Rio Janeiro, August 25, 1897. The most intense anxiety nes to prevail Abroughout the empire, and especially im this city, ia regardto the news from the River Plate, as the hour appriaches for the decisive blow, so long deferred, to be annginced, Canards of al! colors fly through the city, and /be most absurd rumors ‘sre afloat in respect to the new, which for the last fortnight has been expected wit feverish impatience from the seat of war, The wek just ended calarly was one of conflicting emo- tins, At one time a steamer, decked out in gay bunt- ig, was announced a3 crossing the bar of Rio Grande # Sul, five hundred miles from here; then another as foing inte’ Santos, which was reported by telegraph. Poor telegraph! It has been made responsible for all sorts of lies never transmitted over {ts innocent wires, All this, I suppose, is very natural, as news of positive and infallible operations is expected, and the allied army has undertaken a bold movement and a march having for its aim either of two important results—one is to surround the enemy at Humaitd; the other to com- 1 bim to leave his intrenched position and accept a pitched battle, The Grst arrival from Montevideo since my last was on Monday, the 20th instant, with dates from Ilapird (Paso de Patria) to the 34, and from the advancing army, then at San Solano, to -the 2d. The allied troops had enor- mous difficulties to overcome before arriving at shat point, which they found abandoned by the Paraguayans, after baviug set fire to the place, The great care of the generals then was to maintain their communications free with Tuyuty, 80 a3 not to have their supplies mter- cepted. The enemy, however, had already succeeded in capturing eight hundred head of cattle ou their w: the alties. Keeping on their invading march t have at last arrived at agmall place called Tuyuc the rear of Humaitd, which ts 10 sight—oue writer says within a leaguo. All the allied army 1s concentrating there, but whether for an assault or a regular siege of the famous strongaold is not known, The French packet from the Plate arrived bere the day after the receipt of the foregoing news, bringing the important information that the President of the Thomas 13th. We con Argentine republic, General sitré, had arrived at Tuyn- cué and taken command of the army, thus supersed: the Marquis de Caxias, who has done all to place the army in its present advantageous (?)

On with them a few of tne settlers. The wool trade has declined very much, and, In short, all the pre- monitory symptoms © an approaching revolution, on s scale, are making themselves apparent.

