Repulse of the Attack on Puerto Principe by
Five Thousand Negroes.

Repulse of the Attack on Puerto Principe by
By Cuba Cable
HAVANA, August at is reported that two
slavers have landed in the Cinco Villas district
on account of Zulueta Marino. On Wednesday
last July 2S, five thousand negro insurgents at
tackled PuertO Principe, making general aid
through the city. The Spanish troops, to the
number of four thousand men, attacked them A
severe struggle ensued, in which the ground was
contested inch by inch, the insurgents finally
retiring i'm perfect order, having achieved the
object for which they made the raid. They cap
tured and destroyed provisions valued at S5O,-
600, and made good their retreat. The Spaniards
do not give any estimate of the patriot losses.
Thrty-fou rwounded soldiers of their army were
taken to the barracks. The Spaniards claim
they had only eleven men killed.
Affairs at Santiago, Contemplated Attack on
Patriot fears of massacre by the volunteers
have subsidized. There is great dearth of pro-
visions, and consequently great misery at San
tiago de Cuba. On Saturday, July "a, the
patriot detachments which have been attacking
the fortified plantations for some time past de-
feated the Spanish renforcements sent to meet
them. Colonel Camara, commanding the
Spanish forces, was wounded, and the eXpedi-
tion compelled to return to the city. 1t is stated
that as soon as their preparations are completed
the patriots will positively attack Santiago de
Cuba.
Expected Investment of Puerto Principe.
The negro militia that made the raid upon
Puerto Principe enabled a number of families to
escape from the Spaniards. The investment of
Puerto Principe is expected.
Mr.. Furguson, long imprisoned at Manzanillo,
has obtained his release. A number of the politi-
cal prisoners have also been released.
More SequestratiOns.
In consequence of certain correspondence
having been intercepted, more important seques
trations are expected. The sales of confscatcd
property will take place at auction. 1t is suggested
that the police authorities make registration
of the slaves owned by disloyal masters. More
troops are demanded from the interior, the insur-
gents increasing in numbers and activity.

TEXTS.

We obserye that the Administration is occa :
sionally importuned to remove Revenue omcers
in TEXAS on the assumption that they are sup
portinp "Jack Hamilton" for Governor OF the
State. Said officers may deserve removal; II so
we trust they may get it; but not for the rea-
BON assigned. Gen. Andrew j. Hamilton Is
Republican if we eyer saw one He was i!
Congress when the Rebellion was inaugurated
and stayed there to the end of his term, making
rousing Union speech just before that Con-
oreas dissolved; LIE went home to face the
RebeIs. and stayed there till they Qverpowered
and hunted him from the State, killing dis
next friend; while he escaped into Mexico, and
thence came North to do his utmost for the
Union cause. He attended the Con-
yention of Southern Unionists at Philadelphia
in 1885, then accompanied Brownlow and other
Southerners in their speaking tour through
the Free States. No manfhas done more forci-
bic speaking for the Union cause than Gen.
Hamilton; while his associate on the ticket as
Lieutenant Governor, BOulds Baker, was also an
nfexible Unionist, having fought as well as
spoken for the cause. Hamilton and Baker
are both born Southrons; they are firm sup
porters of Impartial Suffrage as well as UNI
yersal Amnesty; and it looks exceedingly as
though they were to be elected.
We say nothing in disparagement OF Col. E.
]. Davis, who is the rival candidate for Gov
ernor. He, too, is for Universal Amnesty as
we'll as Impartial Suffrage--was soldier OF
the Union-and is an able, upright man, who,
if elected, will prove an excellent Governor.
We only protest against turning over Hamil-
ton and Baker to the Sham Democracy, where
they do not belong.

THE NATIONAL NURSERY.

The old Joke about New England being such
a capital place to come from gets so many
illustrations in one way and another, that we
shall not wonder if it soon becomes accepted
as no joke at all, but a plain statement of
fact. The London Times remarked the other
day that Harvard had educated Boston and
Boston had educated the United States and
there was good foundation of truth for the
statement, though of course it was pushed a
trife far. The enterprise which is transform
ing our Western deserts into grain fields, and
scattering metropolises all over continent
if we trace it back to its youth,
will lead us to the stony hills and bleak pas
lures of the Northeast. The streamof vigor-
Gus emigration which has built up State after
State and pushed civilized life to the very
shores of the Pacific and is now spreading
over the devastated fields of the South and
Southwest, seems to have flowed out of that
same forbidding little corner of America, get
ting tributaries to be sure from other portions
of the Atlantic coast, yet having its true source
in Connecticut, in Massachusetts, in Vermont,
and in New Hampshire.
A correspondent who has been examining
the farms of Eastern Massachusetts, notices.
however popularity in the Yankee system of
educating the United States which has been
very generally overlooked. A good education
ought to be like charity, blessing to him
who gives as well as to him who receives, so
that man may teach himself while he teaches
others; but the fact seems to be that the
stream which is fertilizing the rest of the
country does in certain respects exhaust and
impoverish its source, and that the Yankee, in
disseminating enterprise and ingenuity all
over the Union, sometimes drives those
valuable qualities away from home.
He is the apostle of progress, because no has
such a wonderful talent for going away
from places. He brings whole territory under
cultivation III few years, because as soon as
he has laid out one farm he leaves it and plants
another. He looks always ahead and cares no.
thing for what he leaves behind and while q
restless and ambitious population is pressing on
after him, to continue his abandoned work,
it is blessing that the pioneer spirit in his
bosom takes this particular form. There
must be, however, away in the back
ground, starting-point, where there is
no following of immigration to close up the
rear; and it is therefore not surprising that we
should find many portions of New-England far
inferior to younger settlements in the material
culture, and especially agriculture, which
Yankees have taught the rest of the world
1t is the old stOry-the fathers know less than
their children. The youth no sooner comes to
mans estate than he pushes out into the West
to seek his fortune. Whatever he learns by
experience, whatever improvement his ingenuity
devses, he practices not upon the old home
farm, but upon the new lands which he has
selected out of the wilderness. Thus it is
that Massachusetts has SO many farms ruined
by bad tillage, 80 many WORKOUT meadows
which it viii not pay to NOW. so many folds

According to The New- York Medical Record
the medical charities appear to be generally
abused, by persons abundantly able to pay for
treatment applying to hospitals and physicians
for gratuitous help, after assuming beggarly
attire, the better to effect their purpose. On
the other hand, some really needy. as respecta-
BILE seamstresses, for instance, come dressed in
their BEST and couEageously pay their last dol
lar for the much needed medicines. 1t is stated
as singular fact that those hospital patients
from whose diseases instruction is impaired to
students are often "not only well dressed, but
"seem to have money to spare upon jewelry.'
Young physicians are, perhaps, most liable to
be imposed upon by these pretenders.

in an appeal to their fellow Republicans Of
Ohio County, inaugurating IN movement to re-
store the Right of Suffrage to those citizens of
West Virginia whom her Constitution disfran-
chses for aiding the Rebellion. They say:
