only
announcement
that the Shenandoah has been delivered
to the British naval authorities. After
visiting our whaling fleet, burning and
destroying millions of dollars
property belonging to.
she has arrived safely in the Mersey.
We are not at all disposed to pre-judge
the actions of Capt. Waddell in fact, if
not restrained by any other motive, we
think it plenty time enough to talk of
what the Government ought or ought
not to do when it is placed in a favorable
position for doing anything. Catching
certainly goes before hanging. There
are, however, some questions quite per
tinent . at present, especially when we
come to reflect that our relations with
Her Majesty’s Government are already
somewhat complicated. It-is hardly sup-
posable that the delivery of the vessel
can be construed to mean that those on
board will be held until some kind of in
vestigation can be made of the operations
of this latest token of English regard for
the United States. Our experience
would rather lead us to suppose that no
restriction was imposed, and that from
the commanding officer down they have
been feted and lionized by our kind
friends on the other side.
Capt. Waddell states that he received
the first information of the close of the
war on the 13th of August last. It is not
improbable that the authorities at Wash
ington will consider it of some impor
tance to know how much reliance is to be
be placed on this simple statement of the
Captain, and whether he, from that time,
ceased to conimit depredations on our
shipping. It is not reasonable to expect
that so interested a party could be safely
trusted to decide when his information
was sufficient to justify him in desisting
from his work of destruction. "Without
knowing anything of the personal charac*
, ter of Capt. Waddell, we may say there are
those-who believe this degree of sufficien
cy was not reached until the dangers of
capture were imminent. "What he might
choose to consider insufficient, or put
aside under a mask ol uirueuef, wtho,
more competent to judge might consider
conclusive. Indeed, by his own rep re
Mentation he might £>e held excusable,
and entitled to the same clemency grant
ed to others engaged in the rebellion,
when, by the decision of a proper tribu
nal, in the light of all the evidence, pro
and cun, he would be guilty of piracy and
well deserving the punishment which the
laws of the civilized world attaoh to such
a crime. We do not assert that he was
informed of the close of the war previous
to the time stated, but it has been cur
rently reported and pretty generally be
lieved that he was—and chose to disre
gard the fact.
Some of his men are said to have ac
knowledged as much in a conversation held
with some of the crew of a captured vessel.
It will not be difficult to arrive at the truth
and we hope, for the sake of justice, that
the affair will be fully and fairly investi
gated. ttome time since an English ves
sel was said to have gone in search of the
Shanandoah. If she found her in so short
a time and was the first to impart this in
formation, it argues either that our Naval
Officers, who have had a similar work in
hand, have been strangely remiss in the
performance of their daties t or that the
English vessel had a much better
knowledge of her movements. We en
tertain too high an opinion of our Navy
to believe the former, and cannot but ad
mit that, such being the case, there is
still another cause for suspicioning our
English cousins. If a proper showing of
the facts makes it clear that Capt. "Wad
dell and his men have;been guilty of any
serious crime, we cannot doubt but that
the British Government will deliver them
to the United States without a moment’s
hesitation. She would not dare do other
wise. Such a demand will not be made
without being warranted by the circum-'
BtanceB, and when it is made it will be
complied with.
Oramatie Reading.
Miss Carrie C. Lester, of Natchez,
Miss., gave a fine, intellectual and musi
cal entertainment to a small but select au
dience last evening, at St. Andrew’s Hall.
We regretted that so few were in' atten
dance to greet so line an elocutionist,
when the objects of the exhibition were
of such a charitable nature.
Lack of space and the lateness of the
hour prevents our giving a more extend
ed notice of the entertainment in this
issue.
■ At the close of the reading Miss Lester
thanked her auditors for their presence
and kind attention, and announced' that
if the Hall was not engaged on next
Monday evening, she would give another
reading for the benefit of the poor of our
city.

