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.
