HAVANA, March 2.-Tho Diario reports an othor victory for tho government at Cifueltes, and says that three hundred rebels surrender? ed at Villa Clara. General L'Esca is advancing into the interior without opposition, by avoid? ing tho routes on which tho rebels aro posted behind fortifications. The Diario also any? that the revolutionary General Napoleon Arin go has joined the Spanish General .Valmaseda, with two thousand mon. Thus reinforced, Valmaseda sot out from Puerto Principe to meet L'Esca, who was moving from La Guana ja. When these forces have effected a junction they will attack Quosida. Four Spanish gun? boats are cruising between La Guana ja and tho Spanish man-of-war Guadiua, which is watch? ing the revolutionists io ?^assau waters. Tho Gettysburg is hero. It is reported the insurgents lingering in the vicinity of Santiago da Cuba have again cut the aqueduct,.causing much inconvenience. Official iufoimation has been received that General L'Esca, strongly reinforced, is pushing his way into the interior from La Guanaja. The^ insurgents were stationed in force on the toad near Ma gara bomba, lt was expected the troops would soon attack them. General Puello has arrived at Cienfuegos with reinforcements. The troops will bo divid? ed into three dotachmcnts; one, under Puello, will go to Santo Espirita; ono, under Letona, to Villa Clara; and tho remaining division, under Paez, will march to Sierra Morona Ma? cagua. An engagement had taken place between the troops and insurgents at Coloma de San Do? mingo, in tho province of Sagua la Grande. Many were killed on both sides. The result of the battle is not known. Reports from Cuban sources say a fight occurred between the lobel forces under General Quesado and the army of General L'Esca, on the road from La Guanaja, and assort that the government troops were routed. Emigration of Cubans is undiminished. Every steamer that leaves is crowded with pas? sengers. Additional supplies of troops are needed to occupy the whole island and drive out the insurgents. The troops now here can do no more than hold their own. Meantime, people in the country are suffering all kinds of privation and distress, and their complaints are houri rending. Thousands'are leaving their homes aud seeking refuge in the cities. The niKhb colmia of tfie city havo been dis? continued. Many troops oru g unn; into the interior. Intelligence from Neuvitos to Thurs? day last states that on Sunday night, the 21st instant, the doors of all residences in that 3ity occupied by Cubans were marked by a black cress ou a placard with the words: "The time for clemency is ended! Vengeance 1" Groat excitement was caused, and the strenu? ous efforts of a few prominent Spaniards alone prevented an outbreak. A foraging expedition from the besieged garrison of Puerto Principe a few days since burned the Scaldivos estate. On their return they were attacked by the Cuban forces and compelled to retreat to Puerto Principe, with a & loss of forty killed and a large number woanded. Four thousand refugees from the country are represented to be at Gibara. There was great dearth of provisions, and an spidemic was feared. San Domingo advices to the 20rh are receiv? ed. The negotiation for a loan with British capitalists was a failure, the security offered net being satisfactory. *??he question of an? nexation to the United States was exciting considerable interest. President Baez bad in? structed General Fabens to confer with the Government of the United States on the policy of oreating a free, neutral centre of commerce in San Domingo. Coffee and sugar crops are short, but the tobacco crop shows an increase. Some Cubans declare their belief that as soon as General Grant is inaugurated Presi? dent he will recognize the belligerent rights of the revolutionary government in Cuba* Cuban accounts contradict the government dispatches reporting a triumphant advance from La Guanaga.

