SOUTHERN APPRECIATION OF Mr.. PEABODY.
speaking of Mr.. Peabodys magnificent
generosity, says the Richmond Wing:
He gives to the Southern people more
than two millions Of the wealth for which he
toiled, while the people in the midst of whom.
he was reared refuse to give them their con-
stitutional rights and the blessings of free
government. II we were to write volume
we could only say in substance what we say
in these few words: The South appreciates
Mr.. PeAbody's splendid donation, is unaf-
fectedly grateful for his kindness, and is
proud to acknowledge him as the benefactor
Of our people. Such man is above praise.

WAsHlEGToN's BIRTHDAY IN CHARLESTON
A dispatch from Charleston, S. C., says the
grand ball given by the officers Of the 9th

dred and fifty persons were present, includ-
ing Major Generals ROBINSON, BuRNs, TYLER
and ScorT, Ex-Governor MAGRATH, Judge
BoYAN, Mayor GAILLARD, Colonel ALFRED
RHErr, Major BURNETT RHETT, the British
French, Spanish, and other foreign consuIs
in full uniform, together with large repre-
sentation of ladies of the most prominent
families in the city. The most cordial good
feeling prevailed. Transparencies with the
name of WAsHISoroS and the words Union
and Liberty" adorned the entrance to the
hall, and the ball room was profusely deco

Reports from the South, no doubt but too
well founded, tell the old story Of want, misery
and starvation coming upon the people with
the coming winter. Naturally the overwhelm-
ing proportion or distress will fall upon the
negroes, not only because they are the landless
AMI houscless race, but because they have been
less providcnt even, so far as was possible,
than the whites have. They have depended
upon the delusye promises of their radical
leaders that they would be provided for by
Congress-that land, houses and crops should
be divided, and they should have lie lions
share; and led by such hopes they have not
only been Indifferent to labor, but have spuraed
it Much of the responsibility for this lies at
the door OF those radical campaigners who,
following the example Of Mr.. Henry Wilson,
went through the Southern States early in the
season making political harangues. Hundreds
Of men of this class went in every direction
in radical pay; and while tho negroes should
have been ploughing and planting they were
going over the country from court house to
court house, following the speakers, spending
what money they could gather on tn, railroads,
anu eiuoymg genefaHJ PoiLcai Jloiee.
Hence, not one in fifty made provision for tho
winter; and now that labor is stopped, and
the planters are not under the old obligation
that slavery laid upon them to support the
laborer the year round, the negroes are without
food or the means Of getting it Sharp misery
will knaw Them to the bone, and those whom
the Freadmcn's Bureau can keep alive will,
maybe, 90 somewhat wiser next year, and will
understand the politicians better.

Our Latest New. from tho East.

A cable despatch which VIC printed in yes
terday's HERALD informs US that 'the great
Powers have addressed note to the Sublime
Porte requesting that the navigation OF the
Dardanelles be made free to the shipping of all
nations" Like most cable dispatches, this is
as vague and Indefinite as despatch can well
be. Some time ago we were told that the
great Powers had addressed a collective note
to Turkey, offering certain offensive sugges-
tons in regard to the internal administration
Of the afflirs Of the empire Fuller informal
ton made US aware that the note was signed
only by a section of the Powers usually called
great Whether this present despatch refers
to the former note or to fresh note, or whether
all the Powers or only some of them have
signed it, we are left to conjecture. Since the
Crimean war Russia has been excluded from
the Black Sea, and the ships of war Of other
nations have not, except by special favor, been
permitted TO enter the Sea Of Marmora. The
opening up Of the Sea of Marmora, to which
the Dardanelles Is the entrance. to the shipping
Of all nations is not compatible with tho con-
tinued exclusion of Russia from the Black Sea.
The natural result, therefore, of the free navi-
CATION Of the Dardanelles would be the subjec-
ton Of Turkey to the disintegrating, or as she
herself would doubtless have reason to call it,
demoralizing influences Of Western and North
ern Europe. 1t is flank movement not un-
sklfnlly conceived, and if the Porte yields it
must prove either the salvation or destruction
of the empire. Much Of course, depends on
the question whether the note has been gen.
orally signed. Further information is needed
before we can hazard o Judgment OF the case.

The War in PuruUuay.

