Ac cording to the imperfect account received, the Para guayans, it appears. had intrenched themselves on the isihmus formed by the junction of tho Parana and Paraguay river, a little below Humaitn. when Gen. Flnrez, one of the commanders of the allied forces, fell into an ambush and was badly beaten bv Gen. Lopez. El ore;: in this affair lost four guns and 2,000 men in killed and prisoners. He would have been annihilated bad not the balance of the allied troops, under Gens. Osorio and Mitro made their ap pearance and compelled Lopez to fall back. The latter, however, retreated in good order behind his intrenclimcnts, carrying along the guns ho had taken and his prisoners, without being molested by the enemy The Paraguayans defend themselves with a cour age and determination worthy of all praise. The country they orcup? is full of rifle-pits, earthworks and chtveaux de friie, and it is not to be supposed that tho allies, although vastly superior in number, can ever succeed in conquering or defeating them. General Lopez is decided to fight as long as he has a single soldier under his flag; and as his forces amount to about 10,000 men taore is no prospect of an early termination of the war. The allied fleet is still below Corrientes, without any chance of ascending the river, which is too shallow to allow vessels of heavy draught to go up.

WFSTKRN ENTERPRISE.— Yes they do build towns rapidly out. West—wish we had a cornor lot in one that's to grow most rapidly next year! That puts us in mind of a story we onco heard from a gentleman "interested in Poyfield." It seems thai very far out West, there was a tribe of Indians who lived in a very secluded vast wilderness, where they had owed for their lodges for a Ion? time. One fine morning they all started off on a horse stealing excursion, and did not return for many days—when they did, they found a first-class hotel with nigger waiters and gongs, wine carts and Johai nisberg, on the spot wbero th-ir council lodge had been—and a town scat tered all around it with lots at two hundred dollars a fyot! Enterprising people this!— Exchange. AN OUTRAGE.—Tho Iluaiapi Indians, in Colorado valley, are up in arms against the whites, on account of the luudvr of their chief Huaba Yuma. Some vagrant Indians, supposed to belong to the llualapi tribe murdered a man on the Mojave road, and siole cattle. The party of whites who started out to avenge tile murder and thefts, fell upon old lluaba Yuma, the chief of the tribe, one of the staunchest friends the whites have ever had in the country, and, instead of dem jnding the murderers, shot liiiu down in cold blood, and also killed some half dozen of his tribe. When the whites murder innocent Indians for the offenses of the bad ones of their tribes, it is not surprising that the Indians should retaliate in kind.— jfevwla Patent.

