FROM BUEEos AYREs.
The Hsrsld's Buenos Ayres correspon-
dent gives additional particulars regarding
the hostile operations of Paraguay against
Brazil, the Argentine Confederation, and
Uruguay, und0- date or May 2lst. No
engagement had yet taken place, but one
could not much longer be delayed, as Par
agusy was still pushing forward her two
strong columns of troops into the interior
of Brazil and the Confederation.
The news of the triumph of the Union
cause in this country caused much sincere
rejoicing in BuenOs Ayres, among the ma.
tives as we'll as among our own people.
The Buenos Ayres national holiday, the
25th of May, corresponding to that of our
Fonrth of July, was celebl ated this year as |

that the payment of our war debt can be
vastly facilitated by wise and liberal pol

CROPS IN GEORGIA.
The Worlds correspondent at Columbus,
Ga, says: The scarcity of provisions in
this region has been such that the people
have planted plenty of corn. A good deal
has been put inte the ground since the ces-
sation of fighting. In this State as in 9th
er Southern States have passed through,
there will be enough corn for the people
themselves. There is now real scarcity
of provisions in the markets. Poor Hour
is worth three dollars q hundred in coin.
Board at hotels is four dollars per day, the
same price of the best hotels in New York.
this being the only resemblance between
them. The best families are living on corn
bread, bacon and buttermilk, with an oc-
cssional chicken. The vast numbers of
DOOR widows and helpless people must
exist some how, but nobody can tell how
the poverty of the people is exemplifed
in language, appearance and habits. Per-
sens who have evidently been raised in
afluence are denying themselves some OF
the chief luxuries of the season. They all
dress plainly. There are plenty of women
whose external furnishing is sadly out OF
taste and repair in travelling on railroads,
and a great many get into the cars with
ont q cent to pay their fare, trusting to
the generosity of the conductor for ride.
Sometimes whole families stsit off with
little or no provisions. Eating houses are
few, and those charge dollar for entry to
the table, when scrabble ensues for the
edibles.
The State of Georgia, like South Caro-
lina, is q good deal crippled by raidi
through her territory. Not less than three
hundred miles OF railroad have been tori
nm within her borders since the fall of At
lants, The loss to the State in devssts
ton cannot be less than $3O0,OOO,OOO
At Columbus three large cotton factorie
were burned down besides $4,000 bales o
cotton and nearly 100000 bnshels o
corn. The destruction here was four day
after the surrender of Lee, but Gsners
Wilson knew nothing of the negotiation
with Sherman until he reached MseoI
where he was met by flag of truce Whie
fortunately stopped the destruction.
Between West Point and Montgomer
the railroad company run one engine an
two fat cars, and charge ten cents per mil
refusing to take gresnDscks except at
cents on the dollar.
The negro question is still the sbsorbir
one, and furnishes the only occupation
the military government, The negro
mostly continue at work at their form
homes, but In the cities and towns the
are great numbers idle. Many Of 4
males have run off and left their fAmili
:, to be cared for by their late owners.
The inhabitants complain thst those VI
i we're the most esger 10 give the negro
q freedom, will not now give him his 70
!. nor compel him to work for it, but t
b wants of both whites and blacks will bri
a them into better frame of mind ere lOI
!. and by next yeaf some uniform rules C
be adopted for their treatment. Mes
while they will suffer- ,..
