Tbe "War in Paraguay Fall YIlleta-A Bloody Engage ment The New Amcri- of can Minister. The New York Tribune' t correspondence from Buenos Ajres (Dec. 17) Is to the loliowiug cflcct: The nioft important event of the past month Lbs bctn tbe capture of the fatncuiiyan strong hold of Villettt by the allies, news of which event was icceiveil here a lew da vs ago. From the accounts that have come to hand this suc cess has been ctcurly won. Tue po.isi-s.don ot VillctA was uot salued t)y n siuglo battle, but bj a series of eanuumrj Dalits extending over a period of tix days. On the Cih of December the allies piisseil over to the left bank ot ihe l'arugutty aud commenced thuir advance npou Villeta; but eatly ou the nioruiug of the CtU they were attacked by a force of 0OUO Paraguayan undtr the immediate command ot Lope himself, aud n niur Jcrous rinnxcmeut ensued, lu which both sidas euU7cii-d heavy losses. Ou the iuOHt moderate calculation, the total killed amounted to 3000, and the losses iu Brazilian officers were very cou-idemble. Caxias had one lioree killed under him, and another wounded; General Machado was killed; Argollo oancroufly wounded, besides six colonels and about sixty otlioers placed hors J e combat. The i'ariiguiijaus were eventually repulsed. Lopei retiring withia the fortiricu tions with the main body of his force. The next day there was another bharp tight with & portion ot the Paraguayan army. Ou the llh Cn.ias ordeied a general advauce oq the heights ot Villeta, when another bloody battle took place, the Brazilians losing 000 men iu killed; but the heights were at length curried at the point of the bayonet. On the 12th Caxias again pushed on to a place called lvahy, un ugly pass a little beyond Villeta, where the Paraguayans had made a stand. The Brazilhtn cavalry, Hushed with vlctury, charged in splendid style, look the phss, with the guns mounted, and thus completetTthe capture ot Villeta. and treed the road to Angostura. An olllclul telegram from Mmsliul Ciixins states that in this last tight 1(1 pieces of artillery aud 000 prisoners, among them many stall ollicers, were captured by the Allies. Other advices are to the effect that the enemy's loss, on the whole, is 0000 men iu killed and wounded, and that not a man ot those who garrisoned Villeta escaped, except Lopez aud his body-guard. Hut this must be taken with reserve. Lopez is believed to have retreated towards Luque, in tbe interior. It was expected that the A lies would move upou the fortress of Angostura on the 13th ot Decem ber. With the tall of that place the river will be open to navigation, and with the assistance of .the iron-clads there will be no dtuiculty in occupying Asuncion. The news of the victories was received here with great papular rejoicings, and it.ls generally believed thrit the war draws to an end; but there arc not a few whs fear that these sanguine anticipations of its speedy termination are doomed to be disappointed. Angostura being a place ot great, natural ad vantages lor defense, and being strocply forti fied, tidings of the result of the meditated attack upon it are awaited with much anxiety. Marsh 'il Caxias has addressed a despatch to the Brazilian Minister of Foreign AfJa'rs rela tive to the coriespondence which ex-Minister Washburn caused to be published, treating of the alleged cotispiiacy against Lope and the nets ot violence said to hae been committed by the Paraguayan Government in counoctiou with that otl'air. The Marshal denins that the letters quoted by the Paraguayan ministers, Herges aud t araveras, were wiitteu by him, and says that in his opinion such depositions as aic given iu the correspondence implicating him iu the alleged conspiracy were either ui'ver made, or that they were extorted from the de. ponents by means of the most barbarous cruelty and tortures, lie adds that upou his arrival at the theatre of war he saw that the Allies could not possibly obtain advantages in the conflict to w hich they were pledged, uulcss by means of arms, aid that although in any other country ho would not have hesitated to promote a reac tion nmorg the people against the enemy, he was all along convinced it would be useless to nuke such an attempt in Paraguay. General McMalion, the newly-accredited United fetates Minister to Paraguay, alter spend ing a short time in this city, left for Asuuc on, in company with the American Admiral, on the 23d ulf. It is rumored that he is expected to return here this week, which leads to the sup position that he has not been successful in