A Esrisonez d Med i.H q E.unatic

From report in the Nashville Union we are in
clined to believe that matters are conducted loosely
in the Penitentiary at that place 4 man named
Mitchell, inmate, became insane few days since,
and the Union says.
Not liking something which was done by some of
the assistants, Mitchell immured them in cells,
and taking the keys from them, locked them up and
they were only relieved some hours afterward-Mit-
chell h2ying told the keeper what he had done with
them. Il is a powerful nan physically, and hence
was not easily handled and thus able do pretty
much as ne pleased.
On Saturday last he had large stick in his hand,
when he was approached by a prisoner named Chas
, Wells, who was called the handy man" about the
concern-that iz, ne did chores around and could be
readily trusted, and was consequently allowed a
larger liberty than the other inmates Of tho build
ing, and who asked Mitchell what no was going to
do with that stick. some ret0rt of jOvial nature
ensied, when Wells, feeling assured that Mitchell
intended mischief commenced playing With the
stick, with view to getting it away from MIN. The
maniac at first appeared to take the whole matter as
aJoke but after little gGuse. he grew angry, and
drew knife and stabbed Wells to the heart

inmate for the past seven years. having been sent

RIO JANEIEO. March 3, 1865 Information is being
continually received here OF the crossing by the
Paraguayans of the Parana, and depredatiops COM
mitted by them, in the form of cattle lifting on the
Argentine side. On the 25th of January four hun
dred crossed over on raid but they were driven
back by Colonel Leyes.
But by far the most important news is that Of
fight that took place the 3lst of January between
the Paraguayans and the Argentnes The accounts
received here are cloudy, it seems that the
al4ed governments are not disposed to onlghten the
pubic IN regard 70 their operations. From a could
mum bering about six hundred men crossed over to
the Argentine side. These were promptly reinforced
till the total number of the invaders amounted to
from three 70 five thousand. The Argentine General
HornOs, with only division o. cavalry, met the in
HoTnos was subsequently reinforced by Buenos
Ayrean division, commanded By Colonel Conesa and
after the fight had lasted some hours the
recrossed, leaving several hundred dead and woand

THE BATTLE.


The fight was intensely hot, the Paraguayans holds
ing their ground with great tenacy giving way only
men by inch, and pToitng by all the difficulties in
the form OF bushes, swamps lakes, &c and at night
tney sought shelter in mountan by the bank of the
river, whence 1t was found very hard to dislodge
them, as they had been reinforced.
Finally they were compelled to recrOss the river.
leaving on the Argentine side two hundred killed
and number of wounded, variously estimated at
from one hundred to six hundred.
The Argentlnes bad several officers killed and many
wounded. The loss of placed hOrs du combat is
between i've hundred and six hundred. This loss is
severely felt in BuenOs Ayres the principal troops
engaged were from that city.
This Is the Argentine version Of the affair. The
Brazilian account differs from it materially, and if all
the statements received from the latter source are to
be believed the conduct of the ArgentineS il the fight
was not very hatterinG 10 them. While ii cannot be
denied on the one hand, that they defended them
selves nravey, it must be admitted on the other
hand, that they fellingorOusy, without the ghtest
advantage to their cause, through the negligence of
the general commanding the vanguard.
General OsoriO, in commando tho Brazilian
forces, having heard heavy firing III the direction of
the river sent to General HernoS offering reipforce
mentg which were declined. The consequence was
that the PaTaguayans, in their onset created great
confusion ID the Argentine ranks and although this
Is Denied 1t Is subStaG!iated by letters received from
surgeons OF the Brazilian army. who declared that
they found almost all the Argentines tnat they at
tended wounded in the Eear. This circumstances is
mentioned with the utmost pOliteneSs and varnish
but 1t is certain that the ATgentnes were completely
