Cassanova was a captain of banditti ; lodged in a place Called-Yenta de 1 Contramaestrie, and in the, year MT he was captured, tried, and imprisoned, but through 'theAtalittence — or — tlie — gitild'• — of , his father- in-law he was released by the Span iards, and again . let loose • upon the public. Tamayo, unforttmately, is a native. Cuban ; but he has lived fourteen years in Spain, in which place he had not a very high reputation.. Knowing .the character of .Tam ayo, the Provisional Government sent him to Cuba to till the post of Judge in one of the ju risdictions; and after his arrival he was chosen by the then Captain-General,. Duke, to pro ceed to• the insurgent campi under a flag of truco,to negotiate with the Cuban leaders: But the latter refused to receive such an envoy, and the rcidents of Santiago , themselves ex- Pressed disanprobation that such a character bad been chosen lot so important and honor able a position.- Yet it was on the statements of two such persons that twenty-one Cubans were put to death by the Spattia.rds, and at the very moment when they Were assured ofsafety. The army of the East is under orders of General Fiancisco.Aguilera,who has his head quarters in Ramon, his forces amounting to B,ooo,eommanded by Felix Figueredo, Donate del 31arrool and Maximo Gomez.

The Slanders Against the President. The New Vork Timm to-day says editorially : UndisMaved by previous discomtitures, the organs of the Gold Ring have renewed their attempts to identify the President with the re cent transactions of Fisk and Gould. From one infamrthey have descended to another. To sustain their position they now publish what purports to be a letter, or an extract from a letter, addressed by3frs."Grant to Mr. Corbin, in which Gen. Grant is represented as " very much annoyed" at Corbin's specula tions: "`he tries not to be influenced by them, but fears he is." Of the appropriation of a lady's , private let ter—supposing it to be genuine—for the pur pose of casting discredit upon her .husband, nothing need be said. The men who formed the gold-gambling conspiracy are not likely to be scrupulous in the choice of means for thd attainment of their ends. They who laid traps at street corners that they might be seen speaking to the President; would not hesitate to purloin a private letter if its possession Were necessary for their purpose. • • But we brand the letter, and the extract from the letter, as forgeries. No such letter as that which the Gold Ring gave to the public yes - terday was ever "written by Mrs. Grant. Not a line ever proceeded from that lady or from the President in an • l• • Old. •• directing gold or any other speculations. Any letter which is alleged to have been written by either, of the nature of that which has been published, is a base and wicked fraud. It is a forgery, and one in'perfect keeping with other measures resorted to by the gold con spirators. Whether Mr. Corbin has at any time pre tended to be in receipt of special advices in regard to his - snpeulations,from the President or from Mrs Grant, we cannot undertake to say. He is evidently a weak man, and has played a very foolish part. In one way or other, he, .has been associated • with the Erie gang, and has• been an instrument in their bands.' For what he may have said • or done, neither General nor Mrs. Grant is accountable. He must bear the consequences of his folly, and must divide with his • speculative .as sociatos -the responsibility for the scandal which has been cast upon the President and his household.. _ The essential fact in the comroversy, aid that which no amount of details can be al lowed to keep out of sight; is the total absence of all connection between the President and the gold speculation. Whether Corbin or But terfield is better or,worse than he professes to be, is a small matter in the estimation of the public. That which • concerns the country in this connection is ; the con, duct ;of Its -President., And since it has been afresh impugned; we .assert most positively, as we asserted in the first instance, that at no time, in noway, has General Grant, or Mrs. Grant, had the remotest interest in any speculative transaction, whether (relating to gold or bonds. Neither with Corbin - nil! Fisk, neither with. Butterfield nor Gould, have they held correspondence touching the late gold conspiracy; and any allegation to the contrary is unqualifiedly false. - , IIidEiCIIME D. PRENIICE. Itensinisceimes of Western Journalism. A very interesting. contribution to Lippin4. cott's Magazine for November is that in which Charles G. Shanks gives his reminiscences of George D. Prentice, once the, most famous editor is the South and West. rWe give an extract: BOW PRENTICE INCUBATES 'BIS JONES. Mr. Prentice's forte as an editor consists in his wit and sarcasm. At his table, with his spare motes and. a rapid amanuensis before him, he pulls - forth strings of witty sayings from his brain as a magician pulls forth coils of silken ribbons from a hat. ,Whenever .a point suggests itself he will' jot' it'down, no matter where he is or what lacoommodations for jotting down are at hand.✓ He generally has a pencil and ,a slip of paper, Sometimes only the debris of an old enveope, abc;ut him, but for a desk he will win; equal readiness PHILADELPHIA, FA.IpAIrOCTOBER:..4',2;:IB:6O. make use >of his hat or a (lead wall ~or a lamp-post.

