The "Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette writes: "The news
fljb$ C^^oTjn |oj?et important char
acter. The Cubans have regained pos
session of the Cioco Villas district, while
General Jordon has driven the Span
iards from Loa Tunas and the Puerto
del Padre country. The loss of the
Spanish forces is reported to hare been
very large.- and the disaffection in the
army and die contests between the vol
unteers and the regulars have resulted
in the ahnest complete annihilation of j
the government forces in those sections
of the island. The at tempt'of De Rodas
to carry out the polioy of the present
Government of Spain?that of 'concilia
tion and promises*?has bad the effect
of dividing the volunteers into two frac
tions. Those volunteers who have given
in fhesr adhesion to the De Rodas Gov
t, and have surrendered impor
tant militnry positions?forts, arsenals,
&c.?and thus placed them under the
control of Spanish troops, are denounced
as traitors by their former comrades, and
are pursued with more enmiiy than even
the Cubans who are in insurrection.
' General Jordan has been placed by the
Cuban insurgents in command of the
. Eastern Department of the island, ami
it is reported that he has made several
visits lately to Porto Rico, and that there
is a large organisation in thai island
ready to revolt at any moment. Sym
pathy for the Cuban is said to pervade
the population of the whole island.

the following letter:
State op South Carolina,
Executive Department,
Columbia, July 7, 1869.
Messrs. Stenhouse, Dicrvks ami Gibson,
Tax-payers:
Gentlemen?My attention has been
called to your communication in the
JPhceuix of Saturday, in which you state
that a number of persons are - complain
ing of the assessments of taxes made in
the State; and you wish to ascertain
what course would *be best to pursue to
secure redress. There is some indefinite
ness as to the nature of the wrongs to be
redressed, but there is a specific allega
tion as to the onerous amount of the as
sessments.
The course provided by law in such
eases is for the complainant to appeal to
the County Auditor, with a statement of
his case, who will forward it to the Au
ditor of State, who has full power to
make any abatement or correction which,
in his judgment, is just and proper. As
to the general eharge, which is inferrible
from your note, that the taxation is too
heavy, I have to say that the amount
provided for is required by the necessi
ties of the State, and must be collected
to meet its exigencies, and to fulfill effi
ciently its engagements and responsibili
ties.
The estimated expenses of the State
government for the current year amount
to about 9550,000?somewhat in excess
of previous years, which is attributable
to the iocreasnd sum required for legis
lative expenses during the prolonged ses
sions required for the passage of laws iu
conformity with the new Constitution ;
and also to the arrearages of salaries and
fees of judges, sheriffs, &c, which were
properly chargeable to the proceeding ad
ministration, but which it did not pro
vido for. The interest ou the State debt,
which had not been paid the proceeding
year, required for the two years $615,
000, and the establishment aud main
tenance of free schools about ?65,000
more?making in all $1,230,168, which
had to be provided for by tuxutiou. The
Constitution required thut taxes should
be levied upon the real and pcrsoual pro
perty in the Stats, in proportion to its
value ; aud to ascertain its amount, as
sessors were appointed throughout the
State to examine and appraise it. Many
of these proved to be inexperienced in
such business, and their returns indica
ted so much of caprice and irregularity,
und worked so unfairly iu many Coun
ties of the State, that the Board of
Equalization, whoso duty it is to equalize
taxation among the Coiuatics, made ma
terial change". 3 s an illustration of the
discrepancies in the valuation, the arable
plough lands in Abbeville County wero
uppraised at $2.25. per acre ; in Ander
son, $6.20; inColleton, $7.72 ; in Dar
lington, $6.83; in New.hwcy, $584 ; and
in Oconee, $9.28 ; whib the same char
acter and quality of land was app ?cd
in Chesterfield at $2 per acre; in Edge
field, $3; in Marion, $3.27; aud in
Oj-angcburr. $1.71. The Board of
Equalization made such corrections in
these returns as were requrre4^j|^justico
pre^ent^xjifpropor
Jof taxation being ^rown
es wfcich t?4r manifested
e reasonableness iu estimat
ing the value of their lands. The ag
gregate value of the property of the Stute,
as established by the Board of Equalise
ticn, was $104,022,342, whioh, I ani con
vinced, is still far below its real value;
and that if the Assessors had dono their
duty honestly and fearlessly, the amount
would have been at least $200,000,000.
Upon the sum fixed by the Board of |
Equalization, the State Auditor lovied a
tax of turec-fouiths of ono per cent.,
which should yield a revenue of f1,230,
168; but, allowing for defaults, not more I
than 11,000,000, the amount prescribed!
by the Legislature, can be realized. Of
this sum, $600,000 will be paid out for
interest, a large proportion of it to our
own citizens; the balance will be de
voted to the current expenses of the
State, and will be returned to our people
in extinguishing the floating debt accu
mulated duting the past three years, and
in the establishment and maintenance of ]
public schools.
