There was quite an excitement In q

ment that the bruiser Tom Allen had
whipped the bruiser Mike McCoole. A
large crowd had gatherd In the tele-

was the absorbing topic Of cow ersation.
The fight took place on Foster Island
and was witnessed by as decided crowd
Of roughs as ever congregated In Amerl.
CO. McCoole was whipped In nine
rounds, or thirty-four minutes, receiving
pretty severe punishment. A general
fight among the spectators distinguished

Of Natjons were answered by pointing
us to their municipal statutes ana .ne
ruling in the case OF the Alexandra,
where the Attorney and Sollcitor-Generai hau
assumed that America in her neutrality nau
exceeded the duties of neutral; and MIR.

announced as their final decision that they

this is war;"
These "reminiscences, so familiar to the Amer
lean people, have been revived In all their
freshness by the most extraordinary prOtocoi

Mr. Reverdy johnson, assisted by his new
friends, Mr. Laird the builder of the iron clads
Lord Wharncliife the open abettor OF the he
bellion in the interest of Slavery and the
slave trade, and Mr.. Roebuck, who moved Tor
the recognition of the Southern Confederacy,
declaring that "the men of the South were
"Englishmen, but that the army OF the North
was composed of the scum of Europe" There
are ntimations, however, that it was framed
at Washington and sent across the water, and
TO this idea color is given by the remark OF
The New- York Times, that "every material
"point made by the Department of State has
I" been conceded substantially in the form IN
(Which it was submitted" and by the rumors
from Washington of the personal efforts OF the
Secretary to procure its ratification.
But wherever, or by whomsoever framed, this
treaty is q fitting conclusion to the treacherous
administration of Andrew Johnson, and to the
weak diplomacy Of n Secretary whose first
step was TO strip our cause of its chief dignity
and principle at the commencement OF the
Rebellion, by assuring Europe, with an equal
disregard of the simple truth and of National
honor, that the National Government had no
power to coerce seeding States, and that Slav-
cry had nothing to do with the Rebellion.
Such assurances from such source, accom-
plishcd for Mr.. jefferson Davis what his So
called ENJOYS had in vain endeavOred to effect

the entire expulsion of the Spaniard.
1t is evident. that the Spanish authorities Ara
thoroughly alarmed They recall the tardy
liberal concessions, and establish, in the nama
of the Provisional Government and Free Spain.
a rigor worse than that of the Bourbon.
They issue, every day, fresh stories Of
the immediate arrival of two thousand.
three thousand, four thousand reenforcemens.
They desert the Eastern end Of the Island On
masse, and the column escorting the refugees
to Havana is harassed by flying bands of the
insurgents hanging upon its TANKS. They
even suffer the transmission of statement
that Havana itself is almost in state of siege.
Those who have watched the progress Of the
Creole movement have long noted the absence
of any appearance Of an organized, insurgent
Government. This, as we now learn, they have
in full operation, with Cespedcs as Secretary
of War, Quesada as commander in the
field, and the Havana Junta in perfect
co0peration Outside the garrsoned towns.
they control the whole Eastern half of
the island; while the Captain-Geneml con.
trolls simply the ground his troops stand on.
The Western Jurisdictions seem to be moro
quiet only because the Spanish force there ia
stronger. Yet, up to the very suburbs
of Havana, insurrectionary outbreaks have
occurred; an organized insurgent force is re-
ported at Matanzas; and at last the patriots
have dared to raise their heads even 10 the
Westward of Havana. A band three hundred
strong is reported at San Antonio, and another
so far West as at Colon.
Thus the little fame that four months ago
raised its Pickering light in the far East among
the mountains about BayamO, has swept through
out the entire length Of the island, has girdled
the capital and leaped to the Westward bo-
yond it. The cause commands every Cuban
heart; it seems supported literally by
the Cuban purse it brings Emancipa-
ton in its train and it is managed
by men whose actions betOken sagacious plans
and a thorough comprehension of their him
ORANGES and their opportunity. We cannot
doubt that their right to Independence, thus
wisely and bravely supported, will soon be
established, and that the midsummer breezes
will. for the first time, in the history Of the
New World, bear aoft through the whole length
of the fair Island, from BaracOa to Nueva
Filipino, and from the Mountains clear down
to the Sea, the victorious banner of Free Cuba.
