Details of the Surrender
of Uuguayana.
From the River Platte Times, Sept 29.
On the morning of Sept. 18, at six o'clock,
every tent was struck, and at seven o'clock the
whole of the allied forces were ready to advancce.
A large quantity of gabions, poles and scaling
ladders were carried by the men. for the purpose
of taking the town by assault. At eight o'clock
A. M. the bugles sounded the advance.
There were about twenty thousand men under
arms. The centre was occupied by the Argen
tines, the right by the Brazilians, and the left by
ibe Orientals, who, though few in number, con
tained perhaps the most experienced troops. In
Sassing the river between the camp and the town,
eneral Flores, with his usual disregard of per
sonal risk, advanced alone to' find a pass, which
he speedily accomplished and at once , crossed
his command.- The whole army followed, taking
Bp the respective positions assig led to them. At
midday the batteries were posted on an eminence
within five hundred yards of the enemy's trench
es. A last summons to surrender D-ivi
hours' grace was then sent to Estigarribia. Some
of the troops, however, beginning to pitch their
tents, General Mitre gave the order to advance,
which was promptly obeyed, and both infantry
and artillery neared the trenches within two hun
dred yards without a shot being fired. Some
battalions were thrown out as skirmishers, but
the enemy made no sign off esistance,
In this peculiar state of things some of the
men advanced close to the trenches, when Gen.
Ficasio Borjes, who was among them, was ad
dressed by Estigarribia himself, who said, "give
me at least time enough to answer, and do not be
in sucn a hurry," In a few minutes the number
of those' who approached the trenehes had ran-
idly increased, and in a quarter of an hour about
a tnousand. men passed the trenches, and an ear
nest traffic immediately commenced betwee n
tbm and a part of the garrison, who offered for
Mpinuf Deer, cigars, &c, and were delighted
to find that they were naid in in .-'AanAV.r

u,ieiuiz-tugu opeeauy ensued; lots of Paraguay
ana, being invited to visit the allies, might be
een mounted behind the cavalry approaching the
lines, so that under such circumstances fighting
was out of the question. At two P. M. an an
swer to the summons was brought to the Empe
ror; and then the Brazilian Minister of War, Se
nor Ferraz, entered the town to conclude the ca
pitulation with Estigarribia. In front of the
lines of the allies the troops were intermingled
with the enemy in perfect harmony, and it ap
peared a farce to await the reply of Estigarribia.
But the allied commanders decided to observe all
formalities. Shortly after 3 P. M., Senor Ferraz
sent a message to the Emperor 'that all was ar
ranged, and that Estigarribia and his army had
surrendered.
. The generals, accompanied by their respective
staffs, then advanced to the trenches, and the
Brazilian minister of war led forth Commandante
Estigarribia, who surrendered his sword and re
volver with an air of dignity which showed that
he fully comprehended the importance of the act.
He was followed by the wretched priest, Duarte,
his colleague and monitor. This man trembled
from head to foot, and, although leaning bn Gen
eral Cabral and an aid-de-camp, could hardly
place one foot before the other. General Cabral
was obliged to reassure him by declaring that he
"had nothing to fear, that the emperor guaran
teed his safety." The two Salvanachs, Oriental
officers, deserters in arrns against their country,
urrendered to the Brazilian flag.
Then followed the formal surrender of the
troops, who defiled before the emperor, with Gen
eral Flores on bis right and General Mitre on the
left. The appearance of the Paraguayans excited
feelings of pity mingled with disgust. Their filthy
condition was indescribable. They were in ras
and appeared like walking corpses. Hunger and
misery were depicted in their countenances. As
they marched out they were divided amongst the
three armies, and the few officers who command
ed them presented themselves without their arms.
There were not five thousand five hundred men
all told. The emperor gave immediate orders
that the medical staff should attend to the sick
prisoners. The whole of the arms, four field
pieces and the correspondence were taken posses
sion of by the allies.

