The President the Caest of General Kane— Reral Recretdone—Presidential Fiebing Party—Inte” eating Scenes and Incident Diuner with Colonel Wilcox—Reception of the “fllage Folks of Kaue. KANE, Pa., August 16, 1869, The President, in this wid bat romantic vicinity, 1s certainiy enjoying that recreation of mind and rest of physical energies which he has failed to find eisewhere since his Geparture from the national capital on bis summer tour, In the evegant mansion erected in this forest region by General Kane the Presidential party find all the personal com- fertgs of the city, and in the courtly ad- dress of their host, General Kane, and his excellent Indy, they are surrounded by all the society necessary to make their sojourn here interesting end pleasant, The President here has thiown off his usual reserve, and exhibite a vivacity of manner aud freedom of conversation which would probably surprise some people, His interest M™ this yet undeveloped section of Pennsylvania manifests itself in the manner tu which he familiar- izes himself with the location and extent of the coal and o2 regions and the prospective opening of a peputous, Wealthy and thriving community tn this northwestern tier of counties. The President often felta desire to become acquainted with the vast materia! resources of the great State of Pennaylva- nia, and he takes the occasion Of his visit to General Kane to accomplish this object, General Kane, the prince of hosts, has certainly done credit to his name, and has given to the President att and more than he autictpated in the way of a rural recreation, The arrival of Senator Cameron, at the mvitation of General Kane, a8 the representative of Pennsyiva- mia, gave to the entertainment of the Presidential party an addition to its social character—the dig- unity of arepresentation of the people of this great- State, General Kane, knowing the wish of the President to rest and be undisturbed, made his arrangements, with the assistance of a detachment of his old Buck- tall retain headed by Corporals Barnes and Lan- drigan, that no persons, unless invited or with per- mission, should be allowed on that portion of his large estate immediately surrounding his mausion, The President was therefore alowed full opportuni- ty to rest and take an evening horseback ride through tie ioresis and over the inountaim beiguts of the sur- roundiag spurs of the Alleghantes, General Kane, like @ wise physician, so regulated the movedients of the President that ne should enjoy rometnog new ever’ day. This day has been a par- ticularly agre: le one, and the best authority can give is in the words of the President himself—“1 have never enjoyed myself more since I was a boy tuan I bave this day.” iuis sectlou 13 famous for the quality and the quantity of its trout, The crystal mouutain streams own the mountain sides and through deep § abound im this excelient fish, The President Was delighted at tue opportunity of trying his skill wi angling.

Here the follow- ing gentlemen embarked—for it was entirely a “stag —President Grant, Senator Camerou, General Master Jessie Graut, vr. Freeman, & promi- surgeon in the late war; Captain . Clay, am ex-officer of Pennsylvania volun- teers; Mr. E. Burlingame, a second cousin of the Gisunguisbed Cuiuese Ambassador; F. 8. Nickois, proprietor of the Kane House, and your correspondent, Mr, Cortin preferred the elegance of Kaue Mansion to paddling in the babbiing brook, and remained at home with the ladies, ‘fhe train soon sped on its way down the steep de- ecent of the eastern slope of the mountain, 100 feet to the mile, At nine o’clock the train reached WIl- cox station, Here Colouel Wilcox, a large landed proprietor i this section, Nad veilicles in waiting. A large number of people had assembled at te station, it having been learned but a few minutes beiore that ihe Presi leut Was coming. At tbe depot was also General Allen, of Warren county, an officer ol the late war and republican candidate, or, I Might safely say, the State Senator elect, for this sirongly republican dis'rict. The party with- out delay occupied the conveyances. An open spring wagon, drawo by a span of fine bay wares, led off, containing the President of the United Stases, Generals Kaue and Allen, Colonel Wilcox and Jesse Grant, The ribbons were handled by Dr. Freeman, who sodn giler exchanged with Volonel Wilcox, who was a miore expeditious driver. Tue second, a “yacht’? buggy, drawn by a three minute bay, driven by Mr, Stephen Smith, a promiment citizen of Wilcox, furnished transporiation of Senator Cameron. An open spring Wagon colveyed the rest of the party, except Captain Clay and your correspondent, wio found qn excellent mount in a pair Of spirited nags, and had special charge of the suppiy train, consist- ing of two mules and a light wagon, which brought up the rear. From the depot to the residence of Captain Clay, tne of aes . coup Alter reaching the conveyances left at Mr. Burlin- gene the horses vere. sun parsemea. ‘The bersebecks ‘General Kan a6 courteous as he is gal- lant, promptly resolved accompany his distin- guished guest, tnough his wounds received in the ile marin heart sour sonelendeth surrendered their animals and took to the wagons, ere spirited President, lea — ee we of fi ue. by Goueral Kane, set out on 8 qi OOD developed into @ canter, and, aa if remembering their days of battle, were soon epurring rosd atadead run, They were soon out of sight, while the wheeled vehiclea were content to take their own time. About half way on the road we overteok the Presi. dent and General Rave at a house on the roadside, ‘Yhe President had learned that here lived an humbie farmer who bad been a brave soldier, Hiesiain, Here the President pad dismounted, and Was seated I the house as we drove up. As they came out the wagons and horses standing in the road, Hieslam following in the ear, the scene was too much Jor the simple-nearted farmer and sojdier, and he shouted, * copperheads arouad here laugh at me aud threaten me and hiss at me. I am sutisied now. The President 18 not too proud to come into. poor man’s home, Let them hiss at me beat a can stand all their hisses, and will laugh at them.’ The President and General Kane again mounted, and iu a short time reached the edge of the town. Alt the Wiicoxians had been astonished in shea! during the day they had been busy. ‘The town was decorated with fags and & small can- nou began firing a salute. ‘The President and party proceeded directly to the extensive tannery establishment of Messrs. tt ae | and visited every part of this © concern. learn that this tannery, when compteted, will be the largest in the World. "At present tere are 600 vats ta operation, and 15,000 tons of hemlock bark are consumed annually. It is on account of the hemlock tac the tanuery has been built there. It was also intended to visit Mr, Smuth’s extensive sawmul, turoiog out 60,000 feet of lumber in twelve hours, but owing to the growing lateness of the hour this was abandoned, The party now went to the fine residence of Colonel Wilcox, and here partook of a handsome dinner, Among the number, besides the party, were Alorrow B. Lowery, of the Pennsylvania State Senafe, and General Walker, of Erie, Collector of the Nineteenth district of Pennsylvania, ‘The dinner was materially abridged by the fact that the train would have to leave by schedule at a quarter past eight o’clock in the evening. At that hour the President aud party, accompanied by the three gen- btn named, returned to the residence of General ane. Here another demonstration wae athand. Huge bontires burned in the forest in front of General Kaue’s home. The village people had assembied with drum and fife and asmail cannon, The *fish- ing party’? walked up to the nouse, and were re- ceived, congratulated and rigidly interrogated by Mr, Corbin, Well supported by Ars. Grant, Cor- bin and Mrs. Kane. ‘The village people soon mustered and marched by the front ot the house. There were men, women and children and iuiants in arms, The scene was novel and agreeabie. The boutires light! up the forest of gigantic hemlock, the sound of martial music, the firing of a smail canuon, the President, Senator Cameron and the other gentlemen standing m tue ceatre of the piazza, the ladies in the back- ground and the village people approaching was a acene seldom if ever witnessed. On the green the President shook hands with the people, alter which their enthusiasm succeeded in “drawing him out’ in afew worda, The President said:— “I have been with you several days tn these wild woods. Ihave enjoyed a pleasant visit here, and thank you for your Kinduess,”” Senator Cameron, General Allen and General Kane ced cto words also, The crowd then returned to the Village. ‘The questions would now naturally be asked who is this General Kane? and where is Kane? Any one conversant with the batties of the Army of the Potoniac wali remember the brave Bucktai! of Pennaytvania, Thetr commander was Colonel (afterwards Major General) Thomas L. Kane. Gen- eral Kane is descended Irom some of the best stock in the country, He 1s in the forties in age, aud very smail in stature, but with a good face and eyes of life, which show the character of the man. The father of General Kane was some years ago Ju of the United States District Court in Pennsylvania, and celebrated for a decision adverse to antt-slave: rinciples. He is also the brotner of Elisha Kent Kane, the celebrated Arctic explorer. In his youth General Kane was attaché of Legation in Paris, Subsequently he was seut by the government to conduct the Mormons from Nauvoo westward. Afterwards he made the peace between the United States forces under Sydney Johnston and the Mor- mons at Bridger Pasa. Still later, while Judge Kane was busily engaged in the fruidess undertaking of suppressing anti-slavery movements, his son was a prominent operator in the underground railway, General Kane entered the war of the rebellion at the aead, as I have said, of the Pennsylvania Bucktalls, Ai Gettysburg he coramanded @ brigade. In the re- peated engagements in which he participated Gen- eral Kane was sevcrai times severely wounded, those Most inconvenient being one bali through the mouth and anotuer disabling his right leg, from the effects of which he ts Jame to this day. General Kaue lives here 1 princely style. Hts thousands of acres of primeval forest and underlying aud undeveloped coal veins lie all around him. He is monarch of all he surveys, He 1s the soul of refinement, and wields &@ powerful infinence over the people of the neighbor- hood. It would almost seem that they were the re- tatuers ofa baronof “ye anctente daye” then the fellow citizens of a distinguished and enterprising landowner. The house in which the General resides BS distance of eight