When he feels in clined to.wit he takes from receptacles, where he has placed his more fortunate notes,, thick slips; of tiny manuscripts, With bare sugges tions of a .loke. On these he commences a process of incubation that is quite as rapid as that of the famous hen-persuader. He dic tates in a slow and serious manner, with his eyes fixed alternately on his own little slip of paper and on the ceiling, punctuating as he goes, never halting.to supply a: ord or two to, embellish a figure, but straight on, as, fluently,as Wendell , Phillip: or Susan 0.

Magruder Entered the Rebel • BaroN, Oct. 21.—At the annual dinner of a military company in this. city on. Tuesday, Gen. Magruder made an interesting address, iu the course of which he said : " "I am now going to give an account, Which if .can be made public it may be considered desirable, and which is the first time I have ever alluded to it--of the circumstances under which I left the flag. During the dark, dayis in Washington Mr. Lincoln sent jor the, I then being either first or second in command in the defences of Washington.. Mr. Lincoln said 'to me, 'The government of your State (Virgin* refuses to , send her quota' of 75,000 men called for.' Imagining . that he would like to know in case the State went out what I would do,I said to him, 'Of one thing rest assured, Mr. Lincoln, so . long as lam in command you and yourfamily may rest in perfect safety in the White House, and if I send in my resignation, you shall be apprised of. it at the some time that it goes to the Adjutant-General, and'l promise to remain in the city twelve hours afterward', adding laughingly, 'I - wish to be 'well off with the old love before lam on with the new. Mr. Lincoln laughingly said, 'I will help you to be well od-With the old love' I did remain . thirteen hours after my resignation, and. then made my way to Long Bridge. When I reached the draw it. was. three minutes past nine o'clock at night, and thedrawbridge had been raised three minutes. The Lieutenant in com mand of the company stationed there was Lieut. Baird, now a Major-General of. the 11. S. Army. 'and his company being in my regi ment, all the' men knew me.' I said to Lieut. Baird, 'I have this favor to ask of you, that you will let. me pass the draw? The Lieuten ant's reply was, in substance; 'I wish you bad not to make the request, and I would to God you were coming from Virginia instead of going to it.' He, however, let me pass." .Gen. 3.lagrudersaid the straggle in his mind was between.a sense of iris duty to the flag and his country, on the one hand, and all those ideas anti feelings which were bred in him as a Virginian, on the other. "I placed my for tunes in this one bark:, and after a long dark night all was lost, save my honor." :We then paid a tribute of respect to others of his com panions in arms who had embraced the cause of secession, believing in its right and justice, and claimed that such men were actuated by no unworthy principles. In conclusion, he expressed his readiness ,and anxiety to do all in his poWer to heal up the wounds caused by -- tbe=War . ; to reunite the long sundered ties,and .to cherish all that Was ' left of the fraternal feeling which must form the basis of the true Union for which he earnestly hoped. THE SEIZURE OF THE CUR 41. . _ Full' Particulars of the Surrender-- Direct Action of the President--The Crew sent Ashore `andDisbanded. (From the Wilmington (N C.) Journal, Oct. 20th.] Yesterday morning Deputy United States Marshal Neff and Collector Rumley, with an officer of the revenue cutter,b.oariled the Cuban steamer Cuba with a writ of libel and demanded the surrender of the ship. Com mander Dornin, in. charge of the vessel, mediately despatched for Conimodore Hig gins, who repaired on board. The demand for the surrender being repeated, Commodore Biggins replied that by order of the President of the United States, his vessel was lying quietly in the harbor awaiting the issue of the trial now pending before the United States Commissioner. He protested in the name of the republic of Cuba, of 'whose navy .he was an officer, against any rnoleStation on the part, of the officers of the government, Upon the officer insisting upon the sur . -rende”_-tlie.-Com •• • • • • • • • • - • ,to the, civil officers, but.would obey the orders of the President of the United States oif other competent authority coming thrOugh the °ill- Cers of the United States. Navy. The Deputy Marshal repaired on board the United States gunboat Frolic, and immediately Lieutenant Pearson, executive officer of the Frolic, pro ceeded on board of the Cuba and demanded the surrender of the ship by order of the Pres ident of the United States ' which he exhibited to Commodore Higgins. That officer, protest ing against the action of the Government in seizing a man-of-war belonging to a foreign power, surrendered his vessel to Lieutenant Pearson, at the same time handing his sword and *surrendering himself and .command . as prisoners of war to the united States. The vessel was turned'over into the charge of Morella] Neff, nfter placing a guard of some twenty United States marines upon the Cuba. The Marshal gave orders at once to send the _crew ashore and ,disband them. Commodo_re_ Higgins again remonstrated against this action. , The men were regularly enlisted in the Cuban navy, and the action of the government officers would result in the total disbandment of the ship's crew, aid would place - it out of the power of the officers to man the ship if she should be discharged by the government. The crew were sent ashore and discharged. , The parole given by the officers of the Cuba and accepted by the government has been vio lated by the latter, and we suppose they are now in charge of the Marshal, who becomes responsible for their safe-keeping until the 'hearing before Commissioner Rutherford is concluded. . ' • This action of the President of the United States is most-extraordinary,,under all the cir cronstanceS otthe,case. By an order the ves .sel is seized and virtually conti.scated while she is being tried before the proper tribunal see if she has even rendered herself liable to be tried for any Violation of the law—before, in deed, she had • bebn. held , for trial. The dis bandin of the crew • effects all that Spain could do in her captnie;for the officers, if the vessel should-be discharged, would not be allowed ,to*" recruit in a port of the United States. • _ •Vhis action, of course, disposes of the case of the. Cuba before the': Commissioner, and transfers it to the; District Court.. The trial of the officers will be resumed ou Thursday. ''• The* turning loose of one hundred sailors and marines; without control and without moneY, in our city, is an , outrage upon our, citizens, and the. Idayershouldtteldt-and.the people - -oughilis - hold, the Marshal responsibbi for their g, ood behavior., ,Unless some provision is made for them by the* G - overnment or city we expect to hear of much, trouble.

