THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, -I860. rAHAOCAY. The linrnet. r of l,oii--Hnrbnrliin f Ihc Tvruiif. From a work l.y Colonel (leoio Thompson, nn Englishman, who was leveii years a resi dent of Paraguay, nnd dating the war tho thief engineer of the Rruiy of Loj.p., we give below some extracts whinh will show tho reader whnt mnnnr of man Lopez was, and what kind of ruler he made. Thr Urowlh of Tyrnimy In Pnrnfiiny. When Urunein, the first Dictator, gained power, he instituted so perfect a system of 'nt)ioiinge that no one saying a word to his nearest relations could foel sale that it would not be reported to Franeia. Every one sup nosed to be against the government, even only in thought, was thrown into prison, and Koine of them shot (especially the more in llncntiul men of the country), and their property confiscated. Franeia was in con tinual fear of being assassinated; and when he rode in the streets every ono was obligod to hide, even women, for his escort used to beat every one found in the streets when his Excellency passed. lie closed the whole of Paraguay, by land nnd by water, to all communication from abroad, plac ing guards and piijuets all around the frontiers. Ho prohibited ingress and ogress, both of persons and goods; and any one attempting to leave the country, or to send money out of it, was shot. A ship was now and then allowed to go to Paraguay with goods, for which Franeia paid in yerba (the tea of the country), lut any other for tigter who cainu within his grasp be de tained in the country. lie made a law prohibiting tho intermar riage of whites, blacks, Indians, and niulat lom: and declared several of the chief fami lies, whom he disliked, to lie mulattoes, so that they should not marry for no white Paraguayan would degrade himself or herself by marrying with one of a lower caste. He expected thus to exterminate those families, but the Spanish law of legitimacy enabled them to marry after his death, Riid so legiti matize their children. Marriage generally was discouraged by Franeia, and hence arose tho immorality to which the lower classes gave way, though rarely the higher. Their morals were not. however, in reality so bad as would be supposed; for although the marriages wore not celebrated in church, the women were nearly as faithful as if they had been regu larly married, with the difference that, as the tie was not irrevocable, when two people found they did not agree well they separated. Franeia died in lsl. S" years of age. He was buried under the altar in tho Encarnacion Church, at Asuncion: but his remains were afterwards dug out and Hung into the river by men whose families he had wronged. Three of the principal men of Paraguay were to have been shot the morning ho died, but the order tor their execution was never car lied out. A Congress was assembled, and Carlos An tonio Lopez and l!op;e Alouzo were chosen consuls. The second of these was a good man, and well spoken of by all who knew him; but he had not strength of mind enough to keep up with Lopez, who soon turned him out and remained alone in the government. At first they both signed in one line, denoting equality of power. Soon afterwards Lopez signed first, and Alono underneath him, as second: but at last Lopez said to Alonzo, "Andate, barbaro" (Go away, barbarian), and had himself elected President for ten year by a congress which he called together in 1M 1. The l.oiit-7. Family. His family was poor when he first entered the Government, and he himself, in Francia's time, was a poor lawyer gjad to get a dollar fee. Carlos Antonio Lopez was married to Dona Jnana Carrillo. Luth of them were "white," and both extremely stout. They Lad live children: three sons Francisco So lano, Lenancio, and JJenigno and two daughters Inocencia and Kat'aela all of them -very stout. Lopez I began his reign by pushing his children's fortunes in a most unscrupulous wap. lie made his eldest sou (afterwards Lopez II ) General-in-chief of tho Army and Minister of War. From an early age this young man was entrusted with a great deal of the executive power by his lather, who used sometimes to pay him an official visit, on which occasion the folding doors were all thrown wide open with a rush, as he used to take his sou by surprise. His second son, Fienancio, was made colonel and commander of the garrison of Asuncion. Tho third, L'enigno, was made major in tho army, but not liking it, was promoted to bo admiral of the fleet. This post, however, ho also re signed, preferring a roving life. H0 was tho great favorite of tho old man. Each of tho sons had a separate house and establishment and they were all