SOUTH AMERICA, Exhaustion of the Belligerents in Paraguay. Minister Webb’s Mediation Manifesto. Election of Colonel Sarmiento as Argentine President. By the arrival of the English mails at this port esterday we have advices from Kio Janelro to July 2 and from Buenos Ayres to June 28, ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION. xhaustion of the Allies—Men and Money ScarceChances for a Successful Media. tion—Situation of Affairs at Humaita= Freshets Embarrass the Allies=The Crisis at MontevideomWreck of the Steamer Parana. BUENOS AYRES, June 27, 1863, There are many signs of the Paraguayan war being near a close. It is very dificult to say what may be the result, but that it is near is certain. The utter exhaustion of both parties demands a change of pro- gramme. On the part of the allies Brazil feels very much the loss of men. The empire is making great exertions to attract immigration, and ghe spends immense sum3 to promote it, and to lose thirty thousand men per annum is more than Brazil can afford. Money also is expended in enormous sums, which is adding largely to the debt ofthe empire. Uruguay, another of the aijes, has very few men in the field; but these few are so much needed at home that for want of them the Prosident has to call out the militia and to borrow the services of marines from the foreign men-of-war in the harbor of Montevideo to preserve order; and as to money, the government bonds have lately been down to twenty-eight per ceni, Tho Argentine republic is aiso well exhausted in men and money, and tho public sentiment is very much against sending an- other dollar or raan to the front. Paraguay, the other party to the struggle, makes no debt, borrows no money, but calls alike on every citizen for his money, and, if need be, for his life. So complete is their exhaustion that little food, poor clothing, boys and even women aro in the ranks and are among its evidences of lassi- tude. It would be a favorable time for some friend- ly, strong and just government to come in and to end the matter by equitable and enforced terms. ‘There are rumors thai the United States government intends this and the next news on this subject is looked for eagerly. Our latest advices from the front are that Humaité 48 Closely besieged and that the garrison is almost without provisions. Hundreds of soldiers are seen Gally fishing on the river bank, and desertera state that a favorable hour for a sortie will be chosen and @n attempt made to escape. At thesame time an at- tack is expected from Lopez's forces that are now Mear the Tebicuari river. New fortifications are erected by Lopez near tho Tebdicuart river and the new recruits gathered from all parts of Paraguay are gathered there. Lopez is making all his pians for losing fort Humaita, The moral effect of this 1os9 Will be great and Serey: but thus far nothing hhas been able to dishearten the piucky Paraguayans, The Paraguay river has lately been s0 high as to Nearly drive away the lalied pickets that are sta- toned on the peninsula in front of Humaita. To Beek safety from (he water all had to gather up in close quarters and they happened to be under range of a loug guns and their loss was great, a3 for a long time they were not able to return the fire, toescape, nor to find shelter. The loss was said to be heavy but the figures are not known to the public, On the going down of the water the pickets returned to their places. The river is again rising and so deep down is the chain at Fort Humaité that the pro- fect for carrying a steamer loaded with coals is again considered. A Braztitan naval officer has of- fered to take his iron-ciad along on the gunny side, Coals are $200, gold, per ton above the fort. ,There are several tron-clads above Fort Humaiia, and Lopez has seriously thought of pind them by men almost unarmed, This he almost did once, and he expects sill to succeed. He will board them and beep down poisoaous ofr among the men, The expedition so long threatened to feel for Lo- poz’s forces went so far as to cross the Jacaré river, and in the act of crossing the Paraguayans appeared fn force and the allies retreated precipitately, with considerable loss. ‘There is no oficial report of hav- ing seen women in the ranks, but the rumor ia that many entire companies are so constituted. ‘The financial crisis in Montevideo continues. Sev- eral banks have gone down, leaving many millions of (nominal) gold dollar promises to pay afloat with no rea! value. All business is stopped. Every kind of progress is suspended. No one is willing to re- Seer but gold and there is no gold in cir- culation, The United States Minister Washburne is at Asun- cion yet. it was expected that the United States war steamer Wasp would bring him down, but that Vessel was not allowed by the ailles to pass their feet, and the Minister was unwilling to go down to Corrientes to meet the steamer. He is said to be very anxious to come to this city. Most of his sup- plies have ty go to him from here. The money market is not speciaily stringent here, Exchange ou Engiand, fifty pence to the gold dollar. Last week the Parana, an old and favorite trader, artly owned in New York, was wrecked. Captain Pongston saved his family and crew. It was oif Cape San Antonia. Election of Dou Domingo F. Sarmiento as President—Sketch of Colonel Sarmiento Latest Retarns—More About the Crisis at Montevideo. BUENOS AYRES, June 28, 1863, For the supplemental mail I have little to send ex- cept that the returns that came fn yesterday confirm the predictions of the clection of Domingo F. Sar- miento as President, and Governor Adolfo Alsina has @ still larger vote for Vice President. There are 154 electoral votes in the republic; then seventy-elght ‘would be necessary to a choice, From those