V FIBST EDITION O TJ H3 The Insurgents Ask Recognition from the Tniicd States as Belligerents. The Relations Between the Mother Courftry and the Colony-Outrages on the Island. "St. MiK(B, Fla., March 11. Colonel Stock loo, of Pennsylvania, arrived from the Cuban rebel ramps beating the enclosed message from the chief of the rebels to President Grant. After some delay and difficulty I procured the en closed copy, which rapid copying may have made slightly incorrect, The CoIodcI gives the moat encouraging accounts oP.ihe prospects and future of the rebels, bat his report will probably reach jou before this by telegraph: To His Excellency the President or the TJmtbd States Sir: The people or Cuba, of their Grand Supreme Civil Junta, and through their General-ln Chief, Senor Ceepedes. desire to submit to your Excellency tbe following among other reasons why your Excellency, as President of the United States, should acsord to them belligerent rights and a recognition of Ineir independence: Because Irom the hearts of nlneteenlwen tlethsol the inhabitants of the island of Cuba ro upptajerslor the success of the armies of the republic, and from tue sole and only want of arms and ammunition these patient people are kept under the tyranntcat yoke of Spain. The unanimity ot the masses of the people for the republic is oniinou9. Because the republic has armies numbering over 70,000 men actually la the field and doing duty. These men are organized aud governed on the principles of civilized warfare. The prisoners whom they take and so far they have taken three times as many as their ene mies have from them are treated In every raped as the prisoners of war are used and treated by the most civilized nations of the earth. In the hope ot recognition by the United States, they have never yet in a single instance retaliated death for daatb, even in rases ot tbe most provoking nature. QBecause the Spanish authorities have almost invariably brutally murdered the soldiers of the armies of the republic who have surrendered to them, and have recently issued an official order requiring their military forces hereafter in etantly to kill and murder every prisoner of the republic who surrenders. This is done, the order cheeriully tells us, "to save trouble and vexation to the Spanish civil authorities." This Is an outrage the civilized nations of the earth ought not to allow. Because the United States Is the nearest civil ized nation to Cuba, whose political Institutions strike a lesponsive chord in the hearts ot all Cubans. The commercial and financial interests of the two peoples being largely identical and reciprocal in their natures, Cuba earnestly ap peals tor the unquestionable right of recogui- i(Because the arms and authority of the repub. lie ot Cuba now extend over two-thirds of the entire geographical area of the island, em bracing a very great majority ot the population in every part of tbe island.

