TERLY INA CTI TIT Y IK REGARD TO CUBA- GRANT NOT WELL-BUREAU APPOINTMENTS. WASHINGTON, Match 27_In an audience with a mixed delegation of Republicans and Conservatives yesterday, Grant reiterated his Opposition to the ponding Mississippi bill. The weather is delightful. A masterly inactivity regarding Cuban affairs is tb.9 present policy here. Grant favors a policy regarding Mississippi . similar to that proposed by tho committee of nine for Virginia. Indications are tSat the House will adhere to the absolute repeal of the Tenure-of office bill. Neither House is in session to-day.

Thc Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes under date of the 24th instant : At half-past two o'clock to-day, a delegation of Mississippians had an interview with President Grant. The members of the delega rion present were Colonel L. W. Perce A. My gatt, General B. B. Eggleston, William H. Gibbs, Major E. J. Castello, A. Alderson, Dr, C. A. Foster, Major J. G. Jewell, Kev. Dr. T. W. Stinger, Colonel C. P. E. Johnson, Colonel J. B. Webster, J. A Jamison and General H W. Barry. They were introduced individually, by Colonel L. w. Perce. After the introduction Col. Perce addressed the President briefly, and stated that they bad called upon him to con? gratulate him upon bis election and to ask his assistance in passing the Mississippi bill now before Congress. The President remarked that he had seen the bill reported, but he did not know in what shape it would pass Congress. Ho had conversed with at least three of the Reconstruction Committee upon the subject, and he did not think it likely tbat the bill would be passed in a form to bring peaco to Missis? sippi. Still Congress had all the evidence on the subject beforo them. Colonel Perce ex? pressed a confidence in the wisdom of Con? gress. The President said there was no way for the restoration of Mississippi except by the action of Congress. To him the most feasible, the least expensive and the quickest way to re? store the State seemed to be to give the Gov? ernor of the State, who is also the military commande1:, time to appoint all the officers un? der the - tent law ot Congress, then re? submit i constitution to *he vote of the peopie allowing all to vote who ave qualified under the ReconslrucMon acts, and no others, Congress selecting such articles as they deem ne teesary to be voted on sepa? rately without allowing them to affect the con? stitution as a whole. There were, he said, portions ot the constitution that might be re? jected, and perhaps ought to be. Colonel Perce here suggested and urged that the President of the convention, who is authorized by the bill under consideration to appoint the Stale officers, being better acquainted with ! the people and their wants, would be better able tomato judicious appointments than the military Governor. The President, without making any definite reply, arose, and the dele? gation retired, highly disgusted and indignant at the unsatisfactory result of their interview. Theyexpressei themselves when away from the White He ise in strong language against President Grant, and even went so far as to wish hun in a warner clim ato than Washing? ton. Another Visit of Aliaaieaipplans to the Pr?sident. A Washington dispatch of the 26th inst, to to the Baltimore Sun says: To-night a company ef Mississippians, rep? resenting the Conservative and Republican ele? ments in that State, Judge Simnaerell, ex-Gov? ernor Albert G. Brown anl Mr. Watson, of the former, and Judge Jeffards, Captain Fisk and Major Wofford, of the latter, visited President Grant and were introduced by Judge Dent. The interview was exceedingly pleasant ard satisfactory. The President thought the best plan of quieting the opposing parties in Mis? sissippi would be for Congress to authorize the constitution to be again submitted to the people, a separate vote to be taken on the fea? tures objec'.ed to by the Conservativos, and that in the me intime the present military commander should control the State. The .Memphis and El Paso Kallroad General Fremont in the Lobby. The same dispatch says: iiB^aVirl^ "oad has been lyintr on the table of the Senate or some timo. and. Mr. Morton has mado fre? inent efforts to get it taken up and passed, mt without success. This is the road tn which General Fremont is interested, and is not re? garded favorably by the Senate Committee on he Pacific Railroad, who refused to include it n their omnibus bill reported at the last ses I?JD, although General Fremont was very per inacious in urging it upon them. Since the lill has come over from the House General fremont bas boen very constant in his attend ince on the sessions of the Senate to watch. To-day, while ho sat upon the sofa, next to Mr. Howard, that Senator, as the organ of thc Pa :itlc Railroad Committee, move i to tako tho Fremont bill from tho table and refer it to the committee, which would bavo boen tanta? mount to killing it. Fremont at once became .'cry anxions, but appeared considerably re ieved when the objection of Mr. Morton pre? sented