TheSan Salvador is an iron side-wheel
steamship, and was formerly rnn between
Boston and Baltimore, under the name
of the S. R. Spaulding,- on which route
she became one of the most- popular
boats. The San Salvador was built at
Wilmington, Delaware, in 1859, and is
the sister ship of the Benj. DeFord,mow
knowh as the San Jacinto, and which is
also to follow the San Salvador on the
Empire Line. The S*n Salvador is
971 1-2 tons; has 35 state.rooms, .70
berths, and accommodates from 100 io
150 passengers. Her engines and ma
chinery, which are really models
of mechanism, were built by
Harlan, Hollingsworth & Co., of Wil
mington, DeL, and consist of one low
pressure boiler 14 feet long by 18 feet
wide and 11 feet high ; one low pressure
engine; 56 inches diameter of cylinder
and 11 feet stroke. ', ,.
The San Salvador is amply p^pvided
with every modem improvement for the
safety and comfort of passengers. The
main saloon of the Steamer presents a
most cheerful and inviting appearance,
its extreme length (seventy-five feet)
and great* width giving an air of
roomy comfort that is seldom found
on board of ocean steamers. The
prevailing colors of the saloon are gold
and white, the sides being adorned with
neat pillars, crowned with gilt Corinthian
caps, giving a most pleasing effect to the
saloon. Glancing down the cabin, the
rich green velvet sofas that line the sides
almost tempt one to indulge in a luxuri
ant lounge, while the state-rooms are
odoriferous of purity and cleanliness,
with their white muslin curtains screen
ing each berth from view, From stem
to stem is comfort and cleanliness staring
the visitor at every comer. The main
saloon is also heated with steam, the pipes
being concealed beneath the tables. In
stead of cramped and uncouth sofas
surrounding the tables, each guest is en
titled to a spacious cane, seated chair
which grants each passenger ample el
bow room while indulging in gastra-
nomic pastime.
The passengers are loud in their
praise of the arrangement of the cu
linary department, which is good tidings
for anti-bilious travellers who never dis
agree with Neptune. Steward Roediker
is courteous, fully understands his duties,
and never hesitates to perform his share
towards increasing the pleasure of the
passengers.
Foremost and most important of all,
the San Salvador is officered by cornpe*
tent and experienced gentlemen, men
whom it can truly be said, without ful
some flattery, no finer or more skillful
seamen ever trod the decks of an Amer
ican steamer. Capt. Josh Atkins was al
ways popular both at sea and on land,
and his reputation has been honestly
earned. His skill, prudence and extreme
presence of mind, has been tested in pre
sence of hundreds of terrified witnesses
on more than one occasion, when the
angry tempests howled about his staunch
craft and made men with stout hearts
quail with fear, and deeply feel then-
puny efforts to combat the power of
1 ‘Him who holds the waters in the hollow
of His hand. ”
Every sea traveler understands the
great importance of a ship possessing a
competent and obliging Purser. In our
estimation a poor Purser is worse than a
gruff Captain. We need not hesitate to
endorse or eulogize the affable Dr. Ken-
nan. whom, we are glad to learn, occu
pies the position of Surgeon and Parser.
Dr. Kennan, as a physician, enjoys an
excellent reputation, and will prove to
be one of the most valuable acquisitions
to the line, his skill and courtesy per
mitting him to alleviate the distress of
the sick and add to the enjoyment of the
well and hearty.
In conclusion, we need hardly predict
success for the “Empire Line,” for with
the record of a 63 hours trip from dock
to dock the first voyage of the San Salva
dor, superb accommodations, gentleman
ly officers and a most courteous Agent in
Savannah, profit and popularity are al
ready inscribed upon the banners of the
Empire Lind Mr. B. H. Hardee, one of
our oldest and most estimable business
men, requires no encomium at our hands;
suffice it to say that his energy and zeal
will contribute greatly to the success of
the line. Mr. Hardee’s office is on Bay
street, Stoddard’s Range, where he and
his courteous clerks will always be found
ready to give all necessary information
relating to passage or freight.

Officers of the San Salvador *

".. [From Our Special Correspondent.J
New York, Nov. 18, 1865.
