(■Correspondence ef theN. X- Times.]
Bio Janeiro, Monday, October 29th, 1866.
—Since the repulse or the allies at Curupairy
on the 22d ultimo, all has been quiet in
Paraguay, excepting, however, active pre
-1 arations for a second assault on that
stronghold. It is to be hoped that General
Mitre (if he continues in command) will be
more prudent than he was last time.
Analyzing all the detailed reports of that
sanguinary engagement, as well as many
private letters on the same subject, Bincethe
departure of the last mail, lam forced to
airive at the conclusion that Argentines, as
well as- Brazilians, although fighting
with the utmost tenacity and bravery,
sacrificed themselves most ingloriously to
the incapacity of the commander-in-chief.
This statement of mine may seem
rather severe, but I can assure your read
ers theie are many highly-placed and com
petent persons here who go even farther,
aLd affirm that the elite of the allied army
was sacrificed through Mitre’s treachery,
and was merely the natural consequence of
bis five hours’ conference with President
Lopez. Though not entirely agreeing with
the opinions of these pessimists, I still must
confess that tbeir conjectures are based on a
better and more thorough knowledge of the
characters of such men as Mitre, Urquiza,
FJores and Company, than I can possess.
As if to support the affirmations and fore
b( dings as to the future of these gentlemen,
Gen. Flores’s withdrawal from the field of
active operations and his arrival at Monte
video with the remnant of his army, 400
men, is, to-day, a fact, and a fact commu
nicated officially to the Emperor of Brazil.
Many have been the rumors current on this
subject; that Gen. Flores was expected to
retire tor a time to Montevideo is true, but
that he should bring his army with him
nobody ever imagined. It is officially au
r- uneed that he will soon return to the
field,but tha incredulous Consider the triple
alliance at an end, and such I believe really
in be the consequence of the step taken by
•be old veteran. Will the Argentines and
Brazilians hold out together much louger?
I am inclined to think such a supposition at
;< ast, doubtful.
Immediately upon his arrival at Monte
v deo, Gen. Flores despatched a speoial
ti essenger, Senor Herrera Y. Obes, to the
Emperor, with such an important commu
nication as resulted, two days af.erward, in
I I e following: Resignation of the Minister of
Vt ar, recall of Gem Polydoro, and his sub
stitution by the Marquis De Caxias, and ap
pi ilniment of the Baron De Amazonas to the
<■■ mmand of the fleet in lieu of Admiral
Tumandore. What other suggestions to the
Emperor Benor Herrera Y. Obez may have
bien the bearer of, is not known, but their
11 suit will soon appear. Though these
changes took us all by surprise, they have
given general satisfaction. Will they pro
i uce lhe same consequences in the'River
i-.'ate regions? It Expected they will, if
the Argentines, (or rather their chiefs,) are
sincere in tbeir assurances of friendship
and good wishes toward the alliance and its
is mnoon purpose.
About 400 sick and wounded have lately
airived from Corrientes. Being, in my
situation, in almost daily intercourse witb
tl em, I have had to listen to the most heart
i t-ndiDg accounts of the battle of Corapalty,
at which a large number of them were pre
sent. The. loss of the Allies was nearly
7.000 hors 'de combat, and not 4,028, as offi
cially announced. Regimental officers have
assured me that it was the most horrible
sensation they ever felt, to see themselves
and their men exposed to the galling fire of
the Paraguayans, and almost under their
walls, without knowing how or where to
advance for want of orders from their chiefs.
Confusion, in -short, reigned supreme, and
u pell-mell retreat was, of course, the natu
ral consequence.
The Marquis de Caxias, one of the ablest
t fficers in tne Brazilian army, left this city
on the 22d inst., for Montevideo, in the
French packet Carmel, but had to put back
tvo days after, the steamer’s machinery
having been disabled. He leftagainyester
day in a Brazilian transport. Owing to his
great popularity in the South, great things
are expected of him. I fear, however, that
besides placing his army on a better footing,
and, probably, assuming the commaud-in
ehief, he will not be able to do anything be
fore the beginning of next year.
