From Rio Dc Ia Plata,

The late news from this section Of the
world continues to a,iger the overthrow Of
the principles Of democracy, and the build
ing up Of monarchy on its ruins. Monte
video dates Of the Let Of January inform us,
that the allied forces were pushing up the
Parana, near to Corisntes, almost to the
southern boundary Of Paraguay. The
Consuls ofthis latter government have de-
clared war against the Argentine Repub.
lie. while Brazil was preparing to do so
too. This of course has been effected
through the agency Of English and French
influence and money. The news further
says, that there had been bittle in Uru-
quay between the Argentine forces and
that Of the allied Monarchies, in which the
Argentines prevailed, killed SO Of the en-
envy, taking 300 prisoners and 1000
horses. 1t is also said that the combined
forces have taken Tabelay, defended by
only $50 men. The Argentine loss was
2 men, 5c0 horses, one field piece, besides
some military stores. A writer from
Montevideo thinks, that If Brazil declares
war against the Argentine Republic, that
there win be civil war III Brazil. Our
opinion is, and always has been since the
commencement Of the matter, that the Ar
gentins Republic will be destroyed and
that monarcy will reign unchecked in
South America. This will be the case,
unless the United States interfere in be-
half ofsuAering humanity.

The Washington Union says: News
from Vera Cruz down 10 the 23d nlt. was
received last night at the Department Of
State. Almonte has resigned the office Of
minister Of war, and Tornel had been APP
pointed his successor. Luces AlAman,
the editor Of the new royalist journal at
Mexico, (the Tiempo.) had been COM
PEELED BY public indignation to fly from the
city, his life being in danger, and his pa
per had been pronounced seditious. Since
the royalist party had taken open ground
ia favor Of monarchy, the Mexican people
have become better inclined towards the
United States. Upon the whole, our af-
fairs with Mexico were assuming more
hopeful aspect. l 4te

THE MURDER AT JERSEY CRY. The MUIR
der committed at Jersey City, by Z, M. Spen-
Ger, on the person of his own wife, is creating
considerable excitement in that vicinity. Mrs.
S. is said to have been beautiful young person
Of only "a, and the green eyed monster is
charged with instigatng the dreadful crime
Spencer, who is young man under 80, is re-
ported to be u lecturer on Mesmerism, original
ly from Otsego county, n Y, and distant
connectien of the Hon j. A. Spencer. Ow-
ing to jealousy he treated his wife S o badly,
that he had been boand over to keep the peace
The following statement of the case is given
by the Herald:
cit appears that Spencer was married about
fifteen months ago to daughter of Mrs. Dob
bin, of Jersey City, and that he and his wife
have been staying for some time past at the
house of his mother-in-law in Montgomery
street. A serious disagreement had for some
weeks existed between the wife and husband,
and the night before last, at the instance of his
wife's family, Spencer was arrested and his
conduct is alleged to have been extremity vio-
lent during the day and evening, and the family
were apprehensive for Mrs. Spencer's safety,
should her husband be left at large. When he
was arrested he asked permission to be allowed
TO speak to his wife, for the purpose of making
overtures of reconciliation. This was granted
by the officer, but his wife, who was in her bed
room, refused to unlock the door until request
ed by her brother, who was under the impress
sion that her husband wished a reconciliation.
It'll said that when Spencer entered the room,
he asked his wife to accompany him to prison.
This she refused; upon which he presented a
pistol at her and pulled the trigger. 1t missed
fire, but upon pulling the trigger a second time,
he accomplished his fatal purpose. AS she turn
ed to escape from him the ball entered her
right shoulder and came out over the left breast,
performing the lungs in its passage So quick
were his movements that the brother, who was
standing behlng him could not arrest his arm in
time to prevent the murder.
One among the causes assigned for the COM
mission of this rash act, is that Mrs. Spencer re-
fused to accompany him to the South, and aid
in his mesmeric feats, by exhibiting herself as
a clairVoyant subject.

not bring my mind to the belief that so brief
an interval had passed, whilst in imagination
an immense space Of time had elapsed. The
magnitude of surrounding objects, together
with the absorbing interest with which the
mind was enwrapt, was probably the cause of
the above absence, as you may call it. 1t would
be gratifying to learn if others in like situations
are similarly affected.