already heard from Colonel Sarmiento has eighty-three votes for President aad Aisina bas a greater number still. Other provinces yet to report will probably bring up Sarmiento’s electoral vote to about one hundred out of 154. One province, Corrientes, which bad ten votes, held no election, so that it ts really one hua- dred out of 144 Colonel Sarmiento ts of an old Spanish family that came to this country in the days of the Viceroys, three handred years ago. He was born in the province of San Juan and was educated at the Jesnit’s College, Cordoba, He studied law, became a politician, and during a long exile In Chile he gave his whole attention to popular education. The schools of Chile, the best in Sonth Amertca, and their school 8 are mainly the rosult of his untiring exe 1% When @ turn in events occurred here he returned and devoted himself to Schools and to the preparation of elementary schoo! books, Many monuments to bis skill and tndustry exist here, sich as the normal school, the common Behoo! aystemn and (he revised aniversity course of @tudy. When Bartolomeo Mitré became President he called Colonel Sarmiento into his Cavinet as Min- ister of the Interior, where he gave prominence stili to education. On the re-establishment of the na- tionality here tn 1867 Colonel Sarmiento became Military Governor of hia native province, San Ju in that oMce he continued until matters were sat- tied, schools opened, public works undertaken, the capital embellished aod affairs generaily started for- ward.

Ministerial Victory—How the National Fi- Banc are Managed—Great Excitement Over American Mediation and Minister Webb’s Course=News from the Seat of War. R10 JANEIRO, July 9, 1868. Tho Zacharias Ministry has substantially won an important victory in the Senate; for on the 4tha decisive vote was taken on the vote of thanks upon a direct expression of want of confidence, contained in an amendment proposed by Senator Silveira da Motta, of Matto Grosso, aconservador, This amend- ment was defeated by a majority of 28 to 10, the majority including all the conservadors but the pro- poser, who was supported only by the democratic Uberals and one or two moderate liberals, who are opposed to the present government chiefly In regard to the management of the war. The vote of thanks therefore passed as reported by the committee, and to this result the able and moderating speeches of the Visconde de Jequitinhonha, oppost- tion liberal, and of the Visconde de Itaborahy and the Visconde de S. Vicent¢ mainly tended, they advocating the doctrine that the Senate should not “make politics,” and that a direct vote of want of confidence in the ministry would be deroga- tory to their dignity and might bring on an unpleas- ant collision with the Chamber of Deputies, in which the ministry commands @ considerable majority. Although the result of the vote is a relative triumph for the Zacharias Ministry, it 1s anything but an ab- solute one; for the tone of the vote of thanks is one of scarcely veiled hostility, and on the subject of the ministerial programine tn favor of manumission of the slaves there is an expression of the Senate's sorrow that any question in regard to that subject should be ventilated, and in the course of the debates the Ministers were strongly animadverted upon for having broached 4 matter which might create a dan- gerous feeling and movement among the slaves. ‘The business passing in the twochambers 1g not at present of great appanenoe. Action has been taken on various departmental estimates, which have afforded abundant opportunity for crimination and recrimination, but will, of course, be voted, and none of them haye any special features of import- ance; but an extraordinary credit of $8,725,000 ts asked for tho Ministry of Marine during the fiscal year beginning on July 1, 1368, and ending on July 80, 1869, raising the estimated expenditure of that ininistry for the current fiscal year 1868-69 to $10,812,206, or about $1,080,000 more than during the two preceding years of the war. In their system of national bookkeeping the Brazilians follow the French in preference to that adopted in the United States and England. Thus the budgets of expenditure refer to only the ordinary expenses, and the extraordinary are met by Batson credits, voted by the Legislature if in session, but if it be not sitting, then the Emperor has the power of issuing such by @ decree. It is through this mode of treating the national expenditure that the Minister of Finance was enabted in his report to the Chambers tosay that he expected a surplus of $2,000,000 of income over expenditure, because in the latter none of the extraordinary outlays arising from the Para- guayan war were Included, It is needless to say that the extraordinary credits are generally wanted when the Legislature is not sitting, and as spilled milk is not easily licked up clean the Brazilian Com- mons have reaily very little control over the national expenditures, especially as when the time comes that they may make a fuss a new ministry may be Ip, who of course wash their hands of any re- sponsibility. Another eifect of the system is that the year’s accounts may remain unbalanced for four or five years, ag is the case now with those of the first year of the war, which will require an extraor- dinary credit or two yet before anything approach- ing an accurate balance sheet can be drawn up 80 as to afford them an investigation into the disposal of the pubiic moneys. It is expected that the Minister of Finance wil bring in his financial project early next week; bu! the general opinion is that it will do lite more than ask the authorization to issue some $60,000,000 or $70,000,000 more of paper money to pay otf the Treasury bills out, to allow a fiesh loan on them and