noted for their libertinism,' especially the eldest and the youngest. This unlimited authority of Lopez, which the sons also exercised under his auspices, made people very much at raid of saying or doing anything to incur their displeasure. They all got rich very quickly, by every means in their power. They used to oiler a price for cattle far below tho market price, and which people were afraid to refuse. They then sent tho cattle to market, and sold them at any price they liked, as no one was allowed to Bell cattle in the market when any belong ing to the Presidents family were there They also bought property at the same low prices, from private people and from the Gov ernment. Tho ladies of tho family established an exchauge, where torn paper-money, which would no longer puss, was bought at a dis count of sixpence in tho dollar, and by thoir connection with the Government they changed it at the treasury for new paper of tho full value. 'J hey also lent money on jewelry at a large profit, and anything they liked they jicin, niiuuui nuy leiurcUCO to tho OWIICI' S wishes. llubit of I Ik- People. The Paraguayan costume was, for mon, a tall black hat such as is at present worn iu Eu rope, a shirt with the front and cuffs beauti fully embroidered, a pair of white drawers with a foot of fringe down to tho ground, and three or four inches of embroidery above the fringe. Over these a "chirtpa, or nort of sheet wrapped around tho legs from the waist down to above the embroidery on the drawers and secured by a Hcarlet silk sash; no shoes' and a "poncho" hanging over tho shoulder' The women wore a white chemise witli tihort sleeves, embroidered and edged with laco, and the top of tho chemise embroidered all around in black silk. They wore nothing ovtr their chemise down to the waist where ft scarlet sash secured a white petticoat em broidered with a broad black band half way down. They had no shoes. These costumes weie only worn by the country people, and by those of the lower class in town. Tho women's chemises, called tupul, are very ibeantiful, and look charming. The ladies and gentlemen in town dressed like Europe ans', and the ladies showed generally very good taste. They were very ladylike aud graceful, and any one going to a ball in Asun cion miglt Jiave almost imagined himself yj In lf .r4 Lopez sent his Mn, General Lopez, to Europe as Minister to tho different courts. Ho was eighteen mouths in Europe -Mn Eng land, France, Spain, Germany, aud Italy. In this trip ho picked up a great deal of superfi cial knowledge and some polish. It was by weeing the European armies, probably, that he imbibed a notion of imitating them, an ! playing Napoleon in South America. His mission had no partioular object, beyond bringing Paraguay before tho world. The first Lopez diod in 1MU2. A subscription was got up to erect a monu ment to the memory of Lopez I. This was ostensibly a spontaneous motion of tho citi zens, though iu reality done by tho order of Lopez II. It was arranged that no subscrip tions greater 11. ni: iivo dollars (t'l) should be received, and receipts for that amount wore made out in the mime of every ono who was supposed to have live dollars, and sent round with a demand for tho money, without asking whether the people wished or not to subscribe. This was done with foreigners as well as natives. In the month of June fifty-livo thousand dollars were collected from Para guayans alone. Tho whole amount collected has disappeared, and of course no inquiries aro made as to the reason, neither did any monument make i:s appearance. Tho Pishop of Paraguay, Vivid a, was an old man, but. still rode about on horseback. In Congress Lop II referred to his old age, and proposed to get a bull from tho Popo for a new bishop, to be ready at the decease of the old one. Ife got the bull for a country priest called Palucios, a man about thirty-five years old, and ore on whom he could count for anything. The new President was ftxl with banquets and speeches, as it was deemed indecent to give balls so soon after tho death of the late l'resideut. Neither tho first nor tho second Lopez ever allowed anything to be said against Franeia. Their own system would have been the next to come under criticism. The W ar. Tho forces of Paraguay at this time con sisted of an army of eighty thousand men, a third of which were cavalry, and the rest in fantry and artillery. The best men were picked out for cavalry and artillerymen. Tho cavalry was divided into regiments, and tho infantry into battalions; tho artillery nomi nally into regiments of horse, and battalions of heavy artillery. There wos at this time in the whole of