Bumros Arazs, July 27, 1865. ‘Tho war against Paraguay continues, with little pros Peet of a epoedy close. The cocupation by Paraguay of the chiof part of the province of Corrientes ‘has not @hanged, nor is there any prospect of Brasil being, for a ‘while, ablo to drive them out of RioGrande. No great ‘Movoment has yet been made by the allies, The best @eason for their advance has not yet come. The forces ar- Fayed are the greatest in numbers ever assembled in Sout America, | * ‘ MOVEMENTS AND PREPARATIONS OF THB BELLIGERANTS. President Lopes takes immediate direction of the Par- saguayan army, and President Mitre, assisted by one ex- President and four Governors, commands the allies. Tho emperor of Braml has gone in person to Rio Grande to stir up the war feeling. As no important blow has been ‘struck after so many months, and as the most formida- ble preparations are still golng forward, we may expect a war of unusual severity and duration. TRE BRAZILIAN NAVY ‘of fourteen gunboats is near Corrientes. It has had one trial of strength with the Paraguayan fleet, and it resulted greatly tn favor of Brazil. The Paraguayan fleet has the aa@vantage of boing supported by land batteries at any point they choose, and they do not venture a battle with- ‘owt such afd. Ag the river is nowhere too wide for such assistance it makes a small force equal to a lange one. : CENTRALIZING EXPECT OF TUK WAR. It ts believed that tbis must be the last war in these countries for a long time. It has natiomalized these provinces and combined their forces so that another in- torna! war will hardly be possible. The progress of im- provements, and especially the construction of fine farms and railroads, must make war a luxury too expen Bive to be often indulged in. a STEAM TO NEW YORK.

Auction Sale of Balloon Tickets—The Ascension and Course Steered, &e. According to announcement, Professor Lowe's balloon, the Quaker City, ascended on a voyage last evening from the enclosed grounds, corner of Fifty-ninth street and Sixth avenue, just at the entrance to the Park. During tho day great numbers of persons, as usual, arrived on the grounds from all parts of the city, and by the different public conveyances, to see the balloons that ‘and the use to which they are put. A great ber of ascensions were made inthe balloon ‘ pico which was hold fast below by meags Gf a rope. But as all wat dggoribed before ‘fi the Henan there is no over the came ground. _ Betwodn four and five o'clock the grounds were pretty well filled with am anxious and ourtows crowd, who were desirous toace the ascension of the Quaker City. Many } of these hed seca the-other balloon go up for eight hun- dred feet or se, held bys rope; but by far the largor number bad never witnessed so stupendous e feat as a circular ship sailing in the sir-without the aid of either sails or steam; and maayand dire were the cenjectures respecting the fate of the aerial mariners who should -venture their precious lives at such a height as was con- templated above terra firma, according to the notions of some of the spectators. One elderly tady actually in- formed a younger one, who might have been her daughter, .- that the balloon was expected to go up to the height of at least fifty miles. “But,” interrogated the young lady, “suppose the gentlemen should fall from such a height, would they not be dead from loss of breath before they reached the ground?’ “Nonsense, child,’ said an old gentleman who was with them, and was, of course, the youw lady’s «ss uncle; =“ at the height of fifty .miles they will be beyond the earth’s attraction, and may possibly hit the attraction of the moon, and’’—‘Halloo, old gentleman, you are treading on my corns,” called out a young dandy who was endeavoring to light his cigar with a match he had just ignited. Here the colloquy ended; and perhaps profound dissertation on the practicability of reaching the moon, with a description of the inbabitante, human and beastial, and other matters pertaining thereto, was cut short. ‘At length the time approachod for the doparture of the Quaker City to the upper regions, when it was announced that two tickets would be sold at auction to such persons as wished to undertake the aerial voyage. The first ticket, on being put up, received at once a bid for $25, which increased at the rate, sometinres of $10 and some- times of $5 each bid, which succeeded each other very briskly, till the ticket was kmocked downtfor $100. The other Woket brought $40. - von s Nothing now remained but to cast loose and bid good- by to those below. This was soon done, and o easily that none of that fuss was observed that formerly attend- ed a balloon ascension, when it was necossary for some two dozon bags of sand to be attached to the lower cords, with'a stroig man to each, to hold om and to unh the right moment.

Nota clond obscured the heavens from horizon to zepith, and the wind murmured in gontle zephyra.

As the rapidly rose the earth an Irish girl, who had witnessed with admiration several ascen- Bi with @ rope attached to the during the fag, exclaimed, “Holy Mother of Moses! what a ty such @ oeautiful balloon should be lost!"’ thought it had broken from ite moorings and wouid never return—never, in her absorption of feeling, in regard to the thing, bape re 2 the men who were ia it. ing an altitude ‘On gain’ of a few hundred feet the grace- fal machine, undor the impulse of a scarcely perceptible breeze, took a ly direction, when it remained poised in gir, almost without the wind having ceased.

Numbers of persons were consiantly arriving and depart- be aa desirous of vinwing the city by gasirght, and others of witnessing the pyrotechnic display. The scene from the aerial car at night is described as having been macnifeently grand, the long rows of street lamps, when viewed from the giddy height, appearing like an army of stars upon a dress parado, and the steamers upon the Sound and Hudson river seem all aglow, and appear to advantage against the dark background. As soon as it was dark smal! paper balloons were sent off at stated intervals upon special service. Suspended about two fect beneath the miniature balloons were red and blue lights, and these would burn until they had reached a height of one hundred fifty feet in the air, when they would throw out Is of variegated fire, until some of tho sparks would set fire to the balloon, when the display would be ended.

