MAGNA EST . VERIrAs.
The mighty Truth, tho'Arldden long
By sham and fraud and wordy fuss,
Will come again, erect and strong,
Like Hercules from Tartarus!
Fashion and humbug, false pretence,
And lies, whose name is Legion, fail
When matched with Truth and Common
Sense—
Truth is great, and will prevail!
And fools, who thought that Truth wasdead,
And, laughing, bowed the knee to Sham
See, grim and stern, like Banquo's head, ,
The Truth confront them—" Here I am !"
Truth audits fellow-worker, Time,
Succor the weak and right the wrong,
Unveil the fraud, revenge the crime—
Who trust in Time and Truth, are strong!
EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Eve. Bullechs. I
PAans, Tuesday, Nov. 6th, 1866.—The po
litical event of the day is certainly the Papal
Allocution (the text of which has just been
published)—and as such that remarkable
document seems to be considered by the
general voice of the press and of public
opinion. At the very moment when all
Italy was in a delirium of joy for the annex
ation of Venice; just, too, as that rough fel
low Victor Emmanuel, who, somehow or
other, with all his want of polish, always
manages to say the right thing in the right
place, was in the act of declaring to those
who presented him with the iron crown that
there was another crown which was far
dearer to him, viz, that which he won in
the affections of the people over whom he
ruled—just as this national joy and per
sonal attachment •is at its height, the
Head of the Italian Church declares
open war against Italy and almost
curses her King and her Government. I
say " almost," because the Pope does end
his allocution with a sort of a blessing,
although the legitimate conclusion of all that
had gone before would certainly have been
quite the other way. He denounces the
"Subalpine" government, as he calls it, for
he will not even accord to it the name of
"Italian," and declares its lawit and acts to
be nothing but a continual insult to religion
and himself; especially the law of marriage,
which he pronounces to be only an encour
agement to the most shameful concubinage.
And this is said of a law which prevails and
has prevailed, even in a stronger sense, for
more than half a century, in France, the
country to which the Papacy is indebted at
this mome'nt for its very existence, and of
law which prevails now almost universally
both in Europe and America. The only
congratulation which the Pope has to offer
Italy on the annexation of Venice, is a
bitter reproach for having abolished the
Concordat made between himself and his
" dear son in Jesus Christ, Francis Joseph,
Emperor of Austria," for that part of the
dominions of the latter. Nor does Pius IX
content himself with simple remonstrances.
"By the authority of the Church of St.
Peter" he solemnly "abrogates and declares
null and void and of no effect or value," all
the above acts and decrees and laws of the
"Subalpine" government, of which he com
plains. This sounds really more like mid
summer madness than the common sense
•of the nineteenth century; but there stands
the declaration in blaek and white. As to
reconciliation with Italy, the Pope scouts
the very idea of such a thing with those
whom he regards as thieves and robbers;
and, for the first time, says he will leave
Rome if such a step be necessary for his
spiritual independence. He designates
what is now taking place in Italy, by the
names of " deplorable facts" and "sorrow-.
ful contemporary events;" speaks of the,
accomplishment of the liberties of the
nation as "this very baneful Italian per
turbation and rebellion !" After this we
may say, indeed,' area jacta est, the
die is cast. Moderate counsel seems
cast to the winds, and the ultra
party has . evidently carried the -day a
Rome. There has been nothing like the'
above published from that source since the
celebrated Syllabus, of which the Allocu
tion is the natural sequence; and all that re
mains for Pius IXth to - do, it seems, is to
take refuge in that Spain which is, I pre
sume, the country in which as the only
recipient of "religion and its salutary doc
trines," he describes as alone flourishing
(beginning, doubtless, with the person and
character of the Most Catholic Majesty,
Queen Isabella herself),--"purity of morals,
integrity, peace, justice, charity, and all the
virtues !"
The above outburst from Rome is the
more unlooked for, because only a few
days previously the Cardinal Trevisanato,
patriarch and head of the Venetian Church,
had issued a pastoral letter on the occasion
of the Plebiscitura and its result,
in which both - the King
~and the
Italian government were spoken of
in terms of the highest respect, loyalty and
even affection. Thellioniteur of thismorning,
while passing wholly sub silentio the Papal
Allocution, alludes significantly to the Car
dinal's pastoral as heralding the advent of a
new state of things and an era of reconcilia
tion bet Ween Italy and the Church. A
second Allocution of the Pope is directed as
strongly against Prussia as the first is
against Italy, so that between the two the
Court of Rome may be said to have declared
ecclesiastical war against all Europe. The
result must be either greatly to add to the
difficulties, or perhaps 'greatly hasten the
solution of the Roman question. It is re
marked that by a war-office order, all offim
cars and soldiers of the French division of
Rome, now in France on furlough, are re
quired to join their diSp6ts at the expiration
of their leave, instead of returning to Rome.
The Emperor held a review and appeared
on horseback yesterday for the first time
since his indisposition. He seemed to be
pretty much in his.usual. Mato of bealtht

