BRECRINRIDOE IN CUBA.--It has already been stated that John C. Ilreck inridge had arrived in Cuba, in company with Col. Taylor Wood, formerly comman der of the Taßahasa() ; Cal. Wilson, one of Jell'. Davis' late aids, three rebel soldiers and a colored servant. They were, with the ex ception of Wood, about six,ty miles from .loff. Davis when he we:, captured, but managed to elude the Union troops, and traveled across the States of Georgia end Florida to the coast, where they secured a small boat and put to sea, arriving at Cardenas on the 11th instant, after three days and nights passed almost entirely without eating ioo sleeping. Wood was with Davis when he was captured, but, managed to risen! e. At Cardenas they were serenaded and received marked attention from the Spanish 6overnor and people. They . subsequently proceeded to Havana, where they expected to remain for some time, The Babel Con. Slaughter. lately in command at Brownsville, Texas, was also in Havana, having arrived on board a steamer from Matamoras. A BATCH OF TRAITORS INDICTED AT NOR FOLK.:—OIIr dispatches give a list of thirty seven leading rebels who have been indieted for treason by the United States Court al Norfolk, Virginia. Among the number ere Robert E. LeO, late Gencral-in-Chief of the rebel armies ; Jas. A, Seddon, late rebel secretary of Wnr ; Thos. S, Bueock, late Speaker of the rebel House of Repre:,enta iives ; Henry A. \Vise, Wade Hampton, and other prominent traitors, chiefly in the mil itary service. Some of these defiantly bear ing arms against the Government of the United States, including General Lee, are understood now to be humble supplicants to President Johnson for pardon. It i hole•d that this will at least be deferred until they have been put upon their trial and convict ed. FROM EUROPE.—Additional foreign 'ROWS by the Asia hits been received.

