The wAB IN SOUTH AMERICA

The TRIBUNE on Monday gave exclusively
an account Of the opening of war between the
Argentine Republic and Paraguay. We pub.
lish to-day. from papers received yesterday from
BuenOs Ayres, additional details of the fnt
movements Of the belligerents.
President Mitre, on receiving the news Of
the wanton invasion Of the Argentine Re.
public, issued proclamation to his ',fellow
countrymen' summoning them to their posts n
citizen-solders. According to the press u
Buenos Ayers, the proclamation has been re.
ceived with enthusiasm, and all political parties
are said to be united in determination TO sup.
port the Government.
According to present appearances, the war
may become one Of the most important that has
yet taken place in South America. The land
forces Of Paraguay are estimated by the Buencs
Ayres Standard at 10000. those OF the allies
Brazil. the Argentine Republic and Uruguay
are expected to reach soon 5000. But the
greater number of this force has yet to be raised
while the Paraguayan force is already in the
field. 1t is thought, therefore, that it may take
a few months before the allies can assume The
aggressive.
The combined population of the three allied
countries So far outnumbers that of Paraguay.
that the success of the latter would seem to 10
impossible. The Paragraphs hope, however.
that they will find many allies in the northern
of the Argentine Republic, and in
Uruguay. In the Brazilian province of Rio
Grande, which will now lie the first to be over.
run by the forces of Paraguay, the slaves form
a vast majority ofthe inhabitants, and by giving
them liberty, President Lopez would detaeA
this valuable province from Brazil.
1t is evident that the issue of this war may
have important consequences for large portion
Of South America.

most excellent man, but in one particular
he was very singular. Although resi-.
dent Of this country during almost the De.
Rod OF its existence as an independent ma
ton, he never was naturalized until a few
years ago. He said he was willing to tru.
his liberties in the hands of the American
people. But when Abraham Lincoln was
a candidate for the second time for the
Presidency, and war was raging in the
land, Mr.. Clark, then over a century old
voluntarily became naturalized and wen,

The prison Surgeons report of the Rich

a fraction over one half of all the eases en-.

cases were more, the result of inhuman
treatment and neglect than disease. But
n little more than half the necessary num-
Der of beds were provided, and the nurses
often occupied them to the exclusion of the
sick. After our men died their bodies
were thrown as the carcasses of so many
dead animals, they were piled i'm the dead

The North Missouri Extension.

Th" st. Louis papers notice the presence
in that city OF delegations of citizens o
! Iowa, callcdthere to confer with their bust
ness men and capitalists in reference to The
/ extension of the North Missouri Railroad
into this State. These delegations repre-
scented two interests, one an extension (,
/ Ottumwa, and the other railroad projec
! 90 extend a road from the State line through
Iowa to st. Paul. There were several meet.
ings held at which speeches were made by
both the Iowa gentlemen and prominent
citizens OF st. Louis. Good feeling seems
to have prevailed on the occasion, all agree.
ing upon the main point, that the North
Missouri ought to be extended into this
State. We should publish all the speeches
made on the occasion, if they had been re.
ported in full and accurately, as we arc
inclined to think they were not. Judge
Trimble, we are told, made a very able
speech, OF which we have bare outline
and the same might he said of Messrs
Love and Gillaspy, of this city.
BY the way, our st. Louis friends have
got things a little mixed up. For instance
we SEQ they have Judge Trimble "former-
ly member Of Congress, and a resident
of Ottumwa'. whereas that gentleman is
n very prominent citizen of Bloomfield,
and has never yet had the misfortune to
go to Congress. And again, Judge IT. is
represented as urging the transportation OF
pine lumber from Minnesota as a profita-
BILE branch of business of the proposed
L., +rf ,y,ly l,r
Judge would deem the competition of the
Mississippi too formidable to leave much
margin of profit in that article.
We have seen and conversed with Judge
Love and Col. Gillaspy since their return
and they assure us that the citizens of st.
Louis are all right on this railroad ques-
ton; that when the time for action comes.
after the road is permanently located to
the State line, it will seek Ottumwa, where
Il connection can be had at once with n
road already completed to Des Moines in
the direction of Minnesota, and with an
other road at that time probably completed
half way to the Missouri River. Our ST.
Louis friends want to compete for the
trade Of Iowa, and they will probably de-
cide that they can accomplish that object
more expeditiously and cheaplv by aiding
us build 80 miles of road when by so doing
they will be hroug' into immediate and
direct communication with the whole of
Iowa by three great lines radiating from
this central point-one directly West to the
mouth of the Platte, one to the Capital Of
the State, and thence ultimately North to
ST. Paul, and by filling up gap of thirty
eight miles between this city and Wash
ington, adirect routeto Chicago. 1t strikes
us that those connections, attainable by
building less than thirty miles of road,
will be quite as attractive to the sagacious
business men and capitalists of st. Louis
as project to build 800 miles Of road to
st. Paul.
