THOS. TILSON, Chairman. CHAS. LEE, M.A. AUBREY 0. mu, N.A.,} ii° 72 . 0001 ej r „ - 7 PARAGUAY. The Buenos Ayres Standard, of Nov. 12, learns on high authority that his Excellency General M'Mahon will shortly leave for Paraguay. Ad miral Davis will accompany him. Most of the American war-vessels, with the exception of the Guerriere, will go up. There is little news from the seat of war, and the public seem to have lost all interest in the operations. Marshal Caxias has been christened General Statu Quo, while it is ob served that the position Lopez occupies is more for midable than is supposed in Buenos Ayres. Humaita is in ruins, there are three Brazilian regiments there, all the hospitals of the army, and the com missariat department. The old battle-fields are howling wildernesses, marked with a few wooden crosses. On the opposite shore above Humaita are the ruins of various fortifications, the scene of severe contests. The Allies are at Las Palmas, two leagues from Angostura, held by the Paraguayans. The locality of the allied camp could not possibly be worse. Between the belligerent camps there are immense lagoons and a deep river, and passing these are the enemy's fortifications; the first lino com;ng, close to the river, and the second line on the base of the mountains, which stretch off in the horizon. A brisk trade is going on, 270 merchant vessels being in the river, and 3,000 shop tents on shore. Cholera still exists, principally among the troops (Brazilians) sent to the Chaco, under command of Argollo ; there is not the mortality rumoured— and in Palmas and Humaita scarcely a single case. The general belief was that Caxias, who observes great secresy, would attack the Paraguayan position on a day already determined. Christmas Day is the time given for the force to be in Ascuncion. Lopez will fall back into the interior, where, though short of cavalry, he will be able to continue the war as the country ,protects him, and his sol diers have proved themselves as patient arreV during as they are brave. The British, French, and Italian gunboats are anchored at Palmas. A commander of one dined at Lopez's camp the other day. He was surprised to see the table so well provided. Champagne Cliquot—Crown Port— Chateau Iquem —Leoville, and in fact, all the best wines, were drunk on the occasion, whilst on the side-board was a goodly supply of Inde Coope's ale. The rains have been unusually heavy, and the crops in Paraguay good. In the Standard's summary of the 11th it is said " Marques Caxias, unwilling to expose his army to a repulse, has despatched a very powerful force, under the brave Osorio, to the Chaco, with a view to outflank the position of Lopez, and gain Asun cion ; there is every probability that Osorio will succeed in cutting a road through the forest, and march his men up to a point facing Asuncion, when they will be ferried across by steamers. The An gostura battery is the only one in the'river now held by the enemy; it is very strong, and is said to have 20 guns mounted, 64-pounders each, but the Bra zilian ironclads have passed up and down with very trifling, loss. As yet, however, the Allies have not silenced it, although it holds all the mercantile ves sels bound to Asuncion in check. Well-informed parties state that it is probable that the Allies will be established in Asuncion about the end of De cember." JURY TRlAL.—Governor Wells, of Virginia, has recently pardoned a prisoner who was convicted by the jury under the plan of arriving at a verdict by draw ing lots. Ballots were placed in a hat, and seven papers, containing the word "guilty," having been drawn, the de fendant was convicted. The jury originally stood eight for acquittal, two for conviction, and two for a compro mise verdict, and had been deliberating for two days when the lottery method was adopted. J. Marshall Hanna wrote the article for 11. Rives Pollard which cost the latter his life. When a reporter in Baltimore, Hanna accidentally shot M'Phail, for which he narrowly escaped being lynched. Not long since, in consequence of a quarrel with the manager of the Rich mond Theatm, he was involved in a street fight with pistols; and now his pen has been 'the remote cause of Pollard's death. Judge Barker, of Buffalo, has decided that a man's wife cannot b 3 his partner in business. Walter Brown was to row a scull boat to Cin cinnati, 500 miles, in eight consecutive days from sunrise to slnset, for a wager of $l,OOO. The. Democrats of Winterset, lowa, recently as a joke elected Toby Edwards, a respectable coloured man, Justice of the Peace, but Edwards declined the honour for the following reasons:—" My education is defective, and although I will prob Ibly be able to read and write sooner than the majority of the Democracy, still, as ignorance is the only Democratic qualification for office, I possess I cannot think it quite fair to give me the only place at your disposal to the exclusion of so many members of the party who possess that qualification to a greater extent than I do myself. Again, the unfortunate colour of my skin will prevent me from acquiring a Democratic nose, and thus deprive me from all hope of a nomination." Admiral Semmes has been recently lecturing in Louisiana. Henry Clapp, jun., has been appointed assistant assessor of Internal Revenue for the Sixth District of New York. General Thomas L. Young, Recorder of Hamil ton connty, was nominated December 9 for supervisor of the Southern district of Ohio. It is not supposed he will accept, as his present office is worth at least 10,000 dollars per annum, while a supervisor receives not more more than 3,000 dollars, and is allowed no moieties. Secretary M'Culloch has appointed Ira M. Harrison to be supervisor for New Jersey. The Board of Trade have ordered a telescope to be prepared for presentation to Captain IL F. Block, master of the Prussian brig Auguste, of Barth, in acknow ledgment of his kindness in receiving on board his vessel and conveying to Ireland sixteen of the passengers and crew of the screw steamer 'Melita, which was destroyed by fire on herpassage from Boston, United States, to Liver pool. General Wessells, commander at Fort D. A. Rus sell, has been struck with paralysis. Miss Augusta Evans, the Southern authoress, has married L. M. Wilson, President of the Mobile and Mont gomery Railroad. The estate of the late Nathaniel Hawthorne, at Concord, Mass., is offered for sale.—The fortune of the late John L. Witnight, of Bordentown, is estimated at $2,500,000. He left $5,000 to the Odd Fellows for charit able purposes, and the rest of his property goes to his family. _ _ _ The Hon. John W.

Dunlap, Chicago, are at the St. Nicholas Hotel. Gen. J. H. Martindale, Rochester, and Lewis N. Tappan, Boston, are at the Astor House. It appears from the report of the Secretary of War that Governor Haight, of California, wrote asking for United States troops to "prevent riots on election day," The Governor of New York made the same request last November, and excited a great deal of invidious comment from the politicians in the Atlantic States. In Washington it was rumoured that the Presi dent will appoint a successor to district Attorney Conde nay ; and E. Delafield Smith and Ethan Allen are favou rites among the crowd eager for the appointment. Mr. M. S. Bright, a member of the New York Gold Exchange, was one of the victims of the terrible collision on the Ohio River. Mr. J. E. Van Steenburgh, cashier of the Bank of Fishkill, New York, was fatally injured, Dec. 3, when leaping from the car near Peckshill station, on the Hudson River Railroad. General De Trobriand, has written to Capt. Auhe, a French officer, the author of some articles on the Ame rican war in the Revue Militaire , in the following strain for attacking General Grant :—" It is evident that your knowledge of American affairs is extremely limited. Every article you have thus far published on that sub ject abounds in blunders. Beware of repeating your at tacks on the distinguished American generalissimo, or you will be exposed thoroughly."
