THE DAILY APPEAL H. if. J&ghels :::::::::::: Editor. Tacidaf Harpiagi Dec. 1, lh6S. THE PAKAGUAYAN DIFFICTJITY. These diplomatists are such sad schemers that one hardly knows what conclusion to come to with regard to their sayings and doings. Xo this Paraguay matter is a case in point. Utensibiy the Paraguayan Chief, Lopez, has been behaving fcadiy toward ilr. Washburn, our Minister. The case, as we understand it, is : Thai the Portu gese Minister and some others sought protection from violence upon the part cf Lopez, by placing themselves nnder the protection of our Minister's flag the Stars and Stripes ; and that while they were so refuged, Lopez seized them, spite of Washburn's protests. This would seem an nnwarrantable out rage and to call for quick retaliation upon Ibe part of Cncle Sara. Soir while we admire tLe chivalric pluck of Minister Webb and applaud his readi ness to resent any and ail insults that may be offered to the flag of the United fctates, we cannot f rget that he is Sec retary Seward's right hand man the 'eqnire who carries his armor, and, if needs be. fights bi3 battles for him. It might be that these shrewd ones have fixed things " so as to get op a bit of ft war breeze which should redound to the glory of Johnson's administration, aad give something of an heroic ting? to Mr. Seward's diplomacy. Indeed it wonld be nn immense affair if Seward, Johnson aud Chevalier Wtbb, with Washburn to help them out with their plans, should manage to get up n war that would demand Grant's presence in Sooth America acd cause the General to' undergo the chances cf bein;r killed oiTl'V aa Amazonian bullet from oue of Mis. Ly neb's petticoated troopers, or iaid law by an tfj'iatorial sun stroke We suppose, however, that these are mere " idle speculations " of ours ; and that the A.u ricaa tngle has, indeed, been sorely and grievously it.st.llei by the Paraguayan condor. With a good pretext for war with Lopez, such au enterprise would be by no means without the promise of being a good investment. Minister Webb, even if he is not seriing an intrigue of Seward's, is certainly politic in taking the part that he has assumed. lie i cor representative at the Imperial Court of Brazil. By taking the part which is assigned to him, he makes a close aily of tbe Brazilian Emperor, who is al ready very friendly to the United States, aad whose Empire is to South America what the Uuited States crc to the northern part of the continent. Some thing of employment fur our ironclads wouldn't be a very deplorable matter ; nnd if it be true, a alleged, that Senor Lopez has dared to insult our Minister and our flag by a violent and unwar rantable infraction of the laws aad usages of nations, the sooner Uncle Sam briDgs bitn to terms the better. Hurrah for " the next war I'' " Buook Farm." The Boston corres pondent of tbe Chicago Tribune gives tome crumbs from advanced sheet of " Passages from the American Note Book of Nathaniel Hawthorne," shortly to be published. We extract the fol lowing in relation to the author's ex perience at Brook Farm. It will be recollected by many that this was an association movement to organize joint stock community in Massachusetts during the year 1841. It was an expert ment to test tbe possibility of making such industrial, social and educational arrangements as would combine leisure for study with healthful and honest toil equaiize refinements, and apply the principles of fraternity to actual rela tions. Of his stay in that community, Hawthorne wrote the following quietly humorous description : I have not taken mv first lesson inasricnl ture, except that I went to see our cows fod. dered yesterday afternoon. We have eiijht of our own ; and the number is increased bv a transcendental heifer belonsnna to Miss Margaret Fuller. She is very fractious, I believe, ana apt to kick over the milk pail. I intend to convert mvself into a milkmaid this evening, but I pray heaven th.it Kipley may be moved to assign me the kindest cons in the herd, otherwise I shall perform my duty with fear and trembling. I like my brethren in affliction verv well : and, could you see us sitting round our table at meal times, before the great kitchen fire, vou would call it a cheerful sight. Mrs. B. is a most comfrrtub'e woman to behold. She looks as if her ample person were stutfed full of tenderness, indeed, as if she were all one. great, kind heart I did not milk the cows last night, because Kiplry was afraid to trust them to my hands, or me to their horns, I know not which. But this morning I have done wonders. Before breakfast I went out to the barn and bejran to chop hay fur the cattle, and with such "righteous vehemence," as liipley says, did I labor, that in the space of tin minutes I broke the machine. Then I brought wood and replenished the fires ; and riualiy went down to breakfast, and ate up a huie mound of buckwheat cakes. After breakfast, Kipley put a four-pronged instru ment into my hands, which he gave me t" understand was a pitchfork ; and he and Fariey bein:; armed with similar weapons, we all three commenced a gail.int attack up on a heap of manure. This otEce being con cluded, and I hating purified myself, I sit rionn to finish this letter. MUs Fuller's cow hooks the other co-.vs, and has made herself the ruler of the herd, and behaves in a very tyrannical manner. I shall make an excellent husbandman I feel the original Adam reviv'iig within me. I have milked a cow ! ! ! The herd has re belled against the usurpations of Miss Ful ler's heifer; and, whenever they are turned out of the barn, she is compelled to take refuge under our protection. So much dil she impede my labors, by keeping close to ine, that I found it nece.s.