The War Batmen thA Allies -and
Battle of Bata= Bellaio—Capture
of Four Guns by the
Pariguayans.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sunday, June 3,1866:
Since my last bj , the. English packet of the
Sth ultimo, some progress has been made by,
the Allies in their war . against Paraguay.
On the 2d of May a rather severe engage
ment took place between' the vanguard of
the Allltd Army and a Paraguayan 'divi
sion about 8,000 strong. The victory is
claimed by both, but judging by the de
tailed reports, that have beenslowly coming
in since, it is the opinion of many people
in this city that it was only a drawn battle.
Both aides sustained heavy losses, -there
having been 5,000 men placed hors de com
bat. Of Brazilians and Orientals wounded
in this affair, more than 1,200 have arrived
at the, hospitals of Corrientes alone.
The greatest advantage gained in . this
engagement is the advance of the Allied
Army three miles farther on toward Su-.
malts and the leaving of Esters Bellaio
behind them. It - was considered by Gen.
Osorio a bad position from the first darthe
vanguard encamped there, but it seems
That Gen. Flores thought differently. It is
a large swamp, interspersed with jungle.
Curapaity, on the Paraguay river is the
name-of a -new-fortification-reported to be
fully as strong as Humaita, but much
smaller. It is against it that the Allied
Army. will make its next movement.
Gen. Porto Alegre's division, the second
of the Allied Army, was, by the last tidings
from that region, close to the river bank,
having its headquarters at the village of SL
Thomas. It would cross into Paraguay in
a few days. The flotilla to help in its pas
sage was about to start fromPasoda Petrie.
A yassenger lately arrived at Buenos Ayres
from that quarter reports that a pcirtion of
Porto Alegre's forces- had attacked the
Island of Itapira, where the Paraguayans
bad a force of 2,400 men; that the latter,'
after a few shots had been exchanged, had
hoisted a parliamentary flag,and that Baron
Porto Alegre had despatched some officers
across the river to treat with the Paraguayan
commanding officer for a surrender of that
garrison. This, of course, is very doubtful,
and as the steamer in which the said passen
ger came left while the firing was going on,
no more information could be obtained.
SINES at EiHEA.I7
It appears that the Dictator of Paraguay
has divined that the Brazilian division will
'try to cross at Itapira, or Traquera do Sureto,
just below. These two fords- have been
examined, and the latter chosen as the
safest.
By all the information to be obtained here
from military and naval officers engaged in
this war, the Allied Army and Navy are
desperately enthusiastic at the prospect of
meeting the enemy very soon, not so much,
I fear, for the fighting that will ensue as for
the hope they all entertain of soon leaving
the abominable country they are in.
A systematic opposition has been 'waged
against the . present Cabinet for the last•two
months, by the two Houses of Parliament,
with, as many suppop, very little mom;
and the Ministry having been defeated, the
day before yesterday, by a small majority
in a vote tEtken, they have demanded a
fusion of both Houses, and it is expected
that this will occur about the sth or 6 th inst.
I trust it will be for the better, but really
there's very little prospect of any improve
ment resulting from it. Notwithstanding
this slight Ministerial crisis, there is no pro
bability of any change taking place among
the chief officers of State.
On the 31st ult, a grand display of the
different religious Orders (Catholic) of this
city took place in honor of St. George. It
was attended by the Emperor and his ison
in-law, Count d'Eau ' holding the two first
rods of pallinm which covered the Host,
carried by the Archbishop. The appearance
of the 'windows in.the streets through which
, the procession had to pass was very bril
liant, they being filled 'with thousands of
ladies, and decorated with the richest
damask and silk curtains.
Prof. Agassiz, the naturalist, continued
his course of lectures on the River Amazon,
to the entire satisfaction of crowded houses.
Last week the German and Swiss residents
of this city bad a torchlight procession in
honor of the Professbr; it was the first thing
'of the kind seen here, and considered by all
a fine . turnout. Having stopped under 11r.
Agassiz's window, the German glee club
(Liedertafel) sang four beautifal choruses,
after which the Professor, in a very pretty
little speech, thanked them heartily for
their unexpected demonstration.
I was shown last night the contract en-
tered into between'the'Brazilian. 'Minister of
Agriculture and the American line of pack
ets, for the purpose of granting a free pas
sage to all Americans desiring to settle in
Brazil. All those desirous of emigrating
should avail themselves of the golden oppor-,
tnnity. The Infernational Emigration So

It appears that this fight began by a quasi
surprise from the Paraguayans (as usual),
and it is incredible that the Allies were not
more on the, alert. Gen. Flores, command
ing the advanced allied forces, intended a
reconnoissance of the enemy's position that
very day, but before carrying it into exe
cution he was suddenly . attacked by the
Paraguay,ans, who threw into confnsion the
first tour battalions (two. Brazilians and two
Orientals) they encountered, and captured
a battery of rifled artillery,.fout guns, that
Gen. Osorio " had lent to Flores air extra
protection against any attack from the
enemy. Although Gene Flores,-with great
intrepidity, threw himself into the hottest
of the battle,still the result would have been
a serious reverse to the Allies had not Gen.
Qsorio come to the rescue with the whole
of the 6th division of the army,too late,how
ever, to recapture the valuable battery
taken by the Paraguayans at the com
mencement of the action.
President Lopez has ordered a division of
5,000 men to Itapira to re-inforce the garri
son at that ford, which is said to be already
composed of 2,600 infantry, six pieces of
artillery, one steamer and fourteen flat
boats.

