hardly prepared for such a scorching march.
Allhou a Iuka i only the short distance OF 20
miles, no march at all for u, one-third that dis

Johu S,ideu ON slavery

A member of the foreign legation in Washing
ton just arrived from Europe, relates of This dis
tinguished rebel story which is now widely cis-
culated:
One of his cousins, who holds Office in the
Department of tie Interior in France, having
be, n invied TO ono Of SIidelI's soiices. awaited
him elf of the oppouunity-iirst, TO SIC how a
Sou hern rebel looked; second, to know his
opinion about slavery. As it may well be i'm
agined, the French official was the object of the
most delicate attention on the part of Mrs. Sill
dell and her husband, who strove to persuade
him of the holiness of the Sou hern cause
and TO make him believe in its ultimate sue
cess. After having exhausted all their argu-
ments, the FrenchTan politely addressing Mr..
ilell, asked whether he was not of the opinion
that The moral attitude of the North in this con-
test was an impeding mt to The success Of the
South and il the maintenance of slavery did not

You are perfectly right" answered Mr. Sill
dell; Europe Is averse to our insi u.ions, and

what your ancestors did, nearly an age ago, in the
National Assembly of France. They will sacri-
flee them as necessary offering 10 their coun-
try's peaceful welfare. But now this sacrifice is
impossible. 1t would look as an act of ineifi-
cheney on the part Of the South TO maintain its
integrity, aud would weaken rather than
strengthen Us. BE sure, however, iha. the time
is not distant when the institution of slavery

The longest war recorded in history, ifnot the
most destructive and Inn 'ortant was that waged
for hundred and eighty two years against tlt ir
) .,anish invaders by an Indian tribe, or rather
nation, called tie Araucanians, occupying the
southeastern part of South Ameri, q. In a re-
cent Chilian work now before Us, We lind a
sketch of this obstinate struggle, from which we
gather the following facts:
In the year $40, the celebrated Pizarro having
made himself master Of Peru sent Pedro dc Val
diva, of his most able civil AMI military fol-
lowers, TO make rho conquest of Chill. who. at
the head of $50 s ,,aniariS and body of Peluvi-
an auxiliaiieS, penetrated into tic heart OF the
country. cenqueTing the brave AlaucanianS in
numerous battlc>, and finally in cat llain. in
WITCH the found the hus Of 10000 Indians, lay
ing in 1871 the foundation OF Santiago. The nres-
enr capital of the republic. lie also founded
another important city. 70 which he gave his own
name. After nine years fighting he made him
self master of all the northern part OF Chill which
he divided among his soldiers. In the midst of
his bilIant triumphs. n he thought them. a
grand reverse and death itself awaited him: for
in 1852 Can2olicon. tie great Araucanian chief,
won a signal victory over him, taking him pri-o-
ner and putting him 10 ieash. \ heroic Arau-
canaan youth named Lau'aru commanded the
native forces in this hattie and Afterwards cen
