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.

On the 15th, there was a large robbery of one of tlie express companies in Chicago. Tlie amount of money stolen was #41,000. Within a few hours afterwards the superin tendent cf police went to work with Ins de tectives, and, before the day was over, the robbers were ferreted out and arrested, and the money was recovered ami restored to its owner*.

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 fence whatever except a few questions in tlic like iiinmints of Confederate notes in 4 per cent, bonds of the Confederate Slates, in the name and acrouat of Messrs, Stellmnn, Hin- tfeks A Co., having first advertised, as tlie banks did in like eases, in the.

The latter-contend that Foster <Si Co., instead of holding the rabnoy as special deposits, as they had a right to do, elected to convert die same to their own use, and made it their own by placing the same to tlicir credit in bank, and cheeking upon tlic com mon fund us tht-irown, and there!!}- became indebted to th(f depositors for tjic value of the amount deposited, as money hatband re ceived.

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.

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 passible. Two Spanish war steamers arrived on tlie 21st from Havana, anil were placed nt tlic di-pns:il of tlie authorities. Tlic British ship of war Urquit, from Barbadoes, arrived on the 28th, witli troojjs. Sir.

Agent Lemon has arrived here, whose word can be vouched tor. He says thatVm his way from .Tabasco to Nqw- York, within the past two weeks, he met nn agent of Maximilian, 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 tainly follow. Maximilian was paying a visit to Yucatan, and bad removed Ins personal ef- Xisecllnneous News Items- New York, Nov. 83.—Officers of themed rdcred to make ipecial report of military cemeteric ■ known to tbc-ui, reconim.n-Jing mcasur.. for preserv ing them from being desecrated. The Tribune's sjx-eial says: A letter from an Alabama postmaster says .tlie Union men are rigidly excluded from reconstruction con ventions and official jiositions. 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 monstrate in his reports the utility of the 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 bor of the Freedmen, Mr. Conway, late of the freedmen’s bureau of Louisiana, will visit Liverpoel shortly. There is scarelv a doubt that a bill will pass congress, providing that the heirs of soldiers who died in Confederate prisons be privileged to collect commutation of gov- ment rations for the time the deceased were ■prisoners of war. Washington Items. ■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.