induce purchases of six per cent bonda, of which an issue of 8,000 was made, just before three per cent of dividend became due on the Ist, at eighty-six per cent. ‘The payment of the Caroline claim of $60,000, to which i referred a month or two back, has created a ternble hubbub in the Chambers, in the press and in the streets, and the excitement reached such a height at the end of last week that reports were cur- rent of the enraged Brazilians meditating nothing jess than a Sicilian massacre of all Uncle Sam’s babies within their reach, However, the Fourth was enjoyed as usual, without signs of tribulation on the part of the infants aforesaid, and as for the knives whetting for vengeance, they confined their cutting and slashing to tough jerked meat and to shovelling black beans, as customary at the festal hours. It is, however, true that great irritation is felt, and that Americans are pot pressed to brazilian bosoms now with that effusion which was (lisplayed in 1861, dur- ing the Christie troubles with Great Britain. In both chambers loud denunciations have been made of the “angenerous pressure” exerted by General Webb to obtain the cash, and the ministry has received much censure for ylelding. Conscliciro Paranhos, who repudiated the claim in 1857, made a hot defence of himself against the exceptions made to his decision by General Webb, and Zacharias came forward and asserted that the United States government was still considering the justice of the claim. General Webb, in consequence, las published a full account of tne claim and the fifteen years’ negotiations. the General alludes toa serious question at present ending. Itis the question raised by Caxias refus- ing to allow the gunboat Wasp to pass the blockade of the Paraguay to receive on board Mr. Washburn and nis family, and J have reason to believe thatthe General despaicues a telegram by this packet, to be sent from Lisbon, requesting instructions to demand unimpeded passage for the Wasp, and in case of refusal to demand his passports, That if such a wish be enforced the Ministry will yield there can be little doubt, however Caxias may kick; and I must admit that the people of Rio do not upliold Caxias in his stupid conceit, for the term which I have in most cases heard when his action was discussed was, “e barram’'—be is a great mule. Several steamers have come in from the river Piate, but the news continues to be what Deputy Tavares Bastos says:—‘‘All 1s peace at the seat of war.’ The land reconnoissance effected nothing, the Paraguayans beating back the 2,000 cavalry and four fleid pieces at every ford of the Jacaré, which they had to cross to get to the Tebicuari, and the only result was nine pri ers and a joss of forty men. In fact, the ole affair was made without energy and was tended onty to furnish mater r a despatch, The reconnoissances wade have developed the tact that while forty thousand men were kept watching two ft icusand inen in Humatta and six fron-clads were ;asting above the obstructed part of the river tho Paragvayans were coolly stockading the river twenty miles higher up and were constructing and arming strong works, extending from the Paraguay, at the mouth of the Tebicuart, along the upper bank of the latter river, bow far could not be ascertained, and that at least tea tuousand men were ready to defend the new stronghold. Given forty thousand men, twelve iron-clads aad twenty wooden gunboats to watch two thousand men, how many will be re- quired to wateh tie ten thousand and the corps of women in process of discipline? The much glorified passage of Humaitt by four monttors and two other viads, it is ev.tent, has been of little use to the since, aituough mounting Gfteen cannon, ve not been employed in proitable service, unt! the occupation of the Chaco, had un- bably in- they § as Lopeg, disturved communications, removed men and can non, victualicd Humaité, and even stockaded the river and reared fortifications within three hours’ steaining of where those fron-clads were ground. ing on their beef be hvonic state of scare lest the Paraguay au eimpt another board- can @ War carried on upoa such a sysem of dolag nothing end? ‘There also ig the Chaco, @ narrow spit of land hardiy @ infie across Where it ia occupled by the allies, deep lagoons traversing {t almost from side to side, the water rising so highon itin the freshets that a small steamer jaden with coai was able to pass over it six weeks ago; it hat not been made to give passage (o the Brazilian squadron and so annihilate the strategic importance of Humatté as an obstruc- tion to the feet—a trie compared with the turn- ing of Isiand No, 10, but the men are wanting who planned and accomplished the iatter feat. The sick- nes among the allied forces continues to be great, about §,000 being constantly in the hospitals, and the deaths from disease arnounting to over 1,000 monthly, which exceeds the reinforcements arriving, How- ever, the government here declares that Caxias does not want more men, and a letter has been re- ceived from that General by the Emperor which 3 that Humaitd must surrender within a few j—a statement which follows too many of the same stamp to pass current as gold of the genuine ring, Another litle railway @ inile jong has been made on the Chaco to transport supplles to the troopa there and to the monitors above. Butit and their poston together may disappear under water if a igh freshet occurs, and then Humaité may be again victualled and stored or entirely stripped, as Lopea pleases, The following are some ftems of information ex. tracted from Paraguayan prisoners and deserters, Aud Which appear seasonavle enough to obtain sume credit for them: Taat Generals Reaquin, Burges and Barrios command at the Teblouarl and that Dives, lire.

