In Philadelphia they are agitating the question of deriving revenue from the street railways, as they do in Baltimore, for park purposes. A bill has been in troduced in the Legislature, at Harris burg, for exacting a tax of one cent for each passenger, to be paid every month by the respective companies, :of which there are a large number running ears through different streets in Philadel phia. Whenever the amount thus rea lized shall be sufficient to maintain and improve the parks and public squares, there is to be no assessment on real es tate for the purpose.

Living in York, York county, in a house owned by B. H. Weiser,isn colored woman who has reached the extreme old age of one hundred and six years. She is a native of Maryland where she was a slave, the property of a Nathaniel Watt, by whom she was manumitted, as her manumission papers show, on the 30th of May, 1016, at which time, as ap pears from the same papers, she was fifty-two years of age. She is therefore, perhaps, the oldest person in York County, and one of the oldest In thedtate. Yet notwithstanding this extreme old age, she is a hearty woman, never uses glasses, and, attends to her domestic du ties as well as a woman of one-half that age could be expected to do.

She had in her pocket a lace handkerchief, in which was wrapped a small sum of money. The same paper announces that on l'riday evening Mrs. Susan B.

Rosexa Luxury of the-ancients To enjoy, the scent of roses, at meals, an abundance of roses were shaken on the table, so that: the dishes were corn pletely surrounded. By an artificial contrivance, roses, during meals, de scended on the guests from above. Hel iogabalus, in his folly, caused roses to be showered down upon his guests In such quantitlesthat a number of them, beim g unable fto - -.M.rtricate themselves, we iffocated in flowers. During a times, they reclined on cushions stuffed wlth.rose leaves, or made a couch of leaves themselves. The floor, too, was strewn with roses, and in this custom greftt ItixUrywas displayed. Cleopatra, don enormus expense, procured roses for a feast which she gave to Anthony, 'had them laid two cubits thick on the floor °lithe banquet room, and then caused nets to be spread over the flowers in order to render the looting elastic. Heliogabalus caused not hnly the ban quet rooms, bqt also the colonades that led to them, Co be " c overed with roses, interspersed. with violets, hya cinths and narcissi, and 'walked . about upon the floweryplatform. THE LAIC° total intellige n ce. Historical Sketch of the New /ormolus Chum* is Limonite& As a brief preliminary to the history of the New Jerusalem Church in Lancaster , popularly called " Swedenborgian," it may be allowable to say something in reference to its primal origin in diamond. Thomas Hartly was cotemporary. with Swedenborg himself, and was perhaps the first "receiver" ofhia doctrines in England. He died in the year 1784. The first organization of the New Church Into an external body of Christians dates back to the year 1780. Robert Hindmarsh, the son ofa Methodist Minister, was the first ordained Minister of the Church in England. The first chapel for New Church worship was dedicated in London, on the 27th of Jannary , l7BB. The first New Church Conference was • held in 1789, of which Hindmarah was the leading spirit. The first introduction of the writings of the New Church, into this country was by James Glenn of England, in 1784, and the first reedy er of the doctrines of Swedenborg, is supposed to have been Francis Bailey, a printer of Philadelphia, who was also the first publisher of the works on this conti nent. The first General Convention of New Church men took place at Philadelphia on the 15th of May 1817. The first society was formed in Baltimore, about the beginning of the present century, and the first ordain ed Minister was John Hargrove o who had E v i no h nsl ur 3 e r h been a Minister of t heMeth The Intellectual Repogitory was establish ed in England in 1812. It is a monthly periodical devoted to the diffusion of the doctrines and philosophies of Swedenborg, and is still continued. The first New Church periodical in this country was established