A Spanish man-of-war has brought to this port the brig Mary Lowell, from Nae vitas whither she was taken,by the Andalusia, after her capture. The Andalusia subsequently left Nupvitas on a cruise to intercept rebel expedi? tions. The commander of the Andalusia, in a oomnunioation to tho Captain-General, giving an account of the capture of the brig, affirms that he acted carefully in accordance with in? ternational law. The value of the carpo of the Mary Lowell is estimated at $200,000, consist? ing of oannon, small arms, ammunition, and other war material. The expedition was com? manded by Costillou8. The Spanish war steamet Guadeona arrived to-day from Nassau. She left another Spanish war vessel to watch the waters of Nassau. A detachment of troops, under Oeneral Esco? lante, has gone to Oienfuegos. Additional troops have been sent to Cardenas, Sagua and Remedios. A meeting of planters was held at the palace to-night, at the request of General Dulco, to discuss and plan a system of rural police, to be established throughout the island: for the protection of plantations. News has been received of a heavy battle between the troops and insurgents in the cen? tral department, on the road from Remedios to Moran. The Spanish forces are commanded by General Puollo. No complete reports of the battle has been made, and the result is not known, but the Spaniards claim that 80) rebels are killed. SPORTING NJEWS. THE MOBILE Bi CES-LAST DAY.

Address Reformation, box N<. 101, Times Of? fice. WASHINGTON NEWS ANJJ GOSSIP. A Mississippi Delegation a? trae Waite Houle-Unsatisfactory Interview with tue President. The 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? tion present were Colonel L. W. Perce. A. My Satt, General B. B. Eggleston, William H. ribbs, Major E. J. Castollo, A. Alderson. ?)r. C. A. Foster, Major J. G. Jewell, Kev. Dr. T. W. Stinger, Colonel C. P. E. Johnson, Colonel ' J. lt. Webster, J. A. Jamison and General H. W. Barry. They were introduced individually, by Colonel L. W. Perce. After tho introduction Col. Perce addressed tho President briefly, and stated that they had called upon him to con? gratulate him upon bis election and to ask his assistance in passing the Mississippi bill now before Congress. Tho President remarked that bo had seen the bill reported, but he did not know in what Bbape it would pass Congress. Ho had couveised with at least three of the Reconstruction Committee upon the subject, and he did not think it likely that the bill would be passed in a form to bring peace to Missis? sippi. Still Congress had all the evidence on the subject before them. Colonel Perce ex? pressed a confidence in the wisdom of Con? gress. The President said there was no way tor 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 Stale seemed to bo to give the Gov? ernor of the State, who is also the military commander, time to appoint all the officers un? der the recent law ol Congress, then re? submit the constitution to the vote of the people allowing all to vote who are qualified under the Reconstruction acts, and no others, Congress selecting such articles as they deem necessary to be voted on sepa? rately without allowing them to affect the con? stitution as a whole. There were', he said, portions ol the constitution that might be re iected, and perhaps ought to be. Colonel 'erce here suggested and urged that tb? President of the convention, who is authorized by the bill under consideration to appoint the State officers, being better acquainted with the people and their wants, would be better able to make 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. They expressed themselves when away from the White House in strong language against President Grant, and even went so far as to wish him in a warmer climate than Washing? ton. Another Visit of Mississippians to the President. A Washington dispatch of the 26th inst, to to the Baltimore Sun says: To-nigbt a company of Mississippians, rep? resenting the Conservative and Republican ele? ments in that State, Judge Simmerell, ex-Gov? ernor Albert G. Brown anl Mr. Watson, of the former, and Judge Jeffords, Captain Fisk and Major Wofford, of the latter, visited President Grant and were introduced by Judge Dent. The interview was exceedingly pleasant and satisfactory. The President thought the bsst 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 objected to by the Conservatives, and that in the me intime the present military commander should control the State. The Memphis and Bl Paso Hallroad General Fremont In the Lobby. The same dispatch says: The House joint resolution granting the right of way to the Memphis and ??1 Paso Rail? road has been lyine* on tue table of the Senate for some time, and Mr. Morton has made fre? quent efforts to get it taken np and passed, but without success. This is the road in which General Fremont is interested, and is not re? garded favorably by the Senate Committee on thc Pacific Railroad, who refused to inolude it in their omnibus bill reported at the last ses? sion, although General Fremont was very per? tinacious in urging it upon them. Since the bili has come over from the House General Fremont has been very constant in his attend? ance on the sessions of the Senate to watoh. To-day, while he sat upon the sofa next to Mr. Howard, that Senator, as the organ of the Pa? cific Railroad Committee, moved to take the Fremont bill from the table and refer it to the committee, which would have been tanta? mount to killing it. Fremont at onoe became very anxious, but appeared considerably re? lieved when the objection of Mr. Morton pre? vented the consideration of Mr. Howard's motion. FAILING IN LOVE. [From Temple Bar.] This early love, also, is fruitful of miseries through its inexperience. Under ordinary cir? cumstances* twr> young people of opposite sexes and the same age, are sure to fall in love with each other if they are left much together. It is the most natural method of imparting a new interest to the ordinary business of taking walks to churoh and back, of spending the eve? ning, and so forth. It is so very quiet and simple a revolution that the young people are only awakened to its presence by some little incident that flashes the truth upon their frightened eyes. Then there in a brief mo? ment of superhuman eostaoy, followed by mutual protestations, vows of constancy, and tearful adjurations to secrecy. Week after week this blissfully disquieting life goes on, and then Edward, turning despairing eyes to? ward her, bids her farewell, and goes off in quest of fame and fortune. Whieh of them shall first find -mt the profound mistake And blunder that lay at the root of alt this fleeting joy ? Whioh of them shall first awake some morning to find a new objeot installed in the ohamber of the affections, which heretofore has osly had an insufficient and temporary lodger?