the consideration of Mr. Howard's notion. FALLING IN LOVE. [From Temp'.e Bar.] This early love, also, is fruitful of miseries brough its inexperience. Under ordinary cir iumstances, two young people of opposite lexes and the same age, are sure to fall in love TI th each other if they are left much togethor. [t is the most natural method of imparting a tew interest to the ordinary business of taking valkB toehurch and back, of spending the eve ling, and so forth. It is so very quiet and I i limpie a revolution that the young people are I t inly awakened tc its presence by some little ncident that flashes the truth upon their a rightened ejta. Then there is a brief mo- \ nent of superhuman ecstacy, followed by a nutual protestations, vows of constancy, and earful adjurations to secrecy. Week after veek this blissfully disquieting life goes on, md then Edward, turning despainng eyes to- t vard her, bids her farewell, and goes off in quest I )f fame and fortune Which of them shall first t ind jut the profound mistake and blunder that c ay at the root ot all this fleeting joy ? Which f >f them shall first awake some morning to find 1 i new object installed in the chamber of the t iffections, which heretofore has only had an f nsufficient and temporary lodger? Perhaps Ed? vard discovers that a very few week's aosonce I c nts made a wonderful difieren co in his view of I t biogs; and now, being able more impartially o scan tho unhappy Clara's disposition and I t emper, finds that these would never assort with | t tis own. Or it is Clara, who sees in Edward's pilfulne8s and fits of su Iden liking and dislik Dg, an unhappy omen for the future, and die overs that her heart does not cling to him I t ri th that perfect abandonment which would I t sake marriage a safe experiment Her stters become more subdued.

THE WAR X-V CUBA.. The Revolution as Seen by an Eye Wit? ness-Condition of the Insurgents Their Policy and Means of War. The following account of the condition of things in Cuba is furnished bj Air. Charles Mccormack, who has resided for several years in the City of Puerto Principe, where he was employed as master machinist of the Puerto Principe and Nuevitas Railroad. Mr. Mccor? mack having travelled on horseback from tbe place of his late residence through the heart of tbe island to the first railway station from which he could take the cars to Havana, and passed through the insurgent and Spanish lines, a distance of more than one hundred leagues, during which time he held frequent in? tercourse with all classes of the population, has had the opportunity to form a valuable appre? ciation of the revolution now on foot. Tbe long distance he was compelled to travel on horse? back makes his dates not so late as the news we have published, but as an inside view of the revolution it will be found interesting: PERSONAL STATEMENT. The . pupation of the line of railroad from Puerto Principe to Nuevitas having left me without employment. I determined to return to th J Unite 1 States. I pro tired the neces? sary papers from Colonel Mena, the Spanish Governor of the city, and started with a com? panion, on horseback, by land, tor Havana, on the 12th of February last. At that timo tho native male population, with the exception of th? small children and very old men, had entirely left the city in con? sequence of the revolutionary movement. The native Spaniards, mostly shopkeepers, had en? rolled themselves in tho volunteer corps, and were exceedingly bitter in their hostility to tho Cubans. These, with tho small number of regular troops in the city, gavo Colonel Mena a force of about 8000 men, well supplied with arms and ammunition und a few field pieces. There had been a regiment of colored troops in the garrison, but these had nearly ali de? serted to the insurgents, taking their arms with them. The roads loading into tue town were all barricaded by the Spmish troops in the outskirts. Operations against tbe insur? gents were confined to an occasional foray of the Toops for provisions and forage,which were usually made in strong force and encountered little open resistance, though on every occa? sion they encountered a constant ambuscaded fire both in going from and returniug to the town. The feeling of the natives of all classes is very decided for the revolution, and young and old, rich and poor, have gone into it. General Dulce's proclamations of amnesty and reform at first produced some effect, and many were in favor of accepting them. Among those were one, if not two, of the Arango's, and one of tfcem had begun negotiations to that effect. For this purpose he had held communication with Colonel Mena, and appointed a day when be would come in unarmed under a flag of ti nco to confer with bim. It was stated in Principe that Colonel M ena'j orders to tho squad sent to meet Aran no were to bring him the corpse of that rebel. The lact was that ho I j (vas shot as soon as he approached the suburbs ' sf tho town, and tho remains were hacked and iisfig tired after death. This event stopped en? tirely the feeling in favor of accepting the am? nesty and reforms among tho Cubans. Tho insurgont force gathered round Puerto Principo amounts to about 7000 men, and I a-as informed that 8000 moro were holding the line of railway bot ween that city and Nuevitas. They aro very enthusiastic in ibo cause, but , , MM M- ? -, . "1 . - . ... .