Arrest Of Prominent Citizens-Nuevitas Re.
inforced-Arrival of Troops from Spain
Revolutionists Confident OF Success-No
Quarter Given or Taken by Spanish Troops
An Insurrecti0nary Expedition Fitting Out
at Nassau.
HAVANA, Dec. Is, 1858.
The government is actively engaged In searching for
political offenders and many arrests have been made
in this city and in the interior Some OF the parties
arrested are well known in the community.
Count valmaseda came to Havana on Sunday last
from Nuevitas to confer with the Captain General.
He returned to Nuevitas yesterday with reinforce
ments Additional troops will be forwarded to him.
Two battalions left Havana yesterday for the ipr
terror.
The steamer Espafia has arrived with the first re-
Inducements from Spain. Two steam transports
with 1000 troops are expected to arrive tomorrow.
A battalion OF volunteers reached Holguin on the
9Th inst and raised the siege Of the hospital there
The insurrectionists withdrew from the town.
which is now entirely In the hands Of the govern
ment.
1t is expected that Count vamaseda will march
Immediately from Nuevitas and make an attack
upon Bayamo the stronghold OF the revoluttonists.
Various and conflicting rumors are in circulation
in regard to the late military operations in the in
terror Cubans here say the government troops
have suffered defeat but their assertions are not
confirmed by the reports from the seat Of war.
A correspondent at Bayamo reports that the char
acter of the war is changing. The Spanish troops
are dlsgusted with the lenient and generous policy
OF the government in pardonng rebels, and refuse to
give or receive quarter The revolutionsts are con-
fdent expecting disturbances In Spain which will
prevent the sending out Of reinforcements to the
island. At the same time the planters are more
anxious to secure their sugar crops than to fight,
and are generally sympathizers with the revolution.
Parties in Havana who advocate the cause Of rev0-
luton claim that the insurgents are receiving sup
plies OF arms and even reinforcements from the
United States.
1t Is believed that an expedition in aid OF the
insurrection here Is organizing In Nassau. The gov
ernment has taken steps to prevent it from reaching
the shores OF Cuba.
The report Of the death OF Figueredo Is untrue.
The Dtarto reports that since the defeat Of the
rebels Moron that parish has been perfectly tran
quill 1t states that among the rebel officers killed in
that battle were two persons represented to have
been colonels In the Mexican Army.

tefday, from Lee county, INFORMS us
that the people Of that section were
thrown into great pane and paralysis
a few mornings ago, by the wonderful
spectacle Of three suns rising at the same
time. The central orb was encircied by
a beautiful rainbow, and surmountcd BY
the fragment of another iris which ex-
tended on either hand above the attend
ant suns. The two surplus suns were
of course but reflections Of the bona fde
sun on the clouds. and after a brief space
these suddenly dissolved and vanished,
leaving the real Sol solus. The specta.
Gle is said to have been sublime and
splendid beyond description, and inspir-
ed admiration even in the breasts of
those who regarded it as as the awful
portcnt Of awful supernatural develop
ments. .-LymchJurg Republican.
A BoLp OuTRAeE.--Somc eight
freedmen, near Gadsden, on Friday
last, boldly took possession of q wag-
on and four mules, and two mules,
with two bales Of cotton belonging to
Mr.. Moscly, and took the property
forcibly away. Five Of the freedmen
were arrested by the police, and
warrant was issued yesterday morning,
for the arrest Of all Che parties, by
Magistrate johnson. The vigilance of
Mr.. Radcliffe, Chief of Police, caused
the arrest Of two others Of the gang of
robbers, in this city, yesterday, aud
the remaining one of the party will
probably be captured. This is one Of
the boldest and most fragrant outragcs
yet pcrpetrated in this District.