THIS WAR IN CUBA. Thc ll evolution aa Seen by an Bye W li? nees-'Condition of thc Insurgente-? Their Policy and Means ot* War. Tho following account of tho condition of things in Cuba is furnished by Ur. Charles Mccormack, who has resided for several years iii the City of Puerto Principe, whore he was employed as rnnnter rasohinist of the Puerto Principe and Nuevitas Railroad. Mr. Mccor? mack having travelled on horseback from the place of his late residence through the heart Of the island to tho first railway station from which he could take tho oars to Havana, and passed through the insurgent and Spanish lines, a distance of moro than ono hundred leagues, during which time ho 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. The long distance he was compelled to travel on horse- . back makes his dates not so late as tho news we have published, but as an inside view of the rc volution it will be found interesting: PERSONAL STATEMENT. The occupation of the line of railroad from Puerto Principe to Nuevitas having left me without employment. I determined to return to th 3 Unite 1 States. I pr o -.ur od the neces? sary papers from Colonel Mena, the Spanish Governor of the city, and started with a com? panion, on horseback, by land, ipr Havana, on the 12th of February last. At that time the native male population, with tho exception of the small children and very old men, had entirely loft the city in con? sequence of the rc vol a tionary movement. The native Spaniards, mostly shopkeepers, had en? rolled themselves in the volunteer corps, and were exceedingly bitter in their hostility to the Cubans. These, with the small number of regular troops in the oity, gave Colonel Uena a force of about 8000 men, well supplied with arms and ammunition and a few. field pieces. There had been a regiment of colored troops in the garrison, but these had nearly all de? serted to the ms urgente, taking their arms with them. The roads leading into tue town were all barricaded by the Spanish troops in the outskirts. Operations against tho insur? gents were confined to au occasional foray of the troops 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 returning to the town. The feeling of the natives of all classes is very decided for tho 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 these were one, if not two, of the Arango's, and one of them had begun negotiations to that effect. For this purpose he had held communication with Colonel Mena, and appointed a day when he would come in unarmed under a flag of truce to confer with bim. It was stated in Principe that Colonel Mona's orders to the squad sent to meet Aran g o were to bring him the corpse of that rebel. The fact was that he was shot as soon as he approached the suburbs of the town, and tho remains were hacked and disfigured after death. This event stopped en? tirely the feeling in favor of accepting the um nesty and reforms among the Cubans. The insurgent force gathered round Puerto Principe amounts to about 7000 men, and I was informed that 8000 more were holding the line of railway between that city and Nuevitas. They a?e very ' enthusiastic in the cause, but are badly armed and ill supplied with ammuni? tion. Their o Ay cannon are a few pieces of iron pipe well plugged and bound round with banded strips of the hard woods of the coun? try. Every available instrument was applied to tho making of a weapon for offensive ..pur? poses, and a lance and machete--a short, heavy sword-were the general armament. A few had breech-loading rifles captured from the Spaniards, but the want of the proper ammu? nition rendered tbem of little service. An old fashioned flintlock muzzle-loading musket was the favorite arm, as it could always do service whether there were patent cartridges, percus? sions caps, &c, in camp or not. Whoever had one of these prized it above all the patent-arms to be had. There was but little organization among the forces of the revolution, although General Quesada was recognized as tho chief in com? mand. Every leader had raised and kept to? gether what men he could, and the camp seem? ed more like a gathering of private bands than a regular force. General Quesada was labor? ing to introduce regimental and brigade organ? izations. It was this reason, the absence of regular organization and military rule, which prevented General Quesada from attacking Puerto Principe, which he could undoubtedly capture if he could control his force so as to bring them to act on a general plan. There are many negroes among the insur? gents, most of them from the towns, or who were previously free. The plantations have all. stopped work, but the slaves have either gone into the towns to seek protection, or have fled into the woods, where they remain. Few or none of this class of the population side with the Spaniards. The war is carried on by the Cubans more as a guerrilla war than by re ular operations. Whenever a force of Spanish '...oops appears anywhere the Cubans scatter from its front, and seek by ambuscading behind trees and in the thick woods to annoy the troops and dimin? ish their numbers. The great object among the insurgents in these encounters is to get hold of the musket or knapsack ot every one they can wound or kill. In this they will run extraordinary risks, three or four running out from the bush af every Spaniard who fal s. The Spanish troops generally behave well in these ambuscade encounters, and whenever foroed to halt or form during their march, will roundly abuse their unseen foes, styling them cowards, and caning upon them to come out of their hiding places and show themselves. The feeling among the Spaniards is