The adyicrS frm CuhI, although they are not
very definite. show that the instruction IL still
gaining ground. Heretofore, the Eastern part OF
tie island. Say from Puerto Principe to Cape
Maysi. was reported as under their CONTROL save
the principal ScarortS, which were guarded by
Spanish war vessels. The ad,ices Icy ;he mail
state that the main forccs of the Insurgents have
moved farther west. and are now occupying the
triangular district torncd 10y the towns Of Irini-
dad. CigulucEaS and Villa Clara. This embraces
some Of the finest territory ofecntral Cubs, and We
left TO infer that from CentueEo> 70 the most
Eastern point. the island Is in instruction. Ref
erence 10 q map Of Cuba Will AID the reader. and
enable him To comprehend the extent Of the up
rising.
We have the report also that the instruction
ist> have n well-orgauizej provisional government,
which i working tremendously. Bat it Is evident
that the Colonial Government. whose headquarters
are 1t Havana, has. with the help of the 70.G00
government troops ON the island. and the thirty
or forty war vessels stationed NJ various ports,
vastly the advantage, and the probabilities are
strongly in favor of the success of the government
forces. unless the majority of the islanders are in
favor of tie revolt. of which we have no sure
means Of learning, a. most OF the dispatches come
from Havana.
Gen. Dulce has been removed from the Govern
orship Of Cuba, and a new Captain General ap-
pointed, named Cabellero &c Rova. Hisappoint-
ment causes great excitement at Havana, and may
result in an outbreak there against the Colonial
Government. Alla5ie-bodicdmeu over seventeen
years. are impressed into the army, which indi-
Gates q desperate state of affairs.
The inSurrectionary generals give strict orders
TO respect the property Of English, French AMI
Americans, but burn the estates OF Spanish plant
ers, who are supposed to be loyal to Spain. In
all, over fifty estates have been destroyed, and it
is supposed the sugar crop will be reduced at
least one-fourth. Under this state Of affairs, the
price of sugars in Havana and New York has ad-
vanced about three cents per pound, and should
the revolution continue for two months longer,
there will be a still greater reduction of the crop
and rise in the price.

TIic Ncvv Constitutional Amend
~ mcnt.

mcnt.
Nfrrr moro than usual disagreement between
the two branches of Congress, the fourteenth
the d. Suffrage Amendment was finally adopted
by the Senate on the 9th of February. and now
goes TO the State Legislatures for ratification. If
it Is adopted 10y three-fourths Of them, it becomes
n law. The section. n passed, reads rs follows
The right = any citizen Of the United states t. vote shall
not D. d,ai=l 0r Abridged by the United states. or anv STATE.
IN account o:ssce, color or previous condition Of ssrvitude.
The Senate insisted that the right = . 10 hoid Of
tce'' should be included in the amendment, SO
that any citizen might vote or hold Office under it.
The Representatives stood out against this. arguing
that the latter right should be left open for state
decision. The real reason, however, is that public
opinion in the United States has not reached the
point which will cpncelc 70 colorel men the right
to hold Office on the same qualifications as whites.
They may vote, ami no law can deprive them of
this right, but for them TO hold Office is left open
for future discussion and decision.
The amendment, as adopted, will allow any
State to pass a property or educational q%ualiiica-
ton for voters, but will forbid any exclusion from
the polls on account of d" race. color, or previous
servitude." Congress may admit colorcd persons
to office or TO n scat in either branch of it. there
being no restriction in this or any other section
but the States will still possess the same control
OF the privilege that they lave always claimed
and enjoyed, which would not have been the case
had the amendment passed as the Senate wished.
If the amendment is ratified by the State Legis-
laturcs, which is not at all certain. it will be a
step forward ia the great problem of abolishing all
legal restrictions Oh tie equality of the white and
colored races, which, when attempts are made to
accomplish, finds 80 much opposition, even from
friends of the latter. Notwithstanding all tie
boosted Rcpublicanism of America, the day has
not yet arrived when a colored man of like educa-
ton, wealth and social position, can exercise the
privileges Of seat in Congress or State Leg
as his morc-favored white neighbor,
unless We except Massachusetts and one or two
other States. John Morrissey. the pugilist and
gambler, can sit a. Il representative in Congress,
but Fred. Douglass or any other colored man Of
far superior worth and abilities, cannot, because
Of bis color. Still the amendment if ratified. is a
great gam, and IL half loaf is better than none.

GENEVA, sept. -, 1869.
D,ar CdluiWaom We had reached
lnterlakcm. GGu have followed me in
the experience of Il week with the Alp
stock. | cannot renew the invitation TO
follow ne further in the continuous cx-
pericncc of a pedestrian. Time Is press
ing. We must cucumber ourselves with
baggage and tolerate the inglorious III
tcrvcntion of steamboats,, railway and
diligence. Thus only internationally up
on the iootpath We come round at last to
Geneva. One may lingcr peaSurablv
about Intcrlaken, and the bordering
lakes OF Iiricnz and Thun. You will
fall into the trail of fashionable life in
deed, and this Stiffness and pretcntou--
ness will offend you, if you seek only the
quiet, simple, solemn grandcurs of ma
ture. But these people have their en-
joyments as well as you, and nature is
aiEiDic enough 10 tolerate them. One
may be glad indeed, that this stupendous
greatness, can touch their litteness in
any way. If one is curious he NAV
watch them upon the promenade But
if he will deliver himself from them let
him climb the heights. There is nothing
more cffectual. This handbook and
trunk encountered style of humanity is
no doubt very absurd in Switzerland,
but happily it cannot fatally vitiate these
simple joys of nature. At evening you
may walk along neatly policed pathways
beneath the shadow of the cliffs behind
the town. The light is fading from the
summit of the Jungfrau. The grinding
OF the mill below you is silenced The
rifle practice Of those incipient Chamois
hunters has ceased. Hard by, the river
is rushing on, and streams are leaping
eagerly around you. Nature is IMPOSING
a silence as if to make them heard This
is pleasant hour.
