SAVANNAH NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 22. 1865. WE BNESPAV NOBNINC, NOV. 22d. t?' “*9 The. Pirate Shenandoah- AVe have none of the particulars, the simple telegraphic worth of Northern men, tine of Steamship*.— Baa* of the Empire 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.

EAST LYNNE TO-NIGHT, Another New The Pioneer 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.

[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.

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- r 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.

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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
