HAVANA, Oct. 1.-THE latest authentic
news from Los Tunas announces the sue
cessful progress of the campaign against
the insurgents. They appeared in that
district in three or four separate bands, all
under the lead Of 4 guerrilla. After the
defeat of the largest body they all dispersed,
and are trying to reach the sea shore, with
the probable intention Of finding ships on
which TO escape from the country. The
troops are pursuing them in various direc-
tions. The bands were composed of ban
dits whom Captain General Lsrzundi's
vigorous measures had driven TO the noun
tains.
There were among them numbers ofper-
sons without regular occupations and
ready for anything which promised any
excitement The entire number of insur
gents we're about 200. The Captain Gene.
raj will Immediately send a man-Of-war 10
prevent strsgglers from leaving the coast.
Puerto, Principe and other towns in the vi
Cinity of the disturbance remain quiet, a.
the citizens are in favor of the present
government.
The expulsion of General Santa Anna
from Toaboda has put an end to recruiting
and other demonstrations against the Mex
lean government.
Captain General Lerzundi declares that
while he is in command he will not permit
any conspiracy in this Island against
foreign government.
The weather is hot but rainy, and the
city and Island are healthy.

And all this you know and feel as well as
| do. And on the other hand, would say
to the colored men here at the South. that
| entertain The kindest feelings to them
and feel very deep solicitude for their
permanent welfare and happiness. In all
sincerity | would tell them that fear that
their present Importance in politics Is
likely to be used for purposes which are
dangerous to their ultimate well-being.
Bide then your time in either event ;
possess your souls in patience; call TO your
aid that grandest of all human qualities
self. control-and all will yet be we'll.
This nation has had too much violence and
headIong haste. You, in particular, have
had a terrible warning against heat and
passion. Keep cool and watch your ~hance,
come whence Il will. Above all tL-.4gs, do
nothing TO render 1t more difficult than it
is now for either party to return to con-
stitutional system. If you favor haste and
passion in the Democratic party, or by i'm
patience strengthen the hands Of the ex-
IRENE men in the Republican party, you
equally retard the coming of your only
sure salvation, a re-establishment upon safe
and lasting foundations OF the temple Of
constitutional liberty which our foreathers
reared.
Keep your eyes fixed steadily upon this
as pole-star 10 steer your political course
by. Stop your ears to the Establishments of
this temptation of immediate relief on the
one hand, or that seduction OF gratifed
passion on the ether. Summon all your
self-restraining manhood, and you shall sail
safe between the Scylls and Gharybdis
which perplex your way.
My friends, | have almost done, and i
will detain you but few moments longer,
to suggest some thoughts which, as a citi-
zen of Massachusetts and native of New
England, have long occupied my mind,
and seem to me appropriate to this
meeting on the soil on Sonth Carolina.
Separated as our States have been for many
wears in sentiment, their substantial inter-
ests are very similar. Their material
wants and products are cgrrelatiVe, and
their popular characteristics are counter
parts. l do not mean by counterpart that
they are alike, but that one Is the supplement
of the other. The one cold, cautious and
thoughtful the other warm, impulsive and
impressionable. Combine these qualities,
and you double their power, by regulating
and economizing their force. Nor need
we look far 10 foresee their political afi.lia-
ton in the future, if all goes we'll. The
policy OF the seaboard States in reference
to the great questions Of financial, indus
trial and commercial interests which must
inevitably replace the incidents lef! by the
war as soon az they are disposed OF, can
hardly fail TO be nearly related. Inc next
great political division promises to be one
of native sheds, rather than OF sections.
The great interior basin can and will, If
she likes, dictate to the outer slopes of the
mountains; and they will need good I'M
derstanding among themselves, and pretty
cordial cooperation of measures, ana a
good strong constitution, TOO to retain and
uphold their present place in the general
n6Iipy

The heads of bureaus of he several de-
partments of the government are busily
engaged preparing their estimates of APP
preparations for the fiscal year ending June
20 1870. Some officials have alredy de-
termined the amounts that will be required.
The Commissioner OF Pensions estimates
that he will need an appropriation of$23,-
67292S. This il Il decrease from the
amount asked for the fiscal year ending
June, 1866, there being a surplus on hand.
The report will show that the whole amount
of money paid FOR pensions from the foun-
dalton of the government TO June So 1868,
was Sl6l, 04S, 242 -. Ga June 80 there
were l69, 645 names on the pension rolls.
An important decision concerning the
rights OF widows to receive the bounty Of
deceased soldiers has just been rendered by
the Second Comptroller of The Treasury.
The facts are briefly these Josiah Denni-
son, private company A, 9th Regiment
Kentucky Infantry Volunteers, was killed
in service December IA, 1863, leaving
widow and parents, but no child. The
widow REMARKED on the 9Th day Of Janu-
airy, 1866, and the parents applied on the
10th of September, 1868, for the additional
bounty under the act Of July, %, 1866.
The Second Comptroller of the Treasury
decides that, as there was no widow of the
soldier at the date Of the act of 1866, the
next existing heirs named in the law were
competent TO inherit, and the bounty was
therefore allowed 10 the parents.

