: Nor DEAD YET.-Those terrific fire-eaters
who used to make so much noise in the Cal
houn style before the war are coming out as
fresh, as fierce, as contemplate and as impudent
as ever in view of the assembling here of the
Democratic Convention. These fellows saved
their lives very carefully in bombproofs dur
ing the war, and not one of the number is now
missing. They are all in the city, and all
writing savagely Southern letters to their
home admirers informing those people gen.
orally of their own consequence. As much
as few absolute asses can do towards making
the Democratic Convention offensive to the
country these fellows will do.

PARIS, June 20, 1858.
The regular mail steamer from Rio Janeiro has
arrived at Lisbon. The news from the hostile forces
on the Parana Is not important. The special CORES
pondent Of the Moniteur in Paraguay writes to that
journal that the allied forces after repeated
efforts have given up the task of at
tempting to carry Humaita by storm and now
propose to reduce the city by starving out the gar
son. The writer thinks that the prospects Of Para.
quay have materially frightened. The unity OF the
people OF all political opinions which has recently
been brought about in that country has given Pres
dent Lopez the resources to proong the war against
his powerful enemies Indefinitely.
