It is stated that the Dictator of Paraguay has raised

an army -of 4,000 women, with " Brigadier-General Eliza Lynch,"—an Eng- lishwoman and Queen of Paraguay,—at their head. The Brazil- ians, of course, accuse Lopez of collecting these women by force, but it is much more probable that they are volunteers incited by the example of their brigadier, and confident that they can at least use the musket behind entrenchments.. We think Spanish women heroines for defending their cities, but then the Maid of Saragossa did not lower the price of Brazilian Stock. Lord Stanley is again advised to mediate, in the interests of civilization and of the last Slave Empire, which will, if the war goes on, perish as it deserves.
