With cll these inducements, however, the new recruits for Cuba had to be driven on lourd ship in Cadiz at the point of the Dayonet, Havana letters give a pitialle account of the appearance of these so-called woldiers. They were so destitute of clothing that uniforms had to bo sent on board the ebipe for them before they were landed. ‘They are raw hands from the country dis- tricts, mestly from the norihein provinces of Bpain, utterly unacclimated and unused to arms. ‘The prospect before them is not cheering.

A correspondent from Washington an. nounces in another column the resignation from the anny of Brevet Major-Gen, J. IL Wusox, The part which this high-spirited and alle young officer played during the re- lellion was wo importaut to allow his pas- sace from im 'litary to civil life to pass with- out notice, In the beginning of the war he was a Licntenant of Engineers, and served at Charleston under Gen. Seymour and Gen, Giixone, and was afierward temporarily attached to the staff of Gen. McCLELLAN, and took part in the battle of Antictam. Next he was transforred to the staff of Gen. Grant, with whom he served frou the be- ginning of 1863 until after the tattle of Missionary Ridge. With the exception of Gen. Rawirys, there is no man to whose clear mind, disinterested and unselfish spirit, ond upfaltering courage Gen, GRANT is 6 much indebted a8 to WiLson. We shall not attempt to detail his services while ho held the post of Inspector-General of Guant’s army. One of tho most con spicuous features, however, of his unpretend- ing yet useful career in that capacity, is the authorship of the remarkable plan of cam- paign which rosulted in the capture of Vicks- burg and the opening of the Miss'ssippi river, This plan was conceived in W11son’s mind, aud was cordially adopted by Raw mins ond by Grant, notwithstanding the powerful oy potition of Gen, Suenan, who did not approve of it, and was exceuted by Grant with his wonted steadiucs, and with signal success, After tho Lattlo of Missionary Ridge, Wu SON was made a Brivudier General of volun teers ; and when Grant became Cominander in Chief, and joined the Army of the Poto. mac, he assigned Witson to the comm y sion of cavalry in that army, When Surnipan wae sent to conduct (he campa against Eancy in the Valley of Virgina, he tock with Lim Watson and bis cavalry divi- sion ; and when alter the capture of Atlanta Gen, SHEUWMAN organized his forces prepara. tory tothe march to the sea, be arked that 1.408 should be sent to him to take charge of the cavalry of the Military Division of the Mistiss'ppi.

A. P. Hover, It appears that a friend of his, one Fernann, had got into some financial trouble in Lima, and intended giving leg bail, His creditors sued out an order for his arrest. When Gen, Hovey heard of this, he at once, by way of facilitating Frrraxn’s departure, ap- pointed him Cabinet messenger, and at (ne same time addressed a note to the Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs, requesting that, in view of such appointment, the order of arrest be rescinded ‘This reqnest was naturally refused. Geo. over then procured from some sub-seoretary a letter in whieh the writer advised him to repair on beard the steamer with Faneaxp, and suggested thot either through fear of, or through respect to bis person, lhe might obtain from the Commis- sioner on board what the Minister had refused him. The Commissioner was however firm, and refused to allow Fenmaxn to leave the port. Gen, Hover very foolishly got indignant at the officer for complying with his duty, and even threatened to leave the country, on the ground that ho had been insulted. Fortunately, however, the scandal was avoided by the arrival of Funnaxo’s eredi- tor, who, although @ foreigner, waived his poeu- niary claims in the interest of peace, and allowed Lis debtor to depart on bis mission, If anybody else but Mr. Fisn or Mr. Baxcaorr Davis ruled over the State Departinent, it wight bo@M@Fth while to have the statement of La So ciedad reepecting a great indignity to a friendly nailon thoroughly investigated, Retest Tho Hon, Winttam M.

