The War i'm south America.

A great battle occurred on the Gath be-
tween the alliad forces and Paraguayans,
with heavy losses on both sides. The re-
suit was inGecisive, both sides claiming the
victory. Hostilities we're proceeding. The
Paraguayans commenced the attack with
$4,000 infantry and 5000 cavalry, with des-
perate fury, but were repulsed and retired.
Their loss is estimated at 5000 killed and a
large number wounded left on the field.
The 5runt of the battle on the side of the
allies was borne by the Brazilians, who lost
about 1000 men killed and wounded. The
Argentines lost 400, and the Uruguayans
also suffered severely. The Paraguayans
had retired to their camp. No material
advantage hasoccurred to the allies from the
above engagement.

with great spirit on both sides, but Marshal
Benedek, the Austrian generalissimo, and
reputed to be one of the best commanders
in Europe, has not realized anything like
what was expected from him. With fine

Resignation of NIr. Speed.
WASHINGTON, July II

Attorney General Speed, this morning,
sent his resignation in writing to the Presi-
dent. 1t has been prepared since last Thurs
day, but at the request of the President he
withheld it until to-day. He gathered up
his private papers from his Office and turned
over his department to his assistant, j.
Hublcy Ashton, Esq, who is acting Attorney
General in the interim. Mr.. Speed will
return at once to his home IN Kentucky.
MR.. SPEEDS SUCCESSOR.
1t is probable that Henry G. Stansburg, of
Kentucky, will be nominated to succeed Mr..
Speed. VIM. B. Reed, of Pennsylvania, is
mentioned, but no one from Pennsylvania
will be taken at present, unless it should be
Senator Cowan.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
Whenever Congress agrees to adjourn upon
fixed day, it is in order at any time for ter
days from that day to suspend the rules by
two-third vote, and thus get in any bills
or resolutions out of their regular order. TIC
avoid this, it is probable that no time will
be agreed upon for several days, and it il
most likely that Congress will not get away