By the arrival of the Steamer Persia we have
European dates to the 4th ingt., which however >
does not contain {my items ot striking impor
tance. In London the British Ministry had not
been completed, and the United States Minister
there, Mr. Adams, is retiring from office, intend
ing to return • home, in the Spring of next year.
Spain has abolished the slave trade by a system
of gradual emancipation, l'he Fenian prisoners
in Ireland deny the jurisdiction of the law courts
there to bring them to trial, and the question
was at hearing before the Queen’s Bench. It was
discovered in London that the insurrection in
Jamaica was caused by the Negro Repnblic oi
Hayti. Cholera was on the decline in France and
Spain, and in England there was no reference to
it in the English papes. The latest advices from
India were to the 27th of October, at which date
the Cotton Market was reported quiet, and prices
declining. Tom Sayers, the pugilist, who fought
Heenan, was pronounced by his physicians to be
in a hopeless state of consumption. The London
money market was steady in all things; Consols
88 7-8 a 89; U. S. Securities firm, but not much
doing. Illinois Central 82. Erie 53 3-4 a 54.
U. S. 6 20’s 63 3-4 a 64 1-4. Paris Rentes 681
10c. The Liverpool cotton market was feverish
adWinsettied, which was attributed to the ad
vices received from New York, of increased
large supplies and lower rates. In Liverpool on
the 4th, prices ruled lor New Orleans 20 3-4 a 23,
Mobile and Texas 20 1-2, and Uplands 23 1-2 a
22 A-2. Sales large tor speculation and export.
On Wednesday the receipts were 3,782 bales,
and sales, chiefly Middling, 1,550. The de
mand was fair, but prices irregular, ranging
for Upland 33, 49, 51; Florida, 33, 50, 51;
Mobile, 34, 50, 52 ; New Orleans, 34, 51, 53.
Thursday an increase in the firmness of the
market was quite perceptible, and holders held
firmly for an advance, which, in a very slender
degree, was realized, particularly for New Or
leans Middling, which in many cases was held
stifly at 52, anil less would not be taken. The
Teceipts were 3,332, and the sales, chiefly for
shipment, 7,750 bales, and the rates current
were—Upland, 34, 50, 52,- Florida, 35,50, 52;
Mobile, 35, 51, 53 ; New Orleans, 36, 514, 54.
Yesterday the demand was fairly active, and
prices a trifle better, but toward the close the
animation subsided, and rates hardly so firm.
New Orleans Middling were held stifly at 53,
which, however, was not realized. The re
ceipts were 3,200 bales, and the sales 4,100, at
the following currencies : Upland, 35, 51, 53;
Florida, 36, 51, 53; Mobile, 36, 52, 54 ; New
Orleans and Texas, 37, 52, 54.
On Wednesday the stock market was dull
and unsteady. Gold opened at 147 1-8, rose
to 1-4, and closed at that figure. Thursday
the stock market opened dull, but improved,
and continued brisk to the close. Gold was
hardly steady, opening at 147 1-4, and closing
at 147. Yesterday, at the opening, the mar
ket appeared strong and closed heavy. Gov
ernment securities were a shade higher. Gold
steady—opening and closing at 147, with a
mid-day decline of 1-8. Nothing new to-day.
The eight o’clock traiajDn Wednesday morn
ing, from New York to Washington, met with
an accident at Newark by the negligence of
the man in charge of the switch, by which the
train, at great speed, flew off the line, sustain
ing great damage, injuring several passengers,
and unfortunately killing one man named Gor
don on the spot, and another died in the
course of the day.
The gallant General Grant is undergoing
quite an ovation in the Metropolitan Hotel.—
He is serenaded and waited upon by- deputa
tions, but he has not been moved, although
hotly pressed to pronounce a harangue. He
has consented to accept a festive entertainment
on Monday evening next in tho Fifth Avenue
Hotel, to which 2,000 of the elite of New York
city life have beeu invited. The affair, no
doubt, will he a brilliant re-union. Thursday
evening the gallant General attended Niblo’s
Theatre *o see Forrest in King Lear, and was
cheered to the echo.
