Advices from Entire Rios announce that the troops
Of the government Of the Argentine Confederation
have obtained decided success at last over those
OF Lopez Jordan According to the Official tele-
grams Jordan offered battle on the 23d Of septcm-
Der, at Santa Rosa, with 900 1900 men, In line OF
battle, and was attacked by the government army,
under General Rivas. This commander announces
that, after long, well contested ana bloody strug-
gle between the contendng armies, Jordan was
completely routed losing all his infantry and artll
lery, and only 600 cavalry escaping, which were
pursued for twelve miles by the cavalry OF the VIC
tors. AS soon as his infantry was little rested
Rivas marched In pursuit. In the direction Of Gala
while the army Of General Cely Obes
marched ON Gualeguay TO cut off the
retreat or the fugitives. Such are the
ohicial statements Of the government commander
out La Plata commanders are so addicted to mag.
niloquence ofanruage In their dispatches that IL is
not always safe to assume that an army '.utterly
destroyed" by one OF them may not turn IN little
the worse few days later. However, the Buepos
Ayrean journals assume that Lopez is now COM
pieely crushed and that the war is virtually at an
end.

mand by General Gelly Obes Tor marching with
out orders to attack Jordans vanguard, has pub
ushed letter accusing the government generals
