ROSARIO July 49, 1863.
can give you but little news from this quarter.
Local disturbances may be exaggerated into rumors
of political troubles but sucn reports are ground
less. You will 1nd your South American exchanges
as sensational In political matters some OF your
New York contemporaries. The state of things IN The
Argentine Republic is rar from satisfactory;
nevertheless there seems to be 10 occa-
sion for apprehension OF serious difficulties.
Commercially the country is in o nourishng
condition, the Custom House receipts for June ex
ceeding those OF any previous month In the history
OF the republic. The receipts OF customs OF this port
are rapidly increasing, and the town OF Rosario Is
steadily advancing towards its destiny. which Is
that of the leading commercial port Of the Rio dc Ia
Plata and its tributaries.
Tie Central Argentine Railroad will soon resume
Its course towards its inland termnus-Cordera-
and when 1t reaches that point 1t will be happy
day for the interior provinces. The receipts OF this
road nave been trebied during the six months end
ing July compared with the six months previous.
This railroad Is boon to the republic, which the
people poorly appreciate as yet but they are gra-
duay opening their eyes to its advantages and IL Is
infusng fresh life among the people and Is rousIng
them from the dormant apathy which has heretofore
characterized the native population or the provinces.
The day which celebrates our American lndepen-

the love OF their country and the day We all venerae.
The recent election returns settle the question OF
President by the undoubted choice OF Sarmient0,
late Minister to the United States, who takes his
seat in October next. lie Is expected here by the
next French steamer from Rio Janeir0.
Letters from respected c0untryman, Colonel
Geo. Il. Church, inform OF his arrival at Cordeva
ana hs departure ere this for the upper provinces,
and thence for Bolivia and Peru. Al the termination
OF his interesting Journey careful an observer WIN
have gathered u volume OF valuable Information,
which l trust may adorn the columns or the
HERALD. The future OF this country Is destined
to engage the attention OF your readers more and
more as 1t IL developed by railroads inland steam
crs on its magnificent rivers and teegraphic CON-
munication 10 be completed hence to Cordova,
more than four hundred miles from the seaboard.
The government Is already constructing line OF
telegraphs from Buenos Ayres hitner, and Messrs.
Brassey, Wyther Wneelwright, contractors for the
Central Argentine Railroad are now constructing
line hence to Cordova. The value OF such means OF
communication in such q country as this Is ncalcul-
able aud VIII give al appreciable Impulse 10 business
with tue interior.
Rosario is soon TO be Illuminated with gas, which
Is but OF the many signs OF progress in this prom
isng and enterprising city whose growth anu iul-
provcDent are scarcely equalcd by any South Ameri
can port.
The number OF American vessels arriving at this
port during the last six months greater than that
OF the previous two years, and the customs receipts
are greater than they have been since the diercna
duties OF ten years ago. Tie Improvement then was
forced ana fictitious whereas It's present prosp