As already stated, our neighbors over the
way are in a fearful state of alarm and trepida
tion, and whether they are most afraid of the
Fenians or an American invasion, they cannot
say. They are evidently in a military fever,
for the editor of a newspaper from his peaceful
desk cries aloud, and prints the ciy in gigantic
capitals, “ Volunteers to Arms.’’ Every hour
brings an account of some new feature in the
Canadian ferment; the people there actually
seem beside themselves with fear and apprehen
sion, and it ought not to excite surprise that
they are so electrified when they submit to be
guided by such a spirit as Thomas D’Arey Mc
Gee. Just en passant we shall take a glance at
this hero of loyal royal worship. In 1848, in
Ireland, Thomas D. McGee was the trusted
colleague of John Mitchell, William Smith
O’Brien, Thomas Francis Meagher, Terence
Bellew McMames and other men of equal
purity of intention, in a revolutionary combi
nation to separate Ireland from Great Britain.
D’Arey McGee, in the virtue of his patriotism,
was pursued by the British Government, and,
if caught, would have been, like John Mitchell,
convicted by a packed jury and transported to
Bermuda or elsewhere; but D’Arey McGee
took refuge under the stripes and stars, and
when.time served fled from that glorious JF.gis
of protection and located himself profitably as
a loyal subject of the British crown in Canada.
Let us just now see, from his own words, how
Mr. Tho pas D'Arcy McGee deports himself
toward his former confreres and vaunted princi
ples of human freedom. His last escapade is :
The Fenian Brotherhood is a fraternity of
thieves and ravishers, combining the hale of
Cain, the cupidity of Judas, and the lust of
Belial,’’ Stand forth ye shades of Jemmy
O’Brien, Tom Reynolds, and'the whole legion
of Government informers iu Ireland, and pre-
senVyour fronts as comparatively innocent in a
moral sense to Thomas D’Arey McGee.
There is no further report of any case of
cholera amongst the passengers by the Atalanta,
nor from any other quarter in.this city.
Messrs. Muller, Williams & Co.J and Messrs.
A. J. Bleecker £ Co., estate auctioneers in
New York, sold house property at auction on
Tuesday, in various districts of the city, the
Jioceeds of which foot up a total of $69,475.
Yesterday, private and public sales at auction,
by Messrs. E. H. Ludlow -& Co,, realized
$198,450, which go to prove that house pro
perty in New York, from some cause or other,
is changing hands. _ -
In this magnificent union of many States
there is not the most minute ingredient of re
ligious sectarianism in all the relations of life,
and hence a man escaping from the thraldom
of British subjection stands erect in admiration
of everything around him. Lost Sunday, a
new church, dedicated to the service of the
Almighty Creator of the Universe, upder the
patronage of SaiDt Gabriel, was opened for
iublic worship under the auspices and presid-
ng genius of the Princes of the Catholic
Church, the recognised successors of the Fish
ermen of Oallilee in this department of God’s
vineyard; the most Rev. Dr. McCloskey, of
New York, and the most Rev. Dr. Lynch, of
Charleston. The ceremonial was grand and
imposing, the assemblage npt only numerous,
bat overflowing, and the Vfbole concern sub
lime in the extreme. Theta follows, the sad
catastrophe—the destruction of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of St. George—a calamity
in which there is not a man inNew York, no
matter of what shade of religious beiief ( -wbo is
not grieved at thejoss. Hence, amongst the
busy and even feverish scenes in which we live,
\qm grand reflection is aver pres 1st, and that is
ill men live ip harmony with each other, ir
respective of religious difference* of opinion,
and when joy pervades one class, the other
shares-jt, and when calamity spreads her funer
al pall over another, fraternity of sentiment
abounds, and all are impressed with charity
one to the other in this magnificent Union.—
Crimes there are which, however we may la
ment them, cannot be denied and must be re-
corded»-but the world is not all criminal.
