similar monster made an annual attack upon the sun

TEE soUTu AMERICAN wAR.

Another battle has been fought in South America,
and the Paragraphs have again been defeated. Our
dispatches state that on May oath the Paraguayan
army of 49, 900 infantry and 5000 cavalry attacked
the Allied forces with desperation, ererepulsed and re-
tired from the field, losing 5000 killed and large
number wounded. No material advantage 1t Is
added, was gained by the Allies but to us 1t seems
that Paraguay cannot well afford such sacrifices OF
men and material
From the beginning OF the war, Paraguay has
achieved no important success, and the strong com
binaton Of Brazil, the Argentine Republic, and
Uruguay, has bailed every effort of her generals
Her enemies, on the other hand, have not yet sue
cecled in Destroying her courage or her hopes The
war is gaining ierceness, and there is no
probability of its speedy end Though de-
ieatei, the Paraguayans did not retreat, but
retired to their camp. Hostilities recommended but
tho latest Information does not state, though it is
probable, whether the Allies followed up their adj
van age and assumed the offensive. further CON-
plicaon Of the South American situation was threat
ened by revolution in Cordoya which failed. Had
it succeeded the distesses of the Argentine Republic
would have been Of invaluable aid to Paraguay.

A BANKRUPT LAW.

We are az great loss to conceive what advantage the
creditor can gain By keeping his debtor from paying
and what benefit Congress does to the community by
still booming an unfortunate class of our fellow-men
to enforced poverty, shame, and inactivity. When
debtor suyronders to his creditors the last dollar he
possesses pray tell US what is the use OF cutting oil
his hands and branding him foreverl Practically
the debtor is a pariah and an outcast. We DO not
ask BIZ what circumstances he became in
voyed in debt, whether he is able to
earn and willing to pay. The law, another relic
Of barbarsm shuts him out from all hope either OF
paying his creditor or redeeming himself and family.
We have known talented business men, capable OF
retrieving their fortunes crushed and ruined under an
absurd Law, By which il is impossible for creditors to
reap more than small fraction Of the money due
them The loss to the creditor 10 society," and to the
bankrupt, by such law, is incalculable. We look,
then for the passage Of Bankrupt law as one of the
great demands Of business, Of the best signs OF
advancing civilization.
viii Congress cease paltering and, in the name OF
simple Justice, give Us a good Bankrupt law.i

THE CAMPAIGN IN BOMEmIA.

We are still but imperiecty Informed OF the bloody
engagements which on the 10Th, 9th and 2-th Of
June had taken place in Bohemia between the ar
mics Of Prussia andOf Austria. The result it seems,
was fax from being decisive; on the contrary, the
Governments Of both Austria aud Prussia were shout
ing over pretended victory.
III some respects there is between The Prussian and
the Austrian dispatches an irreconcable difference
Both accounts will probably lie found to be exagger-
ated with regard to details; but from comparison Of
the two classes of dispatches, some Of the most i'm
portant facts of the campaign can without difficulty
be established.
The Army of the Elbe having occupied Reichen-
berg on the 25th Of June advanced, without meeting
with any resistance on the 10Th TO Iurnau. On the
23th they had severe engagement at Munchengratz,
in which, according to the Prusslan statements, the
Austrians suffered loss Of 1900 men. The latter
were compelled to retreat TO Flrstenbrick. An Aus
trian dispatch mentions that subsequently the Prus
SLAMS advanced even so far as Gtschn (or Jicn but
that at this place they were so thoroughly defeated
by Gen. Edelsheim that they had to eyacuate
Melnik, Dauba and Leipa, and retreat to Niemes, Il
town near the Saxon frontier.

ers taken at Nachod and Trautenau at
5000. The latest dispatch from the Austrian side
triumphantly announces that the Prussians were
finally, on the 2sh, completely defeated, leaving
third of their army killed and wounded, and that they
thereupon withdrew to Prussian territory, toward
Glatz.
The Austrian statement as TO the issue of the bat
ties on the 2Sth of June is very defne but further
confederation is needed before it can be accepted as
Trustworthy.

What should we think if, after an important and
exciting debate in Congress, the mob of Washington
were TO gather about the gates of the Capitol for the
express purpose of bullying the obnoxious members
as they came ont for their dinners We are lecured
so sharply and stoutly by English newspapers andmag
azne about prevailing demagogy and our popular
excuses that it would MT be humanity natural tor Us
not to take notice that "a congregation Of the peo-
pie" on the 9th ut, after the Reform debate gath
cred outside the Houses Of Parliament to groan Sir
John Pakington, to hiss Lord Dunkeln, to boot Mr..
Whtesde and to groan, hiss and boot poor
Dizzy, to say nothing Of the cheers bestowed
upon Mr.. Gladstone, John Bright and Lord
Russell. Now and then, we have little
irregular applause in the galleries of Con-
gress, but it is understood TO be both irregular and
intolerable; the Sergeant-at- Arms goes up without
moments delay, and usually, upon notion the gale
ries are cleared-a process in which even the most
enthusiastic culprls quietly acquicsce. One reason
for this is that however high public feeling may run,
We have plenty of Satetyyayes-the newspaper, the
caucus the frequent popular election, and perfect
liberty Of speech. II may seem paradoxca but il is
none the less true in fact that the masses, being the
creators Of Congress, as a general rule insist that
their handiwork shall be respectfully considered.
Members of Congress are sometimes poor creatures;
but until they are regularly turned out the worst of
