POOR HOUSE DIRECTOR,

MEssRs. Cowan, Randall, Dooliltle,
& CO., have made call for National
Union q Convention to meet in Phila>
delphia, on the 18th of Aug proxlmo.
Oi course an urgent invitation is given
to al the States Of the Union to send
delegates, in order that their "erring
brethren OF the South may be amply
represented Their Southern leaders
cordially endorse the programme, South
ern journals give it the widest circula>
ticn, and urge upon their respective
States the expediency Of sending repre- -
scntatlves. Some OF whom have already
selected delegates.
This nee1s no comment, indeed it is
in keeping with the men who have it
Sin tow" In trnth it viii be "a motlr,
cre,c in council deep assembled" The
fire>eaters of the South and the peace
makers of the North, "chlvary" and
"mudsllls,' men who did the "blow-
ing whilst the Others did the fighting.
We wouli as soon believe in the ming
ling Of oil and water rs that two such
elements could come together. 1t is
needless to say that it is disgusting to
the true Union men of our country.
Mr.. Raymond, of N, Y, declares the
Times and himself will pursue a different
course, that he has been grossly decelv
ed by 'my policy and will purge him
self of his great wrong Many others
see the abo'ninable heresy prac,iced by
these conscience calloused men and are
deserting their traitor rauks. 1t is cal
culated to have this good effect. and we
can think of no better plan by which the
periily Of such men could be made
known.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN WAR


Another battle has been fought in

have again been defeated. Oar dis

Paraguayan army of 10000 infantry and
5000 cavalry attacked the Allied forces

material advantage. it is added, was
gained by the Allies; but to us it seems
that Paraguay cannot well afford such
sacrifices OF men and material.
Though defeated, the Paraguayans
did not retreat. but retired to their
camp Hostiliies recommended, bat
the latest information does not state,
though it is probable, whether the Allies,
followed up their advantage and assum
ed the offensive A further complication
of the South American situation was
threatened by revolution in Cofdova,
which failed. Had it succeeded, the
distress OF the Argentine Republic would
have been of invaluable aid to Para

VIZ learn that our old friend, Hester
Clymer. goes ont aud makes speeches oc-

hallucinalions under which he seems to
be laboring AT recent meeting at
Exeter, Berks county, he insisted that
Judge Woodward was elected Governor
three years ago, and similar halucina>
ton will likely haunt him the remainder
OF his days 1t is not uncommon TO find
such alterations of the mind, but it is
very seldom that persons so afflicted are
proposed for the important position OF
Governor. a venerable dame in New
York believes herself the wife Of James
Buchanan, with twelve children born to
him in lawful wedlock, the said offspring
being represented by sundry dogs, cats,
dolls, sc, about her; but they consider
her a lunalic and keep her in the asylum.

he believes everybody crazy but him,

The Armv of the Elbe having occu,

advanced without meeting with any re-

the 2S,h they had severe engagement
at Munahengratz, in which, according
to the Prussian statements, the Austri-
ans suffered n loss of 1000 men. The
latter were compelled to retreat to
Furstenbruck An Austrian dispatch

were so Thoroughly defeatel by Gen,

were engaged with the enemy on the