Charleston Meei ion Bill-What wiU ?e done with lt-Attorney-G?n?? ral Chamberlain and his Mission The Bank of the State Case in a New Form-An Important Habeas Corpus Case-An Important Decision in Re? gard to Taxation-M?nerai Legisla? tive Proceeding*. [FBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. J COLUMBIA, S. C., March 1.-Tho Charleston Eleotion bill was ratified to-day and preaonted to th? Governor for his approval. It is more than probable that it will be signed to-morrow* Tho Governor, it is reported, ha8 declared his determination to seo the law enforced. lu what way ba^roposes to do it is not stated. Much speculation is indulged in as to what Mayor Clark will do, his friends still claiming that Pillsbury and his supporters have only succeeded in discovering an tgnis faluis or "Jaok O'Lantorn," or in the words cf one of the ?notaber;? ,'*V7h&t*a tue uso of giving the peoplo a bill if you don't give them provisions." Ho wanted to seo "tho provisions of the bill carried out; the peoplo are starving because they don't got provisions." Attorney-General Chamberlain, who has but recently arrived hero from Charleston, loaves this citv for Washington to-morrow. It is surmised by many tbat ho goes for the pur? pose of looking after tho patronage of Federal offices to bo distributed in South Carolina by the now administration. It is known that ho carrios a very largo budget of letters and ap? plications with recommandations, each docu? ment covering several yards or folios of legal cap, kc. All communications to him may be addressed to Willard's, Washington, D. O. -Tho real object of his visit, however, is to at? tend to nn argument in tho case of tho Gran iteville Manufacturing Company against Benja? min Roper, late tax-collector of Edgefleld Dis? trict. Tho question involves tho liability of the Stato to receive bills bf the Bank of tho State at par for taxeB. The case stands No. 265 on tho United States Supreme Court docket at Washington. A motion will bo made to take it up in oonnootion with a case of tho Stato of Tennessee on the some question, which stands No. 160 on tho samo docket. It is believed tho argument will be made between thc 6th and 10th of March. A very important case of habeas corpus was heard to-day beforo Judge Boozer. Twelve prisoners tried and convicted, by military com? mission during the existence of tho military government in this State, and who have been lately returned from Fort Macon to tho custo? dy of tho civil authorities of this State, and who are now undergoing sentences of military commissions, woio brought beforo Judge Boozer, and a motion made for their uncondi? tional discharge. Tbe prisoners were represented by Messrs. Bice & Sloan, of this city, and tho Stato by tho Attorney-General. The case was elaborately argued on both sides. Counsel for the priso? ners contended, substantially, that upou the cessation of military rulo in the State all sen? tences imposed by military commissions bo. carno.in valid, and all parties detained in custo? dy or undergoing sentences by authority of military government were entitled to their ditt? on argo* They oonron Jed that tho pro visions of the present constitution required a present? ment by a grand jury and a trial by a petit jury, and the sentence of the judge. The pro? visions not having been observed iu the trial and conviction of these prisoners, they were en? titled to a discharge. . The Attorney-General argued that the pro? visional government, established under the auspices of President Johnson and subse? quently vested in the commanding general of this military district, derived its only force and validity from the sanction of the authority of the United States Government: that if these prisoners were entitled to their disoharge.then all persons undergoing sentence passed under the provisional government, by a circuit judge and other civil officers, were dearly entitled to their discharge. The power of the circuit judge, ho argued, rested upon the same foun? dation that the powers of tbe military tribunal did. to wie, upon the authority of tho United blates Government, which gave them all the right which either possessed to try criminals and impose sentences. The third section of the Reconstruction act of March 2,1667, ex? pressly enacted that a commanding general, in {iroteoting life and property, should allow the ocal omi tribunals to try criminal oases, but when in his judgment it became necessary, he should organize military tribunals for that pur? pose. In the case of tho prisoners at the bar. the commanding general had decided that their cases should be tried by a military com? mission. These military commissions were duly organized and proceeded to try and pass sentences, and these sentences had been ap? proved by the commanding general. The only power which could now mitigateor relieve from the -io sentences was the Governor, in the exer? cise of his pardoning power. . The Attorney-General said he know nothing of the monia of the case, and cared nothing for the merits', so tar as this aigument waa con? cerned, of tho oases of the prisoners at the bar. But he was anxious that no step should be taken which would indicate that the present State