S Steamer Condor
SR:-Recently information has
reached this legation that a civil war
has broken out j. the Argentine Re-
public, State of Entreris and is likely
soon 10 manifest itself in Corrlantls and
Santa Fee, and that an armed revolt
has arisen in Paraguay. As the thea
fre of this commotion is along the bor'
ders OF the Patana and Paraguay riv-
era, the undersigned gives it as his opin'
ion that as soon as the United States
Steamer Wasp is in condition itwould
be well that this ship should make q
trip as high as Asuncion, as provision
against any contingencies o! danger
that NAV arse to the persons
or property OF people OF the United
States, aud the vessel should show IT.
self in the Parapa and Paraguay. The
last Of June or the first OF July would
be sufficiently early for the veesel to
leave Montevideo, if she received no
orders sooner. She would need to be
absent from this port not exceeding
five or six weeks" JNo l. STEVENS.
The following report from command
er Moban, OF the Wasp, dated: OH
Montevideo, June II, and addressed TO
admiral Taylor, commanding the naval
forces on the South Atlantic Station:
The revolution still continues with
out any incidents ofimportance. The re-
ported capture OF Parana proves TO have
bsen false. The Argentine minister,
Seva Garseni, vas in that city, and his
published reports show no decisive
lighting. 1t is said that Jourdon
has ordered all persons ranging between
fifteen and seventy years OF age 70 De
enrolled. The estates Of those who do
not report are 10 be confscsted. The
journals intimate that $4,000 men are
in arms on one side or the other. The
English squadron, consisting OF the
Plades and Dart, are in port. The
Rocket has sailed for home. The
French gunboat Frique was here a day
or two but has gone up the river. The
heqlla of the fleet is good. That OF the
OfHrers snd crew of the Wasp is also
gooi."

Yankee School Ma'ams.at Discount
1t will be remembered that not many
| months ago quite tiuor was raised
among New England school-msrms BY
the prospect Of going to Japan and
getting large salaries for teaching the
youth of that far off Empire. A num-
Der of them succeeded in getting Mr.
Cap-on, who had been engaged to
superintend the educational system o'
Japan, to take them along. These
were the envy OF their less fortunate
sisters, and since that time numbers o
INQUIRIES have been constantly address
ed here by New England school teach
ers wb bether they could not get employ
ment in Japan. The instruction o
Yankee educators does not, however
seem to have met with much success
in Japan. Perhaps they do not ap
preciate the peculiar New England
ideas. At any rate, it seems that tn
Government is derirous Of getting III
of it's foreign teachers. Intelligence
has lust been received that on the l9ti
O: June the Government issued an orde
that all foreign teachers must have
license, and the intention is understoo'
TO be to give DO license to those teach
ing the Christian riligion.
