CUBA.

The following, from the Charleston Courier OF the
29th utimo, embodes the latest intelligence wehaVs
from Cuba: .e zkaL
1--WE, yesterday had two arrivals at this port from
Havana-the briggs Somers and Argus. AS far as
learn there has been but little intelligence
made known in Havana since the departure OF the
Isabel. relative to the existing difficulties in the IS
land, which can be relied upon. RumoIs are curren'
that fresh deserions of troops taking place. anu
that out of 400 men recently sent from Havana, 2UO
went over to the Creole party, and fred their COM
rades. The real state of affairs is difficult to be as
certained. We have NOT, however, heard OF any new
proclamation emanating from the Captain Genera,
and therefore conclude that his antcipaons oil ihTs
in arms accepting an amensity, had not, up 10 'n'
24th inst, at all events, been realized"
The next steamer due at New York from Havana
is the Georgia, which to leave Chagres %

the 3Ist. We may, however, have important news
by way of Charleston or Savannah, in few Gays

mountains he surrendered himself and was
imprisoned at Havana. He was afterwards
sent for by the Governor General, who gave
him money, FIR his expenses, a suit Of clothes,

He estimated the number of Spaniards killed

wounded as mu eh'lsfger. Out of forty per

Hog Trade.

The s.. Louis Intelligcnesr, Of the Cd
instant says,
''Messrs. ]. J.. Bate d Co., Of this city
purchased on Tuesday last 1900 head. to
be delivered on OF before the first of Decem
Der, at price equal 10 $3.50 net. The hogs
will be driven from Illinois, and are without
specific weight. but itis thought when ready
for slaughter, will go 200 Tbs. and over.
This is the first contract, the particulars of
which has reached US this season. We
learn that other engagements have been
made for early delivery, but the number or
price is yet unknown. We believe it is
generally admitted that No. / hogs cannot
be had at the present stage of the market
under 81, so, a price at which the majority
of packers and dealers are holding back.
The season is now near at hand, and before
the close Of the present month the heaviest
contracts for delivery viii have been made"
The following extract of a letter from a
highly intelligent and reliable source in
Cincinnati, will be found interesting at this
time:
"From all tie information we can gain
in relation to the quality and quantity Of
hogs in this section Of country and through.
out the Great West, there appears to be but
one opinion, viz: That the number will be
equal to last season, and the quality fal
better, also hat the price at which farmers
and drovefs anticipate our market will open
at, to be dangerous and unsafe. Therefore,
we look upon the business in the prospec.
tive as disastrous to all who hold for high
prices.
Hogs have been sold in our market al
41a43c. All of the hogs thus far contract.
ed for, are TO be cut and cured into bacon
for the New Orleans market. Consequent
", we look for a decline in that city, soor
after the first arrivals, caused by the heavy
shipments. In fact, hogs are too high, anc
we think the price will not be sustained
The Chicago, Illinois, Tribune, in speak
ing of hogs and the prospects of the season
prices, &c, says:
"Thus far we have not been able to learr
of any transactions In hogs for immediate
shipment or packing, though there has beer
considerable figuring among u operators
without succeeding, however, in meeting the
views of sellers. Offers of $4a4, so, as il
size, for early delivery, are very freel!

uox. uihazv and his Colony.

We learn that here is SOM dissatisfaction
among the Hungarian emigrants as to the
place selected by Gov. Ujhazy for the Local
ton of the Hungarian colony. Many of
them consider it too remote from the settled
part of Iowa, and as possessing 100 few ia
%cilities for communication with the world.
1t is at least $50 miles from the Mississippi
river, and in an entirely new and unsettled
country: Though in a fertile and beautiful
region they would prefer some place more
accessible and convenient to market. The
Hungarians lately arrived here, with a por-
ton of those now with Gov. UjhaZy, are
anxious that he should change the location
Of the'colo y to SOME point nearer the Mis-
s%issippi, where a situation quite as eligible
may be procured at a small expense, and
where the Governor and those who are anx-
ious to join him, will be more accessible to
friends who may be DESTROYS of visiting them,
and of rendering the exlles any assistance
in their power which their situation may
require.
Accounts from the colony represent the
Governor as living the life Of a true philos-
opher. Far from the l~uxuries and refine
ments to which he has long been accustom-
ed, he passes his time in the back woods,
remote from the noise and strife of court
and camps, as an independent Iowa farmer,
dividing his time between his fields and
crops out of doors, and study and reflection
within. diversified as occasion offers, with
such hunting and fishing as the forests of
Grand river and its quiet waters afford.
We are informed that Gov. Ujhazy was
advised to make the selection he did by
friends in the East, under u belief that Com
gress would make a donation to the colony
Of the lands on which they might settle
and that it was of consequence that their
settlement should be made on unappropria-
ted lands. How far he was influenced in
his choice by the advice and these represen-
~tationS, we are unable to say, we should
think, however, that Congress would grant
them the land on which they settled, where
ever it may be. We do not know any prop
~osition which would be more likely to meet
with universal favor from the American
people than that of setting apart a portion OF
our public domain for the use and benefit
of those who, having failed to secure to their
own country the blessings of freedom, have
sought an asylum on our shores, where they
might be out of the reach Of Austrian OPP
pression. Our country has it in her power
to exhibit the contrast between a despotic
and a republican government, in its method
of treating strangers. Austria imprisons
Mr.. Brace, an American citizen, travelling in
Hungary, through motives of health and
curiosity, for speaking of Ujhazy and his
colony. Tile United States receive the
Hungarians with open arms and fraternal
sympathy, and welcome them to a refuge
and a home, and to a participation in all the
rights which our constitution and laws con