Government, which was tho result of the Reconstruction acts, should now stultify itself by declaring that the steps which wore taken by Congress were nugatory. This would be, he said, the precise affect-the logical effect;-of the disobargo of these prisoners. Judge Boozer delivered a carefully consid? ered opinion, in which he held that the views of the Attorney-General were substantially cor? rect. He regarded the sentence imposed by a military tribunal, during the existence of th? provisional government, as possessing the same validity as a sen to .ce imposed by Judge Moses as a circuit or provisional judge pos? sessed. He called attention to the cons?? quences -which must flow in all direction? from granting such a motion as was now made in ?half of these prisoners. It would, he said, unsettle all judicial proceedings under the pro? visional government. . The judge remarked that Ure issue was not a new one, but ;one which ho had o?rofully con? sidered, and one bf which he felt not the least doubt. The question of the constitutionality of tho Reconstruction acts had not boen raised in terms, but he felt tbat granting the motion now mac? would be tantamount to, and could onty be sustained upou tho ground that these acts were unconstitutional. 'Such a decision would not only release these prisoners, but would unseat himself and destroy tho very guud.atious of the present State Government, tho sentence- of the military tribunals were too severe, the Governor had ample power to modify or lo extend a full pardon. He could not for a moment think that there were any legal grounds upon which he, as a judge of Sonth Carolina, could to-day interfere in any manner with the sentence pronounced by mili? tary tribunals. He therefore order dd the pris? oners to bo remanded. Another interesting legal question was rais? ed a lew days sinse before Judge Boozer. A motion was made for a prohibition to tbs Treasurer of the Stato to ?restrain him from the collection of taxes for "ho fourth quarter of 1868, under General Canby's Order Mo. 189, which levies a tax of twenty coats on the hun? dred dellars apon ail ?nies of cotton and other | merchandise. The ease waa argued for thc plaintiffs loth? cause By ex-Ohaneellor Carroll, and for the Stitts by Sir. Solicitor Talley. It waa contended on behalf of the plaintiffs that this tax was unconstitutional, boaause it carno in , conflict with tbat o?anse of th? Constitution of | tho H tate which directs that all taxe* upon property, real or personal, should be assessed; j upon its actual value at the time of assess* ment. . It was. also urged (hat under the ?*t of i ?ga io o?iet nkh?i vested nuder iWHtarVoirdera which re-enacted Order No. 189, tbat this tax could not be collected, inasmuch as the act was only intended sud in fact only did quiet rights of property, Ac., in reference to which judgments orileeroes had already b-en made and entered, and hence did hot apply to the "? * r'ic' collection of future taxes under that order; in short, that it only quieted rights whioh had become vented at the time of its passage. It was further argued for tho plaintiffs that the net itself whioh is entitled " Ari act to quiet rights vested nuder military orders," could not be held to the exteut of enforcement of Order Mo. 189. because that purpose wat not express? ed in the title of tho act, and oven if it were so expressed the act would then become obnoxious to that clause of the constitution which re*1 quires that all acts shall relate) to but one sub? ject, which was to be expressed in the titlo of the sot. . For the State, tho Solicitor contended that the .clause of the constitution requiring all taxes upon property to be laidAupon its actual value at tho time of assessment, could not be held to apply to taxes upon sales, because sales were not properly, that this tax, therefore, be? came substantially a tax upon* incomes, upon the recoipts of business, ana nc!, upon property. It was also urged in reply to tho second argu? ment of counsel for plaintiffs, thai the entire matter embraced in the act referred to consti? tuted but one subject, which wis expressed iu its titlo, and that if tho objeot of the act had only been to quiet rights already vested, there could be no motive for re-enacting "Order No. 139. lu truth, the object of the'?cr'clearly was te mate Order No. lou lue tax kiw i t tho State until suck times as a new tax laa' should bo passed and a new tax actually levied ; hence this tax upon sales was still in force and would con? tinue so until the new tax law went into opera? tion. Judge Boozer decided that the prohibition should be granted mainly upon the seeond ground taken by counsol for plaintiffs, namely, that the act referred to only extended to quiet rights which hail been or become vested at the dato of its passage under mili<? orders, de? crees or judgments. Notioe of an appeal from this decision was immediately given by tho solicitor, aud a writ of error to the Supreme Court is uowjn prepa? ration. If this writ is filed within Jive days, specifying the object, it will operate as a su percedeas, and the treasurer will proceed with the collection of the tax upon soles of cotton and other merehandise as heretofore.

