ON THE REPORTED REVOLT m cUB..


THE roRK sUs OF FRIDAY
The New Orleans papers received by yesterday ousherr
mail contain letters from Havana, received by the Cherokee
which represent the insuecon in Cuba in more formds
BILE light than represented in the
published by city contemporaries and ourselves on the
arrival of the Georgia The New Orleans papers also re-
ceved the Cherokee the Address of the Lberang Society
of Principe, which have TO believe was an
exaggerated statement Of the and strength of the
patriots AT any rate, have bealsn the
patriots in the neghbohood of Principe which that docu-
ment did not lead to anticipate.
BY arrival at this port from Nusvas we have dates
from that place the I'd instant and the very
unavoabe the Of the revolution in that quarter.
The Government had concentrated three thousand troops
the department. and divided them up into columns Of eight
hundred each for the purpose of securing the whole country
around Principe and driving the revoes from their positions
They had succeeded defeating and scattering the band led
by Don Joaquin Aguero Agueo, and the capturing Aguero
and number Of his party few of the party escaped sue
ceeded in reaching the shore, and embarked for the Uni
ted States. Two of the party who made the first pronun
ciamiento at Principe have arrived this port. They were
Of Agueros party and were with him when defeated by the
troops
They state that they fear that the immense military force
sent the central department has succeeded in exermnag
the patriot bands The Government authorities had
ceeded by inducing the mothers Of the revoes go and
entrsat their lay down their and accept Of the
poeed PARDON in weakening the strength Of the patriots
Many yielded the entreates Of their mothers, and this
served to dspt Others We need not conceal fears
that the Government has umphed for the present at Prn
cpe Other parts Of the Island however, represented to
be making pronunciamenos and organizing guerrilla bands
though with what success remains to be seen.

A PLEASING INCIDENT.

Whilst the PRESIDENT was holding levee at
the Taylor Hotel, the evening of his arrival at
Winchester, (Va.) among the numerous ladies and
gentlemen who FASTENED to pay him their respects,
there was an old man whose head was white with
the SHOWS Of age, but whose form was still erect,
and whose eye still wore the brightness of earlier
days. Advancing to the President, and taking him
by the hand, he said: Sir, | am one of the old
soldiers of 1912. Whenever my country is in
danger am ready to serve it again." The Pre-.
sIDENT, greeting him pleasantly, replied: "I am
always happy sir to meet the old soldiers OF 1872
and know that can depend upon them in the
hour of need.''
It may safely be asserted that no one who has
borne arms in defence Of the Union entertans for a
moment the mad scheme of its dissolution. Archi-
tects Of the glorious structure, they know the cost
at which it was reared, and their downright unwil-
ngness to hear of its destruction may well be
ceived; more particularly when the danger is not
from bombardment without but from those who
threaten to hold the brand the magazine with
in-Winchester TirginiGn.
