Paxaxa, October 25.—Farther infor mation of the cruise of the Haascar and Union south, and of their meeting with two divisions of the Chilian navy is de rived from the official report of Captain Aoralio Garoia, commandant of the Union. The two vessels called at Iquiguo, and there stood Sonth. Arriving off Jaroo (Chilian port), on tbe 4!h nit., where they captured the Cnilian eobooner Coqniau- bo. On the morning <X the flftn they entered the harbor of Irguey, where tbey caused an attempt to be made to land a strong Chilian foroe at Iquigne, and some other point on the oosst of Pero, when Admiral Gran determined to re* turn to Arica. Proceeding north, two Paruvisn steam- era on the eighth sighted the first divis ion of the Cmlian fleet, whioh was look ing for them. The Haascar and Union at onoe pnt about and made off as fast as possible to the southwest. They had drawn well away from land, the Chilian fleet following them, when Gnu resolved to steer north and run between tbe Cni- lian fleet and the shore. In this ma cceavrd ho succeeded and swept by the euemy’s first division without firing u gun. The superior speed of the Peravion snips was manifest. Tney rapidly steamed away from their enemies, the Blanoo and Euoalado and the three wooden steamers, and tbey thought an escape was certain, •ban AfiiLfovtl#- a W—*. rKa. Chilian division, composed of Almirante Oocnrane and several smaller vessels, naming down upon them. In a ew minn.ee Grau said he oonld not escape from this iron-clad, whose speed was equal to bis own. He accord ingly steered for snoal water, when, on account of bis ligntnesn f drangh-, h- might lead his huge en.mies on a rock, or be able to out manmurere them. Tbe Uoion here deserted her consort and escaped to tho westward cioBely fol lowed by several smaller vessels of the enemy. These could not come np wiib her, and she proceeded north to Arica wiihont having a shot daring the disas trous fight. The fight was began by the Huascar disoharging her two three hundred pounders at close range at the Almtracte Coohrane, which Grau followed np by an attempt to ram bis antagonist. This was nneuceessful, as the Chilian irou olada are doable screws, and can present any front they choose to attack by. Aa the Hnasoar swept by at such cloc** range she received a btoid-ddo from the Cochrane, and before ehe bad proceeded far the other battery was ponred into her. At the same time tbe other Chil ian ironclad ran npun her, and Gran, undismayed by thn odds against him, boldiy placed hisuelf between the two huw, which were thus prevented from firing so rapidly, on account of the dan ger of hitting each other, whioh prolong ed the fight. For about an honr the officers of tbe Union were able to observe the deadly combat and speak favorably of tbe man ner in whiob all three ironclads were han dled. It is not known whether the Hnasoar was taken by boarding, or that after the death of Grau. which it is said occurred early in the action, and the wounding of the executive office and eev- •ral subordinates, the remaining officers unhurt, only four in number, hauled down (he flag. The HuiBOar lost a large nnmbar of officers and men, a circumstance which was afterwards reported at Iqniqne by the Chilian vessels Higgins and Los. Tho bull of the Hnasoar is said to have b?en riddled and her engines damaged. Her turret was jammed so that it weald not revolve, ana everything was swept from her deck by the terrible fire from the ironclads. It is said, indeed, that her farm is rendered completely use less. The Chilian Ironclad whioh went Into the notion fired her broadsides very rap* ily, as with her tnrn sorewa she was able to present to her adversary in a few min utes any batteries she wished to use. The Hnasoar guns were well manned. Memphis, November 3 —Ice was form ed this morning in all the gutter* of th- eity, and to-day is by far the coldest ol the season.

It is pre faced with the usual tabnlar statements and the >e turns compiled by the Adja- txnt GenersL These show that the total strength of the army ie now 2.189 officers and 24 262 men in the service, and 388 officers <etired. Of this foroc, however, 3,463 enlisted men are detailed for epe. oial servioe in the engineer and signal corps, at torpedo etatioD, at West Point, as prison guards, etc., rad are not available for frontier defense. The army proper or real combative foroe, therefore, consists of eleven generals, 1.559 offioers, 20,565 men and 233 Indian scoots, to gether with auoh staff offioers as. are as signed by tne War Department to duty with the troops, Ie thus appears that one-sixth of the enlisted men provided by law for the whole umy are not available for active service, and if the army should not.

To partially disinfect Memphis the Na tional Board of Health used the present season 170,105 pounds of copperas, 1,215 pounds of eui;hate of Etoc, forty barrels of salpbnr, 9,000 barrels of lime, fifteen barrels of o-irbulio sold, and 1,200 gallons o! zino iion. Besides this, armed p*trpU for the proteotion of the oity.had to b« employed, troops picketed the roads and approaches to prevent the ingress and egresa of citizens and strangers, camps for the poor were established at desirable locations where they were duly supplied with rations, and a host ot nurses and phjsiaians for tbe sick had to be provi ded.. __ Still all these precautions did not seem to weigh a feather in artestlng the pro gress of the pestilence, which steadily held its own in that almost dep .pulated oity. Bnt, now that Jack Frost haa banished the insidious foe, before the rush ot rovlving buslnesi and a thousand distractions serve to obliterate the past and engender the same oaretaesaess, not to Bay fatality, whioh obtained at the advent- of tha recent anmtner, it is proper to ask what were the senses that pro duced this terrible disease, and what era be done to destroy its existing germs and prevent a repetition of the same ealamlty. The following extract from the Mem phis Atwlawtos wilt go for to famish the solution of tbe sole matter! A singgisb, filthy stream ia Wolf river. Ia faot lc is nothing more than an ex tremely stagnant bayou fall of vegetable poisons. Yet we are not only compelled to drink Wolf river water, bnt when there Is high water in the Mississippi river onr water Is dilated with 1,500 prlrjf vaults. This is enough to poison any commu nity. Bat, in addition, so lax were the authorities last spring in their hygienio precautions, that, as we published sever al months ago, a respectable gentleman from this oity, when visiting Memphis, saw piles of second-hand dead men’s shoes and clothing offered for sals, by ne groes on the street oorners, and says the streets were filthy rad the pavements de cayed. All this mast be stopped incontinently, and proper drainage, purs water and oleanliness assured to the people of Hem- phis,if they wonidhope to esoape another, and repeated visitations fromyellow fever. Ic is due to tbe safety of the whole South tfiat speedy measures should be taken daring the winter months to disinfect tho oity, and make its sanitary condition each as to remove ell danger or fear of a return of the plagne next summer. Bel who ia to do tbit? We answer, tb people of Memphis (hemMlvea, assisted, if need be, by their State authorities. Sorely the great commonwealth of Ten- nssaeo would not humiliate herself by nailing upon the general Government to do that whioh is manifestly her own daty. Bnt there is no time to be lost in tbe premises, and now while the reoolleotion of the reoent horrors through which the people of Memphis have paused are still fresh in ihe pablia mind, is ihe proper moment to agitate the question and ac complish the necessary work.
