WAR IN SOUTH AMERICA.

A sanguinary and destructive war has
broken out between the Oriental Republic
Of Uruguay and Brazil Paraguay has ta-
ken sides with the former, and it is thought
the Argentine Republic will be obliged to
do the same as a measure of self-defcnSc.
Brazil is by for the largest, the strongest,
and much the best managed of the South
American governments, and although the
territory in its possession is immcnse--be-
ing upwards Of 100000 square miles, or
as large as the United States-iti is thought
that this war is undertaken by her in order
to extend her boundaries southwark to the
estuary of the Rio De La Plata, upon a
peninsula Of which the city Of Monte Eideo,
the capitol of Uruguay stands, having un-
dertaken an unsuccessful war; many years
ago. for this purpose.

backed in this by a party in the republic
opposed to the latter--and who, in his raw
ages. has laid waste the Banda Oriental a
beautiful country 1t is thought the gov
ernment of Brazil has secretly encouraged
and aided this advcnturer, and this suppo-
sition is strengthened by the fact that in
storming the city of Paysandu, the forces
of FLORES co-operated with the Brazilian
navy. Yet the Brazilians declare they are
seeking redress for wrongs, or outrages
committed OH their territory, and people.
by the rebel FLORES.
The fighting at Paysandu was desperate
There were but 100 men in the garrison,
and this was assailed by a heavy naval
armament, and 5000 land forces under
FLORES. The fighting lasted three days,
and the invaders were frequently repulsed
but the town, the best fortified in the La
Plata territory, was entirely destroyed,
and the gallant LEANDo GOMEZ, who defend
ed the place with skill and herosm,
never surpassed, was shot down in cold
blood, after he had surrendered. This act
has very much exasperated the Uraguayan
people, and desperate retaliations will fol-

ay Monte Video, was to be next assailed

THE BOOTH FAMILY.

John Wilkes Booth, the assassin Of the
President, is the son Of the late Junius
Brutus Booth, and brother to the eminent
tragedian, Edwin Booth. The father was
born in London May |, 1896, and died in
December, 1852, on the passage from New
Orleans to Cincinatti. His first appearance
in the United States was at Petersburg, Va,
in 1921, and his first introduction to a New
York audience was at the Old Park Theatre
the following year, in his favorite eharac-
ter of Richard III.
The sons were born in Baltimore, where
the family residence was fixed during the
latter part of Mr. Brooks life. He was gif.
ted with many of the qualifications of a
great actor, but Incorporate habits preven-
ted him attaining the eminent position
which was within his reach. j. Wilkes
Booth has long been known as bitter Cop.
perhead, and his sentiments have led to
much coolness between himself and many
Of his professional associates.
He bears most striking resemblance to
his elder brother Edwin being, however,
of taller and heavier build. He has a
fine, impressive face, and the great lustrous
eyes that both the sons get from their faith
er. The assissan was marked in his repre-
sentation of Richord Ill, for extreme vio-
lence of voice and action.
His conduct in executing the hellish plot
was extremely theatrical the rushing to
the box-front, shouting the now hateful Vir-
ginian motto, the brandishing of his dagger
being more like a part of mimic tragedy,
than the reason concOmmitants of so foul
and unnatural a murder

RH- When the meeting in Wall-st., New
York, on Saturday morning last, was just
getting under way, that portion of the
crowd who were laboring to reach the Ex-
change and Nassau-st., learned that Gen.
BURNSIDE was in the Bank of Commerce
Buildings opposite the Post-Office. They
speedily began to call loudly for him to APP
pear, and after some hesitation the Gener-
al appeared He spoke first of the char
acter of the noble dead, calling forth the
warmest gratitude of the assembly for his
personal "reminiscences of him whom all
delighted to honor and then turned at
tention to Vice-President ANDREW JOHNSON,
now to be President of the United States
of America.
Gen. BURNSIDE has known Mr. JOHNSON
for two years most intimately, and assert
ed that during that entire time he never
knew of his having the unhappy fault with
which he has been charged that there is
no man more temperate habitually, and
that his condition at the late inauguration
ceremonies was induced solely by the ne
ce.sity that required stimulants for his
health, then recently so severely under
mined by sickness. The assertions of Gen.
BURNSIDE were most positive, and were re-
ceived by his audience with the utmost
cordiality and confidence None seemed
to doubt that in the man upon whom our
national calamity has thrown the burden
of nations government we are to have
such a ruler as under God shall lead US in
wisdom and righteousness, and if there be
any who do yet doubt, let them accept the
words OF General whose whole record Ell
titles him to the heartiest and most i'm,
plicit confidence