The Army and Nary (,raze llr denounces the de sign of the President as blood-thirsty, but thinks that he will shrink from executing it. The Progressive Party in the French Legis lative Body intend to send an address to ?resident Johnsor, reminding him that the French Republic of 1818 abolished capital punishment for political oillenees, and recom mending the application of 11. e ~t inie princi ple with regard. to oun• prisoners. The French Legislative Body haul an interesting debate on the Mexican question, tire opposi tion Leprecating the expedition, and fl ppre bending future complications with the [lilted States. The Government diaCed that there was any 'reason for apprehending such eom plications. H Itn.r.Sli RO, 11110 21 —\t t ano otl'r military posts through the State there ere a large , number of per-sixs,s Vt,: , military authorities, charged with offences. :Many of those thus held are men of respectability in their localities, men of b us i ness , w h o suffer peculiar hardship in be ing thus detained, and who have been !MN .IOIISIy waiting a trial. Governor Curtin has been making the most strenuous ellort , to have the cases of the , 4iStateprisoners brought before the proper authorities, that they may either he punished if guilty, or be immediate ly set at liberty if innocent. The Govern ment at Washington has been rideasing a large number of prisoners held in the South, as well sh sending home scores of (Abet • CUll - lined in the different forts of the North: With these facts before the public, it is deem ed no more than right that the prisoner; Mild at the various posts in this and other States, charged with trivial military ramifies, should at once be set at liberty. The object of (4ov. Curtin in urging this matter is to save the national authorities from being misjudged by the Northern masses, awl to prove the good sense of the policy of acting with mag nanimity towards the erring, ignorant men of the North, as well as the Caine class in the South. COMPENSATION OF F EFDM EN.—Major General 0. 0. Howard, commanding this Bureau, has prepared a very interesting cir cular in regard to the compensation of freed men in the late rebellious States. lie says: Much trouble criers on account of the dif ficulty of fixing just and equal rates of com pensation for the labor of refugees and freed men. lam disinclined to fix even minimum rates that should apply in all cases. The diversity of circumstances is so great that I believe justice can be better approximated by contracts approved by the Assistant Commis sioner, Superintendent of Freedmen, or other officers on duty in 'connecti .n with this Bo rOnu.. They must, however, satisfy them selves as to what is a just compensation for the different classes of labors in the localities coining under their immediate supervision. If the Commissioner fixes a rate of compen sation, there will seldom be paid anything beyond that rate. Be sure, however, to . protect„theemployee against labor without compensation. The employer is protected. by his contract,. which the employee, when treated with good faith, is bound to fulfil. Lier The NoW York Woria has a spe c i a l correspondent travelling through North Car olina, who writes . from Greensborough as follows : " The destitute ration has been dropped, except to the unemployed negroes, for the manifest reason that it fostered, idleness and fraud among the whites. There were no less than thirty thousand rations issued at Raleigh in a single day, and increasing. It is now reasoned that a State which could do so much for the needs of• the Confederate army can maintain its own people who ought to bo at work. There are feu, people at ?boric beside negroes. There is no trade. Field labor has been considered. the peculiar pro vince of the negro, except in the upland. counties. Confederate officers and soldiers arc loafing about the streets waiting for some thing to turn up, but not trying to turn au) anything." The New York Observer, in an able arti cle on church music, by its 'senior editor, thus speaks of the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organ; "" Here we have an organ, sweet, solemn, 'sortorous, and grand;' with your eyes shut you ea'pnot distinguish its sound 'from that of the pipe organ itself. It is so effective and beautiful as to moot the Alesires of the most refind and fastidious, and 'is all that is needed in' any church of ordinary • The Coining Fouitth - of The recommendation of Governor Cunxm that special pains should be taken to observe and celebrate the coming Fourth of, July, has been adopted by the Governors of a number of other Stites. We see that even a few Southern jthfrnals recommend its careful observance in the South, because it commem orates an event' in which all Americans can sincerely rejoice. ThD'e is yet another rea son why unusual honors should be paid to the approaching Anniversary of our National Independence. It is the first occasion on whicli, in spirit and in truth, in the North and in the South, and all over the land, we can give a cordial and unreserved endorse ment to the doctrines of the great charter of American freedom. For the first time can wo proclaim our approval Of the declaration that life, libeply end the pursuit of happi ness" are " inalienable rights of man,", without reference to race or color. For the first time eau we exhibit a national record not in direct conflict with the title by which we claimed n place among the nations of the earth. Cus.tem, oiim-titutional, obligations, and our peculiar systein of government, deadened our perceptions and lulled our con sciences, but a still, small voice lies ever and anon convicted us of hypocrisy and injus tice, and a gr()ss violation of the golden rule, " Po ye unto others as ye would that *others should do unto you, - The "glittering gen eralities" of . the Declaration of Indepen thinee could never be made to harmonize with a system ofslayery. They were based upon a broad and sweeping assertimi of the rights of -mini, which no casuistry could ex plain a way and T o sophistry reconcile with the practice of treating the colored race as chattels, and robbing them of all the rights and privileges which dignify life a nd elevate humanity. REBEL IGNORANCE In a speech recently made at Lowell m as s., General Butler is reported to have said that only one in eight of ten thousand rebel prisoner whose muster-out lists he saw was able his own name. The lact.is extremely interesting and instructive. No better argument has been made of the netting effrct of slavery on the white pop ulation whom it touches; no stronger ar gument in behalf of systematic public edu cation as an essential to republican liberty and lice government: nor no more convinc ing proof that tae rebellion was managed by the clan, of a few, and carried out by work ing On the ignorances and prejudice , of the many. Only little over one thousand of the army which we had captured fighting against its OWll . best good as well as ours, could have known more than the garbled find take reports sot afloat for the war. I They court not road and :0 relied on what 1 they heard. They heard the lies of false, deigning men, nod their very ignorance magnified the influences of the untruth.

