BUESOs AYREs, Oct. Z, 1859.
The Argentine Confederation is thoroughly moved
by its military enterprise. To subdue and restore
province, called refractory, the remaining twelve
provinces send all their meR, use all their arms,
exhaust the resources of the country, and find the
chief difficulty of the war to be in the want Of an
efficient soldiery and want of money.
Rosario ia threatened by the BuenOs Ayrean fleet
Business is totally suspended there. The Custom
House has not been open for three days, and the
soldiers sleep upon their Gen. Urquiza is
approaching Gen. Mitre but slowly, and feels In
tensely the want of better equipments.
Gen. Urquza has sent a messenger to Buenos
Ayres. TO ask if a committee TO arrange peace
would be received. The answer was affirmative,
and An embassy on that errand will shortly appear,
unless the offers Of foreign mediation make it I'M
necessary.
The Congress of the Confederation adjourned by
constitutional limitation Sept. 80. Vice-President
Deraui delivered fulsOme message, wordy, and
full Of generalities, concerning liberty, the glorious
Confederation, the grand United States OF North
America and, above all, the many aud remarkable
virtues OF Gen. Urquiza.
The farce of an election is now in progress in the
various provinces, by which Derqu Is To De made

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 10, 1850
The reports from Charlestown, Last evening, have
thrown this little town into spasms, causing the en-
barkaion of some hundred armed TO the teeth TO
meet, as they supposed an army Of AboIitionisss-
body Of men supposed have been seen in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of Charlestown and near enough the
town tojustify one of Gov Wises brave sentines TO
Ere and retreat to the main army creating general
alarm not only among the braves but throughout the
Commonwealth 1t seems however, this morning, not
TO be as serious as was at first represented. The
large army of Abolitionists turns TO be little OPP
teal illusion of the sentinel he having been in hard
fight the day before with King Alchy," which 30
affected his sight to make pos;-and-ra fence look
like body OF men armed to the teeth with Sharps
Rifles. The bravery of the sentinel is not TO be ques-
toned, however, as no coward would have dared to
fire into what he supposed TO be army, and had
strength left to retreat to his friends Another evil
dence that the sentinel perfectly cool and collect
ed in his trying position is the telling effect Of his
shot, which split in moet fearful manner ofhe rails.
1t is confidently believed here that the. fence viii be
compelled to surrender and suffer with John Brown
for its presumptuous imposition on the military Of Viz

ArrENPr on THE LIFE OF TIRE French En-
PERoR.-Thc Paris correspondent of the Boston
Post gives the following story of another al
tempt Oh the life Of Louis Napoleon:
" Meanwhile, rumOrs-wCll founded [ be-
lleve-ot another attempt upon the Emperor :
live have got abroad. and the severity with
which all spreadeTS of reports have been visited
hut adds one proof the more 10 the trufh Of this
one. Ii seems that the information of the as
sassin intention obtained by the police
through an anonymous letter; and the rcveIa-
tions made by the culpTit have been SO terrible
and 80 convincing Of the utter helpIessness Of
the police against the unseen enemy, working
in the dark against the peace and safety of the
masses. that the highest functionary Of that in
stitutiOn has been seized with u fit of homeless
dependency at the sight of the web woven
round him by the Marianne, and which, with
all his spies and well-ordcred machinery he
has been unable 10 prevent. The assassin be-
longs to Lille, was = silk weaver Of the place
and undertook the task Of poignardng the
Emperor, in virtue Of the chance which had
designated him by tho number seven at the
meeting of the Marianne. The meaning of the
number has been kept secret from the vulgar
but the police have learned il sure enough
and tremble. Last night, in the clubs and
cafes, it was said that the murderer. whose
process rTybai was not quite terminated. had
cnt his throat at the Prefecture, TO the disnay
Of the smpioyes and the great relief of the
higher officials. who had begun to find that \
further extent Of revelation might become in
convenient, giving them more work to do than
they could well get through for some time To
come. Of the circumstance of the attempt at
assassination having been made, L can warrant
the truth, the assertion of the murderer self
destruction may be no more than rumOr."