Aatotber Version onus Keueiei s-uerso yi-inelpe Sjmnlsn. Losses. Bavama. Msrcb 10. After the publication In the Gaceta of last night, giving the official ac count ol the "jornada" of Brigadier Lesca from Guansta to Puerto Principe, many other ver sions inereof bave been variously reported, all more or lets unfavorable to tbe Spaniards, more so than appears both from tho official organ and the viario de la Marina. One account states that "the insurgents were not cummaDded by General Quesada, ne being laid up by scarlet fever, but by Jdanuel de Arteaga Borrero and the Caitillos. The former owns all the land on Key Komsno. The Spanish troops attacked wiih valor, aid. under a deadly fire, passed to the other side of the sierra, by way of Jl'noioa. Tbey lost about two hundred men and sixieen officers hora oV combat. The insur ptnts formed palisade?, and while the Spanish troop?, with tbelr sappers, cleared the way, tbe former were completely riddled. But the triumph on the part of Ihe Government troops was entirely due 10 their artillery; the greoides did great mUchief to the enemy. The troops were thns enabled, though belterkel'er, to it ach ih other side, which is a plain quite un obstructed, and it was there whe-e tbe artillery, hao toll play. The column ot 503 men sent fiom Pueito Principe to Santa Cruz lor pro visions returned after the 26th, but lost tlfiy men on the way in one or more skirmishes." Another report, irom Spanish sources, states Ihe loss of the Government troops to have oseu oie hundred and eighty men, Including the ofli c rs, and, to complete, a levolulionarr source atesthattewof the troops got Into the to n O Punto Principe but weie only m the sub urbs oi that capital. The prisoners lodged In ths fortress complain very dlstresttnely or the accommodations or rather tbe ant of prooer treatment. Mtuyci of tbena have beeu ordered to ihe military boa plta, owing to tbe emotions that hive broken out on their persons. Don Miguel do Ktubil is onoltuem. It was this genil.-man the voluo teeis objected to leaving the fortra a few d tie Kim. Tne number of prisoners In thu rurtraai is not far from 700. We are told that thty will all be sent to Fernando Po, and tt is now st&tsd that as so shipauilexi And the terms efUred tor their conveyance suitable, the Government intends to send them in the Spaulsti war steamer Ciudad de Cadiz, in whico cao there will be no ne-d for volunteer to escort them to t lelr A'ncan dungeons. Bels tlonn Between Spain and the Cubans lie fotelgn mall hthigs the details of the proceedings of tbe Spanish Cortes ou the 22 1 ultimo, when the formal resignation of the Pro visional Government was recelwd. Tbe follow ing letter was read: ' To tho Secretaries ot the Cortes Constituents: To the Curies, detlultively constituted the Cortes who b nve to decree the political organlza- tu n of the nV.lon, be who subscribe in bis own name and In that of the ottier in llviduaU who compoe tho Provisional Gov.'rumeut, solemnly and respectf ully resiiroi Into its brenst tho powers which the Revolution confcrre. upon them, and which tbey have exercised s nee the 8.h October ln-t. "Kranotsco Serrano, "Madrid, Februry 22, 1869." Serrano (Dnke de la Torre) ma le a brief ad die bp, In tbe course of which be said: "Oh I gentlemen I thut there mnzht apnear amnng us a Washington, with as many virtues as that great man aud distinguished politician of the United States. Although It may be somewhat ol a digression, you must peroiit me to sive my thanks to each and all of my com panions, not for the patriotism they have dis placed, for a'l bave been as good pa rioti, as tbe brst, but for the amity, the deference, and tne consideration they bave sbown me, sba-iug with me my great responsibilities. All through my future lite I ask them to look upon mo as a brother, for the word 'friend' Is too poor to ex ruess my feelings towards them. To jou, Snores Deputies, I have only to sav tbnt I ask you that you will, as quickly as possible, constitute the country. Great crises, to be healthy, neces sarily should be retolved promptly. Ttie crisis through which we are passlnir is a great one, wboee prolongation will be highly dangerous, and it is necessary we should quickly emerge from it' General Prim followed Serrano with a long speech. He said: "Gentlemen 1 call upon you from the bottom of my heart, and in the name of the country which 1 love best in all the earth, to save and consolidate liberty. To do this, it is necessary you should reconstitute It quickly and rapidly. It will be less difficult if you do not lose time in sterile declamations, if you do not turn your eaze backwards to tbe sad past, and if you do not envenom your discussions with painful records and embittered recriminations. Liberty, order, and . union compose the great political trinity." There -is interesting news from Cuba. The Cuban Revolutionary Assemtly, which bas convened in tbe Genual Department, has de creed, by and with tbe advice and consent of tbe military commanders, the immediate and unconditional abolition of slavery. Official despatches report that a battle bas taken place at Mayarl, the headquarters of the rebel forces in the Eastern Department of Cuba. The Government account states that a column ot 600 regular troops, supported by a heavy ariillery fire, carried the fortifications of Mayarl, and captured the town, which was defended by 2000 insurgents.

The Georgia Senator Publishes n Carts; To the Editor Of N. Y. Tribune Sir: In yoar papt r of Saturday last, in referring to the aci'on of the Georgia Legislature on tbe adoption of tne iiiieentn constitutional araenament, yoa make what I consider an ungenerous allusion to myself. Yoa describe me as "hanging by the eyelids before the door of the Hente at Washington." etc. If you mean by this expres sion thai 1 vex the Senate as a body wlta my presence, or as inaiviauais oy my can or my letters, endeavoring to procure ad mission as a Senator, 11 is an unwarranta ble aspersion. I have not spent an hear In all wtib tbe Senate or Senators slnoe the recess In December, and but little time before that. I did, about the 1st ot December, call on Sena tor Sherman to request blm to present my cre dentials to tbe Senate. And although luvli.ed by several Senators to visit them, and fully appreciating the civility, I have thought it more dignified and independent not lo do so. Tbey will not charge me wiiu oosequiousness. I think I understand what It due to my own self respect. It will be time enough for yoa to lnsiruct me in manners wueu senators shall complain of mv Importunities.

I will merely say: I have not ventured to predict the action or uongress in regara to ueorgia or anything else. I bave my opinion as to tbe proper conrse to be pursued by Congress to se enre tbe best Interests of both Government and people, but while tbe present clrcamstanoes exist, i cannot expect it to innuenoe otners. and therefore do not urge 1L Kespectiuiiy yours, joshua nil Washington.
