ducements to clubs. Where ten per-
sons take the paper it only costs them
two dollars and a-half. Forty sub
scribers only pay two dollars. The
Weekly Avalanche shall not be infe-
rior in size, appearance, and variety
of news and editorial matter to any
Weeklyin the country. Each num-
Der will contain a complete history
of the political events of the preced-
ing week. The exciting events of
the day and the diabolism of the Rad
ical tyrants and imps Of perdition
will be carefully recorded. We have
special correspondents in all direc-
tions, and our facilities for making a
first-class newspaper are unsurpassed.
We ask our friends throughout the
South to give us such encouragement
as their circumstances will admit, and
we will continue to put forth our
best efforts to stay the torrent Of POI
litical corruption, and to develop and
foster Southern resourcesa and interests.

SOUTH AMERICA.

ANOTHER DESPERATE ENGAGEMENT BEFORE
HUMAITA-REPULSE OF THE ALLIES.
LISBON, June 1.-THE South American mail
steamer has arrived here from Rio Janelro. She
brings the following intelligence from the scene OF
war on the Parana. After heavy bombardment Of
Humaita, the Allies made a combined attack on the
rear of that position to gain possession of the forest
of the Gran Chaco, and thereby cut off the commu-
ncation of the Paraguayans. The assault was re-
pulsed after desperate engagement, and the Allies
were compelled to renquish the attempt. The siege
of Humaita, however, still continued, and the for
tress was closely invested by land and water.
