The trade of the United States with
South American states bordering OIL the
Atlantic requires prompt consideration.
1t is stated that 1.-THE trade from Brazil
to the United States is only about one
third of What could be secured by proper
means. The Argentine republic exports
are worth SlO6,0O0 900 annually The
city of New Orleans could supply four
fitthS of the return commerce, for we have
exactly what is needed there, and the
things which comprise the bulk of the
imports. And yet the Argentine trade
goes to Belgium, Spain, France and Eng
land. Of the SlO6, 200, 600 foreign COM
merce, the total receipts by American
cities are S6GOO,0OO while Belgium re-
ceived last year Sl8,OO0,OOO The states
of Colombia have always had large Amer
lean interests. The Panama railroad cuts
them, and the great carrying trade across
the isthmus has made the fortune of many
a steamship company. In spite Of all
these things, other nations have usually
beaten us in securing the local trade Of
Colombia. The exports Of this state We're
Sl7 100000 last year, and $4,000, 600
came to the United States We do Il little
better with Mexico. Last year the eX-
ports from that country were 500, 600, 900
OF this Sl7 ,0OO, 900 came to America"
Evidently here are questions of sutti-
Gent Importance to command the atten-
ton OF all men who make politics study
and profession. "Htherto, it seems"
says the New Orleans Times, congress
has neglected to inaugurate any measure
looking to the proper commercial policy
toward our Central and South American
neighbors. 1t will be positive benefit
if some southern congressman will take it
into his head next session to look into this
matter. 1t is necessary that he do more
than read Il speech to an inattentiye
house Let him devise some means to
improve our commercial relations with
these countries. Some new commercial
treaties may be required. Let these be
made. In fact, there should be some at
tempt made to sell our own goods and
buy theirs. and this ought to be managed
in the same manner that a live business
man would take to extend his trade

Paris green having been prescribed as
a death-trap for potato bugs, a Massa
chusetts savant warns people that parti-
cles of the poison may adhere to the po-
tatocs when they are dug up, and work
as much harm to the people who eat the
potatoes as it is intended to work to the
insects that devour the plants. This
warning has drawn out the scientists of
the New York board of health, and they
declare that the Massachusetts man is
unnecessarily alarmed about danger
that doesn't exist. They say that Paris
green cannot lmpregnate potatoes, which
are always washed clean before they are
eaten, but that care should be taken that
the poison is not carried by the wind on
to other plants, as it would impregnate
lettuce or other vegetables which are
eaten raw.
The burning Of the venerable old Man
sion House, in Augusta, destroys u hos
telry that has a history. 1t has been a
famous resort in years past for politicians,
officials, spectators, travellers, famous
lawyers, wise legislators, shrewd lobby
lists, the witty and wise, fair women and
brave men. Most of these, we sadly re-
fleet, have passed away A sketch Of the
famous old tavern, and its famous guests
ought to be written. Cannot Howard
Owen, of the Kennebec Journal tell us
something about them?

A correspondent at Casc Nuova gives the fol

After making his dispositions with great care.
and selzlng several important positions i'll front of
krygstaz, and at the immediate entrance of the
Duga Pass. Sulenan Pacha advanced with several
battaliOns and mountain artillery to force dee
held by the Montenegrns. There being only one
available road and that leading directly through
the Duga Pass, the Turks sought by dint of sheer
fighting to seize the bends of the road so as to
place their guns i'll position to support the ad
vance of the head of the column. The ground
was favorable for this plan of operations. For the
first two days the Montenegrins slowly retired be
fore the well dcployed Turkish line. until the mar
rowing Of the ground and the increasing ditllcul-
ties of the road forced the Turks to reduce their
front Then the concentrated fire of the Mon
tenegrins, delivered from every rock and gully OF
the rugged mountain slopes, began to tell with
trghttul effect on the Turks Amid perfect hail
storm of bullets the Turkish infantry struggled
onward, encumbering the road with dead and
wounded at every step. The guns posted before
Cola shelled the detle in advance, but with little
effect, as the MOntenegrlnS were well covered and
suffered only when the Turks desperately charged
on them amid the rocks and brushwood. The
fighting on the third day almost hand to hand.
the combatants firing i'll each others faces at few
yards distance; but although the Turks gained
ground slowly it at terrible cost in men.
Their superior numbers enabled them to push up
supports to take the place of the slain and it
seemed as if the head of the Turkish column of
attack was melting away as before Il furnace.
Notwithstanding the stubborn bravery of Sll-
lleman Pachas troops, the fourth days fighting
found them no nearer the key of the pass and they
had already lost nearly 1000 men. Still they en-
deavored to maintain possession of the ground they
had gained at such fearful cost; that effort was
hopeless. The hardy Montenesrins repused every
attempt to advance, and it became now only a
question of covering the retreat of the exhausted
column This was commenced by furious onslaught
on the Montenegrns by the troops furthest in adj
vance, but which was quickly repulsed by muir
dcrous fire The retreat now became general and
the victorious mountainecrs speedily followed the
retreatng Turks killing immense numbers and
reoccupying their old position
In this prolonged and bloody combat lasting
five days the Turks lost over 1000 men and a
quantity of arms left on the field. The victorious
Montenegrins lost 200 men. This disproportion in
casualties is due wholly to the natural strength OF
the position and to the necessary exposure of the
Turks during the attack and retreat

Sp<cidf r*pasch TO The Is1btne.
NEW York, Aug. 1850 T. m.-The CORE
spondent Of the Daily Nesos, who Is high In fa-
vor with the Russian military authorities, states
IN bis paper to-day that the reiuforeemenrs for
the Russian army will require more time to
reach the front than was at first sun
posed, and that consequently it will be impossi-
Die to conclude the war during the present
year. Great battles will be fought, he says, but
only north Of the Balkan Mountains. The hone
entertained by the Russians OF being able to ad-
vance On Aarianople at ouce has been nos,-
poned, and the aim of the Russian Generals now
IS to sweep Bulgaria, north Of the Balkans,
clear Of the Turkish armies. The passes of the
Balkans are to be
HELD At ALL HAZARDS,
Strong position being taken up for this pur-
pose at hasan1ik. The necessity for thus re-
stricting operations south Of the Balkans
arises from the serious aspect OF af-
airs north Of that range. The Rus
sian armies there are unable to move.
and must wait for refnforceaents,- 900 men
are now on tue way to the scene Of operations
In accordance with this view, the blow which the
Russians intended to give Osman .Pasha's army
cannot be struck, bccausetroops are not available
III sufficient numbers. Tie right flank of
the Russian army is sufficiently protected, but
the means for renewed offensive operations are
utterly inadequate.
The Nescs correspondent gives specific reasons
why the Russians are not in d position to strike
at the forces Of Eyoub Pasha and Mehemct All
Pasha* At best they can only stand On the de-
fens1ye and hope for better luck.