By this statement you will perceive,
gentlemen, there is nothing in the pre
sent system of taxation to justify the
eharges of unfairness or opposition ; nor
is it excessive or extraordinary, either as
compared with the past experience of our
own State, or with tho existing rates of
taxation in other States of tho Union.
The amount levied in this State for
eurrcnt expenses was, in 1867, $474,849;
in 1868, $459, 271, and for the present
year, $549,474, the incrcaso being satis
factorily accounted for by tho arrearages
left from the proceeding administrations,
and the expenses of the increased legis
lation- necessary. And as regards our
sister States, I venture the nsscrtion that
no State, South or North of us, has a
more moderate rate of taxation than our
nan
own.
hi1 hi?o ' ? ? ?' "i". ? ,
It was to havo been expected, how
ever, that tho substitution of the present
system of taxation for the one heretofore
iu practice would be unsatisfactory to
many, aud give rise to complaiuts, inas
much as a large portion of the property
holders of the State had been subject to
only a nominal taxation, as their proper
ty was greatly, undervalued ; now' they
are required to contribute their propor
tionate share for the support of the
State. While this may be considered a
grievance by them, no candid nnd disin
terested person will so regard it. Aud
notwithstanding the lamentations.about
tho over valuation of lauds, -there are
but fow of tho owners who wouU con
sent to sell them at their assessed vat
tiou. The low prices occasionally brouj
at sheriffs' and bankrupts' sales are no
criterion of the value of the property
disposed of, as there is generally a natu
ral sympathy among the people preseut
for the unfortunate debtor, und he is
pormittcd to purcha&c his property, with
out opposition, at his own price.
There is no doubt that there are im
perfections in the tax law, nnd irre
gularities in the execution of it. b'or
tho present, individuals have tho right
of appeal against what they deem in
equitable aud unjust, und I havo nc
doubt such alterations and modifications
of tho law as will bo shown to be ne
cessary, will bo mudc at tho next session
of tho Legislature,
But while unpatriotic efforts are being
made to induce our poople to believe
that our system of taxation is oppressive
and ruinous. I would invite you to look
at its bcueficial effect upon the prosperity,
the credit and the character of tho State.
In affording a satisfactory evidence of
tho determination of our people to pay
its debts und meet its responsibilities, it
huB lifted the credit of tho State from
the verge of bankruptcy to a respectable
und prominent position in financial aud
monetary circles. Our bonds, which at
ouc time could be purohassed for twenty
tivo cents on the dollar, uow command
seventy-threo cents, and are steadily
advancing, insomuch that I am in hopes
by the 1st of January they will be
practically at par. In this single item
alone there has been already a gain to.
the people of 82,500,000; but the satis
factory vindication of tho financial
resources of the State was of infinitely
raoro valuo in enhancing the-value of |
property throughout its entire limits to
the extcut ot many millions, and attract
ing to it the attention of capitalists nnd
emigrants.
The floating debt of the Stato has
boon provided for and retired, and the
bills receivable, which furnished at or.e
period the only currency of our Treasury,
nnd which circulated at from twenty
five to thirty-five per cent, discount, are
now substituted by par funds. This
discount was so much loss to the State,
as tho materials and supplies for our
jails and asylums were purchased with
the depreciated funds, aud at propor
tionately enhanced prices. Tho restora
tion of the State credit has also revived
the Blue Ridge Bailroad, which hrs so
long been lying dormant, and it is fully
expected that, in. a few. days, it will be
put under contract to responsible parties,
who will energetically press i?? So com
pletion. This grcut enterprise will prove
bo important artery of oommeioe and
wealth to the Stute, permeating every
portion of it from the mountains" to the
sea. Indications of coining prosperity
are apparent ou every hand, and all that j
is requisite for its realization is the
establishment of peace and traoquility
within our borders, so that the intelli
gent and enterprising may feel secure* in
the investment of thoir moans iu pro
jects which, while advancing their own
fortunes, contribute materially to the
wealth and resources, of the Sttitcraad
that the sturdy -?ad'hidl&tiubus laborer
may be unmolested in his efforts to
secure' for himself and family an holiest
livelihood.
May Xn?t hope, gentlemen, that you
and every well-wisher of the State will
join me in aspirations for the realisation
of this desirable result, and pledge our
earnest efforts for its accomplishment.