his mission. Ma'-termau and bliss arc reported alive aud well. MURDER WILL OUT. A Nonsintloii Iu ArtittW Ufa .1 M.rf i'Ioiim Orlnio .Commuted .Neveiitceu Yearn Ago. The following account Of a mysterious mnr. der, committed seventeen yearn ago, and ttie recent discovery of the murderer. In given by the Loudon Daily News It would furutsh a wonderful theme for elaborallou as a seusa tlorjal novel of the period: 'The lapse of seventeen years aud a half has not erased from the recollection of the lnnuut lanta of the city of Norwich the frightful sensa tion wblch they experienced In the year of trie lireat Kxbllilllon. Ou Haturday, tbe 21st of June, 1H61, a young man named Johnsou was out waiuluii in a luue auout a uiiie iroui jxor wlcb, ucvoiupuDied by his dog. Tbe dog whs ranging a neighboring plantation, aud foun t there a piece ol carrion, wulcU he brought out , i n tbe road, and with which he immediately ran home, OuJohusou'a arrivul at home he was hoi rifled to fee thai the piece of Uesb the animal had found was a humuu hand. Heat once gave notice to tbe notice, aud the planta tion was thoroughly searched, and severalolher plecea of llesh were found. Oa the next day, Kunday, a foot was f nnd In thepluutatiou, aud aoine ot the vertebra were discovered hid Jen la a saw pit. A black Ntriped waistcoat, some cot ton waste, such as la used In cleaning machi nery, hut bmeared with blood, and u roller mica aa la Ufct-d by the Norwicil weavers, were also found. "On sneeeedlni ilars other puns were dis covered now In a field on one side of tue to wo, then In an entirely opposite direotlou; and at lengtiil the whole district was suarjiieJ, the rivers were dragged, auduiuall pieces of nuinan flesh, evidently carved In slices from a body, were fouud almost everywhere. Kigbt days after I lie tlrst dlscovtry, port Ions of tbe viscera were found In a sewer, cut uo luto pieces three lnebealong; tbe pelvis bad bueu previously discovered, a leg bone picked up, and a bluett velvet bonnet, whleb hud evtdeally been tbe property of a person In respeotable clrcum ataiiots, found lu the Vaie. Ou oueoocstou Eaita ofthebecly were found iu sputa whioii ad previously been ourelully searched aud it was evident that they bad been pUeed there Bluce tue first diaoovery. Home ol the plecea had been soaked lu wuter: iraoes of deodorizing liquid were found in otbera, and, though uo part ot the body could be restored auitleiently to allow of an Inquest belug held, inavy of the scattered pari tbua broutcat together attain tilled autlioteutly to show that they bad formed portion of on orgauiz tttou. It waa aaid by the doctors that the body was that of female from alxteeu to twenty sli; that she had been dead a fortnight, aud that she waa in good health wbeu death nely.ed her, It waa concluded ly the police and by the public that a murder bad been committed; that the murderer had taken this atrange method of dUrotdug of the body bit by bit, and that he waa actually at bis work still disposing of it in out of-the-way plaoea alter the discovery had been made, and while the aearoU waa diligently hoIhk on. ! he ulhorlllea were convinced that a mur der had been committed, and, a usual laaucu eaten, they received numerous applications and Inquiries from persons whose friends were missing, but they entirely failed either to Iden tify the body or to discover a trace of the mur derer. At one peth :d of the Investigations a young man, who had been heard to make a mysterious observation on the murder, was ai rested as an accessory; but the evidence egalnat him amounted to nothing, and he was uncharged. thoiiKh the polloe kept a watchful eye npon him till they, in common with tbe public, lorgot tbe matter, 'Ihe people were not long iu forgetting it. "ihe authorities, however, beliovlng that 'murder will out,' kept the evidences ;of the crime in apii lta of wlue, that they mlgnt be forthcoming whenever they mlgiit be wanted. It was believed that a murder bad been com mitted, and that a young woman was tbe vic tim; but only one thing was held to be satis, tuctorlly proved, and mat wag that tho mur dered female was not an inhabitant of .Norwich at t he time of her decease. "Seventeen years and a half passed by, and not a ray of light had been thrown npou tbe myaleiy up to Haturday last. On that day a telegram from London informed the Norwich magistrates that a respectable Inhabitant of their city had made a voluntary confession that be had murdered his wife on the 15th of Jnue, 1851, by cutting her throat; that the body was cut