[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.]
Rio Jalisano, Oct. 9, 1866.—Another san
guinary engagement has taken place—this
time in front of Carupaity, by land and
water—between the Paraguayans and the
allies, resulting disastrously to the arms of
the latter, contrary to all expectation in this
city, as you shall learn.
On the 3d inst. a steamer arrived from the
river Plate with dates from Buenos Ayres
and Montevideo to the 23d and 26th nit., re
spectively. From the intelligence received
a general impression prevailed that peace
would be soon restored, on terms advanta
geous to Brazil, and "/o triumphs" was
shouted through the streets, in the Ex
change, the several hotels and caf6s, and in
private families. I beg pardon; the Bra
zilians never shout; they don't seem to
know how. Consider, therefore, that I
employed one of these dangerous edge tools,
a figure of speech—as Cobbett hash it. At all
events, the people did the next best thing to
shouting—they looked jubilant, The fact
is, they thought the very fact of Lopez pro
posing conditions of peace was synonomorie
with suing for peace, and was indicative of
his inability to continue the war. Alas! the
joy that prevailed throughout the city was
of short duration, for the morrow brought
information of a terrible disaster to Brazil;
through the machinations of that cunning
fox, Lopez. The following from one of the
oity journal is a fair exponent of what was
expected to result from the proposals of Lof
pez, made in person to the allied command
ers, and exhibits the bitterness of the disap
pointment that was experienced when the
whole truth became known:,
The allies have just gained a great moral
victory. Lopez asked for an interview with
the generals of the allied army, and, in a
conference which lasted five hours, mani
fested a desire to make peace, which
amounts to as much as saying he is, no
longer capable of fighting. It is not easy to
foretell what influence this fact will have,
not only on the Paraguayans, bat even on,
our soldiers and on the whole country. We
see in it a presage of a great triumph, and
with it the conclusion of the war.
It seems, however, from all I have been
able to gather—for the precise terms pro
posed by Lopez have not transpired—that
the shrewd diplomatist and soldier did not
offer any basis for a peaceable adjustment;
that he only manifested a desire to make
peace on conditions different from those
established in the celebrated triple alliance.
General Mitre submitted the Dictator's
proposals to a council of generals, who de
cided on communicating them to their re
spective governments, without stopping,
however, the operations of the war. Letters
from Tuijuty give the following details of
the memorable interview;
By the morning of the 12th of Sepiember
every one in the army knew that Lopez was
io hold on that day a conference with the
allied commanders. Nor was he waited for
long. At half-past eight A. M. the foremost
vidette reported Lopez and his suite ap
proaching the allied camp with a flag of
truce.
Gen. Mitre, followed by Gen. Hornos and
his suite, and escorted by 20 cavalrymen,
went out to meet him. When near each
other the two generals advanced a few yards
from their respective escorts, and on meet
ing shook hands. Gen. Flores and Polydo
ro bad been invited by Gen. Mitre, at the
request of President Lopez, to attend the
meeting. The former accepted the invita
tion but the Brazilian General refused to
take any part in the conference, saying that
as the commander-in-chief would be pres
ent, he thought his presence in that place
would be useless. Sensible man, that!
The conversation lasted five hours, as'
already stated, Lopez being almost exclu
sively the speaker. He analyzed the policy
of Brazil and her two allies. It is said that
in the course of the conversation Lopez
manifested rather too earnestly his little
sympathy Tor Brnzil, and that in such vio
lent language that Mitre had to tell him
that he could hear him no longer on such a
subject. It is also affirmed that on separat
ing the two
,supreme commanders ex
changed whips, Lopez being the first to per
form this act of rather dubious, Van Tromp
like politeness.
General Mitre, subsequent to the' meet
ing., declared that Lopez was animated by
the best desires 'and was full of the most
humane sentiments, which he (Lopez)
manifested with a vengeance in a few days.
According to Mitre the Paraguayan Dicta
tor was willing to make peace, bat would
not abandon his power. Query.—Was the
abandonment of power by. Lopez one of
the conditions insisted on by the allied
generals, which Lopez found so hard to
digest?
Lopez's proposals, whatever they may
have been, were communicated immedi
ately to the Brazilian Minister. An answer
was returned, the nature of which was not
made known; but it is a matter of certainty
that Lopez was dissatisfied therewith, who
forthwith recpmmenced military operations,
resulting in a serious disaster to the allied
army and Brazilian fleet, as already men
tioned, the partieulars of which, from all I
can gather. seem to be somewhat like the
following:
At seven o'clock on the morning of the
22d ultimo two divisions of the fleet as
cended the river, and bombarded the fort