Lacation oF Tae UNITED STATES, PETROPOLIS, Jan..27, 1868, ‘The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis- ter Plenipotentiary from the United States, has the honor to inform his Excellency Joao Lustoza da Cunha Paranagua, Councillor to his Imperial Majesty, Minister and Secretary of State for War, entrusted with the Department of Foreign Affairs, that he 1s in the receipt ofa despatch from William H. Seward, Secretary of State of the United States, in relation to the war atill pending between Brazil and her allies against the republic of Paraguay, in which he de- Clares that ‘the continuance of the war on the La Plata is @ subject of deep concern in $he United States,” In conformity with instructions to that effect the undersigned again tenders to the belligerents the good offices of his government, and renews the pro- posals of mediation which he had the honor to sub- mit on a previous occasion. And he ts instructed to add that, while renewing the proposals heretofore submitted by his government in the interest of peace, “the United states is neither tenacious of its own views nor jealous of the good offices of others, It belongs to the belligerent sovereign Powers not only to choose the terms of peace, bus the form which should be adopted to secure it.’’ The undersigned is exceedingly destrous of avotd- ing het feats | which might by possibility be con- strued into a desire on the part of his government to Intervene in the affairs of the different governments on the American continent, But the people of the United States have declared through thelr represen- tatives in Congress that the pending war in La Plata is “destructive of commerce and injurious and pre- judicial to republican institutions;” and their gov- ernment, in obedience to instructions from Congress, renewed in February last, in the most formal man- ner, the tender of its good oMces. When those apeos offices” were declined the undersigned was directed to express to the imperial government “the regret of the sident and people of the United States that the allies do not find It compatible with their rights and interests to avall themselves of the good offices of the United States, which were conceived in a spirit of entire respect and friendship for the several _ belligerents, and an earnest desire for the restoration of peace throughout the American Continent.” And Mr. Seward adds:—‘Not at all wedded to their own pro- postion, which has thus been disallowe4, the United tates will yet indulge the hope that the wisdom of the belligerent States will be competent to devise means, Within areasonable period, which may ena- ble them to afford to their people the advantages and benefits of peace. Such measures being devised, any good offices that may be at any time required of the United States will be cheerfully rendered.” Another ear of war has elapsed without, apparently, bring- ing the contest any nearer to @ termination, and again the undersigned is instructed to tender the good ovices of his government, and to inform Brazil that “the continuance of the war on the La Plata is the subject of deep concern in the United States.’” The undersignes persis with deep regret the in- Jurious effects of the pending war upon the labor, the commerce, the finances and the general re- sources of the Brazilian ro deo and he would be neglectful of his duty if he did not keep the govern. ment of Washington advised of these matters and of the tone of public sentiment here in regard to the war, at the same time that he fully exonerates Brazil from all responsibility in its occurrence, and most earnestly sympathises with her in its continued pro- traction and most disastrous consequences. Deeply impressed with the expediency, if not the necessity, of an early termination of the war to Brazil, the un- dersigned experiences great satisfaction in renewing to Brazil the tender of the good oftices of the govern- ment of the United States and the personal services of the undersigned, whenever “they may be at any time required,’ to bring to a success- fal issue any ‘measures devised in the Interest of peace and calculated to benefit the people of the belligerents to this most disastrous war onthe La Plata.” The dangers to all parties from a continuance of the struggie are palpable, while the very serious consequences to the finances, commerce, labor and future prosperity of Brazil are no longer matters of conjecture, but monstrous evils, actually present and brought home to the daily ex- erience of all, That Brazil and her allies are and ave been right from the beginning no candid and luteligent man can for a moment doubt.. But whether i a or he J the tax of this war upon the labor of Brazil—which is her one great wait— cannot fall to check her prosperity for years to come, while its exhaustive strain uvon her finances