When we see so many of the biggest kind of offenders slip easily out of the same net in which these three poor women have been caught we are inclined to think that, although they might be let off with ‘sharp reprimand for their first offence, they almost deserve a premium for having got mar- ried again. Rewizr yor THe Surrerers.—We are glad to report that, while remembering the family of Secretary Rawlins, our Board of Brokers have initiated a movement for the rellef of the poor widows and orphans thrown helpless upon the world by the late dreadful disaster in the Pennsylvania Avondale coal mine. And here we may properly say that those poor widows and orphans have a claim upon the mining company concerned which ought not to be dis- regarded, or, if disregarded by the company, a claim which should not be allowed to sleep by the friends of the dead miners so fearfully cut off. NOTES ABOUT TOWN. ‘The Germans of the Seventeenth ward propose to do a giant thing and move a Mount. They hope to dismount the Mount of the Fifteenth precinct and mount him upon the bench of the Essex Market Court. In olden times Mahomet went to the mount; wowadays the Mount goes to Mahomet.

Lonpon, Sept. 8, 1869. ‘The Telegraph (newspaper) has an editoriai to-day ou the result of the recent international rowing match between the Oxford and Harvard crews.

In these letters the friends of the Cubans have accounts of tne several engagements which had recently taken place be- tween the Spaniards and Cubans. Tne Cubans for some months have invested the town of Puerto Prinelpe. On tne 12th General Puelo sent out a force num- bering 700 ag a reconnoitering party. They were at- tacked snd defeated with a loss of almost the entire com mand tn casualties, desertions and prisoners. ‘The town of Puerto Principe ts reported deserted by General Puelo’s troops, who, after the recent en- @agement, retrated to Nuevitas. These letters re- port that Valmaseda’s forces, whichjhad movedjout from Las Tunas, had attacked the Cuban troops who were concentrating near that point under General Quesada. The Spanish troops composed the entire strength of General Valmaseda’s force, and commanded, by Valmaseda in person, consisted of 2,500 reguldrs and 1,500 volunteers, With this force General Quesada was attacked, and after an engagement of four hours the Spanish were repulsed with very severe loss. The Cuban loss was over 100, while that of: Valma- eeda was mach larger. Valmaseda retreated to Las Tunas, and, uader cover of the fortifications of that piace, secured pro- ‘wotion for his troops, the Cubans not being supplied with the artillery necessary to attack so formidable fortifications. The Cubans now occupy the entire Cinco Villas district and the territory of the Eastern Department, commanded by General Jordan. The Spanish troops and volunteers occupy the sea coast towns and coast fortifications. A fight is reported near Puerto le Grande, in which the Spanish force, numbering over 700, was defeated. It ts reported that after the first fire the troops de- serted in @ body to the Cubans, leaving their officers, who were captured and paroled by General Jordan. Generals Quesada and Jordan assert their confl- fidence in the result and their ability to secure Cuban independence.

