The summer Is already begun, and tho time
that remains for this campaign is short. Soon
the heats of midsummer will be upon our
armies, when they can do little in the way Of
fighting, and will be exposed TO the malaria
and other enervating influences Of the climate,
which will reduce their ranks more rapidly
than the battle Geld. Immediate measures
ought to be taken, therefore, to recruit our
armies before It Is too late. II requires at least

The news from Central and South America by
the steamer Northern Light is Of more exciting
character than anything recently received. The
war between Salvador and Guatemala was as
sumng new and greater proportions, and President
Carrera was preparing formidable army to cross
over the frontiers Of Salvador. The latter repub-
lie, in the meantime, Is making most vigorous
efforts for determined resistance! The State Of
Honduras has declared In favor Of Salvador, and
the President was at last advces, at place called
Choluteca, organizing an army for the aid of his
allies. Choluteca is on the advanced frontiers Of
Salvador and HonduraG, and 1t IL expected that
the first bloody battle OF tic new campaign will
be fought there. The forces are pretty equal on
both sides. Carrera had sent General Medina
with q strong force to invade Honduras, while
the Salvadorcans are operating TO check his de.
signs. The next mail will, in oil probability, bring
us news Of q battle, victory and a defeat.

Dok, a seaman late Of the 0ctorara. fell from the

The meeting at the Academy of Music last
evening to ratify the proceedings of the late
Union League demonstration in this city was
highly patriotic and enthusiastic. The immense
building was orammed in every part with loyal
men and women. and the platform or stage
crowded with eminent citizens. The proceedings
will bs found fully detailed in this days paper.
In tbs absence of General Scott, through indispo.
sition, James 7. Brady. Esq, was called to the
chair. MAJOR General Wool was also present. and
speeches were made by the Chairman, General
Wool. Governor johnson, of Tennessee; Tex Senator
Wright, OF Indiana, and several others.
The Poles of this city held large and enthusi-
astic meeting last evening, to take proper mea-
sures for expressing their sympathy with their
brethcrn in arms against the Russians for their
national independence. The proceedings Of last
evening, though interesting IS showing the feel
ings of the resident Poles, were only preliminary
to larger demonstration to take place at an early
day at the Cooper Institute at which men of every
nationality sympathizing with Poland will be
present. We give report elsewhere Of the meet

thought to be almost as sterile and useless as the
desert of Arabiar-is, in reality one grand and
inexhaustible FL Dorado, or 6eld Of gold, silver
and other precious minerals This vast public
domain is thus, no doubt, equal to the task of
building two or three Pacific railroads and Of
paying off every cent of our enormous national
debt resulting from the war, if properly ma
naged by the government. To this end we hope
that proper measures will be taken by the next
Congress to secure to the public Treasury
share of the pickings of these vast gold mines,
in order, while systematizing the location Of
claims and protecting the pre-emption rights of
miners that the general taxation of the country
may be lightened and that the Treasury may be
replenished with gold.