Paraguay perhaps one hundred thousand horses, only half of which could gallop two or three miles. Tho Paraguayan horses were never good, and a terrible disease in the spine had latterly carried oil' the greater part of them, attacking generally the best animals. They had sufficient, but poor artillery. As in tho French army, all officers were promoted from the ranks. Young men of good family who were enlisted had to take off their shoes and go barefooted, ns nono of tho Paraguayan soldiers wero allowed to wear shoes. l.otM'. in Hie Field. Lopez was continually in great fear of being assassinated, and at night had a double cor don of sentinels round his house. This was afterwards increased to a treble one. During tho daytime these wero removed, and tho guard was kept under an open roof next door to Lopez. People who wished to see him hud to wait tinder this same roof. Ono evening I was waiting there to seo Lopez, as wore also several other oliict-rs, and a sergeant of the guard entered into conversation with mo. After a short time there was a great stir, oili cers going in and out of Lopez's room: the guard relieved, aud the other oili.'crs who were waiting all arrested. One of Lo pez's aids-dc-canip came and said to me, "His Excellency sends word to you to write down all tho conversation you have had with the sergeant of the gu..vd, and to bring it to-morrow morning. ' I went away, not expecting to bo able to remember a twentieth part of the silly talk of the sergeant: but as things looked serious, I tried, and probably remem bered it all. It tilled a whole sheet of paper, and was all of it somewhat in this style: "The sergeant asked me if Queen Victoria always wore her crown when she went out to walk." "The sergeant asked me if I should wear the Paraguayran uniform when 1 went to Eng land." It was sealed up and taken next morn ing to Lopez, about 7 A. M. He was not yet up, but the sergeant was already shot, and all the soldiers of the guard received a hun dred lashes each. A few months afterwards I heard that the sergeant had been convicted of conspiring, with two men who had just re turned from I'ru'juyana, to murder tho l'resideut, and that the two men had been found that night in the yard of Lopez's house. The sergeant's manner that evening was cer tainly not thiit of a conspirator. Lopez never said a word about it to me, nor acknowledged receipt of tho written conversation, probably feeling ashamed to do so. A Correntino girl, who had come over with the army from Corrientes, tried to go away one day into the country, but was caught, and received sixty lashes in public on her bare ilesh, which was considered a very good joke. In the Paraguayan camp no correspondence was allowed between the army and their rela tives: women, however, were constantly coming and going, and these carried news to Asuncion of what was taking place in tho camp. People were ordered to consider every day a new triumpii for Lopez, and of course they dared not show that they did not think so, though many people in Asuncion expected every day to see the Allies march in. People there were kept wull occupied, every family having orders to buy, make, and deliver within a certain period so many dozen shirts and drawers for the army. Almost every day, xoo, mosses were said at the Cathedral "for the safety and welfare of Don Francisco Solano Lopez." These musses wore paid for hy private people. If a Paraguayan, in tho midst of his com rades, was blown to pieces by a shell, lhay would yell with deliiht. thinkiuor it a eanila'l joke, in which they would have .leen joined y me victim himself had he been capable, la vvhiK on Ilie Ladies. Lopez's birthday was on July 'M, and tho date of his election to tho presidency was October HI. P.oth days wore kept, but the latter was specially marked. On these as well as on Christmas Day, and on ono or two civil feast-days, Lopez held a levee, all tho officers who had tho uniform being in full dress. Lopez used to go to church, after which, at his house, all being assembled around him, tho Uishop would address him a most complimentary speech, to which Lopez, who was a very good speaker, would reply at lengiu. After tho reception, chamnacno. beer. etc.. wero served under the orange troos, and hun dreds of toasts given, only to Lopez, as it was not allowable to toast any other person. He sometimes, however, hail Home thing more tangible than an address to remember tho day oy. in iNui a magnificent Paraguayan ling, embroidered in cold, diamonds, rubies, etc.. with gold and silver staff and mountings, was ewbrwUcKtl fcy tU ladies of Asuncion; mid an album, bound in solid gold and