A., President of the English Reform League, and the leader in the great pop- ular demonstration in favor of reform and against the Government, in London, in July, 1866, when the railings of Hyde lark were turn down by the excited populace. The movement of which that meeting was a part resulted in the passage of the Reform Bill of 1866. Mr. pstons’s Government has now practically re- cognized Mr. Beanvs's abilities by bestowing upon him an important office. The Lord Chan- celior has recently appoisted him Judge of the Catubridge County Court, a responsible and bon- orable place, for which he is well quslited. — The new Capitol at Albany promises to be a marvel of ugliness. Occupying a site 170 feet tbove the Hudson river, with abundant space for an architect to develop an intelligent design, it might easily be made a sulendid landmaik over leagues of country, like the dome of the Capitol at Washington, which rises ro grandly above its incan surroundings, But the opportunity seems to have been thrown away.

The events of the last few months hive mado this formerly quiet place the most interesting centre in Europe tt the present time, in view of its advantages us & neutral point, a political place of universal refuge, nud a location from which the territonies of the two great contending powers are most readily eceessible. Delgivm in thts respect has tuddenty become what my own country (Hol- land) was during the loug reign of Louis XIV. and his two successors. Here are to be met the agents and representatives, secret or avowed, of all the powers and parties and opivions that direct or influence (ho present action and will do- termine the very uncertain future of Europe, sometimes jostling each other in novel and most unexpected companionship, In Holland this war has induced ehanves of opinion, which appeared to require years to bring about in our slow and highly conservative country; so that I, who have always been con- sidered for this region an advanced and progres- sive republican, am astonished to find monarch- ists and aristocrats aud the most plodding of po- litical old fogies in sume things moving ahead of me. Tho fact ir, that though an unambitious and perhaps @ selfish fpeople, we are patriotic, and we have always enjoyed, except under the brief rule of France, a fair share of liberty since we conquered our independence from Spain; and with this moderate share the weakness of the nation inclined it to be satisfied, Recent devel- opments have, however, made patent to every one what was before only known and suspected by a few, that we were complacently slurabering on the brink of a volcano while our very exist ence aga nation was menaced, as it is now, and os thet of ali weak nations—of Relgium, of Switzerland, of Denmark, and eventualiy of Sweden—was and is. No doubt exists now but what we were all bargcined for; and if Bismarck avd Louis Napoleon bud agreed on the division of the spoil, instead of endeavoring to outwit and quorreliing with each other, who eeu doubt but what we should sucecssively have been swallowed up? Now thet we Luve witnessed the fleets of * power of united Ger. uany, wielded by the terrible and unscrupulous enerzy of Bisuarck, who cau suppose that suc- cessful resistance would have been possible against the combined power of Prussia and impe- rial France? Could we have expected aid from Great Britain, so truculent to the weak and so subservient to the strony, and which #0 basely abandoned Denmark to her fate? If the think- ng few indeed had very little faith before in any qualne of ccnscience restraining the spoliators or betraycrs of Poland, the whole pabiic believes and kuows now, aud takes it os uthenticated beyoud doubt, that the crowned couspirators were barguining away our existence with as little scruple as highway robbars exhibit over the plunder of @ vietin, Heuce, you need not be surprised that gentle. men who have always been loud in their loyalty tothe House of Grange, or who by right of hereditary fidelity fill the obicf ofices of our petty court and government, find themselves ruddenly on the same platform with individuals like myself, belonging to a party which has al- ways opposed the House of Orange siuce before the time of those modern Gracehi, the De Witts. Whether monarchists, aristocrats, courtiers, or conservatives, above all they are Mollanders, They see something must be done for th: future, what ther hardly know, but canv, and reject and resume plans which the wiki est imegination could not have conceived three months ago of ther entertaining for © moment.

We, how- ever, who Lave been long under this inspiration, who have followed with earnest interest the dis- cussions of your press and the action of your Gov- ernment, and who have sedulousty endeavored to cultivate your official representatives and your ropresentative men, have suffered great disap pointment with regard to the individuals, though our faith is wbiding im the immortal principles which the United States represent.