The old homestead of Henry Clay, it seems, is now occupied by the family of lion. Thomas Clay, one of his sons, and present Minister to one of the South American Governments. It is owned by the heirs of Janice B. Clay, who, it will be remembered, died in Canada about a year ago. The house in which Mr. Clay lived when at home, was torn down some years since by Janice, and a magnifi cent structUre erected on its site, and there is nothing now about the place to 'remind one of hill' who once owned and honored it, except the family buggy in which the old man and his wife used to drive about, nod the oak trees in front of the house, beneath which he used to sit and talk with his fatally and friends. Mr. Clay had live sons. Four of them survived hini. One, who bore his father's name, was killed in the Mexican war,— Thomas, a., I have said, is now a Govern ment Minister. John is living on one-half of the old homestead, now divided into two farms. .lames died a fugitive in a foreign land, and Theodore (the oldest of the family) is, and hits been, for twenty-five years, an inmate of an insane asylum, still avowing to every ono with whom be converses that he is thu original George Washington, and re fusing to respond to a call by any other name / Mr. Clay had no possessions of any kind at the time of his death, with the ex ception of Ashland, which was, of course, worth a considerable sum ; but even that was heavily mortgaged, and ho thought at one tine ho would bo cbmpolled to abandon it to his creditors, until, ono day, when he entered -the bank to pay ono of his notes, ho was told that ho did not owe a cent..

A reliable system of protection, that would bo founded upon such a solid and enduring basis as would inspire universal confidence, and render it certain that a fair chance would be given to do all our own work on our own soil that can be well done here, would make this, in less than half a century, by .far the greatest manufacturing country in the world, and thus ensure' prosperity to all our other interests. Much has already been done. We have passed the preliminary stages of skilled industry. We have demonstrated our power in arts as well as in arms. No nation equals us in inventive genius, or in natural advan tages for the production of all kinds of man ufactures of iron, steLl, cotton and wool. We haVe learned most of the secrets of European manufacturers, and have taught them how to make , teamboats, telegraphs, reaping me chines, and lightning presses. It requires but a very superficial-view of a few of our cotton or woolen mills, machine shops, foun dries, forges and furnaces, to satisfy the most incredulous of the wondrous skill of the American artisans. All they need is a fair Aimee, to outstrip the boasted establishments of the Old "World in every apartment. ..11:ajor General JofiN qtARY is urged, by a - Writer in tini.lYlA9urgh as the fittest pan iii,fi*State'trYhe'cinife the candidate of the' IT nioh meh for Ihe - Gu - her'- nittorial succession in Pennsylvania. Gen. GEARY has a splendid reputation as n soldier, and is not without fame as a statesman. .the 'gallant General is now a citizen of New Cumberland, in our . own county, and it 'is with pride and plcasurethat we see him so honorably mentioned in the above. extract. At the head of his regiment, in Mexico, he first distinguished himself as a soldier; and as Mayor of San Francisco, and afterwards as Governor if Ks mes, he won for himself a high name as a civic ruler. During the late Rebellion, Gen. f Awn proved his de votion to the lnion upon many a hard fought battle field, in one of which lie was severely wounded, and by his gallantry and good conduct secured the confidence or hi, ,uperior, and the esteem and affection of his fellow soldiers and of the people. Gen. G EAET is Well acquainted with the true interest of Pennsylvania, and would make a capital Executive. Death of Hon. William' Wilkins.