at New York in 1812. It was called the Halcyon Summary, and was published by Samuel Woodworth, the Author of "The Old Oaken Bucket that hangs in the Well." The present periodicals of the New Church in this country are the New Jerusalem Messenger, a quarto weekly, published in Now York, established in 1852 New Jeru salem Magazine, octavo monthly, Boston, established in 1838 ,• New Church Monthly, an octavo, Philadelphia, in 1867 ; New Church Independent, a quarto, Laporte, In., In 1852; Children's New Church Magazine, a 12 mo., New York, in 1841 ; The Olive Leaf, a weekly, Waltham, Mass., in 1868 ; Bole der Nouen Kirche, a German semi monthly, in Baltimore, about 1855, and the Little Messenger, a Sunday School quarto, established in Philadelphia in 1868. On page 460 of Mombert's history of Lan caster county it is stated, on the authority of a paragraph in Rupp's history, that Lan caster has not been without ono or more new churchmen residing in it since 1765. This is doubtless an error, it should have been 1785, if not 1795, for it was about this latter period that Henry Von Buelow, a German nobleman and a native of Prussia, visited America and spent some time in Lancaster. About the same period Wil liam Reichenbach, a native of Saxony, and a man of classical attainments, left his na tive country, and on his arrival in Lancas ter was appointed Professor of Mathematics and German Literature in Franklin Col lege. Von Buelow had previously em braced the doctrines of Swedenborg, and with a view to their dissemination had brought with him a number of works con taining them for gratuitous distribution and for sale. Through the teaching of Von Buelow, Reichenbach became ah earnest and intelligent receiver and avowed the doctrines openly. It was also stated, on page 461 of the aforesaid histor3r, that Reich enbach was the author of a duodecimo work published in 1812 entitled A gathon ; but this also seems to be incorrect. The writer of this article has been credibly informed that Baron Von Buelow was the author of Agathon, and that Reichenbach was the translator into the English, and perhaps also into the German from the original Latin. Joseph Ehronfried was the printer. Von Buelow afterwards returned to Europe, but from his efforts a small band of "receivers" met to discuss and mutually instruct each other about the year 1788 or 1789. Reichenbach, however, wrote and published some works of his own, or at least had them in manuscript, but it is sup posed they have become extinct. In addi tion to the foregoing Frederic Daurnish, a Saxon teacher of music, and the intimate friend of Buelow, Jacob Carpenter and a Mr. Eckstein also became receivers. Sub sequently were added John Funk, Henry Bear, Hetty Barton and others whose names appear in the body of this article. This was all prior to the formation of the present Lancaster New Jerusalem Society. The Lancaster Society of the Nev Jeru salem was instituted on the 14th day of February 111:I6, and its first officers were : Wm. Girling, Leader; Joseph lihrenfried, Secretary; henry Ketrer, Treasurer; Wil- lium Git'ling,Librarian ; with Ecclesiastical and Secular committees, including, in ad dition to the foregoing, the names of L. C. Jungerich and Henry Pinkerton, Sr. It met on Sunday afternoons for worship at the houses of the members in Lancaster city, until December the I Ith, ISM; when, having built a Temple and School-room in East Vine Street, worship was held therein at the usual hour, on Sunday morning; William Girling, who had previously been a minister of the Methodist Church, officiat ing as leader of the services; and the Socie ty has continued to do so, with but a few temporary interruptions, down to the pres ent time. The Sunday School was estab- has been continued until the present time. Mr.:6 irling was the first Superintendent of the Sunday School, and after his death, which occurred some time in 1837, Henry Keifer was appointed Leader and Superin tendent, L. C. Jnngericb, Secretary. The first quarterly meeting was held in the German Lutheran Church in Strasburg on the 17th of April, 1830, and the Rev. M. M. Roche was the first ordained new Church minister who preached