More than three years have olapsed since the Sioux Indians of Minnesota ignored their treaties with the United States and engaged in that murderous raid, un- paralleled in cruelty, during which the frontier settle- ments of Western Minnesota, Northwestern Iowa and Dak broken up, and more than a thousand de- fatale Shs, Rota dt citdren were slaughtered in colg blood. ia ieee > After 4 somewhat protracted struggle these hostile banda were forced to leave the State of Minnesota, and Passed over to the valley of the Missouri, where they succeeded in allying with themselves a large proportion of the UpperSioux ‘ribes of Dakota. Thus reinforced by several thousand Indians, speaking the samo language with themselves, who for several years past had shown a growing uneasiness and disposition to become trouble- some, they made common cause against the whites, and havo succeeded in setting at open defiance the authority of the government in that entire region of country; amd to-day they roam at will over its vast prairies, if not un- moleated, certainly unsubdued and unchastised. Those persons who are not thoroughly acquainted with the practical operations of the government in its deal- ings with these hostile tribes naturally inquire why it is that, with the thousands of troops already in the Indian country, with the fact before them that three campaigns have been made against these Indians during tho last three years, that these expeditions have been the targest-and best equipped ever sent by the govern- ment against the Indians, involving as they have done an expenditure of many millions of dollars, these hostile bands have not been subjugated and cempelled to lay down ir arms, cease their hostility and acknowledge the auMority of the government. The first thing to be accomplished, if you really deatre to subdue arband of hostile Indians, is to caich them. This has never been done, save in one or two instances, since the Sioux were driven from Minnesota. Our In- dian expeditions have invariably moved from Sioux City, Towa, some time in June, accompanied with heavy trains, and succeeded in reaching the con held by the hostile Indians in July or August. After following tho Indian trails and listening to Indian reports for a few weeks they have returned about October, and again gone Into winter quarters, At any time from the lst of lay until the middle of November the Indians can sub- ‘sist anywhere upon the opea prairies. They can make their own election—either fight the troops or let it alone. Wf they see fit to make a stand they can do se, If they preter to break up into small hands and harass the flauks and rear of an army they can do so; or.if the: choose to separate and scatter’ over the plaing in single families it is perfectly safe for them to do so, With thi gondikion, of things the Army of gh in its ays could no more attier these Indians together than they could th hiackbirds of the Western States. As the "8 advance the Indians fall back, subsisting them- selves upon the game which they kill in sight of our. men. This took place in the campaign of last year, Atter having led the troops as far as they desired the Indians scattered, and left the army to retrace its steps to Sioux City and reoccupy its old winter quarters, So far os loss of men is concerned the Indians have decidedly the advantago—at least three to one. From reliable information obtained from officers and privates who eran the expeditions up the Mis- souri in 1863 and in 1864, Iam satisfied that both expe- ay did kill twonty-five Indian warrjors.

Kmasrow, Jam., August 14, 1366, The Laborers uf Jamaica and Their Troubles—Their Aileguk Lariness—Interview with the Governor, and Argum wis * Proand Con, de. As everything relating to tne emancipated blacks o the British West India colonies must be interesting (o the people of the United States at this particular junc ture, and as affairs on this island wear at present = vory peculiar aspect, I think it advisable to keep you posted, aa well ag I am able, ou Jamaica matters generally. So £ embrace the opportunity offered by the sailing of a vounot from this place for New York to send you some partiou lars, additional to those given you in my last, relative to the Hon. Mr. Cardwell’s letter—‘the Queen’s letter," as it ig styled here—to the Jamaica negroes. The most notable event in connection with that docu- ment, and with the distress and popular discontent 10 Prevalent here, that I have now to chronicle, is the fact of a deputation of black men having waited upon his Kx collency the Governor, afew days since, with the view of presenting to hima series of resolutions passed at « ‘meeting of blacks in the parish of St. David, about thre» Weeks ago, recounting the grievances under which they are laboring, which resolutions the: juested him to transmit the Becretary of State for the Colonies. The Consisted of seventeen colored men, aud was Seay by teetesterscaie srieten ‘Fe ves u Ly the of Assembly. ‘The Governor said he was happy to receive the ; but although it was his duty to transmit resolutions they him to forward to her Majesty’ Secretary of State for the Colonies, he felt bound to in. tions. Ho did hesaid, that there was in the country, but it of the character described 1m the resolutions. The distress that was felt wus not among the able bodied persons like the deputation them selves, but among poor {males of the towns of the island. If a large majority of the people were toexert (hemsolves honestly in laboring for thoir daily subsistonoe thoy could with facility elevate themselves to a social position which he would be glad to see them . The people here, he remarked, were satisfied to wore only for a tow hours, and that being the cage, how could they expoct to ameliorate their social condition? In other countries, where the peasantry were less favored by climate and other facilities, they work from daylight to dark, and thus carn sufficient to place them without the pale of want and destitution. The Jamaica laborers had thoro- fore the advantage over others abroad, whicl advantage, however, they did not seem (a ap~ preciate; ‘and he ‘was therefore convinced that they could if they desired be in a better position than the laborers of other countries. There was laud enough on the island which they could bay or ront which would enable them to carry on their own cultivation to advantage. In reply to these remarks the doputation satd that land could not be obtained, as the peasantry wishet it, or wereaable to purchase it, as the large proprietors would not now sell less than several hundred acres at 4 time. Besides, they could not yrow their produce with safety asthe eattio of the, large proprietors were allowed roam about and trespassed generally on their provision tlelds. As to the question of industry, there were so few estates in cultivation that the people could not An® omployment com hl gncay, and even When they did labor on the estates for ono shilling and sixpence (thirty-five cents or thereabouts) a day, when pay day came the wages, OD one pretence or another, were reduced to one half that sum; and if they went to tho courts to scok their rights they had to loso several days in attending there, owing to the absence of mi tes to preside; and if they succeeded in recovering hg thay the eatate to work they wi of.