WASHINGTON, Juno 25, 1866 The interview between the South 0111(A -:flans and the President yesterday, must have deeply impressed tho4e gen tl eme n no t o nly With the unimpeachable honesty and ifnpar tiality 'Of Mr. Johnson, but with his earnest determination to follow out the evident course plainly indicated by the events of the past four years. lie was particularly em phatic in his femenciations of the fact that Slavery had been wiped out solely by the ac tion of tne insurrectionists, and that this state of things must first be acknowledged before the States would again be received in to the Union. The delegates apparently Mend the plain common-sense arguments of the President unanswerable, and lat seem ingly convinced that Andy .Johnson, while disposed to do full justice to the people of the late rebellious States is not disposed to make any concessions in favor of an institu tion universally acknowledged to be dead without any hope of future resurrection. To the Associated PreFv. WAsill Snturday, Jun , 24. 180;5 A delegation from South Caro Hint consist ing of the following named persons, had, late this afternoon, an interview Iry appoint ment with the President : ,Itulge Frost, Isaac E. Holmes, George NV, NVilliams, W. it. Gillett, J. A. Sternmeyer, I , rederiels \\'ltale . l,., James 11. Taylor. It. 11. Giil and Joseph A. 'fates. The l're,,ident said it was hi, intention to talk plainly, sd that there 'night b. no mis understanding. Therefore, it were better they should look each other full in the lace and not imitate the ancient angurerF. who, when they met One another, could smile at their ,access in deceiving the people. Ile said that if thi,c Union wai to be preserved. it must be on the principle of fraternity, both the Northern and Southern States maintain ing certain relation.; to the Government. A State cannot. go out or the Limon, and, there fore, none of them having gone out, we must deal with the question of restoration and not reconstruction. Ile suspected that he trio better ; .. itittes Right, man than tioNv present. ]Tr. alway- so claimed to be. [Laughter.] The President replied that he alxvilyn thought that, Slavery could not be sustained outsidt of the ('onntitution of the ['lilted :" . tittes, and that when the experiment - was Wadi. lust. Whether it elillld or could not, he tvno for the I r nion, and if Sla very set itself up to control the Government, the Gi , vernment must tritinipli and Slavery perish. The institution or Slavery made the anal We alight as well meet it like wi,e and patriotic and honest men. All insditti tiole, must he submitted to the Government, and Slavery lies grout way. Ile could not if he wield remand it to its former status. llr know that some wheat he now addre„,,_ ed upon him an a great people's nun unit it radical. llut, Initvevcr unpleasant it might be to ttmin, he had no lie , itation in saying that liefore and after he entered pub lic lice he a, orpo-ed and iwrpetilities mid entail, For thin he, tined to tie denounced as a denitigogue.

The friction of the itebellion has rubbed out the nature and character of Slavery. 'n,,r,itt stmt who were contlielled to bow and submit to the Rebellion, should, now that tins Ite hellion is ended, ntand equal to loyal 'nen everywhere. Hence (lie wish of restoration, and the trying to get Intel: tin! State, to the point at hich they l'orinerly moved in per ! feet harmony. Ile did not intend to serve any plinilltlittr ( . lillllo Or interest. He would sac to the delegation t h at Slavery W 3, gone as an institution. There was no hope Out the people of South Carolina could be ad mitted into the Senate or the 11ouse of Repre sentatives until they had utforded evidence by their conduct of this truth. The policy, now that the .Rebelliuu is suppressed, is not to restore the State Government through military rule, but by the people. While the war has emancipated slaves, it has emanci pated a larger 1111101)er of white men. Ile would talk plain, as the delegation had said that was what they desired. Ile could go to men who had owned dl) or 101) slaves, and who did not care as much for the poor white man as they did for the negro. Those who utt it the land have the e, pital to employ help, and therefore some of our Northern friends are deceived when they, living afar on', think they can exereiso a greater con trol over the freedmen than the Southern men, who have been reared where the insti tution of Shivery has prevailed. Now he did not want the late Slavehold ors to control the negro voters against white men. Let each State judge of the depositary of its own political pettier. He was for eaten- , cipation• lie was for emancipating the white man as well as the black Mr. Holmes asked : is not that altogeth er accomplished ? The President replied that he did not think the question fully settled. The question as to whether the black man shall be ingrafted in the Constitution will be settled as we go along. Ile would not disguise the fact that while he had been persecuted and denounced at the South as a traitor, he loved the great, mass of the Southern people, lie opposed the Rebellion at its breaking out and fought it everywhere, and now wanted the princi ples of the Government carried out and main tained. Mr. Holmes interrupted by saying we want to get back to the same position as you de scribe, as we are without law, no courts are open, and you have the power to wish" t us. The President replied that the Govern ment cannotgo on unless it is based on right. The people of South Carolina must have a convention and amend their constitution by abolishing Slavery, and this must be dune in good faith, and the convention or Logi-Ma ture must adopt the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which prohibits and excludes Slavery everywhere. One of the delegates said. we are most anx ious for civil rule, for W . () have had more than enough of military despotiSin. The President, resuming, said that as the Executive, he could only take the initiatory steps to enable theist' to do the things which it was incumbent upon them to pertbrm. Another of the delegates remarked that it was assumed in solve' parts of this country that, in consequence of the Rebellion, the Southcrn,States had forfeited their rights IS members of the Confederacy, and that if 're stored it could only be on certain conditions, ono of which was that Slavery shall be abol ished. • This could be done only through a convention. The. President replied that the friction of the—Robelliorrhad-rubbed Slavery out, but it would be better so to tleclare-by-laW, ; -As ono of the delegates had jest remarkedthat the Constitution of South Carolina. die'. • not establish Slavery, it were .better to insert a Clause antagonistic to Slavery. Judge Irast said, sulistaatially, the object of our prayer is the appointment of a Gover nor. ' The State of South Carolina will ae opt these Oxiditiono u i ordor that law .aud IMO order may be restored and that-enterprise and industry may be directed to us'eful ends. We desire restoration as soon as possible. It' is the part of wisdom to make the best of.cir-. cumstances. Certain delusion have been dis pelled by the revolution—among them, that Slavery is an element of political strength and moral power. It is very certain that the old notion respecting State rights, in the maintenance of which those who made 'the Rebellion in South Carolina erred, has ceased to exist. Another delusion, viz that, cot ton is king, has likewise vanished in mist. We are to come back with these notions dis pelled and with a new system of labor. The people of ,oath Carolina will cordially , coop erate with the Government in making that labor effective and elevating the.negro as much as they can. It is, however, more 0 work of time than the labor of enthusiasm and fanaticism. The people of the South have the largest interest in the question. We are willing to cooperate for selfish, if for no higher motives. We have taken the liberty, encouraged by our kindness, , to throw out suggestions by which the policy of the Gov ernment will be most surely and effectively subserved. I repeat that the new system of labor is to be inaugurated by robnr, sound and discreet judgment. The negroes nil' ig norant. Their minds are much inflamed with liberty. They are apt tctlllp. nfound lib erty with licerese. Their grentlilea is, I fear, that fre,doni consists of exemption from work. We wilbtake in good faith and car ry oat I .Or intention; with zeal, and hope for the bc..t ; and none will rejoice more than the people of theBolll,ll if emanci palion proves suecessful.