Such is the sort of patriotiam in most | of the South American repubtics. | Tho American steamer, Catharine Whiting, lately ar- rived bere from New Orleans with immigrants, has been | fined by the official agout of colonization in the sum of | eighteen coutras of reis (about $9,000) for bad treatment | of the passengers, There has certainly been great neglect on the part of those responsible, imattending to the com- fort of so many people entrusted to their ee Sut, the fing Is a very heavy one, While on the subject of immigration, I may as well state the following significant fact:—On the 14th inst., Deputy Verissimo de Matto, a supporter of the present government, in a long speech in the Chamber of Depu- ties, made use of the following significant ianguage:— My opinion about colonization is that we should prefer, first of ali, those of the same longuage; secondly, those of the same religion: and, in the third place, those of the same race, the Latin, If not, we shall, instead of attracting colo- nists, entice conquerors; and ud Africa gave the name of Airicanus to Scipio, its conqueror, wo shall give our name to our conquerors; those who, instead of engrafting them. selves on our population, will absorb our nationality aud substitute their own for it, ‘ Another beautiful case of Brazilian jurisprudence has recently transpired. An Englishman, named Waters, second engineer on the Brazilian corvette N ctheroy, visited a house of ill-fame one night, when a row took Place, in which Mr. Waters was concerned. Boutles were flung liberally at his head, which Mr, Waters re- turoed with true British vigor ‘Bullies were cailed in, but the Englishman cleared the house of them in less than no time. At length, howe: be succumbed to the police, and was marched off to quod. The case was 80 small that a moderate fine, or a few days in durance vile might have atoned for the immorality of the delin- quent. Instead of this mild course, he was kept in jail for upwards of four months, then tried before a jury, by woom he was unanimously acquitted. In spite of this the Judge has appeaiod, and the prisoner awaits the decision of a higher court, which may order him to be tried a second time. Is not such a law barbarous? The Earl of Dundonald, son of the famous Admiral of that title, is staying at the Exchange Hotei, ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTH. VIRGINIA, General Schofield’s Order for an Election on the 22d of October. Fortress Monrog, Sept. 18, 1867. The recent order of General Schofield, in pursuance of the act of Congress of March 23, 1867, directing an elec- tion to be held for delega'es to a State Convention and to take the sense of the registered voters upon the ques- tion whether such convention shall be beld for the pur- pose of establishing a civil government for the State of Virginia loyal to tho Union, appears to moet with the heartiest approbation of the people of all the counties in this section of the State, The order states that the nomber of delegates to be elected will be one hundred and five, to be apportioned among the counties and cities of the State as follows:— First=The city of Rchmond sha’l elect five delegates, Second—=the county of Norfolk and city of Portsmouth shall elect three delegates, The other delegates are properly ap- portioned to be elected in the other counties and election districts, which have been designated. Thir’=The polls will be opened at every place of voting the other h od that the two generals are in 4, the Marquis having voluntarily surren- dered the command to Mitré, the original general-in- ch Another report is that the Marquis was in favor of au immediate assault, with the co-operation of the fleet, but that Miiré votes fora regular siege, and that now everything that Caxias has done will be undone; that Mitré bas gone to the front after ali the d ficult work has been done by Caxias and the way prepared for a victory, the glory of which ought to only gelong to the Marquis. Tbe Argentines are, of course, ‘ted at the Prospect of such a victory, now that their chief is at the head of the army, and will certainly claim ail the honor resulting from it. I fear, however, that the allies calcu- late only on what they desire to’ do, and have almost Jost sight of and forgotten the ability of Lopez aud the Patriotism and bravery of his followers, who, by the by, are said not to be so few in numbers as they have been lately reported, for tho Marquis Caxias himself judges them to be at least forty thousand; but this must be an exaggerati n. The combined movement agreed upon between the Marquis and the Admiral (s for the latier to force at all hazards, with his iron-clads in two divisions, the passage in front of Humaitd, and thereby obtain full control of th) whole Paraguay river up to Ascencion; and cut off all communication between the capital of the republic and Humaita, while the Marquis attacks Lopez at differ- ent points around the fortress. Should the fleet fail in asending the river, nove can tell what the consequence will be, for Lopez, having no enemy in the rear, may place the allies in the same dangerous situation in which the Brazilian genera! desires to eatrap the Paraguayan f. Undoubtedly the Paraguayans have so far the advantage of positions, which wero probably seleced Jong time before the war. They have chosen the most ithy and elevated spots on the banks of their rivers for their strategic points. Aimost ali of these are sur- rounded by impenetrable forests, lakes, marsbes and jungles, where fevers of the most mahgnant types ex- terminate the foreigner, but are harmless to the native. The health of tue allied army, however, at present is excelleat, as this is the fue season; but bot weather is not far off, and if something decisive is not done very soon many thousand lives will be the forfeit, On the advance towards fuyucué some few encounters betwee the opposing forces took piace, The report is that the Paraguayans were generally routed, having lost between three aud four huudred men in the several fights, be- sides a number of arms aud otner trophies of War, Tv my last I mentioned something about the disasters that Lappesed to a smali Brazistan force that had been sent to the province of Matto Grosso to drive out the Paraguayans that occupied some portion of that distant Brazilian provi IT have now to record something in the way of a triumph, though on a small scale, of a portion of that force, which bad been separated from the main body and sent to attack the fort at Corumpé, four bundred miles of, The news arrived soveral days ago, in the form of a telegram two months old, by way of Santos, stating that Corumb4 nad boen captured, and the Paraguayaus, who were taken by surprise, driven out of the little village, which ies at the veadwaters of the Parané. This small place was ono of the first taken by the Paraguay at the beginning of the war, It ‘was garrisoned by a mere handful of men, and bas been very litte attended to by Lopez of late. his achie: ment on the part of the Brazilians is regarded bere as a great victory, and as it seems to console the people for many reverses till now sustained {t would be more chur- lishvess to find fault with their exuitation over such a grand achievement, The ales continue to be pretty successful in the ap- plication of their balloon to war purposes. Recently two engineers remained aioft for five bours overlooking the enemy's encampment, when they discovered that some of the Paraguayan fortifications on their extreme lett had been demolisned, aod that they had concentrated their forces on their right, whore they rightly suspected ‘an attack, and had cut a number of ditcves, which wore already filled with water, to resist the advance of the allies. It is said that the allies will bring Into act!ve opera- tion forty-five thousand men. This seems more hkeiy than forty thousand on the side of the Ten thousand of the Brazi with the cele- nd to be wise in ‘s some unforeseen obsiacie intervenes, the troops of Lopez will be ovor- wheimed, however well intrenched.

From early morning till now wagons of all shapes and sizes, delegations with bands, devices, Union flags and hickory bushes, have been pouring into this town to the democratic mass meeting, at which Clement L.

Just alter sending my first despatch in the afternoon about the democratic mass meeting, a sudden change took piace in the weather, and clouds and rain were substituted for the bright sunshine of the morning. Those who had gathered on the meet. ing ground returned to town and filled to overflowing the various stores and saloons, Fortunately it cleared up in less than half an hour, and when dinner had been disposed of an immense procession started forth, on foot and in vehicles, to a very handsome grove on the out- skirta.

He be- Neved that all had come here with the determination and desire to perform their duties. He did not believe these lectures to republican members of the Convention Were profitable or necessary.

It might be the boast of the democratic mem- aed a fom ihe commasenanens: of the session to ane ime, with perhaps one or two exceptions in bate, they had not sought to bring polities lato our discussions. They bad diligently and tntelli- gently with the majority for the purpose of making a good constitution. There was no propriety in lecturing them, or the republican members either. We had lec- tures here repeatedly from republican mombers as to our duty in attending to business, More fault had been found in this chamber, and by the press trom that quarter than from the democrats, There were some members here who sought to occupy the position of whippers-in on certain occasions, and he Tepelled the necessity for any such endeavors, No one could endure the continuous physical labor required by these Jong and continuous sessions without rest, and there was but one member of the Convention (Mr. Greeley) who had taken that rest while the Convention was in session, pacahier.) The Convention had not adjourned over during the hot weather, but had worked on through the snmmer months; and if they had not concluded their labors it was in consequence of the magnitude of the work to be done.
