ALEXANDRIA.

The sympathy which has been felt in this
country for Lopez, the President of Paraguay,
in his struggle with Brazil, will be very mate
rally abated by knowledge of the facts stated
in the letters from Mr.. Washburn the late IT,.
8. Minister to Paraguay. Lopez has exceeded
himself of late in the cruelty Of his actions, and
if half be true that is reported OF him, he de-
serves and will receive the excavations of man
kind. But the conduct of the late u. s. Min
lister, while at Buenos Ayres, is severely eriti-
cised by the American residents there. He is
said to have shown want of nerve or spirit, and
to have left American citizens members of the
u. s. legation) in the hands Of the dictator,
without making the proper efforts to rescue
them. He, however, contends that he could
do nothing Gen. Mcmahon is the new
u. S. Minister, and will, probably, take imMe-
date steps for reparation of insults and injuries
Itthis reparation is not made, from the ac-
counts published, and the feeling that will be
excited, it is not at all improbable that we may
hear of an Expedition to Paraguay PRO
vided, in the meantime, Paraguay be not
smashed up" by Brazil.

a MIGHT or TERRoR-Last Monday eve
ming two able-bodied freedmen, well-known
in this community, had occasion to 20 into
Spring creek bottom a short distance south
east Of tliwn. While in the bottom they
were suddenly surrounded by back-wateF
from the creek which had become swollen
from the effects of the heavy rain that fell
Sunday night, and were unable to return to
point of safety After many attempts,
and after wading hither and thither, group
ing about in the darkness Of night, they
reached a point that was considered safe,
and concluded to await The dawn Of day be-
fore making any further efforts to reach high
land, which was only a few hundred yards
distant. The waters continued to rise at a
fearful rate aud soon covered the spot which
the luckless gentlemen of color occupied.
As the night grew darker the muddy, angry
waters increased, and continued to rise IN
til they were having the brawney shoulders
Of the seemingly doomed, who, at the top of
their voices, cried all the live-long night for
help. BY clingiDg to the branches of tree
they kept theif heads above water, and
early on Tuesday morning were released
from their perilous position by a party of
gentlemen who went to them in a small
boat. We learn that one of the darkies, on
being lifted from the water, remarked that
the spirit Of the storm was more
terrible than that Of the Ru KIux who fell
at Brittons Lane

HEAVY RAIN.-Last Wednesday evening
n terrific raia storm, accompanied by almost
Incessent thunder and forked lightning, visi-
ted this section and deluged the land with
water While the storm was at its hight
the black clouds suddenly parted and the
sun shown out in splendoF. Such storm
and such a scene was never witnessed by

all Of which are genuine. The following

mended by the ablest authors that is so GER

trary, they are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing you is to find out upon what

remedy which we know to be efficient, sim
ply because we may be ignorant of its com.
bination. For my part, l shall make it a
rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which may be able to
eommand-not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have
learned its effects first, and secured for him
self the right TO use that knowledge. How
ever. l am by no means an advocate or sup
porter of the thousands Of worthless nOstrums
