gbo will do more Of the general
~ork of journalism. and do it better,
thar any man connected with the
New York press; the test to include
every grade of service from the
print ing-oHiee to the sanctum; to be-
sin vith the type-setter and end with
She ohief editor. and to skip none of
the intermediate stages of local re-
porting, short hand reporting. &c. >
We presume that Little Mack" is
ehe editor aforesaid, who is able to do
10 much, and do it better than any
New Yorker, or any other man. The
New York Standard proposes to &C
cent he bet on the part of the New
York press. and stand good for its
share. It kames DIR. Howard as the
representative of the New Yorkers.
Neither paper, however. suggest any
plan by which the merits Of these
champions can be tested. IF manu-
aaeturing bogus Washington dispatch
Is be the test, we bet our money on
Mack" In that department he is
Without-a peer.

The opening argument of the defence in
the Roswell trial, which may be found in
our columns this morning, is an able pre-
sentation of the case, similar to the de-
fence in the Sickles, Cole, and Nc
Farland cases. 1t was conjectured
that the counsel for the prisoner would
adopt this line of defence, hence the
peculiar interest in the trial. The re-
suit will be looked for with good deal
of curiosity, as there is an important prin-
ciple involved, in the issue upon which
there is sharp division in community.

satisfactory to know that its advantage.

Progress OF the Cuban War-The SPAN

The advccs which our Havana correspon.
dent furn shed us on the goth ult., and which
we published ON the 25th, stated that
Gen GoYgNEcuE had left Puerto Pr incipe on
his return there from his three days' cam.
paign toward Naiasa, and had nt once re.
turned to his original starting point, Santo
Espirtu.
BY tho most anxious and interested of
Cuban symrathilers this very important
news, which implied nothing less than the
surrender of the Whole OF Cainagucy TO the
patriots, was received at first with suspi-
cion that the news was too good to bc true.
The truth, however, is that Spain has since
PUELLo's defeat learned that the sword is
no longer a useful weapon n her hands, aud
has contented herself with wagng war with
tho tongue and the zen

cipe, not only did lie not dare TO tarry IN that
otY from fear that Santo Espirtu-ncws of
the siege of which city had reached him
would be captured but we are now informed
that the whole Cinco Villas district has fallen
into the hands OF the patriots, and that the
Spaniarls have been ordered from Havana to
evacua'c the entire district OF Camaguey. III
,roves that Tie instruction is not slowly, but
rapidly extending westward, into the very
heart of the gorgeous and prolific npricultu
raj part of the island. The jur sdctions
of Colon, Cardenas, and Matan2as, lying ada
cent TO the surrendered district of the Cnc1
Villas. contain numerically about one-third of
the sugor estates of tho ISLAND but on them
IL produced more than onc-half the main
staple Of Cuba.
The whole interior Of the Central and East
ern Departments is now freed from the yoke
and the presence of the Spaniords, aud the
patriots have commenced the task of pushing
their enemy of the island. On the 20th
nit. the insurgents, in q disciplined body Of
two thousand wellarmed men, occupied the
sugar estates Anton and Colmena, which adj

had surrendered himself TO the Government
and that he was on his road TO Havana for
the purpose Of comforting with the Captain. Gen
eral on a method Of terminating the insurrection
This man has from the outbreak of the revolu-
ton traded on the name Of his family. Some OF
his brothers have aided the Cuban cause in this
city and ON the island. One Of his brothers,
ArGrsrIY, was the first Command rim Chief Of
the Cuban army. lie chose TO take upon himself,
without any authority from the President, to seek
an interview with the Spanish General then com.
mandng in Puerto Principe for the purpose, as
he stated, Of settling TIE difficulty. lie went to
Principe under a Gag Of truce, which the Span
mrds violated by shooting him.
THIS NAPOLEON ARANGo has never been in the
Cuban army he was from the first looked upon
by the leaders of the revolution with much sus-
Picion, which, on the cumuaton of iurtho proofs,
terminated in his beng tried by Cuban court
martial on the charge Of reasonable correspond
euoe with the Spaniards. He was not shot, sole
y IN consideration of the services of his brothers.
In mc', he owes his life to ha political
suicide, aud to the unwillingness OF
the Cubans TO stain their virgin rs.
cutchcon with the blood Of a traitor
and what the spaniards aro pleased to term
surrender will probably turn out to be an en-
treaty from ARASGo TO the Spanards that they
would allow him TO accompany them IN their
abandonment Of Camoeuey, that he might thus
escape his much merited fate
