The AugloBrazUian Times of the 34th of Autccmt sajs: In tho absence of any official despatch re- J:artllnp the affair of the loth of July, the fol owlng account of It hat Interest: At daybreak general Osorio r?celved orders to advance on Humaita. Hardly had oat columns got beyond the ditch, and before they bad passed the piece of entrenchment in front or our advanced batteries, a cloud ef white smoke rose In the horizon, and almost Instantly aorae cannon balls fell on the ground we were march ing over. The enemy was telling ns he was at big post; the place had not been evacuated. Bat no order being received to retire, Ueneral Osorio continued his movements. His army alvanced in the be?t order in spite of the vacuums le t in bis ranks from the corpses and wounded falling from the enemy's shell. The van of the attacking force was composed of the Fourth, Thirteenth, and Thirty-ninth battalions, of a contingent of sappers, and of the First corps of the Klo (Jraude cavalry. The General and his staff fallowed behind the explorers, that is, In front of the column of attack. The other battalions and cavalry corps took positions (or the ustenta'iou of the van, or to take part lu the combat according as circumstances would require. From the first opening ot the enemy's fire his artillery never ceased for a moment to tbrow missiles corresponding to the distance. Grape rained on our columns as soon as they were within ranee. At that moment the com bat was formally undertaken. The General, beside bis soldiers, threw himself upon theeuemy's entrenchments, exhorting his men to valor by bis example and his words. Meauwh'le the prape and musketry gave no truce. In fact, as the head of our column advanced by a delle betweeu two deep and wide lakes it suddenly became compromised betweeu the sldej of a re entering angle whose extremes were the vertices cf two other salient ant-le.-, each defended by three cannon, whose cross tire whs augmented by musketry and by other cannon placed at the sides of re-entering parallels to the principal entrenchment, composed of a wide tosse and a high parapet, and It encoun tered a wide ante-fosse, a line of abttis, and between the two a network of pits. The vehicles carrying the material for the assault failed in great part to come wahlu reach of the asRRllants because of the darkness when they set out and because of the frightening and slaughter of the animals by the enemy's fire. After cutting up a picket of twenty men, the First cavalry dismounted at the ditch and silenced the artillery ot one of the angles. The Infantry, however, notwithstanding Its uuhewd ot efforts, could not gain ground, owing to the Wide gaps opened In them by the enemy's tire. When Osorio saw his soldiery shaking he ad vanced in parson, forget'ul of danuer, whither bis military honor called him. lie wished to declare with his blood, perhaps with his life, the impotence of valor against such formlJable obstacles. A Budded spark of enthusiasm electrified the ranks as they saw him grandly and imposingly enter a cloud of smoke wherein active and luexorable Death was reaping with bis funeral scythe. A generous and sublime impulse impelled the soldiers that still remained on foot, and all advanced. The enemy redoubles bis efforts. It is the crhis of the struggle. Tho General's horse falls, Bhot through. Dismounted, the General seizes the musket of a dead soldier beside him, aims at and shoots an artillerist In the act of pushing a cartridge into a caunon. Enthusiastic at his example, his stall surrounded him at the ditch's side. Major Joao Ramos, to Whom the General gave his lance, dies while thrusting it into the entrenchment. Brandao falls with his skull riven by a grapeshot. Dias lies insensible on the ground. Adjulant-Ceneral Tarouco receives a ball, to die of it some hours alter. Ilia adjutants, Aprodisio and Lapa, and his orderly aud cornet, are beside him, lifeless. Dionysio Amaro and bilva are contused. The latter receives a ball, and two others plough his neck and hand: the former has the skin ot his stomach out by a grapeshot. Pires loses a horse; he jnmps on another; a round-shot traverses it, throws it into the air, and dashes the rider far awav, bruising his limbs severely. Kodrlgues, brave as the bravo, in reepcolod by b bmllm. rtJCUa, Osorio, and Torres are likewise miraculously saved, aud are the only ones yet standing. Young Ensign Rocha Osorio, nephew to the General, and commanding a picket, rushes forward with his little squadron, aud receives a wound in the arm while sticking his lance into