The Ileyolutioit as Seen by an Eye-Witncss-The Exact Con dition of the Insurgents. Iheir Policy and Moans cf War. Mr. Charles McCormack, who for several years has resided in the city of Pucito Prlnclpo, Ciibn, wbere lio was employed a master nia Shlnlst of a railroad, gives lbe;N. Y. iVrad the ai pu'ded account of the condition of things CD tbe Llands The oecupa'lon of the line of r Vilroad from Puerto I'rincl p to Nuevltas hiving left me without employment, I determined to retura to the United Biases. I procured the iiccesiry pnpers Irnm Co onel Mens, the Spanish Gov ernor of the city, and started wi'h a companion, on horteback, by land, on the 12th of February last. At that time the native male p-mulatlon, with the exception of the email children aud very old men, hud entirely left the city In conse quence ot the revolutionary movement. The native Spaniard", moly shopkeepers, hal en rolled themselves In tbe vrlnuteer corps, and were exceedingly bitter In their hostility to the Cuban, TheHe, with the small number of regu lar troops In the city, gave Colonel Mena a force 01 about 3000 men, well supplied wivh arms and ammunition aud a few field pieces. There had been a regiment of colored troops in the garrison, but these had nearly all desprlcl to the insurgent?, taking their arms with them. The roads leading fnto the town were all barri caded by the Spanish troops in the outskirts. Operations against the insurgents were confined to an occasional foray of the troops for provi sions and forage, which were usually made in strong force aud encountered little open resist ance though on every occasion they encoun tered a constant ambuscaded fire both in going from and returning to the towc Tte feeling of the natives of all classes is very decided for the revolution, and jouug and old. rich and poor, have cone into it. General Dulce'e proclamations of amnesty aud reform at firnt produced some effect, and many were in favor ot accepting them. Among these were ne, if not two, of the Arangos. and one of them had begun negotiations to that effect. For this purpose he had held communications with Col' nel Mens, aud appointed a dav when he would come lu unarmed under a flag of truce to confer with him. it was stated in Principe that Colonel kleua's orders to the squa t sent to meet Arango were to bring him the corpse of that rebel. The fact was that be was shot as toon as he approached the suburbs of the town, and tbe remains were hacked and disSgured alter death. This event stopped entirely tbe feeling in favor of accepting the amnesty and r' im' among tbe Cubans. The insurgent force fgathcred round Puerto Principe amoun's to about 7000 men, and I was Informed that 8000 more were holding the line of railway between that city and Nuevltas. They are very enthusiastic in the cause, but ara badly armed, and 111 supplied wlthamrauni tion. Their only cannon are a few pieces of iron pips well plugged and bound round with banded strips of tbe hard woods of the country. Every available instrument was applied to tbe making of a weapon for oJersive purposes, aud -a lance and machete short, heavy sword were the general armament. A few had breech loading rifles captured from the Spaniard, but the want of the proper ammunition rendered them of little service. An old-fashioned flint lock muzzle-loading niusfcet was the favorite arm, as it could always do service whether there were patent cartridges, percussion cap?, etc-, la camp or not. Whoever bad one of these priced it above all the patent arms to be had. There was but little orgunlza'lou among the forces of the revolution, altuouah General Q lesada was recognized as the chief la com mand. Every leader had rsed aud kept to gether what men he could, aud the camp seemed more like a gathering of private bands than a regular lorce. General Quecada was laboring to introduce regimental and brigade organiza tions. It was this reason, the absence of regular organization and military rule, which preveutei General Q jesada from attacking Puerto Principe, -which be could undoubtedly cap'ure if he could control his forec to as to bring them to act on a general plan. There ate many negroes among the Insur gent, ruo t of them froja the torns, or who were previously free Toe plantations have all stopped work, but tbe slaves have either gone Into the towns 10 sees protection, or ume ur.a into tbe woods, where they remain. Few or none of this class of the population