THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH TRIPLE SHEET PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY DECEMBER 18, 18GU. 'l'hf i:llnrtIon of a People. A correpondont of the Ijondon Spertttor, over tho ainaturo of "J. II. Jj.," writos an follows about affairs iu Paraguay: It in doubtful whether tho whole, annals of mankind present a inoro extraordinary tragedy than that which has boon acted oat in Para guay during tho last seven years. It Bland second, perhaps, only in horror to tho story of tho fall of Jerusalem before tho anna of Titos, though differing widely from thut in many of its features; in perhaps none more than this, that whereas in the latter caso tho extermination of tho conquered was forood by themselves on a victor who fain would have keen clement, in the latter thero soonis strong reason to believe that it was planned, though not avowed, by the conquerors from tho iirst. Thus Mr. Maisterman, who in his preface, in deed, implies that the 1'araguayunH were "a band of slaves, madly resisting tho very men who offer thorn freedom and independence," in his appendix quotes the opinion of "a gentleman recently returned from the Plato, who has had unusually good opportunities of forming a-correct judgment," that "tho war was intended, from the lirst, to bo one of utter extermination;" that it was "intention ally protracted, in tho hopo that the unfor tunate Paraguayans would dio from want and disease; and that Urazil intends to absorb all ahe has left of tho Republic." So Colonel Thompson has stated that tho liraxilians have purposely allowed many of their prisoners to go and join Lopez, "as they are determined not to leave a Paraguayan of any ago or sex alive," and that tho allies, "while profossing exti'cmo humanity, have, under tho cloak of civilized warfare, exterminated the Para guayan nation, and never oneo tried to get at l.ojicz, tho pretended object of their warfaro" tho latter assertion, indeed, being appa rently scarcely correct, since the Comte d'Eu took tho supremo military command. Nr do those statements stand without . in direct corroboration. Thoso who have followed the history of Pnro'juay know t lint its independence has always been an eyesore alike to Ura.ilians and Argentines, and that tho maintouanco of that independence primarily against the latter (whoe pretension was to claim Paraguay ns a mero member of their federation) was tho hinge on which the lifelong policy of Frnncia and the elder Lopez turned. Whilst tho text of tho secret tripartite treaty of l"(i", although binding the allies "to respect the indepondenco, sove reignty, and territorial integrity of tho Ko public of Paraguay," really aims at. its hope less dismombernient, by tearing oil' from it to tho north, for tho benefit of Jlva.il, tho ifrfxt inate districts, Paraguay's chief source of I'evonuo, as giving hor the practical monopoly of an arlitlo iu great request throughout full one-half of South Amr-iiea; after which the whole remainder of tho coilniry must sink almost necossarily into a province of tho Ar gentine Republic Now, tho world has seen ere tins lot Po land bear witnoss of the fact such things as a combination between threo neighboring powers, under pretexts the most hypocritical, for the physical or moral extermination of a fourth in their midst, and that extermination allowed to be carried out before tho eyes of civilized mankind without a linger boing fased to prevent it. The world has also seen, on tin? I)ftr'' f the nation so to be extermi nated let Poland again be , the instance resistance of iu$ most heroic, character, under chiefs whose gonirtS called forth by tho very omergonciuj in which iLey found them selves placed, nut vfnat the world has not . iseen is this a smut I peopla thus hemmed in -on all sides by neighbors immeasurably richer -than itself in men, money, physical resources -of all kinds, yet exhibiting such superior courage and endurance to that of its enemies, a heroism so undaunted that its resistance must have been successful, but for tho inca pacity, tho cowardice, tho selfishness, the cruelty of tho chief, whom yet it followed from first to last with absolutely unswerving faithfulness. Now that the records of tho war are before theworld.it is perfectly clear that nothing , that has been said, in the pnges of this jour- Dal or elsewhere, in favor of the moral powers of resistance of Paraguay has ever been ex aggerated. Tho c.e element that has not been taken into account lias been tho chance that all those powers might be utterly thrown away, from being wielded by a Francisco Lopez. Nothing is more marvellous than Colonel Thompson's account of tho slender resources opou which Paraguay entered upon the war. An army of about 80,000 men; perhaps 100. 