ut), and some portions preserved In spirits; and lliat t hey would know all about it at Nor wich. This precisely tallies wltb tho facts of the bAlt-lorgotten mystery. The date is six daj s before the first discovery of the hand by Mr. Johrs'. u's dog, and accords singularly wUtt themiess which the medieal men made during the succeeding week as to the limn whhb had elapsed since the body was all veand Leollhy. It Is at once admitted by those who were concerned In the Investigation that no'Jody suspected Hheward. A quiet, inoffensive, and lospectable citizen, be was going about among them, actually disposing of the mangled pieces ot bia wife's body, while they were discussing what the frightful mysteiy could moan. How it came about that the disappearance of Mrs. bheward was never marked, or that, being marked, it was satisfactorily accounted for to her friends and nelghbois, does not yet appear. At tbe time he seems to have given it out that she was gone on a lourney, and to have been believed atouce. II ut how did he account for her non-return? Did be give it out that sle bad died on her Journey, or that she nad made one of those sensational disappearances of which we ofteu heai? lie seems at any rate to have lived free from all suspicion, and as he spoke of this victim as bis first wlte, it is to be presumed that be even married again, and car ried bia frightful secret all through the festivi ties of a bridal, "How it was that nobody ever put together the two fac's of Mrs. Hheward's disappearance and tbe rinding of a female body, aud how tho authorities arrived at the mlsletdlhg certainty that nobody living In Norwich had been slain, remains to be seen. A respectable women cer tainly disappeared Just at the itme that tbe re mains of oue were found; it was understood that her busb nd said she was gone on a long journey, and he was believed. 8be never came back, and no Inquiry was made, but whatever tale her husband told was again taken on trust; and It now turns out that the husband was the muiderer for whom tbe police were searching, aud that tbe hideous relics In their hauds were all that remained of oue wno had been their neighbor und friend." THE UMOLX ASSASSINATION. Hie Confcnglousof Arnold nnrt Atzerodt. The recent publication In the American ot the confessions of A'zerodt and Arnold has at tiacted great attention, nnd have been copied iu alt tbe leading papers of the oouutry. Wo stated at the time or their publication that copies of these confessions bad been in tbe bands of the Government from the time or their being made, ai d that the trial of John H. Hurratt being abandoned, we now felt at liberty to publish them for the general information of the publics, tbe orlglaals, in tue baud writing of the prlsonei s. being our possession. Wo also thought that, in view of tbe announced inten tion of Burratt to publish an autobiography, iu which he will daubtleKS attempt to clear him self of all participation iu the assassination, that tbe testimony of Atzerodt, made volunta rily a few hours before his execution, was spe cially important. The Baltimore Sun, which has been the spe cial champion of Hurratt, the Uurratt family, and all conneoled directly or lndlreotly with ihe assassination, copied from our columns the confession of Arnold, but failed to publish that of Atzerodt. Tbe Confession of Atzerodt im plicated Uurratt not only lu the assassination, but In all the plots of the assassins, wnicu was doubtless the cause of the Hun passing It over with merely an allusion of its being oon fused and uncertain on this point. As to fietr pub lication at this time, the, Sun adds, "With what motive no one Deed care to inquire," whilst the Philadelphia J 'res Imputes their publication to r desire to create sympathy for the prisoners at the Dry Tortugas, and enoouratce President Johnson in his evident iuteutlon to pardou them. The 7Vf even goes further than this, and very foolishly contends that the confes sions are forgei its, gotten up ior the purpose, and that "they are designed to dra wolf" atten tion from the real crime and Us perpetrators, and substitute a clouded comprehension of w hat actually took place." As to tbe confessions themselves, we hwe known their existence and been aware of their contents from the day they were taken, and have several times applied for permission to publish them. This, however, oould not be ob tained until a few days sluoe, when we imme diately laid them before the public. Tbe confession of Atzerodt, which the Sun declined to publish, the New York Times