News from tho Camp % the Cuban
Insurgents.
The HERALD commissioner In Cuba, as we
learn by special cable despatch from Havana,
visited the camp of the insurgent leader
Agramonte ON Thursday last he left Vista
Hermosa accompanied by two guides and
without arms on the 9th instant. After travel
ling six miles he fell in with Enrique Ell
Americana and other insurgents, who. after
hearing his story separated him from his
companions and led him alone to- the head
quarters of Agramonte. Three miles in
advance of the headquarters he met a
picket guard of eight white men and
about one hundred negroes. The
former were dressed only in pantaloons
and the latter were for the most part inde-
pendent of even that article Of clothing but
whether for comfort or from necessity does
not appear. AT the headquarters our COM
missioner was received with some evidences Of
suspicion, the explanation for which is said to
be that the revolutionists did not like the
prospect of General Grants reelection. They
evidently regard the action of the administra-
ton up to the present time as unfriendly to
their cause, and were looking to advantages
from a change in the federal authorities.
Although disappointed in this, it is probable
that they may yet find reason to rejoice at the
success Of General Grant in the light of his
second term of Office.
The caution of the revolutonists probably
prevented our commissioner from gaining any
full intelligence Of the movements, condition
and prospects Of fAgramonte's army but from
the picket guard he learned that the horses
and equipments were in q fair condition, but
that ammunition was scarce. The food supply
is ample meat vegetables, and oranges and
lemons in abundance. They have no coffee,
however, and are compelled to console them
selves with hot water. sweetened with honey,
as beverage, which they render pal
atable by bestowing upon 1t the name
of 'sCuba ibre." No doubt they drink
in it confusion to the Spaniard and long
life to the Republic, and make up in enthu-
siasm what their beverage lacks in strength.
From these few facts we can form some idea
of the spirit that animates the brave men
who have been for over four years struggling
for their freedom and holding out through
oil manners of trials and sufferings against a
well-organized and thoroughly equipped
army II is n9t ip success, but in adversely,
that the fidelity of men to cause is the
most thoroughly tested. The Cubans deserve
their independence, and nation resolved to
be free cannot be held in subjugation. The
further proceedings of our commissioner will
be watched with interest by the American
people.

The Philadelphia Record says :-Thcre is,
perhaps, slight Improvement in the tone OF
the coal market. Orders are, however, ex,
tremely limited, and there is no disposition on
the part of buyers to anticipate their future
needs. Indeed, the tendency in the coal trade
as in most others, is to gradual change, and
instead of being confined to few months IL
the year. is spread over the whole period. IL
the Sehuylkill region many of the operators are

While the discussion is going on in this coun-
:ry as to whether Sanlcy did actually discover
DR.. Livingstone, the doubt is about to be solved
by "Mr. +. Hepple Hall, of the Universities
Club, in Jermyn street, London, who has made
the spirited offer to lead fresh expedition
gratuitously to Ujiji. Ele undertakes to search
out DR.. Livingstone wherever he may be IN
Central Africa and if necessary to remain with
him, and aid him in the accomplishment OF his
great work if the Royal Geographical Society
accord him the protection usually accorded to
a British subject, the necessary transport to
Zanzibar and the requisite outfit thence into
the interior" We hope, for the sake of sui
ferug humanity that Mr.. Hall will go to
Central Africa and bring DR.. Livingstone
home, dead or alive The controversy now
going on has become stale, flat and unprohta'

pounds of teeth-would have required mouth
not much smaller than the Mammoth Cave.