Facts and Figures.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Tbs Demo-
cratic Committee is preparing for prose
cution of the campaign with unWOnted
Vigor, and find, by comparing notes with
prominent Democrats in this city, that the
prospect, so far from being gloomy, is
really very bright.
The feeling in regard to the election of
Seymour, is as deep as ever. Far from be-
ing discouraged, the Democrats every
where are resolved to move on in their
fixed purpose, and to accomplish the elee-
ton of their candidates. There has been
a disappointment about Pennsylvania, but
the belief is general that the Democracy Of
that State intend to contest every inch of
ground, and that it isnot at all desperate, for
the Is 900 rejected Democratic voters will
vote in November. 1t is within the recol-
lection of many that Pennsylvania once
gave a majority of 10000 at an October
election and in November the unsuccessful
party carried the day. With Pennsylva-
MIA our success was beyond doubt. But
we had votes to spare, and with even her
twenty-six votes against US we see bright
prospects for Seymour. In winning
Ohio the 'Dutch have only captured Hol-
land" again. 1t has been fixed star Of
Radicalism since the birth Of that party,
and it was only the brilliant canvass Of
last year which encouraged the hope Of
better things. In looking over the field

Taking all these facts together. il would
seem that the point Of greatest intensity
ia the connection OF the earth's crust
was somewhere - tie Pacific Ocean
midway between South America and the
Sandwich Islands, since the tidal wave
reached those islands sooner than it did
California, and lasted longer, andw OBJ
served at the latter place no sooner than
it was at Japan That the CONFUSION was
as near the Sandwich Islands as If was in
South America, ifnOt nearer, is confirmed
by the sinking of the shore of Hawaii,
and the continuance of earthquakes in it's
neighborhood. We are told that the
subsistence of Hawaii in some places was
from three to four, and in others from
six to seven feet, while at Hil0 the great
est subsistence noticed was eight inches.
In HilO, Pura, kaulroi, one to five
earthquakes occurred daily. When we
get full accounts from all parts of the
world of this terrible earthquake, it will
probably be found to have been one of a
wider extent than any which has occurred

SIVRS ON WOMEN.

At the conclusion Of the speech a
gentleman present rose to his feet, and
said:
II trust the gentleman, in the app

The effect of this most Just and timely
rebuke was overwhelming the maligner

This incident serves an excellent
purpose in preiacing iew words which
we have for a long time had it in our mind
to say.

TIE POLITICAL STRUGGLE ENG.

The leaders oftheTt r. and Liberal parss
ties in England, Mr. Disraeli and Mr..
Gladstone, have lately defined their res
spective positions upon the issues pending
in the English olcclicns-the former in
an address to his constituents in Bucks
inghamshire, and the latter in an address
10 the electors Of South Lancashire Mr.
pisrach asserts that the Irish Church
disendowment project of Mr.. Gladstone,
%hich was passed by the House Of Com.
mons if carried into complete effect by
the new legislature, will unsettle prop
crtv, and make coniiscation contagious
and worse than all, give England over to
Poperv and practically to the rule OF a
foreign power. The Tory papers, it is
reported do not place the emphasis upon
the no-Popery outcry which Is given to
it by the premier, but rely principally on
the successful foreign policy Of the gov
eminent, including the Abyssinian war,
the danger to the Church of England, and
the necessity of economy in the public
expenditures NJ Gladstone in his ad~
dress expresses his opposition to a gen.
eral endowment of the churches in ireland,
treats the established church there a. a
mark Of past oppression, and urges that
the case against it is aggravated by the
fact that il il the church Of the rich, and
has vet accomplished such meagre results
lie insists that the true policy is the pol
icv of Justice and to apply the revenue tc
puLlic and social works and not TO Teligi-
Gus establishments The Liberal organ'
are emphatic in their praise Of the frank
and positive tone Of the address. Then
own utterances are even more decided
than those of their leader, and many c
them look tG the results which be does
not seem TO contemplate.