Gen. Polydoro, who is certainly a good
officer, but of rather an irascible disposi
tion, found everything in suoh disorder in
the allied camp that he quarreled witb all
his comrades, and, as rumor has it, espe
cially with the Brazilian Admiral.
All these differences and want of co-opera
’ tion and accord between Generals and Ad
mirals are attributed to party politics. It
is sad to say it, but nevertheless true; and
so it will be while partisanship, as at pre
sent, is esteemed superior to patriotism.
The condition, sine qua non, on which
Caxias accepted the command of the Bra
zilian forces was the imibediate removal of
Ferraz, the Minister of War, who is now
going to Europe for his health, having been
made Baron de Hruguayana by the Empe
ror, as a reward for his services. The next
condition.it Is said, was the recall of the
Brazilian Ambassador'ln the Rlv* Plate.
Thishaß also been complied with. Bat, as
yet, no one has been appointed instead of
Minister Ootariano. It is not without reason
that the people expect much from the new
Commander, for he has had everything his
own way. lam afraid though that in their
fond hopes they have entirely lost sight of
. President Lopez and his stern determination
and acme ounning.
As very few volunteers are to be had, re
cruiting goes on but with little success, not
more than five or six hundred men being
sent South in a month.

T BAGEDY Ilf PORTAGE COUNTY,OHIO.
A Woman Shbt Dead toy a Young Man-
Escape ol tbe Harderer.
On Monday morning last a terrible mur
der was committed at Mogadore village,
Portage county, Ohio, the particulars of
which we obtain from the Portage county
Democrat; About ten o’clock on the fatal
morning, a yonng man of less than twenty
years entered the house of William A. Mas
son, when no one but Mrs. Masson and a
lad of scarce six years were its occupants,
and with a navy revolver, coolly and deli
berately shot down and murdered the
wife. and mother, making two false
shots, the third doing its fatal mission.
As the lidentity of the murderer
there is no shadow of doubt.: Wilson Shan
non Roof, was seen by four witnesses, about
the hour.indicated, going in the direction
of Masson’s bouse, By one witness he was
seen to enter the premises of Masson, and
rapidly and coofly approach the house.
Wilh a heart charged with premeditated
and awful murder, he entered the door of
the kitchen and found his victim bending
over her wash tub and her fair haired boy
playing by her side. The poor woman no
ticing the ungracious intrusion,and appalled
at the dick of the pistol shrank with fear
and horrorinto acorner of the room, and
there, at the mercy of the determined
nmrderer, helpless and alone, she faced a
bloody death. Firing one shot, which
missed its victim, but buried itself in the
panel beneath the window, with a merciless
perseverance another shot from the terrible
v> eapon crashed through the window, shat
tering its panes, and the third did its mur
derous bidding, entering the person of the
Roman upon the right Bide between the
third and fourth ribs, passing in a trans
verse direction, pircing the heart and leav
n g the body through the sixth rib on the
■ett side. The victim of this terrible en
counter, now released from the menace of
i be murderer, struggled to the door, uttered
ti shriek, tottered a few paces and fell,
bleeding, into the embrace of death. This
last act in the tragedy had witnesses who
hastened to the house where the fatal
scene had been enacted, too late for augnt
but obsequies to the dead and tenderneiss to
the living and bereaved. .
Seeing that his fiendish work was done,
the murderer sprang through a rear door,
and swiftly hurried himself behind the out
buildings and a hill that intervened to
e.iver his flight. Passing on three-fourths'
of a mile, he met an acquaintance to whom
he said he had committed a murder .in the
n wn. Again, a little farther on, he met an
intimate acquaintance to whom he said he
bad shot Mrs. Musson. Thus, as before
said, is the identity of the murderer fixed
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
The motive of the murder was, probably,
no desire for vengeance upon Mrs. Musson
for any thing done toward young R x>f. As
little or nothirig touobiDgtnis matter has be
come a subject of proof.it would possibly be
premature to make further allusion to it.
The testimony of Mrs. Roof shows that there
was an iil-feeiing between the families of the
deceased and the murderer, on the part of
tbe latter at least.and there the matter of the
motive for the crime must rest until further
developed by testimony.
