Paraguayans cuter.*d
town, and were soun ;
The three commander? of the respective al-

25,000 troops The number at tir^t entrapped
was about 7.0091 Provisions were scarce; so
mil' ll so that even horse* liad to lJe used for'
food, until nothing was left but loaf sugar.—
The town could have l*een at once t*iken by
suit, but owing to some unaccountable de
lay no immediate attack was made. On Sep-
temher 17 it was decided to shell the place,
but bad weather prevented it. The next
night the garrison attempted to escape, but
without success, and the following morn
ing Colonel Kstigarribia accepted the of
fered terms of surrender. He reported five
thousand effective men. five cannon, five
thousand muskets, 1,000 lances, nine colors,
together with a considerable amount of am
munition and baggage, and a small fleet of
canoes and fiatboats.
The city has seldom been shaken by such
general and hearty rejoicing. This bloodless
victory has driven the Paraguayans out of the
valiey of the Uruguay, ancl rid Loth Brazil
and Urugu^pof invaders. It allows the allies
to concentrate the fifty thousand men now
under arms in the valley of the Parsana. It
has given confidence to the friends of the
government, and allayed the revolutionary
spirit that had already begun to be felt.—-
Above all, owing to the singular policy of this
country, the five thousand men captured will
have to fight for their conquerors, for the
prisoners arc to be drafted into the various
regiments of the allies.

Ar; Iiiror.TA.XT Case at Richmond—.A
ease of much interest here and in many cities
of the Sonth, is pending l>cforc the court of
conciliation at Richmond. The Times of
that city thus states the facts involved:
It seem: that Mosers, step vin, Ilinrirhs &
Co., a wealthy firm io Bald..lore, deposited
with R. T. Foster. S. Co., at various times in
18(52 and 18f>:5, considerable sums ot money
in Confederate notes, to await orders for in
vestments, or to be returned in tlie same kind i
of currency. No orders were given for hi-1 form of cross-examination,
vestment, anil in 18154, Foster As Co., acting ”
as the banks did in similar cases, invested
!ins, eight}’ years old, at one
■ of a hotel at Pensacola, Fla.,
id hands, which was given to him by
order of tlie provost marshal. While bath
ing liimsclf he said: “Should my life be
spared. I shall never again meddle with poli
tics.’" A" cup of tea was then given him,
which he drank. It w;is evident, up to that
time, that the wretched man had no idea of
his earthly career coming so near a close.
Shortly after his tea his doom was announced
to him, the effect of which was forcibly ap
parent on his pale anil emaciated counte
nance. He then askccl for half an hour,
which was granted to him, and which lie
employed in reading a couple of chapters in
the Bil'le and writing a short note to ids
wife. After doing so ho was marched under
a strong guard of the sixth royal regiment to
tlie place of execution. With an apparently
firm step, but a sorely troubled minci—if the
(ace is an index of tlie same—he mounted the
ladder placed beneath tlie centre areli of tlie
burnt court-house—the rope hanging from
tlie same—and stood on tlie barrel prepared
ns a trap board. Standing thereon, gazing
beneath him on the loyal hearts assembled as
well as tlie prisoners paraded to witness the
dniim lie so justly merited, and on eighteen
of his brothers in crime who were iiangin;
below. Oil his arms and legs being held to
lu- pinioned, be handed his spectacles to a
sailor of tlie Wolverine. Tile provost mar
shal then uttered tlie words, “Sentenced to
lie hanged;” tlie order was given, “Pull
away,” and the traitor was launched into eter
nity. Thus perished George William Gor
don, member of the assembly nnd ex-magis
trate, a victim.of the seditious doctrines he
had himself so freely disseminated. He
struggled fully fifteen minutes.
Pan Bogle, the notorious rebel' was
brought intoHorant bay about eleven o'clock
on the Tuesday following George William
Gordon's execution. He came in escort by a
bilge body of Maroons, and Ids arrival was
announced by the blowing of shells. The
greatest excitmcnt prevailed in Morant bay
when it was positively ascertained tiint the
monster had really fallen into our hands nnd
was soon to meet the punishment lie so justiy
merited. In appearance he was a n-.an be
tween forty-five and fifty years old, black,
with thick, heavy, reddish lips, blurred eyes
and very mock pitted with small-pox. His
sullen countenance and dogged manner be
spoke him a man capable of committing'“all
the atrocities with which he was charged.
At about one o'eloek of the same day lie was
jilaecd on his trial, and entered into no de

