The steamship Cuba at New York breaks the dull monotony that has characterized the European intelligence for some time past.— There are unquestionable indications of trouble in Prussia. The occupier of the Prus sian throne has been almost at political dag gers ends with the popular branch of his Parliament for some considerable time. It is not a dispute involving tlie royal preroga tive, but the grant of money, which is refused • by the representatives of the people, despite of which the former affixed his signature to the budget, without, of course, the concur rence of said representatives. This violation of the Prussian ConstitudOi has led to the attempt to form popular re-unions, which, under orders from the government, have been prevented by the Police of every city in the Prussian dominions. The leaders have been, in consequence, invited to hold their banquet iu Bremen,. which is neutral territory. It is doubtful wither any thing will arise from the dem onstration. The Prussians are not yet ripe for revolution. Similar movements in Paris led to the French revolution by which Louis Philippe was compelled to abdicate, but Prussians are not Frenchmen. Tlie refusal of Austria to acknowledge the nationality of Italy is a significant circum stance, especially if taken in connection with the prompt recognition of Italian in dependence by Spain. The two farts in connection' give indications of hostile intent by Austria towards Italy, as the purpose of Spain, the ally of France, plainly prefigures the design of the latttcr to come to tlie res cue of Italy if assailed by Austria. There are c&nplicafious arising which nothing but war can terminate, in the rela tions between the Pope, Austria and France, while Austria, Prussia and the German Con-, federation appear to understand each other as relates to the Danish complication. We should not be surprised were France, Spain and Italy to form a combination in the inter ests of Italian unity against the German Powers, unless a General Congress is soon held to adjust -these contrarieut interests. Perhaps this explains the inquietude of Louis Napoleon with regard to the assembling of a General Congress. MATERIALS OF HISTORY, Tlie copiousness of records has contributed nothing to the truth oi history. On tlie con trary, its reliability would appear to be in the inverse ratio of the fertility of its re sources. 3lemoirs, Diaries, Journals, Cor respondence—the contents of innumerable private repositories and pub lie collectious have placed at the command of the historian a boundlless mass of materials. Family records ha re given up their secrets. • Tlie mysteries of diplomacy which had been locked up for centuries have been disclosed to the prying curiosity of the annalist; yet is there v>ncl'actin the whole range of his torical narrative for which absolute verity can be claimed ? Is there one piece of evi dence that would command judicial belief? A cloud of witnesses appears rather to con fuse the truth than to elucidate it. We are impelled to this course of remark by notic ing the conflicting statements of ear and eye witnesses of transactions of the most recent occurrence in our military history. The re mark has frequently been made tbut no two witnesses, having equal powers and oppor tunities of observation, would give the same narration of a battle. How repeatedly this observation has been verified since the com mencement of our sectional conflict, we need not remark. The most simple occurrences have received a false colouring from the bias of persons who do not appear to be conscious of the existence of prejudice or prepossession. Yet these are, in great part, the materials of Instory. The contents of the newspaper pass I into the historic page as among the most ve- ' racious details of important transactions, becaurc witnessed and narrated by those who are supposed to possess special opportunities j for correct observation. Among those who most deserve censure in this falsification of history is the host of correspondents for the daily and weekly journals, Which ought to lie visited both on employers and employed, the former of wlrqm, to supply materia's for a morbid cu riosity in their readers and to minister to that sensational desire for news, which has become a disease dl the public mind—pub lish whatever can supply this stimulus. Not only is the truth distorted by the represen tations of these hired contributors to the sensational sheet, but they frequently in dulge in personal insinuation and imuenda hurtle I to individual delicacy, besides dis closing transactions which have been no doubt "onmmnicated i n confidence. 