miles over mountain roads, was accomplished in an bour. At Captain Clay’s the party alighted, were introduced to Mrs. Clay and the jadies of ber family and partook of some cake and wine. A mile further, at the farm of Mr. Burlingame, the wagons were jeit and the horses unharnessed and saddled. Some mounted and others on foot, the party set out accoss the country. It was necessary on the way wo cross afarm, Spying from her kitchen window a party of horsemen and footmen, a lady, of square proportions and Teutonic by nationality, and physi- caliy constructed on a very large scale, issued from the house, and, with unexpected courtesy, — letting down the bars. ajter the President ente! ea the premises, he was duly introduced to Mrs, Viet- hot—for such was her euphonious name. The old lady for a moment was bewlidered, and looked comi- caily meredulous, But she soon recovered her eqaanimity, Sbe charged upon the President with a@ degree of appalling physical exertion, and setzéd the President, still seated on bis horse, by tiie hand, exclaiming in broken gecents, “God bless the Presi- dent! God bless you, President Grant!” Her euthu- slasin knew no bounds, She darted backwards and forwards, and was completely carried away by sur- prise and delight. The Presideut ieft the old lady to her astonishment, and, followed by the rest of the party, after crossing a@n open meadow, entered the forest, Here was nature in all her primeval magnificence. Towering heimiock and maple shut out the light of the sun; beuutifui ferns and mosses, in every variety of lea: nd fibre, covered the ground beneath. A rugged bridle path, over decaying logs and projecting rocka, Wound down the mouniain side, debouchiug in a + marrow valley. Here the sparkiing waters of the Clarion meandered bet weeu lofty mountains towards the Alleghany, thence tuto the distant dood of the Onio, Here the rippling current of Straight creek, from its mountain soures, contributed its share of tue crystal element to the Clarion. Here the party diviged. Senator Cameron, Gene- Fal Allen and Dr. Freeman determimed to try their Juck in the Clarion, The rest of the party, with the President, pursued the course of Straight creek up stream about a mile, The President was here fur- nished with oem of guns, boots and leggings, and @ dishing rc 'y Captain Ciay. The President in his Osherman’s “outav’ resembled very much a diver Without his helraet and body dress, or, perhaps, the Ashermen who fish with the seine. With bis rod in his right hand and exchanging glances between the Waler and the overhanging oranches of the trees he waded into the water. Meenwnile Jesse Grant had is rod in regular order, Was perched on @ log, and in a sow minates hauled out a One trout, the first caught. The juvenile fisherman had puiled out four when the Preaiaent, who complained that he “iad plenty of bites but go fisu,”” brought out a fue spect- nen. The President was nwW evidently Interested in the sport, and presented @ picture which it would have honored a nation to have seen. He stood in the middie of the stream, Kee deep in the water, holding his rod in his righ’ hand and supporting himseii stooping with ing left on his knee. He was busily engaged in manceuyriyg the fly near & log Which iay across the stream, He had his eyes tn- tently fixed upon the fy, and seemed about as deter. Mined “to catch that trout’ as he was on the fleld of batile to beat lus enemy. Senator Cameron, who bad made an agreement with General Alien that ho would string all the tish the General would catch, Hot being much occupied in Ais pj Watoriai lavors on the Clarion, joined, in company 3.¥ith the General, the rest of the party on the xtraigh ¢ creek, Notwithstanding a considerabie a) DOUNt of conver- Bation and congratuiation cyer e, \ch fish canght, the old proverb familiar to ail fishern. €M in regard to the frequent “luck” attending such r *ereations, the @ay’s aport was highly compeasaung. 49 four hours twelve dozen were nicely stowed away . ‘0 the fishing baskets, Of this number the President c. Wgeht nearly two dozen, Master Jesse Grant a baker's , zen. ‘The allowance of time being consumed, the party put up their roda, and after indulging na Junch set out on the return. Upon arriving at the house—a one story fr wae—of Mrs. Viethoff, it was found that that good))* dame hao bestirred herself. She had been taken | W sur- prise, but she Was not to be outdone. Over th * gate she had sprung a@narch and decorated it With emiock boughs, and in the,centre was suspend #d a beautiful wreath of flowers. From this to the ou ter gate ene had ranged boughs of trees, forming a pa + aa, Way of green leading to the road. ‘To gay this, as w mere matter of manual labor, was no small’ Your hours’ work, and, united with the devoted spirit which actuated 1t, was an example worthy of finitation and reflection by every man, woman and child in the nation.” An humble woman thus out of the fulness of her hears doing homage to the head Of the nation, one until late years practically out of the limits of civilization exhibiting @ soul burning pant [ST fe her chief magistrate and her og: is the won be; to be the mother of a Pao aa a acd He President was deeply impressed, All the giddy tashion and taxury woicn Frealtn alone can bestow, I doubt not, never struck ap sensitive a chord Of his heart as the simple and honest tribute of re spect paid him by Mra.

