WASHINGTON.
The Import Duty ON Cotton and Cigar,

The Import Duty ON Cotton and Cigars
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-In accordance
with the act of FEBRUARY Sd, 1865, all cot.
ton imported from Foreign countries from
and after the LIST proximo will be exempt
from import duty. The Treasury depart
ment has issued circular dated October
29lh, directing that duty Of 81 so per
pound and % per cent advalorum be as
sessed on all cigars, cigarettes and cher
roots.
The Agricultural Department reports
cotton somewhat less than last year, but
the culture better and the preparations for
planting more complete, and labor more
regular and reliable as a general rule.
Eearly in the reason the prospects of the
crops were fine, bat serious losses have re-
Gently been incurred, however, principally
from the depredations Of the cotton cater
pillar, or the army worm, which proved
more general and severe in Louisiana than
elsewhere and troublesome in portions Of
Alabama and Mississippi, and somewhat
prevalent in the Carolinas aud Arkansas.
Heavy rains in Tennessee and the South
west have caused much anxiety, but less
damage than was expected. The returns
indicated a smaller crop possibly by fifteen
or twenty per cent. than last year, but a
complete estimate will not be made till the
crop is gathered.
During the first week in October dis
bursements from the Treasury Department
were very heavy, and it was thought there
would be considerable increase in the
public debt, but receipts from customs
during the month have been very large
and will probably make up the deficiency,
and it is now expected the statement will
show a slight decrease.

The Tribune's Sensation Dispatches

New YORK, Oct 3O.-The Tribune of
to-day has the following specials:
New ORLEANS, Oct. 20 Last night
armed bands Of Democrats patrolled the
streets and negroes we're shot down. The
remaining Republican club room and some
residences were sacked. Prominent Re-
publiCans were generally concealed. Large
numbers have been killed here and in St.
Bernard, and mob law has ruled, but no
United States soldiers have fred a gun
This morning newspapers demand the i'm
mediate resignation of the State officers, the
departure Of carpet-baggers, and that laws
which do not suit them shall be trampled
under foot Governor Warmoth DO his
duty Eobly amid dangers and difficulties.
This afternoon General Rousseau told the
Police Committee TO remove SuperintenG-
ent Williamson and appoint Gen. Sleed-
man, or take care Of themselves. They
complied, and General Steedman is re-or-
ganizing the police, by superseding the
Republicans. The excitement is intense,
but less demOnstrative this evening. Gen.
Rousseau publishes an address, saying
that he will support Gen. Steedman in
preserving the peace. Gen. Rouaseau's
course favOrs the revolutionists.
Tonight Gen. Steedman Withdrew his
resignation and is now in charge of the
police. Intense excitement prevails at the
City Hall, aud fears are expressed that
trouble may come of the failure of the
Rebel Tom Adams to get the position
he covers.

CUBA.
Progress of the ReVOlutlOn-A New
Version of the Situation.

version of the Situation.
New York, Oct. 30.-The Tribune pub
fishes the following letter from the Cuban
revolutionary Jnnta:
Having observed what you have hither-
to published of the Spanish official intelli-
gence in regard to the revolution now pro-
crossing in Cuba, we beg leave TO call your
attention the fact that official accounts of
the state of affairs, are in main, false, and
entirely unreliable. Deprived as We are Of
the freedom Of the press, the majority of
the inhabitants even of this city, are I'M
acquainted with the real facts Of the revo-
luton in Cuba. So far from having died
out, it is steadily progressing, and will only
die out when Spanish rule will have ex-
pired. Signed, the Spanish Junta, in ses-
sion in Havana, third day of October Is,
1868.
The following further particulars are
given as TO the progress of the revolution:
The revolutionists have divided into small
bands, with a view of carrying on q gaer-
rilla war until they are strong enough to
cope with the Spanish troops with fair
prospect Of success. A considerable band
is stationed in the neighborhood Of Santi-
ago de Cuba, another near Peuerto PrIn-
cfpe.
The revolutionists have burned several
plantations and taken the negroes with
them sas auxilliaries. In several skirm-
ishes with the Spanish troops the Creoles,
both white and black, have fought bravely,
causing heavy loss TO the Spaniards. The
Cubans all over the island are enthusiastic,
but are in want of arms. Several Cubans
have been arrested and are confined il
Moro Castle. In the parish of Jesus Ma
ria forty negroes were arrested last night
for having arms in their possession.
Trustworthy information just received
states that guerilla chief of revolu-
tionary band has with him four thou
sand whites, and six thousand negroes.
Artillery sent from this city has stuck in
the mud; heavy rains have fallen in the
Eastern Department, The Revolutionists
have full sway in large section of country;
the Capt. General is .hurrying forward
fresh troops in all haste. One of the
Spanish mail ships has just been chartered
to carry troops to the scene OF action.
Great enthusiasm and confidence prevails
among the Cubans. If measures should
become necessary there's fixed determine
to declare Immediately emancipation, and
call upon negroes.
A Havana letter to the World says the
total strength of the insurgents is variously
estimated at from 200 10 GOO. They are
wretchedly armed, and comprise, contrary
to the first report, blacks and Chinese, as
well as whites. There leader is Don Pedro |
Acqueller. The present lines extend from
Maguequa State, two leagues beyond Tunis,
to near the village of Juaguana, embra-
cling wild broken section of country, adj |
mirably adapted to irregular warfare, and
the difficulties which are to be overcome
by the troops pursuing are greatly in
creased by the badness of the road, rem
dered almost unfit for travel by the late |
heavy rains. Despite all these drawbacks, |
if the governments early succeed in re-
order is assured beyond the |
point of cavil.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The track of
the Union Pacific railroad is completed
to within one hundred and twenty miles
of Salt Lake City; and the Central PaN
cifc road from Sacramento eastward is
finished to within two hundred and
twenty miles Of that city, leaving only
three hundred and seventy miles Of track
to be laid before the connection Of the
two lines.
Much anxiety is felt at the War De-
partment about the condition Of things
South, and the few troops at the disposal
of the authorities have been kept in read
mess to be sent to any point where there
may be occasion for them. The Twelfth
Infantry, of which four companies are
stationed here under command of Col
onel Wallace, have been under orders
since Friday last to moyesat a moments

kept most Of the time waiting to carry
them over the Southern line railroad
They were at first destined for Memphis,
Tennessee, but the recent troubles in
Louisiana have directed attention to that
quarter Should an exigcncy arise they
will be sent where they appear to be

A report has been circulated that
General Grant would very shortly return

will certainly not return until after the
election, which will, of course, govern

Of Education, to Gen. Grant, on the 1st
United States infantry, and by Gen. Grant
referred through the proper channel to that
