FROM HAVANA.

s HAVANA, Nov 14-The inhabitants of Puerto
Principe and vicinity united in address to the Cap
tain General of Cuba, Lersundi, regretting depreda-
tons of the reyolutoniss and offering their services to
quel the rebellion. The sgners of the address hope
for speedy peace and believe the intmation of the
reforms given by the mother country will soon bring
about the result The document is signed by the most
influential portions of the population and many native
Cuhans, among them Varona. The address is almost
certain to exercise great Influence throughout the
tire island as it is well known Puerto Principe has
been always considered the stronghold Of Republican
Cubans. -.-=T~s -
The Captain General denounces the statement pub
sed in certain New ork journals of his having pro-
hibited the American Consul sending dispatch by
the Cuba cable to Washington, asking the American
Government to send squadron to Cuba. The story
is a base fasehood. The following is authoriatiVey
given as the true version of the affair: The American
Consul wished telegraph to Washington that Puerto
Principe had revolted The Captain General was GER
tain the intelligence untrue, and convinced the
Consul of that fact, who Immediately and voluntarily
withdrew it. ga ,-- -
dispatch from the New York Associated Press,
announcing the attempt to organise hhbustering ex-
petition in that city and New 0reaus against Cuba,
was promptly received here Captain General Ler-
sund is also in receipt OF dispatches the same eff
feet. All necessary precautions have been taken to
ceive the invaders Spanish steamers are cruising
about the coast. ~
Col Guiros has returned to Santiago de Cuba from
the insurreetonary district. He unable to remain
there any longer he out of provisions and that
region was entirely bare,
s The Captain General has received dispatch from
the provisional Government at Madrid approving his
course in every particular The dispatch mentioned
the fact of the appointmentof Gen. Dulce, Captain
General of Cuba, who was nominated on account of
the receipt Of the resignation OF Lersundi.

In his letter Of acceptance, Gen. Grant used the
phrase, 8 Let us have peace Itremains to beseen,
how he will interpret it, how Congress will interpret
it, in practice, fhe having policy Of bis own is to
be the mere outhpeee, rather the executive hand
Of the will of that body He may disappoint bis oWn
party much as the opposition. He may claim, or
act upon an Interpretation to this effect that having
no policy of his own to pursue he never formally
and expressly committed to the policy of the Radical
party His nomination was certainly necessity to
them, while his acceptance, and the manner of IT,
was matter of discretion to him. He may choose to
exercise like discretion, under the responsibilities
imposed by his Judgment and his conscience, in bis
high Office. We hope he will However that may
be and in whatever manner are to have peace, ret
us by all MEANS take advantage of it, to give that at

vitality necessary to its future growth and prosperity
And first, in Importance, is the extension of the Pa

management Of the present company and the paying

surance that this will be done. How soon, viii depend,

TIE Cry TRApE.-We do not remember ever to
lave seen such large and varied assoFtments Of mer-
-thandise enerprsng merchants are now offer
ing to the trade. Business is brisk and active and
sales heavy; still cur merchants continue to receive
constant supplies and to keep up fine stocks. Staple
articles can be bought in our market as cheap as II
New Orleans, while our cotton buyers have kept too
near the city figures for their good. Now is the
time before the roads become heavy or impossible for
the farmers to bring in their produce. There is no
lack Of money for all purposes of trade and they may
rely on remunerative prices. Our Texas customers
understand this, and giving full employment to our
railroad. Those of our own parish and Desoto seem
more backward in sending in their cotton and yet
they have to rely entirely on the public roads. A
very little bad weather will make trouble follow in the
wake of DELAY, Il
