Tns news from the Beat of war on the Parana Is, as neual, contradictory, bnt that received from both Paraguayan and Brazilian eonroes appears to agr e on one point the evacuation of the fortress of Uamaita by the troop3 of Lopez, and its occupation by the Allied forces. The advices from Rio state that the fortress was finally reduced by the starvation prooesa which has been so long under way; that two hundred and fifty cannon, and a large quantity of ammunition and small arms, fell into the hands of the Allies; that four thousand of the retreating Paraguayans had been out off from the main body and surrounded in Gran Chaoo; that three of the Brazilian iron clads had suc ceeded in passing the obstructions on the Parana, and had joined the fleet in the bom baidment of Lopez's position at the mouth of he Tebicuari; in short, that all the indica tions pointed to an early termination of the conflict in lavor of the Allies. From Para guayan sources, it is acknowledged that Ua maita has been evacuated; but it is claimed that all the large guns were spiked and the small stores removed, and that the stronghold was abandoned without the knowledge of the enemy, simply because Lopez had completed his new defensive lines on the Tebicuari. The Paraguayans are represented as being still hopeful that the Allies will not attempt to enter the interior; and that, through their lassitude, the war will soon be terminated in favor of the former. From the beginniog, the coDflict has been one of the most unequal of modern times. The following figures show the resources of the respective combatants, with the number of men furnished by each up to the lit of last April: Rriuare Mm Population. ti)'ni.it'A. lu 000 (Ml 6S 00 1 l,M).tt'W 10 IIHl) 36U,tM)0 4U0U Country.

The history of Paraguay effectively dis proves this theory. Dr. Franoia, the fouuder of the Paraguayan nationality, was a modei despot, who had no sympathy whatever with republican institutions. Under his sway Paraguay became one vast plantation with a population of slaves who were held in com plete subjection to the Dictator or Supremo. lie controlled the entire industry and com merce of the country, and governed it solely in his own individual interests. At his death, in 1840, after having wielded the Dictatorship for twenty-five years, he was succeeded by a Creole named Lopez, who, although he had been obliged to remain hidden away for years, to escape murder at the hands of Fr&noia, adopted in all its details the oppressive policy f his predecessor. Lopez remained in power until 1862, when he was succeeded by the present Dictator of the same name. To arrive at the origin of the present con flict we must go back several years. Rosas, Governor of Buenos Ayres, having usurped the supreme power of the entire Argentine Confederation, contended that Paraguay also owed him allegiance, and to enforce it blocked up the La Plata, thus materially interrupting the commercial enterprises of the elder Lopez. A coalition between Lopez, Brazil, and Uru guay resulted, and after protracted fighting, RosaB was overthrown in 1852, and free com munication established with the ocean. Tbe Paraguay river, like the Parana one of the principal streams which empty into the La Plata, had been previously closed to Brazil by both Lopez and Francia; but the former, in return for the material assistance received at the hands of Brazil, guaranteed henceforth to that power the free navigation of all the stream flowing through his dominions. Advantage was at onoe taken of this concession by the leading commercial powers of the world. But Lopez soon showed his defiance of all treaty stipulations; the Water witch, an Amerioan man-of-war, engaged on a peaceful mission, was Wantonly fired upon and several of her crew killed; Brazilian vessels were refused passage Up the streams, and the Brazilian Minister ordered out of the country; and suoh high handed operations were carried on by the Dictator until a new, but only nominal settle ment of the difficulties was arrived at about the year 1858. As Boon as the present Dictator came into power, he commenced to strengthen his posi tion, with a view to renewing the pretensions of his predecessors. Engineers and war ma terVal were freely imported from Europe, and In 18C4 he struck the first blow by seizing a Brazilian taa.il steamer, and imprisoning at his capital a bomber of Brazilian oflioers, civil, military and naval, none of whom, it ia eaid, have as yet been released. Vessels of war were Bent up the river ana several Brazi lian towns seized upon, without any formal declaration of war; and then the P a.ra?uavan despot fell upon the Argentine Confederation, simply beoause it refused to join him iuMs crusade against Brazil. The pretext presented was the alleged interference of ll.azil in the internal affairs of Uruguay, with the view of annexing that diminutive republic, In order to obtain complete oontrol of the mouth of tht La Plata. General Flores, one of the aspirants to the Presidency of Uruguay, was installed in power by the aid of Brazil; the triple al liance between Brazil, Uruguay, and the Ar pontine Confederation was formed; and in June 18G5 the unequal warfare was commenced io sober earnestness. One artiole of the tripar tite treaty stipulated that the Allies should "not lay down their arms unless by oommoo consent, nor until they have overthrown the actual government of Paraguay;" and in an other artiole it was stipulated that the ultimate intention of the Brazilian Government "shall remain a secret until the principal object of the alliance be obtained." This ambiguous sentence is the only justification for sympathy with Paraguay; but even if it be tbe intention of Brazil to annex or divide Paraguay among the allies, the advocates of justice and true liberty cannot, in view of the oppressive and exclusive despotism of the Paraguayan Dicta tors, raise any reasonable objections. Our readers are already familiar with the progress of the conflict on the banks of the Parana. Paraguay has striven manfully to hold her own, and the heroio devotion of he, soldiers has justly exoited the admiration of he world. But everything has been in their avor. Nearly all of the inhabitants are native Guarani Indians, who are under complete subjection, and when thus restrained they make excellent soldiers. After making two or three unsuccessful attempts at carrying the war into Brazilian and Argentine territory, Lopez retired, as early as September, 1865, behind his elaborate entrenchments on the banks of the Parana, where he has been en abled to hold out for nearly three years, by reason of the marshy nature of the situation and by an occasional bold sally. The Al lies, on the contrary, have had almost insurmountable obstructions to overcome, chief among which has been the fact that they have been obliged to transport nearly all of their supplies and reoruits from Rio de Janeiro by water, a distance of two thousand miles 1 By reason of the slow pro greEB made, dissatisfaction has been ri:e of late, both in Brazil and the Argentine Con federation, and a strong peace party has arisen in each country. But, it the news from Brazilian sources should prove to be true, this ''fire in the rear" will be effectually sup. pressed, and the war will be brought to a speedy termination in the best interests 0 humanity and republicanism. Not to be Poisoned. Tub following handbill was recently postsd on the walls of Helena (Ark.), where it will be remembered that the Freedmen have been especially well organized and prosperous: BAKU BLUE AT LAO ItANG K !