Joseph E Johnston. of the late rebel
army, arrived in this city at an earlv hour on
Monday morning, and is afcnresenfc st.nrmir.cr at.
the New York hotel, on Broadway. This is the
first visit which this military personage has made

visit is in connection with the new National Ex
press company, of which he has 'rer.pnt.lv Wn
elected president.
bince his arrival here his leisure moments hv
been besieged by numerou3 applications for an
interview with him proceeding from southern
sojourners as well as residents of the city.
During an interview yesterday between a citi
zen of Georgia and the general, the question of
reunion or submission arose, in the course of
which the general said " they had submitted with
no ill feeling toward the north ;" and further,
that they were compelled to do it." He said it
had been frequently intimated at the north that
the people of the south were still of the opinion
T J.I 11 . .
wiai ineir allegiance was due nrst to their own
state. inis, lie said, "is not the case. The
question is settled. The people throughout the
entire soutn. regarded themselves aS citizens of
the United States. Yet I have no doubt," he re
marked, "but there are some bitter men still in
the south who oppose the idea of reunion. What
country is there where the government has not
its enemies ? But the people have aecepted with
out the slightest dissent. I have seen no dissat-
lslaction on the subject."
speaking on the question of slavery he said,
very warmiy : " jjut lor that institution Vir
gima would have been a richer state than New
York to-day."
I he southern gentleman above alluded to re
marked to the general, in relation to his removal
by Jeff. Davis from command of the rebel army
of Tennessee, tl&t the entire south, the people
aim press, wim me exception ol the Alabama
press and those of the Richmond government
took sides with him in the issue : and that in the

ered the greatest calamity which befell the rebel
cause, with the exception of the death of, Stone
wall Jackson and Sidney Johnston. President.
Johnston, he said, is a ereat man. He had not.
oeen appreciated in his own section, but as chief
magistrate ol the nation his great abilities and
power were developing.
it was remarked to the general that he looked
exceedingly well.

This body was in session on the 2d. It had
established the executive and judiciary depart
ments, created the office of lieutenant governor,
and denied the right of negro suffrage. The con
vention refused, by a vote of thirty-four to thir
teen, to repudiate the war debt of the state, but
adopted, by a. vote of thirty-seven to ten, Mr.
Magee's substitute, leaving the question to the
people
The Tallahassee Union of the 2d inst. says :
We learn that on Saturday last a mutiny oc
curred in the Third regiment United States col
ored troops, stationed at Jacksonville. It ap
pears that the lieutenant colonel ordered one of
the men to be tied up by the thumbs, as n nr.
ishment for some disobedience or transgression
of orders. The troops rallied and cut the man
down. He was tied up asain. and when the men
made a second rush to take him down the lieu
tenant colonel -fired on them. Volleys were then
fired on them; the lieutenant colonel was shot
through the hand, and before the disturbance
was quelled several were injured or wounded.
We have no further particulars of the affair.

the bottom of the car by some means gave way,
precipitating Willoughby and Ritter upon the

FENIAN IMPOSTURE.
Hundreds and probably thousands 6V poor.
honest, unsuspecting Irish, living in tha unso

cajoled into making remittances to the mi nagers
of the order here and elsewhere not on tithe
of which, they may depend on it, are us ed for
any other purposes than maintaining a set of
scamps in idleness. Stories come to us of re
mittances of fenian funds to Ireland. Most of
these stories are doubtless intended to show that
the contributions received are actually expended
for some revolutionary end. Even if an honest
share of the funds were sent to Ireland, the re
sult would apparently be merely to send a few
more ill-advised young men to jail. But we do
not believe that the money is used for any other
purpose than getting notoriety and patent leather
boots for a set of idlers in this country. It is
really time, that those Avho are in a position to
advise the unsophisticated people in the rural
districts as to the real nature of the fenian swindle,
should do so. It is a crime to bolster up the
concern even as a joke. The clergy, on whose
ministrations the Irish Americans chiefly depend,
are probablv doing their best to stop the swin
dle. But every one who wishes well to Ireland
and her people should lend a hand in exposing
what is really an unmitigated imposture.

The editor of the Times acknowledges the re
ceipt of Mr. Killian's note. He begs to say in

merely an expression of opinion concerning an
organization of persons-, he sees no around for
demanding or making a "retraction," except upon
the submission of such facts as shall lead to
a change of such opinion. .