A Washington correspondent of the Syracuse Journal, under date of the 14th inst., relates the following :— General Rawlina especially ts delighted at the situation. His sagen bave been aroused almost to intensity by the Cuban struggle; yet here hie had to hold still, and even do more than that— actively impede thelr movements.

NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1869. CUBA. The Rumored Cause of Brigadier Leaca’s Re- Farn—Reported Capture of a Spanish Con- vey by Quesada and of a Rebel Guard by PalacioeA Large Insurgent Force im the Great Sagar District=No Troops in Havana to Bend to the FieldMore Scquentrations— A Proclamation ef Cespedes Noticed by the Selene HAVANA, August 14, 1869, Is 1s stated in reltable quarters that Brigadier Lesca did not come to Havana on account of his health, but that, despite the popularity which the Cuban affair and his constant bulletins gave him, has beer recalled by the Captain General, because of the repeated complaints mage against nim from his own troops, because it is stated he was apsurdly reckless about the lives of hia men, no matter how trivial the occasion, and from the Cubans, because he persecuted them, It ts said, in a most cruel manner, without allowing his prisoners the benefit of any trial, and stripping them of everything they possessed, by the most arbitrary means imaginable. The command on tus account will probably be turned over to Colonel Goyeneche, who is not only a gallant soldier, but represented to be a man of Judgment and of kindly feeling. It tg rumored that the newly appointea Governor of Nuevitas is also to be removed ere long for simt- lar causes, because the Captain General continues determined to have justice meted out to all alike, and promptly listens to all that have any justiflable cause for complaint to make, The recent appearance of a large rebel force near Macaqua, Navajas, &c., thus extending the insur- rection to the territory where the sugar plantations are most numerous and valuable, has created con- siderable alarm here, and this was increased by the report that a party of Insurgents had again ap- peared in Sagua Grande and attacked the Chapel- gorris volunteers, whose commander 1s reported to have been made prisoner. On this account part of the battalion of Napoles and some militia left Ma- tanzag the other day. As it is apprehended that those insurgents have communication with some that are in Havana every precaution has been taken 80 as to be prepared at any moment, and therefore orders have been passed to keep the guard houses open at night and to be ready at a moment's signal. The demands from the interior for more reinforce- ments 4o nos cease, which puts the government to great straits, as no troops have come from Spain for some time, and none can be expected for the pre- sent, It has been impossible to complete the bat- talion of mobilized volunteers that have lately been enlisting, because some of the former body have re- turned from the interior, and in the pubiic streets speak very unfavorably about the treatment they received. They are said to go so far as to declare that since they left Havana they have never re- ceived a cent of their pay, and that while in eam paign they were almost starved. The fact of several wounded and mutilated men hovering about the streets adds to the distrust of the glowing accounts the newspapery give of the campaign, ‘The Captain General has again sent for the volun- teer commanders for them to induce some of their men to go to the field, as the colored militia had done, leaving their families behind, the more so as they (the volunteers) were more strictly in duty bound to defend the honor of Spain. It was decided to cast lots among all the battalions. in order to form one for the field; but then another dimcuity arose, which was that the men would only piace themselves under the orders of thelr own command- ers and not under those of any army officers. How- ever, it 1s said that of the Fifth battalion 300 men are willing to leave, and they will be sent merely to garrison the town of Nuevitas. Don amon Her- rera, the colonel of the Fifth, is going with his family to Spain, giving out that he will get the gov- ernment to send out more troops; but his men want to prevent his leaving, because if he only went on that errand he would not take his family with him, A proclamation of Ceapedes has been read here, wherein he offers quarter to those voluntcers that were formed before the independence cry, which are the First, Second, Third and Fourth battalions. but to the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and the artilery volun- teers, formed since, he will give no quarter should PY. of them fall into the power of the insurgents. ‘his incident has not escaped the notice of the volun- teer battalions. The Chiclana battalion of regulars went to Sagua because they would not serve under the ordera of General Puello, It is stated that in consequence