FARTHER POINT, Oct. 2.-The steamship
Belgian, Liverpool 2lst via Londonderry 22d,
passed this point this afternoon Ell route to
Quebec. There were no new developments in
the proceedings against the Fenians. The ex-
ami~ation of prisoners stood for the 23d Jas.
Murphy, one of the men arrested at Dublin,
who described himself as a citizen of Boston,
and protested against his arrest, had been set
at liberty. Afterwards, it is stated,
an interview took place between the American
Consul and the authorities. 1t is stated that
Murphy is connected with the War Depart.
ment at Washington, but no explanation is
given of this connection with the Irish people.
AS the Sth regiment was on parade in Cork
barracks, the Sergeant Major was called into
the guard room and shown roll book of men,
bers' names, taken from an arrested Fenian.
The Sergeant Major admitted that one of the
signatures was his, and was at once taken into
custody. A private soldier belonging to the
same regiment was also arrested. This caused
great excitement IN Cork, even leading, it is
reported, to a Cork banker.
A Fenian demonstration was rather expected
at the Limerick races, and military were held
in readiness but all passed off quietly.

NEW YORK, October 2.-Further details
have been received respecting the war in
South America. The Paraguayans are actively
pushing forwa ard, while their opponents, the
allied forces, remained motionless, but concen-
trating at Concordia waiting the attack. The
Brazilian fleet, on the Parona river, had com
II enced Il retrogade movement, fearing that the
Paraguayans would construct batteries below,
and so gain command of the river. The mag
nitude which this struggle is assuming may be
estimated from the fact that at the date of our
latest advices there were l13, 900 mon under
arms. of whom So 900 men were Paraguay
ans, and 81, ,0GG allies.
Three American vessels were injured during
the late gale off Montevedo. The bark Edith
Ross lost three sailors.
Maximilians Consul in this city, has made
public proclamation of his Government re-
pudiating President Juarez and all his deeds,
declaring, of course, that 1t will not be hell
responsible for his contracts.
The Herald's Jacksonville, Mississippi, cor
respondent says the political canvass in the
State appears to proceed on queer issues
The salient fires Of the Republican and Demo
cratic platforms elsewhere, seem to be wanting
in Mississippi. The negro comes to the sur
face there as elsewhere, but the people are
more anxious to make him work than to give
HIM the light of voting. The planters fear an
immigration of their colored laborers to the
large towns, where more lucrative employment
can be had, and on failing in this employment
they anticipate the negro will become vagrant
and lie on the stata for support. Accordngsl
they urge that an act Of Congress should be
passed, to permit The cotton growing States to
make such laws as will compel the negroes to
work for stipulated wages and for stated
lengths Of time.
Our Jackson correspondent states that the
candidate who advocates this course will un-

New York, Oct. "A private letter from

sheriff s posse, chasing jayhawkers. In fact
all our duties are most inglorious. Only
troops enough are being left to take care of
the negroes. Everybody is getting tired and
wishing for war with Mexico or elsewhere.
