Oh ! I'm jolly to-night, Ben, without thee,
And 1 laugh at the squint of your eye, J
And sure there’s a dread. Ben, about you,
Whenever 1 know y<m ate nigh.
Like the look of the rogue when he's flying,
Is the squint which your eye Can’t conceal,
And your words are so false and belying,
That I hate yob, hold knight of the steal.

My hate 1 will never conceal.

Oh ! the robber, he steals in the wildwood,

To remind me, Ben Butler, of yon ;
But I think, Ben, so often about you,
That you don’t know how ivrathy I feel,'
But I’m jolly to-night, Ben, without you,
As I have no spoons you can steal.
But then, why should T weep tears Cf sorrow.
Or why let hate lose its place,
Won’t I meet you, Ben Butler, to-tnor'row

PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH OF LO
i\ez.
When Lopez was eiirpriaed by the Bra
zilians ho was mounted on a gray horse*
and trotted along with two of his aids de
camp, all the rest of the party going on
foot. This was the only time in which the
Brazilians surprised the Dictator. The
orderly of Col. Tavares, the Brazilian Com*
mander, as soon as he hoard that the gray'
horseman was Lopez, gave him a blow with
a lance, which wounded Lopiz in tils abdo
men. At the same time others fired at him
and his aids-de-camp, one of whom fell,
having been wounded in the head. This
was Caminos* one of Lopez’s ministers.
Although wounded again, Lopi’z continued
to ride at half gallop towards the woods
near by. Just at the entrance of this wood
lay a great swamp, wherein the President’s
horse begun to sink. To avoid any delay
in his flight Lopez dismounted rapidly, took
off his blouse, aud disappeared among the
trees.
General Camara was then approaching,
and was told by a Major that Lop«z was
there. The General doubted it, but dis-.
mouuted and penetrated tho wood; and
fouud LopcZ crossing a stream and endears
oring to reach the opposite bank. General
Camara entered the stream, and when at a
short distance from Lopez said to bin/
‘Surrender, Marshal; I am the Brazilian
commander.* As an answer,- Lopez fired ct
shot in the direction of Camara, and as he
fcached the bank, he fell on bis knees ex-*
hausted. In half a minute more Camata
stood near him, and ordered a soldier of the
Ninth Infantry to disarm Lopez. Lopez
did not quietly surrender, tut struggled
with the soldier for 6ome trine.
At the same moment a soldier of the cav
alry came up, and seeing the hard struggle
fired at Lopez, the ball entering his heart
The Dictator fell down ; in ten mimites
more he was dead.
HOW HE LOOKED WHEN KILLED.
When Lopez was killed his feet w£re ih
the water, his body lying op the bank of
the stream. He wore blue paiftaloons,
with a golden stripe, a very fine shirt
waist, aud rnelico boots; His hat had been
lost. Iu the pocket of tiis waiscoat a gold
watch was found, nn one of iu covers was
a beautiful engraving of his monogram, P.-
S. L., and on the other were tho arms of
Paraguay, viz: a Phrygian cap; supported
by a sword ‘hat rests near the vanquished
lion of Castile, the words 'Yaiy Jus'.tcia .’
on the top, and 'Bepublim del Paraguay'
below. The pockets of bis blouse weie
also searched, and the only things found
were two pen holders, some note paper, and
an ivory ring, with the customary ins
scriptiou: ‘Yencir ou Monrir *

