News, Rio Jaygio, May ®, 1867. Very sad and discouraging has been the news from the River Plate since the departure of the last American Steamer. Another drawback and another misfortune. Instead of the glorious news so anxiously expected by the over sanguine, the last arrivals from Montevideo Ihave brought despatches to the government reporting ‘the invasion of the allied camp by the most dreaded of ‘@nemies—the cholera, This terrible epidemic existed in Montevideo and Buenos Ayres for some time, but ina vather mild form. Within the last three weeks, how- ever, it has greatly increared in Buenos Ayres, and, ‘asconding the Parani and Paraguay rivers, ponetrated fwto Corrientes, Curuzi and Tuyuty. In Curuzi it took ‘off two thousand seven hundred Brazilians in four days, ‘thereby compelling the allies to abandon the front at ‘Toyuty, and to change their quarters, To make matters still worse, the Brazilian Commander- $0-Chief wes compelled to detach a force of two thousand men from the front to‘ reinforce the garrison at Cor- Fientes—the report having got abroad that the natives of ‘that city and neighborhood, in their flendish ignorance, ‘were preparing to destroy the hospitals in the city, foolishly atiributing the visit of this ternmble Asiatic Scourge vw the presence of the anfortunate Brazilian soldiers, as if they could have packed up the cholera in their Knapsacks and then scattered it broadcast among ‘the Correntinos, It mg Delieved, though, that the strengthening of the garrison of Corrientes was merely a pretext for a diver- sion in favor of Paraguay, at the bead of which was the motorious Genera! Urquiza, the false friend of Brazil. ‘This worthy has never yet stricken one blowin the field dunng the war. Whenover there was any fighting {0 be done his command was certain to dissolve away, ike the old Highland clans, with this very great @iference, however—the Highlanders always fought first, and made tracks for home afterwards, whether victorious or defeated. The rumor is that Urquiza has “ten thourand men this side of Corrientes, and that he thes declared against the alliance. Should all this be ‘true, the Brazilians are caught ma trap not 80 easy to eecape from. Paraguayans in front, revolted Argentines ‘$n the rear and cholera in the midst, is a fearful triad of enemies to contend against The Brazilians may ‘find consolation in the knowledge, however, that chol- ‘@ra is no respecter of persons, but is quite impartial in ‘the selection of its victims, not being likely to epare iv mere o- Brazilians, game, having Opportunity in order 1 like the caterans of oid, blackmail on the Brazilian government, Be all this as it may, it is certain that the Brozilians ave one more difficulty to overcome. 1 do not say the alles, the Brazilians are almost alone now, and aro likely to be entirely so soon. It ts to be hoped that their soi-disant allies will not turn into deciared enemies ‘before the war is over, The last dates from the front aro up to the 21st ultimo. ‘Nothing of importance bad occurred between the bel- Ngerenta The Marquis de Caxias was, as far as ho veould, preparing his troops for a grand attack on the (Paraguayan lines as soon as Baron de Herval should iDave crossed the river with his contingent, su to mber about six thousand men; but before the latter can form a junction with Caxias he will have to fight ‘and beat the Ps ayan General Reequin, with three thousand men some artillery, who is waiting to wel- come bim with » vengeance on his side of the river. It s rumored that General Mitre will resume the com- ‘mand of the army immediately after the opening of the a but there is little probability of the event ; he was only too glad of an oppor- ‘tunity of from that command, for which he ‘was totally unilt. 1 know and cap assure the readers of tho Heratp that Caxias, contrary to his judgment, wil! give that battle, ‘Doing preseed into it from without through the influ- ence of his staff, allies, home government and others, ‘who really bave no idea of the enormous difficulties the poor old Marquia has to contend against. Under such ‘circumstances it is easy enough to foresee the result of erent of Oe rreetes ee How very like the “on to Richmoud” cry in 1861 is all thie. vies The partial revolutions and military revolts in some of the Argentine provinces are extinct for the time being. ‘What will bappea in three months is maiter of very vgerious conjecture, A large number of conspirators and @thers involved in the late disiurbances have emigrated j€o Chile and Bolivia, and wil very likely loiter about the tiers, watching the chance for a recommencement ‘of their briliant doings, .