“There is something good in hnman nature
after all.” This quotation has been suggested by
many in6idents amongst the thousands which
flit about at every angle in this enormous empo>
rium of human industry and daily straggle for
life Crimes no donbt'exist nnder the surface,
but the lofty generosity of the American people
oan be ganged only by the enormous territory of
American dominion on which that '^generosity
grows and -expands. Saint Georgo’s church, in
sixteenth street, whioh was' so lately as soventeon
years ago the free gift offering of the oitizens of
New York, to a distinguished divine, the Rev. Dr.
Tyng, at a cost of a quarter of a million of dollars,
has been laid in waste by fire, and yet the day is
not farofl in the fnture when it shall be recorded
that the ohurch is restored, and all by the free
will offering and oreative power of tho people of
this city.
In the present term there is a enrions ease at
hearing in whioh all young ladies and gentlemen
are, or ought to he, interested. It may all be very
fine to play the games of marriage and divorce,
but as sure as day whioh ever of the games he
played when the votaries become cloyed or dis
appointed, they do not know what to do with
themselves, except to seek a divorce in the Su
premo' Court. Hence we have had one ot those
curious efferver9cent cases whioh is sot, in its pe
culiar nature, of frequent occurrence in our law
oourts. The case stands thus as at present before
the oourt: Mrs. Seltzer, in August, 1864, sued
for, and obtained a divorco from her hnsband, Mr.
Seltzer, npon grounds which we will not now nar
rate minutely. Mr. Seltzer, as quiet as a Iamb,
and without the slightest tendency to any aboli
tion or efferverscent propensity, calmly submitted
without entering a defence; consequently judgment
went by default, and Mrs. Seltzer was released
from her bonds. Mr. Seltzer accepted the judg
ment and went his way. and forthwith formed
another matrimonial ailiance, in the same golden
month of August, and in his new Elysium, lived
in such a state of celestial beatitude, tmi.t the
Mrs Seltzer that was became effervescent, and
vowed she would not be a consenting party to
Mr. Seltzer, her dariiDg husband, Irving with
another woman, and “such a beast of a woman
too”—she would die and blow up before her dar
ling Alfred should be in the clutches of that
horrible woman. On being called on to show the
cause, Mrs. Seltzer that was, stated to the Court,
that her lawyer bad deceived her. Those lawyers,
that is the charge every unsuccessful client al
leges against them, poor devils, and yet they live
on. Her lawyer tola her to sue lor a divorce,
and if she succeeded in the suit, her husband
would be radically cured of a chronic insanity
under which he was then suffering, as she was
persuaded. Mrs. Seltzer being so advised, sued
in jest tor the divorce which had been granted,
and she now moved the Court to set aside the
decision, and re-establish her marriage with non-
effervescent Seltzer, and discharge the present
woman, who had possession of him without her
consent. '
The learned judge, alter hearing all the inci
dents of the case, delivered judgment,- and con
firmed the previous decision, ol divorce for life,
as sued for in August term of 1864, Law and
facts were what he had to do with, and not jests
nor caprices.
Mrs. Seltzer flew from the Court in a state of
effervescence railing at the top of her voice that
she “was only in jest, and that there was no jus
tice to be had in this world.”
In one of our Police courts, a Mr. Thomas
Cooney complained that having been fascinatedly
the drabbled charms of Miss Anne Browne, he
bore her company to a house of ill-fame, where
Anne carried out her art of extraction by reliev
ing Mr. Cooney of $160, the loss of which he did
not discover after a sound sleep until he found
that his dear Anne was gone and with her his
dollars :—Don’t he hope he may recover them ?
Eh, Mr. Cooney.
Two fellows named Cooney, (perhaps the same)
and Perry, quarrelled iu a drinking shop, and
Cooney shot Perry in the thigh with a revolver
and got locked up.