elde with ihe Spaniards. ...,. The war is carried on by the Cubans more ai a gorilla war than by resular operation. Whenever a forca of Spanish troops appears svjvwbere tbo Cubans scatter from its front, and seek by ambascadlng bcUind trees and iu the thick woods to anuoy the troops and dimln Is i tbelr numbers. The great object among tha insurgents iu tbeee encounters is to get hold of tbe musket and knapsack of every one they can wound or kill. In this they will run extraordi nary iv ks. three or four running out from the bush at every Spaniard who falls. The Spanish troops generally behave well in these encoun ters, and whenever forced to halt or form during their march, will roundly abuse their unseen foes, styling them cowards, and calling upon them to come out of their tudii g places aud anew themselves. . The feeling among the Spaniards Is very bitter Indeed. Tbey formed almost entirely the trading population of the country, and every rossroad and country villasre was occupied with thslr shops. These are now abandoned wherever the iusurgents have appeared, and their owners have withdrawn to points held by tbe troops. Thus the c uintry is b ire of goods. At first a lenient policy towards the prisoners prevailed, but the Hpani-sh volunteers have now bt come to violent thatvthey sbo t nearly all hey capture, calling them leaders. At the time I wns with the insurgents tbey had not executed auy prisoners, but the feeling iu favor of retaliation was becoming very strong. "Ko regular civil, government exists in the dUr!ct9 held bv the ln-urgeuts, and no formal attempt has jet been made lo oruulze one. lu the Central Department General Ouettala's ami o Ky is respected, while In the eust Gene-r-il Cespedts Is looked upon as the leader.

Urg of the Myste rious Affair. Tbe city la again startled Ibis inornlnii by Cio rejKiitol another tragedy. Mystery envelops It, and opinion is divided as to whether It is a most flnudtnQ murder or a most singular mil elde. Tte views of lhe nnaoqnalutetl with snob matters-ordinary cltlxens.wlio are apt to be swayed by excitement appear to lnoliuu to tue belief that the former Htipposltlou Is the correct one; but then Ibexe views are oirwet hy those entertained by the detective orUceis and Coroner's olJlelals, accuatoraod lo look at things from the staudpolnt of common sense and experience, that the latter theory Is the one which will be ascertained t.o l)d txirae out by the facts la fact, that the deceased had, wltb Incredible deliberation, and In a highly sensational manner, committed fclo tictn. Wiin out expresing any opinion our own, prior t that full investigation of the rnaiter which, la sure of tatting plaoe, wo state the ctrcn nslau i ts of the recovery of the body, and what has s'nee been learned in relatloh to the afl'itir. The scene of the murder or suicldo, as H may be, is at tbe H. V. corner of Hixtti street and Uirard avenue, in a building Known as tiie '-Ulrard liall." Thejanltor of this hall, a vouug man twenty-eight years of age. named Joseph W. Smltb. was the victim. Last evening, about 7 o'clock, Le was discovered In the hall, bound band and foot, securely gagged, shot with a re volver lb rough tne nead. and stone dead. The hall had been engaged last evenlug for a meeting of the Presbyterian Trinity Mission, but was not lighted np at the usual hour, a cir cumstance which led to the first discovery of the tragedy. The parties who ocoupy the stores under the ball, uware of the babttof tbe de ceased to have everything in readiness for the meeilrigs wbloh are held tbere almost nightly, benches arranged, floors swept, and gas lighted long befoie tue hour for the meetlun arrived, and noticing, what, of course, could be seen from tbe street, thai all was dark: In tbe plaoe as evening closed, began to imagine that alt was not right. Ayonngmau named George Hamilton, em ployed at ttuotmaker's drug store, at tbe corner of Hixth and Ulrard avenue, waa then des patched, with a candle, np-stalrs to asoertaln If tbe janitor was about. He entered the place, tne doors all being open, and as soon as he passed the small ante room leading into the ball, discovered the body of Mr.Hmlth lying on a box, near the ante-room door, dead. Of course he at once hurried away, gave the alarm, and lo a short time returned wlt a number of other pt rsons. A closer examination was then made. It wsb found that tbe deceased bad been shot through tbe right temple; his