American Troops in Paraguay.

An American writing from Carrientes. on
February 25th to a friend in San Francisco
land whose letter is published in the Alta)
says that detachment of troops intended
for land service, had been disembarked about
ten miles below the junction of the Parana
with the Paraguay. On the 25th, having
commenced their march across the country
for the purpose of forming a junction with
the steamers at the mouth of the Parona
they were told by their scouts that the enc
my were eneamped but few miles distant
and it was therefore resolved to attack them
that night But we will let the writer de-
scribe the attack and its result in his own
words. Much of the ludicrous and also
little crinoline are mixed up in the affair;
The tents of the enemy were arranged in
a circle. within which were picketed what
appeared to be an innumerable herd of horses
but from the distance and rising mist of the
plain, it was impossible to tell whether they
were accoutred or not Although they ap.
parently outnumbered us, by some hundreds
our commander resolved upon an immediate
attack, and after spirited whispered exhor
tation, the word forward was given. We
proceeded silently until within pistol shot,
and then with shot, the charge was sound
ed; simultaneously we discharged our pieces,
which was answered by the terrified screams
of a hundred female voices as we rushed to
the encounter, and 10 We found ourselves in
the midst of believing cattle which we had
mistaken for horses, in the distance, and our
opponents were some four score naked
sonora herds women, who were rapidly
striking their diminutive tents, which was
accomplished in rather a nov el manner which
cannot fail to be interesting to their more
civilized sex in other countries Upon dis
covering the character of our opponents, we
burst into hearty laugh this covering them
from their surprise, they each lodged be-
meath the skirts of their tents, and head
and shoulders appearing in the opening of
the tent pole, it was displaced, but tinstead of
being struck it became fixture about the
waist And upon closer examination, we
found that what we had supposed to be tents
were nothing less than hooped skirts, which
had been imported by some enterprising
Yankee, serving the guachos senoras as ap.
parel during the day and tents at night. This,
our first encounter with the enemy, was vail
antly achieved and afterwards CALAMITY
maintained, as our foes of the skirts must ad

AN EXCITED FRENcHMAN.-We published
yesterday among our telegraphic news, a
notice of the arrest at San Francisco, of a
Frenehman named Alfred Moulin, for threat.
ening the life of one of the agents of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company The Bul
letin has the following in relation to the
matter:
The charge was preferred by Leon Chemin,
editor of the French paper Il Union Franco
American In his testimony, Mr.. Cnemin
said that Moulin came to him on the 18th of
March last with a lot of manuscript written
against the agent, which he wished o have
published, but the witness refused to do so.
Moulin then said that he would challenge
the agent. Mr. Chemin replied that no no.
tlee would be taken of the challenge. Moulin
who was getting more and more excited
upon the subject then declared that he
would cowhide and kill the agent that he
was determined to do so, because the agent
would not pay him some $4,000 which he
claimed
1t seems from Investigations made in regard
to the matter, that this man Moulin came to
TINS country several years ago, and brought
with him on the steamer lot of potatoes,
which were found to be damaged on their
arrival. Moulin claimed indemnity; but the
steamship agents refused to pay anything.
ana desired that he would sue if he felt ag-
gneved Instead of doing so, Moulin seems
for several years to have been brooding
over his wrongs, and has repeatedly tried all
the newspapers in the city to have them
Puohsh articles against the steamship compa-
ny and agents. Several years ago we knew
nun TO have been just as much excited upon
TINS subject as he is now. 1t is said by some
that he is little crazed upon the point of
his real or fancied wrongs. while others say
that he is a sensible man, but having no
means is compelled to do the best he can
without them. If he intends what he
threatens, however it will be seen at once
that he is not sensible.