-? ". , ?? - . ... I- I ion. Their ojly cannon are a few pieces of ron pipe well plugged and bound round with [ landed strips of the hard woods of tho coun- ? ry. Every available instrument was applied ? o the making of a weapon for offensive pur >oecs, and a lance- and mach?te-a short, heavy jj iword-wero the general armament. A few tad breech-loading riflo3 captured from the . Spaniards, but the want of the proper amma- r lition rendered them of little service. An old- j ashioned flintlock muzzle-loading muskot was , ho favorite arm, as it could always do service ^ vhether there were patent cartridges, porous- ^ lions capB, ?c., in camp or not. Whoever had * ?ne of these prized it above all the patent arms 0 be had. There was but little organization among the brees of the revolution, although General Juesada was recognized as the chief in com uand. Every leader had raised and kopt to? gether what men he could, and the camp seem !d more like a gathering of privato bauds than 1 regular force. General Quosada was labor ng to introduce regimental and brigade organ- . zations. It was this reason, the absence of .?.gular organization and military rule, which ireventod General Qucaada from attacking Puerto Principe, which he could undoubtedly lapture if he could control his force so as to )riog them to act on a general plan. Thero aro many negroes among the insur? gents, most of them from tho towns, or who rere previously free. Tho plantations have all itopped work, jut the slaves have either gone ato the towiiL to seek protection, or have tied nto tho woods, whero they remain. Few or lone of this class of tho population side with he Spaniards. The war is carried on by the Cubans moro as , guerrilla war than by regular operations. Y hen ever a foi JO of Spanish troops appears inywherc the Cubans scatter from ita front, nd seek by ambuscading behind trees and in he thick woods to annoy the troops and dirai ti? sh their numbers. The great object among ho insurgents in these encounters is to get told of tho musket or knapsack of every ono hey can wouud or kill. In this they will run xtraordinary risks, three or (bar running out rom tho bush at every Spaniard who fal's. [he Spanish troops goner illy behave well in hese ambuscade encounters, and whenever orced to halt or form during their march, will oundly abuse their unseen foos, styliug them oward*. and calling upon them to come out of heir hiding places and show themselves. The feoliug among the ?Spaniards is very bit? er indeed. They formed almost entirely tho rading population of the country, and every ross road and country villago was occupied rit h their s.iops. These arc now abandoned rherover tho insurgents have appeared, and heir owners have withdrawn to points held by be troops. Thus the country is hare of go jds. Lt first a lenient policy towards the prisoners re railed, but tho spanish volunteers have 10 y become so violent that they shoot nearly 11 they capture, ca"::.'" tQern leaders. At the imelwas with thc insurgents thoy had not ?2y prisoners, but the feeling in favor f retaliation was uecomiug Very strong. No regular civil government exists in thc istricts held hy the insurgents, and no formal ttempt h ts yet been mado to organize one. n the Central Department General Quesada'B uthority is respected, while in lue East Genc il C?spedes is looked upon as the leader. 'here is li tie communication between tho everal departments and no concert of action. 'he ouly tiitn seems to bc war with tho Spau ird, ihe itisuruciiis in the Villa Clara Dis rict hold their organisation distinct from bose ol C?spedes and Quesada. From tho insurgent camp around Puerto 'riucipo we rude through Cisgo de Avila, Espi itu Santo, Villa Clara and Macagua to Colon, rhcro we sold our horses and took the cars for lavana. Wherever WO stopped amoug tho out)try people tho samo ieeling agaiust the Ipania'rds and confidence that their rule is ap ?oach?ng it* end prevailed, whilom the towns he Spaiiieh traders, armed and organized by he government, entertain tho most violent eelings against tho '. abana. No attempt was uado to ii jute us by either party when we eu ountoied diem, altltoush both my companion .nd myself were searched on so."eral occasions. Tho Spaniards were always distrustful of us : mt tho insurgents ?ti every instance gave us ;ood treatment because we were Americans. It is my belitt ttiit the insurrection cannot ie put down, and that it will continuo to spread intil it involves th<; whole island ; but to take he lortilicd ports and towns the insurgents ?eod belter arms a.id organization thau they low possess. -Thc *alt Lake City papers announce the irrival at Ogden of "the track-layers of the Juion Pacific Railroad.