-ry to irive her t-.vo or three gentle pits with a shovel ; b-it still she preferred to trust herself to my ttnu-.r mercies raher than venture among the horns of the herd. She is not an amebic cow ; but sh? has a verv intelligent f.ice, and seems to ! be of a rtflfcave cast of character. I doiAt THE UNITED STATES DANGEROUS TO THE WORLD THE FRANK AND OUT SPOKEN KB- BOEBUCX- From the S. T. Chronicle. ' An honest man," says Pope we think it is Pope " is the noblest work of God." The Right Honorable Mr. Roebuck seems to be an honest man ; at any rate be is a plain-spoken man. If hi says a brutal or foolish Ihicg he stands manfully up to it and refuses to explain it away. Jlr. Roebuck sturdily refuses to go back on his record or to eat his own words. For this we honor Mr. Roebuck. He boldly nnd plainly says what be means, and he says it in plain and undiplomatic language. On the 19th of October he addressed an assemblage of workmen at Sbtfh'eld and dniing the courseof bis address he was interrupted by a Mr. i.mot, who wanted to ask the right honorable gen tleman a question. Mr. ilruot wanted to know whether Mr. Roebuck did not, duriug the American conflict, " use his utmost endeavors to bring about war between England and the United States, in order to promote tbe slave holders rebellion. To this awkward question the distinguished M. P. prompt v and frankly replied : My belief is that the American penpl? bv and by, will be so numerous that they will be all-powerful among mankind. 1 have ever found I bes; vou to listen and think upon what I say I have ever found that persons of despotic powers that is, ot tin controlled power do not use that power as they oufiht to do. My object was to prevent he L nifd States from having that immense uncontrolled power, and 1 said : " Here is the opportunity : we can take it with perfect safety. No war would have followed. Here is an opportunity ; acknowledge these ates, ust as America acknowledged Hungary hen she was in rebellion against Austria ; we have the saction of American example ; acknowledge the existence of those States." he moment thac acknowledgement had come, away would have gone the blockade of the shores of America, there would have been an end to the American civil war, very much, I believe, to the benefit of the separate States themsehes ; and, if that had been done, I believe, that mankind would have received an immense benefit. There are some persons wedded to the j amenities who think that Mr. Roebuck was guil'y of a very grave breach I the amenities, and was lu fact shock ingly impolite in coarsely abusing the Uuited Staus at a public dinner to which he had been invited to meet Reverdy Johnson, tie American Minis ter to England. A cumber cf tbe Ea glisb journals have pone so far ns to charge Mr. li iCtnick with having be haved himself iu tbe most vulgar and bonri?h manner on that occasion. We do cot fei 1 called upon to undertake the de'en-e of the right honorable ctn- tleman on this inJictmcnt taanJ against him by his own countrymen, but we will venture to say that his " explana tion " in reply to the question of Mr. Wiimot is eminently frank and straight forward. I'.' tlo'Ji-iit that the ur.es- Pabdon. The Beeie River Reveille of the 24th, says that application for pardon is about to be made to the Board of Pardons, at Carson City, in the case of Win. M. Wat kins,, who killed John R. Huntsman, at Austin, in 1S&5, and who is now incarcerated in the State Prison under a sentence of twenty years for the crime. The application for pardon is made by J. S. Pitzer, his counsel. The Reveille says of this case : The penalty of twenty years imprisonment was deemed slight indeed for so enormous an offense. Watkins has not served three years of the twenty, and an application is to be made for his pardon. This leads one to think if revenge is sweet to a civilized man, its gratification is cheap in this State. W here the punishment of crime is absolutely cer tain, it may be restrained in a degree ; where it is not, law becomes a costly farce, which a sensible people should thrust from them. This appears to be shocking business. If the prisoner felt compuncion for the savage blow which put out the life of his brother man : if he felt that his penalty was slight, and was willing to endure its last hour ; it would go far to mitigate his atrocious crime.