face and the floor were covered with blood; his body lay stretched diagonally across a large box sta tioned under a window close by the ante-room door, or private entrance to the ball; the mouth was gagged witli a white handkerchief, at d a narrow red satin was drawn tnree times around the neck, holding the handkerchief fust, and t hen twisted; the bands were both securely bonnd wltb a narrow cord, levlng a space be tween Miem of about nine Inches; and the feet were bound in a similar manner at the ankles. Though tbe hands were olosely scoured as staled, yet It was evident, from the manner in which tbey were fastened, that It would have been no difficult matter to free them. The eord which bound them had lis one end wrapped several times around tbe wrist of one hand, its other end simply fashioned Into a noose, and slipped over the other hand. Tne gt-g of tbe month had been Blight ly pulled away. The feet were tied with a severed por tion of a rope which hung from a shelf Jnst over the body. The pants of the deoeased were torn nurofcs at the right knee; the head, drip plug with blood, bung ever the edge of the box, with a pool of blood on the floor Immedi ately beneath it; a four-barrel led Htiarp's re volver was found iyliirf on the box near the breast of the murdered, man; his hands were elevated above the pistol, and three of the barrels of the latter were iannu to be loaded, aiid one was discharged. The body was In a purtlally doubled-up position, aud was wrapped m a fancy-worked red and white counterpane. It was dlscoverei that tbe handkerchief need to gag tbe deceased bad one corner cnt oif, ns though to prevent tbe name written or worked on it from being discovered, and this handkerchief could not be recognised as belong ing to Mr. Umith. Again, apiece of a white linen shirt sleeve, w It u a wristband attached, to wniou was um xed a black and gilt sleeve-button, was picked np in the room by ex-Chief of .Detectives Litmou. It had evidently been torn forcibly from tne other portion of the sleeve. This pieoe of snlrl was not part ot that woin by Mr. Hmlth, f jr he bad a strlned one on, and a close search amoua the elleots ot tbe deoeased tailed lo discover lliu balance ol the shirt. The pockets or his coat were turned lnilde out. Blood was discovered on the door leading from the entry Into the iiiite-rcom, as also on seme portions of asm-ill bookcase wbloh stood lu this same ante room Tbe blood on tne Dooacase was in splatters. The tmckofoae of the bands of the deoeased wits blackened with powder-marKS, as If he had thrown it up to Intercept tne shot of the pistol which kllltd him. B40k of bis left er Chief Mulhollaud discovered a large contused wound. which, from Its appearance, looaeu as though It might have been made by a blaoSjaok. There Wus also blood on his forehead. The ball passed directly in at the right temple, penetrated the brain, and lodged olose to the skull on the left side of ihe head. Soma persons think he was killed In tbe ante-room and then carried to the box by the murderers, and placed in suou a posi tion as to indicate suicide. Others agsiu think that the deed was committed on the box. Kilhcr supposition may be correot, though, as he isy with his ngnt siueciose to tne wan of tue loom, it is dliileult to conjeoture how the shot could have been fired to produce the wound where it did. The pistol Itself has since been ascertained ta have belonged to blmsolf. The ante-room mentioned was used by tue deceased as a sleeping apartment, and was found to be lu considerable confusion. A large trunk was ransacked, the bed -clot bos wore tossed up, and every t Ding was ont of order. In this room a tin box was picked up, nsed for the purpose of receiving tickets, and nnder it, on the floor, was found an envelope ooutainlng 94 60, The catoh of this box was broken, aud it presented the appearance of having been broken open. Mi. Hiulih had been Jsultor of Ulrard Hall about nine years. For tbu just six years he has' been ooaruix'g witn mra, j ones, no va) iurens street. He served lu tho Uulou army. He was at limes sut jtot to epileptic tits, caused by a severe attack of typhoid fever He left Mis. Jones' honseabont two o'clock yesterday afternoon for the hull, saying that he had a Kberty cap to make, aud desired to get at work on It. In connection with being Janitor of the hull, the deceased ooiublned the business of makligupaud luring out fancy dresses for balls