Yesterday was gala day among our Ger
man friends. Early in the morning the diff
orent German societie., conaisting Of the
Harugari, Shooting Association, Benevolent
Association, Swiss Club and Turn Versin,
preceded by the band Of the 10th Regulars
marched through the principal streets Of the

honor of the occasion.
About two o'clock in the evening the flag
presentation took place, before the largest
audience Of the German population ever as
sembled in the city.
After the different societies had taken
their position on the platform prepared for
the occasion, Miss. CARRIE ScuLDHELNI,

sentation Of the splendid flag to the Turn
Nerein Society, made her appearance with

token Of their esteem and friendship, this

ment 10 the city and to the State, robust and
strong like the oak, bidding defiance to every
storm. The ether side represents the colors
of our fatherland which now is again bent
down andImenaced by the fury Of war. May
they be a symbol for you to continue
on the way Of progress; may they
always speak for right and liberty, so that
our adopted country may become a secure
ASYLUM for those Of our countrymen whom
an unhappy fate will expel from our dearly
beloved native country. With the best

BALTIMORE, July 9.-The Sun publishes
an account of rumored revolt in Cuba,
brought by the Captain of a steamer which
arrived from Havana on the l4th. The re-
volt is said to have occurred at Porte PriB-
ciple, news Of which caused intense excite
ment in Havana.
The authorities at Havana paid no atten-
ton to the rumOrs of the revolt until news
came that portion of the population had
declared for the independence of Cuba, and
a separation from the Spanish Government.
On the LIST inst. a military force, consisting
of five companies stationed at Porte Princi-
pc, was sent against the insurgents to bring
them to order. A fight ensued, in which the
Colonel was killed and two other officers
mortally wounded while three companies
Of the Spanish soldiers went over to the in
surgents. The latter thus reinforced, and
numbering now 700, were proceeding to the
mountain region. saAf s--aH
The moment this news was known in Ha-
vana three steamers were dispatched with
troops to the scene of revolt, but before they
were fairly on their way, which was on the
Sd, the stirring intelligence arrived that four
steamers, with two thousand troops on board,
made their appearance before Nuevitto,
bearing the Gillian flag, and effected a land
ing in the vicinity. All the discontinued
thereupon proceeded to the place of rendez-
vous, and it was believed the revolt has its
qualifications throughout the whole island.
Among those who left Porte Principe
were about one thousand negroes, who, it is
asserted, were armed by their owners to join
the insurgents @
The whole affair was looked upon as
great resolution of the natives to free them
selves from the Spanish rule.

"a HORRIBLE AocmENT-A LITTLE GRE
CrrM Two by THE CARs.-A sad and dis
tressing accident occurred yesterday evening,
near the Edgefeld Engine house, as the
regular Nashville and Louisville mail train
was coming in. A little white girl named
CONNER, some 1--WE years Of age, and three
or four negro children we're playing near the
track when they observed the approach of
the train and started TO run across the read.
The latter did cross, but the little girl
seemingly became parslized and sat down
on the rails and was cut in two. The en-
gineer reversed his engine and blew on the
brakes, but twas too late as the train was
within a few PAGES of the unfortunate child.
After the train was checked the passen-
gers returned and removed the bloody
corpse from the road. Its mother, uncon-
scious of what had occurred, came up in a
few minutes in search Of her missing child
when the crowd gave way and revealed 70
her themangled remains ofone so deartoh her
her anguish and grief was what might have
been expected Of an ahectionate mother.
Near the same place some two years ago,
the fatherof the child was killed by thecsFs,
We are informed by passengers on the
train, that the engineer and officers Of the
train are not to be censured for the accident
that they did all they could to prevent it,

Letters from the United States Exam
ined by the AuthOrities-The With
draWaI of the FreneIl-ITeaCy Tax on
Merchandise at Vera Cruz.
WASHINGTON, July g.-The Idea Liberal
of Puebla. of June 9th, shows that letters
from the United States are required to be
opened and read at the postoffice by the
person to whom they are addressed, in the
presence of MAXDuLIAN's agents, who af-
forwards examine them. Matters considered
Objectionable are sent to the Imperial Com
missioner, who submits them TO the court
martial for such decision as may be thought
proper.
Letters here from Vera Cruz, under date
ofl5th June, from a well informed CONNER
cial person, stateas follows: There are many
here who believe that the French troops
will not be withdrawn as announced, for the
reason that General BAzAINE, who is pro-
tecting certain commercial houses, who are
importing goods in his name without pay
ment Of duties, he being interested therein,
is using all his influence to delay the depar-
ture Of the troops. 1t appears certain, how
ever that arrangements have been made
with the transatlantic company for the
transport of the ferces, and that the first
steamer for that purpose is shortly ex-
pected.
The late measures Of the Imperial Court
are extremely severe upon the commerce Of
this port The latest tax is in the shape OF
q license, which obligates each commercial
house to pay from 81 900 to $4,000 per an
nun for the privilege of doing business,