of some encounters they had with the rebels, and, what with disease and desertion, thetr ranks had become 370 men minus, aud having been induced to return they embarked back to Neuvitas, and finally appeared again in Principe. One of the great difticulties the Spanish army las to contend with is the want of Spanish guides, They have to avail themselves of Creoles, are invartably misled by these and ied into dangerous ambuscades. ‘The meetings of the Havana Katiroad Company have not yet ended, and the discussions are naturally drawing to government favor. As the government has sequestered the shares of aldama, Delmonte and others that were tbe principal and largest shareholders, it naturally commands the majority of votes. An attempt was made to appoint Gonzalo Castafion as manager of the above road, but lt was nonsuited, because there are resolutions on the Bac aera peeing os oe ge ores hav- n held previously expressly pro! ng cer- tain innovations to be made. This Yas incited the chairman (for the government) to a volley of abusive language to many of those present, stating a ie w few of them were as criminal as Cespedes mself The properties of the following Cubans have been sequestred:—Don Joaquin Garcia sneee of Ha- ‘vans, absent abroad (although a bona yide American ¢.tigeu), Seiiors Francisco Serrano, Jesus Maria de Leiva y Borges, Cleto de la Torre, Toriblo de la ‘Torre, Francisco de la Torre y Batista, Amador de los Reyes, Miguel Geronimo Cardet, fael Marla de Leiva Loreto Vasallo, Manuel Guerra Almaguer, Je- sus Rodriguez de Aguilero, José Lisabet Justo Agul- lera, Jesus Carbalio, Migue! Aguilera Juan Carrerero, José Antonio Manito, Eltgio Sarmiento and Fidei Alvarez, all citizens of Holguin. Colonel Ramon Fajardo has been appointed to the Commandancia General and Governorship of Matan- zag, in place of Colone! Domingo Leon. ‘The following does honor to tie Captain General :— Hie Excellency called together the Syniics of the Ctty Council and presented to their view a whip be- smeared with blood which a young colored girl slave) had brought him, comptaining of the ill treat- ment she had received at the hands of her mistress, without any redress or investigation on their part. His Excellency remarked to them that on any re: rence of the kind, no matter if it were a lady of the highest standing, such conduct should be punished, and that he wouid hold said Syndica responsivle in the event of their concealing tt. A recent telegram recelvedjfrom New York, prepar- ing us for an early visit from Don Juan Manuel Ma- cias, the President of the Junta,Cubana, has created a miugied sensation of surprise and curiosity, leading every one to form conjectures suitable to bis own Pope aud the incident has reached such bounds a3 to lead some good folks to believe that he is com- ing to make a coe of free trade with Cespedea, Which is fo inciude the unobstructed and wholesale importation of fine beef cattle, The only reason that can be found for such an event is that ever since this Cuban rebeliion occurred, now nearly a year ago, No native cattle have come from the interior, nor are they likely to come for another year hence.’ The result is that a pretty active tinport trade is being carried on from avroad, which would be immensely increased were it not for tue exorbitant import duty Still in force thereon. ‘There Is an account in town received from Manza- Dillo stating the two bras} cannons and other War material seized by Colonel Palacios, near Paima Soriano, were in the custody of an ordinary guard and therefore not in that of General Joraan, a8 19 given out oy the informant of Kl Diario de’ la Ma- rina, Dor in the custody of any number of insurgents that could have resisted tne large forces sent by Jeneral Vaimaseda to combine that wonderful cap. tare, It ts not tmprobable that by some treacherous act or other Palacios got the information which en- abied hira to make the capture by a ruse.

The General tmme- diatety ordered Colonel Andrian), with the greater part of his column, and Colonel Gonzales Boet, with his contra-guerilla, to proceed to Vuelta Grande and Baire Abajo, and to take position in Venta de Casa- nova, on the margin of the Contramaestre, there to be ready to co-operate with the other forces and prevent the convoy from concealment or refuge. ‘he Valmaseda division once more distinguished itself, The capture of the convoy took piace partly near Palma Soriano and finally In Remanganagua. The ox carts, forges and other irksome eifects were destroyed, but the cannon and other trophies were sent to Havana via Manzanillo, Among the mate- rials preserved are two brass cannon of twelve cnl., cast in 1863 and in perfect condition for service, having been used; three spherical balls of twelve om., twenty-seven packages of grapeshot, forty-two cylinder granades of elght cm,, twenty-two packages of grapeshot for canndn of eight cm., 600 triction quickmatches and many otner warlike wares.