11 these epistolary effusions are what are called, ia neWD I ,,a .P er parlance, s j , ' r y —tf they are pervaded by personalities in relation to conspicuous men and dven fe males —the more welcome they appear to be. AU notions of delicacy are disregarded in Huaisleimg to this depraved appetite." These correspondents are scattered all over the Union and form a large portion of the literary corps of the press. We would not be thought to include in tbis'censure the entire l>ody of correspon dents of the daily and weekly press, many of whom are educated persons conscious of the responsibilities iuvoived in the relation they have assumed towards the public.— But a large body of them cannot be deemed better than paid slanderers who are corrupt ing the sources of intelligence, and injuring public morals by the violation of those lessser mondities which owe their existence to the purity of the press. We consider a serious stab as having been given to journalism in tlie United States by the correspondence w hich has sprung lip during the war. Tim Eiiscofal Church North and South. A Washington letter says in reference to the refractory bishops South that "the President has no idea of ‘running the churches' in Dixie, and they can therefore go ahead and pray for whom they please. The feeling to wards the Northern churches remains pretty much as it did before the war, and though conventions arc to be held for the purpose of considering ‘the state of the church,’ it is not believed that there will be any change from the relations at present existing. In some sections churches taken by military consent, and occupied by Northern ministers, will have to be given up, but in that event, I hear, it is proposed to build others, provided the needful can be raised for the purpose. If the movement is successful, the North and the South will both have their houses of worship in the Sunny South, and that, too, without any recognized union or fellowship existing between them.” Counterfeit One Dollar Treasury Notes The Boston Herald says a dangerous counter feit of the one dollar Treasury notes issued by the general government has made its ap pearance. Excepting a few minor discre pancies the spurious note is an exact foe siuii/c of the bill. The general appearance of the bill is also very good. The green ink is of a somewhat lighten shade than that used on the genuine, and some parts of the note looked . scratched and blurred. The figures “1” on the scroll-work on the lower right corner ot the note are printed in green ; in the genuine they are white. The face of Chase in the counterfeit is badly executed, but otherwise the work is well done, and the note well calculated to deceive. Earthquake in Canada. —A smart shock Os earthquake occurred at Ottawa, C. W.,on the morning of tlie fid inst. The noise pro duced is described as of “a loud rumbling nature, resembling somewhat the souud of a heavy lumber wagon over a rouglr stone road. The sound continued perhaps a min ute and a quarter, increasing gradually in distinctness, and then murmuringly dying away. The shock was sufficiently strong to throw a lad, who was attending a sick pa rent, from his seat. Every house in the vi cinity shook to its vcTy foundation. Tlie shock was also distinctly felt at several other places. • Chain Factory.— The Machias Union says that Boston capitalists contemplate estab lishing a factory for tlie manufacture of ves sels' chains, wire and wire rigging, in 4»ne of the eastefi towns ol Maine ; and oflers are being made to have a part of the stock taken there and secure the location of the factory at Machias. It is stated that there is at present no establishment in this country where wire rigging is manufactured. We derive our supply chiefly from England. The city of Springfield, 111., is so overrun witli blacklegs, burglars, garroters aud har lots, male and female, who have congregated to rob the soldiers, as they are paid off' and mustered • out, of their hard-earned wages, that the Mayor, unable to stay the flood of crime, has requested Gen. Cook, with the military force under his command, to under take the government of the city, and to deal with tlie villians in a summary manner. That city is therefore now under martial law. Another Mexicas Loan#— The Liverpool Courier of July 2(>th says : The loan for Mexico which is already in progress is not likely to satisfy the wants Os the Emperor Maximilian. A second is now spoken ot; aud the first duty ofM. Langlais ou his arrival in Mexico will be to inquire into the matter and to report to the Empe ror the result of his investigations. Pardoned. —A Washington dispatch of the loth inst. says: The President to-day par doned Bishop Lynch, of South Carolina, now in Rome, Italy, and W. B. Weed, sentenced to tlie penitentiary for two years tor larceny. Mrs. Cora A. Slocum, Miss Ida Slocum and Mrs. Caroline A. S. Urquhart, of New Or leans, were also pardoned. The confiscated estates til' Mrs. Slocum were restored to her, on the recommendation ol Gen. Butler. —At the late Congregational Convention in Boston it was voted to raise $730,000 for the “evangelization of the West and South.' 1 Os this sum $300,000 is for the Home .Mis sionary Society; S33O,(KK) lor the American Missionary Association, and $300,000 for church building. Among the hundred crimes daily reported in New York, we read of a clergyman being knocked down within a few steps of a police station by a gang of thieves who robbed him of his purse, watch, shirt studs and boots. Missionaries are sadly needed in Gotham. I So says the Boston Herald.

