veterans of the late war, part of whom
are from the late Confederate army.
Their commanding officer was formerly
an officer of the regular army, and was
considered a superior officer ia the
branch of the service. Not only have
the guns and men gone from the United
States, but the horses were also sent from

points in this country) The battery,
when completed, will be organized, fully
equipped, and sent from a Mexican

We are informed by a late Colonel in
the Union army, who has just returned

ports to Cuba, having on board small par

average daily number of these recruits
for the Cuban cause at between forty and
fifty, and if he is correct the Cubans have
before this received an accession of fair
brigade of experienced and desperate
fighters who will soon be heard from. If
there should be Mosby or a Morgan
among them, the Spaniards will find out

The Br O0kIyn, New York, Tragedy
Marrow Escape of the Intended
Vfefim

The attempted killing of Miss Lizzie
Scribner, at Brooklyn, by Samuel d.
Talbot, rejected lover, and his sub
sequent suicide, has created profound
sensation in the fashionable circles of
that growing city. The evidence shows
conclusively that Talbot intended to
commit an outrage on the person of the
young lady. The following report of
Miss Scribner's testimony will be found
interesting: ap

noise like the creaking of door. Al
most Immediately l felt towel, which
was saturated with cbloroform, applied
to my face; was stifed, but exerting
my strength freed myself from the ap-
plication the gas in my room was not
burning, but the light from the gas Of the
street lamps was sufficient for me to re.
cognize persons in my room, and re
cognized the person who was in my room
and applied the chloroform to my face
1t was Samuel d. Talbot, the deceased.

quite conscious, sufficiently 80 to be able

sister soon came to my assistance, d.

being faint from excitement, threw
myself on her bed in the back room /

utes before Talbot came from the passage

into the room where | was lying; my
back was towards him; my face was to-
wards the rear of the house; he came
through from the front of the room; as
he entered the room I turned my face
around to see who it was; when saw it

opposite side from him; he had q pistol
in his hand; / crouched down in front of
the bureau; and while doing so he lev

SambO at the Opera-The ExpuIsion
of Macariy from the New Orleans

| opera.
From the Times, l9th.l
During the trial of the Macarty case
the United States Court is crowded with
nearly the whole adult free coored popu.
lation of the city. Among these is large
number of grey haired veterans, who
rarely venture out of sight of their au-
tique habitations in the lower part of the
city, and who were never within the
walls of an opera house or thester in
their lives, and never manifested any am
bition or desire to form one of the audi
ences of these places of entertainment.
But now they are intensely aroused
and interested in the issue of suit
brought by fashionable and aspiring
quadroon against our principal opera
house, for excluding him from the par
quette OF the establishment, which is al
loted exclusively to white persons, an
other part of the house being assigned
exclusively to persons of color This is
regarded as a great wrong and outrage to
the whole free colored race of New Or
leans, and hence their absence from
their various honest and respectable avo-
cations, to loaf around the court
house, crowd its lobbies, and obstruct
people who have serious matters in court
to attend to-as if their lives, their hap
piness, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor depended on forcing the fashy and
elegant Macsrty into the society of white
gentlemen, who decline the honor of his
association, and claim the right of select.
ing the company which shall be admitted
into the institution built, paid and main
tanned with their own money. We regard
this as one of those excesses and inso-
lences which have been instigated by the
white demagogues who live and thrive by
stirring up broils and enmities between
our white and colored population. Hay.
ing no taste for or interest in the opera,
these gracious agitators think it a fine
thing, a glorious achievement, to inter-
fere with the rights and pleasures of that
class of our citizens who attend and sup
port the opera and desire to preserve It |
as place of entertainment fit for their
families to attend, and free from the
tumult aud disturbances which will be the |
inevitable consequences of such attempts
as those of Maearty to force his way into
the parquette among white gentlemen.
These people are not content to give the
colored race all equal political, legal and
civil rights with the whites nay, to give
hem much larger rights and freedom
than are enjoyed by the great majority of
he white population, but they must put
il into their heads, and provoke and incite
hem to foolish suits, which can only
result in stirring up and keeping alive
lostilities between two classes, who, left
% themselves, would live together in
amicable and pleasant relations.
Thus these pestilent and unprincipled
lgitators manage to foster and excite
luarrels and conflicts between the white
Ind colored populations, and thereby
,reate materials which they cook up into
.eports and evidence to be presented TO
examining committees of Congress, in