WHAT THE PLANTERS HAVE TO SAT ON THE RICE TIERCE Q VESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. I have jost seen the card of Messrs. T. Tup? per & Sons, and others, purchasers of rice, addressed to the rice factors of Charleston, in which they have agreed or combined to discon? tinue, after tho first of May, the usual charge for the tierces in which the rice is held for market. Your comment upon this suggestion is an approval or endorsement, as calculated to remove "another clog from the wheels of the commerce of the State." From the high char? acter cf the gentlemen signing this agree? ment, I take it for granted they are not only earnest but honest in their convictions, and that they sincerely desire the prosperity of the planters of the State, as well aa the merchants of the City of Charleston. Their suggestion is, however, a grave innovation upon a conven? tional usago mach more aged and time-hon? ored than either of tho gentlemen who con? jointly undertake to advise tho factors as to the interest - of their customers. The planter will be the first to feel the effect of thia innovation or repudiation of an old and well established custom, and the demonstra? tion is by no means clear that he will receive the proposed additional compensation for hts grain in lieu of the price of the tierce. Expe? rience will settle this point, but then it will bo too late for the planter to demur. It will not bi considered impertinent, therefore, on behalf 01 thc planters, if they should assume to in? struct their factors on this and other points affecting themselves directly if not vitally, rather than submit to the dictatio . of a third party. Disclaiming any disposition to cavil or criticise unfairly tho opinions of those who justly claim to be "alive to the interests of the city, ' wo simply ask, now that that the time has arrived "for the removal of clogs," that all the points of difference between buyer and seller be fully and fairly ventilated, and that tho interest of the planter receive that consideration to which he is justly entitled. Testimony is scarce? ly necessary to vorify the losses to which tho rico filanter is subject- Furt, in the way of samp ing. Tho seller takes his pounds, quarts, or more, to his office for inspection. Second, the buyers or proposed purchasers each do ditto. Then comes the cooper, almost invariably pro? vided with bag or bucket; he takes enough to make an easy fit of the heading, which has to be replaced after sampling. How much, no one seems to seo or care lo see, for I myself have witnessed tho stealing (with buyer and Belier within ton feet) of at least eight to ten pounds, and upon bringing the matter to his notice the factor quietly informed me that it could not be prevented, and that really in tbe aggregate it was too small to mike a fuss about; that custom sanctioned it, and no one individually could oppose it without odium. It might justly be considered picayunisn to collect all of the samples thus taken and stored away for comparison, to be restored to their owners. Yet m the aggregate they act cally do support tbe tables of very many families. But let us fellow up the programme. The rice ts sold, and tho cooper is again brought into requisition to overhaul and tighteu up the tierces for reshipment. Whether it be f mnd accessary or not, a charge is always mido for each tierce in every lot ot rice put on tho mar? ket. No allowance is made for those requiring ao cooperage, and yet I have known at least three-fourths o' a parcel to pass to the buyer 8 nrithout a nail being driven or a hoop adjusted, ind the planter charged the full price for ordi? nary cooperage. Is this right or wrong? Should custom or usage justify it if wrong ? Wo come now to tho most important charactor, tho woigh-ma8tor. Ho is, we believe, a sworn jfficer, and unimpeachable. He finds a tierce neighing 750 pounds, and.openly registers it 716 -four pounds short. Each and every tierce re? lives tho same deduction, and for this tret bo s sustained by the law of usage. The merchant ;laims it os his rightful perquisite, and his :laim is sanctioned by the Chamber of Com 7?ffifo*Irt!Bra^^ Jfh'Yru?UMS: sounds of clean rico out of every hundred ?crees, and gives it to the merchant, without ?thor consideration than thc graco of purchas ng ; and tho factor, or planter's agent, is coolly lomtod to the "liberal facilities of railroads md steamboats for the extension of tho trade if the city," as an inducement to acquiesce in ho suggestion to abolish tho payment or the tierces in which the rice 'is sold. 10 it BO. "Let us havo ncace." But I 011 you, gentlemen, if you begin with inno? vions, sweep clean. I have intimated where ou may strike for planter aa well as merchant -for a large portion of tho Stole, as well as for ho City of Charleston. Tho planter makes lotbing on tho sale of his barrels, for they aro ?barged to tbe rico buyer at mill prices. Thc nillcr alone makes a profit, and be might just 8 reasonably expect to bo paid by the increas? ed price for tho grain, with the tierce thrown n, as tho planter. The practical result will be igainst tho planter, at the rate of $1 50 for ivery tierce ho ?ends to market. If noccBsary or Charleston to conform to the usages of ither largo cities or business centres, by all nean s do BO; but repndi tte at once, with mt Uscrimination, all costoms which aro unjust, [he poor