HU {iurinl anil Exhumation —Aw Herelations — Mir{iu‘jht Work oj Union Hen—Seeming the AW,/. , [From tlie Richmond Republic, Aug. 5.] The month of March, 18G4, is memorable iu Richmond for one of the grandest Union raids that up to that time had menaced the Confederate capitol—a raid which was tlie immediate precursor ot Gen. Grant's famous campaign trom the Wilderness to James Kiver. The history of this raid is too famil iar to the minds of all of our readers to make necessary any recapitulation of it, even if it comported with our space. It is known that Col. Dahlgren, after the attack on Richmond on Tuesday, tlie Ist of March, did not suc ceed iu forming a junction w ith Gen. Kilpat rick, and wli'ic pushing through King and Queen county, tow ard Gloucester Point, was killed on the night of Wednesday, March 2, near Walkerton. It is also known that his' body was brought to Richmond, but. wbat disposition was made of it by the Confeder ate autborities was kept a mystery at the time, ami tlie facts, even to this day have never been published. We purpose to give them to the public for the first time, vouch ing for their entire autlicnUcity. When intelligence was received in Rich mond of the death of Col. Dahlgren, mes sengers were dispatched to bring it to the city tor identification. It reached the city on Monday, March 7, by the York River Rail road, and laid during that day at the depot, where it was examined by large numbers of persons. His death haci been caused by a gunshot wound in the head. The little fin ger of one hand had been cut off on the field where he fell by someone anxious to se cure, with the least trouble, a valuabte dia mond ring. That night the body was carried to Gen. Elzey's office, in Belvin's blpck, and the next day, having been placed in a com mon pine coffin, of the kind then used for the burial of soldiers, which in turn was placed in a box, and was transferred to Oak wood Cemetery, a mile east of the city. The hearse used on this occasion was a four mule street wagon, and the attendants con sisted of a Confederate officer of inferior rank and two soldiers. Arriving at Oak wood, which was the burial place of all soldiers who died at Chimborazo, Howard’s Grove, and other hospitals iu the eastern portion of the city and suburbs, the negro grave-diggers and other attendants about cemetery were driven off and ordered to absent themselves until notified that they might return. One of the negroes, now liv ing in the city, having his curiosity excited, secreted himself in the woods near by, de termined to see what was to be done. The two soldiers dug a grave, placed the box in it and covered it up. They then shouted to recall the attendauts of the cemetery, and getting into the wagon, returned to the city. The only circumstance in the proceedings that struck the negro us unusual,* was the mystery observed and tlie circumstances of the box, no corpse ever having been brought there before except in a pine coffin; but there having been a great deal of talk as to wbat was to be done with the body of Col. Dahlgren, he at once decided timt this could be no other than the corpse of that officer, lie, however, kept his opinion to himself at the time. The question, w’hat had become of the body of Dahlgren? was the subject of in quiry and conversation for many days in Richmond, to be revived irom time to time up to tlie day of the evacuation. And there were many stories on the subject—that it had been burnt, sunk in the river, &c. A city paper of that day announced, with a solemn and knowing air, that it would never be found until the trump of doom should sound. A number of Union men of the city, believ ing it possible that it might be recovered, were anxious to secure and preserve it for the family of the deceased. Prominent among them was Mr. F. W. E. Lohman, a grocer doing business near the New Market. Sir. Lohman at once began bis inquiries and investigations—which, in the then state ot popular feeling, it was necessary to conduct with great caution—determined, at whatever cost and risk, to ascertain its fate. Alter, nearly a month’s patient and untiring in quiry, he, with the assistance of Mr. Martin Meredith’Lipscomb, whose business it was to attend the interment of all the Union pri soners who died at this post, made the ac quaintance of the