says must explode . like a bombshell in Hurratt's little project of exculpating himself. Made voluntarily in bis cell the night before his exe cution, this confession may be regarded as void of Interested motives in what it tells against Wurralt testimony quite different from that of the latter gentleman's ' forthcoming biogra phy," which, as we are told, is to be Irresistible rjy i'B -eviueni canuor. Arnolu's testimony (he Is now at' tbe Dry Tortugas, being acquitted of direct participa tion iu the muuler of President Lincoln) Is Ibbs danifiglnir. it only goes to show thai Hnrratt was John W. Booth's confidant and "pal:" "Be was alwayn prtwned wlth.baslnesn with man, unknown to us then, by the name of John Hurrau; most of bis ( llaotn's) lime was spent wltb him. We were left entirely lu tlmdark, we thus lived for nenrly iwo month, seeing him perhupi three or fcur times during the week, and, wiien teen, always but for a short time. bavtn still pressing business always oa baud, viz : to see John burratt,'1 This confession was made voluntarily four days after tbe assassination. At.erodt's confession is more pointed. "I bad not seen John burratt." he says, "for about eight days before the murder. Booth told me a few days before tbe murder that he was iu Washington." Afierwards, on the same subject, he adds: "ilootii told me that Furratt was In the Herndoa House. On llie ulh'1,1 of the murder, ihe Hih ol April, we were not altogether at the Herndun House, boo b told me tsurrali was to help at the box; that hm ex pected others In the box. B loth wool from the I fern don House down Ninth street. 1 he word ol Monti wert: 'I saw Murratt a tew moments ago.' All the parlies appeared to be eiKUKel at something on that bight, and were uot together." We have no doubt that Hurratt will make all this quite clear in his "forthcoming biography." Meanwhile, however, it will give hlra a chance to exercise his ingenuity, In order that he may contribute to what Commissioner (MM oalls "the truth of history," tiultiinore American and Gawtte o pnlcnlay. HESTER VAUQWAN. UOferuor leiry'a Kecent SliUciueut lto littive to Her Cuvtte, The New York World of this momlnir aay: It turns out at last that Governor Geary 'a reply to the New York Heater Vauxhan meeting waa an apocrypha to conceal Philadetphian brotherly lu JHlerence. His alatement was not true that any Interest bad been shown In her ciue by Philadelphia men, women, or children, who yet swarmed like bees about the brutal black ravlsher confined in the same city. Two women, and two only, visited Hester Vaughan betore tbe New York meeting, aud one of these waa Husan A. Smith, M. D., to whom, as she herself alleges, no confession of guilt waa ever made by Hester, though we were told, when the Governor triad to shield Philadelphia with bis apocryphal statements, that confession had been made to Dr. 8m) th and Uovernor Ueary'a private secretary. Hester Vaughan denies to Dr. Huaan A. Kuril b that she ever confessed guilt to anybody, and asuerU her innocence now as she always haa done. It appears that (Jov rnor Ueary biinaeU l now to be hanged. NEW ZEALAND. Terrible A (roc men of the Savages The Mannacre of Neuters, The New Zealand papers give detailed ao counts of the dreadful massacre of settlers, In cluding men. women, and children, and a num ber of friendly natives, in anight attack on the settlement of Ma taw hero, 1'overty Bay, by a party of tbe Hau Haus, wbo recently madethelr escape from the Chatham Islands. On the iOlh of November they suddenly attacked tbe settlement at Malawbero, near Turanganul, In Poverty Bay, the place where Captain Cook first lauded in New Zealand. At 3 o'clock in the morning the Hau Haus attacked Msjor Plggs' bouse. The Mijor, hearing a noise outside, went to the door to see who waa there. The reply was o voliev.whloh, however, only wounded the Mnlor. He called out to awaken bis family, and told them to run for their lives, as tbe house was attacked by Hau Hans. One little boy, Charlie, managed, by crawling underneath the verandah boards, to escape out Into the flax iu the immediate n Ighhorhood of the house, from whenoe he saw the whole proceedings, Mejor Biggs was held down on the grouud while tuey smashed bis head in with tbelr muskets, Mrs ltlgs being held near and forced to see the brutality. 