Tesegraphic intelIigenoe.

variety of intelligence received az this office, last
evening by telegraph, for the particulars of which
we refer our readers to the dispatches. we lsarn
that the Rev Mr.. Hodge and Mr.. Lockwood have
had an nteryiew with Mr.. Fillmore on the case OF
Clemens. who was convicted, with Doug lass and
Benson. OF be murder Of Mr.. Hayens, second mate
Of the bark Glenn. From all that We have hoard,
we are disposed 10 believe that Clements is proper
subject for Executive Gle mency, and certain
that his reurieve by the President would be az
ssptable to the community. We have already
given our ews IN the subject, and again express
our hope hat Clements may not be executed.
Suhiseu- has been developed by the testimony on
the trial, and by the dying declarations Of both
Douglass and Benson, to throw doubt On
Clements guilt, which should be given in his favor.
The Late News fro m Cuba-Tbe Progress and
Prospects of the insurrectiO".
The " ever faithful island of Cuba" Is in s,ate
efre oft. Contradictory as our lase adv ,es APP
pear, they are, taken altose ther, sufficiently eohe
aud consistent to justify this conclusion-that
m resurrection has broken out in Cuba, and Is
teulHpg itself over the island. In addition to the
eehs7ency Of the general reports, the letters of
OEA Havana rrespondents-discreet and ia,elh-
gent obFerycrs-go far 20 sustain the creibil;y Of
tho most gloTipg statements, which would other
wise appear to be highly exaggerated ani over
drawn. From our special telegraphc correspcl
dent at Washington, We have still further testimony
In support Of the presumption that Cuba is in the
niist of a formidable revolutionary movement. IL
appears that MIR. Webster is to be recalled from

from within our borders OF in our waters, under
our Tag designed to aid In overthrowing the s0ve-
reignty Of Spain in Cuba. The President is bound
~ execute tho laws and yet with the insurrection
in the island fairly under way, the ability Of the
government to prevent large accessons Of men and I
supplies from going from ahundre points along
the Calf may well be doubted.
The object Of this reyolu, ,ionIry enterprise Is
boldly proclaimed 20 the world, in a manifesto de-
saratvo Of the independence aud separate and dis
lnct nationality Of Cuba. Another plausible con-
slusion, notwithstanding tho scsn;y, dijonted, AMI