and future resources demands its termination at the | earliest day compatible with the honor of the eim- pire. There are other considerations in favor of an early termination of the war obvious to your ixcellency and the statesmen of Brazil, but to which it would be unbecom- ing in the undersigned to refer, It is manifest, however, that the peoplo and the govern- ments of the great commercial nations of the world are getting restive at the too probable continuance of things in this region, which promises no results, And while the government of the United States dis- claims the remotest intentions of any, the slightest interference, with the purposes and ‘actions of the belligerents, it may not shrink from conveying to Brazil the voice of our glee roclaimed through their Congress, that “the continuance of this war is a subject of ae J concern,” and that “it is absolu- tely destructive of commerce and injurious and pre- judicial to republcian institutions.’ ‘The undersigned, is happy to avail himself of this occasion to renew to your txcellency the expression of his great personal esteem and most distinguished consideration.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE ROGUES, To Tne Eprror oF THe HERAL! e Sm—In your article on the “Increase of the Na- tional Debt,” in Sunday's HERALD, you are very right in saying that “there surely must be something rotten in the Treasury Department.” There ts. But is it altogether ‘incapacity and mismanagemen#?”’ I think not. If Secretary McCulloch would cut loose from the trammels of the gold and whiskey rings of New York, and would faithfully endeavor to have the revenue of the country honestly collected, and — the rogues, oficials and others who colieague ogether to rob the Treasury, instead of folding his bands and complacently looking on while they per- petrate their nefarious schemes of plunder, the peo- ple would not long be cursed with the enormous taxes they now have to labor under, The public debt wou soon show a healthy decrease instead of an alarming increase, the burdens of the people would be lightened and we might my to see enbacks approximate nearer in value the gold standard. But it is useless to expect such action on the part of Secretary McCulloch. For the last six or seven months he has had lists of the names of men engaged in whiskey and tobacco frauds in New York city, with the proof at hand to convict them; yet no action has ever been taken against any of them, When Secretary McOulloch knows how cor- rupt many of the revenue officials are—in direct col- lusion with the whiskey men and their bogus bonds- men—some of them, in fact, having been inthe same business, and he still retains them in oMice; when he knows that there are in this city men connected with assessors’ offices, who, for @ small bribe, are in the habit of making out false income returns for property holders and does not tage auy Btepa to bring them to justice; when he knows there is an immense deal of smoggling of tobacco from Virginia to the immediate elghborhood of this cit, and has the means offered of breaking it up and makes no effort to do it, what can the people and country expect but that the national debt should Increase under the mismanagement and eu!pabie in- difference of such a Secretary of the Treasury as Mr. McCulloch? From a close calculation I am satistied that through the mismanagement of Secretary McGplioch during the last two years, ending say February, 186%, that the government was robbed of At least $40,000,000 in each of those years, the greater art of which could have been collected had the freasury been in the hands of one who would have ordered and managed its operations with eye svlely for the best inierests of the country, aad THE VERMONT BANK ROBBERY, (From the Troy Times, August 10.] The First Netional Bank at East Bennington, Vt., of which L. R. Graves is president, was robbed on Saturday night of bonds and money to an unknown amount. The stolen plunder was contained in one of Lailie’s old burglar and fire proof safes, the lock of which was picked, showing the hand of a most skilful and dangerous cracksman. The operator leit not a scratch or mark upon the exterior of the safe, simply removing the alal of the lock, after which he opened the sa by the extraordinary means we have stated. The robbery was discovered yesterday afternoon by Mr. Graves, who visited the bank for some purpose, and was present some time in the building before he observed any indications of the robbery, Upon opening the exteflor door of the safe he discovered that all the bonds and securities deposited by individuals with the bank for safe keep- ing had been extracted, the amount of which, as we have said, is not known. Mr. Graves was unable to open the interior door, and Mr. Sterling, of this city, ‘Was sent for to effect an entrance.

