Paraguay.


The results of the attempt to form sort
of isolated nation, holding intercourse
with none other, has been exemplified In
Paraguay. 1t is to inspire an uncontrol-
liable curiosity on the part Of the world to
look inside such nation, and nothing can
keep out intruders. The Yankees carry
this sort of curiosity further than any
other people; but it is quite natural. 30
we find the little nation of Paraguay set
upon by all her neighbors, including Bra
zil-the most powerful of them.
Yet the Paraguayans fight with indomi-
table spirit, and adhere to the Dictator
LOPEZ with fidelity that is wonderful.
After campaign of two years the allies
have only gained nine square miles of Pa
raguayan territory-hardy enough to
spread out the dead since the war began !
In March the invading forces amounted to
60, 900 men, and the naval fleet comprised
sixty-sevcn vessels-ten Of them iron
cladS.
The Paraguayans numbered $4,000, yet
so energetic was their defence that the
Brazilian feet was kept at bay for forty
days by battery oftwo sixty eight-pound-
ers on spit of land at Itapura. In April
the allies were reduced to $4,000 men,
aud LOPEZ TO 10000. But the Paraguay
ans were at last dates exerting all their
means. Women and children were work
ing for the army, and the women are sup
posed to fight by the side of the men, as
some have been found slain on the field.
Old men and boys make up large part Of
the army; and the intrepidity of the Para
guayans is observed by the cutting down
Of numbers Of them at the muzzles ofguns
Of the allies, endeavoring to drag them
from the field. One Of them was found
drowned in the Parana after he had sue
cessfully exploded torpedo under one OF
the allied vessels.
The whole population of Paraguay num-
bers only 100000 souls, and besieged as
she is by such odds the general sympathy
must be with her. The allied army is
composed chiefly of negroes, and almost
wholly ofnegroes and Indians. 1t is feared,
however, from latest accounts, that the
Paraguayans would be overcome, as they
were nearly exhausted. The United
States tried in vain to make peace be-
tween them and their enemies.
Mr.. LETTsoM, British consul at Monte
vdeo, writes under 29th May to Lord
STANLY:
81 cannot but hope that ere long the
voice of some strong and disinterestcd
power will make itself heard in manner
which will at once put an end to this desc
lating war, and secure for the people OF
Paraguay more freedom than they have
hitherto enjoyed, and to which boon they
have proved themselves to be fully emil
tied"
On the goth June he fears the Para
guayans will have to succumb.

EXPEDITION to Abyssinia-

The unrequited love Of THEODORE and
his barbarous mode of revenging himself
is about to lead to grand expedition of
an English army into Abyssinia, to punish
him for his cruelty to Englishmen detained
by him in prison.
The expedition is to be organized in In.
dia under Sir ROBERT NAPIER, of the fight
ing family Of that name. The expedition
will move from Bombay, and the town of
Mussowah on the west shore of the Red
Sea will be the base of operations. Abys-
sinia borders on that sea and Mussowah is
in it's territory. Transports are to be dis
patched from England, and number are
to be collected at Bombay. To give some
idea of the expedition, we state that 1000
mules ere to be purchased for it in Asia
Minor. Five ships are chartered to carry
them, and veterinary surgeons arc to at
tend them. The Viceroy of Egypt has been
requested to purchase 5000 camcls, and
arrangements are made to transport them
also to the point of departure for scene of
operations. Two batteries Of artillery and
squadron of English dragons will &C.
company the expedition; but the troops
will be mainly from India. The whole
force will be about 10, 900 men. The troops
will have a march of thirty days when
they begin their up-country movement.
The Indian commiSsariat will have entire
charge of provisioning the troops, who will
have wearisome march over sandy de-
serts and mountains. The movement for
the interior will begin about the lst of
December.
There is much difference Of views about
this expedition in London. One party is
for an overland foray by way Of Egypt.
Another party insists that force must
land upon the coast, and make its way into
the interior. A third produces the un-
welcome information that such an army,
before it can approach King THEoDoRE's
capital, must traverse district of three
hundred miles broad, crowded with dense
jungle, and divided by inaccessible noun
tains. But we have managed an Ashantee
war more than once, says the Times, and
Abyssinia cannot we'll be worse. No, re-
joins pitiless correspondent, We never did
manage an Ashantee war: the Ashantees
always managed US. We destroyed two
or three armies in on attempt to pierce
only hundred miles of jungle; his
Ashantee Highness meanwhile troubling
himself only to keep out of the way. Per-
haps the most curious trait Of all is that
the English congratulate themselves that
the business is not to be managed by the
nome authorities-that is, by the War
olhce, or Horse Guards-but by the In
dian authorities. 1t is considered that
department which very lately half starved
cavalry regiment in an attempt to move
II from Aldershott to Hounslow, might find
itself embarrassed with the conduct of an
expedition comprising an effective force Of
lo,00O men, with commissary, quarter

All Turn to Richmond

Several friends who have recently re-
turned from the kanawha Valley-and
who are perfectly cnthused by the beauty
and wealth Of that contry-say that all
ewes are turned on Richmond. elf Rich

Elsewhere and we who have ever look

Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
The Vote Io.ddl.

To. day Richmond settles the question Of
her subscription to the stock of the Chesa-
ncakc and Ohio Railroad.
To-day she determines whether she VIII
make an effort for share of the trade oil
the great West, or whether she will abap-
don the field and give up the contest In In
glorious and hopeless apathy.
To-day the people of Richmond will say
whether they intend to make Richmond o
great manufacturing city, by bringing from
tho West the raw material for that pur-
nose and they will further decide whe-
ther thew will extend their commerce by
openinc communications with the West.
To-day we have to decide whether Rich
mond shall continue to count her popula-
,;on hv tens instead of hundreds OF thoat-
sands. ;,
Tho real estate holders should vote for
the appropriation that his property may
be enhanced many times in value.
The merchant should vote for 1t that his
trade may be increased.
The manufacturer should vote for it that
his business may be increased and his
profits multiplied.
The mechanic should cordially give his
vote for it that he may secure steady en-
n,oyment-his class may be increased in
nnmbcrs-and become able to establish in
stitutions for improving their knowledge of
science and art.
The laborer should vote for it that he
NAV never want employment and that
wages may be always remunerative.
The young men should all vote for it
that they may open the way for their own
prosperity and be saved the sad necessity
of leaving their own city to seek fortune
elsewhere.
Every one, whatever be his calling or
state, should vote for the subscription to
promote the growth and welfare of Rich
mond, and the power and glory of our
noble old mother Virginia.
Give this vote, and you will in after
days be proud of it.

We take much interest in this Aoys-