the enemy's bulwark; of the twenty or so body guards of the General only five remain: the rest are dead or wounded. The commanders of the 4th and 3!Hh are decapitated; the Majors of the 4th aud 10th are killed. General Osorio, being recocnized by the enemy, was the taraet for their shots; three or four balls tore his clothes without touching htm. Eniign Koch . Osorio rushes to the Geueral, and snatches tU carbine from him, brings him a horse, ani obliges him to mcuut. By this time lbs Field Adjutant, sent to the Mar quis de Caxias for orders aud to com muaicate the state of the fight, the losses endured and the resistance of the enemy, returns with1 the re Kpone that O3orio might do the best he could. The General, selng the garrison of the entrench ment getting stronger every moment, under stood ihat the enemy was concentratlug his forces there, he not beiug troubled at other points. To sacrlSce more men would be useless, woull be fruitless. The reconnoissance by main lorci bad been made, the entrenchment attacked, and the order of the General-in Cnlef accomplished. At a cost of nine or ten hundred men killed and wounded the system of the enemy's entreuch rnents was ascertained, together with the obstacles they presented. An appropriate ob servation suggests itself: Osorio had not an engineer with him to make a plan of the work attacked. The retreat of General Osorio was effected in the same order as the attack, according to those precepts of tactics of whose knowledge he has shown himself possessed, giving thereof pre viously an evident proof In his reconnoissance of the Fort of Ksplnilla, which was rej-orted one of the most brilliant aud regular operations of the war. Of the fifteen officers of the battalion of engineers which entered into action nine were killed or wounded. Admiral Inhanma explains why only six iron clads were sent past Humaita, and the com parative inaction ot them, as arising from the extreme difficulty of supplyiLg them with coal, munitions, and other supplies. Although ths railway made did good service it was only temporary, owing to the rise of water over it. In sending up three more iron clads upon the 21st cf July, he was iuduced by the belief that no further lise of the river was to be feared, and by the knowledge that much ariillery had been removed from Ilumalta, and that from this and other similar reasons little risk would be run by the lron-clads then sent up, as proved to be the case. The cannon found in Hamaita numbered 177. The largest was a 120-pounder ritte, aud the others varied from 82-pjunders down, exclusive ot a 10-inch mortar. The Paraguayans are known to have had another 120 pounder rifle, but it is supposed to be out of sight in the river, along with many others ironi the river batte Ties. Three e-pounder rocket tubes wero also got. Few muskets were left behind, and of these most were flint locks with broken stocks, bome others had been got out of the river Ammunition was very abundant, and about GOO to the piece existed when the Paraguayans evacuated. Most of the cartridges had been thrown into the ditches and watercourses. The lantern shot, whether tin case or hlde-covereJ, as chiefly composed of fragments of shells thrown In, of pieces of chain, of hoop iron, of oroken nttilg and screws, etc.. all very rusty, in one ot twenty-pound calibre a small hatchjt was found, mi Wnctl lhe Brazilian engineer considers verv shurp practice. b In the battery ou the Chaco twenty-four cannon were found, two of them mortars. Oae braes piece bore the dat0f 1871 another 1GS1 others 1774, 1795 1800, aWSe.ffie t cannon was one C8 pounder. -"fetst The boom which was so long an insnnerahln obstacle to the ascent i of the Bra"" S consisted, in the middle, of two chain, Qr two Inch Iron, one of which had parted, two hun dred and fifty yards in length, and another of three-quarter inch irou two hundred and eighty iht yards Jong.