stones, in a solid gold box with an equestrian statue of gold on it, was made in Asuncion, and sent down by the ladies as a testimony of their patriotic feelings. The bints and ideas for these things emanated from headquarters, a Indy friend of Lopez being tho medium. No one, of course, dared refuse to contribute to wards thein. Next (1KCK) the citizens had to make an offering, and this time there was no reserve as to the source of tho idea, designs being made by request of the lady at headquarters, and from thenco sent to Asuncion, where they were executed. The presents this time consisted of a sword of honor and a crown of laurel leaves in gold. Lopez sent ono of his own swords to bo remounted. Tho hilt was made with a Saint George and the Dragon on the guard, all of gold, with twenty-three bril liants and numbers of other stones in it. Tho sheath was of solid gold, with relieved ara besques, and tho wholo was encased in another telescopic sheath, also of pure gold, with a golden statue on the top, and made so that when the telescopic part was shut up, tho part which contained the hilt nlone was visi ble, thus making a beautiful ornament on a table. The wholo was laid on an immenso silver salver. Another patriotic demonstration was or dered to be made by tho women, viz., to bog permission to take up arms and light by the side of their brethren. Tho offer was made to the Vice-President at Asuncion, and was declined for the present. Some twenty girls, however, belonging to tho village of Aregua, got lances and white dresses with tricolor bands, and a sort of Scotch cap. designed by Mrs. Lynch, and they used to go about Asun cion singing patriotic hymns. Paper had become very scarce. A treat quantity was used in Paraguay, as there was always a document executed to show for everything which was done. Threo now weekly papers wore started, besides tho .S' tmt )torio, viz., tho Cdttiiild, in Spanish, with an article or two in Guarani: and tho Luiulntrc and tho Cobirhiii, both entirely in Guarani. Tho last-named was meant for a representa tive of l'miri, but the jokes in it wero very wretched, and sometimes scandalous. The (Jidiiclihi and the Ciiitinilit-wv.ro illustrated by woodcuts made by two or threo soldiers, from their own drawings, aud wero cut with a penknife. M. Treuenfeldt, of tho telegraph, established a paper manufactory, making somo of cotton and some of "caraguata," turning out vory respectable paper. All tho government archives were overhauled, and the fly-leaves torn off and used for writing. Everything was written on as small a piece of paper as possible. There was a printing-press with the army, where Co li'h ii was printed. The articles for the Stmo no rio wore read to Lopez, and when approved wore sent to town by tele graph; those which wero written in town being sent by telegraph for his approval, the amount of correspondence that went through tho wires being thus something marvellous. Pieces of cowhide were scraped aud brought to a white surface, and bound up in books for writing journals, etc. Parchment was made from sheepskin, and after some trials was made equal to European parchment. This was used for the commissions of the officers. Ink was made from a kind of black bean, by extracting the coloring matter with ashes. Soap was made by every division for its own consumption by boiling together for a time, varying from four to eight days, according to the quality of tho ashes, fat meat and wood ashes. Three men used to be constantly em ployed in the woods burning these ashes, having to select a particular tree called "Youwu," to make strong ashes. Salt was made formerly made a largo scale at Lambare, from the river mini, but tho women were too much occupied with other things to have time to make enough: conse quently only tho hospitals wero supplied, and that insufficiently. The troops certainly had a fortnightly ration, but it was quite nominal, not being sufticient to salt ono meal. Somo months afterwards the men discovered in the Chaco a tree with vory thick leaves, from which they extracted, by boiling, a substance resembling salt, but in tasto like salt chalk. This, however, they ate, being in great want of it. Hides wero stretched tight on largo square frames, and scraped with steel tools till they were tolerably thin, after which they were thoroughly nibbed all over with the blunt point of a stick, till they at last became of the consistency of a very thick wash leather. These were then cut up and made iuto trow sers, etc.: but if tho rain fell on them, they got so stiff that tho wearer absolutely could not bend his legs. They had therefore to be given up. The carpets from tho ball-rooms of the club, tho railway terminus, etc., in Asuncion, wero cut into "ponchos" for the soldiers, and were so stiff that they stood out like adver tising boards. As tho winters in Para guay are extremely cold when the south wind blows, the men suffered much from want of clothing. Gunpowder was made, the sulphur being obtained from iron-pyrites, of which there is an abundance in Paraguay, and the saltpetre being manufactured from urine and decom posed animal substances. Admiral DiivIk Outwitted. On December :) the United States ship Wasp again made her appearance, carrying an Ad miral's and a Minister's Hag. The new minis ter was General McMahon, sent to replace Mr. 