During the past fortnight, says the Bue nos Ayres Standard, of a recent date, events of much importance have occurred in Paraguay. The allies have stretched their lines around the mountains where Lopez has-his headquarters, but not with much effect, owing to the nature of tho country. The last advices by the steam? er from Paraguay, reveal the faot that President Lopez is folly determined to fight to the last. General Mona Baretto, who made such a snccessful raid into the ouemy's country, liberating some 12,000 women and children, was attacked while defiling through a difficult pass in tho mountains, twenty-one miles long; a most desperate fight ensued. Tho Bra? zilians formed as well as the defile would admit, but the Paraguayans had a bat? tery mounted on an eminence, which raked the pass, and the rear of tho Bra? zilians was completely cut off. Hun? dreds of the unfortunate families perish? ed, being between two fires, aud the two cavalry regiments which wound up tho rear wero completoiy cut off.

BALL IN HONOR OF THE PRESS.-Tho Staunton Sjicclator states that it is the purpose of Messrs. Peyton ?fc Co., of tho Greeubrier Whito Sulphur Springs, to givo a grand and imposing masked and fancy ball in honor of the press. The members of tho press throughout tho country will bo invited to attend. The Spectator is assured by Messrs. Peyton & Co. that it will excel any ball which has yet been given at tho springs. Ko MUHLE NEOBO OUTBAGE.-From the Macon Journal and Messenger, of jester day, wo get the particulars of the most fiendish outrage that has ever been com? mitted in sloy country, barbarous or ci? vilized. It appears that, on Thursday last, two respectable yonng girls, residing near Station 14, upon the Central Boad, were on their way home from school, when they were overtaken by two stout negroes, who immediately seized them, and despite their screams for aid, com? mitted a diabolical outrage. Having ef? fected their brutal deed of violence, one of the negroes, who had bot one arm, shook the mutilated stump of the other in the face of the eldest of the two girls, and exclaimed: "I wants my revenge and I'm bound to have it. When I belonged to your father I ran away, he followed me to tlie woods and shot me, and I had to lose this arm; do you tee it? Now I'm bound to get even with him, and draw his pocket-knife, he severed her arm en? tirely from her body, between the wrist and elbow joint. The two scoundrels then broke away and ran for the woods. Very fortunately the girls had presence of mind enough to tie the mutilated arm tightly above the elbow until medi? cal aid could be procured, and it is bare? ly possible that the young sufferer's life may be spared. The uews of this deed of violeuce ran like wild-fire all through tho neighbor? hood, and iu a short time a mounted patrol was organized, who volunteered to go in pursuit of the scoundrels. They soon found one of them, whom they questioued right sharply, but somehow or other the uegro got lost somewhere iu tho swamp, aud the party returned home without him. Tho other, and by far the worst of the two, succeeded in escaping from that neighborhood aud made his way toward Macou. GOLD ron COTTON.-Tho New York Herald of Monday, in its financial ar? ticle, says: Now that the Southern States are about to commence a new cotton year, they ought to transact tho whole of their cot? ton business on a gold basis, just as the foreign bankers have always done in their dealings in bills of exchange. In this way the whole Southern States might gradually place themselves on a gold cur? rency basis precisely the same as prac? ticed iu California, thus ignoring the Legal-Tender Act of Congress, just as the loyal State of California always has done, from tho beginning until now. ? Tho Southern States, by following the I example of California in buying aud i selling ouly for gold, would theu accu? mulate a gold and bilver curreucy, which would briug about a practical resump? tion of specie paymeuts and protect them from danger of loss from any fluc? tuations that may arise in thu market value of tho groeuback curreucy. Cot? ton commands gold iu every marketj at home aud abroad, and it is abettor basis for the practical immediate resumption of specio payments in tho Southern States than the gold and silver mines of California. Every Southerner is inte? rested in the question, and every journal in the South ought to exert its influence to bring about this result without delay. Let the South sell its products for gold, and gold only, and let them keep their surplus in gold as the only currency to use, just as California always has done. This will be some progress on the road to specie payments, and it will tend to keep gold in the country. SWIFT RETRIBUTION FOR A HORRIBLE CniME.