Fighting.

NEW IbRk, Oct. ~.
The war in South America has commenced
in real earnest, the Heralds correspondent
and newspaper files, giving details Of the re.
cent battle OF Ya,chea. show the s.nsuiuary
character which the struggle is likely to as.
sumo. On the 18th of August the allied
forces, 800 strong. under Gems. Flores and
Hannero, encountered 3.4Ou Paraguayans
under Major Duarte, on the right bank of the
Uruguay river. The Paraguayans were un-
provided with artillery. and ou,numbered two
to one. summons 10 surrender was sent TO
them. but they replied by shooting the mes
senger. For one hour and half the Para
guayans met the fierce assault Of the allies
with desperate resistance, neither asking
or receiving qnarter which their assailants
were little disposed 70 accord. At the end OF
that time they broke and fed to the river,
pursued by 1000 cavalry. Here slaughter
took place, which one Of the victorious gen
erals characterizes as a regular butchery.
Scarcely one of the defeated army escaped.
They left 400 dead on the field. and only
300 wounded-a conclusive proof of the
fearful nature OF the struggle. Their leader
Duarte, and | 200 of his men, fell into the
hands of the Brazilans, and all their stores
were captured. The allies stated their loss a.
only $50 killed and wounded

strong, on the other side of the river, was
prevented by Brazilian gun-boats from rein
forcing Duarte, and at last dates they were
securely hemmed in by an immensely superi
or force.
As set OFF against these successes. an
engagement is reported between the Parn-
guayans and the Brazilian feet, in which the
latter were severely handled.
The Paraguayans had constructed batteries
along the Panama river to prevent the return
Of the feet. In running past these batteries,
the fleet suffered much damage.
Further battles of IN equally important
character were daily expected.

The Southern wing of these churches prob
ably had as much to do in fomenting the spir-
it of rebellion in behalf of slavery, as the pol
iticians who inaugurated the rebellion by open
war against the Union, and it is hardly to be
expected that they should thank God very
heartily, that He has sent confusion on their
counsels and overthrown the cause in which
their sympathies were enlisted.

PURITY OF CHARACTER.

Over the beauty Of the plum and the
apricot there grows bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit i'self-a soft
delicat flush spreads its flushing cheek
Now, if you strike your hand over that,
it is gone The flower that hangs in the
morning impearled with dew arrayed as no
qusehly woman ever was arrayea with jew
els-once shake it so that the beds roll off.
and you may sprinkle water over it as you
please, yet it can never be again what it
was when the dew fell silently on it from
heaven On frosty morniDg you may
see panes Of glass covered with landscape,
mountains, lakes, tress. bleudedin beau
tiful picture. Now lay your hand upon
the glass, aud by the scrath ofyour finger
or by the war;h OF your palm. that deli
cate tracery will be obliterated. So there
is in youth beauty ard purity Of char
acter, which, when once touc Aed and de.
fled, can never be restored. .J5.a4 b..
