After suffering immense loss the Allies succeeded in carrying the battery by storm the Paraguayans retiring to 2 stronger position. The fleet suffered Sc yerely and one of their best ironclads was blown up by torpedo. The allies admit ted loss of l, 200 men in the land forces alone.

rhe Condition of the South.

Among the documents accompanying the Presidents Message, we turn with greatest interest to the reports of Generals commanding Southern Departments. There is 50 great diversity of statement relative to the political condition of the South and their treatment of the freedmen, that in- disputable evidence on these points is of inestimab1e value. Gen. Howard, head of the Freedman's Burean speaks as follows,
 ssMany of the more intelligent Southerners con- cede the importance of educating the freed peo- pie: some, however, with proviso against North ern teachers. Multtudes of the lower class of whites bitterly oppose the schools, sametmes @ re- States will inaugurate asystems of instruction for all, they will secure the co-operation of the .Bu- reau, and doubtless Of Northern associations"
 "There has been but little uniformity of action in the different States with reference to the admin istration ofjustice. Assistant Commissioners have been instructed to transfer military jurisdiction as rapidly as possible to the State judicial tribunals This has been done completely in some States, while in Virginia, Louisiana, and Texas, Bureau Courts stn in existence. In parts of Louisiana and Virginis it has been found necessary to re-es tablish military tribunals after their discontinu- ance Where no Bureau Courts exist, Bureau off, cers are directed to appear as the next friend of the freedman.

 Gen. Thomas, reporting from Vicksburg, advocates the continuance of the contract system. The great bulk, both of employ CTS and employed, have, he says, carried out their contracts faithfully. He animad- verts very severely on Mississippi State le- gislation; mentioning particularly uncon- stitutional statutes forbidding colored peo- pie from bearing arms, from purchasing and leasisy real estaae, requiring all ne. groes to make contract on or before the 10th day of January in each year, or to ob- tain license to do job-work." Of the lat ter enactment, he says: elt :" is
 "The Constitution of the United States, as well as the Constitution of this State prohibits forever Slavery or involuntary servitude.
 If the negroes are required by 3 statutory en- actment to obtain license to do job-work, make a contract to labor for the year, be exposed to ar- resi- fine and imprisonment, it would seem the constitutional gift is not much more than name 5