Moses Bogle, Paul's brother, was placed
along with him for trial, and portrayed tlie
Fame sullen and dogged appearance. He was
severely wounded by a brown man named
Botliwell, who captured him, and who also
received a severe wound on the right arm.
Moses Bogle, was what is generally termed a
yellow negro, taller and stouter than Paul,
with large, heavy whiskers.
' Old Buie, the Captain General of tlie
rebel forces, was also tried and condemned
on thg same day. He was a man, we should
suppose, bordering on sixty-five years of age,
short, thin and remarkable in his appearance
fronMhp gBijUieard which he wore. On tlie
•anie day l^Jse three rebels—tlic principal
ringleaders in the massacre—were executed
at live o’clock p. M-, on the ruins of the old
court house—"Paul hanging in the centre,
Moses on yie left, and Buie on the right—all
hanging on the centre arch of the burned
building. Beneath them were fourteen others
hanging. Neither of the fliree uttered one
Word after i ffondelftinflon, but met their
doom with an indifference painful to behold.
The easy victory at Uruguayan-.! 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 ail quarters.
It is rumored tnat Colonel Estigarribia
was bribed to surrender Uruguayan!!, and ev
en the amount is fixed at $80,000 silver, but
these reports lack authentic confirmation.
Everything leads to tlie belief that the al
lies will have possession of tiie capital of Pa
raguay in tlie beginning of 1800. But no
matter whether it be from three months, or
six, or twelve, the final result must be that
Paraguay will he subdued.
Paraguay would be a most valuable acquisi
tion to tlie Argentine republic. The popul
tion exceeds a million soulc. Her produc
tions are extremely valuable. If Paraguay
be annexed at once to tlic Argentine rejmh
lie, before her inhabitants be demoralized by
civil war, capital, enterprise and intelligence
will flow into the country, and ail those
sources of wealth would be developed on
large scale.

Tiie IVah in IIavti.—Thefrlew York Her
ald of tlie 17th furnishes the following
Our correspondence by the steamship Mon
teznma gives complete details of the liom
bardment on tlie 23th of October, heretofore
noticed in our columns, of the town and de
fenses of Cape Ilaytien, Ilayti, by tlie British
sloop-of-wiir Bull Dog, and of the abandon
ment and destruction of that vessel. These
details are of a highly interesting character,
as fully explaining the origin of the dispute
and detailing tiie points of the conflict. If
appears that the rebel Ilaytien fleet had suc
ceeded in running down ami capturing
Geffrard steamer, on board of which it w
believed was President Geflrad. IVhen about
to take possession of the prize, the Bull Dog
hove in sight and claimed that the vessel was
a British mail packet. Right of search was
denied tlie Uayticu- commander, and he was
compelled to abandon liis prize aud return,
closely followed by tlic Bull Dog, to the hur-
bor of Cape Ilaytien. On reaching tiie har
bor tlic Bull Dog attempted to communicate
with tlie town; but her boats were refused
permission to land by Salmive, commander of
the Ilaytien rebels. Several Ilaytiens, con
cealed in the office of the British consul,
were seized by Salnave ns hostages for the
delivery ot tlic captured vessel. To resent
this insult, Capt. Wake, of the Bull Dog,
opened lire on the town without warning, and
bombarded tlic forts and batteries and the
Ilaytien fleet. In an effort to run down tlie
Voldroque, a Ilaytien vessel, the Bull Dog
got aground. Here she fought all day, sink
ing the Voldroque and a schooner by well-
directed shots, but was unable to extricate
herself from her perilous position. An ap-
peal to Captain Walker,' of the United States
steamer De Soto, to pull the Bull Dog off,
met with a refusal; but Capt. Walker agreed
to and did remove the wounded of the Bull
Dog to his own ship, as well as aided in the
rescue of the oflieers and men of tlic Vol
droque. During the night the Bull Dog was
blown up. Salnave, tlie rebel Ilaytien com
mander, is said to have been killed ilurinj
tlie bombardment.
The Jamaica Rebei.i.ion.—By tlic arrival
of tlic steamer Montezuma nt New York, on
tlie lfith inst., from Kingston, Jamaica, we
glean the following additional particulars in
reference to tiie rebellion progressing in that
Island:
Maj. Gen. O'Conncrhad assumed command
of the British troops and special volunteers.
Outbreaks are threatened at Brownstown,
arising out of suits of ejectment by Mr. Ingra
ham against certain parties, and one hundred
troops have been ordered there.
Five prisoners have been brought from St.
Thomas to Kingston.
Tlie govnroment had offered amnesty to
rebels who returned to loyally to the Crown,
provided they have not been concerned in
any actual mnrders or arson. Advices from
Morant Bay report tlic execution of seventeen
men and "one woman rebel. Several were
executed at Fort Antonio, all of whom con
fessed guilt anil acknowledged tlx- justice of
the sentence. Later advices from Port Mo-
rant report several rebels condemned to death,
intruding Gordon and C’allier, and a complete
crushing of the rebellion.
'-The entire line of road from Songbar to
Han chional bay. eight miles, was so strewn
(with dead bodies as to render tiie road im