Mrs. Musson was about thirty-five years
old, possessed much refinement of character,
and was the exemplication of many of tbe
graces and tbe purity of true womanhood.
;-be was universally esteemed and beloved
tiy these who knew her. Her traglo death
is the cause of much sorrow in the commu
nity. Sheriff Jennings offers a reward of
$5OO for the arrest of the murderer.
He has a light complexion, light gray
eyes, light hair, cut short. Five feet eight
or nine inches high, weight about one hun
dred and fifty pounds, smooth face, promi
nent chiD, .good and large teeth, mouth
large—walks very straight and with a pe
culiar gait. Had on when last seen a dark
blue sack coat, light pants and vest
slouched hat. Is a potter by trade and his
finger pails are worn short and thin. Had
a scar on the forehead over the right eye,
about half an inch long, oval shape—also
has sourvy marks on the inside of one shin.
POLITICAL.
Ex-Postmasteb Dennison on the Srru
tion. — The following is a letter just received
by a prominent official from ex-Postmaster-
General Dennison on the political situation:
Miami, Ohio, Nov. 23. —1 have some anxi
ety in regard to the temper of our friends in
Congress in respect to the President, but
hope it will be of a dignified and moderate
nature, as displayed in word and act. lam
wholly opposed to all impeachment move
ments, unless the President has been doing,
or shall do something that will make it im
perative upon Congress to vindicate its
honor or preserve the peace of the
country. As to his policy the peoDle
have pronounced their veraict upon it, and
Congress may well leave it, only carrying
out by proper legislation the will of the peo
ple as expressed in that verdict. I Bhali be
glad to see an improvement in the temper of
i be President, and will hail with great satis
faction co-operation with Congress
in securing the adoption of the amendment
by the Southern States: I have really only
kind personal feelings towards the Presi
dent, and will be sincerely gratified to see
him cut loose from the Democratic party,
and unite his fortunes with the Republicans.
I wantto see the Union permanently and
completely restored upon the basis of the
amendment. If the Southern States per
sist in their opposition, and reject that
wholesdtne measure, I. will be prepared,
with my political friends, to compel
a restoration upon such terms as will
give permanent peace and security to the
nation, however opposed the ruling classes
of the South may be. We caanot af
foid to have another war, if positive mea
sures can avert it We must prevent, under
any ciroumstances, this old leaven of the
rebellion to resume its sway in national
egislation. I confess to not comprehending
the President What he hopes to accom
plish to give historical eminence to his ad
ministration, I cannot conceive. Without a
party, in or out of Congress, except so far
as he may have courted the Democratic,
which is powerless to produce results, what
great measure or series of measdres can he
hope to accomplish ? If he hopes to aohieve
anything of permanent value, including the
Mexican business, he will be disappointed.
The country is giving little heed to our
foreign concerns. All of its thoughts are
directed to home matters, which Congress
controls, and will absolutely control until
March 4,‘ 1869, or the close of the Presiden
tial term. If the Southern States shall, in
the meantime, be fully jtestored to the
Union, and their representatives admitted
to Congress, that body will have all the
glory, as such results oan only be with its
consent and upon its terms. It really seems
as if the President was steering the ship of
state without rudder or compass, and with
out any definite port for its final haven.
Nor is it possible tor it to be otherwise. His
very Cabinet organization requires it. T

doubt whether he has the hearty sym
pathy, or at least the concurrence, of one
thiid of bis Cabinet. Nor can he improve
bis condition by any change. If he then
hurries bodily into the arms of the Demo
cratic party, and calls members of that
party into his Cabinet, it. will compel the
withdrawal of more or less of the remaining
members in a very short time, while he will
secure little more sympathy from the Demo
cratic members. The truth is that the De
mocratic party do not intend to be swallowed
up by the President. It will preserve its
organization for the future, however dis
tant, and have nothing to do, with tbe Pre
sident except so far'as he may aid in that
preservation. If he hesitate to comply with
its wishes it will cut aloof from him inconti
nently and mercilessly. I would be glad to
see tbe President repair his mistakes ere the
close of his administration. ..