DOMINGO. eee ‘The Victory cf General Ogando pnd Trepida. tion of President Baez—Financial Trampere feeAld from Curacao to the Rebelu—Crimes and Atrocities—Summary of Events. St. Domingo Crry, July 11, 1868, Yesterday there was great alarm in this city. The news which government has recetved in relation to its first reverses are deplorable, As I told youin my last letter, General Ramirez Baez had gone from Azua with a body of troops to take San Juan; but he put more rellance on the bravery of a German officer named General Brigman, as none of the Baez family—the President included—has ever been in an engagement. When the rebel commander, General Timoteo Ogando, tearned this movement he advanced to meet General Brigman, and attacked him at Ceiba and completely routed his troops, leav- ing General Brigman among the dead on the field. Im- mediately after having received news of this defeat the President ordered two cannons to be placed before the door of his house, as if the danger threatened him very closely. He also sent pass- porta to forty prominent citizens, with orders to leave the country. He also banished Seflores J. M. Perez, M. M. Santamaria, A, Brua, S. do Castro, R. Santin, T. Aguero, E. Medina, D. Henriguez, F. Dulue, F. Chalaz and W. De Costa Gomez, whom he. had held in prison, The Baecists state that govern- ment is preparing to send the families of the exiled Dominicans out of the country hkewise. If this bar- barous measure be carried out the city will be largely thinned of its population, as there are now scarcely eight thousand inhabitants here, le rumor is circulating here that the Haytten steamer Liberté has captured and taken to St. Mare a schooner which Baez had sent to the north for the purpose of embarking two hundred men for the army of President Sainave, The schooner Dos Amigos has brought news from Curagao that the firm of Sefores Jesurun & Co. had received from President Salnave drafts on Europe to the amount of $20,000, to be sold and the proceeds re- mitted to President Baez to deiray the expenses of the war and of the Boats Which he is raising. By said schooner Baez received $5,150, and it is proba- ble that his friend Jesuran, who, it is said, may fail if the war in Venezuela ends unfavorably to the gov- ernment, keeps the balance as security for his ad- vances and asserts that he can give tim no more money, as he is afraid of his approaching fall. On the ist inst. the schooner Hirondelle sailed from. Curagao for Jacmel, with twenty-four Dominican exiles aboard, they under command of General J. B. Aybar. This o/icer is about sixty-five years of age. He has heretofore been a friend of Baéz, even from childhood, and was intimately connected with him in politics until 1863, when Baez sought the baton of Spanish marshal, Aybar was his Minister of War and of the Navy in 1866, followed him avroad, where he remained until 1865, when the Spaniards evacu- ated St. Domingo, He saved the life of Baez by bringing him to the French Consulate when General Pimentel surprised this city, Now Baez persecutes Ayoar and his son because the former, having been confidant, knows all the secrets of his life. The government troops here get half a pound of bread, half a pound of meat and five cents in silver a day. Those that are moving through the interior live on the cattle they meet on their way and that belong to private parties. General Botello left Seyho and Higiley with one hundred and fifty men to ‘tuke passage on the Ro- mana for this city. When they reached the wharf the General was left alone, all his troops deserting. This General Botello, together with General F. Lluverez and Colonel D, Chery, were condemned to death in 1867 on account of having landed at Liuma with forty exiles. President Cabral commuted their sentence, Notwithstanding this they returned to conspire against his au‘hority, One hundred and forty men who left here arrived at Azua. They were originally from San Cristobal. They had not goue over six miles when they all deserted, Among the many measures that have been adopted to mend the state of alfairs the most impor- tant is the prohibition put upon the sale of salt by wholesale to the country people. They are not allowed to take more than four to five pounds each, When the revoluntionary atmosphere fills the coun- try, salt is the only article that the farmers buy in large quantities, as by so doing they avoid coming pedal where they are likely to be pressed into tho service. At Monte Plata an attempt at insurrection was made recently, but it proved abortive. The leaders are hidden for the present, watching an opportune moment. The Boletin Ofcial states that government expects £420,000 from the English loan, which was a legal negotiation, which was not the case, it asserts, with the loan which President Cabral sought to raise in the United states, to which government he iiad sold the peninsula of Samana. Mr. Seward, who knows the terms of the negotiations made by Minister Pujol, is well aware that the above is an fnfamous pain President Baez is at a loss to make the people believe that he expects money. To do this he summoned Mr. David Coen and some other mer- chants to flad out what is the annual interest on £420,000, but he showed them neitiier documents nor letters—nothing, in fact, to prove the existence of any loan. Thus Baez is playing a comedy, to circulate the idea that he is raising money abroad, and 16 turns outthat he is the clown of the piece, for all make mockery of his silly,stratagem, Serlor M. Guerrero, father of the assassin of Cap- tain Malagon, has been appointed Minister of tle Treasury during the absence of Saior R, Curtel, who has gone on a mission to Cibao for the purpose of persuading people there that government expects £420,000; but he will not state when the money will be forthcoming. Sefior Guerrero hardly knows how to make out an account; but as there is nothing in the Treasury any one can fill the position, Seior J. ‘ejera has been appointed President of tae Su- preme Court, but has