LONG ISLAND POTATOES. The New York
True Sun says that the heretofore liberal pIos-
pect of large and good crop of this most use
full vegetable, is in many places in Kings coun-
ly entirely destroyed. Ia Flatbush and Flat
lands many of the farmers have ploughed up
their fields and repanted them. At the Poor
house there will not be third of crop, and
what there is will besof a miserable quality
The cause is unknown, but is believed to be
something that has occurred to the crop within
the past fortnight. Three weeks ago, finer
looking fields than the potatoe fields of Kings
county were never known.

LATER FROM THE ARMY.

LATE FROM THE BALTIMORE Volunteers IN
MEXICO. We have been favored by friend
with the following extracts from letter receiv-
ed from one of the Baltimore Volunteers in Col.
Watson's brigade, Just arrived OUT
ISLAND BRAscs DE ST.. JAGo,
Mexico, July 9Th, 1916.
Dear C: doubt not you received my
hurried letter from Alexandria, D. c., since
which we departed in the steamer Massachu-
sets, for the Rio Grande, and after somewhat
perlous and unpleasant voyage we arrived here
fatigued but we'll, on the LIST inst
This Island as you are probably aware, is the
first soil taken from the Mexicans, and when
the American schooner took the Island, they
secured some prisoners, and singular looking
set they are-half Indian, one quarter Creole,
one. quarter Spanish, and something Negro
The Island is situated at the mouth of the Rio
Grande, within 80 miles of Matamoras, and 8
miles from Point Isabel, and the ground where
the gallant Major Ringgold fell, is now plainly
in view
We expect to march for Burta, Fort Brown,
Point Isabel, or Alatamoras, every day. 1t is
reported that Gen. Paroles is marching upon
Monterey, with 10 or 10000 men. If true, as
it is considered almost impregnable, we will
nave TO hight the great battle OF the campaign,
and that very shortly, unless our General de-
cdes to 90 into summer quarters, and await the
arrival OF the As 500 men, ordered out by the
War Department.
ltwould be singular ifyou were drafted into
service in Maryland, and meet me as volunteer
in Mexico. j.
Poor Ringgold reposes well on Point Isabel
have stood near his grave and felt sad when re-
fleeing on his melancholy end.
We cross over in fishing boats daily and turtles,
fish and oysters are very abundant. Buffalo
meat, beef, sheep, and goats can be had also,
at reasonable prices; but as for fruit or vegeta-
blcs, you might as well look for a needle in
hay stack. There is not tree within l6 miles
| understand, and when we mount our KNAPP
sacks, musket, canteen, haversack, cartridge
box, with 40 rounds of ball cartridge, each con-
tanning three additional buck -shot, we will be
very we'll mounted, but not for running.

THE LONG ISLAND ELoPEMENTs. We have
already mentioned the fact that two married fe-
males, Mrs. Flowers and Mrs. Jones, had elo-
ped from Long Island with two married men,
whose names are Huestis and Hudson. The
whole four have since been arrested and COM
mitted to jill. The Brooklyn Eagle says:
One of the females is young and looks mild
and pretty: the other has cold brazen demean-
or. Ofcourse there was good deal of curios-
ity and excitement about the railroad depot,
when 1t was known that they were there, and
going back to the starting place oftheir guilt
Poor Mrs. Huestis died last Sunday night Of
broken heart! The Long Island Farmer says
that she had begged, entreatcd, and prayed of
her husband, not to continue his visits with Mrs.
Flowers; yet, notwithstanding that, he persist
ed. All the property he left behind him is at
tached for his debts. He had with him some
where about $500 in money. He not only took
away his tools, but also robbed his wife Of her
silver spoons, wearing apparel, and silver pen
Gil, which she thought great deal Of, Sc The
other one, Hudson, deprived Coon, (the hotel
keeper at Hampstead Branch, with whom he
lved) of all his shirts, excepting the one he was
wearing; he also took some money from Mr..
C.'s drawer, the clothing OF a child living at
Coon's, three or four years of age. He had
note in his possession, purporting to be signed
by G. F. Jerome, OF the Branch, which Mr..
Jerome says is forgery. Whether he got the
note cashed or not is not yet known
There is but one feature in this melancholy
transaction, which can be said to be any thing
but dismal one: that is, all the errng parties
are childless.
Every way, this is distressing and disgust
ing case. We are just informed that the be-
havlour of the women at the South Ferry this
morning was very cool and indifferent, not to
say gay. The younger one was met by her
husband, who received her with joy, and took
her under his protection again forthwith. Hues-
It's and Hudson were in irons.