- These central chains were secured at tho extremities to seven and three-quarter-Inch chains fastened around piles driven in at the sides of the liver, and had been kept afloat bv Iron tanks and by flats; but the latter having Wen snak the tanks were drawn down by the weight of ths chains, and so allowed the vessels to pass over. A formal act of opening the river, by rutting loose the boom, was drawn up upon the 27th, and the boom was divided Into three equal parts, one of which was sent to the capital ot each of the allies, "as a tropoy commemorative of one ot the boldest feats la the present century." At the Ilumalta side the boom passed Into the river through a tunnel cut to the water's edge. Ilumalta is describe! as In'erlor In Its por tion and its construction to Curupalty. , The form Is an Irregulsr. almost circular polygon, with a perimeter of some seven and a halt miles length, mounted with about two hundred can non. The works follow the conrse which the nature of the terrene pointed out and rendered so defensible. The ditch is sixteen feet wide and thirteen deep, in general. The parapet is six and a half feet wide, and, on the side of the allied populous, is sustained Inside by trunks of palms, and shows situs of age. The glacis Is natural, and the abattis on it was of little strength, being merely boughs of trees without connection or fastenings, without combination with the pallssade, or protection by terrcpleioe from projectiles. Ths line that was op posed to the allied armies Is covered with salient angles to give cross firs upon assailant. On the south side the works are naturally defended by lakes which cover them to the river. On this side only small can non were placed and the abattis was only a sham of brauchei". On the river side the best works and the heaviest cannon are found. The former consist of tix large and well-coustructed batteries, ot which the London" battery is the only one casemated. This one Is 160 paces loner, with a parapet eight paces thick, all of masonry. No large central redoubt existed inside the for tress: It baa Inside a very large exercise ground, round which buildings were ranged with bar rsck room for six thousand men. Furniture was got In all, and in the odicers' houses quan tities of preserves, oil, wines, and pickles were left behind. As the buildings were in comparatively good condition all the hospitals and deposits were being removed from Corrieutes to It, and it will be the basis of future operations. To evacuate Ilumalta the Paraguayans had elehty or one hundred boats, and the evacua tion was going on for a week before it was com pleted. First the families were removed, then the elck, the prisoners, a large quantity of munitions, the remainder of tho food, and finally tho garrison, the outposts being main tained to the last mouent to deceive the allies. In regard to Humaita, General Gelly y Obes says that it has no importance as a strategic Iiolnt now, and that Pilaris the most convenient or deposits; that Humaita is worth very little as a work of art or fortress now that iron-cla Is are used; that it avails against wooden vessels because nature makes its position strong; but even so it id easy to undo. The Tidal riienomena of the Earthquake. One of the most striking of the phenomena attending earthquakes is the effect produced on tbe sea by these convulsion, especially when the earthquake Is near the shore. In an earthquake there is an undulation ot the solid crust of the earth, and tbe influence of this earth wave being communicated to the sea, causes the latter to swell and retire from the beach, and the great wave rolls in upon the shore. This is frequently tbe case in the Immediate locality of the earth quake; but It sometimes happens that the influ ence ot the disturbing agencies upon the sea extends to a considerable distance from the place where the earthquake occurs. The late terrible earthquake furnishes some curious and highly interesting facts bearing upon these points facts well worthy the attention of scientific men. In this earthquake tbe sea was terribly agitated along the whole western coast of South America, and along the northern coast of the same side of the continent, as well as on the shores of tbe tiaudwich Islands, the disturbance of the ocean consequent on tbe subterranean convulsions was sensibly experienced. In Peru several of the ports were submerged by mountain waves rolliug in from the Pacific with terrible violence, sweeping awav everything before them. Onthe Southern COaSt Ol 1JUIH, at Tilatuuaa., .., -., distant fully fourteeu hundred miles from Arica, at about 11 o'clock on tbe night ot the 13th of August, that is about six hours alter the catas trophe in Peru aud Ecuador bad taken place, a great tidal wave swept into the bay, submerging a greater part of tbe town ot Tulachuana and Tome. But, more remarkable still, tidal phe nomena of a similar character to those which appeared on the Southern coast of the coutment showed themselves on tbe coast of California, at a distance of nearly four thousand miles from Peru. Thus a letter appears in the Los Angeioa Slar, from a Mr. B. Hewitt, describing a tidal phenomena witnessed at Wilmington, (southern