planter will again be rich. For the >roeoct he may be obliged to pay tribute to Charleston for the accommodation (?) he re? lives to work his lands, in advances at twen y-five to thirty per cont, interest, with two .nd-a-half per cent, added for purchasing ilantation supplies, ?tc., &c; but just so soon as bese obligations are cancelled and agriculture s recuperated, will there bc a chango in tho iresont system of factorage. Tho expenses if the rice planter aro more than the crop rill bear, even at present pt ices. The Northern ind Western markets will be open to tho plant? er as well as the merchant, and the local taxes md commercial regulations of Charleston, ur - ess modified, may ultimately provo the clog to 1er prosperity. She is more dependent upon be State than tho State upon her, whother ho realizes the fact or not; but as a commou realth their obligations are mutual and recip ocal, and Ibo success of agriculture will iusure ommercial prosperity. Ail wc ask is fair play or both country and city. TIPE-WATEB. THE RADICAL REBELLION. What thc South Carolina Delegation in Congress Think of the indignation Doings at Columbia-Une of the "ins" Kcads a Lecture to thc Disconsolate "Outs." The editor of the South Carolina Republican, laving taken caro to provide himself in good eason with a comfortable berth in the office f the Secretary of the Senate at Washington, ? righteously wroth at the howl of rage nd disappointment recently set up (somewhat rematurely, as he says,) by the hungry crew f his Republican brethren at the Stat*Capital. ti qllG?? ?rom bis iast 'letter to his paper: Our Congressional delegation were some mat surprised at tho sudden and excited ction at the meetings held in Columbia and !harle8ton. The delegatiou was not aware hat any appointments had been definitely ettlod. The several members of tho delega iou have doubtless made up their minds as to ho persons whom they will individually sup ort, and some of these persons will unques ionably receive some of the positions. But hat a full slate is made up is not true, even at he date thal I write. I he members of thc delegatiou naturally bject to tho language of the call for these iee tings, and tho tone of tho resolutions doptcd. They say they would very gladly tave received a rcspecttul expression of the pinions and wishes of their constituents, and Yould have given it due heed. They would be dad, too, if, when (he goutlemcn gathered in hose meetings had stated to whom they wire ipposed, they had also recommended tho indi 'lduala to whom they wished tho appointments ;ivcn. Tho resolutions adopted simply de louuco thc delegation and what they ?are sup loscd to bj aboiir to do. They can bo guided cry little by such expressions. They aro in vecipt of scores of lotters, too, from individu? els applying for office, denouncing every person lupposed to bo a candidate for tho same office, [bey can but feel contempt for those whe trite them; such persons arc simuly trying to cet favor for themselves by wholesale abuso of )there, and the attempt proves thom to be both nean and foolish. No man will gain anything >f a sound Republican by slandering others. Some have already impaii cd thoir chances for tppuintment by writing letters full of scurril nis attacks on other candidates. Thus tho Congressional delegation of South 'arolina think and say. They say that they lo not expect to please all. They will try tb satisfy thc majority and to make good appoint? ments. We sun1' see iu duo time what they lo, expressing earnestly our hope and expeeta .lou that they will give" no place to any but .inceic, trusty and thorough Republicans.:.^=tj AEFAUtS IN TSE STATE.

Its depressing influences are especially unfavorable to invalide, and thousands of persons with feeble constitutions, who have borne tbe win? ter bravely, break down in the lirst month of spring. Thc variations of temperature aud cold east winds are a serious trial to the dyspeptic and bilious, whose symptoms they invariably aggravate. Inter? mittent fever is also rife wherever there ie evclvable poison in the water or thc soil. To enable the sys? tem to combat these evils, there is nothing like a cood vegetable tonic, and among ibis class of me di? ttoes UOsTETTbR'3 STOMACH BITTERS stand supreme. Medical men prescribe it iu preference to any of the tonic preparaUons of the pharmacopoeia. They arc aware that the ordinary tinctures and ex? tracts are all b.scd upon cheap alcohol, which is sur? charged with an acrid essential oi', and absolutely poisonous. 3 hey know, on thc other band, that the reclined essence of the finest rye grown in this country is thc solo spirituous ingredient of HOS TETTER'S" BITTERS, and that lUc vegetable me? dicinal elements of which lt is composed aie of rare cilica.-y. Hence, lt has the confidence ot physicians aud rinds its way into hospitals where no other pro? prietary medicine is sanctioned. A course of the BITTERS is especially recom? mended to persons of delicate habits, of both sexes, at ibis season. In the fever and ague districts of tho West and south, quinine has been almost univer? sally discarded as a chologogue, and this invaluable antidote to malarious disorders ad spiel in its stead. A doublo gain is realized by the change; for thc Bitters, unlike that dangerous alkaloid, arc agreeable to the palate, and their curative effect is much more permanent, n*c 0 March 2?
