himself voluntarily with thirty others to the
Spanish authorities.
The captain and crew of the brig Moonlight
from st. John for Matanzas, which was lost on

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The Cuban Junta has
issued q long address to the American people,
denouncing the statements received from Hav-
ana of the termination of the rebellion and
certain statements of Spanish officers, to show
the mendacty of Spanish reports of victories.
Also dispatches from the Cuban camps to Dec.
18th, state that the Cuban force was then about
10000 strong, well organized, though not as
well armed and equipped as could be desired.
The address also recites the action of the Gu
ban civil government to show that there is
regularly organized civil administration.
The address goes at length into the history
of the revolution, the barbarity of Spanish au-
thorities and forces and justifies the plan of
operations against the Spanish and the de-
struction of the plantations as a means of de-
stroying the Spanish power in the island.

he was the real author of the defalcation in the
Farmers and Drovers' Bank of Somers, West

was accused and confined in Jail. Oakley has
confessed that he charged the money on the
account of the country bank merely to cover
his own transactions. Hill has been liberated,
his entire innocence being apparent; but he
threatens legal proceedings for false imprison-
ment.

AURoRAL DIsPLAY.-We understand that
the finest auroral display ever witnessed in
this city was observed by those who were so
fortunate as to be stirring about o'clock yes-
terday morning. At that time streams of red
white and blue shot u p from all around the
horizon, centering at the zenith, their posi-
tions continually changing and presenting the
appearance 1--WE can think of no better SMILEY
of the first movements of the ''braiding of the
May-pole.' Soon after these toned down in
color and distinctions until the appearance
was that of an arc of white light extending
across the sky at the north, with white stream;
necessarily rising and falling, while above
rosy glow ebbed and flowed to the zenith
This magnificent spectacle lasted till daylight
