A MAN OF PEACE.


Ny friends, the time is now come to
consider the condition OF affairs, Had
nv advice been followed at the COM
mencsment Of the war, 1t would have
been better. War is not the natural ele-
ment Of my life. 1 desire peace, and a
peaceful contest, within the Union and
under the Constitution. Thank God, my
march has not been through GOlgoths !;
my hOnOrs have not been gained by
blood the widows and the One-armed
soldiers cannot attribute their wrongs to
me. stand here to-day vindiceting the
Constitution as it was handed down to
me, and here, in the last hours OF my
life, 1 call upon you all to cling to the
Constitution of the country as the mari
ner clings to his compass.
Let me tell you here to-day, that
wCuld rather be in your midst to-day,
privileged to advocate the principles OF
the Constitution, than to be inaugurated
President. I would rather wear the
honest dust OF peaceful toll than the
giIded shoulder straps or the sword, GRIM
soned in a brothers. blood, dangling at
nv eide. Yes; prefer the peaceful
badges OF a citizsn to the insignia of
bloody ard relentless war. l had rather
be in your midst to unfuFl the banner OF
peace and fssten il below the cross, with
the inscription, "GOd first, and my coun-
try nextn Ny confidence is uOsltered,
that the people will be true to themselves,
reason will be restored, and We shall
agsin have cur old form of government.
Fellow citizsBs, in parting from you,
let me thank you fJE your cordial recep-
ton and for the attention yOu have paid.
Hoping that you may live-we that are
older and whose heads are gray, must
soon pass awsy-let me urge you to come
up and understand the Constitution. The
soul of liberty is the Constitution, and
without the Constitution there Is no lib
erty.
Ia parting from you, let me invoke the
protection OF Almighty God upon you,
and with the hope that peace may bs re-
stored, leave you.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Johnson's
speech, which occupied some two hours
ip its delivery, he was heartily applauded,
and on retiring from the stand was at
once surrounded by a host of his old
friends, anxious to grasp him by the
hani and testify to their joy &C weicom-
i.g him home. Among the crowd were
heard on every side such remarks az
these. That's the same old Andy, God
bless him" " Andy's head is level
"He knows what be is talking about"

terdsy show that Andrew johnson has
lost none of his old hold upon the affec'

lines, the Argentines at the head; the few
Paraguayans who were left made desperate
resistance, and fought individually against
whole battalions, till they were cut down
The artillery was all dismounted, and two or
three guns had been still firing, where they
lay on the ground, propped up by heaps of
earth. Such of the wounded Paraguayans as
were able and some two or three hundred
sound ones, betook them TO the woods in the
rear of Lopez's house, and were soon sur
rounded Oy the enemy, and in more or less
time all were made prisoners. Lopez himself
had started off alone for Cerro Leon, with one
or two companions, the moment he saw that
the Allies were marching in, 10y a road he had
lately made through the woods.

All Lopezs baggage was taken, his car

The Future.
Lopez resources at tho beginning of the
year 1869 consisted Of six thousand wounded
men in hospital in the Cordillera, which is a
low range of hills, forty or fifty miles from
Asuncion, and six from the line of railway
He had about twelve small field-pieces, no
muskets, and no ammunition, and five small
steamers which he had taken into the Rio de
NIanduvira. The Brazilians have purposely
allowed many of their prisoners to go and
join him, as they are determined not to leave
Paraguayan of any age or sex alive; and
when Lopez has got together as many men as
it is possible for him to collect, they will fight
again, and then again give him time to get up
another poor force.

Admiral Davis Omtwitted.


On December 3 the United States ship Wasp
again made her appearance, carrying an Ad-
mirals and a Minister'S flag. The new minis
ter was General Mcmahon, sent to replace
Mr.. Washburn, whom he had met at Rio
Janeiro. As Mr.. Washburn had been sub
iected to some indignities on leaving Para
guay-especially in having two members of
his legation forcibly taken from him while on
his way to embark thrown into irons and sent
to the army to be iudged-it was determined
that Admiral Davis should gowlth squadron
of war vessels, and demand the surrender OF
these prisoners. and that, until they were
given up, General McNIahOn should not land.
The morning the Wasp arrived, Captain MIX

arranged that Lopez should meet the Adml-
raj the same evening at Agostura. Inc meet

THE MONROE DOCTRINE A PRACTICAL Sue
CESs.-Recent news from South and Central
America bringEus inteui yence of two i'm portant
contracts having been concluded-oue with
Caleb Cushing, on the part of the Government
OF the United States and the Colombian Gov
eminent, for tho construction of ship canal
across the Isthmus or Darien; and the other on
the part OF General Vickers and Captain Alex.
Hay, both of this city. and Mr.. Reilly OF Lam
caster, for the construction OF railroad from
the Bay OF Nlcoye, on the Pacific to the port OF
Limon, on the Atlantic, across the territory of
Costa Rica This contract Is q largo one as we'll

the Government of Costa Rca Is in amount,

600 more OF stocA-guarsnteed by the Govern
ment of Costa Rica-on which they pay per