H. N. Hution, Paul. K.' amjkkson, J. 11 lillANDllN, (J Jininlttee. Helena, Angst 10, 1SG3. How are the mighty fallen I We used to hear from the border ruffians that the negroes were not human, and tLat the white man who asserted that they were so only held his due station when ridden on a rail in a panoply of tar and feathers. But now the negro has a vote, and his devoted Democratic brethren urgently invite him to a feast, and beg him to accept either a choice of tables, or, better still, to permit his white brother to sit side by side with him. There would be fun in this if we were at liberty to look merely at the ludiorous position of the repentant ruffians; but there ia a deeper meaning in it; a fact lingers beneath that is a condensation of all the sins and suf fering of the past. The negroes have heard that the meat is to be poisoned and they believe it t The black is the natural friend of his former master; he finds in him a defender against his Northern deceiver; he is ready to rush into his arms: so we hear on every balmy breeze wafted from the homes oi the unreconstructed but it really looks as if it was the master tha't was desirous of rushing into the embrace o the enfranchised slave. Democracy must be having a hard time of it among the freedmen of Helena, and the lead ers have suddenly put their minds and heads into the work of proving the sincerity of their new professions. The instincts of the negro teach him with unerring certainty that their meat will be poisoned by their old pro-slavery enemies, and the suspicion, in a politioal sense, does credit to their sagaoity, for figura tively, if not literally, it is undoubtedly well founded. The end and aim of the Seymour and Blair organization is to give "poisoned meat" not only to the negroes but to the representative of every loyal interest. Judicial Courtesy. A day or two ago a certain attorney, in argu. ing a case before Judge Barnard, of New York city, mildly expressed the hope that they "might get on as expeditiously as possible;" whereupon that distinguished j urist exolalmed : "I get along as expeditiously as I want to. You take care of your business, and I will of mine." It is barely possible that the attorney may have overstepped the limits of forbearanoe in requesting no unnecessary delay; but it ap pears to us that no mere petulancy on the part of counsel should lead a man who occupies a seat upon the bench so far to forget the dig nity of his position as to use suoh insulting language as that which we have quoted. Sub sequent developments in the course of the same case show the mental and judicial calibre of this profound dispenser of justioe. The same attorney endeavored to avert a threatened decision of the Court by reading from one of the Judge's own previous deci sions; and so astounded was Judge Barnard at the views which he had formerly held, that he was constrained to exclaim: "The way you read that opinion, it tears me all to pieces. I will have to take time to look it over." The whole affair is a fitting commen tary on the eflloiency of an elective judiciary, and presents a striking argument in favor of doing away with the system, as we have re peatedly urged. Admiral Farraodt's Retort. We Bee that Admiral Farragut returns to the United States in October. Ilia trip abroad has been a great success, and the money expended in it is wel1 invested. It haa given to Europe a correot idea of the greatness of the naval power of the United States. The grand old officer is just the one, with his splendid war record, to re ceive the honors, and the manner in which he has been received in every port attests the ap preciation whioh the Old World haa of hla services. We can hardly credit the rumors published this morning that a rebellion has broken out in Arkansas, and that arme 1 men have closed the Courts. Bad as we know the condition of tbe South to be, it seems incredible that it should be as bad aa this. If it should prove to be so, we hope it will be suppressed with the strong arm of military power, and all who instigated it be tried, and, if oonvicted, ba executed. There must be an example made, and there is no better time than the present. Vermont holds her State election to- morrow, and for a marvel the Neve York. World is on gtralned to say that "there Is confessedly Utile in a Vermont eleotlon to excite the Interest or enthusiasm of the Democracy," although It appears to think that "one iniy reasonably expect some Democratic crumbs of comfort even from tbe Green Mountain stronghold of the Radicals."