The duty of the officers entrusted With
tho collection of faxes is.plain and im
perative. It is to press their payment
steadily and perseveringly, and to rigidly
enforce the penalty of 25 per cent, on
delinquents. If these officers are inter
rupted 'or interfered with, it is incum
bent on. me to see that the laws of the
State nre promptly and faithfully exe
cuted, and none are more vital to its
safety and efficiency than those relating
to its finances. Should factious attempts
be made to embarrass the government by
the interposition of the courts I shall
be compelled to convene the Legislature
in extra session, ami to oak for the
enactment of such laws as may bo neces
sary, and when passed they will be
promptly enforced, with as much mode
ration as is compatible with the attain
ment of the ends to be accomplished. It
may bo that repressive measures of the
character alluded to, should there be a
necessity for resorting to them, will add
largely to the burdens of the tax-payers,
and be productive of agitation and ex
citamcnt; but, however much this is to
be regretted, the responsibility and
odium must rest on the thoughtless and
reckless men who have rendered them
necessary, i A government iucapablo or
unwilling to maintain its dignity and
enforce its laws, again*t open violence or
covert fraud, is unworthy of tho name,
and is a fit subject for the pity aud con
tempt of its friends, and the scorn and
derision of its enemies. By the blessing
of Divine Providence, aud with the as
sistance and co-operation of our law
abiding citizens. 1 attl determined that
South Carolina shall not present this
pitiable epeeiuela to_tiia u'urld vlLUu hor

Lnnd and Labor.
At the meeting of the State Agricul
tural Convention, held in April last, it
Was resolved that the various counties of
t ic State be recommended to form iuimi
iration societies auxiliary to the central
t PSDciation in Newbcrry. This was a
highly proper recommendation ; but we
lire not nware that the different counties
lave done anything to give it effect.
Some stimulus, some cxeitiug force is
necessary, and it is hoped that the Exe
cutive Committee of the State Agricul
tural Society, who meet in Columbia on
Wednesday, will give this subject of im
migration their earnest attention.
At this time, the immigration ques
tion divides itself into two brauche*; 1
The adoption of the necessary measures
for securing Chinamen to work in the
rice fields and on the sea island planta
tions, where the Europcuti laborer can
not live,' 2. To devise a plan for obtain
ing European immigrants for the middle
and upper sections of the State. Pass
ing by, for the moment, the question of
Asiatic immigration, there remains a
problem which is not easy to be solved,
viz: How to ovorcomc the the induce
ments which the Northwestern States
offer to white immigrants, and how to
remove the prejudice which, other things
being equal, causes the European to
avoid with sedulous care the fertile fields
und rich savannahs of the South. The
unreasoning distrust of the Southern
people which exists on the continent of
Europe, the effect of a decade of calum
ny and falsehood, will gradually die out;
but it is not wise to choose the rugged
rond when there is a broad and even
path leading to the same goal. We
should direct our efforts in relation to
immigration to those points where the
feeling against us is the weakest, and
where we can obtain the industrious and
hardy men, without whom we cannot
quickly prosper. In Scotland and Ire
land aud England, for example, the pre
judice is not nearly ns strong as it is iu
Germany; and, if wo offer greater ad
vantages than are offered by tho North
west, wc can go into the labor market in
those countries and obtain just ns mauy
immigrants ns can be obtained by Illi
nois, or Minnesota, or any Western
State.
/ But cau wc offer to the Scotchman,
(the Irishman aud Englishman greater
(advantages thuu are- offered by tho
Northwest ;' We think we can. There
arc hundred* of thousands of acres of
good la?d in Sov.th CaJ*)lina which, havo
hardly a market value. The femes uro
trotting, tie fields arc choking up with
(woods, scrub oaks or pines are taking tho
fplace of the fleecy cotton or, golden corn.
[There is no demand for these lands, and
they cannot be worked because wo have
not the laborers, or, perhaps, the ready
money for wages aud supplies. Land is
the one thing that we have in abundance.
Labor is the only thing that will make
nur land valuable. Land, tben, of which
we have too much, must he made to pro*,
cure labor, of which we have uot enough.
The value of land is iu proportion to tho
population. As population increases the
land rises in price, and it is not too
much to say that to double the white la
boring popubtiou of South Caroliua
Would bo to treble or quadruple tho
value of the land. This will hardly be
denied, and the whole proposition re
solves itself into this : Are tho people
willing to give away to actual white set
tlers a portion of their lands, having tho
certainty that tho remainder will, in a
year or two, be worth more in actual
money than the wholo tract is worth
now ??Charleston Nnrx.

Responsibility of Sureties.?In

yesterday a number of cases which in
volve the question of the responsibility
of sureties on official bonds. As the
question is one of a public interest, we
give the facts. After the close of the
war 0. L Keach was appointed Post
master at Aiken, S. C and Messrs.
Wm. Gregg and Nathaniel O. Til
ton were sureties on bis official bond.
I u December, ISGli. the sureties notified
the Ooverumeut that the Postmaster was
misapplying the funds, and that they
would no longer be responsible for his
official good conduct. Keacii was,
however, not removed until some time
after, when it was discovered that be
was in default to the amount ol $070.
Action was brought by the Government
against him and against his sureties.
Under the charge of the Judge the jur)
returned a verdict against tho sureties
for 25X), with interest from the 31sl of
December, 18t?l5, upon the ground that j
the notification of the defendants and
the fact that the Government took no
notico of it at the time, released the
sureties from responsibility after that
time. The District Attorney gave notice
of an appeal.? Charleston Com irr.