York. This road will be serious rival to the Pa.
mama Road. twill consume all OF the Central
American trade-which amounts to about
seven-tenths OF the trade over the Panama
route-besideG great portion OF the California
travel and trade. We are glad to see Yankee
energyIRnd enterprise turning It's attention to
those countries. With the completion of the
Union Pacific Railroad most of the trade of
South America will come into our possession,
instead OF going to Europe. and those countries'
under American influence and protection, will

well as friend to us when occasion requires 1t.
SO we say godspeed the Ship Canal and the
Costa Rica Railroad Company.
In connection with the above we give the
following from the Gaceta O6ictaI of Costa
Rlce:-
"a contract has been celebrated between the
President of the Republic and MessTs. Edward
Reilly, Alexander Hay, William H. Mccartney
and David Vickers, citizens of the United

railroad from Limon Bay 10 the Gulf of n Icoya

OF SlOO each. Work is TO commence within three
months from the date of the ratification of the
con tract by Congress, The first thirty miles of
the road to be comple ed eighteen months from
the cate of said ratification, and the remainder
in five years; bond for s5O0OO is to be deposited
by the company, whtcn shall be declared for
felted II the stipuatiops OF this contract are not

enteIprise, will Issue bonds payable forty years
after the completion of the road, in United

eight per cent. The Government may purch ase
the road In forty years on paying to the COM
psny its value, fixed by arbitrators."

allied himself with the enemies OF freedom
the treason plotting Shareholders Of the soutn'
and the men who desired 70 overtime" the
great free republic that had given him pro,
tection. This was not q mere mistake VI
Judgment, as Mitohel's whole course outins
the war and since its CLOSE has clearly inoi-
oated. but Il proved that his professions oil
love for Ireland were mere blatant demago-
oman: that he had no disinterested admiration
for free government, but that all his sympa-
thies were for mere reasonable agitation. Ii
tbs Enolish rule in Ireland had been all that
was lust and right for securing the prosperity
and happiness of the people, John Mitchell
would still have been found in opposition to
the side of law and order.
When the rebellion OF 1850 broke out Nit.
ohel found himself arrsyed in arms against
Mesgher, 0'Brien, and all the men who had
been his companions in the attempt for Irish
freedom ia 1S49. These men, true to their
instincts as patriots, and remembering their
debt of gratitude to the American Govern
ment and the American people, offered their
lives in the service of freedom, while Mitchell
figured at Richmond as the chosen friend OF
JEFF. Davis and such choice specimens of
Southern chivalry as the Pollards.
Since the close of the Rebellion, Mitchell
has shown himself as implaosble in his en-
nifty to the loyal portion of the American
people as he ever was Like others of similar
character, this man has been allowed to escape
the penalties Of his treason, and now it would
seem that good taste at least would suggest
the propriety OF his withdraW wing from the
public gaze; but obscurity is more than death
with such as Mitchell, and he must have his
name mentioned in the papers at all hazards.
Tomorrow evening Mr.. Mitchell will deliver a
lecture at Concert Hall, ostensibly for the benefit
Of the Celtic Library fund, and for his subject he
will take the question, "Who are the Celts ?"
Is John Mitchell competent to decide this ques-
tion Is he Celt himselfG Every quality
OF truth, honor, patriotism, fidelity, and love
Of freedom, which we have been taught to be-
lieve were essentially Celtic characteristics,
he has belied; and we desire to know what
his claims are TO being Celt
Mr.. Mitchell will appear tomorrow evening as
an unrepen$ant traitor to the Government and
people that sheltered and protected him, and
il is not likely that, under all the circum-
stances, he will be honored by the attendance
of any but those who are of his own way of
thinking. Are there enough disloyal Celts in
Philadelphia to N axe su audience for the
Rebel editor OF the Richmond Enquirer?

John Mitchell the CeIt.

JoaE MlroHEL has appeared before the public
in various capacities, and by hook or by crook
he has contrived that the world shall not forget
his existence. Notoriety with some men is
better than fame, and, as the shortest way to
gain notoriety, Mitchell began life by assuming
the role of patriot, and with number of hot
headed and hot hearted young Irishmen-men
whose subsequent careers have proved the
purity of their motives-he undertook the
liberation of Ireland. With Meagher and
others he was convicted OF treason and exiled
to Van Diemen's Land, from whence he made
his escape tothe United States, and still play
ing the part Of an Irish patriot he won for
himself the sympathies and regards OF the
people Of this country.
