Tho revolution of Cuba has changed il8
chrysalis for llio full grown fly. The first
blood has been spilled. Cob, sorrws seem
to think, has her Lexington. Tho piwlici
lars of lha nccounls which wo receive from
the interior are exceedingly various, but all
unite upon fhi!Trr3 greit fact that thrt pro
nunciamcnlG has berxi made, and n slight ad
vantage gained over tho troops. The people
f f riticipo have been the first to draw the
sword.
One of the most probable versions of the
affair idiho following : Under pretence of
celebrating Saint John's and Saint Peter's
festivals (which occur on the 84th and 30th
June, respectively,) and in consequence, by
some order of the government, of their not
Leing 'celebrated in Puerto Principe, a gath
ering of peoplo was made a few leagues
from tho city, on the fourth day of July.
tTho Governor, anticipating some open act,
Sent a detachment of dragoons to disperse
them. These did not come up to the Cu
ban until evening, when they were attacked
and forced to retire with a loss of (according
to some accounts) 20, and others 60 men1
When llio troops had fled, the Cubans retir
ed to the hill, where they have formed an
entrenched camp, and are driving in cattle,
collecting forage and men, and arms. It is
said that Puerto Piincipe, Neuvitas, and all
tho adjacent country has been abandoned by
the young men, who aro supposed to have
gone to join tho insurgents. The point
where they are collecting is in the hills of
Najassa. This prnnounciamento was follow
ed by another at Tunis, a village about half
way between Trincipo and St. Jago J and
it is supposed that the rising has, before
this time, become general in tho centre and
eastern part of tho island. In the ofllcial
accounts, which you will rind in, to-day's
Gaccta, you will observe that no report,
later than the 5th, is given from Print
cipe.
Letters have been received up to tho 10th
by which we learn that a detachment of
troops had boon scut out, but did not con
sider itself strong enough to penetrate the
hill country. It is feared that a correspon
ding movement may be made here and I
am told that on Saturday iii",.tf last, very
strong patiols were about, as though some
movement was anticipate.). The revolution
having begun, it cannot go backward J and
it is more than probable that tho days of
Spain's rule here, are at least to bo much
embarassed. Tho government count 14,000
troops and no more, in all the Island, and
may, perhaps, bo able to raise as many
more from tho Spanish population ; but their
fleet is a good one, comprising some twenty
sail, of which are six steamers. Whether
the struggle be a lor.g or short one, will de
pend upon the aid and comfort" the Cubans
receive from tho United Stales in tho shape
of guns, pistols, powder, ball, and men that
can teach them to organize and manmuvre.
The Spanish troops are scattered all over the
island, and cannot with facility be now con
centrated. If, therefore, the movement be
comes at all general, they will probably fall
or pass to tho other side a thing that is not
at all improbable and whispers thereanent
are already abroad. Tho Civil war in Spain
has so accustomed tho army to change sides
that there is hardly a regiment that has not
fought once or more for each. It i. this, it
appears to me, that makes tho fidelity of tho
Spanish army such a strango contradiction.
True to their colors, but following their col
ors either way.
P. S. 4, P. M. Letters from Trincipe
atate that the troops are deserting in squads
to the insurgents. Two steamers leave to
morrow with reinforcements. A rumor is
about town that Triuidud will rise to mor-

Notwithstanding the counter statements
again put forth by this Government, this
morning, 1 confirm all the previous iufoima
which you will find in my letter of yester
day's date, relative to the revolution going
on in the interior and eastern district of this
jsland, with the addition that similar move
ments have taken place at Las Tunas, Sa
beccu, Byamo, Trinidad, and Pino del Rio,
and that it is positively staled that great
numbers of the troops have gone over to the
insurgent. Tho government do all in their
power to prevent tho true stato of things
becoming known to the people of the capi
tal, and it is easily to be perceived they are
under great apprehension and alarm. Near.
y all the vessels of war have been sent to
sea, and the steamer Blusco de Garcy sailed

Judge all appear in fine health and spirits.
A thi will be the last rsslon that will be
held at this lace, ,y the present Bunch,
we cannot ',et tho subject pass without
soma comment. Judges, Gibson and Ro
gers, have been for many years, annual
visitants to this place. During the long
period of their Judicial career they have
freely commingled with our citizens, and
those of (he neighboring counties in the
district, when business called them before
the Court. We know we speak but the
common sentiments of all, when we say
that these associations will not be severed
without regret. Judges, Cnulter and Dell,
have not been upon the Bench so long,, but
long enough to acquire the esteem of all
who have had any intercourse with them,
professionally or otherwise. Judge Cham
bers has been but recently appointed, and
has thus far given general satisfaction.
Some of the Judges who are candidates,
will no doubt be elected. Those who re
tire vviH carry with them the best wishes
of our citizens for their future welfare and
happiness.