and parlies. After leavlug hi boarding bouse be was next seen In the pawn broking eslabllfehmeut of Wolf & Brothers, near by. He came In about twenty minutes before four o'clock, aud asked change for a five dollar bill, remarking Unit he had hired out two fancy dreskes, and that the parlies who had hired them were walling for their change. Boon after he left this store the report of a pistol was heard, apparently in the hall, and a noise as though something had fallen, down, but tbe mailer excited no suspicion at the UThe deceased was about twenty-eight years of aae.was unmarried, and has a sister resi ding at Kalghn's Polut,Houih Camden. He was a member of Chosen Friends Lodge, No. A, Knlgbis uf Pythias, and several other secret societies. - ....... He was a temperate man, of good disposition, and much liked by his acquaintances. As men tioned, ha was subject lo epileptic His, hot bad not had one for several months. It Was not known that he bad any enemies, nor that be nsdaoy trouble which wight have led hua to eommll suiolde. . . , A gentleman residing In Oermantown had arranged to get frona him a fancy eoaiiame yes terday aJtaiioooiik This gauliauiaa left bis rold: nee about 4 o'clock and reached the hall b ut 5 o'clock. He rang the bail, but reosl ved no answer. (Joins then .op stairs, he entered tne place; fonnd the ante room lu toe dtsor deredftste described; saw no person about; walked into the main hall; saw no person tnsie: and. being In a hurry, look the bundle wnieh bad ben prepared for him, and left. At the time of this visit the deceased must then have bee n lying dead upon the box; but, as he whs partially covered np by the quill, he was not noticed. ... Mr. Hmlth was In the habit of keeping small sums of money la his sleeping apartment at t he hall, but not sufficient in value to warrant the belief that a murder would have been enromtted toobtalo tbem. It has been ascertained that about nonn yes terday two men entered the plaoe to inquire about letting room, and that afterwards two 0 her men called to bire a couple of fanoy 0 resides. These men left a small den talt, and Mere to call in the afternoon and get their drnrses, but wbetber tbey did so is noi known. Tbe deceased bad evidently been at work on the liberty cap mentioned, for it was found in a balf flnisheei condition, in ihe hall, on a work table. Of course the affair tins created the greatest excitement In the neigbtorbood. But a short time elapsed after the discovery of the body belore crowds of people surrounded tlie place. The detective officers were quickly on the feeno, and a posse of tbeTweutletn WArd pnlioe look possession of the hall. The matter will undergo a most searching investigation. This rot rnlr a the whol deteoilve foroe was at wnrS; hut m thlDg In addition to what has buen given above has yet been brought to llaht. TUB ROTHSQIIILDS. Tliey Io Not I.Ike tti Management of Their Par la IIone. The Rothschilds are sold to be di-atis8e! wil b the management of their Paris house siuoe tbe drath of old Huron Janice. His two sons arc mill of little ability, aud they are said to have made several ruinous speculations. Nearly all t tbe old employes of the firm have been discharged since Karou James' death. Some strange dlst-ovi-rir-s have been made In regard to the Charities of the old Baron. lie frequently subscribed for benevolent purposes largo sums, with the understanding that he should be called epon to pay only a part of tbe same, tie 01 ten complaitjed of the exorbitant sums he had to pay for clerk hire. He took but two or three daily papers, and the man who read the news of the day to him every morning had to subscribe for as many, and bring them along to Rothschild's house. He never wore watches, rincs, or any kind of jewelry. At the dinner-table te drank cheao wine, aud he often scolded bis children lor drinking champagne aud other expeuhlve wines. There was b it one perron at whos? expenses he did not crumble, and that was his wife. When called upon by persons who wanted him to contribute haud soiuely lor charitable purposes, he often "came down" only ui on being told lhaf, if he should not give anything, his wife would be applied to. He knew that tbe would contribute libei ally, and so he subscribed a handsome sum, but usually a little less than he thought the would have etven. He was a coropouud of miserly aud spendthrift habits. He always made a fuss with his shoemaker, who presented