gOVTH AMERICA.


The fortnightly budget Of South American
news which we publish this morning is uncom.
monty gloomy. The instruction in Peru has
again made progress; in Ecuador the disturb
ance has assumed serious character; in Bolivia
three different parties are fighting each other,
and, in common, pilaging the country; in Pa
mama another Rebellion has been at least at
tempted. In all these cases the insurrecton
seems to be headed by ambitious men without
any political principle, and who only aim at
establishing for themselves q reputation, if not
at something still worse. There appears, how
ever, to be no connection between these insur.
rec,ions, as one might be led to infer from their
simultaneous occurrence.
The rebellion in Peru, the most serious,
arose, as we have heretofore explained out OF
the widespread dissatisfaction with the Govern.
ment on account of the acceptance by the lat
ter Of the cxorbitant aud humiliatiDg demands
OF Spain. The action of the Government was
not in accordance with the unanimous resolu-
tons passed by the Peruvian Congress. Still
no law Of the country has thus far been ret
aside; md before the national representation
has had .me 20 pronounce upon the conduct Of
| the Government. some hotspurs have taken the
| law into their own hands, and raised the stand
ard of revolt. The outbreak had from the be-
ginning serous character, because Of the gen.
eral dissatisfaction of the people with the Gov
eminent, and Of some able leaders controlling
the movement.
The instruction in Ecuador arose from a
States Of South America, the most anti-liberal
and anti-progrcssiyc Government, which has
especially given oiiense by an apparent leaning
toward tho monarchical institutions Of the Old
World For the insurrectonsts. however, this
has been the pretcxt rather than the cause; and
as the origin of The movement has been in yio-
laton Of the law. SO its progress and success
could not be but disastrous to the best interests
of South America, for it would be an encourage
ment TO all dsafiectcd parties To embark in new
instructions.
The outbreaks in Bolivia and Panama profess
to be directed against usurpers. That in Pan.
anna was started by an old peace disturber, Gen.
Correosd and inaugurated by most Quixotic
proclamation.
In contrast with that distressing picture Of
civil war, the speech of the President of Chill,
on opening the Chambers, shows us a country
progressing at homo and at peace with all ma
tons of the world. Chill is q living example
that republican forms Of government are not
impossible upon the soil of South America. The
President announces that the difficulty with
Spain has been settled in O manner honorable to
both countries. He fully appreciates the i'm
portance of railroads, telegraphs, immigration,
commerce and reforms, and recommends all
these subjects to the serious attention Of Con-
gress.

THE AGITATION IN SPAIN.

The world has long been accustomed to hear
from Spain reports Of instructions and civil
brois, and a change of Ministry is an event SO
frequent as 10 attract almost no attention. II
the plot which hos recently been discovered at
Valencia, and the subsequent fall Of tho reac.
tonary Narvaez Ministry, are attracting a
larger attention than most Of the recent occur
rences in Spanish history, the reason must be
found in the general belief that Spain is on the
eve Of great revolution, and that the sup
pressed plot is significant symptom oft.
Spain has of late years made considerable
progress in education and material prosperity.
The system of primary and Of higher instruc.
ton has been considerably improved, the num-
Der of liberal, and even democratic, newspapers
is steadily increasing; railroads are bringing
the people into closer contact with the civiliza-
ton of the more advanced countries of Europe;
the priests are losing influence, aud the people
gradually learning to form opinions OF their
own, unbiased by the influence OF the priest
hood, aristocracy, or royalty. The progressive
party is moro numerous than in Italy and
France, and it counts among its leaders men
like Espartcro, the greatest living statesman of
Spain; Ol6zsga, who has also occupied tho posi-.
ton of Prime Minister, Gen. Prim, one OF the
ablest military officers Of modern Spain, and
many othor equally distinguished men.

PAY THE aOLDlERAI

Complaints are so common of unreasonable
and most injurious delays in doing out to the
preservers of the Republic their hard-earned
wages, that We are convinced Of their substan-
tial Justice. We believe company and regi-
mental officers are sometimes in fault-not
having their rolls so prepared that their com.
msnds can be paid when the money is ready;
but there must be fault on the side of the pay
masters also. One letter before us says: ."The
soldiers here "a far Southern city, are greatly
in need, and their families at home are suffering:
the paymaster is here, but has been on spree
for the last ten days, and done very little, and
we hardly know what to expect Of him." And
so in other cases.
Not happening to recollect who is Paymaster-
General, we appeal TO his masters TO direct, COM
pei and oxersce the speedy payment of the SOL
ders. Some have been mustered out, yet not
paid; more are waiting for their pay in order to
be mustered ont; thousands arc held to service
for months if not years, yet have had no
pay since last November. Time was when pay
ment fell in arrears because money was not to
be had; but now there is money on hand, and
the people are pouring more into the Treasury
at the rate of Three to Five Millions per day.
Men in power we implore you to look to it
that the soldiers who remain in service as well
as those mustered ont be promptly and fully

We are informed, on good authority that
an "'n-raiT' was made on Monday nigh,

About o'clock that evening, the family

ascertained the numbers Of this armed band,