ress of Curupaity for four hours; but only
succeeded in dismounting three of the Par
aguayan guns. The iron-clads Tamandare,
Barrozo and Brazil were ordered to advance
and force the palisade, forming ah obstruc
tion to the approach to the enemy's works.
The attempt was successful, and the three
vessels closed up to within sixty fathoms
of the enemy, pouring in an incessant fire
of shot and shell, which was gallantly re
turned by the Paraguayans, to the great
damage of the vessels thus engaged.
Nor were the land forces idle; for, shortly
after the attack by river commenced, Gen.
Mitre, with his army, issued from Caruza,
and assaulted the first line of entrenchments,
dog+ to Curupaity, carrying it in +pick
o IVEIOTE 001:1*17iltt.
time, the Paraguayans withdrawing with
all their artillery to Curupaityproper. The
Allies advanced immediately, - and here
their gteat difficulties began.- -It appears
that to reach Curupaity from the line_just
taken it was necessary to cross a swamp
and destroy the defensive works that the
Paraguayans had made there. Many at
tempts were- made by the allies to cross,
waist deep in water, during which time—
about one hour and a half—they certainly
displayed great valor; but all to no purpose,
exposettas they were to an Incessant fire of
shot and shell. They were at last compelled
to retreat, with a lobs of about five thousand
men, mostly killed, among whom were a
large number of officers.
The entire affair reflects little credit on the
strategy of General Mitre, *hose personal
courage, as well as that of Admiral Taman
dare, is unimpeached and unimpeachable.
But the General's blunder, or rather series
of blunders, are not the less stupid because
he is brave, thus:
He attacked Curnpaity, garrisoned by
fifteen thousand men and mounted with
filty-six pieces of artillery, with no more
than a)xtut twenty thousand men, leaving
Polydoro and his, corps behind. It was
lucky, however, that he did so, or the latter
would have undoubtedly Shared the fate of
thcse who actually suffered.
The second blunder was the attacking of
the fortress after three days of heavy rain,
which swelled the swamp to a great height,
and rendered the adjacent ground anything
but firm. It is still a mystery how the
alies, leaving out of view their first cross
ing of the swamp, contrived to retreat across
it with their artillery, in the face of the ter
rific fire to which they weretexposed—an
incessant fire of shot and shell. They were
at last compelled to retreat, with a loss of
about five thousand men, mostly killed,
among whom were a large number of
officers.
The shock caused by the foregoing news
in this city is a painful one. It is said that
the Minister of War has given orders for all
army officers to leave for the South. In
connection with this a review in order of
march took place to-day in front of the
principal barracks of this city. Three bat
talions of the National Guard were present;
and it Is reported that the whole of that
corps will be sent to Paraguay, with the
sole exception of married men having
children. In my opinion this measure will
be productive of very, insignificant results,
because troops formed in this way cannot,
from the fgrmer habits of the men com
posing jtAnd from their previous modes
of living, snerxmkfully encounter the
hardships of a campaign, even for a
week; and there is not the slightest
shade of enthusiasm among them for the
present war. Consequently , the government
may at once sonfidently rely upon the de
sertion of the majority of them, while ' on
the other - hand, there are thousands of
foreigners and others here who would will
ingly go if a reasonable bounty were paid
them at once, and if they were to be enlisted
for one year instead of nine years, the pre
sent term of service, and for which a substi
tute for a National Guard has to serve as a
soldier of the line. It seems almost incre
dible that,after the brilliant example pre
sented- by the United States in their late
gigantic struggle,the Brazilian government
=mot perceive the absurdiof its system
of enlistment and adopt model which has
served so well.
The three iron -clads, in their bombard
ment of Curupaity, were frequently hit, and
two of them—the Barrow and the Brazil—
bad to go to the island of Cerrito, further
down the river, to repair damages.
It is beginning ft; leak out that Admiral
Parker is to command the fleet, and that
the Visconde Tamandare will be recalled.
The general impression is that the change
ought to have been made long ago; and ani
madversions are freely passed on the con
duct of Tamandar6 for the grave mistake so
fatal to commanders of other nations, in
scorning his enemy, - by which said enemy
was allowed the opportunity of filling his
difficult channel leading to Curnpaity with
torpedoes, sunken vessels and other ob
structions.
Latest advices inform us here that General
Flores has arrived at Montevideo, with his
troops, consisting of 400 men, being all that
is left of 1,200, wnich constituted his origi
nal army. There must be some joke here,
reminding us of that Serene Highness in,
Germany whose army consisted of eleven
soldiers and a half. - -
At the Chestnut to-night we have Mr.
Joseph Jefferson in his great character of,