A Washington telegram of Sunday evening, to the Baltimore ?Sun, says : Tho preparations for tho unofficial ceremo? nies of inauguration day aro nearly perfected, and tho procession and bull are likely to prove the grandest and largest over witnessed on a like oocasion m this country. Everything per? taining to thoso have gone o:i harmoniously thus far, save as to tbe admission of or refusal to admit colored persons to tho ball, an* I os to the immensely important questions of iireco denco of position m the procession and cf con? trol thereof. Tho little me.i who want to bo creat, and who pant for distinction OD this oc? casion, and to como under tao special and ap? proving observation of tho President elect, are, to uso the catalogue phraso, too numerous to mention. The rival claims for consideration and for this or thal position in the line have Riven tho ' managing committee moro trouble than all other matters combined, and the momentous question is yet undecided. Tho committee, however, have disposed of tho negro admission difficulty, and authorize tho announcement that colored persons will not be present, the high-toned colored popula? tion having too much self-respeot to force themselves into society where they are not weloome, and those who have not any self-res? pect will uot be admitted anyhow. The committee not deBirmg to act on mere rumor that Geaeral Grant will not ride with President Johnson to the capitol, and that Air.

There is absolutely nothing positively known ibout tho matter ?ave to General Grant, who, t is said to-night, will announce the names of ihe now Cabinet on Tuesday next. Even this jj mere rumor.

Then who id the Massa ihusetts man, waa asked; but General Grant tras mum, and to-night there is as much speou ation about the Massachusetts momba- IIB Caere has been about the.Pennsylvania fortu? nate individual. The knowing dues say posi? tively it won't be Boutwoll nor (Sumner, and che Pennsylvania man is in as much doubt os ?ver. General Grant visited the Booie yesterday, retired to a cloak-room, and called for Mr, Boutwell, and direotly sent alaofor Mr ?io? juin. Tue quidnuncs were almost crazed with JUTioBity to lind outr what it all moaut, and va? rious reports aro in circulation relative to the purpose of the extraordinary visit. It tains jut that certain Southerners, Georgians es? pecially, had begged General Grant to advise (he members of the Reconstruction Committee lo refrain from legislation intended to exolude members who had already been regularly ad? mitted to their seats, ana that General Grant bad received information from General Meade ind others as to the status of affairs in Geor? gia, which made it advisable that there should be no farther legislation at this time relative to Georgia. General Grant also opposes army reductions ?it present. The proposition befere Congress would disarrange his plans for reorganizing md for promotions that would follow by reason af the promotion of Sherman. Mr. MoCannon, a prominent lawyer of Wash? ington County, Pa., arrived here yesterday and immediately called to see General Grant's family, to whom he is related distantly. The town was full of it, and of coarse licCannon iras the coming man from Pennsylvania. He bad been sent for specially by General Grant, whose carriage was in waiting at the depot for the coming man, into which the latter jumped j,ud rode hastily off to Grant's residence. I give this as a speoimenof the trivial things ra which rumors are started a boot tho forma? tion of the new Cabinet. The fact appears to be that Hr. MoCannon did not ride in Glenora! Grant's carriage; that it was not in waiting for him, and General Grant did not ?end for him. Most of the Cabinet rumors and accounts of illeged interviews with the President eleot are gathered np by persons who seek notoriety, ind wish to have themselves advertised. Tjtie Hew Cabinet* Another correspondent of the sam?jp&per writes: After all that has boon said upon the subject. Lhere is not much likelihood that any one will leflnitely know who are to compose General Brant's Cabinet until after the inauguration. Ho remarked to-day that no good general would announce to hus enemies in advance of i campaign what officers had been selected tc sommand his