The amendment, re quiring the consent of tbe Legislature of New Vork, within two years betorc thccompauy shall commence operations, bo'iig under discussion- Mr. Sherman moved to postpono tho further con sideration of the bill and to take up the bill to aid in the construction of telegraph lines, and to secure to the Covernmeut tho use of. the samo l'or postal, mili tary and other purposes. TELEGRAPH LINKS. t Mr liowo moved to amend the motion by making the bill under consideration the special order for Monday, at 1 o clock. The motion as amended was agreed to. tho bill indicated was then taken up, the question being on the amendment of Mr. Crimes extondin the beuefits ol the bill to all telegraph companies instead of exclusively to the National Telegraph Company, ol New York. Mr. Crimes withdrew his amendment. Mr. Sherman submitted a substitute for the 4th section, providing that any other telegraph company organized under the-laws of the United States, or any .State, for tho con-truetion of telegraph lines through tho different States and territories, may enjoy the same privileges as are conferred upon tile National Telegraph Company, .'re., subject to the same restrictions, and provided they file the neces sary papers with the Postmaster Cer.cral. Mr. Crimes preferred his own amendment to this Mr. Conness opposed the amendment. Mr Crime's""renewed his ofUrisbm? Mr. Sherman what wis the object Mr. Sherman thought tho bill sufficiently ex plained itself. Mr. Nye said these bills were of no use; there v.-no not an independent telegraph compile - in the coun try, and tho only object to be attained was for this National Telegraph Company to sell out its franchise to the existing monopoly. Mr. Brown said they could not sell without the consent of Congress. Mr. Nye said it would be as easy to obtain the con of'iho b''u nSreBS l ° SC " 12 '' Wa3 to obt:li " the Passage Mr. Sherman said the men whocontrolled this com pany were no men of straw, as the Senator from Nevada seemed to imagine. The gentleman who was at tho head of the enterprise was worth four million dollars. Mr. Sherman said it had become absolutely neces sary that competing lines should be established. Mr. Couness said the Senator from Nevada talked like he was in favor of monopolies, and if tho tele graph monopoly wished an argument in its favor, it could not have been suited better. Mr. Sherman said this company could not sell out without the consent of Congress. Mr. Nye—Oh 1 nonsense. Tell me what cannot ho done by consent of Congress, and 1 will show you a white blackbird. [Laughter.] Mr. Stewart advocated competition as the only remedy for tho present high charges, though not fa voring the bill. Mr. Howard opposed the bill. The discussion was further continued by Messrs. Williams, Sherman and Doolittle. Tho question was then taken on tho amendment of v]r. Crimes; which was agreed to. Mr. Sherman proposed a number of amendments; which were agreed to. Mr. Howard moved to strike out the words "pre empt and" iu the 19th line of the first section; which was disagreed to. Mr. Hendricks moved to strike out the provision allowing tho companies to pre-empt one quarter sec tion of land for each station. Mr. liendrieks said this was clearly for the purpose of speculation. A railroad company needed land, but a telegraph com pany did not. Mr Conness moved to insert 40 acres where one quarter section occurs, which was accepted by Mr. liendrieks in lieu of his amendment. The amend ment was agreed to. Mr. Nyo moved to adjourn; which was decided in the negative. Mr. Hendricks then took tho floor and argued against the right ot Congress to authorize any cor poration to go into a State without the consent of that State. He would ask the Senator from Ohio what right had Congress to authorise a railroad cor poration of the State of Indiana to enter the State of Ohio without the consent of that State. Mr. Stewart asked if steamboats and stage coaches had not always gone from one State into another. Mr. Hendricks said that, so far as ho was advised, nothing of tho kind had ever been done without the consent of the State whose territory was entered This whole thing was simply providing for a species of speculation heretofore unequalled. Mr. Wilson moved to postpone the further con sideration of the bill, until the first Monday in De cember: which was disagreed to. Mr. Morgan offered a substitute for the second section; which was lost by yeas 17, nays 19. The bill having been reported to tbe Senate, Mr. Nye renewed the amendment offered by Mr. Morgan; which was disagreed to by yeas 17, nays 15.

