Havana, Sept. 6, via Key West, Sept. 7, and
Lake City, Fla., Wept. 8. The cigar makers of
this city are making earnest endeavors to
lndnce all among their Cuban workmen to act
'unanimously, and declare themselves on a
strike, not for higher wages in one sense of the
word, but for the return of the pay they were
receiving in the early part of the year, before
tbe new tax law went Into force At that lime,
onacoountof a lull in tbe export trade, they
allowed their employers to reduce ther wages.
Dow that tbe aloresaid cause is removed, and
that they find themselves obliged to pay double
for necessaries, as everything is increased in
value, they consider themselves Justified in
providing for their needy families. The city
authorities take sides with the wealthy em
ployers In grinding down the poor to a starving
rnndliion. and the Governor comes out with an
order, enjoining It upon the former not to take
nv oneiatives. unless provided with a certifi
cate from tbe police ward, admonishing them
that they shall be held responsible for tailing to
report every application, made demanding
blgher wages, and to be, dealt with as a dis
turber of the public peace for the offense. The
Diario and prensa, as worthy advocates of dea.
potisra, endorse this resolution aa a wise act,
showing the right spirit in our Governor. All
can be ascribed to the reforms lately inaugu
rated here.
The split In the management of the people's
Journal, tbe Stylo, is confirmed. The retiring
member, Mr. J. de Cespedes, is said to be con
templating tbe aocepianceof an otter from the

such as tbe appointment of Mr. J. R. de Luna,
Who is well known in Mew York, to the ad
ministration of the paper's affairs.
Tbe Captain-General bas forbidden tbe trans
mission of any messages throuith the cable to
Key West until the line is opened to the public.
Accounts from Key West aunounce the Narva
as waiting for the weather to moderate before
laying the cable at Key West. The line to
Punta Rasa has been thoroughly tested, and Is