BAINBRIDGE, GA.* THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 18?0
escorted by a guard <>f soldiers. When
Lieu tehant Martins met Mrs.
Lynch’s carriage; Col. Pancho Lopez (about
eighteen years old, stud a son of the Dicith**
tor) did not readily obey the order to sur
render, as the rest of the party did ; but
with lances and revolVer offered most se
rious resistance. After some shots had
been fired by him, Col. Martins exhausted
his patience and killed the young man
with his swOrd- Then Mrs. Lynch de
scended from her carriage and laid her
son’s dead body on the front seat of it.
She wept bitterly, invoking ‘PaDchito I
Panchito !’ and opening his eyes while say
ing this. Mrs. Lynch wore a black satin
dreSs with trimmiugs and flounces of white
satin. Her hair was dressed as if for a
soiree. On one of her fingers glittered
four rihgs which sparkled yrith diamonds.
The mother and sisters oif Lopez, when
taken, were in one wooden cart, on their
knees, thanking Prdvidence for the tyrant’s
fall. The poor old lady Carrillo was sen®
tenced to death, and Lieutenant Murizo had
received instructions to lance her, in case
of being overtaken by the enemy;
A HORRIBLE STORY.
It is horrible to consider the reason why
the Dictator had proposed himself to corns’
mit such a nefarious crime. When Lopez
was Still at Panadero his mother was ac
cused by a certain woman, the Wife of a
Marco (who was whipped diii’dy), of hav
ing planned the death of his Son by means
of poisohj that was to be given him in the
form of candy in an approaching festa.
Lepcz immediately summoned a council,
Composed of Resquim, Delgado* Ualcoh,
Uavalleri, President Maei and Aveiro. Ev«.
ery member of this so-called council* ex*
cept one* pronounced the story a mere fabs
rication-but Lopez, hearing of the t-eSbll
of the invbsligatioh, exclaimed, ‘Aveiro is
ray only friend,’ and Ordered him to collect
all evidence bearing on the Case. It is nse to
less to say that this infamous Aveiro corns
plied with the wishes of his master* and
did it so strictly that he fjuif.fi often slap*
ped the face of the old woman and beat her
with his sword. AS a Consequence if this
Senorita Carriibi was Condemned to death,
and thd matricidal hand of the tyrant ap
pended to the sentence the ciimpra-hse bfbis
authority.
THE CRUELTY OF LOFeZ TOWARDS HIS MOTHER.
It is believed that this ferocious dispo
sition in the character of Lopez towaids
bis mother was impressed on lifrh by the
influence b’f Mrs. Lynch; who could iifever
forgive her disapproval of her (Mrs.
Lynch’s) relations to her son. This story
was referred to the Count d’Eu by the lady
herself, in the presence of many Brazilian
officers, soldiers aud a number of Paras*
guayans.
DANCING AROUND LOPFZ’s BODY-
A few minutes after the imprisonment of
Mrs. Lynch and the death of her dear Pair*,
cho the body of El Supremo was Drought
in. He had four Wounds, and was bare
footed; his fefe't were the admiration of those
Surrounding the body; stifcli was their deli
cacy dnd fineness. While all Brazilians
were anxiously contemplating the renu*
uants of the man that for five years had
disturbed the peace of four nations for hfs
own selfish sake, some Paraguayan women
who accompanied the party began to dance
around the body. Col. Paranhos ordered
these furies to get off, and the body to be
interred with that of Pancho, as requested
by Mrs. Lynch. Mrs. Lyuch and several
Brazilian officers cut Lopez’s hair, dividing
it among their friends.
A DANGEROUS WOMAN.
All officers of the Brazilians agree that
Mrs. Lynch tea charming, dangerous wo.*
man. Her behaviour after the death of
her paramour has been tempered with a
high tone of delicacy and haughtiness. ‘The
Marshal died as a herd, and as the Chief of
a State ought to die,’ said she, when told
of the particulars of his death. Mrs. Lynch
was sent dowu to Asuncion on board of the Prin
ceza. When she discovered the cUy from on deck
of this steamer, she wept most piteously. She is
going to be sent to Rio Janeiro, according to her
own wishes, and thence to Europe. She has a for
tune of upwards of SIOO,OOO. She said that Ex-
Minister McMahon was the bearer of 3,700 gold
ounces, besides other coinr, and of m ounces, to be
delivered to Emiliano Lopez, now in New York.
One of the surviving sons' of Mrs. Lynch is Leopold
a beautiful boy of four years of age.
The officers of the
LOPSZ STAFF
belong to the lowest strata of mankind. It was
interesting to sw changed their feeling,
and language within five minutes. Besqu.m,

