BALTIMORE. July o-The Ssn publishes an ac-
count Of a rumored revolt in Cuba, brought by the
Captain az a steamer which sailed from Havana on
the 4tb inst. The revolt is said TO have occurred az
Puerto Principe. but the authorities al Havana psrd

a portion Of the population had declared for the isae-

but before they were fairly on their way, which was

Neqro Mortality,
The Mississippi nder thus refers to
ia. X1o ro&r1oa.

The Mississippi Inder thus refers to
mortality among the negroes
One of the signs of the times is the
mortality which prevails among the
freedmen whenever cold weather sets in.
While the summers sun shines, and the
Ethiopian hide can find comfort on the
ground, or be cozy along the outside OF
a hard plank-like lazy reptiles basking
on log and leaf-freedom seems an en-
durable thing, and the negro gets along
moderately well with a full stomach.
But cold weather requires providing; it
needs house rent, and more wood to burn
than summer does; clothing is an indis-
pensable, and the beauties of emancipa-
ton, in the want of these, do not show
in such attractive colorirg With less
forethought than bees and ants, the negro
is an extravagant consumer, and the
semblance of winter comforts deceives
him till death too often kno; at his
door, and he goes to give account to a
more merciful master than emancipation
has been.
Negro funerals are common events
nova. days, and ones disgust at their
imprudent habits is almost lost in the
contemplation of that unwise act which
places him in harder servitude than be-
fore, and acquaints him with sufferings
that he thought not in existence. We
learn of families that, unable to pay
heuse rent seek the protection of cellars
against the blasts of winter. Three fune-
rails we're preached for dead negroes in
one day last week--an event that was
wonderful among that hardy race as
slaves. The beauties of sudden emanci-
patton how express them except in
yagrancy, in want, in death Shall time
show the twenty.fold multiplication of
benevolent societies, or the almost entire
extinction of the freedman?

Federal Dead near Richmond.

The Richmond Enquirer of the 7th
inst. saws: The Federal dead buried
during the war at Belle Isle, Hollywood
and Oakwood are being disinterred and
removed to a cemetery especially set
apart for the purpose.
A few days since we visited Oakwood
Cemetery, on the eastern slope of which
a group of freedmen were leisurely plying
pick and spade, beguiing the time with
the lest and boisterous laughter peculiar
to the race. The graves were deep, and
it is fact worthy of note that we could
not learn from the working party that
single cofinless grave had been discov.
cred among the hundreds which they had
opened.
The cofins, when uncovered, were
raised to the surface Of the ground by
means Of hooks, and the tops removed.
Some of the coffins are comparatively In
a state of good preservation, while others
are greatly decayed; and the same re-
mark is applicable to the remains within
them. In one coffin which we saw
opened, lay the perfect skeleton of a
powerfully framed man, wrapped in a
Dlanket WllCn WAS uub iItio ucO" W.
The hair Of the head was almost perfect,
and the red whiskers still clung to the
chin; but in other instances the only
relics of humanity left were few black,
decaying bones. The remains are placed
in new boxes and hauled to the Federal
cemetery, and the dsinterred collins piled
up and burned. :,
We saw no white men connected with
the work of disinterment or any means
employed for preserving the identity OF
the remains. The cemetery to which
they are removed is located between the
williamsburg and Charles City roads,
short distance beyond the Williamsburg
toll gate, and contains, according to
rough estimate, some four hundred
graves, arranged in parallel rows.
At the head of each grave is a wooden
slab painted white and bearing the name
of the soldier supposed to repose be-
meath it, although we think but little
dependence is to be placed in the accu-
racy of work so loosely performed.
The majority of the names are for
eign and recorded as belonging to North
western regiments.

A Few Thoughts Worthy of Consideration.