000 homes in the whole conntry, "only half of which could gallop two or three miles;" much of the cavalry and almost all the in fantry armed with more flint-lock carbines and muskets; the greater part of the artillery consisting "of old honeycombed iron guns probably taken by ships for ballast and brought to Paraguay like the guns which do duty as posts on Woolwich Com mon;" the heavy artillery all smooth-bores, only a few rifled 12-poundors; a navy of seventeen steamers, all small, and all but two passenger vessels; drugs scarce from the be ginning. In tho course of the war the artillery was in great measure recruited at the cost of tho enemy, the Paraguayans, even on two occa sions when defeated, bringing often with them pieces of larger calibre than any they had, whilst among the guns manufactured by themselves out of all the church bells and copper saucepans in the country, two whole batteries were cast expressly to tit impounder rifle shells, "which the enemy sent over in pro fusion, and the greater part of which did uot burst;" and another lurgo gun to tit Whit worth'a 1 !0-pounder shot, "of which some thousands were collected." During tho whole war "Paraguay never received supplies of . any kind from abroad, except those taken in Matto tirosso ana uornentes. Wkat could not, however, be supplied from . the store of the enemy was men. This " want the Paraguayans could only meet by showing tuemseives a match for him at con stantly unequal odds. This they seem to have done invariably. In tho navul battle of the Itiachnelo above referred to seven armed merchant vessels, one (i-gun paddle ship made for warlike purposes, and six flat-bottomed boats, attacked the Brazilian fleot of nine tine war Btoamers, with "immeasurably superior guns, and would pronaoiy have taken it, "had they immediately gone alongside, in stead of running down past it." In tho flrst great action by land on the Uruguay, I'.'.OO ParacruaTans met 13,000 Orientals, and perished to within the last 200 or lioo, eear eel v a man accepting quarter, after having caused a loss to tho Allies in killed and wounded equivalent to their whole number; K0O0 more kept no, 000 at bay for months, and when they at last Bur rendered, only 6000 came out alive, the men "haying for some time had nothing but a ra tion of lump sugar. " Later on. when the two armies were encampod opposite to each other on the Tarana, parties of from 100 to 'JOO men would cross the river daily, "in full sight of the enemy, standing up to paddle their canoes land, and drive the enemy half a milo inland, fighting all the while, and go back after a few hours, taking their killed and wounded with them." On one such oc casion "400 Paraguayans wero absolutely fighting with 7l'IK of tho allied troops," to whom, after receiving a roinforcoraent, thoy caused a loss of UO ofucors and !)() men killod and wounded, losing only 170 thomsolvos. i It would bo positively tedious to attempt enu merating tho engagements in which tho Para guayans appear to have inflicted a loss on tho enemy at tho battle of Lomas Yalontinas, December, ImIH, in killed alone equal to tho total number of their own com batants. Put of what avail could this be, when, by the end of lSiili, "nearly 200,000 males had been drawn from a population of less than a million," and of this numbor scarcely 23,000 remained no less than 80,000 men having "perishod in tho hospitals from disease, or rather from bad and scanty food and want of tho commonest nocossarios of life," the rest through the other casualties of war ? -desertion, indeed, excluded, sinco, as Mr. Masternian tells us, "love of home and of country is a passion with thorn;'' and though Paraguayan prisoners were forced by the allies into a "Paragnayau legion," they took every opportunity of passing over to their countrymen, although certain of mooting only with contumely, punishment, and often death. Two years lator, at Loniai Yalontinas, tho l'.",0 X; of' IHltiwcre reduced to 1300, and without a wmglo gun