From, the Army-We have received
but little news from the seat of war that
would interest our readers, there still
seems to be conflicting statements with
regard to our killed and wounded IN the
recent engagement AT Monterey. Why
we have not as yet received intelligence
ofthat action more in detail, is Il mystery
to every one. In the official reports Of
Gen Taylor, we do not find that fullness
which characterised his reports Of the
battles of the 9th and 9th, in which was
set forth the exact number of killed and
wounded, together with the prisoners
and military stores of all kinds captured
from the enemy. We are induced to
believe from this fact, that our loss is
greater than represented, few days we
trust will settle the matter.
Of course nothing definite is known
as 10 the plan Of operation which will
be pursued by our army, although we
find many set forth by knowing ones in
the prints of the day. We know this
however that the Mexicans may now
grid their lions and put all their armour
on for their will be no chiid's play for
the future, and the war will be pressed
vigorously. The crisis Of this war has
just now arrived and each account we
receive from that quarter will be full OF
interest. BY the latest dates from Mexi-
CO we learn that Santa Anna had left
the city at the head Of 1000 troops on
his way to the scene of action in the
North, and it is believed an army Of
10000 Mexicans if not more, would soon
be concentrated in the neighbood of
Monterey.

exception ofthe Secretary of the Navy,

Now as balancing of benefits, the
legislature should continue the survey
by the present incumbunt, who knows
the country better than any other man:
and who has working energies, and
mental qualifications united with full
knowledge of engineering, equal to the
task of surveying rout for a rail road
from Aiken to Greenvllle. Under the
continuance of the survey, this should
be made duty as it would strictly
come under the sensible meaning of the
language.
Charleston and the Low country,
should unite in the Legislature with the
up country as all will be partners in the
benefits.
Cd. That the legislature grant char.
ter for said rail road from Aiken to
GreenvilIe.
Sd. That the right of way, be clearly
and distinctly obtained, and when OBJ
tanned, that the road be opened out and
cleared oftimber, under the act that regu-
latcs the opening Of all new roads, on
principle, that all who work on the road
will reap its benefits.
4th. When the above is done, the
whole line should be laid off in contracts
not exceeding one mile in length, to be
graded and furnished with the timbers
necessary for the road the contrac :ors
being bound to receive the one half Of
the amount due for their contracts, in
stock of the company subject 10 the same
regulations as other stock holders This
plan we think will insure the grading
being done quicker and better, at the
same time it will make Il division Of la
bor; keeping out speculation on a large
scale as well as calling for only one
half the amount in money.
5th. The shares should be one hun.
dred dollars, one tenth of which should
be paid at the time of subscription or at
Il time when sufficient stock was taken
to warrant the execution of the Road.
9th. An amount of capital might be
borrowed sufficient for finishing the road
Tor term of ten years, for the payment
of which each stockholdcr should pay ten
dollars annually on each share with a
proportional of interest on the capital bor-
rowed, thus in nine years the whole
amount would be paid.
9TH. On failure at any time Of paying
the annual instalInents the dclinquint
stockholder shall forfeit his previous in
stalnents.
9th. 10 complete the above plan the
money borrowed should be due in nine
annual payments.
The above plan would come gradual
ly and would not be seriously felt by
persons taking stock, benefits received
might somewhat balance the cost of the
stock. ABBEVILLE.

Mr. Ewing Of Tennessee, addressed The
Committee in very able speech against Civ

Committee on Foreign Affairs. IL was TOO
brief and presented in too much ofa spirit
of unkindness 10 produce peace. In his view
il would be war, and here the horrors of war
were depicted in strong colors--so strong in
deed as TO rebuke the bellgerent men who
have been and are DESTROYS for war. Mr. T..
said there were men here old and experience
ed, honest and calculating, just and honor-
bic, to whom all the gasconade ofthe House,
must be eminently disgusting. There was
too much gasconading in the House, and too
much trihing upon he subject of war.

had made doubtful speech upon this ques-

Mr. Wood, ofN Y, would vote for the no.

ain had rights in Oregon, which we were
bound TO respect, and was in favor of the

believed that the claim ofthe whole OF Ore

Important from Brazil and the
River Plate.

BY the arrival at Baltimore ofthe brig Ar
gyle from Rio Janeiro, whence she sailed on
the 18th December, and the brig Saldana, nj
so from the same place, having sailed on the
Goth December, the Baltimore American has
advices ofun important character twill be
seen from the annexed letters that the com
bned forces ofthe French and English had
achieveda victory over the Argentine troops,
and captured the forts at the mouth of the
river Parana.
RIO DE JANEIRo, 18th Dec. 1915.
The all absorbing topic OF the day is the
late tremendous engagement between the
Anglo allied forces at the River Plate, and
some of Rosas batteries at the mouth of the
River Parana. The newspapers will doubt
less TEEN with the particulars ofthe proceed
ngs on both sides. On the part of the
English and French the victory was complete
indeed; not, however, without serious losses
ms it regards life and property i'll the way of
shipping.
The English brig of war Dolphin, alore
received 1O7 round shot in her hull and rie
ring, during the engagement. The French
steamer Fulton l04 shot; aud French YES
sci, or nj least Il vessel manned by French
men, but formerly belonged ~ the Buenos
Ayreans, was completely rlddled. The total
loss ofthc allies amounts 10 about 100 Killed
and wounded, while on the part ofthe enemy
no correct statement has Yet been made pub
lic Report says that upward DISCO men are
missing. Certain it is that in one fort no
less than $50 bodies were found, i'll another
some $50 or 100, and what is still more
strange, they were all blacks. To account
for this, it is said that as fast as white man
fell. killed or wounded, he was Immediately
carried off, while the poor blacks were kept
at il and lay where they fell.
Once or twice the miserable wretches at
tempted to fee from the forts, hut no sooner
did they attempt it than Rosas' cavalry charg-
ed on them and compelled them to return to
their guns at the point of the lance. Kosas
seems to have anticipated the flight of his
men, and placed these cavalry there on pur
pose TO keep them in check; for on the land
ing ofsome $50 men from the vessels of war
they met with very little opposition.