to the Society, and administered the ordinances of the Lord's Supper and Baptism, the Services being hold in what was then known as St. John's Church, April 18, 1836. On the Ist of Octo ber, 1839, Rev. Isaac C. Worrel removed from Frankford, Pa., to Lancaster and be clune the Pastor of the Lancaster Society, but resigned his charge and left the city on the Ist of April, 1640. The Lot on which the Temple stands was donated to the Society by Mr. Henry Heifer, and to build the Temple Henry Heifer, Henry Carpen ter and L. C. Jungerich each advanced three hundred dollars, and Joseph Ehren fried and F. J. Kramph each fifty dollars, all of which claims they subsequently re linquished to the Society, under a release, dated July 25, 1840. On the same date Henry Pinkerton, Sr., was appointed Leader, L. C. Jungerich,Superintendent the Sunday School, and Jos. Ehrenfried, Secretary. Mr. a however soon thereafter resigning, Jos. C. Boardman, a Teacher in one of the Public Schools, was elected Sec retary. Henry Keifer died October 16,1841. The Lancaster Society obtained a Charter from the Court, on the .25th of June, 1841, and became a body corporate in law, un der the title of the First New Jerusalem Society of Lancaster. Mr. Boardman re moving from Lancaster, Joseph Ehren fried was again elected Secretary, July 2d, 1841. Wm. H. BenadeJ who had previ ously been a Minister of the Moravian Church, was elected Leader April 15, 1845. Removing to Philadelphia, Henry Pinker ton, Sr., was again elected Leader, Janu ary 6th, 1846. Joshua 0. Colburn, a teacher in the High School, and a Licentiate in the ministry of the New Church, was appointed Leader February 11850. Mr. Colburn leaving HenryH Lancaster, Pinkerton was again elected on the 7th day of January, 1854; and S. S. Rathvon as alternate leader, and also as Secretary, on the 21st of March,lBss. The constitution having been revised, and provision made for a President, Joseph Ehrenfried was elected to that office, and continued to fill it until his death, which occurred March 6, 1862. David Pancoast was elected President, April 2, 1862, and continued in that office until his death, on the 27th of August, 1865. Rev. Wm. 11. Boned° was appointed alternate Pastor, March 21, 1855, performing the ordinances of the Church quarterly. S. S. Rathvon was appointed Leader on the same date, and has continued to act in that capacity from that period to the present time, ex cept when the Society had the services of a regular Pastor, and about the same period he was also elected Superintendent of the Sunday School. Rev. N. C. Burnham was appointed Pastor July 12, 1866, but having accepted the appointment of Missionary in the service of the Pennsylvania Associa tion of the New Church, in 1869, he only preaches -and administers the ordinances q,uarterly. On January 22d, 1866, Samuel rltz was elected President. In Juiy 1866; he was succeeded by Rev. N. C. Burnham, who is the present incumbent. in addition to the foregoing, the Society has had the occasional ministerial services of a number of ordained New Church cler gymen, among whom were Rev. Richard DeChauns, late of Philadelphia; Rev. Jas. P. Stewart, of St. Louis; Rev. J. R. Hib bard, of Chicago; Rev. T. P. Rodman, of Philadelphia; Rev. Arthur O. Briekman, of Baltimore; Rev. Samuel Warren, of England; Rev. S. F. Dike, of Bath, Me.; Rev. E. A. Beaman, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Rev. James Reed, of Boston ; Rev. Adolph Bartels, of Iowa; Rev. Louis Carrier, of Mo.; and in its earlier history, of the late Dr. Edwin Atlee. All this has transpired and is on record, and yet many of the citi zens of Lancaster county are ignorant of the existence of the No=w Ctioncrt. 11011-SEAND WAGON STOLEN.-011 Thurs day, a man giving his name as John Smith, of - Lu serne county, called at Funk's Hotel„, and introduced himself as a cattle dealer, saying he had 58 head of cattle about 12 miles from town, for which he wanted to engage yard room. Among them were three cows with young calves, and ho wanted to hire a wagon to bring them to town. To accommodate the stranger, Mr. Funk sent to Hartman's livery for a horse, and. furnished the wagon himself.