REVOLT IS ( IDA,
It is evident that Cuba cannot long re
main under its present rulers. The' news
in another column in relation to the insur
rection that has broken out in that beauti
ful island, will be hailed with delight by
aluiC5t every American citizen. If the
Cubans can only maintain their ground a
few moiitlwi, and if possible, secuie a port
on the Coast, tliey will soon have suffi
cient "aid and comfort" from the United
States, to enable them to free themselves
from bondage. The government of Spain
cannyt hold Cuba if she is true to hetself.

It is probably but little known, that un
der the administration of President Polk,
an oiler was made by the Spanish govern
ment at Madrid, through a 11 agent sunt to.
Washington, for the sale of the island of
Cuba. President Polk deemed the price
asked as exorbitant, and thought that it
could be procured for a much less sum,
In the meantime the matter leaked out and
created no little sensation among the dip-
lomates of Europe, The Spanish Minister,
of course, denied the truth of the report,
and our Minister at the Court of Spain,
(Mr. Saunders we think,) became some
what involved in the difficulties growing
out of the transaction. We have these
facts from high and undoubted authority,
which at the present lime, when the Cu
bans are making eflorts to lree themselves,
will prove inteivstinz.

CALIFORNIA NEWS.
late news from California, shews that
they have had some exciting times at San
rrancisco. Gold is still coming in every
steamer, and in large quantities. Owing
to the vast amount of crime which has
been perpetrated for a length of time, a
number of citizens resolved to take the law
into their own hands. The following is a
short sketch of a case of terrible and sum
mary punishment, by Lynch Law, at that
plaoe.
This city on llio lupht of tha 10th inst.,
was the scene of one of too most appalling
irageuica thut has ever been transacted with
in its limits,
About 9 o'clock on Tuesday night, a man
carrying a bog containing something appa
rently quite heavy, attracted the attention of
the Whitehall boatmen ot their station on
Central Wharf, He jumped into a boat with
his bag and pulled out toward the end of the
wharf. But a few moments had elapsed be
fore Mr. Virgin, a frnntlemen who keeps a
Shipping office on tho wharf, came down to
the boat stand in pursuit of a person who had
just robbed his office of a small iron safe,
containing a considerable sum of money.
The man with the baa was ot once suspecl
ed, and a numbci of tho boatmen stoned im
mediately in pursuit. After a sharp pull
they overhauled him, when he threw his
booty overboard. After a very severe strug
glo one party of boatmen succeeded 111 cap
turing him, while another fished up the bag,
which proved to contain tho stolea safe.
He was conveyed on shore, and at once
taken possession of by somo of the vigilant
committee, who conducted him promptly to
their headquarters, where ho was tried in
presence of about eighty mcmbeis of tho
eoncliive silting wilh closed doors, by them
convicted and sentenced to be hung in the
Portsmouth Square that very night.
About 2 o'clock tho doors of the Commilte
room were opened, and tiws condemned was
for tho first time presented to the populace.
He was a Kill man of a very great muscular
developments, and with a rather forbidding
countenance. Ho was smoking a cigar,
and appeared ra.th.er pule, but composed.
His arms were pinioned and his liand&lied
behind him, while ho was surrounded by a
rope thickly manned by armed men, many
olhers closing 011 them, determined to pre
vent his escape. In this manner, followed
by a largo crowd, ho was conducted to the
public square. His arrival was announced
with a, shout and every description of vocif
eration tho wildest scene of confusion and
excitcmuut prevailing we have witnessed
for a loug lime. Tho moon obscured Vy
clouds shed no light, and the picture presen
ted was wild and m,ost awful in the ex
treme. Some persons climbed the liberty polo to
rig a block for the execution, but a loud
shout of "don't hang him on tho liberty pule''
arose. Voices screamed out, :lo the old
adobe," and a rush was niad for that edi
fice, upon the corner of tho square, formerly
occupied as the Custom House. A rush was
at once made for tho end of the building, a
block rL'ijed and long rope run throush
it. In Iho meantime a number of the Po
lice, who were on tho ground, made several
attempts to obtain possession of iIhj prisoner
but I Ley were roughly handled and preven
ted had they persisted they would have
been riddled with balls. Several citizens
denounced tile execution and sougl.t to aid
tho I'ofieo.
The prisoner by this time was nearly
dead with fear and rough handling, w hen u
rush made toward him, a nooso thrown over
his head, tlie rope manned by tvveuty ready
hands, ami the heavy form of Ihe convicted
felon swept through the air and dangled
from the block. A few fearful struggles, a
piiver uf Ihe Lenipifn cord, a few nervous
twitches, and tko crowd gazed upon tho life
less corpse of him upon whom such speedy
nod terrible vengenee had been execu'ed by
an outraged people. As he swung to and
fro and turned round and round, a, feeling of
awe appeared to spiend through tho crowd,
who could not be otherwise than impressed
by ihe terrible occurrence. Slowly they
dispersed, but when day broke there were
still many gazing upon the swdleu, purple
featuic of the doomed man.
More, or It TJ10 Washington Union,
referring to ihe fact that tho Grand Jury had
found true bills for perjury against Dr. Gardi
ner, who is now in Kuiope, and against bis
brother, in the matter of the Mexican claims,
says :
'We have heard many complaints against
the late Mexican board, and of the wrong
fulness of many of Ihe awards made by il ;
but, as we have 110 authority to send for
"peisona and papers," we must wait for fur
ther developments before we can venluio to
givo currency to the statements which have
reached us. Congress will doubtless silt the
action of the board ; aud if a tithe of what
we have heard be satisfactorily proved, the
Galphiii case will be forgotten "