INVALIU PENSIONS. The House then rosumed the consideration of the unfinished business of last Friday's morning hour the pending motion being to recommit the adverse report of the Committee on Invalid Pensions on the granting pensions to the soldiers of the war of Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, moved to amend the motion by untrue ting the committee to provide in tho bill for incieasing the pension granted in all cases of total disability, from §8 to $lO per month The amendment was rejected. The bill was then recommitted to the Committeo on Invalid Pensious—yeas 101; nays 10. THE TARIFF. Tho Hi use then considered private bills, after which it went into Committee of the Whole on tho tariff bill. On motion of Mr. Rice, of Massachusetts, an amend mendment was adopted to the second section, pro viding for a duty on endless belts or felts for paper or printing machines of 20cents per pound and 35 per cent, ad valurem. Pending a vote on tho dutiable articles of brown aud bleached linen, damask table linen, coatings, crash, elc., and an amendment proposed by Mr. Dodge, of New York, to sliike out crash— Mr. Wilson, of lowa, hope t the amendment would be adopted, lie said the duty on this article here proposed increas d the rate from the i>res6nt tariff of ono to two hundred per cent, lie declared that what was really needed to protect the interests of Ameri can manufacturers was stability in the revenue laws, and not these constant changes, lie announced him self as opposed to these largely increased duties. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, said he had sup posed thai th* time had arrived when wo could agree to build up home markets for home consumption, and cease to live on lorcign labor, lie had lived Ions: enough on this pauper labor, and he was surprised to hear the gentleman from lowa(Mr, Wilson)advocate a reduction of duties. He (Mr. S.) hoped wo would soon reach tho time when wo should soo through tho valley of the Mis sissippi those great manulacturing cities which would not only consume our own products, but send them abroad in a manufactured shape to the young nations of the earth. He did not intend to say anything on this general subject, but he could not hear the anti quated doctrine of the gentleman from lowa with out saying something. Mr. Wilson said the Committee on Ways and Means had reduced by the late tax bill the Internal Revenue seventy-five millions of dollars per year and in the face of this he protested to this increase of the duties on imports from one to two hundred per cent. Ho regarded the docirines of the gentle manfromPennsylvama (Mr. Stevens) as antiquated lhe amendment to strike out eraeh from tho duty ot six per cent, per square y„rd, and thirty-five per cent, ad valorem, was agreed to. The iron duty clause hoing under consideration, Mr. Uundy, of Ohio, moved to increase the duty on pig-iron troin nine to ten dollars per ton; which was agreed to. Pending the vote, Mr. Bundy said that the blast iurpaces in Ohio had lost money for several yoars under tho old tariff, They needed mora protection, Mr. Le Blond, o .nio thought it very strange that these furnaces should continue to do business while they were losing money, lie was in favor of a tariff rr revenue and not for protection, end he believed that the people did not desire protection. •"Jr. Hale, of New York, said that ninety-nine out ot every hundred men in his district were in favor of protection. , .JJ'ithout making any further amendments to the hill, and pending tho disposition of the irori clause, the committee rose, and at 4.30 P. M. tho Douse adjourn ed. CITY NEWS.

LOST CHILDREN. —Those who arc in the habit of visiting the various station houses of the city oflcn ocrne in contact with some lost little ones, who, hav ing strayed away from home and not being observing euou'--h, are unable to retrace their steps; conse quently they are brought to the station house to await the arrival of some one from home. It does net seem to be generally understood by parents, that the station houses are tho proper placc-a to ap ply for their lost children; consequently they aro kept for hours, sometimes nearly a whole day, before they ate called for. Children who are lost, and not able to tell where their parents live, are almost in variably taken to the nearest station houso by some ono acquainted with their condition, and if parents would apply at once, and thcro, they might have their loved ones restored to them in a very short time, instead of wearying out hours of anxiety for their return. A valuable adjunct to this mode of restoring lost children, is tho Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph, thn oflieeof which is in the same building as that of the Marshal, on llolliday street, where ap plication can be made. Parents should bear this in mind, and when a child is lost, apply at once at the nearest station house, or tho office of the Fire Alarm aud Police Telegraph, and thus have it quickly restored. TUB EXTENSION OF WATER MAINS. —An ordinance was introduced into the City Council sometime sinco to authorize the Water Board to capitalize the sum ol $150,000 for the extension of water mains and other purposes. It passed the First Branch, and being presented in the Second, an amendment was offered pending which the ordinance was laid on the table Yesterday it was called up again by Mr. Moore, and after tho adoption of the proposed amendment, it pas.-.cd the Second Branch.

Index of the 16th instant takes a cheerful view of the prospects of the fall crop of cotton: v>ince tho incoming of the beautiful warm weather ?i • i wce * or two, farmers are beKinning to tbmkthe prospect does not threaten so badly after all. 1 heir greatest fear is tho frccduicn will not stand a little extra labor to destroy the grass that is covering everything as ]a mantle of sleep.' Twenty days lost in inactivity is a serious matter with the cropping interest, and negroes with their new idea of things are an uncertain staff to lean on for an emer gency. Get over this Rubicon and tho general opinion is, a three-fourths crop will be realized. Tho warm weather has done much in drying up the lands, and thick as tho grass is, steady labor even for a. short period will greatly redeem tho bad looking prospect."

The whole matter is to be brought before the grand jury 01 Middlesex county; but it is only fair to add that the school oommittee have exonerated the teachers in the full est manner possible. Perhaps the fact that the oul prU was a pretty girl of sixteen is at tho bottom of the indignation.