DRUMORE Towasnir.—A correspondent of the Oxford Press furnishes that paper with the following description of Drumorg twp., this county: Drumore township is situated on the western side of the county,some eight miles being washed by the waters of the Susque hanna. Fishing ant} Conowingo creeks are next in importance ; they take their rise in the north part of the township and flow south into the Susquehanna neither of which aro navigable, but afford ample water power for a number of merchant and saw milli erected at many points in their course. Fishing creek cannot be sur passed a: a water power, for a stream of its length; it has many unimproved sites along its course. It enters the river above Peach Bottom. The scenery in this vicin ity is rarely surpassed in beauty and gran deur. With a single glance the eye takes In the mystic river with its numerous islands, its bold and rock-clad bluffs, which tower like hugh walls until they suddenly flatten down on the head waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The landscape on the cast or west of this is one of great beauty. One is remind ed of scenes on the Iludson many of which, it fully equals. Hero the current is very rapid and as the bed of the river is mainly composed of rock, naturally produces many eddies, swirls and maelstroms in miniature, which keep up a succession of sounds near ly equal to the famous Laderc, whilst the constant roaring of C nine's falls are heard for miles up and down the river. Situated about half a mile from this is Murphy's loop, being a tract of land almost surrounded by Fishing creek. Tradition says that many years ago one Murphy entered into this wilderness for the purpose of hunting, but from that day to the present no trace of him has been found, hence the name of Murphy's loop. There have been some:very fine buildings erected iu this township during the last year, and several commenced to be finished during this. Among the former are the dwelling houses of Messrs. Ewing, Ernhart and Brown, of the latter Messrs. Cutler and Clark. In addition to these are two large and expensive Halls, one by the order of Free Masons,the other by the Odd Fellows. On Conowingo, near the head waters, has been erected a large merchant mill with four run of burrs and all the modern im provements in machinery are here intro duced, driven by a large turbine wheel— altogether it is one of the best arranged merchant mills in the county. FULTON TOWNSHIP.—A correspondent of the Oxford Press sends that paper the following description of Fulton twp.:: Fulton township, Lancaster county, is bounded on the north by Drumore, east by Little Britain and the Octoraro, west by the Susquehanna and south by Cecil county, Md. It is situated in latitude 39 degrees north, and in longitude about 76 degrees 'Rost of Greenwich. Area, 4.'2 square miles. The surface is undulating and somewhat broken—the latter more especially in the western portion, as we approach the left bank of the river. The streams are few and unimportant. The principal ones are the Conowingo, rising in Providence twp., flowing southward, passing through Ful ton from north to south, emptying into the Susquehanna at the village of the same name, in Maryland; and Peter's Creek, named after an early settler, rising in Dru more twp. and finding an outlet in the river, near Peach Bottom. As a natural sequence, the productions are the same heroes found in other sections of the same latitude. Wheat and corn are the chief crops. The surplus of these cer eals, with the profit arising from grazing, aro the chief sources of revenue of a major ity of our land proprietors. The territory now included in Fulton con stituted, until the year 1844-5, the western portion of Little Britain. In that year Little Britain was divided, and at the suggestion of a citizen, now no more, the now district was named Fulton, in honor of the cele brated American inventor whose birth place is generally supposed to be within its limits. In 1569 there were 23.5 freeholders, 129 tenants, 95 single men and about twice - as many single women. The number of chil dren in the public schools, 475. ller citi zens pay this year (1869) a county tax of $1,684.46, a State tax of $417.26, and militia tines amounting to $104.50. There are nine schools in the township, and for their sup port they are required to pay a tax of over $3,000. . . Fulton contains eight churches, viz: one Methodist, one Presbyterian, two Friends], one Baptist, one Welsh and two colored Methodists. ' There aro nine grist mills (the walls of one erected prior to the Revolutionary war), six saw mills, two cabinet maker, three wheelwright and six blacksmith shops. There are five hotels, and six post offices, two of the latter—doshen and Pleasant Grove—were established more than thirty years ago. The principal villages are Goshen ' Bethel, Wakefield, New Texas and Peach Bottom. If we except the "dirt roads" which positive necessity requires in every civil ized community, there aro no public im provements in Fulton township. Much has been said, and some money has been spent within the last decade, but so far, her citizens have none of the advantages of either railroad, canal or turnpike. PEQUEA ITEMS.-A correspondent at Pequea sends us the following items of in terest: An accident of rather a serious nature occurred at White Horse Mill on Tuesday, the 2d inst. Mr. Jos. P. Cooper (miller), m the employ of Samuel C. Handwork, of this place, while hoisting flour from the lower to the second floor of the mill, fell through the hatchway with a barrel of flour, and was picked up insensible, in which state he remained some twelve hours. -When last heard from some hopes were entertained of his recovery. Sickness is prevailing to an alarming ex tent, at the present time, in this section. Mr. Robert Howe, of Salisbury twp., died !alit week, he havingarrived at the goodpld age ofB2, and moat likely ,has stood, more hardship than any man in our township.

