There is ne dOnlit that the gentkirien Who ,

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

GRANT AND THE GOLD RING.
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. - ,

A very interesting. contribution to Lippin4.

extract:
BOW PRENTICE INCUBATES 'BIS JONES.
Mr. Prentice's forte as an editor consists in
his wit and sarcasm. At his table, with his

him, he pulls - forth strings of witty sayings

of silken ribbons from a hat. ,Whenever .a
point suggests itself he will' jot' it'down, no

A REBEL'S ISTIARY.
Why Gen. 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,
