They report that Enrique Agramonte, Fran
cisco CASTILLO, Gaspar Betancourt, Diego Aguera,
and an American named Magnet, were the chief
leaders of the insurgents, and some of them had
embarked and fed from the country, after

insurgents had issued an order Furnishing with

Cespedes intends to leave the country. He
will be actively pursued. Anarchy, panics and

Some have raised the standard of revolt against

Christmas.

Tomorrow is Christmas the day of days ;
when the sublime harmonies which nine
teen centuries ago sounded on the plains OF
Bethlehem are echoed in the souls OF Chris
tian millions when the memory OF the
great Eyangel blu0ts the edge of bitter
sorrow when age drives cankering care
away, and youth beholds a myriad hopeful
CLEANS in the uncertain vistas OF the future !!
For five years the South has struggled to
heal the wounds OF horrid war. The people
have worked with dogged energy that they
might wrest fortune from the iron teeth OF
adversely. 1t is true that the prospect is
not as bright as when the summer heats
ripened the slvered soil. But the people
know their power. Blows and buffets have
strengthened their moral fibre. They have
learned the sweet uses of ailliction. They
feel that, in Gods good time, self-reliance,
self-reverence and self-control will give them
the crowning victory.
Yet the thronging memories OF four years
of carnage are not obliterated hy the events
of five years Of peace. In every breast there
lngers the remembrance OF martyred saints,
Tho, in the flush of manhood or with the
SHOWS OF winter on their brow fought and
bled under the cleaning banner whose stars
have faded from our sight-whose cross we
would glally bear forever. These knightly
soldiers-our comrades, our brothers, fathers,
sons-taught the South, by their death,
lesson of endurance and fortitude, of cour-
ageous perseverance and unsellish devotion,
whose fruit will live whatever else may die.
Cheerfully as We may, then, let US turn
to the Christmas merry making. 1t is a
season OF Kindness and love; OF charity aud
peace. Tie poor have peculiar claim;
they depend upon their prosperous neigh
bors for their Christmas festival. And this
is the time when the SHINING and the sinned
against may pluck the bitterness from their
hearts, and forgive as they expect to be for
given. For them who cherish luminosity and
nurse their anger, however just it seem,
there is no happy Christmas.
Faith in Providence, hope for the future,
charity towards all mcn-lhesc are the
Christmas gifts which will, we trust, be found
on the morrow in every home in the State.

Thank God ior this returning anniver-
sary-llappy, happy Christmas; the season
Of all others that lights not only the fire OF
hospital y in the hall, but the flame OF
charity in the heart; the season that wins US
back to the deiusions of childish days, re-
calls to the old man the pleasures OF his
youth. and warns the lireside with memo
ries of the tender. and the true. Yes, it is
the only anniversary in all the year not
forced upon mankind by proclamation; the
only one which, in the lessons OF the hour,
teaches more of human sympathy and Chris
tiau love than half the homilles ever written
by half the divines that have ever lived.
That man must indeed be misanlhroplc
sinner, who, apart from the veneratlon due
to its sacred pane and origin, can think OF
Christmas time as any other than good
time-a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant
time-when men and women seem, by one
consent, to open their sealcd-up hearts and
think of the people around them as il they
really were low-passengers to the grave.
What sweeter thought, too, than that there
is al least one day in the year when you are
sure OF being welcomed wherever you go, and
of having, as it were, the world thrown open
to you. True, the past may be hung in nnourn-
ing. Vacant chairs may he around the fire.

may no longer lightly print the ground;
father, mother, brother, sister or husband
may bc celebrating their eternal Christmas

looks OF friendship that shoue so brightly
once have ceased TO glow; the hands we
urasped have grown cold; the eyes We sought
have hid their lustre in the grave; yet there
will come TO US tomorrow "glad tidlnSs" oil
even these vino have gone before. The Old
home, the room, the merry faces, clrcun-
stances the most minute and trivial, will
crowd upon our mind rs if the last assem-
blase had heen bat yesterday; hope will
build new fires upon the altar OF the heart,
and love will gather there to be renewed In
the fresh and genial warmth.
Let Christmas, then, be fruitful in its joys.
Let the averted faces with which we have
met old friends be changed to smiles. Among
