Civilization introduces dsnsen az well as deigets.
Nis but short tune sisos these shores erst echoed
Re .h,,l whiste Il the steamer and last week they
wore shocked BY The fret explosion Of steamboat
yA4 Government stsauer General 0utram. high
pss.sure sts amer Of English build, exploded in the
hper roads, ,csstering fragments of the boat and
mot isted bodies in all dir ctioDs. The n7m,er re-
ported of Killed., wounded, and miss ng is -, more
than half Of whom were killed instantly, or have
aed since Happily, no Americans were among
the unfortunate.
1t seems that South American news cannot be
1Aelly pacific. The Argentine and Buenos Ayrean
srmies have retired; the fleets are diminishing in
sumber and force; ships Of war are being sold and
Me crews are seeking places of labor on land.
Meantime, the war steamer of Paraguay, the Ia
saar, being in this port, and about to depart, is
intercepted in the outer roads by the two British
war steamers Grnppler and Buzzard, and for safety
thc puts back. This same Tacuari is the Govern
ment steamer which unnecessarily ran down ana
sunk The British merchant steamer Little Polly IN
l&tS; and the Government utterly refused TO con-
ssaer claim for damages.
lt in q decidedly encouraging feature IN South
American affairs that war is more and more dePre-
Gated, and pesce more and more appreciated. Inc

Of the late difficulties in this country have been
warmly Acknowledged. The foreign residents gave
hin a rich testimonial; the working class did also.
Cabs and societies of all kinds, shOwered thanks
asS compliments upon him. The President also
seeIees him hOnors, and IN turn the Province of
Gorrientes gives Gen. Urquiza gold medal richly

The Province of Entire Rios, Of which Gen. Ur-
SuiEa n Governor, as well as President OF the Re
pAbhc, has called Convention to form new Pro-
vineial Constitution. 1t is not q revolutionary
movement.
Pedro Rosas, an outlaw, hanging on the Southern
loEGer, has made an incurson, carrying off 100 OOC
lead sf cattle. For these he finds ready market
in Chill, and as he steals all his goods, he can sci
cheap This trade has been carried on for years,
ard those Indians and outlaws have never ones
been severely ehastised. Six months ago they
made on attack on the Village of Bahia Blanca, and
carried OF l,GG0 horses from within reach Of the
guns Of the fort and in exchange, only left half
dozen OF so OF their number.
The place 80 ably filed by the Hon. B. c. Yancey
a. Minister to the Confederation, is now filled b.
Gen. John L. Cushman, of Mississippi. 1t will b'
difficult for any other man to gain the in6uenc'
ever Gen. Urquiza that was held by MIR. Yancey
Gen. Cusbmhn came IN the Parana.
Two leagues more Of the Railroad are opened I
travel and trade to-day. The road, though no
very tkillfully managed, is owned by the Govern
Dsnt, and il is highly profitable.
Brazil has offered her mediation TO England ant
Paraguay. IFS acceptance is not known. .t
Aouteyideo is approaching Presidential election
and is passing through the usual disquietudes o
zach en- occasion. Murders are becoming litt'
too frequent; they are being checked by an eXecu
lien every Monday.
Business is improving. Wool begins to come in
but net 20 good nor so abundant as last year.