mot MOO Brazilians, besides Argentine;, with 00 guns, and fought btill with their wonted detcnuination. Ue it observed Mint although often com pelled to exhibit tho horoisin only of despair, this was by no means the typo of Paraguayan courage. Those who speak of them as more Indians, and would confound their rcsistanco with tho stolid endurance of the North Ame rican red-skin, are wido as tho polos from tho truth. The late Charles Mansfield, in that work of his, the real revelation to Europe of this strange people, which has boon so un accountably passed under silence both by Colonel Thompson and Mr. Mastcrman, had fully appreciated tho intense vitality and vivacity of the Paraguayan character. Col ontl Ihompson relates how, "when a man was rolling a wheelbarrow, a percussion shell struck his high morion and burst ti it, singe ing his hair and driving some graius of pow der into his lorehcail, wit hout, hurting him. Tho moment it happened ho dropped Lis wheelbarrow, rushed after his morion and put it on again, and seizing tho barrow began wheeling it again with redoubled vigor, to the great delight of his companions, who sot up a yell of pleasure. on uuouiur occasion a 0-ponnder bhcll, unburst, which had boon placed under a cooking-pot, exploded ond sent the dinner of some cavalrymen flying, to tho "intense dolight of tho expectant diners As lateas lS7f, ' "the niorc their enemies the more tho Paraguayans would laugh. They used to play all sorts of pranks at nisht wit u the Brazilian guards, shooting at them with bows and arrows," and with bulls of oluy such as boys in Paraguay use to shoot parrots with. Their contempt tor the rrazUians scorns, indeed, to have been unboumieu till the last. Wo do not, of course, wish to deny thu existence ot darker sides in tho 1'araguavan character; the outrages which accompanied their first offensive operations; tho cruelties of which Mr. Masterman's book is full, and of which many (though clearly not all) made themselves tho far too willing instrunionts, But of outrage and cruelty they had in tho war bv no means tho monopoly: tho taint is one common to both the Spanish and Porta- mietfA races, and which blots many a ghastly psgo in the history whellior" of urn?1 or of the ftoutu American republics. Their wiiMi faults in these respects appear to have been those of their race or of their ruler, whilst observers such as Mr. Mastcrmnu, whose per sonal Bunenngs snoum aiways oe tauen into nccotmt in weighing his harshor judgments, canno'i help bearing testimony to "their unaffected kindness and charity to each other, when no sh.low of the government was upon them." So has perishod small people, in its fall at least never to bo fc?jcitoa'. It may be, as Mr. Masterman says, that "tho sturdy Ger man and the Anglo-Saxon will soon iill the void this war of extermination has made; permanent prosperity will banish all trace of its devastations." But that the noblest by far of all the South American peoples ohould have so perished, self -sacrificed to a third-rate tyrant like Francisco Lopez, will remain one of the darkest moral riddlos of history. It is idle to talk of tho Paraguayans as mere slaves, when they have shown so magnificently that thoy could fight and die like freemen. l'orelcn Items. A correspondent at Pesth, writing on the Wthof November, says: "The Insurrection in Dalmalia is bclnr watched with great interest by the Slavonians in Hungary, whose organs in the press openly express their sympathy with the Insurgents. A bitter feeling against the rule of the Magyars is very gcnttral anions; theso Slavonians, and their opposition to the Govern ment is greatly assisted by the aristocratic and clerical influences which are exerting themselves to laidermine the existing state of things. The fause of this discontent Is that tho Magyar, with all their boasted respect for chartered rights, do not scruple to violate thoso of tho nationalities under their rule. In Hungary all w ho do not belong to tho Magyar race are looked upon and treated us pariahs.' There maybe no danger in thus treating tb,o patient Germans iu Transylvania, but the impulsive Slavonic laces, which constitute tho great mass of the population ot tho kingdom, are quick to revenge an injury, and so greatly outnumber tho Magyars that if they united against the domi nant race there would soon bo an end to Magyar rule in Hungary. Moreover, there