In speaking of the probable results of
an effort to dispose of the President, the
Albany Evening Journal. one Of the old
est, ablest and influential Republican pa
pers, throws out number Of points which
we advise those who are so rampant on
the impeachment question to read.
There is beginning and end to almost
everything, but there is no telling where
the end would be should the next Con-
gress attempt to impeach Andrew John
son. Read the following from the Jour
nal:
If an impeachment was ordered, it
would not merely be the trial of Andrew
johnson, but the arraignment of party
which represents a very great and ex-
ceedngly active minority Ia large ma
jority, counting the South I'M of the
American people. That party accepts
the President as its leader and exponent
1t sustains his policy with energy and
determination. 1t defends, upon what
it calls constitutional grounds, the very
acts which are relied upon TO justify the
process of arraignment 1t says that
any attempt to withdraw this power from
the Executive would, in itself, be usur-
nation. We cannot doubt that ifarticles
of Impeachment we're to be prepared, the
democracy would consider itself as hav
ing been placed at the bar-would repu-
diate the Judgment as the illumination of
one party against the other, and would
stand ready 10 uphold the President in
a refusal to submit, though that refusal
should result in civil war, as would be
most likely in the excited state of the
mind.
Let US imagine the condition of at
s,,jrs: A chief magistrate condemned
IVA ecurt whose jurisdiction is denied
Al the outset BY several millions et Amer
ican citizens; be refuses to oSey the
process; but he persiste in the exercise
of the prerogative. Congress, then, rep
resenting the government, undertakes to
oust him; but he summons 70 his aid
what military he can command, and pre-
mares TO test the question Of force.
Meanwhile, the violence aud turbulence
enrepdered at the national capital ex-
tends through every section Of coun-
trv not vet fully recovered from the de-
liS;um Of war. Pa-ties are developed in
every town, city or hamlet, holding ex-
eitedlv the most pronounced opinions on
one side or other, and ready TO fight for
those opinions. A spark might at any

The Impeachment Question How it Stands

Mack" writes from Washington to
the Cincinnati Commercial as follows :;
In a conversation with friend the
other day, Thad Stevens expressed his
opinion that the President ought Ger.
tainly to be impeached; that be could
name twenty offenses he had committed,
any one of which was sufficient to justi~
fy his displacement, and that he thought
the country owed to itself and its own
dignity as nation, to resort to that ex-
pedient for getting rid of man who had
proved himself wicked, incompetent,
treacherous, and said he, " a id fool
into the bargain" Why" said Thad.,
"Tll take that man record, his speeches
and his acts, before any impartial jury
you can get together, and I'll make them
pronounce him either knave or fool,
without Che least trouble" "
He continued my own impression
is that we had better put it on the ground
of insanity, or whiskey, or some
thing of that kind. l don't want
to hurt the mans feelings by tell
ing him he is a rascal. I'd rather put
it timidly and say he hasn't got off that
Inauguration drunk yet; and just let
him retire to get sobered off. Finally,
Thad. was asked what would be done
about it. He replied that he couldn't
tell exactly yet He knew he could carry
the House on the subject, majority
only being required, but he was in doubt
about the Senate, and there would be no
movement made in that direction until
the Senate could be counted on. This,
after all, may be said to be the precise
status of the impeachment question:
question which looks more serious to day
than it has looked at any time yet and
which, think, will be pressed much too
far for the general veal before the close
of the session.
/ did not think so a weak ago. Re-
peated conversations on the subject have
changed my opinion, and lead me to this
conclusion: That Andrew johnson
would be turned out of his office before
the lst of January if it were not for the
restraining influence which capitalists
naturally exert over such matter. Capt.
tai is timid and conservative always and
never more so than just now, when it is
feared, and rightly too, that to impeach
Johnson would be to shake the confidence
of money kings abroad in the stability
of the government, and TO impair the
value Of American securities on both
sides of the Atlantic. If there were no
five.twenties there would be no Andrew
johnson at the White House three
months hence. That's certain; and if
A. j. don't believe it he is not posted

ADDITIONAL RIVER NEWS.

~CIECINNATI, July 1.-THE river has fallen
3 inches. Weather clear. Thermometer 92o
After our early river report was made
up, a heavy rain passed to the East and
North, small portion of it falling here,
and the indications were that more rain
would fall during the night. The rain was
accompanied by heavy lightning and
thunder and seemed to cool the air to
some extent still it was extremely warm
up to dark.........We clip the following from
the Louisville Democrat of Saturday. We
wrote the item and published it in the
JOURNAL of the 18th. The Democrat dis
plays good taste in copying from the JOUR-
NAL, and would manifest common honesty
by giving the proper credit.
The weather is growing hotter and hot
ter, being ninety degrees in the shade at
noon yesterday. 1t was clear and very
calm. The river is falling slowly, and slim
prospects of rise. Boats have now to
hunt the deepest water to get along COM
bly.-COIs1'Ger, 18th.

The j. r. Hoyle has quit the Madison
trade and laid up at Jacksonville, on ac-
count of general row among the owners
and crew. Wesuppose the matter will be
settled shortly, and the Hoyle resume her
place in the trade again.
Why not confess frankly, Will, that the
boat is too big for Louisville and