New York, Nov. 15.
Mr. Kiliian has received and read Mr. Ray
mond's reply to Mr. O'Mahony's application for a
retraction oi "statements oi a personal cnarac
ter, embodied in the 'fenian imposture' article of
yesterday's TUnes?' Mr. Kiliian cannot agree
with Mr. Raymond that those statements are
"merely an expression of opinion concerning an
organization of persons" nor, if they were, could
he regard them otherwise than as libelous, gross
ly offensive, and richly , deserving of rebuke from
from all such "organized persons." He sees in
them on the other hand, a plain and palpable at
tempt to "individualize" the responsibility of the
"fenian imposture," as Mr. Raymond is pleased
to term it to charge 'the managers of the or
der here and elsewhere" with complicity in, and
the management of a ''swindle''- in brief, to
stigmatize them as dangerous citizens and disre
putable men, preying on the credulity of their
fellow countrymen. The official "managers" of
the order being, just at present, three executive
officers, now resident in New York, there is no
difficulty in making the application personal to
them the difficulty indeed'? seems to t consist in
presuming the r "expression of opinion" could
have had any other meaning. To sate Mr. Ray
mond from any . further embarrassment on this
bead, he is respectfully informed that ' the three
"managers," whose names I handed to him yes-'
terday may be regarded i fa i either an "individual"
or "collective" light, but that each and every ' of
uiem consider Mr. U Mahony's demand for a
retraction'' individually and collectively proper,

Mn Jiillian cannot restrain Ms expression of
asromsnment; at Mr. Raymond's allusion to "such
a submission of facts as shall lead ta a change of
opinion-m" Mr. Raymond. He considers such a
propositiontnade under such circumstances, an
aggravation or tne original insult, and, the very
acme of, impertinence in itself. ;Libett;starting
frona ignorance can have no warrant Or apology ;
the very right f criticism depends on a superior

muon, jur. iuilian lias the honor to renew the
demand lor a retraction," not merely from
seusej oi jusace to ttie managers of the "fenian
imposture," but with a wjpll assured belief that
the wise liberty of public criticism, the dimitv
and usefulness of the press, the sacred riches of
private reputation, the more alluring rewards of
Puduc amDiuon, are ail deeply concerned in any
effort to guard our press from recklessness and
our politics from incivism. Should Mr. Raymond
fail to see the urgency of the retraction asked
for, he is requested to name some seneksman
With whom Mr. O'Mahony and Mr. Kiliian might

Mr. Kiliian regrets that he has not made him
self fully understood by Mr. Raymond. He cer
tainiy sought to assure Mr. R. that a refraction.
as ample as the offense, was required : and that.
failing to receive it, Mr. O'Mahony and himself
would leel juitined in insurmg full atonement by
any course of action recognized as legitimate
under like aggravation. It is not Mr. O'Ma
hony's or Mr. Killian's intention to prejudice Mr.

ever, due to Dotn to add that the question of

The "Peaceful Indians" A Train
bed by tne Broadbrim Sioux.
Rob
From a Letter in the Leavenworth Times.
Fort Collins, October 24.
I started from Fort Laramie, a few days since,
in company with four others. Just after we had
reached Pole Creek and camped, we were attack
ed by about one hundred and twenty-five Sioux
Indians, who killed our cattle, and then com
menced firing into the train. We kept them off
for three or four hours, when the Indians were
reinforced, and we had to run for life. . The In
dians took everything I had. Our loss will amount
to over $12,000. None of us were injured. All
that saved us was our horses, which were first
rate, and which we had taken the precaution to
tie to our wagons.
If you see any one who wants to make peace
with the Indians, just knock him down for me.
The troops in this country make a poor attempt
at fighting Indians. More soldiers than Indians
are killed. Yours,
R. E. SANDERS.

Important Order.
Col. E. Whittlesey, assistant commissioner of
freedmen for North Carolina, has just issued the
following order, important to tlie white as well as
black population :
Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 10.
All officers and agents of this bureau, and
teachers of freedmen, will publish as widely as
possible the following instructions :
I. In view of the fact that government aid now
given to the destitute may soon be withdrawn
freedmen now being in camps, colonies and towns
are directed to find employment at once by
which they may support themselves.
II. pfficers and agents of the bureau will issue
no more rations to any refugees or freedmen who
refuse situations where they might' earn ' their
support. While the innocent and well-disposed
will be protected, vagrant idlers who try to liye
without any honest calling will be promptly ar
rested and punished.
III. Paupers will, as soon as practicable, be
turned over to the " Wardens of the Poor " for
support, and officers and agents will .co-operate
with such wardens in providing for the infirm and
helpless. Until ample provision is made by the '
civil authorities, such" persons will not be forcibly
removed from the plantations ' where they were -"
living at the close of the war.
IV. Orphans and children of narents whn bar
no honest calling, or visible means of support,
and other minors, with the consent of their Ba
rents, may be apprenticed to some good trade or
occupation, in accordance with the laws of the state
applying to white children. . Every effort will be' '
made to provide in this way good homes for all '
minors now dependent upon the government, that - !,1
they may not become vagrants and paupers. . . Ki 1