BUENOS AYRES, Monday, May 14, 1866.
This couiltry continues at war with Para
guay, allied with the neighboring State of
Uruguay, or Oriental 'Republic, and Brazil.
Little progress is made toward the fulfill
ment of the Tripartite Alliance, the prinoiple
object of which is to bind Paraguay by its
natural boundaries, viz: the rivers Para
guay and Parana on the southeast and
horthweat respectively, and the. Mara.gue
mountains on the west; also, to replace
President Lopez by a man 'of their
-own make, and who they may be able
to manage. The real wish of the River
Plate States and Brazil would be to attach
the little State to their territory, but of
-course in this case it-lakes three to make a
bafgain. Politically, the intrigue now !is,
who can count most on the coming man of
Paraguay. To this effect the Brazilians
have already put forward a candidate—one
of Lopez's' Generals---•who is a prisoner of
the Brazilians on parole, and drawing pay
from the Brazilian F‘xehequer. Runtor has
it that , he was bought to surrender himitelf
and army.
Although in numbers the allied forces are
much superior to those of Paraguay, yet
they have to fight hard for every inch of
ground gained. - The -Paraguay troops are
well known as warriors, and have blind
faith in their f leader. On. this latter fact
binges their strength. •
As it may not be known at home the dii
ginal clausal of this war now of' two years'
standing, I give yoa a short sketch of it. :In
Uruguay, the Blanco Party had held power
for some time, when-the apposition,- or
Colorado, attempted to overthrow the
former by force of arms. This, by itself. it
• could not successfully do, so, in an under
hand-way, Brazil helped it into power.
For what reason. this was distasteful to
Lopez, the President of Paraguay, is not
shown, but the fact is, he declared his
intention to help Uruguay to recover
its lost governmerig and immediately de
clared war against the party in power, and
Brazil its backer. At this juncture it was
found, necessary to pass troops across one
of the States of the River Plate. Properap
plication was made to the Buenos Ayres
Government, which saw fit' to deny , the
privilege. Later on it allowed Brazil to pass
up the river with its iron clads. Lopez at
once passed his army across Argentine ter
ritory, which brought about the triple al
liance, so-called.
After moths of war the allied armies
have won a few victories, and' have to-day
possession of part of the territory of Para
guay, attempting to take the stronghold of
Humaita. Our last accounts are that a body
of Paraguayans surprised Lopez, the Mon
tevideo Getteral, and came near bagging
bim and the vanguard of the army; but the
flight of a Brazilian battalion 'brought up
the main body to prevent a complete route.
Thus the question stands. Lopez is no
doubt much weakened, and his losses have
been great, yet be don't seem to be at all
scared. And SO the game of cross purposes
goes on. Brazil fights against the Blanco
Party,bnt does not against Uruguay-Para
guay against the Colorado Party, butnot
against Uruguay, either—and Brazil, River
Plate and Uruguay fight against Lopez,ibut
not Paraguay.
The end will probably be that Lopez and
his amie, Madame Lynch, will find an asy
lum in some foreign man-of-war, and Alan
for that paradise of American politicians,
Europe; and Brazil and the River Plate
States will establish a semi-protectorate over
Paraguay.
The money and banking question con
tinues to create excitement. Many failures
have taken place lately in the commercial
world. . ;
Uruay.
Besides thewar with gu Paraguay, much' ex
citement exists in Montevideo with regard
to the Spar:l)Bh war on the Pacific, and
public opinion, as well as that of the Govern
ment, leans every day more and more to
ward the side of the Pacific Republics.
A newspaper was started_ a few days ago
in Montevideo named the 'Republican, 'bat
which held very peculiar Republican
notions. The people didn't like it, and they
rose en masse and destroyed it.
The Peruvian iron-dad - 8 have been raising
quite a dust here, too. They arrived atßio
in the early part of April, and after rePairs
to one of them, they sailed southward., with
private orders. They next were heard of in
the neighborhood of Maldonado, a small
village on the River Plate, about seventy
miles from Montevideo. After having
caught three vessels (Spanish) one of which
they burned and two carried away with
them, they entered the pert and shipped
some men. The - authorities placed no diffi
culties' in their way.
.There are many Spanish vessels in Mon
tevideo, ready to sail, but which doh not
dare leave the port; also three or four men
of-war (Spanish) in the same fix.
I have it from good authority that the
iron -clads, led by an English coal vessel for
their use, have gone direct to the Straiti. It
is not improbable that the Spanish :fleet
may meet them there. •
In Montevideo we have the 'United States
vessels Juniata and Brooklyn.