negro grave-digger whom we have mentioned as being the sole specta tor of the burial of Col. Dahlgieu. They found him at Oakwood, pursuing his regular business. When first approached on the sub ject, tlie negro was very much alarmed, and protested tiiat lie would have nothing to do with the business. But, after repeated as surances by Mr. Lipscomb, whom he knew well, that he might rely upon Lohman and that no harm should befall him, he consent ed, on Mr, Lohman’s giving him a SIOO note, to point out the grave. This he did by walking near and casting a stone upon it, while Lohman and Lipscomb stood at a dis tance. He was afraid to employ any other method lest he might excite the suspicion of the superintendent of tlie cemetery or some of tlie attendants. The grave lay among thousands of those of Confederate soldiers. Subsequently,, after a great deal of persua sion and the promise of a liberal reward, the negro agreed to meet Mr. Lohman at the cemetery on the night of the tith of April, at 10 o’clock, and exhume the body. The appointed night having arrived, Mr. Lqliman, his brother, John A. Lehman, and Mr. , Jpscomb, started for the cemetery in a cart drawn by a mule. The night was dark and stormy, ami well suited to conceal their movements. The party left the city at nine o'clock, and reached their destination about ten, and there found waiting tor them the gravedigger and two assistants. The negroes being assured that all was right, began their work of exhumation, the three white men remaining with the cart outside the enclo sure of the cemetery. The heavens were hung with their deepest black; no object ten tect distant could be distinguished, and no sounds broke upon the loneliness of the place save tlie howling of the winds and the chop ping of the resurrectionist’s spade. Once the mule, snuffing the tainted air of the city of the dead, attempted to break away, but was quickly quieted by a firm hand. In twenty minutes from the .time the ne groes began their work they approached the cart, bearing between tiiem the coffin, which being badly made, fell to pieces as they rest ed it on tlie ground, it was then discovered that the body bad not decomposed in any perceptible degree. Mr. Loliman satisfied himself of the identity of the corpse by pass ing his baud over it. The little finger, torn oil to secure the jewel it bore, and leg lost iu battle, were missing. He paid the negro with whom he had contracted $1,300, and placing the body iu the cart, the party started on their return. The mule, alarmed, as animals ficquently are when drawing a dead body tor the l'nut time, became difficult of management, and, with the darkness of the night, made tlie first part ol the expedi tion one of no little peril. More than one hour was spent in reaching tlie gifs lights of the city on Church llill. It was part of the plan to convey the body.to tlie house of Wm. S. Rowlett, a Union man, living on Chelsea Hill, a half mile northeast of the city, there to remain until a metallic case could be pro cured for it. From Church Hill, Mr. Leh- man drove down Broad’strect to Seventeenth street; tliencc up Seventeenth street to its northern terminus, and thence up the hill to I Mr. Rowlett’s, reaching the last place.at two o’clock on the morning of the- 7th of April. I Jlere the body was wrapped in a blanket, and Mr. Lohmau came to the city in search of a coffin, which he obtained by the aid of Mr. Lipscomb. On his way into the city from Rowlett’s, Loliman notified a number ot persons of Union sentiments, among whom were several Indies, where tbe body had been placed, and they hurried out to see it. Sev eral of these persons had seen Col. Dahlgren while lie was exposed at the York River Railroad depot, and immediately recognized the body as his. The metallic coffin having been procured, and tlie body placed in it, tlie two Lohmans, at noon on the 7th, set out with it, concealed in a wagon loaded with young fruit Hues, for the farm of Robert or> ricks, a Union man, living in Henrico, two miles from Hungary Station. At 4 o'clock that evening they reached Or ricks's, and buried the body under an apple tree, in a field, avoiding tlie grave yard for fear of exciting inquiry, which might load to discovery. Tlie rest of this story may be told in a few words. Orricks, some months after the sec ond burial of Col. Dahlgren, succeeded in getting through the Confederate lines, and seeking an interview w ith Commodore Dabl gren, informed him of what had been done to secure the body of his son. The corpse of the soldier laid in this, its second grave, until the evacuation of Richmond, when an order having been sent for it by tlie War De partment, it was again disinterred by the two Lolimons and sent to Washington. It has been our object to lilt the veil of mystery from an obscure and interesting event, Iu doing