Janeiro correspondent gives the details Of
the battle of Estera Baltic, between the Par
aguayans and the Allied army. 1t appears
that thu Paragraphs, instead of falling back

and by bold and sudden dash, gave a Sc
we're blow to them but reinforcements arriv-
ing, the Brazilians finally retired, with the
loss of battery of artillery, captured by the
Paragraphs early in the day. The fight
was very severe one; more than 900
wounded allies had arrived at Carrientes
from the field. The Paraguayans still reso-
lutely held their fort, and a severe battle
was anticipated. All their war vessels had
been converted into floating batteries, with
the exception Of FIVE, which are kept as
transports and dispatch boats.
The Brazilian feet had left the Parana
and taken up its position above the FRS
Bieas in the Paraguay river.
Some Of the newspapers report the water
in the latter river as falling.
Financial matters. in Brazil were uninl-
proved.
The United States steamer Brooklyn was
coaling at B,:enos Ayres for st. Helena,
with the Admiral on board.
The Juniata was ordered from Monteve-
die. to relieve the Brooklyn, and the Shaw

Petty MnrIirniax

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The President
to-day sent message to the House in re-
ply to a resolution requesting information
as to whether any of the civil or military
employees of the Government have assisted
in the rendition of public honors to the reb-
els, living or dead.
He incloses communications from the
heads of departments in substance as follows:
The Secretary of State says he has no
knowledge of such disloyal demonstration
on the part of any officer subject to its juris-
diction, and he believes that none such has
taken place. The Postmaster General says
he has no information upon any branch of
the inquiry so far as it may relate to the
officers and employees to this department
The Secretary of the Interior says: None
of the employees of this Department, SO far
as | am advised, | believe, within the State
of Georgia, or any other Of the rebel States,
have in any way countenanced or assisted
in the rendition of public honors to traitors,
either living or dead, or concurred in the
obstruction or denial by the rebel authori-
ties of the privilege of doing like favors to
loyalty at the graves of Union soldiers who
have persisted far from their homes and
kindred
The Secretary of the Treasury makes
similar reply.
The Secretary of War saws his Depart
ment is not in possession of any official in
formation on the subject
Interesting TO National Banks.
A circular has been issued by Gen. Sim
NER, Assistant Treasurer, embodying the
opinion of the Solicitor of the Treasury, as
follows: " 1t will be seen that no authority
is vested in the Treasurer's Office or in the
Department to refund to any National bank
the amount of duty claimed to have been
enormously exacted from it, either by direct
return of the amount paid, or by allowing it
as credit to the bank on the payment in
July next"
1t is confidently stated that first assistant
Postmaster G. RANDALL, will in few weeks
succeed Secretary HARLoN in Interior De-
partment The new army bill Just reported
to the Senate, provides for the organizing
of thirty-fve regiments of infantry five less
than the House bill provides for; five regi-
ment of Veteran Reserves and five of
colored troops.
An investigation into the Southern cotton
frauds is to be had in the House. They are
estimated at 81 100000 exclusive of an i'm
mense amount of other stealing.