is great dis tress in the country owing to tho backwardness of agriculture and the ruinous condition of tho finances. The municipal budget ot the capital already tshows a deficit of a million and a half; all the new public undertakings have failed, and luive been bought up at nominal prices by Jews or (iermaus. Cross incompetency, iu a word, has been t-hown in all tho departments of Gov ernment since tho administration of Hungary was placed in tho hands ot the Magyars, and it has become evident that the present state of things caunot last much longer." The Invalids Jinsae publishes some further new from Taschkcnd. It days that the ambas sador of Kokband, Murza-Haklm-bcy, stopped iu that town on his way homo from St. Peters burg, and has married tho daughter of a Russian otlleer of artillery there. Tho son of the Ameer of Bokhara, who is a pretender to tho throne of that country, is now staying at Taschkcnd, to which place he lied aftc being defeated by his father's troops; Abder-Kaehnian, the son-in-law of the present ruler ol Cabool, Is also there. The latter has sect his uncle to Samarcand with a letter asking for permission to go to Kussiu aud become a Kussiau subject. This prince reports that Sary Khan, tho ruler of Kulaba, has ex pressed a desire to remain uuder Russian pro lection, and that he kas declared his readiness to assist Abdor-Kaehman in subduing Balkh. Tho eorrespendeut of the Invalids adds that a Jew named beckensohn has arrived at Tasehkeud, who says that he met an English physician named Leltner at Herat, that Mr. Lcitucr had just arrived from the countries newly conquered by the Russians, and that ho had taken part in tho battle of Saumead on tho side ot the liokbariaus. ' Wo have read or heard of collectors of all possible and Impossible objects. Phlegmatic Dutchmen have been kuown to pay fabulous sums for dubious tulips; china collectors will give uulicaid-ot prices for plutos aud baueor, which become a sourco of counUnt anxlelr to thorn; others, again, wfth a pationco worthy of a nobler preoccupation, have boon known to obtain an almost complete collection of postago- st amps, r.ut m. Ncslor-Koqneplan, tho author of "I'srisinc," etc., has hit upon a line of col lecting In which ho has certainly had no prede cessors, and In which, for a tlmo at loast, he need fear but few rivals. And thus ho may, we hope, obtain cheaply tho objects of his soareh. y. Koqucpian collects not tho manuscripts ol old plays, or tho wigs of great actors, or the rouge-pots of dead actresses, but simply warming-pans. In his apartment in tho boulevard Jlaiusnmnn he has devoted a gallery to the ex hibition of these utensils "de la vie intim." There you may see moro or less authentic warin- nir-pans of Diane do Poitiers.

A correspondent of tho Time of India. writing from Malwa on tho 15th of October, says that the Mawarcc exodus, which slackened somewhat during the rains, has now set in aain as strongly as ever, ami, judging from tho stream of people passing through, it would ap pear as If the whole population was bent on clearing out oi tho doomed land. The mortality amongst them continues very great; the roads are strewed with their bodies, aud In the towns of Mundisore, Jourah, and Kuttam the dead may 1)0 seen lying everywhere in tho public roads till the sweeper drags them away and buries them or throw s them into tho nearest nullah. A small sum is allowed by the native States for burving tho dead, but in many Instances It is appropri ated by the sepoys whoso duty it is to sco this done. The poor people experience no dilliculty in disposing of their children, tho vounir irirls being generally purchased by the Mahonieiians lor ttoir zenanas. I lie durbar authorities take charge of most of the orphans, who arc em ployed about their courts as slaves, a certain number being allotted to each rajah's family. I he natives of tho xsilo ba.-m must wait a little longer for those blessings of aiiuct;it.ioii and compulsory labor which Sir Samuel baker and the philanthropic. Khedive havo in stre lor them. A correspondent of tho J)aily AVmi.i re ports that fifteen large boats and six steamers, all intended for navigating the White Nile, and sent up in August last, have stuck at Walla Halfy, below tho second cataract. Further, Mr. Saninda's steel steamers havo been sent out iu such large sections as to bo unlit for carriage across the desert on the hacks of camels in the ordinary way. Forty gun carriages havo there fore had to "be provided for tho packages, and the two thousand camels already collected for this part of the expedition will have to be In creased by several hundreds. Tho track across the desert Is said to be so bad that the cavalca Ic must march in single file. The whole, caravan, it is fttli.