his annual bill to him, but he did not even wince when his agents asked him for twenty thousand francs to purchase tome work ot art. He was very proud ot his sagacity as an art critic and connoisseur, but he was cheated so often in the purchase of pictuies, statues, medals, etc., that one-half tbe works ot art in bis galleries are said to be worthless. He had the most implicit confidence in old Charles I'll let, the auctioneer of work of art, but Mr. Pillet. it is thought, often abused this confidence and palmed worthless trumpery on the trusting Baron. Extraordinary Itevelatloui A very remarkable affair has rcceu'.ly been brought to light in Russia, through the revela tions ol a merchant in the town of Morshtchansk, a flourishing place southeast ot Moscow. This merchant accused one Plotitzin with having unlaw lully amastcd and secreted an immense amount of money, which he said was stowed away in cellars under the owner's residence. 1 in t bei more, he declared mat rioutzin ueid strange doctrines aud performed hideous cere monies in secret. Tbe representations of the merchant were such as to arouse tbe attention of the authorities, and they proceeded to in. ventigate. Plotitzin's bouse was searched by the. police, and iu tbe cellar a scene presented itself which might recall the old talcs of the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Stores of j;old revealed themselves In every direction; pots, pans, leathern baps, canvas sacks, all filled with the precious metal, aud evcu a num ber of targe saks, which stood at the further end of the vault, were found to be crammed with bars snd ingots of gold to the very top. Tbe gold coins were mostly of auclent da'e. Ti e whole scene formed such a tableau as the oldest man present, in all probability, had never before gazed upon; and the earliest esti mate (probably an exaggerated one) rates tbe treasure as high us 10,000,000 roubles considerably over 1,000,000 sterling. The alleged accumulation ot wealth having been lully established, the authorities extended their examination to the other matter charged against Ploiltsdn, which, according to the otli cial record, was that Plotitzin was one of the principal leaders and supporters of a secret but very extensive sect, comprising many rich merchants and money-changers, whose doctrine is apparently tbe abjuration of all ordinary pltSHures, aud tbe devotlncr of themselves heart and soul, to the amassing ot money. They form a secret commercial league, distinguished hj tbe practice of rigid celibacy. Burned to Death. The Huntingdon (Pa.) Globe publishes the following; The citizens of our town were considerably f alarmed on Wednesday last, the 17ih, by hear ing of a ore mat naa occurred taut morning between two aud three o'clock at the residence of Mr. 'William Dean, a farmer in Juniata town ttip, a tew miles south of town. It was ascer tained that tbe fire originated from smoking meat in the fireplace in one end of the house, and soon communicated to the dwelling, iu which the Inmates, consisting ot Mr. and Mrs. Dean, and their two daughters, Kate and Martha, were sound asleep. The tire made rapid piogren, aud with diiiicalty Mr. Dean and his wife, who slept be'.ow, escaped, while Kate and Martha, who slept np stairs, ran through the flames to the door Kate escaping in her night clothes, and being binned about the tare, shoulders and bauds in the attempt, while Martha succeeded but In gettlnor to the door, when, it is supposed, she was stifled with smoke and fell, and was consumed In the flames, t-he wss the youngest of the family, aged about seventeen jearp. Her sad death has stricken her parents and rela'lves with great sorrow, and our alliens deeply sympathize with them. Mr. Peau lost everything, and he and his family are now stavitier with Mr. Harrison Speck, the nearest neighbor. The injuries wblch Kate received, though painful in the extreme, will hot be fatal, but it is thought she will lote tiie use oi ner bands. Grant' Cabinet Appointments! The Chicago limet says: "It will be a curious bit of history to re mem ber that President Graut ni.ida up his Cabinet from meu so obscure l bat it was nearly a month before the proper spelling of their names was positively decided." To which the Chicdco Journal rejoins: "Not half o cur.ous as the fact that the DemocraMu electors of a sovereign State cast lis vote for the father ot the caudida'.e who was voted lor." 1 Bank failure.

