THE PLATA WAR.

In South America, hos,ilities are carried
on with a terocisy unusual in modern war
fare. Having been engaged in revolutions
for years. the people do not seem to regard
devastation and bloodshed with much
horror. We have already remarked that
the war between Spain and Chile will be
carried on chiefly by seq, and this can
therefore scarcely be given as q specimen
Of genuine South American fighting. The
contest, between Brazil and her allies and
Paraguay, known as the Plata War"
being fought on the river Of that name, ia,
however, a fair sample Of unbridled South
American feroci;y. North Americans can
scarcely tell how this wal began, SO in
comprehensive are South American pol
itics, but Paraguay. with a large army and
feet. suddenly invaded Buenos Ayres and
Brazil. and for a time laid waste the oun
try in a manner that was appalling. The
natural result Of a weak country attacking
stronger ones was seen. ~Sanguinary bat
ties were fought, in which quarter was in
many cases denied the wounded or pris-
oners; the Psraguayan feet was stripped,
and the army was forced TO retreat.
Driven back to their wi territory ; the
Psrsguayans resor,ed, TO fill their ,hinned
ranks, to conscripdons quite a. sweeping
as those made in the South during our re-
beliion. Brazil and her allies ~concentra-
ted oil their forces, in turn marched to
invade Paraguay. Having exhausted all
their the Paraguayans opposed
this new invasion but feebly until the
advancing allies reached Fortress Humalsa,
commanding the entrance TO Paraguay
along the Plata river. Here, when last
heard from. the combatants were prepar-
ing for a pitched bss,lc-Brazil animated
by her recent successes. Paraguay stimula-
ted by obssinacy and despair.

We wish that extreme caution would be
exercised in the selection of the iurymen in
our criminal courts. The very best men in
our community should be chosen, for the ques-
tons that come before them Tor investigation
are of greater Importance than any that are
adiudicated in civil courts. II fearless, in
telligent, and substantial men were always
put in the jury-box, there would be more
wholesome examples made among the crimi-
nails and scoundrels with which our city and
the whole country abounds.

Does Capital Invested in Mineral Enter
pTises Pay?

Does Capital Invested in Mineral Enter
pTises PayG
A LATE number of the Nation speaks dis
paragingly Of the value OF the mineral re-
sources of California and our Western Terri
tories, and argues against the probability of
their adding materially to the national wealth.
1t supports this view by the consideration
shat the profits on the total amount of capi-
tai invested in mining are, to say the least, no
greater than our capital invested in other
branches of industry" adduces the fact that
so few of the Incorporated gold and silver
mining companies have ever paid dividend
from actual earnings" and expresses a doubt
"whether either gold or silver dollar is now
added to the currency which does not cost
the nation two or three dollars"
The same line Of reasoning would go to
show that the railroads have added nothing
to the national wealth. Everybody knows
that the total amount of capital invested in
railroad enterprises in this country has, as
yet, realized nothing like the profits of capital
invested in ordinary branches Of Industry,
but who doubts that the national wealth has
been vastly augmented thereby The same
remark might be made of many branches of
our manufactures yet in their infancy.
The truth is, that the whole business Of
mining the precious metals in this country is
in its rudest and most experimental state. 1t
lacks capital, experience, and scientific direc-
ton. Only small percentage of the pure
bullion is extracted from the various
ores, the richest parts being lett in the
tailings" and other refuse of the rude and
imperfect machinery wherewith our mining is
| prosecuted.
Moreover, in the case of our interior Terri
tories-Colorado, Nevada, Montana, New
Mexico etc-there has been the almost fatal
embarrassment of immense distances from
civilized communities. Every stamp-mill,
steam engine and boiler, every pickaxe, spade
and crowbar, every pound OF iron, and for the
first two years every pound of provisions, used
in Colorado has had to be hauled by ox-teams
from the Missouri river to the Rocky Noun
tains-a distance of from seven hundred to
nine hundred miles. So. too, in Nevada,
until within very short period, II piece OF
iron gave way in a machine, it had to be sent
to California to be repaired. California her
self is but just escaping from almost complete
dependence upon the East for her machinery
and manufactures.

