r,nr War in South America.

NV York, Nov. 12-The special cor
..sry-deut OF the ''Herald," from Rio ia
ua.ro, says: The chief of staff of the Mar
nuies De Gaxias had arrived from Paraguay
+.u departed again after q short stay, for
The sr:l Of war. Runner had 1t that he
brought proposals for peace from Lopez,
l5ut the truth was that he was sent solely to
Inform the Government Of the increasing
gnmitv between the Argentine and Bra
Iiu troops. ReinfOrcements were con-
-cQueu.Iy being rapidly forwarded, and it
wa aven stated that the able-bodied slaves
were to lie drilled, their owners being paid
GyY them at 5000 per head. The rumored
propositions for peace, purporting to come
rom Lopez, were in reality prepared IN
gu-uos Ayres for effect in the market. A
t-.t occurred about the oath of Septem-
berlin which the DraZilians were defeated,
reporting a loss of 4 thousand men and
forty officers. They were compelled to
abandon the field. Mr.. Gould, the Secre-
tury Of the British Legation, was attempt
ing to patch up peace between the rival
Powers, but SO far without success. The
papers stated that 10 mediation could be
accepted by Brazil except it came from the
United States.

HIS EGcellency, JONATHAN WORTH. Governor State
North Carolina:
SIE have the honor to call your attention to
Circular issued. Ccturber 17th 1867, by Kemp P
Battle Public Treasurer With special reference to
the third and fourth points OF instruction, and
also 10 the cause lex0 preceding The last. The
proposition to collect in all cases, nigh taxes
az arc authorized under the law OF 1856 is vlo-
lation OF the prime PIE laid down in the Circular
OF October 9th, current series
The fourth proposition is not warranted by the
tax laws. The 6tate levieS certain taxes and II
those taxes are not sufficiently productive by rea-
son OF ilIegaity any other cause, to meet the
estimated revenues, it is not competent fOr the
Executive authority of the State to authorize the
county revenues levied under the authority OF an
act Of the General Assembly and to appropriate
them to make good the decieA cies OF the revenues
of the State.
The last proposition within referred to is OBJ
iectionable IN being calculated to misead the Rev
enue officers as to tie meaning of the second sub
division of paragraph l, General Orders No 90.
You will cause the Circular to be Withdrawn,
and if reisSued, coniormed to the above views.
