I By Telegrapti. *M? to-?-tl- fe? Hajrtl. BOSTON, August 91.-Bs the arrival ci th? brig Example at this port, we haift advices from Gape Haytien to Julv 25. The rebels still held the place, sus? taining a daily cannonading from the national troops, \ o had failed to in? flict much damage, only three persons having been killed and a few houses damaged. It was thought that so long aa the rebels could obtain a supply of ammu? nition and provisions, they could hold out. A vessel recently ran in with a sup? ply of provisions, although the port is blockaded by two steamers. Provisions were getting short in the city. There waa only seven days* sup? ply on hand. The foreign consuls attempted to mediate between the belligerents, but without success. The lives of the American and Eng? lish consuls had been frequently threatened by the rebels, owing to their supposed sympathy with the cause of Gearard. A Lima BJUHCAB GAME.-The Boston radicals have addressed an elaborate communication to the Presi? dent on the question of reconstruc? tion. The document is signed by a large number of the leading men of Boston, among whom is Thoopb.ilus Parsons, its probable writer. The object of this movement is, ostensibly, to induce the President to put the re? claimed States upon a lengthened .probation before admitting them into fellowship in the Union. The policy of this course is ably argued, audit? . necessity,'in view of the intractable spirit shown by the late rebels, is set lorth in strong terms. But the real object of the radicals is very easily discerned through this nicely-worded letter to the President. Their object ia to argue this question before the people, with a view of gaining strength enough in the next Congress to prevent ex-rebel State members from taking their seats, and by this means compel the said States to adopt the negro-su?xage doctrine in order to obtain representation in Congress. This is the great end that the radicals are now figuring? for, and they will leave no means untried that promises . to facilitate ita' accomplishment. As the matter now utanda, it is quito doubtful whether they can muster votes enough to reject the new mem? bers, upon the negro suffrage issue alone, and hence their desperate at? tempt* to make proselytes. It re? mains to be seen what effect thia last dodge will have toward the desired ; end.-New York Sun, August 22. j GIN. BOBEBT E. LEE.-Our able -and usually well-informed co tempora? ry, the Chicago Tribune, has some remarks which are less accurate than usual' We quote from its columns: ' "Gen. Lee, we understand, has ap , plied for pardon in a voluminous do? cument denyinjr his guilt-fhat is, denying that he ls a proper case for a pardon. On the other hand, it is largely claimed by Lee's Northern friends that the terms of his surrender to Grant amount to a pardon, and shield him from all punishment by; the Government." Gen. Lee's application . is not a vo? luminous document, but avery brief one, containing only some forty or fifty words. It says nothing about his gnilt or innocence, either affirma? tively pr negatively.? ?or have we ever heard of any of Lea's friends who claimed that his surrender involved pardon. The utmost that any one has ever claimed about it is. that it guarantees his personal security so long as he obeys the laws in force at the place where he resides. But thia ia not pardon, because it leaves bim without any civil rights, and liable to trial and punishment for his great po? litical and military crimes, should he ever commit any infraction of the laws in question. {Chicago Republican. The Bichmond Republic says that after the surrender , of Gen. Lee, his eon, Wm. H. F. Lee, without loss of time, repaired to the White House, determined, notwithstanding the late? ness of the season, to attempt to make a crop of corn. Three young men, formerly of his command, attended him. A German and- an Irishman and 'two freedmen were subsequently add? ed to their force. They began plough? ing on the 29th of April, and have made a splendid crop of corn, esti? mated'at 1,500 bushels. Oliver Waters, of Cleveland County, North Carolina, a whiskey peddler, was killed in an affray at Chester, South Carolina, a day or two since, by a man 'named Kistler. ' tU ?

It is a sort of honorary sword, very beautifully carved and finished. Af this officer held high rank and had hitherto given his prince every reason to be satisfied, the latter sent him, is order to alleviate the effect of thc message as far as possible, one of hit own swords set with diamonds, anc selected his prime minister as bearer. The officer received the present, anc was well aware what it signified. Af te] reverently regarding the instrument o his punishment, he quietly left hi house, went to the port, got on bo art of a French ship bound for Havre and safely reached Paris, where hi sold the sabre for Of'51000, TRAGEDY IN TEXAS.-W.
