According to latest news Mr.. Henderson has
!eft Cuba with hea in his ear, and has embarked
nary Cuban President, Carlos Manuel Cespcdes.
This fact 10 greatly to be regretted as that con-
ScienttOus and honest Yankee might have had the
Kindness to find his address, so that could have
had the pleasure OF occasionally informing our
selves as to the state OF his health. The HERALD
speaks OF Spain and the South American republics
with as much knowledge and intelligence as II 1t
were discoursing about the social attributes OF the

OF truth the HERALD is the Titan OF Journal
ism ! Founded by man OF genius, destitute OF
wealth, but In whose soul burned the aspiration
Of fame, the subsequent independent conduct
his own creation the HERALD made 1t q universal
power OF good 1t stood in the order Of things that
an Independent organ Of this character, which did
not hesitate to treat social or general questions
with untrammelled views advocating the public
veal in all things, should have large and exten-
sive circulation. The paper soon became wealthy
yes, very wealthy; and, with all honor be 1t said
the wealth in question was not locked up in
miser's chest, but, on the contrary
generously applied to Q noble development OF the
interests OF the paper. Thousands upon thousands
OF dollars were expended in obtaining the earliest
telegraphc news for the benefit OF the whole world
Immense sums were expended in expeditions to
the heart Of Africa for the benefit Of science while
like enterprise has lately been planned and exc
cuted to show to the public what was transpiring
amid the mountain intricacies OF Cuba and which
subject In the existing state Of AFFAIRS is OF intense
interest to humanity In general. or truth this
latter exploit is one OF the proud achievements Of
the NEW YORK HERALD, and that paper, holding
at Its disposition immense resources, naturally OBJ.
talned talented individual Tor this expedition.
Millions OF the readers OF the HERALD attended
with the utmost impatience the report of Mr.. Hem
dersOn, the HERALD's special commissioner to
Cuba, and on the 10th OF this month the long de.
sired report made Its appearance. We regret more
tnan ever the limited space OF our paper, which
prohibits us the pleasure of reproducing in this
issue faithful translation OF this report, Speak

Dy Mr henderson. II Is difficult In brief allusiOn
IKE the present to convey to our readers the gem
which. we allude. The smallest details are
facts related not Of such truthful %e'1 nature sne
reader was perusing one OF the most thrilling
and interesting romances OF Alexandra Dumas.
In few days we shall publish several thousand
copies OF this graphic narrative.
our readers VIII doubtless remember that we
Mrp.n aaaed snort time ago to the exploits Of the
gathered In Cuba would be OF immense interest
and IN this prophecy we have seen o cOnfirma.
ti0n " alludng at present merely to the descrip-
i0n ne gives OF the scene OF the combat OF
vam0nes. henderson's expedition has been be-
yOnd doubt great success, and the opinions ex-
pressed by General Agramonte with reference 10
ths battle are OF deep interest.
. we also prOphesed that Ii was fmpossihIe that
Mr.. HendersOn'S views could be unfayorable m nmr
cause; as the patriot army was increased or di
minlshed IN various parts according TO the oYi-
gencies Of the moment while all was - -.
supreme further tho our men we're ore ey 90
sess WON -. ..,u and clothed, according to the ne.
cessites OF the situation that the patriot encamp-
ments were unstable, and that the war had to be
carried on pert0rce in the rugged, mountainous
districts selected by our men, In such an order OF
things our patriot forces have distinguished them
selves by their enthusiasm and bravery, attacking
sides, causing the Spanish troops to be kept con-
stanty on the alert and in movement, and for the
veracity OF this statement better evidence ia to
be found than in the crowded condition OF the
Spanish hospitals.
1t is undisputabe that the morale OF the patriots
stands nigh, and Mr.. Henderson has heard from
the mouths OF the Spanish officers that they are
ready to sacrifice their lives q thousand times
over In the holy cause Of liberty We rejoice greatly
we predicted, for he has seen President Cespedes
General Agram0nte, has cOnversed with them and
has fulfilled his task in every respect.
To conclude, Mr.. Henderson has gained great
h0nor BY the fortunate accomplishment OF his mis-
si0n while his report as before stated, is fmpar-
tia and he has achieved the audable result OF
throwing light and telling the truth on q subject
which has hitherto been but more or less clothed
In mystery.
