Lopez, President of Paraguay.—The
Paris Debats furnishes the following partic
ulars of the career and death of Lopez, the
late President of the Republic of Para
guay :
Since 1840, the date of the death of the
dictator Francia, Lopoz had governed Para*
guay without interruption, by means of
successive and uncontcsted elections. At
the period of the last renewal of his powers,
he had for a moment the idea of getting
his son, Don Francisco Solano Lopez, to be
elected in his stead; and the Assembly of
Paraguay, which was accustomed to refuse
him nothing, was preparing to execute his
wishes when, by a sudden change, the cause
of which has not been explained, he com-,
pelled his son to withdraw from the candi-
dateship. Although he has now vacated
the Presidential seat by death, old Lopez
from the tomb still obtains the fulfillment
of his wishes. He disposes by will of the
Government of Paraguay; he nominated,
provisionally, it is true, his son, Francisco
Lopez, Vice President of the Republic; and
in that singular country, fashioned for more
than a century past to obedience, first by
the Jesuits, then by Francia, and lastly, by
Lopez himself, there is no doubt that those
posthumous injunctious will be fulfilled.
As absolute as his predecessor, it must be
said to the honor of Antonio Lopez, that he
was neither despotic nor cruel, and his Gov
ernment affected patriarchal dispositions.
More enlightened than his fellow-citizens,
he endeavored to initiate Paraguay into
the progress of civilization. He constructed
between Assumption, his capital, and the
different centres of production, railways, at
which the people at first were greatly as
tonished, but afterwards pleased enough to
make use of. He introduced steam navi
gation on his great river, and succeeded in
constructing, even in Paraguay, vessels fit
for the service. The differences which he
had with Brazil, the United States and Eng
land, were conducted with extreme skill;
and as the most important point was to
avoid war, he did not get badly out of his
difficulties. On the whole, however, Lopez
did not give to the people liberties, which,
in fact, they did not ask for; but his Gov
ernment was neither brutal nor sterile, and
the work of material improvement which
ho commenced will be profitable to Para
guay. The mortal remains of President
Lopez were deposited in the Church of the
Trinity. According to the official journal,
the Semenario, funeral honors were ren
dered to him as to a King. Don Francisco
Lopez, his son, has declared, by a procla
mation to the people, that he accepts the
difficult post of Vice President of the Res
public, in obedience to the wishes of the
illustrious deceased, and has appealed for
the support of good citizens.
fSPThe remains of Col. Wm. T. Black,
of 5th Georgia Regiment, who fell in the
battle near Murfreesboro’, on Wednesday
last, arrived on the train from Atlanta last
Saturday evening, in charge of Capt. Hors
ley and the Colonel's brother, private O. D.
Black of the Clinch Rifles. Jackson’s brij
ade was stationed at Bridgeport, and lei
last Saturday with such of his force as was
not on duty, guarding public property and
bridges. Only 700 of his men went into
the action on. the centre of the line of bat
tle, and 348 of them were afterwards re
ported killed or wounded. The 5th Geor
gia, 5th and8th Mississippi, and Maj. Cox’s
lattalion of sharpshooters, were the com
mands engaged. Full reports of casualties
of only two companies are received.
