Our south American Relations.

W.sg.SGrox. August 26.-In the re-
port OF the South American commission,
prepared for Congress, on visit TO the
Argentine Republic. they say; More
than forty steamers monthly leave the
harbors OF Buenos Ayres for foreign
ports. laden with the products OF the
valley of River Platte, the largest COM
ronent of which is political DIVISION
known as the Argentine Republic.
There are. also, every month, hundreds
of sailing vessels from the same city,
having carcoes almost wholly destined |
To European pofts. Not one OF these
steamers fy the flag of our country.
Thirty wears ago our country enjoyed |
large and prosperous commerce with
Platte Valley, but since the advent OF
steam communication, and the erect OF
our civil war on our ocean marine, the
! flag of our nation IS rarely seen IN these
waters, and petty nations OF the
cid world are better known through
their national Nensign here than our
own, vet every American OF long resi-

United States OF South America. In
many respects the observation IS
founded on striking similarities. The area
of the Republic covers ], 200, 600 square
miles The northern limit lies under
the tropical skies. In the central
region there are vast plains, whlch