Counterfeits on the newly-issned fifty-cent frictional currency notes have just made their appearance. The execution is poor.

These Mules are represented as being young, sound and ser viceable, and are thoroughly broken, hard ened by exercise, gentle and familiar from being so long surrounded by the soldiers.— As they are no longer required in the Army, they can be purchased at far less than their true value.

They consisted of the Oratorical Prize Contestof the Junior Class, the Baccaluarate Address; the Addresses be fore the General Society and Alumni,"and the Commencement. The Anniversaries of the Literary Societies, which usually form a feature of Commencement week, were held during the winter, and consequently there were fewer displays of oratory during the present week than usual. We noticed quite a large attendance of former graduates of the College, and strangers who evinced much interest in the Exercises. We will notice briefly all the performances up to the time of our going to press. The Oratorical Prize Contest of the Junior Class came off on Monday evening. t4OVell young gentlemen appeared as competitor, far the gold and silver medals which are an nually awarded to the two Juniors who, in the .judgment of the Committee, acquit them solve= most creditably in Oratory.

On Tuesday evening, the Baccalaurate Address was delivered by Prof. Joux K. STAYM AN, of Carlisle. It was unusually in teresting and instructive, and was listened to with pleasure by a largo and appreciative audience. The conclusion of the Address was a finely written Poem, which was re ceived With marked approbation. (ht Wednesday morning the Address be fore the General Society was delivered by Hon. J OUN IV. FORS EY, of Washington. His theme was a comparison of thecharac'.ers of LINCOLN and .lotiNso.N. The Address was an able one, and did credit to the Ora tor's r pntation, lint was necessarily political in its hearings, and on that account at least apparently inappropriate to the occasion. On Wednesday evening the Alumni Ad dress wee delivered by Rev. HENRY B.