decilaed the position, so far ho employé of b othe eyo has been paid his salar, nor have the troops. On the other hand, taxes have been raised by force and the duty on imports have been raised to flity per ceutum. A barrel of four costs $4 32 in gold, and a barrel of potatoes costs $2 70 in gold, almost as much as in the United States, President Baez wants inouey to have it at his disposal when the moment arrives that he must clear out. He wiil then take it with him as he did before, even though by so doing he ruin all around him. The government accepis no kind of paper, not even that which it has itself issued. ‘his measure is a severe blow to commerce, the only class who are forced to aocept money that is not legally a tender. ‘The President has published a sheet entitled “A Probiem in Economy,” attempting to justify the enormous issues of paper money which he ade during his previous administrations, and to prove the advantage to the country of such a means of ex- change. Al! this means that he ts preparing to inake ‘@ fresh issue of $200,000 or $300,000, to be secured b; the loan which he pretends to have negotiated. Bul any new issue of paper money will precipitate tis fall. The Boletin, of Puerto Rico, June 19, says that Baez has sought the protectorate of Spain. This step, after a war kept up for years against the Spaniard, may have @ fatal resuit. The idea of a new domination over the island has created great alarm. Congress has closed its sessions, but before doing 80 it chose the members who are to form the Sena- torial Council. The constitutioa states that the peo- ple should choose the Senators, but the members of Congress bave thought advisable to interpret the ea of the people by Choosing the Senators them- TT os othe «republic. I shail give y an idea of the coups d'etat of Bacz in few words by citin geo Mave rise to tho sentence of death proaoun against Sefor C. Moya, This genticman before going to La Vega, where he re- sides, called on the military commandant and asked whether he might, a9 @ resident of the rurai dis- tricts, ry With him some cartridges. The com- mandant repiled that he might and inquired when he intended to set out. Now, the family of Setior Moya has always been opposed to Baez in politics, hence tue President saw an occasion for taking re- them in tuls instance, When Sefor Moya réers were given to make certain arrests, Certain houses were marked, troops Frerp mo d from the garrison and Sehor Moya was taken pris oner. The resuit was that a military commission without conscience tried him and condemned him to death because he carried ammunition to the rebels in his province, although the Supreme Court failed to coniirm the sentence On appeal. Thus Baez trifes with human life, He acted in like manner in 1557 towa sefores Juan Camejo and Dr. J. Volta, whom he condemned to death on the false accusation of petty thievery so as to have the chance of pardonin, them. Volta’s life Was spared, but he went ow of his mind. A firm in St. Thomas has offered General Luperon a steamer of regular size, with the privilege of pay- ing for only after the overthrow of Baez. The Gene- rai refused the oifer because be has at hand neitner engineers nor sailors to work such @ vessel Tu Curacao the revolutionists easily obtain whatever vessels they need to reach the Island of St. Domingo on condition that they pay the charter after their triumph. So that you see now even abroad the be- lief is firm that Baez cannot hold out. A most horrible event has recently taken place here, The vessel San Rafael satied from this port for Azua, having on board #iX persons—the master, two young brothers, both sailors, and threo Spaniards as your reade! passengers. When some distance out these last fell upon the master and murdered him, ag well as one of the young brothers, who ran to his aid, When the Spaniards became masters of the vessel and cargo they steered it. ward to reach the isiand of Culebra. When the Spanish steamer Pajaro del Oceano reached there the young man who had escaped massacre shouted for joy; but the fiends tied him toa bag of sand and threw both overboard. A short time thereafter one of the Spaniards, named Aro, committed suicide and the two others were captured by a achooner which sailed in their pursait. They are now here tn rison, As they are Spaniards and baez bag asked for @ Spanish protectorate it ts possible that the crime will go unpunished, as was the case in the murder of Colonel José Rodriguez and Captain Malagon.

[Salt Lake City corseaponsence Cincinnatt Commer- c ona prominent tradesman in this place (himself a leading Mormon and a Utah pioneer) our pay of four inquired as to the feasibility of ovtain- ing @ bnef interview with Brigham Young. We were told that the modern Solcmon (in domestic multiplicities if not in wisdom) granted few audi- ences to parties gonking bis presence from motives of curiosity, besides which he was fresh from the grave of one of his most trusted winalsters—Heber Kim- ball—and must be presumed ‘o be indulging in that erlef that arlses so much from the suggestion, ‘how B00n may paralysis pin me,” a8 from the sense of pea and vacancy that follows a bereavement, [t so pened that one of our number had a proposition to lay before the arch-chief of the Mormons which had the color, if not the substance, of business; and 80, after a private parley between the gentleman we applied to und Brigham, we were informed that the latter would see us at ten A, M., if he could spare the time, if not, then at some later hour, t ten minutes before the musical town clock struck ten, we were on the way from the hotel, walking along the stream and shade tree bordered avenues, under a sky exquisitely bine, and fanned by an atmosphere that seemed just to have been un- Wrapped from the original package. Brigham Young’s famous Presidential mansions or harems, tho Lion and the Beehive houses, stand iu the centre of a square, about ten feet from'the pavement, and are surrounded by beautifully embellished grounds of twenty