1.-THE dark cloud Of political discord and rebel:
lion that has tor more than two months threatened
us, and hpbg like de ad weight upon the COM
merce and business Of the place, has at length burst
in all It's fury upon us but noblyIhave the soldiers
and patriotic volunteers sustained the shock, and
brav-ly has the city been defended from scenes OF
horror TOO revolving even tor thought. The rebels,
In force about 600 men, had succeeded, favored
by the almost impenetrable forests. IN gerlut be-
tween the CITY and government forces pursuing
them, and by forced marches arrived near this
place on the night oil the LIST instant and learning
that the government troops were daily expected,
they determined to commence their internal work
the next morning. The daylight gun and a flight
of rockets were the signals for furious attack on
three several points at the same time. The city
was defended by about 500 regulars, 400 marines
and sailors, a small volunteer force OF horse and
foot. and such OF the national guard as happened
TO be on government side. p evious to the attack,
about 400 men had been introduced into the city
from the rebels, and concealed in the houses of the
disafected ones, mot Anew, 1t appearedD from the
windows of which they kept up CALLING fire on
the troops. The fight continued with undated
fury through the day, success sometimes leaning
to enc side and sometimes to the other; when,
fortunately Tor us all the commander OF the troops,
JOZa Joaquin Caelho came up at about p. NJ,
with 800 men, after a march of twenty-five miles
that day, having come IN advance OF the main body.
These men had been pursuing the rebels for more
ths month, unsuccessfully, and were mad to get
at them. They rushed into the fight most furious
ly-lhe enemy gave way and the city, after twelve
hours hard fighting, was saved. The rebels loss
in killed was between 200 and 300, and 500 taken
PRISONERS, Many OF the leaders were taken, and
the principal one, Nunes Machado, was killed
early In the day. He was man Of talent, was
Deputy and Judge OF the Court OF 'Cassatlon,'
bur his ambition has proved his ruin. He wished
to place his party uppermost and be at their head,
and TO accomplish this end, was willing to turn
against the city a horde OF unprinclpled men and
assassins, which could only be accomplished by
promises OF sack The loss on the part OF GO
vernment must have been large, butt not declared.
Business ID out oil the question, but trust few
days will calm down peoples minds"