He aud bis brother Thomas started la pursuit of Ihe plaintiffs, and overtook them on the highway, and, telling them that taey were suspected of the larceny, demauded that tbey should retnrn to the towo, Orme consented to eo bsck, but Brooks refused, and one ot the Brod heads laid hands upon him. saying that he must go with them. . Orme here attempted to throw some money over an orchard wall, but a two dollar note fell to the gronnd, and as Thomas Brod head stooped to pick It up, Brooks levelled a pistol at bis head. Theodore warned him not to lire, andihe turned and shot him, Theodore, through tbe heart. A scuttle ensued between Tnoinas andibe plaintiffs, in which several vlstol snots were fired, and tbe former to badly beaten t hat he sank to the ground exhausted, and tbey fled. But they were subsequently arrested, tried, and convicted. At the trial their counsel advanced the point tbat tbe Broadheds, being but private oltizens, and having no warrant, their death, resulting from resistance to the attempted arrest, was not murder, but manslaughter. This the Court below refused to affirm, and this formed tbe principal assignment of error. It was argued fully a week or ten days ago, and. this morning wsb decided. Tne opinion of the Conrt. after stating the facts of ihe murder and the alleged error, says: "It Is an answer to this point to say that it required the Court to take tne question entirely from the Jury, aud to say that ihe erlme was only manslaughter. Tuongh the arrest bj Ille gal, tbe killing would not neoeasarlly be raw alaughier, for the question of matloe still re mained. The illegal assault will not reduoe the offense to manslaughter where the revenge is disproportionate and barbarous." 'That on the commission of a felony a private person, making fresh pursuit on relUOle in formation, may arrest the felon. Is the law, not only of England, bat of this State." "Upon probable suspicion, also, a private per son may arrest the lelon or other person so smpected." "If an Innocent person la arrested upon bus- fdoion by a private Individual, suok udivldnal Is excused if a felony was In fact committed, and there was reasonable gronnd to suspect tbe per son so ai rested. But If no felony was com mitted by any one, and a private Individual arrested without warrant, suou ai rest. Is Illegal, though an officer would be Justified If be aoted upon information from another whloh he had reason to rely on." Tiluhman. O. J., says: "And even where there is onlv mrobable cause of suspicion, a private person may without warrant at his peril make an arrest, i aay ui uia pum, iur uutuiug nuurv of proving tbe felony will Justify the arrest." The sentence of tbe Court is affirmed, and tbe record is remitted for further proceeding according to law. Agnew, J. "I fully concur in the reasons of my brother Agnew for affirming the judgment of the Court below on tbe very points presented and argued. To that portion relating to private arrests lam not prepared to assent, nor yet fully to dtasent; hut I son cur in the result determined on." Thompson, O. J. ( ousTor Quarter Sessions Judge Pelroe. Tbere was qunlie a number of prisoners la tbe dock this morning to engage tne attention, of the Court. William Klelst pleaded guilty to tbe Uroeny of a enat from the front of a store.

A boy named John Geer plead guilty to a chariie of outline lead pipe from the cellar of a gentleman's bouse and taking it away.' Jacob Mann, alias Peacock, plead guilty to a charge of tbe larceny of boots from Jacob N ao4, and Jjiuy Mann, anas Morris, was put upja trial, charged with tbe same offense. This man is tbe well-known thief who, on last Friday evenlns. with bis "pal." entered Mr. Naie'a store, No. 312 Nortk Baoond street, and, uuder firetenseoi an intention to puronsse, manageu o get several pairs of shoes and boo'.s into the woman's. lift pocket. This happened to be detected by Mr N ace's daughter, who gave the alarm. The woman ran, but was pursued and overtaken by Mr. Nace, wbo arrested her. not without receiving several blows from Mann, who has tened to her rescue. When she was banded over to the police authorities and searched, tbls lift-pocket was fosnd to be literally full of foot-gear. She also gave the officer tbe key to a room in Second street, ocou pled by herself and Mann, in which were found skeleton kevs. Jimmies, and other burglars' tools. Aursti itwiB, ns niteMujr vwiou iu our iuiihi columns, were proven at the trial, and the un fortunate woman's only reply was an argu ment by ber counsel, F. Amedeo Bregy, Jr., which bad not been finished when oar report closed. FINANOE AND COMMERCE. Ojnes or thk Ktb.vivb Tm,vauAPH, Thursday, March 5, taw. A good deal of speculation is being indulged iu by capitalists aud traders as to the probable course of the money market durli g tne uext t o weeks, aod tbe fears of an approaching tightnt'ss of money create no little uneasiness. Tnerecan be little doubt but that the critical period of April would be bridged over without much In -convenience it the cliques could be restrained in their attempts to aggravate the evil, but the occasiou affords a stroug temptation to resort to the usual methods for the sake of the lare profits which haug on success. Meanwhile merchants and traders are pressing for accom. modatlonB, and wheu navigation shall open large amounts will ba called tor to move Western produce to the seaboard uiarkcts.and thus create a demand for currency beyond tue supply in the market.
