From South America.

NEw YORK, Nov. 23.-We have late and
important advices from South America.
The native rebels in Uruguay were ope-
rating with great activity against tho gov
eminent troops, and their action was al
fording very great aid to the war eneroach>
ments of Brazil against the Republic.
Paraguay had furnished sharp note of
protest to the Envoy of Brazil, against the
policy of the Emperor, in which the Presi'
dent declared his intention of taking up
arms if necessary, in support of the cause
of the side of the Republic Of Uruguay. In
this paper the President of Paraguay con-
demned the non-intervention course of the
government of Buenos Ayres.
1t was thought that Paraguay would
bring forward a power which would prove
very formidable to Brazil. The Uruguay
troops were in hasty march for Paysands,
the occupation of which place, it was
thought, would decide the war against the
rebels
Some British, Brazilian and French war
vessels lay off PaysanGa.
By decree of the Brazilian government,
dated September l4th, ali the free Afri-
cans in the Empire-whether in service OF
the State or Of private individuals, are
emancipated.
Rio Janeiro was recovering, in slight
degree, from the effects OF the late financial
panic. All the commercial interests of the
country were affected by the shock.

Nev YoRK, Nov. 2s--The latest intslli-

numbering together about $4,000 men, to

the Tennessee river. There are reports
that Dick Taylor has joined him with an
additional force of 10000. His late move

disposed to make an attack on the rebels
We now learn that there was but only
one building destroyed in Johnsonville,
Tennessee. The place is still held by d.
vision of Union troops.
The rebel Gen. Breckenridge is suspected
of desire to march from East Tennessee,