acres, tiie whole block beng inclosed by a high wall of boulders. The Lion House and the Beehive House stand side by side, and look like am- bitious country viilas, three stories high, adorned by a wilderness Of gabies, A carved lion surmounts the portal of one, and a beehive that of the other. In front and along the entire square the pavement is margined with a row of vividly green locust trees, haif grown. To the left of the mansion a large branch of the network of small streams that line the streets and trrigate the gardens of the city, tumbles out into the street in a rocky channel excavated un- der the wall of boulders and neatly arched over. On the opposite side of the way the square is occu- led by the smaller, but still beautiful, residences of leading Neece Mormons, each house pecring through an exterior of juicy trees and. shrubbery. Brighain’s houses are painted in light and cheerful colors, and have the aspect of being most sedulousiy “kept up.’? Their privacy is rendered absolute by meagrencss of windows, profusion of shade trees, Opacity of blinds ana curtains, thickness and height of the exterior wail and bristling strength of the entrance gates. Of the extensive grounds adjacent we were per- mitted to catch no glimpse, on account, Coubtless, of the extreme largeness of the Prophet's family and their custom of promenading there after par- taking of the grand breakfast, which is the one democratio meal to which the whole household assemble en masse, Passing through the tron gate of the Beehive House we found our tntercessor waiting to in- troduce us to the modern Seer of Zion. We were conducted into Brigham's oilice, a large apart- ment handsomely furnished, and found our- selves shaking hands with strongly built man of sixty-eight, who seems ten years younger. His manner was gravely cordial, and ‘he mo- tioned us to chairs withthe routine alr of one Whose station demands that he take a daily “public bath’? of visitors of all degrees. We wero but fairly seated when two other callers were an- nounced—a Mr. of Iilinois, and his daughter, a slender young lady of twenty or thereabout. She rushed at Brigham with a palpitating stride, scized his hand convulsively, and exclaimed with hasty eifusion, “Ah, President Young, I am dee-lig/t-ed to make your acquaintance,” Brighain bowed with formal gallantry, but with @ certain something lurking in his composure that seemed to say, “Don’t overdo it, my dear young woman; either you are scared or a trifie bold.’” The auditors, now numberiug six, took seats in a semi- circle, while the Prophet deposited himseif with due deliberation in a cushioned armchair. Emptying his face and attitude of all but the soberest expres- sion, he entered Luto a general conversation with the father of the young lady, whose name suggested the invention of ihe telegraph. Upon that topic the dis- course ran for a few moments, then glided to Robert Fulton, his rebuifs, reverses and flaal triamph. The young lady’s father thought the progress of the hineteenth century was something almost startiiog; and the young lady, ina bolt upright, pranes an prisim pose, looked’as If she were debating whether or not it would presently be the thing to say, Presi- dent Young, Lai dee-light-ed to drop your acquaint- ance. While the conversation ran on empty generalities a few moments were afforded to take @ glauce around the apartment which serves the double purpose of private office and audience room, On one side of the wall near the ceiling is a row of bust portraiis tn oil, presenting Brighai, his counsellors and aposties in all the propriety of neatly dressed hair, command ing, or at least striking facial expression, in ail the picnitude of fine linea aud fall dress broadcloth, brigham’s picture Would seem to make hima oul a vigorous, handsome man of forty, and justly bestows on him a yraence to impress & feminine admirer no Jess than its own sex. ‘The array of pictures has jast the same shade of — and like pecultarities of color aud treatment, so U ey are probably the receut work of the same hand. Maps of Sait’ Lake Cliy, Utaa, and that part of the United States west of the one hundredth degree of longitude, hang here oa the walls. The room contains several large desks made of expensive woods, highly varnished, and two large tables of beautiful green and mottied marbies, piled high with books and documents. ‘The floor is richly carpeted, the chairs large and luxurious. Theee or four carved bookcases, all closely filed, are disposed in various spots next the wal Now fora glance at Brigham hinseif as he sits vely upright in his chair, with his large, broad ot making a decent right angle on the soit carpe He is clad in a suit of greenish cassincre—coat, vest and pantaloons ail of the same piece, ali made roomy and comfortable, with ho pretensions whatever to stylish build, The vest is cut so as to reveal a broad expanse of white linen shirt aud turn down collar.

A crisply clean para-colored silk pocket handkerchief is tied around his neck and Tasiened in a comely knot as if freshly adjusted there by the last new bride, The-occasion of thls addttion to his ordinary costme is a trifiing disorder of the throat, incurred ta preaching the funerai discourse of Heber Kimball, and following hia remains to the grave.

The jaw is the one undis- uisedly auimal portion of the face. It is y, purplish in its fulness of blood, and inclines to take on the double chin.

A profound knowledge of iuman va- ture, combined with quick, solid intuitions and a rare capacity—a capacity of intelligently despatch. ing important work with rapidity and no bustle have placed Brigham Young where he is, and made his little empire in the desert one of the wonders of the world, For @ man of sixty-eight he is well preserved. Hardly @ gray hair is perceptibie to his head, But wen be walks across the Moor there is a guggestion of old age, with its coming flabbiness and want of supple sinews, His step lacks eiasticity and his complexion the freshness of vigor and ripe robust tude.
