Mr.. VNToN AS A PUBLIC MAN
We are a little surprised to notice
that some of our Wing contempora-
ries deem it worth while to defend
the public acts Of the Wing candidate
for Governor, from the anticipated
attacks Of our political opponents.
This work is altogether superrogato-
ry. Mr.. Vinton's public acts in
general way, need no justification
now; for they were so commended,
by strict propriety in their own time,
that nobody pretended to call them
in question. We take il for granted,
that the electors Of our Stats so well
know and estimate the private
character and public course of the
Hon. Samuel F. Vinton, that no man
who possesses a grain Of self-respect
will attack the one or the other.
Those very qualities constituted the
grounds upon which the nomination
was nade--unanimously made, with
out the knowledge or solicitation OF
the nominee.-Sci. Goz.

be observed by every gentleman who
once directs his attention to the sub

The telegraph dispsiches and th'
more lengthy details given in the Eas
tern papers confirm, to a considerable
degree, the first report we had of a rev
o'ution in Cuba, and, for the time, th'
success of the revolutionists. The De
elaration of Independence is publishes
at length, signed by three Influential
SPaniards, and is well written and very
patriotic. This was proclaimed on the
4th OF July.
On the Sd of July the first action tool
place.
The government troops, previously
sent out to make prisoners Of any revo-
lutionists. came up with the guerrilla
party of Joaquin Aguero y Aguero. al
the foot ofthe Coscorra mountains. and
about four or FIVE miles from The village
by that name. The Cubans numbered
eco men and the Spaniards 800 men,
consisting of 100 laneers and 200 infan.
try. AEer a sharp engagement, the
Spaniards fed, their captain being killed
and twenty others, together with eighteen
wounded. The Cubans had only two ol
three wounded and none killed. Twelve
ofthe Spanish soldiers came over to the
Cuban side. This battle inspired very
great confidence among the people, anc
Immediately the number of insurgents
increased rapidly. At the last accounts
their numbers were known to be as high
as one thousand men. These were di.
-vided up into five guerrilla parties o.

Although the garrison at Principe
numbered 1000 troops, the commander
was afraid to march out, so he sent tc
Havana for 1000 more.
Several engagements took place in
the mountains after the 4fh, with more
or less important results, and on the
18th a battle was fought which lasted foI
l2 hours, the Patriots coming off victorS
In another engagement government
troops were attacked while crossing a
river near Puerto Principe, in which
some 800 of the latter were slaughtered,
and the Brigadier General with nine 9TH
er officers taken prisoners.
The steamer Isabel brought over a
Spanish paper which represented all
these matters as trifling, and where rem
contres had taken place that the govern
ment forces had been successful. A
passenger assured the New York Sun
that it was false. 1t was printed by or
der of the Government to deceive the
people of the United States.
This will all do TO talk about, and
sharpen the appetite to look anxiously
for more, which we shall soon have.

Another battle has been fought be-

near the town OF Cotuy, on the 18th
inst, which proved very disastrous
10 the Emperor's troops, OF whom
about 900 were slain out OF a force
Of 2.7O0 men. An immense quaint
ty Of arms and ammunition fell into
The hands OF the yictors, besides 246
prisoners, among whom are a neph-
ew Of the Emperor and nine officers
Of some distinction. The routed
army took shelter in the fortified
town of San Juan, whose walls pro-
tected what valor proved inadequate
to defend. The victors retired in
excellent order on the southern bank
Of the Yuma river, ready al all times
TO act only on the defensive, and
Tepulse their invaders.
