November 17, 1868.—T0 Hon. Gideon Welles,
Secretary of the Navy—Slß: A dispatch
• 'waif received yesterday from' Charles A.
Washburn, Esq., late U. S. Minister to
Paraguay. It was ieritten at Buenos Ayres
on the second of September last. ,The dis
. patch shows that a. controversy has been
carried on for some time between him and
• • - the ,President of Paraguay. The merits of
the controversy cannot be well understood
until a copy of the Correspondence shall have
been received, which is daily expected.
In the meantime Mr. Washburne's - dis

from Mr. Webb, United States Minister at
Rio, in which he States, that he requested
- Rear-Admiral Davis, commanding , the
South Atlantic squadron, to send 'or pro.
ceed,with an adettuate naval force to Asun
cion to protect! inerican citizens. Mr.NV ebb
is unable to inform the Department whether
Admiral Davis would assume the responsi
bilities of complying without special in
structions from this Government. The sit
. nation thus presented seems to be one so
critical that I have thought it my duty to
advise the President that• the Rear Admi
ral should be instructed to proceed with
an adequate force at once to Paraguay and
take such measures as may-be necessary to

CARD FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY COURTNEY.
District Attorney' Courtney publishes a
cud in reply to that of Ex-Judge Fuller,
ton, in whichhe says I am accused of insti
tuting the proceedings against him in self
defence. He would have the public believe
that I am myself in danger from .his at
attoks, and, thus *Grpcunningly inverts the
relations -we, mistain ,to each other. The
fact is beforeliir. Fujlerton took any steps,
against me, I had ascertained that an expos
ure of his conduct in the Smith matter -was
inevitable. He hoped by vigorous efforts
to 'secure my removal and thus ward off
the indictment which was threatening; fail
ing he trusted he might delude the pub
lic in the belief that the proseption against
him which was sure to follow, was
a desperate resort to whicn he had
driven me. It seas for the pur
pose that he' publishes his Card of
to-day. The public will remember bow
earnestly and how bitterly , with the aid
and encouragement of persons who were
under indictment in this district, Mr. Ful
lerton attacked me before the president, and
how loudly be clamored for my suspension
from office.. They will also remember how
ignominiously that attack failed. If they
wondered what could have been the mo
tives that actuated so , crafty, and learned
a - lawyer in investigating so impotent an
attack, their wonder must cease in view of
the disclosure now_Oidei of the facts which
have already 'been made public, and will
more fully appear at the trial showing
which of us has acted in self defense, and
to which may be properly ascribed the
leadership of the' whisky ring. '
Yours respectfully,
SAMUEL G. COURTNEY,
United States Atty.
CONSOLIDATION OF EXPRESS COMPANIES.
The lone pending negotiations in this
city resulted to-day in the consolidation of
the American and Merchants Union Ex
press Companies. ' The - articles of the As
sociation have been formally executed,
with the following Board of Directors:
Henry Wells; Elmore P. Ross, William G.
Fargo, Wm. C. Bisardley, Edward B. Jud
son. Wm. H. Seward, Jr., James C. Fargo,
John N. Knapp, Johnston Livingston Clin
ton K. Backus, James M. Thompson, Thos.
M. Pomeroy and Benjamin Cheeny., At an
election of officers held to=day the follow
ing were chasee: President, William G.
Fargo; Vice President, Theodore M.
Pomeroy; Treasurer,Elmore P. Ross;
Secretary, John N. Kn app; General Super
intendent and Assistant Treasurer, Jas. C.
Fargo. The new arrangement goes into
effect immediately, and the officers say
the business will be adjusted to the new
basis within the ensuing week. The Mer
chants Union stock is taken at two • shares
for one, making its por on of the capital
Of 000,11041: --Thereconao ooze pony will
have statist Capital nf 418,000,000, and will
continue the bo-operativearrangement with
the old companies. The new Company will
bear the title of the "American Merchants
Union Express' Company." - -.The • Commer
cial says the Adams press Company was
not represented at the meeting; that it is
opposed to the basis of amalgamation, and
that consequently a renewal of the express
war is by no means improbable.
RELAPSED INTO QI7IETUDE.
The Erie war has relatrand into quietude.
Jury Gould and James Fisk, Jr., are in pos
session of the office of the Erie Railroad,
but there is great reticence as to whether
they or the newly appointed receiver, Ex-
Jpdge Davies, are running the road. Bev
eraVDeputy Sheriffs were at the building
this afternoon, but no one .seemed able to
account for their - presence. Ex-Judge
Fullerton, Mr. Sheartnan, and one or two
others '.who are retained as counsel
for the Directors, were in close consultation
with Mernirs. Gould_ancr Fisk. The Joint