COELHO DE 84’ E ALBUQUERQUE. To senor J. W. Wenn, LOCAL YEwa, Under this bead I have only the following to trane- mit:—An American sailor pamed Smith deserted from the United States gunboat Huron last week. le was arrested by Lieutenant Elliot, of the same when Smith broke from him, upon which the offices. shot him with @ revolver. The wounded man died three days after, The Lieutenant was arrested and sent to prison, where he still remains, On the evening of the 27th ultimo the cook of the American ship Griswold, at anchor in this port, attempted to the captain, chief and second poison mates and stewardess of the said ship by mixing up some noxious drug in their tea, The four intended vic- tims being violently attacked with vomiting, a native doctor was immediately sent for. Ho was successful in relieving them. Next morning Dr. McCord, an American physician, was called in, when a consultation was heid and the course of treatment resolved on by which the two doctors succeeded in saving the hves of the four suf- fercrs. The cook, a negro, by the name of Louis Caller, was arrested and is now in jail. SHORT BUT SEVERE TORNADO. On Sunday last, between twelve and one P. M., a sud- den squall of great violence swept over the bay of Rio and through the city. It was accompanied by a rea! old- fashioned tropical shower, causing every room with a window opening to windward to be deluged in’a twink- ling. Ia the barbor the waves rose to that eminence olten heard of, but, like ghosts, never seen, mountains high. Several’ boais were capsized, and the Dickens, whoever he may be, was played generally. On shore large trees were torn’ up by the roots and overthrown; cabs were actually blown over, and the streams in the streets ran nearly knee deep. 'In houses, hinged glass windows open to the blast had a generai smash-up, cut- ting out many a fat job for the ** glass-put-in’’ man. The heigh¥ of the storm occurred just as the worshippers at the English cuapel were so faron their return home from service ag to experience the full benefit of the drenching.

Bugvos Avres, April 27, 1867. ‘The most exciting event of these times is the preva- lence of the cholera in this city and in nearly all the towns of the Plate. It had been at various towns in Brazil, but was not raging violently, when the fre- quent sending of troops and war vessels to the seat of war extended it rapidly along a range of river towns of the Plate for three hundred leagues, In Montevideo, the nearest river Plate city to Brazil, it Gret appeared. But the quarantine regulations wero very strict, and the high location of the town, ona rocic, easily washed, and for the last year very clean, all contributed to health ; so that there may be said to hare been no cholera there. The precautions at Montevideo are said by some to be stupid, so strict were they, but they have been successful. IN BUENOS AYRES, ‘Various cases occurred at this city in the early part of April, but on Monday, the 15th, it extended all over the city. Every physician was out and busy, so that many bad no medical aid, The deaths were over two hun- dred. On Tuesday it still extended, and the cases in- creased in number. The streets were filled with hearses, men died in the street, in the hedges, on the pier, and among the lower orders, where it chiefly prevailed, there inprecedented. was a pane w By Wednesday crowds begaa to throng the railroads to go erp og For two or three weeks many had been but by this time there were not cars to convey the crowds of women and children fleeing from contagion, All the little towns for one hundred miles out were filled to overtiowing.

Two men have died on board the United States steamer Shamoktn in this port. One was acoak and the other asailor. Their disease was not of the epidemic type. The Shamokin leaves to-day for change of air for Colona, across the river—to be gone perhaps a month. AT ROSARIO. The town has been almost deseried. The cholera has been very fatal, and especially among the natives, who live uncomfortably or irregularly.