'., • - ' The Baron repeats the story of his. travels in Spain in 1865; and adds that he has had an office in Paris since 1861 -as Governthent con tractor for artillery and ships of war; ; had made large contracts, some of which he enu merates, amounting to an aggregate 012,000,- 000 francs, making 1,100,000 franasprOfits. In sales of gluts to the Danish, Prussian, Bra zilian, and Grecian Governments, and the Danubian' Principalities, he made "further profits of 620,000 francs, so that in 1865 his per sonal fortune was at least 5300,000 in gold. Further contracts in Chile and other South American States in 1866 brought him $160,000, 'gold. He had an immense guano speculation, and owns large copper mines in Bolivia. . , 1 • Iliviere says that the title of Baron is hereditary in his family ; 'that his father is Counsellor General of the Department of the Loire, and is worth 2,000,000 . francs; that he (the Baron) intends to become a permanent resident of this city, and has not received any property from his wife, Miss Blount, or any of her family ; on the contrary, he has given her all the property she now owns.

But three weeks' work now re main to 'be done before the canal will, it is said, ; he ready to receive the larg,est . steamers engaged in the Mediterranean and India-Chi na service throughout its entire length. M. de Lessep.s, who is at present on the Istlimu.S*su perintending, the completion of the work in _person, as . already. announced,has_navigated tho entire channel of the canal from Port Said. to Suez, accomplishing the trip in fourteen hours and a , half. The ordinary transit of heavy draught steamers, such a.s the Peninsu lar and Oriental. company employ, will occupy about twenty hours.. Though no actually official proganuno has yet been published, it is decided that the open ing will take place as originally announced,'. on the I.7th of November ; tind'from all I have been"able' to learn I have no doubt that the ceremonies' which will mark the inauguration will be on a scale fully commensurate, not only , with the extent and character of the work itself, but also with the importance of the com mercial and political interests involved in its successfnl operation. • ' The Empress Eugenie will, it' is hoped, be present.. 'lt'-is not . yet known , whether there will be any representative from the British Court, but something of, vastly greater im portance, both to ,the canal company and to the public atlarge,is known—that is, that there Rill be a numerous and "influential delegation of Britigh merchants there. ' Russia, Prussia and AustriaWill' also be largely:represented.. Invitations have been issued by the Viceroy; through , agent "in 'Parls, - M: Rammaunaf Bey, to the - officers , Of, the several European chambers of Commerce.; to the leading. mgt.' neers and.tomost of the heads of scientific col- , leges and 'schools. Upwards ofirk invitations have been sent to the New York press alone, Those for the. United States were forwarded by the last French steamer. ; The gathering on the Lstlunus, especially at.