-ulatcd. will bo more thau eight miles long. As a finishing touch to tha picture, the writer adds, "The natives here, too, arc treach erous and savage." The Russian papers continue to speak of the necessity of sending an expedition against Khiva: An article published In tho Moscow 11 turtle declares that Russia, "li; order to secure her commercial interests," cannot much longer postpone "placing Khiva in the same relations towards her as Bokhara and Kokhaud." At the same time the llazrtlc considers that tho con quest of the two latter countries would require too great a sacrifice on tho part ot Russia, and that all purposes would bo met equally well if she maintained her relations with them on the present footing. "Of late." It says, "a great change has become visible in the disposition of the Khanates of Central Asia. They fear no power so much as Afghanistan, especially since England has given her a subsidy; aud iu vi r, tho danger whtch thus threatcus themth" icat their hopes on Russia." JOrjlALITIES. . Mmnllpox In New York aurf llronklrn. Yesterday at the meeting of tho Now York Metro politan Board of Health, Dr. atone presented tlie lowing- preamble and resolatious, which were jidonted : TffiorVflS, DtlTlilg the present year the Metropolitan Sanitary District has been twice Invaded iy the smallpox in an epidemic form, and which disease has been traced to tlio Immigrants who have arrived at the port of New York, whereby the great cities of New York and Brooklyn have been exposed to much sickness and death, and the Board of Health has been put to much labor and expense In suppressing this disease, and preventing Us extension to the country at largo ;"' Hem)lveJ, That the Congress of tlte rotted States be informed of the great danger of smrtllpox Infec tion, which is duo totheeruigrant.s.and be rcftuested! incase any measures should be adopted for regu lating emigration, to require that every cin!raut, befure embarking for the I'nited States, shall present the commander of the vessel in which he proposes to take passage', a certificate of vaccination. ; Ititolred, That a copy this preamble and resolu tions, signed by the President, witli the seal of the Boardatiached.be sent to tho Secretary of State, Washington, with the request that he would lay the same before the appropriate committee. Operations Of llurftlars at Sing Sing. On Sunday, during' tho morning servico, a number of houses in 'Kills place, Sing Sing, were marked with numbers, both on the doors and gate-posts. On Monday houses in three different sections of tho town were also marked. On Tuesday three well known burglars were seeit about the depot, aud afterward strolling through th( town. On the same day a stranger, with dark complexion, curly hair, and heavy moustache, aud with a neat and valuable ring on one hand, went around Kills place ostensibly buying rags, old paper, etc. He called at the back doors, while a fellow pretending to be a Prussian, out of money, and wantiug work In any capacity about tho house or grounds, applied at tho front doors. The people suspect that hero are the preli minary operations of burglars who intern! to muke a raid In tho town. Door-marking was the forerunner of burglaries at Newburg, White Plains, and other places on the lines of railroads a shoit time ago. Koblilnc Mull Itacn. On Monday morning, tho Northport way train due at Hieksville at 744 A. M., left at that station several mail bags containing the mall matter from the post oillci s on tho Northcote branch, to go East by tlie regular mail train which arrives from New York at lu-iiUA. M. Tho Postmaster was not at the depot to receive tho mall, and when search was made for the bags they could not be found The mails on that branch are closed, as there is no route agent between Illcksville and Northport. It will be remembered that the Huntington mail bag was stolen from tlie same place some mouths ago under similar circum stances, and was afterwords fouud hut a short dis tance from the depot.
