SOUTH AMERICA.

and Montevideo speak of a most san
culinary battle fought on the Uruguay
river between the army Of Paraguay
on the one side, and that of Brazil
and the Argentine Republic on the
other. The Paraguayans, although
they fought with great bravery, were
assaulted by superior forces, more
thoroughly armed and equipped, and
were butchered almost to extermin-
alton.
The difficulties which have led to
such ferocious warfare between the
contending parties, spring chiefly
out of the unwillingness Of the Para
guayan Government to grant free
passage through its waters to other
nations, and a disputed question Of
boundary with Brazil.
1t can scarcely be deemed possible
that Paraguay, with population Of
only 100000 can long survive a
conflict with States that number over
six millions and half and are much
better provided with the "sinews of
war"
The St. Louis Republican of a
late date, furnishes its readers with
some interesting observations on
Paraguay and the La Plata country,
which are suggestive Of a comparison
between the Northern and Southern
portions of the American continent
to show how much depends on the
character Of people for their own
progression and the development of
their country.
In no part of North America is
there a more desirable abode for hui
man beings than in the territories
watered by the river Plate and its
continents. No where in the United
States is there climate so salubri-
Gus and enjoyable. Fevers of any
kind are of rare occurrence; the
heat is never very oppressive; the
atmosphere is balmy the spirits are
seldom weighed down by feeling
Of lassitude as when they are ex-
posed to the influences of our own
sultry season; and longevity among
the population is by no means rare.
To think Of this La Plata coun-
Empowering an area of million OF
square miles, or equal to that of
twenty of our larger States, stretch
ing through twenty degrees Of lati-
tude, rich in agricultural and mineral
resources, with fine navigable rivers
open the year round, with forests
Astounding in valuable woods, and
blessed with the most splendid eli
mate-to think of such a country
whose first settlement ,Asuncion, the
capital of Paraguay, dated back a
hundred years beyond the first set
Element in the United States and
yet to find that while here our origi-
nal settlements have increased in
population to 30,00O,000 in $50
years, the La Plata territory shows
an increase of only one million in
$50 years Amazing difference !!
How else can it be accounted for
than in the differing characters Of the
two groups ef settlers
The only genuine civilizers who
ever appeared on that scene, says the
St. Louis Republican, were the
Jesuits. Whatever objection may
lie against their character and con-
duct near the Courts of Europe, their
dealings with the Indians Of the La
Plata deserve nothing but praise
These tireless philanthropists organ
lied the docile Guarinis into COM
munities which enjoyed a measure of
happiness never reached by any
Spanish settlement in that country.
It was barbarous persecution that
led to their destruction. Splendid

WHY JEFF. DAVIS FAlLED.-If Jrffer.
son Davis had been superior statesman,
he would have prevented his section brav.
ing the public opiuion Of the world in
hopeless contest. But passing over the
preliminaries of the rebellion. and consid-
ering him merely as the chief magistrate
Of the confederacy. it is difficult to decern
any evidences OF first-rate capacity. The
South, as the werker party in the contest,
had no chance of success but in the most
perfect in,renal unity, and yet Davis re-
tanned his ol! political and personal ami
mositirs. prosecuting prominent men and
capable commanders, to pay off old grudg-
es. This showed equal want Of magnan-
unity and largeness of view. 1t was es-
sential that the confederate administration
should comprise the best abilities Of the
South. But the natural arrogance of Davis
character, and his dictatorial spirit, led
him to prefer tools to counsellors, so that
his administration never had the weight
aud authority of the collective wisdom Of
the South, but only the personal weight Of
the rebel President. The besetting weak.
ness of Davis. character was an unreason-
ing, headstrong obs,inacy. which did not
leave MIN master of his actions. Ii was
this which pushed him into the rebellion
against his own better judgment; it was
this which would brook no independent
advice in the cabinet it was in this which
caused him to persecute some Of his most
deserving generals it was this which
made him persevere in the rebellion after
it had become hopeless. rather than accept
terms which President Lincoln would have
granted him.
