The New York S,.i, SAYS:

For an utterly suppressed revolution. the
Cuban one seems to be doing pretty well.
A Nuevitas letter, dated the first instant.
informs US that on the previous day more
than two hundred wounded Spaniards were
brought IN from San Miguel de Baga, a small
place opposite Nuevitas, on the other side OF
the bay. They came by land and were ac-
companied by lot of carts, which were not
allowed to enter Nuevitas. The carts are
said to have contained the bodies of the
slain. These places, it must be borne III
mind, are both in the much pacifed district
of Camaguey, which De Rodas left, q ID Nd-
poleon, to fight SPANS enemies in Havana.
The killed and wounded are credited to
Colonel Ryan: but at the date of the letter
no details could be obtained. The persist
eney Of these rebels is extraordinary; no
sooner had the Spaniards evacuated San
Miguel, than the Cubans entered and burned
it-fOr the third time.

Church Case.
Thomas Peterson vs. Charles Washington

tofore reported, came up for trial yesterday.
1t appears that the plaintiff is the pastor
of Zion Travellers Church, in CarrOlltOn,

Having no church building for the latter
congregation, plaintiff AYERS that he pro-
cured contributions and built church
called Mount Olive Church. This church
was taken possession of by the defendants,
and this suit is brought to test the title
thereto.
A proposition was made for a compromise,
under which the contestants were to
have the privilege of preaching al
ternately in Mount Olive Church This was
agreed to after much and long consultation
between counsel and the parties Htlgant.

A LARGE NUMBER OF PRUssIAN SOLD IERs
Breslau. II appears that three companies
OF the Tenth regiment were returning from
the exercising ground IN the Burgerwerder,
and while crossing the Oder III the ferry
boat, another barge full of soldiers run
against it with great force, precipitating
the men into the river, where the current
was running with great violence. The
men in the ferryboat, in endeayoring to
save their comrades, rushed to one side, by
which it was capsized, and in a moment the
whole of the five hundred soldiers were
immersed and struggling for their exist
ence. Though they were all good SWIM
mers. they were so impeded by their arms
and accoutrements-being In heavy march
ing order-and so confined by want of
space for free action, that a great many OF
them sank to rise no more. Fortunately,
the crew Of timber barge lying near the
spot, with great presence OF mind, launched
a number Of spars and boards, which many
of the soldiers We're able to grasp, and
thourh carried down a long way by the
current thew ultimately effected landing.
More than twenty of the men were dragged
ont of the water in a senseless conditions;
but as many OF the army surgeons mad has
tened down to the scene Of the accident,
they were all restored to HE with the ex-
cenYion of three. The swimming master of
tbe regiment was occupied for long time
afterward in diving and bringing up, a
number of muskets, helmets. knapsacks,
and other military paraphernalla.

GARRoTERs ABoUT.-Late Monday night,
as DR.. Palmer, % planter from the coast,
was passing along Royal street, within one
square of the Bismarck saloon, he was gar
rated and robbed of $3.50. He had that day
drawn the money from the Bank of New Or
leans, and afterward stepped into Mr..
Grunewald's music store, Canal street,
where he counted the bills, placed them
in an envelope and deposited all in one Of
his pockets. In the evening he visited a
relative on Terpsichore street, and it was
while on his way to his lodgings that the
attack was made. Before he was aware that
anv person was near him, he was seized by a
strong man who strangled him, while a
second party struck him a heavy blow on
the head, knocking him senseless.
While on the banquette and unconscious
the highwaymen stole all his valuables.
The doctor distinctly remembers seeing
several men, not more than square Oft, at
the time he was attacked. One OF the
assailants forced his hand into the doctors
mouth, breaking two teeth. Although this
outrage was perpetrated last Monday night,
ct we have failed to obtain single item
Of the occurrence at police headquarters.
We are unable to understand why such a
vile transaction should be kept secret. No