Pickpockets are extremely active in their ac
complishments in and about the street railway
cars Their dexterity would be worth an
hour’s study to the distinguished wizard, Profes
sor Anderson, could he be present to avail of the
anvantage.
In the court of General Sessions yesterday Wil
liam O'Keeffe was convicted of the murder of
John Abrams in the second degree. Sentence
deferred.
Yesterday the late rebel Attorney-General
Davis was brought a prisoner to New York
from Key West, on board the steamer Mem
phis, and is held in custody awaiting orders
from Washington to send liim forward to Fort
Lafayette.
General J. E. Johnston, late of the rebel
army, who surrendered to General Sherman,
is at present in New York, and has received a
great number of visitors at his hotel.
This day a meeting is to be held in Irving
Hall for the purpose of co-operating with a
movement to do honor to the memory and bril
liant genius of the late W. V. Wallace, the
composer. The object is two-fold : First, to
erect a simple monument to his memory in
Kensal Green, near London, where his ashes
repose; and secondly, to create a fund for the
relief and benefit of his bereaved widow and
her young and helpless orphans. If you will
have the marble memorial in Kensal Green
burial ground, why by all means have it—let
every man have nis hobby—but as Wallace’s
memento is already chronicled in his own crea
tions of undying musical compositions, we
would say “let there not be a stone nor a
trowel of mortar laid in Kensal Green or else
where until the widowed wife and orphan chil
dren of William Vincent Wallace shall be
amply provided for.” Let us in this and in all
things profit by the past. Oliver Goldsmith
lived in misery from day to day over a long
series of years, and finally died from hunger
and privation in a garret amongst the slums of
filthy London ; Robert B&rns dragged out the
evening of a wretched existence, and died in
penury, and yet me® of the present day erect
monuments to their memory. In Edinburgh
there is a statue of Burns, and in the court
way of Trinity College, in Dublin, a statue of
the author of the “Deserted Village” confronts
the passer by, and reminds him that if our pre
decessors had only contributed one-eighth per
cent, of what the monuments cost, whilst the
men were still living, Goldsmith and Burns
might have gono down to the grave full of
years and honor. Let there be no barren archi
tecture nor pompous display in monumental
marble until the widows and orphans shall be
raised upon a pedestal above all physical and
material necessities. Cicerone.

Buenos Ayres, Sept. 27.
This city has npt yet recovered from the in
toxication of joy occasioned by the surrender
of the city of Uruguayana byflhe Paraguayans
to the allied forces of Brazil, Uruguay and the
Argentine Confederation.
The Surrender of Uruguayana. . v
On the 5th of August an advance guard of
Paraguayans entered Uruguayana, a Brazilian
town, and were soon surrounded by the allies.
The three commanders of the respective allied
forces hastened to the place with some 26,000
troops. The number at first eptrapped was
about 7,000. Provisions were scarce; so much
so that even horses had to.be used for food, un
til nothing was left but loaf sugar. The town
could at once have been taken by assault, but
owing to some unaccountable delay no imme-
ate attack was made. On September T7 it
was decided to shell the place, But bad weather
prevented it. The next night the garrison at
tempted to escape, but without success, and
the following morning Colonel Estigarribia
accepted the offered terms of surrender. He
reported five thousand effective men, five can
non, five thousand muskets, 1,300 lances,
nine colors, together with a considerable
amount of ammunition and baggage, and a
small fleet of canoes and flatboats.
The city has seldom been shaken by such
general and hearty rejoicing. This bloodless
victory has driven the Paraguayans out of the
valley of the Uruguay, an'd rid both Brazil and
Uruguay of the invaders. .It allows the allies
to concentrate tho fifty thousand men now un
der arms in the valley of the Parana. It has
given confidence to the friends of the govern
ment, and allayed the revolutionary spirit that
had already begun to be felt. Above, all, ow
ing to the singular policy of thiB country, the
five thousand men captured will have to fight
for their conquerors, fof the prisoners are
to be drafted into the various regiments of the
allies.
