enough to cause even Partisan revolu-

broken vessel containing small portion
of the dark eolored liquid and began to

his appearance looking after the public

an amicable arrangement of the 'onlleas-

soon returned to the scene of action, and
halted. A large number of men and boys
came trooping along and hating, to c
what was up. One good natured lady
marched TO the broken vessel and tasted

The Abandonment of Ameri.
cans in Paraguay.

1t is not possible 10 excuse Mr.. Wash
hurne for his abln ionmen, Of American
citizens, Officers of his esa lesa ion, To
the cruel mercics Of the barbarian Lopez
Mr.. Washburne's own letters are his
worst condemnation. For instance. in a
letter from Bueuos Ares, dated Oct. 18th
he writes
Lopez is made furious with disappoint
met, and conscious that his cause is lost !;
and rs his career has been but a series Of
intamles he now seems intent on Destroy
ing the witnesses and blotting out the rec
ard, lie as The greatest c5egrd erer

he let me go. When Capt, Kirkland of

he intended TO hold on to me- told hun that
if he dared to touch me our government
would have his head if it had 10 hunt him
through all Christendom. he then c0rctud-
ed 10 let me depart"
Now it must Occur to everybody bat Mr..
Washburnc, in reading this, that man of
only common sense of duty and honor,
finding threats So efficient, would have in
sisted upon The release also of the other
Americans. II a captain in shipwreck
should abondan his vessel AMI leave the
crew and passengers to perish, he would
be Justly, an object Of contempt and ex-
ecration; nothing would excuse him. But
that is just what Mr.. Washbarne has done.
Moreover the government of the Uni

~ value upon Mr.. Washburnc over other
citizens; to say that it would panish Is
peg for OBTAINING Washburnc, and then to
abandon Bliss and Masterman. was to
make an unfoundel aud absurd distinction

Bank Panic.

There is a money panic in New Bruins

cashier of the Commercial bank has alb
seconded owing that bank 500. 900. The
cane Scovill was the St. join agent of the
st. Stephens bank, and it there fore must

and after awhile it suspended for pru-
Dental rea sons. a sworn statement has
been published by the officer of the bank,

its liabilities. \ card is published, signed
by most OF the leading business men. doing
business on the St. Croix river. stating that
they have perfect confidence in the sound
ness of the bank. and are willing TO take
its bills in all business transactions.
The -. Croix Courier. Published at ST.
Stephens, from which we gather these
facts, declares the panic in regard to this
bank, rs perfect folly" 1t further says:

there have been no losses be, ond those
