Montivedos, Uruguay, 2sth of July, we have
additional details of much interest regarding the
war between the Republic of Paraguay on the
one hand and the Empire of Brazil the Argen-
tine Confederation, and the Republic of Uru-
quay on the other.
President Lopez had taken command of the
Paraguayans in person, but was moving more
cautiously than at first, owing to several checks
which his troops had received.
The allies claim that the navy of the Para
guayans was nearly annihilated in the battle of
Richaelo, between Paraguay and Brazil, and
that on land the Paraguayans had also expe-
rienced some material repuses. The armies of
all the contending powers were, however, in
motion, and recruiting and all kinds Of military
preparation were in progress in every direction,
but till the rain and cold gave place to more
favorable weather, it was thought that no de-
csive campaign would be commenced There
were seventeen thousand Brazians in the field.
A Montivedos paper announces that a United
States naval expedition of g eat strength would
soon arrive on the South American coast, ac-
eo..ape..ied by commissioner whose duty 1t
would be to demand and enforce non-nterfer-
| ence with free navigation of the Platte river
by Brazil, and the payment, by the Govern
ment of that country, of four hundred thous-
and dollars, as indemnity for American vessels
destroyed by rebel pirates in Brazilian waters.
a Buenos Ayres Journal however, says that
this story has no foundation in fact
The city of Montivedos was said to be in a
terrible condition. owing to political intrgues,
political arrests, murders in broad day light,
burglaries, robbery and other lawlessness.
New YORK, Sept. 16.-Advices from ia
maica ard West Indies 10 Sept 7, report that
| the long protracted drought which had caused
wide spread distress in the Islands was over
and favorable showers had fallen.
Cen Lamothe refugee from Hayti, re-
siding at kingston Jamaica, having been
threatened with expulsion from the Island for
alleged completely in tie Haytian rebellion,
had written to the Governor of jamaica deny
ing that he was at all mixed up in any scheuIe
against his country.
There does not appear to have been any
truth in the report received by previous ar
rival, that an insurrection was about to break
out in the Western portion of Jamaica.
The rebellion in Hayti is still unsubdued. A
letter from Port au Prince of the Goth of Au-
gust, published in Jamaica paper, says that
Getfrard, as already mentioned left Port au
Prince on the 25th for the seat of war; taking
! with him ], 600 men. The insurgents had been
repulsed in Sl their advances, and the recap
ture from them of the town of Cape Hoytem
was daily expected. q, It was rumored, that
Fort ST. Michel had already been captured by
the National forces, with sixty prisoners.
Several of the Haytian papers denounce the
excesses committed by the revolutionary lead
ers in breaking open stores and robblng their
merchants to pay the soldiers. -'t
| I: The Times Washington special says the
| bureau Of rebel archives, under charge of that
well known scholar and writer, DR.. Francis
Leber, is now fairly organized and at work on
the examination and classification of the five
hundred boxes of archives of the late rebel
Government. These documents relate to every
district and period Of the rebellion, and cover
the larger part of its civil and military
history there. This work conducted by such
an able and discriminating guest as DR.. Lieber
will put the history of the Confederacy in a
correct light before the public.
The title of bureau has been changed and 1t
is now called the archive office Of the War
Department, and it will be the custodian of an
| immense portion of the archives of the war,
already at the Department. There are now
deposited in the Department the official histo
ries of eight or ten army corps, as filed by
their Adjutant Generals
The archive office now occupies spacious
rooms on street while waiting the prepara-
ton Of Ford's theatre, which will be in readi-
ness about the lst of January.
10 addition to the archives there will be de-
posted there about seven hundred captured
flags and numerous other trophies, which will
render it the historical museum of the rebel
lion.
The Postoffice Department continues its work
of restoring southern mail facilities, and a
dozen more offices have been opened, among
them Dalton, Oglethorp and Amcrcus, Ga,