British Preparations for the March from
India tneen Victoria's Reply to Kins;
Theodore Ills Love Letters Answered
with Kitted Uuns.
TheEng lsh preparations for the Abyssinian
campaign had fairly begun.
On Monday, the 25th of Anguat, the depart
ments In Woolwich Arsenal received instruc
tions from the War Department to occupy
themselves In the arrangements for furnishing
the expedition, which ia to be despatched from
India with the slightest possible delay.
The seven-pound rifled guns for mountain
warfare would shortly be ready for shipment,
and two additional batteries of steel guns on
the same principle were in preparation. The
weight of each gun will not exceed one hun
dred and fifty pounds. Twelve carriages, also
of steel, for their equipment, are to be made.
The weight of each carriage, without wheels,
will be less than one hundred pounds, and
tbey will thus be available for transport lu the
most rugged and difficult passes of the enemy's
country.
The expedition will be under the chief com
mand of Major-General Napier and Brigadier
General Stavely.
The Ixindon Post says the foroos employed
will comprise all branches of the service. The
infantry will consist most probably of two of
her Majt sty's regiments of the line, and eight
regiments of native Puujoubuo Infantry. The
cavalry will be composed of aboutslx regimen is
of Indian irregular troops, while the artillery
will include, besides mountain guns, two but
teries of royal artillery.
It is reported that the Viceroy of E?ypt had
been requested to provide five thousand camels
for the necessary transport of the British troops.
THE DANO-GERMAN QUESTION.
Danish Feeling Towards Bchleswljr.
The Fadreland, of Copenhagen, says a ban
quet was given on the 25lh of August by the
members of the Danish Military Club, at whloh
tbe King of Denmark, the Crown Prince, and
the Czarewltch of Russia were present. The
Danish Minister of War made a speech, la
which be declared all bis efforts had been de
voted towards the formation of an organized,
well-equipped, and enthusiastic urmy, in order
to be in readiness when the moment should
arrive for reoonqueiing the territory which
Denmark bad lost. The King looked very
serious during tbe delivery of tills speech, and
later in the evening his Majesty had half aa
hour's conversation with the Minister of SVar.
FRANCE.
Napoleon's Speeches The Return from
Salzburg and Popular Rejoicings by
the Way Ills Majesty Defines Ills
Position What France Wants and
What She Defends.
By the steamship City of Baltimore we have
written mail accounts of the reception accorded
to Napoleon and Eugenie In the manufacturing
districts of France on their return from Salz
burg, with reports of the speeches delivered by
the Emperor at Arras and Lille, wliioli nave
been already summarized In our cable des
patches. The report says: Napoleon, while en route to
Paris, on bis return from Ualzbnrg, had been
making speeches lu some of the provincial
cities which attract attention. In response to
an address from tho Mayor of Arras he said:
You are right to have confidence in the future.
It la only weak governments who seek in
foreign complications to divert attention from
troubles at home. But he who derives hla
strength from the great body of the nation bas
only to do his duly and to satisfy the perma
nent interests of the country; and, while hold
ing aloft the national flag, we should not allow
ourselves to be drawn away by intemperate
Impulses, however patriotic they may be.
I thank you for the sentiments you have ex
pressed towards the Empress and our son. Be
assured that they share my devotion for
France, and that their most ardent wish ia to
put an end to all misery and alleviate all mis
fortunes. Despatches from Lille state that tbelr Majes
ties were received la that town with eut.au
siasm, and passed through the streets and
boulevards in an open carriage.
The lollowing is tbe text of the reply made by
tbe Emperor to the address presented by the
Mayor of Lille. He said:
When some years ago I came for the first
time to visit the Department of the Nord, every
thing smiled upon my wishes. I had just es
poused tbe Km press, and, I may say, I had also
fust wedded France, before eight millions of
witnesses. Order was restored, political pas
sions were lulled to rest, and I foresaw for the
country a new era of greatness and prosperity.
At home the union existing among all good
citizens presaged tbe peaceful dawn of liberty
abread. I suw our glorious flag protecting every
cause of civilizing Justice. During the last four
teen years mauy of my hopes have been realized,
and ereat progress bas been accomplished. Dark
spots, however, have darkened our horizon; but
even as good fortune has not dazzled me, so
transient reverses will not discourage me. How
should 1 be discouraged when I see from one
end of France to the other the people meeting
the Kmrress and myself witn acclamations, lu
which are nnceasl ugly associated the name of
our son. 'l o-cioy i uia not come nere only to
celebrate a glorious anniversary in the capital
of ancient Flanders. I also come to learu
your wants, to heighten the courage of
some, to confirm tho confidence of all,
and to enaeavor to increase tne pros-
Jierlty of this great department by still
urther developing its agriculture, manufac
tures, and commerce. You will aid me, gentle
men, In this noble task, but you will not forget
that tne nrst conaitionoi tne prosperity or a
nation like ours Is to possess the consciousness
of its own strength, and not allow itself to be
depressed Dy imaginary tears, but to rely upon
tbe wisdom and patrlotlsmof the Government.
The Empress, touched by the sentiments which
you express, unites witu me in manning you
for your warm and sympathetic welcome.
The London Xietvs says the Emperor Napo
leon's reported speeches at Arras and Lille
make a very welcome and desirable sequel
to tbe unreported conversation at Salzburg,
and trusts tbey will succeed in allaying the irri
tation of the Prussian press and the suspicion
of the German people.
The London Timet remarks that though the
expressions In tbe Emperor's two speeches
nave tne usual vagueness oi tne imperial style,
tbey are undoubtedly peaceable In their tenor.
The language of a part of the Frenoh press elves
sulUcient reason that warlike Intentions should
be explicitly denied, and the j-iondon Tones
believes that tbe Emperor's sincere wish was
to remove the disquietude that bis recent Salz
burg journey bad caused. It would be to belie
his baacltv to believe that he intends to pre
cipitate a g'lganllo conflict with forty millions
of Germans.

lieati uuaranieea.

Austria. Franco, and England, pro
bably also other governments, are united in
their policy, wuicu may oe eiuuiueu up m tue.io
terms: Respect for the treaties of Paris and
Prague, nothing more, nothing less. This policy
bas nothing aggressive or ambitljus in Its char
acter whloh could excite Russia or Prussia, or
of which they couia complain, n, aa we nope,
these powers are resolved not to depart from
the stipulations of treaties they have signed, It
is of a nature to consolidate tbe peace of Europe,
and render war perilous for those ambitious
powers who should act against It.