RAILROAD CONDUCTOR KILLED.-011
Thursday morning last, about one o'clock,
a young man named Garrity, conductor on
the night freight train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which left this city on Wednesday
night, was instantly killed, at Derry. Sta
tion, Westmoreland county, while coupling
cars. He was in the act of coupling, when
a coal train shoved down against the cars,
driving them together before he could es
cape; and mashing him to death instantly.
The deceased was an unmarried man, and
had been on the road but two months, hav
ing formerly been employed on the Northern
Central. He resided at Millerstown, Pa.,
and his remains were properly dressed and
forwarded to his friends by the company.
NEWSPAPERS.—De Tocqueville, in his
work on America, gives this forcible
sketch : "A newspaper can drop the same
thought into a thousand minds at the same
moment. A newspaper is an adilser who
does not require to be sought, but who
comes to you briefly every day of common
weal, without distracting your
_private af
fairs. Newspapers, therefore, become more
necessary in proportion as men become
more equal and individuals more to be
feared. To suppose that they only serve to
I protect freedom would be to diminish their
apaportance; they maintain civilization."

The Proposed Mediation of Enlan
and France in the South-
American-Spanish War--
The Election in Peru.
Morreskosidence of thtN. Y.3.inlS9.
Monday, ATidk —We
have dates from Valparaiso - and Santiago
de Chile to the 18th,and Callao and Lima to
the 28th of October.
Chile.
The Chilean press continues to discuss the
proposed mediation of England and France
in the south American-Spanish war. It is
generally believed that Chili and Peru have_
accepted the mediation. As Bolivia and
Ecuador bad no cause of quarrel with
Spain, other than their desire to makercom
mon cause with Chile and Peru in defenc e
of South American interests, their Minis
ters to Santiago state that their governments
will be guided by the wishes of the princi
pals in the war! The terms of the media
tion are those stated in my last: I. An arm
istice, 2. Spain and the allied republics will
consent that France and England shall ar
range the basis on which peace maybe ad
justed, while the belligerents will remain
free to accept or refuse the arrangement.
Nothwitbstanding the tone to the contrary
of the Press of Chile, there is a strong desire
among the Chilean people for peace, founded
upon the conviction that further war with
Spain will be a losinggame to the allied Re
publics. The Mercurio, of Valparaiso,says:
"If the Spaniards do not return to this
coast, the question as regards us is restricted
to the alternative of peace or trace. Com
mercial interests tend naturally to peace,
and make tremendous efforts to influence
public opinion, but the people, the masses
that really constitute the nation, they who
regard the rise or fall of prices as of less
moment than the honor of the country, have
not expressed in any way a wish for peace
"In summing up the considerations on
both sides, we are disposed to think that
the present state of things will continue.
"In the meantime, the government en
deavors to organize, in the most efficient
manner, our naval resources. We allude
to the appointment of Senor Willia
Redolledo as Commander-in-Chief of the
Cbillean squadron. Much is hoped from
his activity and energy in shaking off the
discouragement that at present oppresses

; "The Peruvian opoosition,headed by Senor
Saha, has caused a profound and painful

The returns of the election for President of
Peru had not all come in, but no doubt the
Dictator,Col. Prado, is elected. His com
petitor, 01. Balta, had been sent off to sea
in the Government steamer Sachaca, and
had arrived at Arica on his way to Chile,
with several other persons of note, on the
charge of inciting revolution against the
Dictator. Gen- Vargas Machuca and the
other officers arrested le - Arequipa on the
same charge, are still in prison at Callao,

their lives by running to the ship. There
appears little doubt that the unfortunate
( fficers were eaten by the savages, as no
traces could be found of their remains.
A correspondent at the Chinchas, of the

is surrounded by gendarmes and loaded
with chains and taken to prison, and thence
before an examining magistrate, when the
following dialogue takes place : "You are
accused of having taken the life of a man."
"Yes," answers the executioner, "it is
true." "What was your motive for the
crime?" "To obey the law and fulfill the
the mission confided to me by justice," An
indictment is then drawn up, and on the
following day the man is taken before the
tribunal, which immediately pronounces an
acquittal, and the prisoner is liberated after
his confinement of twenty-fqx hours.

Princess of Wales, a few years since living
almost in obscurity in a German town, will
be the wives of men ruling, really or nomi
nally, one-half the world, and a clear third
of the human race. Indeed E if they divide
China between them, quite a possible event,
but one-third of mankind will live outside
their dominions.