Falcoti, the Secretary of finance of Lopez, wag
among the prisoners. He did not know, and uevef
knew, anything about the disposition of the public
money. He never made any balance of the state of
the treasury—a treasure which only existed on pa
per.
TBS tAS'F'DECiIgE OF LOPKZ.
‘Which was the last decree of Lopez ?’ asked the
Count d’Eu of Falcon.
‘itwisone that I wrote at Ascurra, by his order
making San Francisco Solano the patron of all ar
mies of the State.’
‘What for V demanded the prince.
T fail to know it sir; £1 Supremo had thrki noth
ing to do and remembered this.’
‘Why did you never desert ?’
‘Many a time I wanted to do so, but I have three
children,’
‘Should yofi desert, although you were one of
Lopez’s ministers V
‘Certainly, sir, although his minister. I lived
only on sour oranges.’
While his own ministers depended only for thfeir
living on sndt oranges, Lopez himself, up to a few
months before liiS death, enjoyed all the comforts
of life, and even certain luxuries, which ebutvasted
painfully With the starvation that prevailed among
his people. Coi. Thompson, the Englishman and
aid-de-camp of Lopez, had already written that the
Marshal was a glutton; his statement is fully cor
roborated by his ministers, now in the hands cJ
the allies.
LOPEZ A GLUTTON.
in a tent lined with fine damask and carpeted.
Lopez’s table was daily spread. Himself and Mrs,
Lynch sat down at its head, Having at their side
their physician and an Englishman named Skiu
nell, and at the other head General Resquin add
another chief, although they sat down at the sam e
table, meats were Served separately to Lopez and
his paramour and the rest of his party. Skinnell
declares that he always rose hungry from the table,
but in the meantime he was obliged to appear as if
he had participated in those banquets of Camanche
in which Sancho Panza and Don Quixot used to pay
back to themselves many months of pentiry. Lopez
and Mrs. Lynch alone were allowed to turn good
glasses of Bordeaux, which cost them fifty pata
coons a box, and of excellent Pbifd.
THE END.
Such were tne last scenes of this greatest strug
gle of South America, which under the name of
Paraguayan war, lhat for more than five yeafs held
the attention of the civilized world. Such whs thfe
end of the tyranny that since 1817 has oppressed
that unhappy people—.the ParaguanS.
THE FIRST NEGRO CADET.
Correspondence Os the New York Sun]
West Point, May 25, 1810.— West Uoint
and the entire National Academy were al
most breathless with excitement yesterday.
The son of a colored American citizen ar
rived here in his new role of military Cadet.
There had been rumors that urgro bdys
had beau appointed to the National Acade
my, bht the absolute arrival of an African,
commissioner in hand, is too much for
VfeSt Point human nature to endure.
Aristocratic professors and Jaunty cadets
are speechless. The time/or the breaking
forth of their indignation i9 not yet anived.
They cannot do the subject justice, but
their indignant countenances rind ottiinods
looks indicate the coming storm.
Cadet Master Charles Howard (colored)
comes from the State of Mississippi- Ilis
appointment is from the Secretary of War,
and he Wvots recommended by the Hon- Le*
grand W. Pierce, newly elected member
from the Filh district.
Young Howard is a full black, of sturdy
physique. He measures five feet in hiegbt
(regulation size,) aind is as bright a boy as
was ever B'‘on. His hair is cut tight and
his accent smacks decidedly of the planta
tion.
“What you g’wine to do wid dat bag
sah ?” and “You dud let dat drap,” wad bis
exclamation to a hotel portor who accident*
ly took tip his carpet bag. His tfoSo Is
slightly retrousse and his face shinny with
health, It is settled that he cahuot be Re
jected physically by the Medical Board.
The first Africa# cadet landed from the
ferry-boat with a jaunty air, and, lifting;
his military hat, he inquired for the VVest
Point Hotel. On arriving there he regis»
tered his nafte and asked for a room. For
the first time at this hotel a cadet was re
fused a room. Charles said something
about his rights, and sauntered out on the
campus, he inquired for Col. Jerry Black
the uews ffewover to Col. Black’s who then
there, with Col. Boynton and others, held a
very serious cotiusil of war. The Afiiean
came and stood before thert—before Col.
Black of the regular Army—and respect
fully asked that his equal 11 ty be recoguiz
ed. The Colonel waved him away with
his hand, and one by one of tbe officers de
parted, speechless with amazement.
The white cadets seemed paralyzed. *it
is dreadful” says one. ‘Let us pot the nig
ger iu the river, 1 says another. Some of
them threaten to resign, while others talk
of killing the black boy otrtrighL One
young Democrat from Illinois exclaimed:
•Great God 1 what shall we do ? He
will have to drill with us for four weeks
before the examination, any.way. He will
have to be biljjed.*
One thing is certain, the black cadet is
here. He is undoubtedly physibally quali
fied. He must now drill With the white
cadets until the examination on the SUih
of July; Then he will fall in mental ex
amination, and go back to Mississippi
This is thfi programme, for the examining
officers have power to reject finy applicant.
Gen, SCbfiter and Col. Black are opposed
to the African, aud while they are the
head of the National Acfidemy; the* boy
will remain on the plantation* Judge
Hogc, M. 0. from Columbia, ist toi appoint a
negro, and has already signed a paper of
recommendation; Geb. Butler’s colored
youth was tooyridng, and the General knew
it. He only appointed him for politica
purposes. But in the light of the Fifteenth
Amendment, what shall iVo do with the Af
rican in our National and Naviil Acade
mies, is a grave tjdesticiii for the umegen