Georgia Registration Increase
of the

Atlanta, Ga,, Sept. 4. The work of regis
tration in Georgia Is nearly completed, and
tbe results to this date are aa follows:
Whites. 89.892: Colored. 83.082. Total. 183.574.
Colored majority, 8710.
it is not supposed mat tne entire registration
In Georgia will equal 188,000. It la well known
that not all the Ireedinen entitled to registra
tion have registered, but counting them only
at 63,600, and multiplying by five (too low a
rate), to obtain the total negro population, it
gives us ltiH.000, exceeding by nearly 3H00 the to al
colored (slave and free) population of Georgia In
I860. These figures must be highly consolatory
to men persons as the Georgia correspondents
of some Northern Copperhead sheets, who have
lately been wringing their hands In anguish
over the and fate of nearly one-half of our black
population, "the victims of Emancipation aud
the Freedmen's Bureau," demanding. In a
paroxysm of pseudo-philanthropy, an account
from this radical Congress. The black popula
tion of Georgia is larger than herein stated
much larger not to mention the notoriously
large emigration of (reedmen from Goorglu t'
Mississippi out of Florida. Such Georgia cor-ret-poudents

Let the President Kesign!
Tbe political war has at length reached that
point where a strong, bold movement on the
part of President Johnson is the only thing that
will restore tbe country to peace and prosperity.
The radicals have struck blow after blow at all
the intelligence of the country, until tbey
threaten to level It with the vilest staudartl that
tbe land can produce. To obtain political vic
tory it matters not bow many cherished
principles they trample under foot; how
many safeguards of our republicanism they
tear down; how thoroughly they obliterate
every element or stability in the count ry; how
near to. the verge of military despotism they
drive the car of state. They are bent on win
ning tbe race for party, and they have sunk
country far in the background, as a considera
tion of little Importance in comparison. To
defeat them, to restore our republican insti
tutions, now becomes with us the mighty
Sroblem. To do this we must dive down
elow the radloal froth, and in a deeper cur
rent seek safety in the almost burled common
sense of the people. To make the people feel
tbe full Import of that which rests bo heavily
upon them, Andrew Johnson should resign and
appeal to them. Let blui resign, and demand
that a convention of all t he States be called to
take measures against this political ruin that
Congresa la hurling against the republic. Let
him tell tbe people thufc he finds it impossible
to resist entirely this attempt of Cougiessto
assume dictatorial power and Inaugurate a new
revolution. Let him show to them the political
?lcture as it exists commerce wrecked, the
'reasury Department In ruins, the revenue ad
ministered for the benefit of those who hold the
offices, the wealth of the nation squandered, an
exhaustive Indian war on baud for the benefit
of agents and contractors, half the States uuder
military dictatorship, the other half threatened
witb a similar government, corruption every
where, vice making a throne of virtue, and the
country driving madly through tbe same politi
cal phases that preceded the French revolution.
Are the people prepared for all this? Are they
prepared to see the negro element set up at
auction as the instrument through which the
unprincipled politicians may ride into power?
Do tbey taste the bitterness lu advance of what
such a future haa lu store for tbem? If they
do not, then Is the country already dead, aud
naught but a long night of anarchy and
revolution can awaken it from its lethargy.
The negro to shapo our political future! to
drive our great republic to Us destiny! Are
we so lost to all respect of race and brain
power that we can settle down before this
radical Idol, aud see in Its blackness the glory
ot the land, instead or its ruin 7 Let Mr, Jobu
son look to this, and let him rise to the de
mands of the time by throwing himself into
the arms or the people, who, nauseated with
this radical rule, are ready for a chauge and a
reaction which will restore health aud visor
to tbe land. The President, leading la the
movement, may form a new party, and.
through tne overwneiming votes oi tne inteiii-
rence of the country, be restored totbeexecu
ive power. The country wants In such a party
no narrow platform of faction, but the great
and broad elements of action that will
restore the nation to Its former vigor,
Finances and progress must be the moving
forces. The Rebellion must be fonrotten. and
universal amnesty must cut the South aloof
from the proconsulshlps that threaten to ad
vance northward. Tbe radicals must be taught
that mere is something besides party ambition
for the spoils to give motive power to a political
faction. Tbey must learn, too, that the nation.
In a terrlule reaction, will hold them to account
for the desolation whloh for two years has
marked tbelr political track. The nearo, too.
tilled with raise ideas or the role be is to play
in the future, must be placed on the level of his
Intellectual ability; aud with every guarantee
of freedom, let him work hla way npwards to