In the District of Queretaro the guerillas
bad committed several ' sanguinary-- acts:
Among their victims were some naagis
trate& one of these, on being hanged,tried
to undo the knot, when his hands were
cruelly slashed, and a bullet through his
heart finished his.agony. Indeed, robber
ies and murders are continually taking
•place. The guerillas traverse immense
distances in the course of a single night,and
so appear in a place when least expected. In
this manner_ leaving Colcoman
by a rapid niarchoutmeded in sacking the
estate of the Jazmin, and; - by carrying off

Gen. Mendez had- returned, to Morelia
after a laborious excursion, during ;which
he twice overtook kis enemy. The princi
pal encounter took place at some leagues
distahce from Morelia. He came upon an
encampment of the Republicans
a the
banks of the River Santiago, but t„.„, result
was negative, for his opponents to b - to the
mountains, and having been careful to get
good horses froth the surrounding estates,
they rode off with sound skins.
Van der Smissen writes to the Prefect
that he had slurp ed Martinez, killed

A person wilting from Guadalajara says
"From all points of the compass we are

two or even three shillings. All this misery
is borne by the inhabitants, while the Im

fresh assault gave for result the burning of

A letter 'from Laguayra says that the

follows :
ADDRESS OF THE PRINCIPAL. .
Young Ladies : The honors of this occa
sion are yours. You this day receive the
merited prize for which you have toiled,
during three anxious, hopeful. and, I trust,
joyous years. This is your commencement;
the termination of your school-day career
as pupils, that period of life so full of hope
and fond anticipations, when the mind is
most busied in forming plans intended to
secure a brilliant future. Ladies, the safest
passport V:k future happiness and succ : m.s
is a life of integrity, truth and purity,
nourished and sustained .by correct
habits of industry. The pursuit of know
ledge ?e most elevating and ennobling
that can occupy your attention ; it expands
and develops, at the same time that it cul
tivates and refines. To-day you sever yonr
school ties and associations, but Ltrust you
will not forsake the paths or science and the
walks of literature, as you, enter upon the
active duties of life.
You go you know not where; the bright
future is before yoty, but you are ignorant
of what may beset your path; I trust your
walks may be in pleasant places, and you
may realize all your fondest expectations.
Most of you desire to become teachers; this
calling.is an honorable one, a field.in which
your labors, if rightly directed, may be pro
ductive of a rich 'harvest of intellectual
wealth to others ; but in whatever capacity
you may be called to act through life, may
your exertions be such, that the best
interests of society may be promoted, the
talents with which you are endowed may
be increased many fold, and your Alma
Mater may look with pride upon your la
bors, and may be able to say, well done.
At this, your graduation, your classmates,
Instructors and Guardians, the Controllers
of Public Schools, can only say you have
their warm sympathies, earnest hopes, and,
fond wishes, that you may realize a happy
future, a lifeof peace and good-willon earth,
and a blissful immortality in heaven.
Ladies, in the name and by the authority
of the Controllers of Public Schools, I pre
sent yon these diplomas, as an evidence that
you have completed the course of study
prescribed in the Girls' _High and Normal
School of Philadelphia; and as graduates
of this institution, publicly recommend you
as eminently qualified to instruct, hoping
you may all become shining stars in the
human galaxy, and brilliant ornaments to
society. -

Union cause giving not only a large portion
of.hia time, but large amounts of money to
that end. He wr:s a devote& admirer of the

Ho FUR ATLANTIC Crril-.—The Camden
and Atlantic railroad will re-commence the
running of a two o'clock P. M. train
(through in two hours). to-movrow. Thiti
train has always been a favorite with basi
ness•people. By it they can reach the sea
side quickly and comfortably, and theycan,
if they think proper, spend a good portion.
- of the summer in the delightful atmosphere'
of Atlantic city, without trenching upoW
business hours.
ALLEGED GAMBLESTG HOUSE.—The -
Ward police last night made a descent upo

New Jersey Matters.
Tam FIRE DEPARTM ENT.—The pro
sions of the new ordinance recently :pass
by the City Council, reorganizing the Fir(
Department of Camden, appear Le be work
ing in a satisfactory manner. The com•
panies designated in the ordinance as com
posing the new organNstion are w •
pleased with the arrangements, and are
making all necessary , preparations to work
harmoniodsly. They are determined that.
so far as.each company is concerned, and
as individual members of each company.
the provisions of the ordinance shall be car•
ried out to the very letter. The different,
companies had a good supply of equipments,
and by the assistance bf the council, they are
adding new ones, in order that by the time
the organization is completed, the new Fire
Department may be in a ,better and more
efficient condition than ; it
,has= ever before
been. > This is what has long been needed,.
and the citizens, hail it with gratification.
One of the requirements of the ordinance is,
that the companies shall purge their houses
from all loafers and lodgers and hangers-on',
about their apparatus, in order to acquire a
Membership that has an interest the
safety of property from fires. The Ca.rpd:
firemen cannot fail to feel a pride in, this
and thus be stimulated to aqldeve the proud
est.victory—that of spcurtng ther.gplati , v
and support of the citizeait.. And Ws; the •
cannot fail to do. if they faithfully: z.
thfully abide by
the provisions of the ordinance. •
