Shortly after the lirst -hots were heard all th'; troops" that guarded the town, both regulars and volunteers, numbering about four "thousand, More in motion towards those parts of the city whore their prcscnoo was most needed. The Plaza Ai la Caridad had bO'jn in vaded by a force of in-ur,;ents, to what number was ru t stated, though it must have been consi derable, us this port of the city is guarded by the reainient of marine infantry. At this point (Icncral Poello arrived at about 5 o'clock A. M., accompanied by the forces which had been ;iiardii:s the bridire loading from the Caridad to 1 he centre of the city. The insurgents met by the marines and afterwards by the P.attalion Union, the sniali force of cavalry which accom panied General Poello commenced to retreat i-lowly towards the t.'orojo. followed by the above-mentioned forces, which, with one piece of artillery, -kept up hii active firing, returned by the insurgents, who retreated slowly and in good order. 'General Poello, at the head of his troops, folloved the retreating insurgents to a diftaix e of two miles from town, returning at 8 o'clock to the city. At the Vigia, the northwest part of the town, the Insurgents forced their entrance up that street, close to the very dors of the Lancers' barracks,' shootinr down the sen tinels, witU tUQ fry oj; yiwCubalibrcl TUo v.ui..ilJlU 1 cllill-L l n.uil Ulllicu Ul illir; ijfiut, with three pieces of artillery, while the Keina rcgiircnt mede a circuit lo cut off the retreat of this party of insurgents, consisting of about S."0 men. Hut in this mano uvre the troops did not succeed, as every bush and the several outlets of the city were lined with rebels. The Keina re giment had to cut across the ileitis at right angles to join the hh latia regiment, and before those combined forces lc insurgents retr.ated slowly, contesting iLo roum iuoh by Inch, and umxvj reureii. a; various other parts of the town the rebels In small parties made simulta neous attacks, with the same result as the fore going. As umial the Spaniards confess only to very miull losses, nevertheless thirty-four wounded were taken into tho Lancers' barracks. The insurgents' lo.-.s bus not been ascertained. The .Spaniards say they killed eleven. Jt is well ascertained that the insurgents hall 110 iflteutiW of taking the city by this informal attack, but to produce a general alarm, and as the town was left uruitiurdcd at several unim portant points, through these means (by a pre concerted plan with sympathizers iu tho city und faithful (?) .Spaniards, who have a greater affection for Cuban gold than their beloved pa triu), to take away many valuable commodities, such as salt, rice, provisions, and clothing. They fully succeeded iu their plan, and it is calculated that nearly .")(), (MM) worth of goods were takeu out of the town by thi ruse dc gium . This accounts for the troops tearing down several houses at the cdg.es of the city, w hero ouaiiU- tics of provisions, clothing, and even arms that remained were round. t-oon after tra njuilliiv was restored and the excitement over, several arrests of Cubans were made, ttinoug others Don Podro Agucro, charged with having lircd on tho troops from his win dow; this, of course, is only u pretext, as this gentleman lives in the centre of the citv.

We see notices of minors and farmers in California, In Tcmis, and in other States, who have done big things. We see notices of men who have grown rich In manufacturing and real estate speculations In the Fast aud elsewhere. Scarce u paper that does not puff somebody for some wonderful feat iu some direction. We do not recollect to have seen any notice in the papers of one of the greatest men the coun try has produced. We mean John T. Alexan der, of Morgan county, who commenced busi ness for himself with little capital or other ad vantages above the, average of men. He Is a plain, homespun farmer - tall, good-looking, tree and easy iu manners, without, the least par ticle of style in words or acts. It Is Interesting to watch the movements of such a man at Springfield or hicago, among the popinjays and self-constituted leaders of society who are greatly elevated in their own conceit. Mr. Alexander has been farming in Illinois a good many years, aud has been very successful. Ills farms uov comprise abom'. SO.tXHJ acres, mostly under Improvement. This U about one twnship and a half, about nine miles square, and all good land. Ho Ins now .KKMI acre-? ot growing corn, and from 1500 to 000 ucres of grass. He is now feeding about 10.000 head of cattle. aud buys and ships East from Chicago from W00 to "JUOO head each week, lie lias risen to this great prominence by his own talent, energy, aud integrity. His business each and cverv veur amounts to millions of dollars, and is entirely legitimate, adding to his own wealth and the common welfare of the State. We may. at some other time, give, in more detail, a history of Mr. Alexander and his opera tions not that he needs any such notice, but its an example to the young to go and do likewise. instead ot going into stores ami onices to avoid soiling their lingers, with tho notion that farm ing is not so genteel and profitable. V e may do so tor another reason, aud that is the fact that the young, as well as the older peo ple, nowadays, get their notion of things gene- ally lrom the newspapers the papers, lor some reason or other perhaps the force of circum stances more than auything else have much to say of manufacturers, lawyers, preachers, bank ers, and other professional and trafficking char acters, but very little to saj' of farming aud farmers. We think it profitable to pro,3eut, as an offset to about ten thousand politicians aud other characters who occupy the columns ot news, one such man as John T. Alexander. MISSING VESSELS.

Mom i.k, August 0 The Mobile lii'gi.-ttpr of this morning comments on tlie riot as follows: Last night's work, done after our editorial of this morning was in print, Is a sharp and nuick commentary on the dangers we forecasted from the present aspect of affairs. It Is a burning shame that this community should be exposed to outrages like this, and tlie community owes it to itself to take measures to protect itself against a repetition of them. As to where the blame, lies, there is no room for question. These deeds are the direct outflow of maddened passions of negroes Inflamed and lashed into fury by the public harangues and private instigations of foreign radicals in our midst. It is a question for the public to decide how long these incen diaries shall be allowed to expose the peace of society aud the safety of women aud children. We hope that a public meeting will lie held to answer this question. The election lu the First Congressional dis trict is uncertain, and will take the olliclal count to decide.

The returns are still meagre; but enough is known to render It certain that Buckley and Hays, radical, have been elected In the Second and fourth districts by colored majorities. I) x aud Shcrrou, Demo crats, are elected in the Fifth uud Sixth districts by white majorities. The returns from the Firt district are too indefinite to indicate the result with certainty, but the impression is that buck is elected. The Third district Is very close, aud Jt'O votes either way will probably decide tlie result. The Itlot ai Mobile. Abi.-I'ull llelaiU ol (lie Allray -ll urluiii u-iiu r.nu.

Several c.ili.eus cailed o:i the Mayor aud some, of the radical leaders, and advised them that it would be better to postpone the meeting, for if the threat of hanging i-i elligy was carried out, the white people could not be restrained from an attempt to resent tko indignity by force. It was thought those repre sentations had had the desired effect, and there would be no meeting. At 8 o'clock, however, the tar barrels wore lighted, uud Ihe uegroe. began to flock lu until they swcllud into a crowd of a thousand or tll'lecu hundred. Many came with guns, and most all with Ifunccn led arms, pistols, knives, and razor.

M Louis, which makes the strongest bid for tin capital, if the scat of government is re lunvi'd trom Washington to the West, claims to lmv a population of 2"J0,0C0, and a total of jj'l WV louses. There has been an extraordinary amount of building In that city In the past three ye ns, no less than 570 houses haying been elected since liSiili. These are facts which speak fawinhly for that city, and to these are added ike lolloyylng promises: The city limits as now laid out gUo K,'Mi lots, on which, says a local journal, " houses may be erected." This will not do; it docs not strengthen the bid. Omaha eit v has Minn thing less than a million lots on which houses "maybe" erected, but a century or so may elapse before they will be erected. If what Is to be done Is to bo considered a claim, Umalia is the coming city for the capital.
