From South America.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 23.-We have late aud
important advices from South America.
The native rebels in Uruguay were ope-
rating with great activity against the gov
eminent troops, and their action was af-
fording very great aid to the war encroach-
ments of Brazil against the republic.
Paraguay had furnished a 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 mp
arms if necessary in support of the cause
Of the sister republic of Uruguay. In this
paper the President of Paraguay condemn
ed the non.interyentiOn course OF the gsV-
eminent Of Buenos Ayres.
1t was thought that Paraguay would
bring forward power which would prove
very formidable to Brazil.
The Uruguay troops were in hasty
march for Psysandu, the reoccuPation OF
which place it was thought would decide
the war against the rebels.
Some British Brazilian and French war
vessels lay of Payssndu.
Bya decree of the Brazilian govern
ment, dated Sept. l4th, all the free Afri
cans in the empire, whether in the service
of the State or of private individuals, are
emancipated.
Rio Janeiro was recovering in slight
degree from the effects of the late fnau-
cial panic. All the commercial interests
of the country were greatly affected by the
shock

B~ THERE was not much doing on the
landing yesterday outside of the business
of the local Packets, all of which seem to
be doing nice little business between the
points to and from which they run.
The Bermuda, Wheeling built boat,
was sold by Campbell Sweeney to parties
in Louisville for $40, 900, and left for that
port about noon.
The Iron City, from Pittsburg, touched
at the landing, but did not discharge or
take on much freight.
The steamer Bertrand is loading for St.
Louis, for which point she leaves the last
of the week.
The steamer Eagle on her way up from
Parkersburg broke one of her large cog
wheels, and is compelled to lay up for re.
pairs. Our Parkersburg packets seem to
have got into bad streak of luck just now.
The Express just got started on Tuesday,
after three weeks rest mending her shaft.
There was thirteen feet water in the
channel last evening, and falling.

k6- SOLID IMPRovEMRNT.-For two
months past, Street Commissioners Sharp
has been engaged in grading and improT-
ing South strest, leading from Main street
by the Baltimore and Ohio depot, round to
Quincy street. This is an improvement
long and greatly needed. In fact during
a portion of the year, part OF this street
had been nothing less than a huge mortar
he'd through which omuibusses and drays
could hardly be dragged without lighters
and was scarcely safe for man to cross
without a.life preserver. The repairs were
commenced about the middle OF August,
bv the city in conjunction with the Rail
road company, and with the exception OF
few DAVIS unavoidable delay have been pro.
Dressing ever since. The magnitude OF
the work will be readily understood, when
- "a remembered that the street is a very
short one, being only 70 yards south from
Main street to the depot, thence about lUo
wards north to Quincy street. About
three fourths of the work is completed ana
an far the bed of the street has been reis-
ad an average of about Is inches
Along the front of the depot very broad
heavy curbiug is set almost like solid ma
sopry. The boulders used in paving were
broupht from time to time through the
simmer from Beaver, Pa, till regular
-nonntain.Of them,was accumulated, which
Is gradually melting away under the in.
dnstrious hammer of the PAYERS.
The street when finished, in comparison
v,tb its former condition will afford most
soreeable contrast, and all will concur
With ms in the opinion, that 1T is not only
one of the most necessary, Ebut one of the
most solid and useful Improvements made

AS matter of no small interest to the

ter of the expenditures on account of the
county poor. 1t is not for US here and at

current talk among citizens in reference to
the amount to which theexpendituresfor the
poor have grown. We do not feel ourselves
we'll enough versed in the facts of the

@~ TIE market was pretty well sup
piled with good things for. Thanksgiving
dinners, and pretty much every thing in
the cackling, quacking and gobbIing line
was gObbled up by the citizens. Things
look as though every body meant to treat
themselves to the varieties that constitute
a regular old fashioned thanksgiving din
net. Untold quantities of oysters in the
she'll and out of the shell have been pro-
vided for the occasion.
We advise every body, however, not
withstanding the ample home provision
that they have made, to go to Washington
Hall tonight and see the bountiful pro-
visions made by the supper committee
Give them the benefit of your presence and
of your money, and help make it time
that will be refreshing remembrance,
an oasis in the hearts of the defenders Of
our liberty.

m- RoBBERY.-on Tuesday night last
the clothing store of Messrs. sawtell &
Blo., on Monroe street, was robbed of
cloths and clothing to the amount of $3.50.
The thieves proceeded very cautiously in
their operations, so much so as not to
alarm two persons who were sleeping in
the second story of the building. The
rascals did not enter the room, but man
aged to remove pane of glass from the
door-which they succeeded in doing
without any noise, first plasteriug the glass
over with composition to prevent its fall
ing when brokeu-through which they in
serted long stick or pole, to the end of
which was fastened a hook, and with this
they managed to draw the goods from the
counter to the door and through the broken
pane ofglass. The hook used by the thieves
was found in the coal vault, it having fall
len down through an iron grating in the
pavement, which mishap, it is presumed,
put an end to further operations onthe part
of the thieves. Our people should be on
the look out for these rascals and use
every effort to find them out and have
them severely punished.

ST. Louis, Nov. 23.-A PSducah dis
patch of yesterday says:
Military affairs are active n this dis

ton of troops and the coming of A. J.

not proper to say. A few days, however,
will deVelope the plan contemplated in the
campaign. Both the Cumberland and
Tennessee rivers are in fine boating order,
and will prove valuable auxiliaries to the
operations in Tennessee and Kentucky.
The gunbOats Peoria and Paw Paw ar
rived here on Sunday from q reconnOis-
sance up the Tennessee river.
The bodies Of Eusign Heare, of the gun
boat Undine, and Capt. Allen, of the trans
port Venus, who were killed when they
were captured by Forrest two weeks since,
were recovered at Paris.
The gunboat found the river lined with
rebel Pickets from Pine Bluff to Johnson
vile. The rebel Gen. Lyon, in command
of that district, has Issued orders to watch
the river closely, and to blockade it as
soon as the transports commence running
again. Forrest has q poutoOn bridge

WAsHMGTOE, Nov. 23.-Tne Republican
of this evening has the following;
We are permitted to announce that
Richmond papers Of yesterday morning,
Nov. %, contain dispatches from Macon,
that on Sunday Gen. Sherman was within
10 miles of that place marching upon the
city. II Is believed in high military quar-
tiers that before this time Macon has fallen.
Information considered reliable has been
received that the city was only garrisoned
by Georgia militia, composed chiefly of old
men and boys, and that no attempt would
be made 70 defend it, fearing that its des-
truction would follow.
No reports from Richmond papers haV-
ing been received. the inference is con-
hrmatory of the above probability.
NEw YoRK, Nov. 23.-The Commercials
Washington special says the latest news
from Richmond states that Sherman was
but few miles out of Macon, and there
was great panic throughout the State in
consequence of his advance.
The Commercials Washington special Of
the 22d says: Richmond papers of Saturday
are just received. They state that Sher-
mans army was marching rapidly on Ma
con, and report his advance as having ar
rived at the outskirts of the city. They
have no hope that Cobb's militia will be
able to hold Macon. At Griffin We Gap
Tured portion of the Legislature.
Sherman, on his march thus far, has
spread out his forces, sweeping Q wide
space of devastation, creating universal
panic. Shermsn's other column is report
ed as moving on Augusta and Milledge-

news, but as We are exclusively dependent
on them for information they, do not mean
