New York, Nov~7.-The, Herald's
Havanaspecial says: Thecxcitement
here is entirely allayed since the last
news from Spain. General Domingo
Dulce, our late Captain General IL or.
dered here with four transports and o
body of troops to keep order on the
Island. The Count Bolmozisla has
gone to Puerto Principe with q de.
tachment OF artillery.
According to the revolutionary au-
thOrities the entire jurisdiction OF Pu-
erto Principle has risen agaisnt the
government. They claim that the
rebels hold Santa Cruz, and that they
are firmly established at Bayano,
where they have set up q press to is
sue revolutionary publications. The
slaves are armed with machitz, and
fight desperately.
The Captain General Lersundi Is
determined to have the rebel leaders,
who hail from st. Damingo and the
Spanish Main, shot.
NEW York, Nov. IA Havana
letter of the 1st says the insurgents
have formed a Provisional Govern
ment, and hope soon to be recognized
by the United States. The principal
leaders are Aquillera; Cespedes, Arte-
rgases, and are very wealthy. Some
Americans are i'm the ranks. Aquiil-
era and Ccspedes have liberated the
slaves who Joined the army of insur-
gents. It was believed thatSPuerto
Principe, Villa Clara, Pinas Delro, and
other important places I'm the Central
and Western Department, would soon
join the cause with Eastern insur-
gents. q
NEW YORK, Nov. THE telegram
from Washington to the effect that
Secretary McC ulioch had decided that
he had the right to issue $4,000, 900
of legal tenders, making the maxi
mum circulation $500, OO0, 900 had a
magic influence on Wall street this
morning, and gloom and depression
gave way to cheerfulness and buoy
ancy. There was sharp rebound In
value from the extreme low prices of
yesterday, and great rush to buy.
Upon inquiry at the Sub-Treasury
we learned that Mr.. McCulloch had
written letter to Mr.. Van Dyck, in
which he regrets the money pressure,
but has no desire to interfere before
the spectators of Wall street; but In
the event OF the panic extending
outside, or the national credit suffer-
ing therefrOm, he would feel con-
strained to relieve matters by re-issu-
ingsone of the greenbacks Withdrawn
from circulation but not Cancelled.
MIR. VanDyck says If the specula-
tors expect him to run large balance
here to relieve them they will be dis
appointed. But If there is any run
on the Treasury with per cent certi-
ficates or marired compound notes,
then greenbacks would likely be re.
issued to a certain extent. The Sec
rotary further says i'm his letter that
he Will not sell any more gold or bonds
ut present. The announcement OF
these facts tend to restore confidence.
This put a different face on the mat
ter and shows that greenbacks are
only to be reissued in q certain emer-
gency. When this became known it
put damper on speculation for rise
and there was a general decline from
the highest point.
LISBON, Nov. Accounts have
just been received here announcing
the almost complete humiliation of
the Portuguese expedition In Mozam-
bique, South Africa. This expedition
which consisted of about six Hundred
soldiers, with artillery, &C., was sent
into the interior Of that country,
where 1t was attacked by the natives,
and nearly all the soldiers were killed,
and their artillery, small AIMS, and
ammunition captured. Barely sixty
escaped to the sea coast with their
lives. 1870
AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. 7.-Returns
increase the Democratic majority.-
From present indications it will reach
10000. ~
NASHVILLE, Nov. 9.-The Legisla-
ture convened to-day, but there will
hardly be quorum present Before
Wednesday or Thursday. =.
The Governors message, which il
a lengthy document, will not be read
before there is a quorum present.
He refers briefly to the suffrage
question, recommending the extern
sion of suffrage to that small class of
rebels who were involuntarilyd dragged
into the rebellion, and who have since
the war cheerfully supported the
Brownlow administration. For the
great body of rebels, those who affil-
late with the Democratic party and
cannot be induced to believe that the
State government is not tyrannical
and unjust, the governor breaths out
unlimited vengeance, going so fur as
to recommend that they should not
be enfranchised until the last cent of
the national debt be paid. The sub
stance of his remarks on the franchise
question amounts simply to this: that
those who are disposed to identify
themselves with the Radical party
ought to be enfranchised, while those
who are not should never haze the
ballot extended to them.
There is very little to be hoped from
the Legislature, as that body, as O
whole, has failed toexhibit any signs
Of liberality or magifanimity.
In connection with the message,
Brownlow has an article over his own
signature In the last numbtro of the
Knoxville Wing, addressed TO the
Legislature, bitterly opposing any
thing like magnanimity to the dis
franchised Masses, and Astounding I'M
the most malignant abuse of the ex-
rebels Of the State. 1t is surmised
that the extreme bitterness of tone
manifested by the Governor arises, in
part, from the heavy losses sustained
by his party in the recent election in
Tennessee and the gain of two Dent
Ocratic Congressman. He does not
fail to intimate II not state in words
that an adherence TO the Democratic
party Is proof positive of treason and
rebellion.
In his message, tho Governor re-
commends the sale of those railroads