artillery, civalry and infantry; that he was aware how difficult it would be for bim to pleasM^C various oliques of politicians, who hoped to gel their own mon into Cabinet positions, and that he had no desire to antag? onize hm administration at the outset with any branch of the Republican party. He said, further, that, although the gentlemen whose Dames be proposed to send to the Senate might hot be noisy politicians, they were good md true men, who stood by the country during the war, and who bad voted for the Republican ticket last fall. This, he added, may not please some af my Pennsylvania friends, who are so bard to please, but I shall, nevertheless, do what I believe to be right. There axe some very important rumors on the street to-night, which seem to have good foundatron. One rumor is that General Grant will issue his first order as oommandor-iu -chief of the army on Friday next, and that it Will be h notice to all that the Reconstruction laws cf Congress are to be carried out in good faith "by officers whjse sympathies are right." An? other rumor is that General Sheridan will be sent back to his command at Mew Orleans, in place of General Buchanan; that General Bey Solda will go again to Texas to relieve General an by ; that General Sickles will relieve General Heede, and that General Gillern will also be superseded. . A Weabinsrton disnatoh of the 27th ?lt., lo the Mew York Evoning Post, says : ' A delegation of Pennsylvanians visited Geno ral Grant yesterday evflhing to ask bim if he would recommend them to draw ?pa memorial requesting him to appoint Hr. Mooro, of Pennsylvania, to a place in the Cabinet, which should bo signed hy all of the delegation. General Grant read the paper, and said, on the whole, they had batter not, and suggested that most of the members had already signed a request for another man. Some had signed Cor several. If all these ?seraorials should be? come known, some ol those who bad pat thou* name? to them might feel themselves in a ridiculous position. Grant said; I think a President should be allowed to choose his Cabinet without inter? ference from any one. .They aro hie confiden? tial advisers, and he mist?best know whom ho wishes to eau to him in that capacity. ?n othey positions under the government il? is likely to weloome snggefiUons, U r t jere are a great many of them, and he oar. no ? be ex? pected m every case to know who are tho best qualified men; but in selecting his Cabinat he may properly act without suggestions from any soutoe. One thing he wonidsaj: Those whom he sheeted would aiFb? men who WM* tojaito tho Union dnnng the war, and who gave a strrmg und faithtul support to the platten? ticket on which haw*? elected. They mignt not ?rove to be tb? best men la practice, bat ho should BOOM discovor the fact, and he could mako cbanpes at any time in that ?n?o. There was no difli-ult y about that. Tho men ho had soloctod would not roriain in the Cabinet, hu thought, if it was not agree? able. Ho had originally intended to v? no, about a week ago, to each gentlemau whom he had fixed upon for a Cabinot position, asking him to serve, but he was glad hq had not done BO, and now ho would keep tho whole matter to himself until tho appointments were sent to tho Sonate. That saved much trouble to him and to the gentlemen ho meant to call around him;' but ho had already inado up his mind. He could send in tho wholo Cabinot at that moment. Still, ho might at any timo chantre his mind; and, 30 long aa tho names wero known to him alone, he cjuld do so without affonce to any ono. His incautious utterance to tho Pennsylvania politician tho other day tiad alroady given himself and others muoh neodless tremble, gomo persons seem to tako ib for granted that ho had designated Mr. 3oj?f?o H. Stuart for a place. Ho had not ;aiu any? bing of the kind, and did not moan to ;oll any one whether ho had or not, but as por 10nshad spolton against Mr. Stuart, ho wished ,0 say to the Pennsylvania frontiemon that Mr. Stuart was a loyal niau during thc war, and an lonorablo man. That did not imply, however, hat ho (Grant) would or would not appoint lim. The delegation then withdrew. JHarricfc. BOATWRIftHT-STROHEOKER.-At St. John's lutheran Ohureh, February 38. 1868. bv Rev.