A new light has ap peared in the trotting world a light that sheds additional lustre on the fame of Major Winfield as a stallion. Mountain Boy has a half brother, which, if all reports are true, is a marvel of speed. The horse is a bay, four yean old, sired by major tYiiiheld, and out of a mare now twenty-three years old. The mare was a fast roadster in her young days, finven at aiusuj, weif i ora, urea in jven tcckr, but pedigree unknown. She has i bloodiike look, acd all who have seen her pronounce her well bred. The four-year-old was bred by Mr. John J. Bogert, of Closter Station, Bergen county. New Jersey. He is a bay loj hands high, and a natural trotter. We are told that the first time he was ever speeded he made his mile in 3:10. Reports are current that he has trotted wonderfully fast, and in the last few weeks the value of the horse has steadily increased, the price set ou him being glO.OC'O. Ou Wednesday, October 14th, he trotted a race of mile heats ier the Secancus Race Course, with Mr. Lozier's excellent young stallion, by Hamble tonian. The day was rainy, and the track heavy, and yet, according to Captain Ryer son, of Petersen, he won th3 first heat in ISA and the second in 2:35. This time has b-en disputed, but we understand that Cap- llin rtyersoo voucues u correct. All agree. The Resilt is Massaciuskxts. The Boston correspondent of the Sacramento Union gives the following facts with rela tion to the late election in Massachusetts J. Q. Adams, the Democratic candidate for Governor, received somewhat over 60,000 votes a loss of nearly 10,000 from his vote of last year, for the entertainment of any ot tour readers who mav be specially inter ested in the political condition of this State, 1 give the latest hsures, which are based up on the returns of 321 towns : Grant's ma jority, 7-3,314 ; Chifiin's, 00,923. There are twelve towns to hear from, and their vote will make the majorities stand about 76,500 for Grant, and bo,0UJ for (Jlanm. 1 he Legis lature, as may be supposed, is overwhelm ingly Republican. The House stands 223 Republican to 17 Democrats most of the latter being elected from Boston. The Sen ate stands 33 Republican to 2 Democrats the latter being Alonzo M. Giles and Jien jamin Dean, both of Suffolk county. The Executive Councillors are all Republicans. Last year the Democrats had eight members of the Senate, and fifty-five of the House. The last sentence conveys concisely the re sult of our election. The Democracy, which, aided by the P. L. L. secret organization, last year made a quite formidable showing, this year, unaided, manifests its intrinsic weakness. stitu'eda peril to Europe and to Great liritain. lie thought that if this greut republic of the V.'e5t could be split into two liesine nations its power won! j be ncu'rahzed. He tbongut that our civil war tforded an opportunity of which the European Powers ought in common prudence avail themselves. The great republic was becoming too powerful, and as an Englishman be wanted to see it broken up into jarring and discordant fragments, affording an opening for E'iropean diplomacy, by its intrigues and machinations, to play off one section against the other. In this frank exposition of his yiews and policy, Mr. Roebuck simply expressed the thought of the goyerning classes of England. From a purely Euglish stand point his policy was a wise one. Thanks to Grant and tbe masses of the Amer ican people, who remained true to their patriotic instiocts, it proved futile. JOIixX E.

A correspon dent of an Eastern paper, writing from Washington, November 11th, says : The project for the Democratic Electors to cast their votes for General Grant is a masgut born of the fertile brain of certain seedy Democratic politicians in this city, who are wonderine what in the does will be come of them under an honest Administra tion. A party of them were discussing the matter at Willard's dinner table yesterday, and consoled themselves with the idea that if carried out it would secure for them a chance for office. " Cut what will become of under the present administration ?" queried one of them. We've gnt to be cared for in the meantime, somehow." Oh ! the present Administration is a dead con cern," replied the other, " and we had better leave it before it is too late." Thought it pakt or the Pkocbammf.

The railroad ofheia's, as soon as possible, hast ened after it, doubtless expecting to nnd the occupants dead or fatally wounded. After considerable difficulty they succeeded in opening a door, and discovered a native of the Emerald Isle leaning up against the casing. With unmistakable signs of agita tion he addressed one of them as follows : " Can I come out now, sir ?" evidently under tbe impression that the rolling over and over was part of the programme. He was speedily extricated, and ran awar from the scene as though a bheruf was in pursuit. Tui'LT a Pioneer. Not a few citizens of Carson who were former residents of Marysvillc, California, will read with inter est the following notice of an old friend. It is from the Sacramento Record : Yesterday we much pleased to meet Gid eon R. Nightingill at present Marshal of the city of Marysvilte.

In Oct. 1845 he arrived in Oregon city, Oregon ; soon after his arrival he set up the type anu pulled the first im pression of the Oregon Spectator, the first American newspaper issued upon the Pa cific coast which was owned by George Ab- ernethv, the nr..t American Goveiiior of Oregon. George Abernethy had shipped by the vessel Toulon, from New York, a Hoe's press, type, six kegs of ink and other ma terial necessary for the publication of a newspaper.