“HoW Wonderful is man.”
ThdHoti. A. B. Sinian otriigrtUed from
Netv England with his family, which con
sisted of a wife and mule, at an early day,
and settled on Slim GrCcR; It has been
remarked ill at hedidn't settlb before lie
started, but that Was prejudice.
The Indians were then plenty and cheap,
but be never scared any of them; It is
due to Mr. Sudan to Say he did not pass
through any European college—in fact, he
never went to school in his life;
When the war of 1812 broke out ho was
only one year old* and thereby missed much
of his ear y renown. In 1840 his friends
thought 80 much of him they saw fit not
to elect him to Ibe position of cotinty
sheriff.
In 1845, after an exciting contest he was
fofttinaifi enough to be bealan iu the race
for county commissioner; Though holding
rid public trust, ho was quite prominent in
private trust, and about this time generous*
ly allowed the sheriff to sell his farm
moving to town where lie served his coun
try by tawing weed.
In 1850 the President wanting si Minister
toi France, faded to appoint him* Lut a few
months afteiAvards a rich untile of his died>

The war opened in ’6l* ho liiid asido all
party prejudice* and patriotically volunteers
ed to cbmmahd a regiment ; but tho place
being filled already, he procured a corns
miSsioii as geueral teamster. He drove
well, but failed to drlvo the enemy,' and
being much exhausted by the rigors of the
camp-pain, he went to Washington, where
he offered himself as a Cabinet officer, and
was immediately excxpted. Returning
home ill triumph, be has since been living
in serene retirement —at the poor house.
When we reflect on what this remark*
able mao accomplished, who couldn’t tfrite
his own name, does it not fill us with ah
We Can exclaim : “There is a rriah 1 who
never pocketed the public funds, aud never
drew salary, even for himself ?’’ There is
much iu such a life to coihe*mend. His
farm is still there.
WHAT THE FARMER M<JST KNOW.
The farmer, like the business than, most
knoW what he is doing ; she roust have
some pfetty tfocided ideas of what he is to
accomplish—io fact he rot&t calculate it
beforehand.
He must know his soil—that of each lot \
not only the top, bat of the airtfeoM;
He must also know what grain and grass*
are adapted to each.
He roust know when is the best time to
work them, whether they need summer fal
lowing. .... i.
Ho must know the condition in wWrch
ground must be When plowed; so ! that it be
not too wet or too dry.'
He must know that some grains retjuira
earlier sowing than others, and what those
grains are. ~
He most know how to put them io.
He must know that it pays to have ma
chinery to aid him, as well as ranscle.
• He must know about stocks and manCTres,
and the cultivation of trees ukd small fruits,