Our hope is that the guru/will be taken at an early day. _ feneral of our fatefel low when, parfait McEvoy, took place on FridstY, and presented a very Imposing etp =ce. !rho :be:RAMS leaver mounted ~ of Zecher-Bros., which , bore the re mains, was preceded by several containing Abe Reverend Clergy and bearers, and folloWed by a very large fu neral cortege of carriages containing the friends and relatives of the deceased. The procession paved from his late residence on the Harrisburg Pike, to St. Mary's Church. The remains were borne into the Church by the following pall bearers:— Col. William B. Fordney, Michael Barry, Sr., Michael Malone, William• CarPonteri Esq. George L. Boyle," John McGovern, Michael Riley and William Sales. Solemn High Maas was then celebrated by Rev erend Thomas J. Reilly, pastor of the Church, assisted by the Revs. Richard Barry of Harrisburg, as Deacon,- James J. Russell, of Columbia, as Sub-Deacon, and Thos. Marren, of the Diocese of Philadel phia, as Master of Ceremonies. At the Offertory the hymn " Few Jeau" was im pressively rendered by the choir. At the conclusion of the Mass, Rev. Pierce Maher, of Norristown, preached an eloquent funer al sermon, recounting the many virtues and charities for which the deceased was eminent; after which the Very Rev. Ber nard Keenan performed the ceremony of the absolution of the body. The venerable father, who for nearly half a century has ministered to the spiritual wants of his parishioners, still retains that vigor of in tellect that marked him in his earlier days, and is still spared to his parishioners, num bers of whom have, during his ministra tion, passed away to that bourno whence no traveler returns. The Mllowing clergymen were also pres ent on the altar during the ceremonies: Rev. P. A. Stanton, 0. S. A. of Philadel phia; Rev. Mark Crane, of Philadelphia; Rev. Augustine J. McConomy, of Phila delphia; Rev. James O'Reilly; Rev. John Fitz-Maurice, of Philadelphia; Rev. Dan'! O'Connor, of Philadelphia; Rev. Edmund Fitz Maurice, of Drumore, Pa. ; Rev. Fran cis BastOble, of Harrisburg; Rev. Francis Neufeld, of St. Joseph's, this city; Rev. Eugene Phelan, 0. S. 11., of St. Mary's, Elk county; Rev. John McGovern, of the Diocese of Philadelphia. The corpse was then conveyed to St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, where appro priate ceremonies were bad and then de posited in its final resting place in the family vault. The burial casket used was of cast iron, with heavy ornamental mouldings. It was painted and grained to represent rosewood. On each side and each end of it are silver plated rods, secured by silver-plated brack ets, for lifting or carrying the casket in stead of the ordinary handles, The lid was of plate-glass, which permitted of the body being seen without removing it. Before the body was interred, this plate-glass lid was covered with three metallic panels, the tipper one containing a silver-plated wreath; the centre ono a heavy silver-plated cross, and the lower one a silver-plated torch.— At the top of the centre panel of the lid was a silver plate, engraved with the name of the deceased. PATRICK McEvoy. The bot tom of the same panel contained the words Bony 1805: DIED 1870. The moulding sur rounding the lid was also elaborately orna mented with silver-plated flowers.; The inside of the casket was cushioned, and lined with white stamped satin, edged with a heavy white silk fringe. Altogether, the casket is by far the most beautiful ever seen in Lancaster. THE MAIDEN Winow.