The following is a copy of an :mportant letter addreased by & number of the prominent citizens of Louisa county, Virginia, to John Minor Botts, Governor Pierpoint and Judge Rives, in reply to a call for a party convention; and in regard to which @ paragraph appeared in our Washington columns yesterday :— To the Hon, Jouw Minor Borts, Governor Pierrowt and Judge Rives:— Louisa, June 10, 1867. Gentuxurs—We have accidentally seen a circular signed by yourselves and 9 few others, calling a convention to meet in Charlottesville on the 4th of July. Itis addi exclusively to those who, like yourselves, were uncondi- tional Union men, and who are members of the repub- Nican party; and therefore necessarily excludes from any participation in your councils ninety-nine of every hun- dred of the white people of Virginia. As Virginians, anxious for the peace and repose of the State, we deeply rearet that you have thought proper to take this step, ‘The time, in oar judgment, 1s most auspicious for 4 movement in precisely a contrary direction for the un instead of the division of our people. Whatever may have been our opinions, feelings or actions in the origin or progress of the great struggle through which We have passed, we can see noreason now why we should not all mect on common ground in united efforts for the general good. The only practical issue before the people of Virginia is the restoration of the State to the Umon.upon the terms which have been prescribed by Congi If there be differences of opinion upon this great and controlling question, division upon that ‘would be proper and legitimate. We take it for granted that you are earnestly aud anxiously in favor of the re- storation of the State to the Union. So are we, and we honestly believe so are nineteen-twentioths of the people of Virginia, Why, then, cannot we unite for the ac- ‘complishment of this great purpose? It will require, we admit, a spirit of forbearance and forgiveness on both sides; but are we incapable of this for the good of the country? Instead, then, of an exclusive convention, composed of a very small class of our citizens, the effect of which must be to engender bad feelin conten- tions, why not unite in the. call of a convention of all who are in tavor of the restoration of the State to the Union upon the terms which have been prescribed—a convention which will unite the people of Virginia, which will secure the assembling of constitutional convention, which wil fil that body with the best and ablest of oar citizens who escape disfranchisement, which will exter- minate the race of small demagogues who are seeking office by means of union leagues and sworn colored voters, and which will secure beyond ail question the Prompt and cordial admission of the State into the Union? Insuch a movement all can unite without any other bond of agreement, and without owing fealty to the one party or the other. The questions which oaco divided us bave, in the progress of events, become ob- solete, and until restored to the Union we have no con- cern with parties or politicians. For ourselves, we indulge the hope that the great soldier who commands the enthusias- tie attachment of his own section and the undivided respect of ours may be the ins‘rument, under God, of overthrowing the despotism of party, of uniting alt our people and of re- storing those fraternal relations which ought to exist among citizens of acommon country; and we believe that the movement we have suggested woald tend to a consummation #0 much to be desired by all good men and patriots, Commending the subject of this letter to your calm and entightened consideration, we are, very respectfully, your obedient servants, William F.

On Tuesday morning last, at two o'clock, the Rev. Peter Ferrall, for two years past assistant priest at the Church of St. Theresa, corner of Henry and Rutgers s.reots, in this otty, departed this life aiter@ long and painful illness. Father Ferrall was born to the county of Longford, Ireland, in 1835, and was consequently in his thirty-second year, At an carly age he evinced a desire to devote himself to the service of his God in the ranks of the priesthood. He was sent to the prepara- tory seminary at Mount Mollary, in the south of Ireland, and there pursued his studies for the sacred ministry until 1855, when be came to America, On arriving in this. city he applied to the late Archbishop Hughes, and informing that worthy prelate of his wishes and inclmations was re- ceived by bim into the district and placed at Si. Joseph's Seminary at Fordham. There he finished his pbilo- sophical aad theological studies, and on July 2, 1859, be was ordained priest and assigned to St. Bridgct's church, After officiaung in this parish fora time he ‘was transferred to St. Mary 8 church, and at Christmas time, in 1864, was made assistant priest at St. Tieresa’s eburch. During his term at college and in the semina- ries, and in bis relations as 8 minister of God, be, by his undoubted talent, untirmg zeal, uoflincoing wuthful- ness, unbounded generosity, untarnished bonor and un- assuming demeanor, endeared himself not alone to his brother clergymen, but to ail with whom he had ‘ever come in contact, ‘The funeral took place yesterday morving from St. ‘Theresa’s church, which was neatly and appropriately draped in mourning, and crowded to repletion long be- fore the time aj ated for commencing the ceremo- nies, In the pews near the altar were some two hundred or more of od mp | Delonging to this and adjoining dioceses, The body of deceased was dressed in purple vestments and placed in a handsonve rosewood burial case canon, tbe Her.” J.