California, on the 14th of August, at about 7 o'clock on the morning of that day. He says: "The tide was observed to be running in with unusual velocity for about fiiteca minutes, and then to suddenly turn and run out for about tbo 6ame length of lime, with the same unexampled rapidity. It is now 9 o'clock in the evening, aud the 6arae running in and running out, at intervals of from 15 to 25 minutes lor each direction, has been going on since it was first observed this morning. Captain Polhamus, of tbe steamer Cricket, iutorms me that in crossing the bar to-day he observed the water fall five feet in eight minutes, and to immediately rise the same number of feet in the same space of time. Another unexplalnable peculiarity of this never-before-heard-of tidal freak is that the water from tbe sea would rua upon one side of the channel and down on tbe other side at the same time." The same day irregularities la the tides in the Oakland creek were noticed by several persons. The tide alternately rose and fell, and it was observed at the foot ot Washington street, in Oakland, that while drift wood floated toward the mouth of the creek the water was gradually rising. On the morning of the 13tb, according to a telegram from San Fraucisco, which appeared at tho time in the Tribune, a series of waves commenced flowing upon the coast off San Pedro, causing the tide to rise 63 or 64 feet above the ordinary high water mark, which was followed by the falling of the tide an equal distance below the usual low water-mark. The rise and fail occurred every half hour for several hours. Tuus it appears that the tidal upheaving produced by the earth quake traveled nearly 4000 miles in about thirty six hours. The Opium Trade. "Carleton" writes from Calcutta to the Boston Journal: "By far the most important article yielding revenue in India is opium. It is a Government monopoly. The poppies from which the opium is manufactured are grown in the valley of the Ganges, near Patna and Dinapore. There is a sale of the drug at Calcutta on the Uth of every month, where there is an excitement equal to that otthe New York gold room when gold is on arise. Tbettadeis mainly in the hauds of tho native merchants, who rush into opium specu lation recklessly. Everything about the drug seems to be intoxicating. All your readers know that England went to war with China to force the sale of the deadly drug upon the people ot that country. Tbe sale last year yielded a clear revenueof thirty-five million dollars to the India Government, aud tbe Minister of Finance, Mr, Massey, with great glee, announces in his budget for tho ensuing year, that the iucieased sales will yield a profit of forty-one million seven hundred and fiity tbouiand dollars. "The time is near at hand when tho treaty between England aud Chiua is to be revised, aud (he opium question is under discussion. The Chinese government and the Anglo-Europeans in that country are opposed lo a continu ance of its sale. One of the leading opium houses in China has addressed a memorial to the Governor of houg Kong on the subject, setting forth the beneiits arising from the use of tbe drug. They say: 'Opium eating tsiot a curse, but a comfort and benefit to Vha hard working Chinese. As well say that malt is a curse to the English laborers, or tobacco to tha world at large. Misuse is one thing, use another. If to a few the opium pipe has proved a snare, to many scores of thousands ou tho other band has it beeu productive of heulthful sustentution and enjoyment.' "This nieaioiial has been answered by those who have bad an opportunity of witnessing" tha use of the drug in China, which presents a most revolting picture ot the degradation, emula tion, the skeleton figures, wet-ping, slobbering, ever restless, tormented by terrible visions of devils and hobgoblins, unless under the influ ence of the drug. The love for the drug Its consumption in China is on the Increase. iThe India Daily Anct, of this morning, in an art.cle upon tbe question, cajs that the consumption is increasing In England; that the numbers using It will be likely to Increase when It is main tained that it Is beneficial to health, and to be ranked with beer and tobacco. The China Gov ernment Is as bit tetly ooposed to its use now as it was ten years aga. It is destroying the peo ple, takes away forty million dollars per annum, giving an equivalent of poverty, degradation, and death. But bavins the mononolv.' the British Government will not relinquish such a Jrlncely revenue - on moral considerations ust yet." INDIGO BLUE.