—A Sequel to the Family Doom ; or, Tho Sin of a Countess, is the name of Mrs. Emma D. E. N. South worth's new novel, now in press, and to be published in a few days by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia. It will command a very large sale, as it is one of Mrs. South worth's most powerfully written efforts, exciting and sensational, and is fully equal,' if not superior to "The Family Doom," "The Changed Brides," "The Bride's Fate," "Fair Play," and "How He Won Her," which have proved to be five of the best novels ever published, and which are •hav ing unprecedented sales, for Mrs. South worth, as a novelist, stands at the head of all female writers. tier conceptions are marked by originality, and there Is a purity and sweetness about her language which give a peculiar charm to her writings. Her characters are powerfully and touch ingly drawn, and we learn to love them because they are more natural than affected. "The Maiden Widow" will be issued M a largo duodecimo volume, and sold at the low price of $1.75 in cloth; or $1.50 in paper cover; or copies will be sent by mail, to any place, post paid, by the publishers, on receipt of the price of the work in a letter to them. RUMORED VISIT OF PRINCE ARTHUR TO WHEATLAND. The Philadelphia Press published the following item in its edito rial columns: Letters !rum "Wheatland," near Lan caster, Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnson, niece of ex-President Buch anan, is now sojourning, state that his Royal Highness, Prince Arthur, will visit that lady within a few days, and that fit ting arrangements aro making for his re ception. When Miss Lane was at tho head of her uncle's establishment, while he was American Minister in London, the Prince was not much more than a baby. This was in 1854, 18tH, and part of 11156; but she was well esteemed by Victoria, who has no doubt commissioned her son to pay the niece of ox-President Buchanan a friendly visit. The portrait of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, presented to Mr. B. by the heir apparent, is now the property of Mt. Lane Johnson. nquiry fails to satisfy us of the correct •ness of the above rumor. The mansion at Wheatland has been undergoing repairs lately, but, so far as we can learn, without any reference to a visit from English roy alty. Mrs. Johnson resides in Baltimore, except during tin:summer season, and were she going to entertain Prince Arthur she would be most likely to receive him at her mansion in that city. LOCAL ITEMS.—Mrs. Lydia Myers, of this city, while riding in a passenger railway car in Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening of last week, was robbed of her pocket book which contained all of her money. A young married man named Reuben Kipp, eloped a short time ago with his wife's sister. Both parties resided in West Donegal township. It is stated that emissaries of Brigham Young are holding meetings in school houses along the Welsh Mountains, this county. The meetings are well attended, but the efforts td' the Saints have not thus far been attended with flattering success.

PURCIIASE OF LEAF TOBACCO.—In reply to the frequent inquiries made by the rev enue officers and others, Commissioner Delano has decided that every person en gaged in the business of purchasing leaf tobacco, which they consign to commission houses, agents, or other persons, to be sold on their account, are liable to pay the spe cial tax of twenty-five dollars, as dealers in leaf tobacco under the provision of the fifty ninth section of act of July 20, 1868; and also, that this liability is incurred, notwith standing the sales are made through the agency of persons or firms who have them selves paid special tax, as dealers in leaf tobacco. The same principle is held to ap ply to persons selling . distilled spirits through commission houses, or otheraten cies. The sale made by the-sgent is deem ed and held to be the principal's sale,. and he is required to pay a special tax therefore as "Liquor Dealer.'