The advices sent by the last packet, that the
Paraguayans were about to' invade Santa Fe,
proved erroneous- The government acted very
hastily but effectively to provide against inva
sion, but it did not prove necessary.
The easy victory, at Uruguayana has given
renewed enthusiasm to the movements of the
allies. Instead of relaxing their efforts
through want of confidence they are gather
ing fresh troops from all quarters.
It is rumored that Colonel Estigarribia was
bribed to surrender Uruguayana, and even the
amount is fixed at $80,000 silver, but these re
ports lack authentic confirmation.
Proposed Annexation of Paraguay.
Everything leads to the belief that the allies
will have possession of the capital of Paraguay
in the beginning of 1866. Bnc no matter
whether it be three months, or six, or twelve,
the final result must be that Paraguay will be
subdued. - '
Paraguay would be a most valuable acquisi
tion to the Argentine Republic. The popula
tion exceeds a million souls. Her productions
are extremely valuable. If Paraguay be an
nexed at once to the Argentine Republic, be
fore her inhabitants be Tlemoralized by civil
war, capital, enterprise and intelligence will
flow into the country, and aU those sources of
wealth would be developed on a large scale.
- Trade and Steam Navigation.
Two fine steamers for this river trade are on
their way here; one, the Portena, from New
York, and one to be brought, owned and com
manded by the old river' favorite here, the
Scotch Captain Bruce. The San Jnan mines
continue to attract great attention. They are
not inviting for individual^miners ; but com
panies that can lay out money in machinery
have fine prospects. The principal engineer
of the government, Major Rickart, has jnst
organized a company in Europe witfi a nomi
nal capital of one million dollars in specie,
with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
paid up in specie. They are prepared with the
machinery already set up, and with one now
on the surface, to smelt two hundred pounds
of bar - silver daily. This would amount to
half a million dollars a year, and the figure
can be doubled.
Business is somewhat dull on account Of the
war. The real season begins next month,
when great activity is expected. The recent
rains have dispelled all fears of an early
drought this year. .- . „ v» -
It is estimated that the yield of wool this
season will amount to 87,500,000 pounds, or
43,000 tons. This year has been the best ever
known for sheep raisets, the increase being es
timated at forty per cent.
To day there'is reported only one American
ship in this port, the Nellie Abbott;. but there
are several American captains commanding 1
transferred ships. Money is plentiful and
easy, and gold is not in demand-

Rio db Janeiro, Oct 10, 1865.
The Three Great Events.
Three great events in the war between the
allies and the Paraguayans have recently taken
place, resulting in f&vor of the former.
First, in Inly, tho narval conflict in which the
Brazilians fought bravely, and came out viotori-
oa*.' bat with the loss of many officers and men.
History will, in doe time, reoord, with jast pride
for this empire, the battle of Riaohnelo.
After that came, on tbe 17th of August, the
battle of Yatahy, m which two thousand killed,
one thousand three hundred prisoners, four hun
dred wounded left on the field, eight osnnon, four
flags and a great quantity of ammunition were
the trophies obtained by the allies. The armies
were,thus composed The Oriental army, of
three battalions; the Brazilian, of the Third and
Seventh regulars, and a battalion of volunteers,
under command of Colonel Fidelia; and the army
of the Argentine Confederation,of three divisions,
numbering about thirteen thousand men, under
the command of General Floret (Oriental), who,
previous to the general aetion, repulsed, at the
point of the bayonet, the right wing of the left
division of the Paraguayans, four thousand
strong. Four flays previous to this, General
Flores, to avoid useless bloodshed, sent a flag of
truce to Colonel Duarte, oommauding the enemy’s
foroes, summoning him to surrender. In reply,
as already known, he ehot the bearer of this mils
sage—a German.
