for mirthful enjoyment rather than
sorrowful reflections, for gladness
rather than sadness, for exaltation

SOUTH AMERICA.

PANAMA, Aug. 6.-The Peruvians appear dis
posed to take the offensive in the war with
Chill, having satisfied themselves OF the great
er speed of their few ships, insignificant in
numbers and strength as compared with then
enemies. In the last raid of the Huascar, the
CHILEAN Admiral, unable to catch his fleet an,
tagonist returned to Iquique and bombarded
the town. The moment the news OF the affair
at Iquique arrived orders were given to the
Huascar, Union and Pilcomayo to go south and
retaliate as far as possible on the undefended
parts of Chill. This they did, cleverly avoid
ing the whole Gillian fleet which was foollshly
concentrated at Iquique. They visited Toca-
pilla, Antofogasta, Coldera, Chaueral and vari-
Gus other inferior parts, and destroyed the
launches in each. They captured the splendid
Chilian transport Rimac which was conveying
to Antofogasta battalion of cavalry consist
ing of 400 men and officers, with all their arms,
horses and equipments. Three sailing vessels
laden with coal and copper were also captured.
The loss to Chill will be over a million dollars
The people are exasperated at the course OF the
war, and the most savage censure is visited ON
the government by the press for their inactivi-
ty, Incidence and stupididity. Calama has
been evacuated by the Chilians and all their
forces have been concentrated at Antofogasta,
preparing for descent on the Peruvian coast,
probably where it is least expected. The Bo-
1ivian troops are thought to be in Calama by
this time, but not in force, and those which are
there are removed 600 miles from their source
of supplies. They will probably either be
starved out or surrender. Business at Para
and on the whole coast is utterly demoraized.

JOINT DISCUSSION AT BALD
WIN.
The Republicans Score Their Points.
Especial Despatch to the Press.


Especial Despatch to the Press.l
BALDWIN, Aug. 1.-THE Republicans of
Baldwin had large and enthusiastic rally at
West Baldwin last evening, and were ad-
dressed in an able manner by A. g. Bradstreet,
ESQ.
Mr.. Bradstreet spoke for three quarters of an
hour, holding the close attention of his audi
ence, and by his clear presentation of figures,
and his logical argument, proved most conclu-
sively on how slender a basis the Greenback
theory rests. By arrangement the Greenback-
ers were allowed an equal time for reply, and
for this purpose brought forward Mr.. Robin
inson, hailing from Detroit Mich. Mr.. Rob-
inson began by saying that he came entirely
unprepared, and that he regretted he could
cite no authority, but that he would convince
any one of his hearers that he was correct in
his statistics if they would call on him in the
morning, as he had unfortunately left all his
arguments in his satchel at the house. He
then launched into scurrilous harangue
against Mr.. Bradstreet, Senator Blaine, Secre-
tary Sherman, and the Republican party in
general Mr.. Bradstreet he characterized as a
professor, and blatherskite: Blaine a fool, a
lldr, dilu u lulcl JOIN DuoIuidu d tulh Ooot1 ~
demagogue, a cut-throat, and made use OF
other epithets too indecent to repeat. Not
even the honored name of our great Fessenden
escaped this fellows low abuse; while as for
the Republican party he declared greenback
shaken under the nose of each one would cause
them all to sell their votes.
Washington city was compared to Paris in
the days of Louis XIV, and he declared that no
Republican statesman lived without his mis-
tress. AT this point his remarks became so
disgusting that strong objections were made to
his proceeding further; however he was al
lowed to go on which he did in a much more
moderate tone. After using up twice the time
allotted to him this gentleman ~ sat down.
Hon. John P. Swasey of Oxford county being
noticed in the audience was loudly called for,
and in few well directed remarks covered
the blatant Greenbacker with merited ridicule.
AS soon as Mr.. Swasey finished Mr.. Robinson
jumped up and began to eulogize his Demo-
cratic allies, on account of their loyalty to the
Union during the war, and comparing their
patriotic course to the hellishness of the
Republican party. The audience more than
disguised began to leave, and the speaker was
forced to stop.
Much enthusiasm was manifested by the
Republicans. Respectable Democrats and
Greenbackers were generally disgustedwithMr.
Robinson's vulgar tricks, and after the meet
ing more than one Republican Greenbacker
declared he had enough of such bosh and that
he should come back to his old faith.
Scion Chase and ''them stsers'' have been
here once during the present campaign, and
having turned several Greenbackers over to
the Republicans. A leading Republican offers
to pay his expenses if he will speak again in
this town. We intend to give good report Of
ourselves next September for Corporal Davis
and honest money

cent. reduction, making a reduction of 2
per cent. since the commencement of the de,

Commodore Shufeldt's African Expedi'
ton.
WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-Corfimodoce Shu-
feldt announces the arrival of the Ticonderoga
at St. Paul de Loango, June Sd, and says his
ship is the first American. war vessel to have
entered the Congo. He recites his experience
es with Gle natives on the south bank who he
says agree to observe their treaty obligations
made with the EnglisIr8 commodore in 1876.
In spite of their promises, however, these peo-
pie who are piratical violate all their obliga-
tions. At Banana the Dutch are in possession,
having large factions employing 20 or 80 Eu-
ropeans and several hundred negroes. Com
modore Shufeldt regards the "opening up of
Africa" as mere delusion and says the ma
tives ON the lower Cougo. who have been in
contact with the whites for nearly 400 years,
have only learned the lowest vices of civiliza-
ton. The appointment of consuls along the
coast by our government is recommended.