The Power of the Military Com- manders Curtailed. They Have No Authority to Remove the Civil Officers of a State. [From the Washing:on Intelligencer, June 13.) We have authority for the statement that at a very recent consultation of the Cabinet it was decided that the military officers in command of the five districts into which the ten unrepresented Southern States are divided have no power to remove civil oificers deriving their authority from the State governmenis as cow ized, The question, we understand, befere the . more immediate reference to the removai of the Governor and otuer civil officers of the State of Louisiana by General Sheridan, but of course will apply to the action of the other four commanders, No doubt the forthcoming opinion of the Attorney General, in accordance with the reasoning of which it is unde: stood the decision referred to was arrived at, will f justify the legality and propriety of this determination, It scarcely need be suggested that the issuing of orders replacing the deposed olficers (which may beeome ocessary as a consequence of this decision of the gov- ervment) would be po good ground for application on the part of General Sheriaan to be relieved from ‘the position he holds; much less would it warrant the in- ference that the administration contemplates or desizes his removal for his errors. We feel authorized to say ‘that the speculations of sensational journals upon this point, however they may be attempted to be supported y imagined political mancenvres on the part of either the frieads or enemies of the General, are wholly with- out foundation. [From the Boston Advertiser, June 13.) The powers of military commanders and the removal of Governor Wells by General Sheridan formed the main topic of discussion Cabinet meeting on ‘Tuesday night—the first which has been held ‘since the return of the President. We can readily believe that the debate was animated. What was the exact decision of the Cabinet seems not to be very clearly known, if, indeed, any point was definitely decided. It is never- theless reported that, in the opinion of the Attor- ney eneral, such removals as that of the Mayor of Mobile and the Governor of Louisiana cannot jade under the reconstruction acts unless the been figat arrested, tried and conv! a@miliary commission on the execution of those acts. Mr, Stanbery is supported in this view, 8 gome accounts say, by the Prosident and all the Cabinet, except Mr. Stanton. Mr. Johnson, Ought to be, forced in the Louisiana case; certajnly be’ will nof be influenced in his decision by an over- weening fondness for either the deposed governor or the military commander, It is not impossible that the difficulties which may present themselves will pre- vent bim from fully making up bis mind before the Ume passes tor a July session of Congress.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Effect of General Sickies’ Orders Upon People of Chartestoa—A The Negrees in the South Careiina—Their Votes Can be trotied by the Whites. mance, June 5, 1867. General Sickles’ orders in the present exceedingly dull Sate of business almost wholly engrose public atten- tion. Scarceiy had the surprise occasioned by order No, 82, (“enough news for one day’’ according to the Mer- cury,) subsided, when rumors of still more sweeping measures, and the issuing of Nos. 33 and 34 were put ia Ciroulation, According to these the Mayor and Board of Aldermen were to be removed and the police reorganized, Madame Rumor, tn this es im many other cases, was pre- mature, and the pabiic have no far been disappointed, ‘The only party seriously inconvenienced by the report was the Clerk of Council, one of the great Smith family, whose office was crowded with friends anxious to express their sympathy. Order No. 82 bes dealt a severe blow at the only flour iohing business in the city—that of the barroome—one of the prinetpal sources of revenue to: the city treasury, ‘The military jestify the closing of these establishments on the ground of necessary preceution previoes te reg- istration, whieh commences on the let of next moath. ‘The abolition of the remedy of distress for rent rouses the indignation of leadiords, but is a pepular movement, ‘with the masses and the military in the present exorbi. tant rates of font The order, however, te believed to be more especially intended for ibe vrotection ef the 5 freedmen