Dor the offence, Before the negroes were shot by the lynch- era they confessed:. the: deed; aiair.furthitz stated that, disguised as Ku-Ries; they bad beaten an Old man named Bryant to death, attempte d to ravish the daughter of is Mr. Mc murdered a young man named Hurt, an committed.reany, other outrages, including robbery and Incendi edam, in the same county. The following account of the affair is from the Nashville Union and American, Jan. 28th : We have several accounts and quite fail waculars of the, taking out of jail and /6:: . = of the five negroes in Huirtingdon, cmintyjon last Tnesdaynight. The immediate cause of the drama of blood was the kill ng of Coleman on the Saturday night previous. From the information re owed we give the following, which Is, no doubt, substantially correct. After killing Coleman, the negroes went to a neighbor and burned his fodder stacks and attempted to burn his house. A young man,illred into them and run them off and got their horses. The horses were taken to Huntingdon. This.alarmed the Murderers, and a negro named Mat Brown went to an other old negro and told him if the inquiry was made he (an old Fayette negro,) must swear that Mat staid with him the night of the killing of Coleman. The old negro told this to the authorities, whereupon Mat was arrested. After his arrest, and being told what could be proved on him by Fayette, he confessed that ho was there, and told the names of the others present, one of whom was named Allen Robinson. They were then arrested, five in all. They confessed to the killing of Coleman, and also confess ed going some time ago to an old man Bry ant's and whipping him so severely that he died. They also went to a Mr. McLain's, pulled his daughter out of bed, and treated them cruelly, attempting to rape her—always in They say they know nothing of the ex press robberies which hare been committed there. They were put in prison, after an exam ination before a magistrate, and guards were placed around the jail. About half-past nine o'clock the firing began—supposed to be by the guards on persons advancing. Twelve or fifteen shots were fired in rapid succession. Then a volley of fifty guns, and then an order to charge. Then there was silence for half an hour. The next heard was, "Into line," the voices being those of young men. From fifty to seventy-five shots were then heard all at once at the word of command. Fifteen or twenty more shots were then fired at irregular intervals, and then the party was off. It was ascertained that one of the negroes was missing, who about twelve o'clock, returned, and, being dis covered, was shot and killed. The negro Brown, who was wounded in the thigh and had his ankle broken in the first shooting, was also finally killed. The party of men, unknown but undisguised, went to the jail in the quiet hours of the night, and over came the guards and forced the . jall. They they then took the negroes, five in number, from the custody of the jailer, and taking them a short distance from the town of Huntingdon, shot them dead, the body of each being riddled with bullets. As the doom of the negroes was made known, they freely and fully confessed to the mur der of Col. Coleman on last Saturday night. Col. Coleman was an old and estimable citizen, and the atrocity of his murder had exasperated the citizens to the highest pitch of excitement. They not only confessedto the murder of .Coleman, but they confessed to being the same party who in disguise murdered young Idr. Hurt some weeks since. They also confessed that, disguised LIB "Ku-Klux," they had committed many other aggravated offences, involving terror and the loss of property in the same locali ty, such as stealing, pillaging, burning and plundering, etc. Under a knowledge of these facts the feelings of the people were intensified to exasperation by the murder of Mr. Coleman. and the community called loudly for vengence. Without presuming to endorse or condemn this summary method of punishment for crimes so atro cious and fiendish, from what we can learn the verdict of public opinion exculpates tho parties from blame in the premises. A Great Battle in Caba--The Instirgenla Vietortotut. NU EITITS,S Jan. 26, 1870. The campaign under the Dominican Gen eral Puello, inaugurated with so great a flourish of trumpets and proclamations, and which was to restore the Camagacy to obedience to the Spanish government, has come to a disastrous conclusion, and the forces of that officer which remain have re turned here broken and dispirited after suffering a terrible defeat from an enemy they affected so much to despise. The column arrived at Raga, on the opposite side of the bay on the 22d, and on the 23d reached here. It is hard to conceive so great a change in men in so short a