so, we have confiued our selves to facts strictly relative to -tlie secret fates of Col. Dahlgren’s body from the time of its arrival iu Richmond, which, until after the capture of the city, remained, to all ex cept the few individuals named by us in the course ot our narrative, one of the most im penetrable mysteries of the war. Many Con federate officials knew that the body had been deposited at Oakwood, but they were ignorant to the last that it had ever been re moved. It has at last found its last earthly resting place. From EUyli mid 1 lir Wont India Islands. A correspondent of the Washington Chroni cle, writing from Kingston, Jamaica, gives some interesting information in reference to affairs in Hayti and the West India Islands, lie says; It is of public notoriety that the negroes of Hayti are in revolt against the liberal and patriotic GeffVard, but it may not be so well understood in the United States that the great object of the insurgents is to put down tlie whites who, to their mind, have of late ac quired too much intluence. The blacks dis trust tlie quadroons lully as much as they do tlie pure whites, and every few years they have a “rising,” if not a full-fledged revolu tion, to drive the “mixed bloods” out of power; but each effort has invariably termi nated in reducing the chances of negro su premacy permanently still lower. The lsland of St. Domingo is rapidly sliding out of ue groe rule, and we think here that it will some day become tlie emerald gem of these seas. Cuba looks very calm on the surface ; but the Cuban* are troubled with negro con spiracies and plans of insurrection, of which you never hear in the North, because the' press is muzzled, and the planters are not willing to tell the extent of their fears. I mention these facts because I have seen parties both from St. Domiugo and Cuba who have come over to Jamaica to dfetablish coffee and sugar plantations, on account of the in creasing circad of a war of races, which they fear will soon break forth in Cuba, and lead to the extermination of the white race in all the Antilles. Here in Jamaica we have happily outlived the day of such anxieties. We have come to a peaceful conciliation of interests, and I believe there is not another spot on this con tinent where the black labors more cheaply and cheerfully for his white employer, or where the white gentleman can build up a pleasant home for himself and liis, on easier terms. The laws give political equality, but social distinctions still exist to a large extent. A black must be an educated, honorable man witli ample means, and the warmest desire to maintain the position of a gentleman, to be well received in white families as a social visitor; whereas a very moderate percentage of tile same requirements would open those doors to any white man. There is a large sprinkling of Cubans coming over lately. A fear that “the ever faitliful isle” is on the eve of a terrible con vulsion is spreading abroad, aud those enter prising Yankees who have invested in Cuban slaves, and sugar plantations, had better look closely into the condition of tilings. Only a month back the police of Santiago de Cuba discovered and punished—silently hut with terrible severity—a negro conspiracy for the extermination of the whites in the coffee hills, five or six leagues back ol' that city.— Four of the ringleaders escaped in a fishing boat, aud landed safely in Jamaica. The islands are but one hundred miles apart, and such escapes from Cuba to Jamaica are not unusual. No one notices these refugees, but I have at “times had conversations with several of them in tlieiryilautatiou Spanish—the only tongue they can use—aud I glean the same story from all. Thc-negroes of Cuba know that slavery has been abolished in the United States, and that their Dominican neighbors have driven the Spaniards out of their Island, aud they expect to do the same thing for themselves. They know, also, that the native born wdiites of Cuba will en courage and lead the blacks iu the war against their Spanish masters, as tlie whites of St. Domingo have done, for all are imbued with a tierce common hatred of Spain. I hardly expect this warning to command much attention ; but I cannot refrain from sending it from this near staudpoin to those Americans who have interests to guard in Cuba. Cuba and the Cubans will as surely revolt from Spain within the next, two years as the Dominicans have expelled the best army Spain has ever had in these waters during the two past years. It will be done in Cuba as it was done in St. Domingo by the cordial union aud combined efforts of the blacks and native born whites. Spain need not lose real wealth aud power by the change if she knows how to convert unwill ing colonists into profitable customers for her products and manufactures, but the change is inevitable and not far off.