Wednesday, 8 o'clock P. M.
We scarcely know how or where to begin
to speak of ihe very destructive flood that
visited (his section of tho country this morn
ning. In the afternoon of yesterday we had
several light showers but in the evening,
from 7 to 10 o'clock, tho rain fell pretty
heavily, and from 10 to 2 this morning, at
times it came down in perfect torrents, ac
companied with lha most frinhlful thunder
and lightning ever heard. More rain fell
hero ihan was ever known to fall in the
same length of lime. Mel ween 3 and 4
o'clock, Crooked Creek, Muddy Run, Spruce

many olhers, having emptied their floods
into tho Juniata, eho wag at her highest, or
nearly so, as the flood of '47. Tho streams
above named wero never known to be so
high, or the destruction along them so great.
On the stream at ShafTervsille, above Water
street, we regret to learn the house occupied
and wc believe owned, by Mr. Robert Kin
kcad, was, with his whole family, a wife
and si. children, and a Miss Ilileinan,, swept

been found.
. The cecps of wheat on the low lands along
the Juniata and tho other streams, wcie
principally cut during lust week, ami there
having been but very little hauled in, neatly
the whole has been swept away or lodged
in a damaged slalo on islands or against
fences.
Before and aftei the break of day, the
river waa almost covered wilh wheal, lum

&c., mules, cattle, hog, sheep, fowl, &c, &.
Ouo large boat passed over Ihe Huntingdon

At MConnalstown,, on Crooked Creek,
there was great destruction of propmty.
Tho dwellings of Mr. John Coulter and a
Mr. Strikler and a small house belonging to
Mr. Fraker. ami also the tannery buildings
in the yards of Mr. Protzman ami Mr. Lang'
with all their hides, j,e., were-swept away.
Mr. Couller uud Mr. Strickler, did not save
anything, so sudden was tho lise of Ihe
stream but fortunately their families cot
nut in time to savo their lives. All the
farmers on Crooked Creek tor tjn miles
from tho river, have met wilh heavy losses.
A gentleman who has lived iu that neigh

there never was so much rain f-11 there be.

Tho citizens cf Pollslown, at the west end
of this borough, deserted their homes about
2 o'clock this morning. The town was
completely covered wilh water. The gar
dens arc destroyed, and many moveable ur.
tides around the houses were washed away.
Many of tho ciliz-ensof Sniiihlield, opposite
this place, also deserted their lunises lor sa

In tliis boiough, the-water came to Ihe
second street in ihe upper end, completely
sin rounded the dwelling of Gun. Wilson, and
carried away both the turupske and mill
blidges. Between the ruilioad aud river,
all the gardens ami tir.-t sloiiesof many of
the houses wero under water, and many nf
the families left for higher ground. The
tan yards of the Messrs. Millers were com
pletely overilowed. Their hides were tlnat

each, $100 or tiOO.
Tho families on Fi.-her & MeMurlrio's

The canal is very much injured. Be

embankment has been torn away badly. It
will cost at least SoOm to repair Ihe canal
between this and the dam. Above ihe d;im
at Bell's lock, there has also been coiiMdera
blo damage done; and most-likely hishei
up the damage is greater. Below, we hear
that Ihe embankment is washed away in
several places. The aqueduct ut Mill Creek
is gone. At about 6 o'clock this morning
the river began to fall very rapidly, and at
this time it has fell about 10 feet. Our citi

are now busily engaged iu shnvcliug out and
fixing up again. A more sudden, unexpec

wine-glass of good brandy if the shock is
severe.. If not infallible, it is remarkable
in its effects, and well worth being tried
and known in every family.