time. They had gone out well armed, clothed and equip ped ; they return weary, covered with filth and presenting such an air as is only seen in the defeated soldier. The severely wounded were brought across the bay in launches, twelve of these being tilled with them, while many others but slightly in jured accompanied the column by land. XAs stated in my letter of that date, the column of General Puello left here on the '_ssth of December, moving in the direction of Guaimaro. It numbered front 2,500 to 3,000 men of all arms, and was accompanied by twenty-thee mounted cavalry volunteers from Puerto Principe, thoroughly acquaint ed with the country, to act as guides. From the day of their setting out to their return the forces were under an almost incessant fire, a greater portion of the time unseen, and which for this reason had a very de moralizing effect on the men. On the Ist of January (as say the Spaniards, when be tween Palo Quemado and Guaimaro) they came upon a fortified position of the insur gents, strong by nature and strengthened by all the resources of military art. From the accounts it scents that the locale of this position was made known to Puello by a negro who presented Iffinselfand the Spanish °thous frankly admit that had not this knowledge been obtained they would all have been killed or captured. They attacked the position,from behind which the Cubans poured a tire of musketry and artillery, which caused dreadful havoc among the troops,killing and wounding more than 3011 men. All of Puello's staff were dismounted and many wounded. The General's horse was killed and himself wounded or bruised in the leg. Among the wounded were Col. Arvaz, of the regiment "La Reyna," a brave and capable officer; Colonel Marin, of the artillery, and an officer of German birth whose name I did not learn. The Spaniards say they took the place, but on the following day "fell back' to Arroyo Hondo, where they remained fifteen days, resting, taking care of the wounded and otherwise recruiting from the effects of the fight. Thence the retrograde march com menced, necessarily the slowest, as the wounded had to be carried with the column, which was fired upon at every step. Posi tions for the night had to be selected and partially intrenched, with much time and labor, which accounts for the length of time taken up by the return. The loss among the officers in killed and wounded was very great. Of the seven teen, in the regiment "Laßeyna" but three escaped unhurt; the regiment "Chiclano" lost two ; the marine regiment two, and the cavalry one killed and one wounded. These are reported, but there is known to be more, the entire number being estimated as high as thirty-six. Both officers and soldiers aro eloquent over the hardships which they endured and which were, no doubt, very great. They were without salt for their beet, and much of the time with out vegetables. They speak in the highest terms of the gallantry of the insurgents, whose fighting qualities astonished ninny who had been led to believe them a set of arrant cowards. A colonel relates that in a hand to hand encounter ho lost sonic of the insignia of rank front his sleeve and all of his overcoat. A part of a volunteer regi ment from Puerto Principe formed part of the column, and is said to have behaved in a very cowardly manner, screening them selves in every possible way from the bul lets of the enemy. No estimate can be made of the loss of insurgents, concerning which the Spaniards evidently know noth ing.--.N. Y. Herald. More Bloody Work in Iloyti. A dispatch from Port an Prince says that the work of the military commission which tried Salnave and sentenced him to death is not yet ended. The cases of several of his generals, and of the most prominent and influential of his friends among the oivilians, yet remain to be disposed of in Port au Prince, and in most of the southern towns.the shooting of Picquets is going on briskly. At Jeremie a large number of those unfortunate people have been put to death, and at Jacmel more than forty of them are in prison, doomed to die on an early day. The spirit of vengeance has been fully roused, and the victorious revolution ists have expressed their deternlitation to crush out the Salnave party. The Cocos are crying out for blood, and unless more moderate and merciful councils should pre vail than those ruling at present, a reign of terror may be expected in Hayti. John Diehl, convicted of the murder of Richard W. Harlan, was sentenced to be hanged, at Reading, on Moaday last. Diehl, who now gives hia name as Zachariali4l,43nyder f says-he—had a quarrehwith-Harlan, who drew a wea pon and demanded his effects, and that 'he then struck Harlan with s. hatchet, and went his way, not knowing that he had killed the man.