8 he, a baby, and the nurse were subsequently murdered. The boy Cnarlle inanxged to escape to a house a short distance off, where Mrs. Bloom field, tbe widow of a captain in the army, wilh ber four children, was living, and, giving tbe alarm, tbe Inmates immediately ran for their lives to the redoubt at Turanganul. Other residents' were not so fr tuoBte. Mr. Wilson's house wan at tacked, and he, bis wife, aud four children were murdered. House after bouse was thus vlsltf d by these savages and destroyed, the in mates being put to death in many instances with (rightful tortures, A Mrs. Mann was dragged uy the hair of ber head outside ber house and then burnt to death. Some few of the settlers managed to esoape to Tnrungannl, from whence they went in two small coming craft, which happened to pass the bay at tho time, to Napier and(Aucklaud. Tbe following la a list of the murdered, so far Major Biggs, wife, child, and servant, 4; Cap tain Wilson, four children, and a man servant, ti; Messrs. Dodd and Peppard and two meu ser vants, 4; Mr. Padbury, 1; Mr. Cadle; 1- Mr. Mann, wife, and child, 3; Lieutenant Walsh, wl e, and child, 8; Mr. MoUullood, wife, child, and niece, 4; two of Mr. Goldsmith's children, 2; Mr. Katnbone, 1; Mr. It. Newoham, wife, child, ana man servant, 4; friendly natives, about 20. Every house in the settlement was destroyed, crops, stock, arid everything gone; In fact, oue of the most prosperous little settlements ou the Kast coast has thus been blot ted out of the map. Those wbo have escaped have done so in a state of perfect desritui ion. Oue poor woman, the wife of Captain Wilson, after being stabbed seven or eight time with a bayonet, and left lying senseless, and It was supposed dead, mannged, when tbe fiends had left her bouse, to crawl into a neighboring swamp and bide her self. She was, with the exception of her night dress, completely without clothing, and so she remained for seven or eight days. One ef ber Utile children, a noble Utile fellow only eight years old, who had managed to escape lrom tbe bouse, found her thus ou the evening of the massacre, and kept her alive on eggs which be hunted about for. At length, after making several ineffectual attempts, he succeeded in reaching Turanganul, a distance of seven miles, across a country that be bad never before travelled. Here be found Captain Westruppsnd a small guard, besides some of the settlers wbo had escaped to the redoubt, and assistance was immediately sent out to the poor lady, who was sent down to Npler. and is now ao far recovered as to be out of danger. INCIDENTS OF TUB MASSACHff. Goldsmith, a stockman ou Captain Head's station, beard firing at an early hour on Tues day morning, in the direction of Mr. Mann's bouse, ard saddling a horse, at once galloped off to the spot. Coming suddenly npon the house he bebeld a most dreadful spectacle. Tue Hau Hau demons were dragging Mrs. Mana out of the door by the hair of the head, and striking her, and upon getting her outside they were proceeding to set Are to ber olotbes, whou some of them catching sight of Uoldsmlth, made a spring at the bridle of his horse. Uold smlth, however, being an excelleut rider, put spurs to his horse aud rode right over some of the wretches. Tbe losses sustained by station-holdors and settlers by this bloody foray will probably be most extensive. A careful search was rewarded by the dis covery of tbe bodies of tbe native scouting par ties, all fearfully und brutally misused. Poor Karaltlana bad been tomahawked, and his beert and liver torn out and probably eateu; he was spilt open as a butcher opens a sheep. All the bodies were stripped naked. SOMETHING NE W. A Boston BlolavMaea Ship. A few weeks since we stated that tue Atlanllo Works, of Last Boston, were building au iron brig designed to carry molasses In bulk, aud have now to report that she will be launched lrom the Ulendon Kolling Mills Wharf, on Saturday forenoon at high water. Bhe Is lot) feet long on tbe keel, 110 on deck, has 37 feet breadth of beam. 11 feet depth of hold, and will register about 356 tons. Her dead rise at half lloor is 8 inches, and she has Huflioleut swell and sheer to impart an air of lightness to her general outline. All ber accommodations are on deck, and consist ol a trunk cabin, a house (or the crew, galley, and some stntll storerooms, leaving the hold entirely clear f r cargo. Her ribs are of angle iron, 8 by 3 lushes and three-eighths of an inch thick, wilh reverse bars of 2i by 2$ and 5 ltiiha of au inch thick, and are 21 inches apart. Tue floors are 18 Indies deep, the stem aud stern post are solid, and the plating varies from 9-10 lbs to three-eighths of an inch in thickness, closely riveted with Pem broke irou. Hbehas seven circular tauks secured on an iron