in the country. by giving the laborer’s clam the orops the preference over all other liens. ‘The Cowrier coptains an editorial on the extent of the powers of the military commanders, and claims that they have mo authority ve set aside the civil government or officers of the city or State. By tbe military recopstruction act these are deemed provis‘onal, and can only be semoved by o special act of Congress. It deprecates the effect of these orders u; and says:—*‘Sudden and unexpected changes im laws are always injurious, They create insecurity avd ameasiness, § They atfect capital and trade, They produce that most disastrous condition of affairs where the teoure of right 18 shifting and with. out substance, and where the whole basis of law and of society may, without the voice of the peopie, ve altered With @ stroke of the pen,” A question bas also arisen to whether 6 Sickies caa interfere with the orders and proceedings of the United States C It seems 10 be admitied be tablish m:itary tribunals in their stead; but the action of the United States Court ts based on the constitution of the Caited States, allowing a creditor from States other ihan those of N aud South Carolina w come here apd instit dings to obtain judgment for debts, be given in favor of the prose- cULIOD, W Sickles’ orders prevent the United States Marshal from carrying out an order of the Court for execution on the property of the defendant? It is generally thought, bowever, that the military will not interfere with the United states courts, Tt is ramorea that certain high officials, civil and mili try, are about to publish ere a new datiy paper, Gov~ 4 to be interested. It is to be a no-party, democratic journal, for the special v politicians now on the fence ready to the biggest crowd, A colutun is to be devoted to waive interes of the new class of ciuzens, their enlightenment and tnstrucuon, Reports from the country continue to be of the most cheering description, A correspondent of the News, writing (rom Edisto Island, says:—“the freedmen show Do inciination to dabbie in politics. The great topics of Tegistration and voting which agitate the colored people in the cities and towns receive only a passing notice when broached w the ears of our common field hands, ‘the incompetency of the jatter to appreciate these questions have desipoyed the — interest which they might otherwise fecl, and caused them to settle down upon the wiser’ policy of making corn and cotton, So far as controlling the freedmew vote is concerned, there will be no difficulty. I greatest drawback will be iu inducing them to visit U polis. The line of distinction between the white and colored race is as plainly visible bere a3 ever % was; and the natural embarrassment and novelty of com- mingling with the whites ai the ballot box will be 80 remote from anything the viack man has been accuse tomed to, that many will prefer not voting at all to being subjected to Liis process of exercising a privilege which they lutte comprehend and @bowt which they care lees.

Important Letter from Thomas J. Durant. {From the New Orleans Tribune, June 8 } Mr. Durant, in reply to a iciter from one of vur distin- guished cxt.zens, bas written the following important reply, which we are at liberty to use;:— Wasuinaton Crry, May 27, 1867. Daan Sim—I received yesterday a letter you addressed me on the 22d inst.. aud appreciate highly the kind feel~ ‘ings by which it was dictated. Some of my old and warm friends have algo written me inthe same strain, but I impute this entirely to their good feeling for me. The dignity of the existiog emergency rises above per- sonai considerations, and the great work of restoring Louisiana, tree and just, to a piace in the federal 'nion should not be embarrassed by contention about the fit- ness of any man for the office of Governor or Senator, or what not. So faras I am concerned, it shall not be done with my consent. In tracing out she path of laid down in the act of March 23, 1867, commonly known as the Supple- mentary Reconstruction bill, it seems to me that the final act of transmitting a constitution for the State to the President, to be laid betore cannot well be consummated before the lat of next, nine months hence. Why, then, debate who shall be office holders under s constitution which can only be considered fat that remote period, and which may then be re- jected?
