Tell you lnal ldSG night eISHG houses were
burnt down in Cohre, close to a barrack
of five hundred soldiers. General de la
Tore had threatened to execute any pro-
prietors who should give money to the
insurgents to prevent the destruction OF
their properties. With this threat hang
ing over them, they could not comply
with the engagements made with the IN
surgents. This disappointment caused
the latter to commit depredalions. On
the other band, the Spanish Government,
also feeling The wan of means, proposes
to collect The taxes in advance. This is
another cause inducing The insurgents to
destroy property.
The Havana papers are full of diaIribes
against the English colonies, declaring
that they are all inhabited by a parcel Of
Wreckers.
Yesterday was a day of alarm here,
some one having spread the report that
one of the insurgent chiefs, Edward Mar
mold, had been captured.
The Kingston papers are all intercepted
Ivy the Government, and all the letters
sent by thu Spanish Steamer are opened.
The "Bardefa Espano4s,' which is a
new paper, is the organ Of the Catalan
club. Ii Is making war against the ladies
Of Cuba, because they will not buy any
thing AT HE Catalan shops.
Il is momentIy expected that the United
States wiz recognize The independence
ofCuba aud public opinion is complaining
Of the delay, since The United States have
greater right to ioleffrre here than France
had to interfere in Mexico, and the longer
they withhold their assistance the worse
it will be, as the end will be desolation.
It is reported that the Chiefs of the In
surrecti0n are about to meet, and that
the result will be declaration of annex
alton to the United States, which is the
ardent desire of the Cubans.
The Spanish Steamer "Cienfuegos,"
from Havana arrived at Santiago on the
3rd with one thousand troops from Spain
They landed, aud were to march against
the insurgents.
The Liverpool, West India and Pacific
Steamer Chihian, Capt. Cowell, arrived
at this port early on Wednesday. She
left Liverpool on the 10th April and ar
rived at Port-au-Prince on the 1st instant.
Salnave was at Miragoane in The Steamer
Galatea, and it was reported that he con-
templatea another attack upon Aux Cages,
which was resolutely awaiting his arrival.
A fire occurred at Bel Air, a short way
out Of Port.au-Prince destroying a block
of buildings. ">The sailors from III. Nj. s.

marks with force:
1t is the duty of every Re-
publican in Ohio to so to work
at ONCE and earnestly. It'can
not be plead that the issues
are of little consequence. Ii
we have not an armed foe in
the field, we are called upon
to face the men who gave the
rebels sympathy and encour,
agement, without which the
rebellion would never have
been attempted. Our oppo-
nents are the avOwed enemies
of impartial rights and thus
the allies Of aristocratic pride
and monopoly, They would
overthrow, if they could, the
financial credit of the country
and involve every business
and agricultural interest in
hopeless bankruptcy. Tie

half the Union. It's ravages
have been checked, but its EN-.