platform and braced from the sides, aud these are all connected with one another In such a manner that they can be either united or disconnected at pleasure. Tbelr combined (opacity Is 'JO, tJOO gallons. Oa tbe top of each there is a turret J,q allow for expansion, and also over each tbert is r. hatchway, so that they can be examined arouud, above and below, at at all times, 8be has a powerful steam pump by which to discharge, and it Is estimated that in six hours her cargo can be pumped out. At the place where she will discharge in Boston there is a tauk to receive ber cargo. Tho sav ing in casks, cooperage, and leakage will be vety great, and lu tbe course of a few voy ages will make up tbe difference in the ex pense of such a vessel compared with one of wood. Besides the tanks, she has considerable space in the wings and In ihe ends to stow any out ward cargo that may be required to ballast her, and even if theexperlmentof carry lug molasses should fall, bllll the tanks can be taken out without difficulty, and she will even then ba none the less a serviceable vessel. But we do not believe tbe experiment will full, but ou the contrary will be entirely successful, and that after she has made a few voyages others will be built like her. Bhe is brig rlpged, is a good-locking vessel, and we have no doubt will prove a swift sailer. Captain Havener, who Is well acquainted with the Cuba trade, commands ber, aud she Is owned by Mrssrs Nash, Hpauldiug iSi Co. She haa been rlttnlly named the .Xuvelty, for she la the only vessel of the klud iu the oouutry. Uunlun TraveUer. Kami w Icli Islands A "Power" Behind lUe Throne.

It was formed four years ago' and numbers forty-six members, all of whom are residents of the 'Hub,' and have resided at the Hand wlou Islands. Its Prosldent resided there twenty years. The main object of this club seems to be to keep Secretary Howard aud certain members of Congress posted iu regard to the commercial and political affairs of the islands. Tbe club la really a 'power behind tbe throne' In all matters in Congress pertaining to the proposed annexation of tbe Handwlch Islands to the United Htates.or of reciprocity with tb Is Government. It has thrice the power of a female lobbyist in maklug its voice potent.

The New York H'orfdof this mornlmr niikea the following editorial remarks regardluJfuS trials of Mr. and Mrs. Twltohell:- K Philadelphia proposes to hang Mr. Twltchell for murdering bis mother-lu-iaw- but ltao.iuits Mrs. Twltchell for allowing 2er rnotuw Tbe murdered, appa.ently beoiuse aha was very much aneoted by tbe transaction. Tbe evi dence brought agsiusthusbaud aud wife was one and the kaineln kind and la degree. IUally, it might be a relief to the cansclence O' tbe average American Juror wulch eon SJlence, win u it exlxts, must no be often ve.y sorely strained if we could but Introduce luui ourconrts the French custom of permitting Juries to return a verdict of "guilty with ex tenuating circumstances." It Is true tost under favor of this custom French Juries do very sstorlshlrg things. One man oonvln'tji of murdering bis mother was found "gulltv win extenuating circumstances," the said extenu ating circumstances consisting apparently la tbe (act that he murdered his motuer UU a bluecottou umbrella. Another gentle soul, a feaaut, who burneitip hot h his parents In a laylolt, was passed upon lu the same term, because he had dutiful aud HUV)utluate enough not to knock their brains oat or strangle them before be roasted them. But, at least, tbe French Juries ere not forced to perjure themselves by declaring unlit willed is proved to be innocence. Uad the French system prevailed here, we ratgtit hive bud Ueneral Cole fcnnil guilty wltu tbe extenu ating circumstance" that the person wnona be murdered whs his particular frieud, aud Uiere fore presumably lit to oe murdered. But we should have escaped the scandal of his bald acquittal. It may be objected that in tbe Twltchell cane some Juror might very possloly have been fonnd to make H an "exteuuatlng olrenrnslaDoe" In favor of Twltchell that bis victim was bis mother lu-law. Hut his wife, at least, would not bave been allowed to so scot free on the same testimony wblch convicted him. She would probably have been foun t "sniltj," wlthihe "extenuating otrcumsNnce," ald "once to have been pleaded in a French, ounrt by a parricide, that she is "a poor orphan." Seriously, ho v much further aro we to aolu making our Justice as much of a farca as our jollllos already are of a tragedjf 7 FINANCE AND QOMMERQE.