-It is our painful duty, says the Industrial Herald, of Scottsboro, Ala., to record an occurrence in this County, on Thursday, the 5th instant, which makes our blood recoil and shocks every sense of humanity. A young lady named Susan Homes, aged sixteen or seventeen years, went to a spring on tho farm of Dr. P. H. Helton, one-fourth of a mile from where she lived, for water. Having overstayed her usual time, uneasiness was excited, and the family wont to learn the cause of her deteution. First, blood was discovered, and soon her dead body, with her skull split open with an axe, was found, dragged a short distance from the road. To add to the horror and grief of her friends, it was also discovered that her person had beeu violated. It was known that a young negro man, John Helton, had been choppier? near tho spring. Swiftly ho was brought up, and his bloody axe exhibited, which was fol? lowed by his confession, and the out ; raged people huug him immediately. A woman named Mrs. Gifford, living iu tho Northern part of Marion Coauty, Iowa, died Saturday from the effects of j fright at tho eclipse. She had no know? ledge of its approach and was alone at the time it came on, with the exception of a child four weeks old. Terrified at tho sight, she seized her child aud fled to a neighbor's, a mile distant. When she reached there her reason had gone, Sho lingered till Saturday, when she died without her reason haviug returned. Row IN TUSKEGEE.-A negro boy was killed by a negro policeman in Tuskegee. Ala., last night. He was disturbing ro I ligious worship at tho negro church, aud I was boisterous. lu undertaking to ar? rest him a difficulty arose, and the po ' liccinau struck him with a club, which j produced death. j A man named John Bowen, a former employee of tho Erie Railroad, has made a confession in which ho declares himself tho author of tho terrible disaster at Carr's Rock, in April, 18G8, whereby twonty or thirty persons lost their lives. Ho says ho displaced a rail, thereby causing the accident, Tho colored waiters of the Internation? al Hotel, Niagara Falls, recently mutinied because a white cook was employed. Au assault was made upon tho cook, which resulted in tho discomfiture of the color? ed braves. Mr. Alexander Hall, of Baltimore, was accidently drowned Monday while en? gaged in crabbing near tho Lazoratta in Baltimore. ? STORY FROM "NED BEAC*."-A friend, soys toe Columbas Sun, sends" us the following story from "Ned Brace," the famous humorist of '-Georgia Scenes." We do not remember to hare beard it before, and do not think it has ever been in print: Mr. Bacon, of Edge field, Sooth Caro? lina, the hero of the "Georgia Scenes," under the name of "Ned Brace," was once courting a lady either in Georgia or South Carolina. She had refused him frequently, and he as often renewed his unit. At one interview she became ex? ceedingly annoyed at his importunity, and tola him she conld not marry him, that their tastes, opinions, likes and dis? likes wore totally different. "In fact,'" said she, "Mr. Bacon, I don't think there is one subject on earth upon whioh we agree." "I assure you, madam, that you are mistaken," said Mr. Bacon, "and I can prove it." "If you will mention one thing about which we agree, said she, "I will marry you." "Well," said Mr. Bacon, "I will do it. Suppose, now, you and I were traveling together, we arrive at night at a hotel, and there aro only two beds vacant, in one there is a man and in tho other a woman, which bed would you select to sleep in?" She arose indignantly aud replied, "With the woman, of course, sir." "So would I," earnestly replied Mr. Bacon. HORRIBLE.-Tho woman's paper, the Revolution, advocate.- for ladies the cos? tume worn by the Swiss peasantry, i. e., a skirt reaching only to the kuees aud ornamental stockings. This is positively naughty. We cou lind no such abbrevi? ations set down as authorized in modes? ty's dictionary. SNOW IN JULY.-On the 29th and 30th of last month much snow fell iu various parts of France and Northern Italy. On MOuut Cenis it fell twenty iuches deep, on Mount Genevre thirteen inches, and tho suburbs of the towu of Luze wera covered with a layer three inches thick. A raptured writer inquires, "What is there under Heaven more humauizing, or, if we may use the term, more angel izing than a fine black eye in a lovely woman?" Two black eyes is the only answer thought of nt present. Shooting and killing is getting to be so common iu New Orleaus that when a mau hears a shot he looks himself over j to see if there ore any holes in his hide, and goes on about his business. A squaw, 117 j-ears old, sells big cat. fish iu the streets of Sioux City, Iowa, and takes her regular benzine. She is i the mother of thirty-live children, us far as heard fro m. CANNING FRUIT,-Messrs. Ormes .t j Tucker, of Covington, Georgia, says the j Examiner, have in their employ 135 i hands, and average 3,500 cans per day.
