Beale, Esq, took place yesterday afternoon
from his late residence, No. % Free street.
There was large attendance of the business
men of the city, as well as the immediate
friends of the deceased. The services, which
were conducted by the Rev. W. FL.
Fem, were very impressive, in the course of
which he paid high tribute to the character
of man whose life has been worthy of the
emulation of all. Mr.. Beale will be sad loss
to the mercantile community. At the close of
the services the remains were taken to Ever
green Cemetery for interment.

WEST INDIES.


WASHINGTON, Sept. ia southern gentle
man who is visiting Cuba for the purpose of
ascertaining the state of affairs there for him
self and friends, writes from Cardenas under
date of Sept. LIST, as follows:
The news of the recent successes of the Gu
bans near Puerto Principe, Sagua la Grande
and Las Tunas, has given an impetus and new
life to the patriot cause which will prove ire
sistible. The enthusiasm of the Cubans knows
no bounds. They are rising en- masse and
fockiDg to the lberating army by hundreds.
The Spaniards openly assert that the revolu-
ton will be successful, that the Spanish force
is almost destroyed, and that Spain cannot
send sufficient reinforcements to regain the
positions lost by these battles. 1t is reported
that the Cubans in lhese engagements fought
with great determination and daring and
showed a discipline equal to regular troops.
The Spanish troops everywhere are democrat
lied They have no confidence in their sol-
diers. Many OF the regulars are known to
sympatb r. with the Cubans. The revolution,
1 honestly believe, will succeed, aud the indie
pendence of Cuba will be attained. The out
people by the volunteers and their friends are
of the most revolving character, and exceed
even those perpetrated by the Indians on the
frontiers of the United States. Everywhere
evidences of these outrages can be seen, build
ings burned, churches destroyed and hundreds
of harmless, starving wanderers. This once
beautiful and luxurious island is now barren
waste, and should the war be prolonged six
months it will be almost uninhabitable Even
now all along the Eastern coast of the island
the people are on the very verge of starvation
and are dying by hundreds from diseases SUI
perindueed by want.
