FROM SOUTH AMERICA.-Nevs from South
America, via London and the Atlantic cable,
reports that the fortress of Humaita, so long
and obstinately defended by the Paragraphs,
had fallen into the hands Of the Allied forces,
but whether it was captured or deserted, is not
said. Reports from P raguayan sources, which
are not as late as those from Rio Janeiro, rep
resent that Humaita was as strong and well
manned as it ever had been, aud that there
were no prospects of its abandonment No in
dication is given from either account that Lopez
had sued for peace. The dispute between Gen.
Caxias the commander Of the Brazilian
forces, and Mr.. W ashburn, the United States
Washburn desired to 60 up the Parana river in

The DEMOCRATIC CoNvESTIoS.-It will be
seen by the notice published in this morn
ing's CRESCENT that the Democratic State
Convention viii meet this morning at III
o'clock, at the Olympic Theater. We have
reason to believe that the attendance will be
full, and that almost every parish in the State
viii be represented This fact shows the
deep interest taken by the people in the
movement, of which the assembling of this
body is so important part, and an awaken
ing sense of the necessity of prompt and en-
ergetic action to meet the extraordinary
issues which are forced on the State. The
convention will contain many men of expe-
rience and ability, and its deliberations, we
confidently trust, will tend to the advantage
and final triumph of the cause of Democracy
and free government.

When their meal time corae. they must stop
and be fed, whether they have performed
their accustomed task or not. In driving on
the highways let rail cars, omnbusses and
express vehicles leave you far IN the distance.
Let the inpetuous roadster disdain your de-
liberate pace. Let Jehu (Kng' *, 80 snt
a retinue Of whole to~ H,hip pass yon in
their imPetuos'ty. They lesSe he h'gh"ay
behind them. Let dark ard dreary night
come on before You reach our place Of des-
tination, but let not your horses be driven
beyond their natural gait.