who stated that affairs were nearly in the ex
tremes for the imperialists, and that nil the
reports of victory for the imperials brought
with it no substantial results, and that it was
on account of their inability to draw sup
plies und other necessaries from the rural dis
tricts.
The war against the Liberals was carried
on at a dead expense. He further adds the
agent had been dispatched by Maximilian to
France back for one hundred million dollars
and forty tlirousand troops, and in the event
of Napo’leon’s failing to furnish means the
evacuation of Mexico by the French must cer

The lier/.fs special *>nys if is qnite certain
that Gen. Logan will decline the mission to
Mexico. It is believed that no new appoint
ment will be made before the meeting of con
gress.
Dr. Craven, from Fort Monroe, who arrived
this morning, reports 31 r. Davis in fair health
and serene mind. Nothing is known at Fort
Monroe regarding his trial. The chief jus
tice’s interview with the president yesterday
rclated almost wholly to it.
It is supposed that the object of concen
tration of military force in tlie vicinity of
San Antonia, Texas, is for the purpose of
looking after French troops.
Efforts to secure the parole of Clement C-
Clay are unsuccessful. Several personal ap
peals were made by Mrs. Clay. Stress is laid
upon tlie fact tiiat Clay voluntarily surren
dered on hearing tiiat he was charged with
complicity in the assassination of the presi-
deht.
Tiie Tima' special says; The treasurer of
tlie United States, Gen. F. E. Spinner, has
issued a supplement to the regulations re
specting tlx-time »f the annual retnm and
payment of duties by the national banking
assoeiations. He says the numerous errors
made by recently organized banks in esti
mating the time for the payment of the an
imal duty, causes the supposition, tiiat the
regulations respecting their statements fur
nished by the treasurer, arc not read or un
derstood by tlie officers making estimates.
The method of making the statement con
tained in tlie regulations is legally correct,
and the books in tiie treasurer's office are so
made as to admit of tlxir record in no other
method. There must, therefore, be no alter
ation of tlie printed portion of the form by
interlining, erasure, or otherwise. Statements
will be returned to bjmks for correction until
they arc made to the method contained in the
regular form.
The llembi'* AYasliington dispatch says it
is understood that General Howard wilt de

freedmen’s bureau, and the advisability of
continuing its existence until protection is no
longer needed by whites or blacks.
American and English capitalists talk of
organizing a national cotton growing com
pany in the South. Tiie English attempt to
produce cotton in India proves discouraging.
To remove apprehensions of securing the la

freedmen’s bureau of Louisiana, will visit
Liverpoel shortly.
There is scarelv a doubt that a bill will

■Washington. Nov, 23.—3Vm. Robe, a
claim agent, B. Dresser, lute clerk in '2nd au
ditors office, and Ilaman Gaggsmnn, who are
confederated for the purpose of defrauding
the government by the abstraction of papers
of deceased and discharged soldiers, have
been committed for trial in default of nn ag
gregate of $35,000 bail for their appearance.
Tlic second auditor, testified that liad the
abstraction of the jrapers not been discov
ered for a few months, a million of dollars
might have been fraudulently collected from
the government. The parties involved in
the fraudulent transactions have made writ
ten confessions of llicir guilt.
The Post's Washington special dispaacli

The late ex-Confedcratc rain Stonewall,
forced by a gale to put into North Harbor,
on Sunday, will arrive in time to be examined
by the court martial now trying Commodore
E. Craven for not attacking her at Ferral lust
March.
The Post’s Washington correspondent says:
Congress will act upon the theory that the
war is not yet closed. . This is precisely the
ground occupied by the president and every
one of tiie departments of tlic government.
Volunteers not yet discharged have repeat
edly demanded their discharge in compliance
wit'll their terras of cmlistmcnt, and tlie inva
riable reply is, the war is not .yet closed.—
The treasury department also holds, in refer
ence to the payment of bounties, that the
war still exists. The president, while he
protects freedmen with the bayonet, docs it
under the tlicoiy that tlic war has not come
to an end, and tiiat time enough lias not yet
elapsed to satisfy the'prcsident and congress
that the people of the South are steadfastly