IL is In the face Of such difficulties as these
that our mining enterprises in the far West
have been established and prosecuted. For
tunately these difficulties are not inSur-
mountable. Every day adds to the miners
experience; capital is accumulating; science
is discovering new and more perfect processes
for the reduction of the ores and the saving
! of the precious metals; agriculture is becOm-
ing established in the mining regions; foun-
dries and machine shops are being erected in
toe chief mining towns; while, more import
ant than all else, the Pacific Railroad, that
gran6est enterprise OF modern times, is ap-
preaching those distant regions both from the
East and the West, beth from the Missouri
River and the Pacific Ocean, and thus gra-
dually but surely removing the most serious
obstacle which has hitherto stood in the way
of the rapid and profitable development of the
wonderful mineral resources of these distant
and almost unknown portions of our vast
country. Ii, in the past, in the face Of such
difficulties and embarrassments, our gold and
silver mining enterprises have been enabled
to do what they have done, what may we not
reasonably expect from them when the great
mass OF these drawbacks shall no longer exist
Instead of believing, as the Nation seems to,
that these mines are not to add much to our
national wealth, we believe they are destined
to augment it to degree hardly anticipated
even by the most sanguine. No parallels
drawn from mining enterprises in other coun-
tries, Spain, Mexico, and the like, are of any
relevancy here. The conditions are totally
different We have different people, differ
ent laws and customs, anG our industries of
all kinds act under different auspices.
That our mining of the precious metals will
assist in paying off the national debt we have
not the slightest doubt, although the Nation
has. Whatever adds to the national wealth
increases the fund from which the national
debt must be paid, and this we believe our
| gold and silver mining is bound to do. 1t is
evident that our mining operations are in
their merest infancy, and that their growth is
| to be rapid and unprecedented. If they con-
tribute to the well-being of the country in no
other way, they certainly will do so by help
ing to bring about that diversity of industry
which is the Indispensable condition of ma
tional growth and wealth.

The STEPHENS ENDORSEMENT OF O'MA-
HoNY The letter from JAMES STEPHENS,
G. E. /. r., to JOHN O'MAHoNY, II G. T. b.,
which we published on Saturday settles the
quarrel which has threatened to sever the
Brotherhood, by a decision in favor of the
OMAHoNY. The issue OF the difficulty is
as we predicted several weeks since, and is a
declaration against factious opposition to the
constituted authorities. 1t is with the keenest
satisfaction that we see the quarrel thus de-
cided. If the American Fenlans should dis
agree, the result would be fatal to the pros
poets of Irish freedom. If they stand firm,
united, and immovable, the cause Of right will
prevail. We urge those of the Brotherhood
who acted in good faith in their opposition to
Colonel O'MAHoNY to desist; and now chat
the endorsement from the President of the
Republic comes, to yield obedience TO his de-
putty. If they persist, there can be but one
construction put upon their action, and that
is. that they desire not their country'5 free
doom, but their personal advancement. If
they submit, and work with the majority, the
cause will be advanced, and they show them
selves not traitors, but true adherents to their
country's cause. The alternative is submitted
to them. Which road Will they walk in?

The Business Opportunity OF Philadelphia.
OUR whole country has begun a new era
The revolution is more radical than any one
living in it can appreciate. Not only the
Constitution of the United States, but the
spirit of its Interpretation, has been changed.
OF the parties that struggled for power in
1856, and even in 1860, there are few vestiges
left, and new direction has been given to
the State. CHASE is seated in the chair of
TANEY; a national currency has banished
the notes OF State banks; formerly the least
of military powers among leading nations,
America has now become the greatest. The
North has been born anew-and as for the
South, the South has been slain, buried, and
is now arising from its grave.
Every village feels this change; but the
great cities are most affected by it; some, of
course, more than others. To the west new
life will be given by an amazing increase
emigration in the next few years. Chicago.
Detroit, and ST. Louis. will profit by this ele-
ment. But the seacoast cities will chiefly
gain by the renewal oTcommercial intercourse
with the South. Philadelphia New York,
Boston, and Baltimore are entered upon a
new rivalry, fraught with great results. The
South is almost virgin territory; it is as IT
Japan were freely opened to trade, and
America and Europe we're competing for the
golden prize. The old commercial relations
of the two sections have been broken by the
war, and the Southern people must establish
others. Shut out by the blockade and the
war from all ordinary intercourse for four
years, they now wanC everything. They lack
all the luxuries and many of the necessaries of
life. They want things to eat, and things to
wear; agricultural implements for the planta-
ton, and tools Tor the workshop. And though
now comparatively poor, they will rapidly
grow in wealth, and must be at once. and in
the future, large buyers from the North.
Such an opportunity is worth millions OF
dollars to Philadelphia; worth more to her
than to any other city; for this is the only
great port on the Northern seaboard that
suffers from the absence of commercial
facilities. New York needs no such chance
for her commerce is established; but ours can
only be revived by the energetic use of this
unsettled condition. If we neglect it, Phila-
delphia is destined to see the vast tides Of
Southern trade drained into the harbors OF
New York and Baltimore, while into our
magnificent port will eddy only the minor
streams. II we would encourage our manu-
factures, regain our lost commerce, we must
act at once, for competition with an established
trade will be almost useless. For these
WI pnnSiHap tbn fc
establish lines of steamships from this city
to the principal Southern ports the most
important business enterprise begun in Phila'
delphia for years. five millions of dollars
would cheaply buy the benefit, yet it's guaran-
teed that it can be secured for less than one
Yet whatever they may cost, 2oe must haze

and confirmation, and the people viii applaud
and hail with 10y the action. The effect OF
the renovated system cannot but be most
salutary, and all our country needs in the
future is an officer as able as GRANT to I'LL
the post OF General, to-day to be created.