'Washburn, whom ho had met at Kio Janeiro. As Mr. Washburn had been sub jected to some indignities on leaving Para guay especially in having two members of his legation forcibly taken from him while on his way to embark, thrown into irons aud sent to the'aimy to be judged it was determined that Admiial Davis should go with a squadron of war vessels, and demand the surrender of these prisoners, and that, until they were given up, General McMahon should not land. The morning the Wasp arrived, Captain Kirk land w ent to seo Lopez at his headquarters, and arranged that Lopez should meet tho Admi ral the same evening at Agostnra. 1 ho meet ing took place at my house, Lopez being so amiable and'plausible that he delighted Ad miral Davis, and made him really believe that Masten.ian and P.liss, tho two prisoners de manded, were guilt v of a horrible conspiracy. Ho told tho Admiral that ho himself wished to give them up, but that tho tribunals would not do so. However, Admiral Davis had somo arguments with him in tho shape ot 1 t-ineh guns, which would have been applied in a more persuasive manner than the brazilians did theirs; and so on December 10, at night, Masterman and Dliss wero sent to mo, w li orders to deliver them to Captain Knkland as prisoners. I was only too glad to obey this order, as I knew it was only a farce 1 could not, of course, see eithe r Admiral. Dav s or Captain Kirkland to tell them my idea of their guilt. On the 12th General McMahon lauded and went up to headquarters, where he remained some time with Lopez. Tllie Fbiul Kefeat of I.oie.. On UiO morning of th.o 27th, fiftGX MWUiCr bombardment, tho Allies marched into Lopez's linen, the Argentines at the head; the few Paraguayans who wero left made a dosperatu resistance, and fought individually against whole battalions, till they were cut down. The artillery was all dismounted, and two or three guns hod been still tiring, whero they lay on the ground, propped up by heaps of earth. Snch of the wounded 1'aragnayans as were able, and somo two or threo hundred sound ones, betook them to tho woods in the rear of Lopez's house, and wero soon sur rounded oy tho enemy, and in more or less time all wero made prisoners. Lopez himself had started off alone for Cerro Leon, with ono or two companions, the moment ho saw that the Allies were marching in. by a road he had lately made through the woods. Ho went away in a great hurry, leaving to her fate Mrs. Lynch, w ho went out among tho bullets, looking for him. She followed him, and got away, so did Generals Kesquiu and Cabellero, and tho few dozen of his cavalry who were still sound aud mounted. All Lopez's baggage was taken, his car riages, clothes, papers, hat, gold-embroidered "poncho,'' etc., and even some of his female slaves with the baggage. A few lucky pri soners were saved by tho advance of tho allies, as they captured an aid-de-camp of Lopez, v.hom he sent back from the road with an order to have them shot. lie had shot his brother Penigno, the liishop. Herges. Colonel Allen, the wife of Colonel Martinez, find General IJarrios, on tho ''"th His sisters, Inocencia and Fiafaela, ho had taken away to Cerro Leou, after they had been rcpuitcdly flomied bv common soldiers, aud lived on a cowhide for months. 1 lie Puttire. Lopez's resources at tho beginning of tho year Im'.'.i consisted of six thousand wounded men in hospital in the Cordillera, which is a low range of hills, forty or fifty miles from Asuncion, and six from the line of railway. Ho had about twelve small field-pieces, no muskets, and no ammunition, and five sniall steamers which he had taken into the Uio do Manduvira. Tho Brazilians have purposely allowed many of their prisoners to go and join him, as they are determined not to leave a Paraguayan of any age or sex alive; and when Lopez has got together as many men as it is possible for him to collect, they will tight again, and then again give him time to get up another poor force.