A Man in a Million.—Mr. Beecher
related the following incident in one of
his sermons:
“Not long ago a gentleman who was
engaged in the oil business had made
’some twelve or fifteen thousand dollars,
and he concluded that he had made
enough—extraordinary as it may seem
—and that be' would wind up his aflairs
and come home. Ido not believe one of
you would have done it! Fifteen thou
sand dollars! Why, that is just enough
to bait the trap of mammon. Well, he
wound up his affairs, and was on the
point of leaving, when? he was met by a
young man of his acquaintance (I be
lieve they both reside iuNew York),who
bad invested six thousand dollars, all he
had, in an experimental well, and had
been boriDg and boring until he had
given out in discouragement. And com
ing to this man, he said, ‘I shall lose six
thousand dollars if I am obliged to give
up my interest in that well,’and begged
him to take it off his hands. ‘I am sell
ing out,and nottakingon,’ says the man.
But the young man plead with him,and
out of personal kindness he said, ‘Very
well, I will take it.’
“In two days they struck a vein in
this \vell,and it was an immensely fruit
ful! well, and he sold his share for two
hundred thousand dollars. The young
man was present when the check was
drawn on. New York for the amount,
aud he felt like death and mourned, and
said ‘lt is always my luck; I am always
i a little too late. And the man said,
‘You may take ten thousand of it if you
wants’ The young man thought he
was jesting, but he assured him that he
was not,and said, ‘I will make it twenty
thousand if it will do you any good.
Or,’ said he, ‘I will make it fifty thou
sand.’ ‘Well,’ said he, ‘take the whole
of it, Ido not want. Give me the six
thousand, and you may have the advan
tage of the good luck.’ And so he gave
the young man the advantage of the
two hundred thousand. All of you that
would have ddue that may rise up.”
Curious Behavior of a Portland
Girl. —A beautiful young lady of Port"
land (“exposed” in a letterto the Boston
Herald), frequently, during the past
> ear, has been in the habit of getting
herself up as an aged man, and coming
to town on the cars. In her disguise
she wouldstroll about the city to her
heart’s content, and return home to tell
the few friends in the secret of the fun
she had enjoyed. If spoken to, she
feigned deafness. The venerable form
had become quite familiar in the streets
of Portland; but none dreamed that be
neath those gray hairs nestled soft
auburn ringlets; that beneath those
green goggles sparkled a pair of roguish
eyes. But the romantic young heroine
cume to grief. Protracting her strolls
too long the other day, the train was
leaviDg the station just as she limped
into the depot. A smart run enabled the
foolish girl to throw herself upon the
rear platform, but just as she did so,
away went hat, wig and goggles. Two
gentlemen on the rear platform were
considerably astonished, but the young
lady had sufficient presence of mind to
explain in a few frightened sentences the
position of affairs,and it being nightfall,
the gentlemen, who proved to be the
genuine article, got the girl to her home
without further publicity.
An Abused Trust.— Judge Bryan Mul
ianpby, of St. Louis, Missouri, died about
fifteen years ago. His will contained the
following clause: “One equal undivided
third of all my property, real, personal and
mixed, I leave to the city of St. Louis, State
of Missouri, in trust, to be and constitute a
fund to furnish relief to all poor emigrants
and travelers coming to St. Louis, on their
way, bona fide, to settle in the West.” By
this clause the city came into tbe possession
of a property valued at something more

Singular Arrest. — A tailor called
Wimmer was recently found murdered near
Vienna, and bis murderer, a hautboy player
in the orchestra of the Harmonic Theatre,
was arrested on Sunday night. A singular
circumstance connected with this orime was
the manner in which Marcher was arrested.
On Sunday night he was in his place in the
orchestra aB usual, and played the muslo as
signed him diligently. Meanwhile the
police, who were upon his track, arrived at
the theatre, and not wishing to makes
public scandal and interrupt the perfor
mance to boot, they placed officers at the
different outlets, ana when Marcher issued
from the orchestra after the last piece of
muslo had come to an end, he was received
by a commissary and . four soldiers, who
conveyed him to the Bureau do Police,
where he confessed his crime. .