ment for Mr. Johnson to seize fortune at the

From Fortress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, Sept. 7. At a late meeting
ot oj8termen held In Norfolk.fa committee was
appointed to wait upon General Schodeld in re
ference to the recent ojster law, which has
given rise to so much dissension and trouble
since Its passage by the Virginia Legislature,
principally from the fact that the mode of col
lecting the tax on the oysters was accomplished
without system or correctness. The committeo
design placing their views before General 8cho
tleid, and expect by his decision there will in
future be but one tax to be paid in addition to
tbe specific tax. The great diiliculty in the pre
sent law, aud of which the oystcrmen have com
plained, Is that many vessels are deserfinor the
waters ot Virginia, which they formerly visited,
giving an impetus to the trade and brightening
up business of all kinds, and now frequent the
Maryland waters, where there ia no other than
the specific tax imposed on the labors of this
enterprising portion of tbe community. The
heavy tax imposed by the law on all vessels en
gaged In catching oysters, or in the trade, has
tbe effect of limiting the operations and de
stroying the labors of the hardy Virginia oyster
men. A grand regatta takes place on the 11th Inst.,
on the Elizabeth river, to test the speed ol
several competing yachts. An exciting race is
expected.
A wrecking company are now actively engaged

Marriage Festivities In India.
SPECIMENS OF ORIENTAL HYPERBOLE.
The festivities at the recent mnrrlaga of Sln
dla's heir In India are described in the Gwalior
OatrUe. Tbe following is a translation of the
report:
"The ceremony of the holy 'pooja' was per
formed with a thousand festivities and delight
In tbe following manner: About an hour before
sunset the bridegroom left the royal palace for
the pnrf o e of performing the ceremony of the
holy 'pooja.' lie was mounted on an elephant
with embroidered trappings, embellished with
jewels ar.d diamonds, and a canopy of beaten
sold. Tbe procession, consisting of the nobles
and officers, all on elephants, high as mountain,
in a semi-circle behind the bridegroom, the
cavalry with their comely accoutrements, the
battalions in their gay regimentals, the batter
ing trains of artillery, spearmen and bannermon,
followed the bridegroom through Dowlut (iunj,
and the new bazaar, to the palace at the Kum
poo. The cavalry, battalions, and artillery,
posted in separate squadrons, and parties from
tbe palace at the Kumpoo to tbe new bazaar,
performed the ceremony of salute.
"A court in the palace at tbe CumDoo, which
for the clear resplendence ot Its floor and tuo
brilliancy ol Its furniture might bo comoired
with the ninth heaven, and which was brighter
than noonday, fiom the number of chandeliers
aud lustres, was transformed into tbe ball-room
of indur by dancing and music, and every one
was immersed in jollity an 1 delisbt. On the
west side of the court a terrace, witb gorgeous
embellishments, had been erecicd for the Tba
koorjee (mcarna ion of Vislinoo the preserver),
and was surrounded with chandeiieis and lus
tres. In front of thii terrace, on one side, a
magnificent cushion hud been fitted up tor the
Maharajah, and a seat for ihe bridegroom ou
the other.
"Meanwhile the triumphal procession of her
most serene highness the Maharanee Chunna
Kaja(on elephants) passed through the Surraf i,
and reached the parade gronud at the Kumpoo.
After receiving a similar salute from the cav
alry, battalions, and artillery, her highness
honored with her presence another grand
court of the palace, wblch had been most ele
gantly furnished with the best furniture. Tbe
courtiers paid their respects, and dancing and
music continued. In the other courts costly
dresses and ornaments ot immense value were
presented to his most puissant and fortunate
highness tbe Maharajah, the bridegroom, and to
Bulwunt Kao Khva Sahib, on the part of the
father of the bride. The ceremony of 'poola'
then commenced, and a ealute was tired when it
was over. Utter and pan were then distributed
among those present.
"Tbe bridegroom then left the palace at the
Enmpoo on "an elephant, followed by other
elephants with the above-mentioned nobles In a
semi-circle. A salute was instantly tired, and
fireworks were let off with great noise and
velocity. The artiflcial trees on the pasteboard
? gardens looked blooming with blossoms, and
oaded with different kinds of fruit. The bril
liancy of tbe tale found fault with the rays ot
the sun, and Pleiades blushed with shame at
tbe goreeousness of tbe floral pasteboards.
Salutes were fired when the procession reached
the Jinsee. Tbe noise of the fireworks caused
the buds to smile and open, and the noon
became ashamed of herself at tbe excellence ot
'Anars' and 'Mehtabees.' "
Sba Island Cotton. The Charleston Aler
cury of September 2 says the caterpillar is very
active on the coast of Carolina and Georgia.
Many planters have given up their orops in
despair. The Florida plantations are peou
liariy unfortunate. Along with the cater
pillars they have had very heavy rains, and
the cotton in many places is running.