The war in Paraguay, which has dragged its
slow length along for these two years, has at
length encountered an incident that may hasten
its termination. The Parpguayan forces under
the command OF President Lopez have achieved
o complete success in the offensive operations
which they had assumed. Attacking the
Brazilian camp, they carried IL by storm,
taking fifteen hundred prisoners and several
pieces of artillery. The Brlzlians obstinately
defended their camp and lost nearly four thou
sand men killed, wounded and missing.
A very complete history Of the origin and
progress of this war, which Brazil, with the aid
of Uruguay and. for time, Of the Argentine
republic, has waged upon plucky little Para
guay-twelve millions md half against one
million and half-was given by our special
correspondent in the HERALD Of the 18th of
September last. Both sides have made proof
of a valor AMI an endurance which would have
done no dishonor to the armies engaged in the
bloodiest s!rfes Of the Csimean war. Bat the
devotedness of the Paraguayans 10 their favor
ito chief, their sacrifices, their perseverance,,
the strategic and engineering skill with which
they have resisted overwhelming numbera
must, together with their latest victory over the
Brazilian forces, tend to convince the world of
the justice OF their cause and Of the resources
for defence against foreign invasion possessed
by them in their unbrokcn spirit of determina-
ton as well as in the peculiar advantages of
their country, which, with its impenetrable
forests and the narrow defiles between its deep
e.. ,Gal L..
ITSELF
Paraguay is defending the integrity of her
nationality and har territory. Holding as she
does the key to the whole upper Parana and
the superb valley OF The Paraguay river, her
overthrow by Brazil wouli DO fatal, at least
for long series Of years, to the valley of
La Plata; because it is no! improbable that
the prediction of our correspondent would bo
fulfilled in such case. The allies would begin
at once contest for the spoils which would
destroy the prosperity of valley second in
its productive wealth only to the valley OF the
Mississippi.
The Paraguayan war, as we have previously
had occasion to say, had its origin in the
attempt of certain European Powers to take
advantage of our own civil war to overturn The
republics Of the Western World. 1t formed
part Of the plan conceived by Napoleon for
the establishment of an empire in Mexico. II
was not unalied to the onslaught OF England
and France on New Granada and what we
have called the spiictul dash OF Spain against
her old colonies of Chile ani Peru And IL
now seems doomed, like the Mexican expe.li-
ton, to disastrous failure. Without foreign aid
the allies cannot hope to conquer Paraguay,
which VIC have already described as in itself .
natural fertilization. AMI foreign aid is likely
to be withheld, now that our happy issue out
of civil war has dcraugcd all European plans
for establishing and tightening monarchica
institutions In the Western World.

The Latest Tenemest House NIurdcr.
Another tenement house 1re has resulted in
adding yet another to tbs list of those shocking
tenement house calamiies which from time to
time startle the community and awaken breeze
OF public indignation against those Infamous
traps known as tenement houses, for the suffoca-
ton ofnen, women and children. The lives of the
poor people sacrificed in this Second avenue
trap, whether chargeable to carele sness or
incendiarism, cannot be restored. They have
been murdered, we may say but fearful as
the responsibility may be of the party against
whom the direct accusation of negligence in
reference to this fro may rest, or horrible as
may be the crime ii the act Of q skuiking in
cendiary, the responsibility at last must be
divided between The officers whose duty il is
to enforce the law concerning tenement
houses and the owners OF these villanous dens.
Had the law beea enforced in this Second
avenue tenement house for its security against
FIRE, the fire by acciden. coall not have oc-
Cured; but supposing It to be by design, had
the law been enforce in reference to ventilation
and fire escapes, there would have been no
not soul would have been lost How, then,
+ is it that the law has been disregarled? Have
the off ,ers charged with it3 execution been
tempered with by any such body of men as
tenement house association? Can 1t bs that
tenement house owners are saved the expenses
Incidental to fu,6lment of the law by bribery
and corruption! Can 1t be that the officer is
blinded by hush money or persuaded to pass
by on the other side? These are questions
which our law and order fellow ci izens as
well as our professional philanihropists, should
look into and sift to the bottom. II it is true
that everything good in human society has cost
more or less bill of human lives we have
the right to demand that the sacrifice OF these
unfortunate fellow creatures of yesterdays
smotherlng shall at least result, among our
poor people, in greater safely to the living.

The Dickens Ticket sale-How 20 Prevent
Further Trouble.

Further Trouble.
There was great gathering the other night
at Steinway Hall around some pediers Of
political nostrums, and George Francis Train
was the Merry Andrew Of the occasion, who
was present to keep the public in good humor.
In the course Of many sallies and somersets he
touched upon that great topic, the sale Of the
Dickens tickets, in these words 81 say Mr..
Dolby is interested with Palmer and Jarrett
in the sale of these tickets" Here
the Merry Andrew gave expression to
q thought that seems to be in tho atmos-
phere; but we do not believe there is
any truth in the charge. Dolby, Dickens and
the "Black Crook men are all in hot pursuit
OF dollars, no doubt, but we do not believe
there is any disposition to get them in this case
by unfair means. But it is certain that there
is great dissatisfaction with the results Of every
sale; and much suspicion Of something wrong (;
and the latest proposition to have a registry
made OF the names of those who wish to secure
seats does no! promise much better results.
There is but one good and safe plan, and that
is to have the tickets sold at auction-the best
seats for the highest bidder. This plan has
always worked we'll Mr.. Dickens does not
wish to secure more than two dollars for each
entry to the readings, and he need not. He
can give all that is received over two dollars
per ticket to some good city charity, and thus
at once prevent dissatisfaction, please all
parties and do good to the poor