Very little artillery was used in this actiofi,
tbe botteat and most effective work being done
by infantry. At ‘Tasso* Lirrea,"-close by, the
Paraguayans bad left their boats and a stroog
force to cover their retreat in that direction if
necessary; but men and. boat* were all eap-
tused. Colonel and Acting General Dante
commanding tbe Paraghayans.wa* taken pri/
oner. They attempted to cross the Yataby, but
were prevented by Generals Madariaga and
boares, who followed them closely with a force
» * ho,,s * n d cavalry. The complete-defeat
w the enemy took place on the right shore of
tae nver Uruenay. They tried to escape in
the direction 31 Ibicuhy, but were also pre-
- B I* ziEan General Canavarro
” 8 desperate fighting, and were
thus compelled to return to Uruguayana, after
having burned half of their store and ammu
nition wagons. •
The Brazilian fleet on the 20fh crossed the
bar of Monnay, opposite Quarahim, and was
on its way to Uruguay ana, where it would ar
rive in time to render good service.
It was 'expected that the Brazilian province
of Rio Brande would speedily be rid of the
Paraguayan invaders, who, though utterly de
feated in their actipn, fought with a wild rage
incited by the exhortations and fanaticism of
a Jesuit monk, who nrged them otr in the
brunt of the battle, with,a large ivory cross in
one hatad, assuring the savage soldiers that if
-they fell they would come to life again on the
other side of the river to fight and conquer
the Brazilians and their cruel allies
The Latest Event.
The last and greatest of the three’ events is
the surrender of Uruguayans, which occurred,
on the 18th of September^ at 3 p. m.
On the same morning the allied army, under
the command in person of his Majesty the Em
peror of Brazil, who had arrived on the field
the day previous, took up position, with forty-
two piecqs of artillery, near the fortified place
of tbe enemy, already closely invested; the
right being occupied by the Brazilian troops,
commanded by General Baron de Porto-Alegre;
the centre by the Argentines, under command
of General Mitre, and the left by the Orientals,
commanded by General Flores. A flag of
truce was then sent to CoL Estigarrabja, com
manding the enemy’s forces, summoning him
to surrender unconditionally. After some other
preliminaries Estigarribia replied he would
surrender tp the Emperor of Brazil, whereupon
Senhor Ferraz, the Secretary of War, accom
panied by a numerous staff, advanced to the
enemy’s lines and received the sword of Col.
Estigarribia. Fifty-one hundred and three
men were surrendered, exclusive of the sick in
hospital, with Col. Estigarribia himself, and
the celebrated Jesuit, above mentioned, and
named Duarte. Not one man escaped. The
news was received in this capital with immense
enthusiasm.
Illuminations and all sorts of public displays
and rejoicings took plaoe. The streets were
thronged with processions of public corporations,
headed by bands of music. Among the principal
bodies where the Chamber of Commerce, the
Committee of Brokers, Custom House employees,
the Academy of Medicine and the “Central
School.” The Empress end the Princesses were
serenaded before the palaoe, in congratulation of
the success of the allied arms. The Empress,
with her usual unoeteotatioua urbanity, received
and thanked them all most graciously. The
Emperor and his staff are soon expected to re«
turn to the capital, leaving it to his generals and
his allies to finish up the war. '
Arrivrl of the Paraguayan General.
1 had almost forgotten to mention that Gen.
Estigarribia arrived here three days ago on board*
of a Brazilian man-of-war. He is very kindly
treated for a prisoner of war—much more so than
he deserves. He is lodged in a good.hotel, and all
his expenses defrayed by the government.
Business rather brisk with the States. Frequent
and large shipments of coffee, aed malty arrivals
of sailing vessels from your oity end Baltimore,
laden with flour and lumber. - On the 27th is ex-
peoted the Erst steamer of the line said to be
established between New York and this empire.
It will prove a success for botk countries.
Washington, Nov. 16,1865.
The Navy Department is in receipt of des
patches from Commodore Godon, dated Rio
Janeiro, Ootober 4, announcing the capture of
seven thousand Paraguayans by tho Brazilian
forces. Though a great success, the Commodore
thinks it gives but little promise of a speedy ces
sation of hostilities.—N. Y. Herald.