VERY LATEST FROM . sa
THE RIN RAILROAD.
The report is current, though the author
ity is not indisputable, that thelwo receiv
ers of the Erie road, Judge Davies and Jay
Gould, are pulling : harmoniously together,
and that there will probably be no more
litigation of an acrimonious. character.
THE RISE IN GOLD-+ITS CAUSE. •
. The Post'a money article says the rise in
gold at this time is chiefly the result of
speculative efforts, and it is said to be con
nected with a movement) in Government
bends. Some time slnne,extensive specu
lative sales were made of 6-20 s of 1862. The
amount of these bonds in this market-is
comparatively small, and-holdere pf thorn
have advanced the price I-about two - per
cent. above the London', quotatioa,--ex
change and the gold, premium being in
cluded in the calculation. jlt is reported to
be the intention of the ()pastors for" a de
cline to Cover their sales by importing
these particular bonds, which can now be
done with great profit. The scheme, how
ever, would be .defeated by an advance in
gold.

The Young Men's Christilm Association
closed their session last night. There was
a large. . attendance. The question, "Why
do so many churches fail.-to react the
poor?" was the subject of discussion. The
sense of the meeting on this subject was
summed up in the following resolutions,
offered by Rev. Mr. Morton:
Resolved; That so many churches failed
to reach the poor because the poor being
naturallyprond and , sensitive. on account
of their poverty, misunderstood the church,
and don't believe they are welcome even
where such- is the case, but mainly because
the pastors, officers and 'imbibers are too
selfish in the 'enjoyment 'of their 'religion,
have too little love for souls, toolittle con
tribution to the Master's work, too little of
that universal divine benevolence which is
the essential distinguished element of
Christianity, and the leavening principal
Which Is to fill the whole earth with the
knowledge and love of God. '
Resolved, Further, That this Convention
is deliberately and solemnly impressed
with the conviction that the only remedy
for tins evil is; first, to build plainer
etuirches, and invite the poor cordially to
them, proving the sincerity of the invitation,
and making it consistent by abolishing the
system of pew renting.- Second, to seek out
the poor, and carry the gospel - to them, and
pray with those who cannot be induced. -to
attend regular religious service and 'places
of religions worship, and lastly, for all pro
fessors of religion to consecrate their-time,
and influence and wealth more entirely to
the service of Christ in saving souls.
A colleetion was then taken up, which
amounted to over 12,000. After brief fare
well addresses the Convention adjourned.
The sessions of the Association have been
numerously attended, very harmonious,
and it is believed will be productive of
Much good.
About one hundred andtwenty-five ladies
of the city assembled at. the rooms of the
Young Men's Christian Association to-day,
and after listening to some remarks 'on
the subject by -H. Miller, Faq,, of Cin
cinnati, who had called them - together.
for that purpose, primary, steps were
taken to organize - a Woman's Christian
Association. A Committee was appointed
to dra ft a Constitution and ' by-laws, and
seventy-five ladies pledged themselves to
meet at the call of the ,Committee. There
is no doubt that an Association will be
r. formed and put in operation immediately.