Last Utterances of Secretary Rawline—His Love for the President and Anxious Wish for the Freedom of Cubs. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1860, On Sunday afternoon, having confirmed his faith in the teachings of Ohriatianity by observing two of of its most sacred forms—receiving baptism and partaking in the last sacrament of the Lord’s Sup- per—General Rawlins expressed his relief and peace of mind on religious matters. After a few moments apparently wrapped in wondering thought over the vastness of eternity and the consolations of religion, he opened his eyes, and, noticing Postmaster Gen- eral Oreswell standing by his bedside with an ex- treme sadness pictured upon his countenance, sig- niged @ wish to say something. Mr. Creswell drew close by the side of the helpless form and sald:— “General, have you anytaing you wish to say to mer” Making & feeble effort to raise himself, he replied, “Yea, [have something to say to you. I have not long to live. My days are fast passing away; out may God spare me to see the President. Give my love to the President, Tell him how I wished to see him. I have always tried toserve him faithfully. Tell bm to go Onin the Administration as he has begun. Give my love to the Ministers of the Cabinet. Tell each of them how! love them for thetr integrity, for their virtue, for their earnestness in their duty. ‘Tell them how { honor them all.” Here General Rawlins made some effort to change his position. Mr, ORES WELL said, “General, do you feel easy t”” General Rawiins—I am comfortabie, but some- thing troubles me, Mr. Cums waii—it is the future comfort and pro- tection of your family? General Raw ins—Yos; that grieves me. I am poor in the world’s goods. I have nothing to leave them to guard them against want. Could! survive T could take care of them, but who will take care of them when I am gone? Mr. ORBswELL—Do not grieve yourself about your family. They willbe kindly cared for. They ‘will be cared for by the nation. General John EB. Smith was also standing by the bedside. This oMcer entered the service in 1861 as Colonel of the Forty-fifih Ulinois regiment, tn which General Rawlins was to take the sua- jority, but at the aolicitation of General Grant, aa “offering better advantages,” accepted @ position as aide-de-camp, with the rank of first Meutenant. After Mr. Creswell had given assurance of the care the nation would have for his family, General Smith leaned over the bed and said:—“The Army of the Tennessee, your comrades, General, will take care of the wife and children of their adjutant. Will you allow them to do it?” General Rawlins shook bie head three times—a habit familiar to all personally acquainted witn him. He then closed his eyes, apparently feeling a great weight of anx- tety removed from his mind. Here a few momenta’ pause interruptea the conversation, Mr. Creswell soon broke the allence, saying:—‘‘Genéral, is there anything more you would like to say?" General Rawlins again opened his eyes, which now beamed with unusual brightness, and said, “‘Yos, I have something more to say. There is Cuba, poor, struggling Cuba. I want you to stand by the Cubans, Cuba must be free. Her tyrannical enemy must be crushed. Cuda must not only be free, but all her sister islands, This republic is responsible for this. I am passing away, but you must look after this, We Dave been together; now, you must gee to this,’ The question of Cuba seemed to occupy & large share of the thoughts of Goncral Rawlins in these last moments. He manifested great anxiety om this subject, as uf one of his dosires to Prdtong fils fife was to seo Cuba freed from the baad Yoke of Castilian pride and oppression. The vath onsnes thst General Rawlins made some obser- Bs thougtiow to reconstruction are entirely tn- on a press as another reate.! he wished to live a Mttle longer was to see the queiang ntl! agitating (the country harmoniously settled. taken by Postmaster General Creswell 0 of 2s t utterances of General Rawlins, and of whicn ‘tne above ts the substance, do not mention the subject of reconstruction at all The conversation was confined to three things—bis love for the President and is attachment towards his associate Ministera— all C€@ whom he honored; second, provision for his family, and third, tne dependence of Cuba. The earnestness of General Rawlins may be judged from the fact that he never failed at every Cabinet werae to bring up the question. On one occasion he’ spoke with groat vehemence. After he had finished he apologized to the President for lis man- ner, saying, ‘I have been your adjutant, and | think you will excuse me for being earnest.” The Presi- dent promptly replied, “Certainly, and you are atill my adjutant.” Honers te the Deceased Secretary in This City.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1860, General Canby's proclamation of the result of the election in Virginia on the 6th July is now ready and ‘will be tssued to-morrow, bearing the date of to-day. It is quite voluminous and announces the members of Congress, members of the General Assembly and the State oMicers elect; also the vote on the constitu- tion and the clauses submitted to a separate vote under it, The Legislature will be convened on the fourth Tuesday afterwards, which will be the 5th of October, and that body will immediately organize and ratify the fitteenth amendment. Ag previously announced in these despatches, Governor Wells tendered his ee igaation to General Canby about a week since, bit that officer declined to accept it until afver the election returns were pro. mulgated. I have euthority for stating now, on Governor Walker will be installed before the 20th to the Attorne; opin- General Canby’s construction of it is that the State HF edict elect is not provisional, because the officers and members elect are provided for and elected under the new constitution, which was submitted phe} ng oy to be ratified or eres wing rat it constitution the people ed the Seernion that required the test oath. Thee oy oath cannot be afterwards required. It ‘will not be necessary to elect United States Senators in order to insure the admission of the State, as the only preliminary action required is the ratification of the fifteenth amendment ana the organization of the State government. When the constitution 18 ap- proved by Col the above action makes the State government legal and constitutional and the ratification of the fifteenth amendment effective; ‘but should the constitutton be disapproved by Con- gress the ratification of the amendment will be of no effect. In the organization of the Legislature at its first meeting it will not_be incumbent on that pody to elect permanent officers,twhich has up to the present been a subject of much discussion. Standing commit- tees may, however, be appointed, to remain in session during the recess fst wi iy imtervene until the ad- mission of the State, will be merely delibe- rative bodies, \apavie on ony discussing and exam- ining into State matsers. There are only three or four contested seats in the Legislature, and none of them are well supported. ‘The stockholders of the Richmond and York River Railroad resolved to-day to: extend the road twenty- one miles to tht Cong alg Nes shortening by seven hours the ichmond and Balti- more and Philsdeipaa, MARYLAND.