very bit? ter indeed. They formed almost entirely the trading population of the country, and every cross road and country village was occupied with their shops. These are now abandoned wherever the insurgents have appeared, and their owners have withdrawn to points held by the troops. Thus the country is bare of go da. At first a lenient policy towards the prisoners pre railed, but I the dpaniah volunteers bave no ?y become so violent that they shoot nearly all they Capture, calling them leaders. A the time I was with the ins argents they had not executed any prisoners, but the feeling in favor of retaliation was becoming very strong. No regular civil government exists in the districts held by tbe insurgents, and no formal attempt h is yet been made to Organize one. In tho Control Department General Quoaada's authority is respected, while in the East Gene? ral C?spedes is looked upon as tbs leader. There is li tie. communication between the several departments and no concert of action. The only aim seems to be war with the Span? iard. The insurgents in the Yilla Clara Dis* iriofc hold their organization distinct from those of C?spedes and Qaesada. From the insurgent camp around Puerto Principo we rode through Cisgo de Avila, Esp?? ritu Santo, Yilla Clara and Macagua to Colon, where we sold our horses and took the oars for Havana. Wherever wo stepped among the country people tbs same feeling against tbs Spaniards and confidence that their rule is ap? proaching its end prevailed, while in the towns the Spanish traders, armed and organiz ?d by the government, entertain tbe most violent feelings against the Cabana. No attempt *as made to injure no by either party when ?ve en? countered them, although both my companion and myself were searched on se <rer*l occaaio is. The Spaniards were always distrustful ot us : bat the insurgents in every instance gave ne good treatment because we were Americans. It ls my belief that the insurrection cannot be put down, and that it will continue tc spread until it involves the whole island ; but to take tbe fortified ports and towns the insurgent?? need better arms and organization than they now possess, J ? ? i " ? ?? i- 11 > < -The Salt JLako City papers announce tbs arrival at Ogden of tbs track-layers sf the Union Pacific Railroad.

WHAT TUE PLANTEES TI ATM TO SAT ON TUE RICE TIERCE QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MEWS. I have just seen tho card of Messrs. T. Tap? per & Sons, and others, purchasers of rioo, addressed to the rice factors of Charleston. In which they have agreed or combined to discon? tinue, after the first of May, the usual charge for the tiercos in which tho rico is held for market. Your comment upon this suggestion is an approval or endorsement, as calculated td remove "another clog from the wheels of the commerce of the Btato." FkOm tue high char? acter cf the gentlemen signing thin agree? ment, I take it for granted they are not only earnest but honest in their convictions, and that thoy sincerely desire the prosperity of the planters of the Btate, as welles the merchants of the City of Charl os ton. Their suggestion is, however, a grave innovation upon a conven? tional usage muoh more aged aud time-hon? ored than either of the gentlemen who con? jointly undertake to advise tho factors as to the iuterests of their custsrears. The planter will be the first to feel the effect of this innovation or repudia lion of an old find well established custom, and the demonstra? tion is by no means clear that he will receive tho proposed additional compensation for his grain in lieu ef the price of the tierce. Expe? rience will settle this point, but then it will be too late for the planter to demur. It will not be considered impertinent, therefore, on behalf o r the 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 dicta fio., of a third party. Disclaiming any disposition to cavil or criticise unfairly tho opinions of thoao who justly claim to be "alive to tho interests of the city, ' we simply ask, now that that the time-has arrived "for the removal of dogs," that all the Soints of difference between buy or and seller be illy and fairly ventilated, and that tho interest of tho planter receive that consideration to which he is justly entitled. Testimony is scarce? ly necessary to verify the losses to which the rice {ilanter is subject- First, in the way of samp iug. The seller takes his pounds, quarts, or more, to his office for inspection. Second, the buyers or proposed purchasers eaou do ditto. Then comes the cooper, almost invariably pro? vided with bag or buoket; he takes enough to make an easy fit of the heading, which has to be replaced after sampling. How. much, no ODO seems to seo or care to see, for I myself have witnessed the stealing (with bayer and . seller within ten 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 the aggregate it was too small to make a fuss about; that custom sanctioned it, and no one individually could oppose it without odium. It might justly be considered pioayunish to collect all of the samples thus taken and stored away for comparison, to bo restored to their owners. Yet m the aggrogato they actually do support the tables of very many families. Bat let as fellow up the programme. The rice is sold, and tho cooper is ugain brought into requisition to overhaul and tighten up the tierces for reshipment. Whether it be f >und necessary or not, a charge is always made for each tierce in every lot ot rice put on the mar? ket. No allowance is mado for those requiring no cooperage, and yet I havo known at least three-fourths o' a parcel to pass to the buyers without a nail being driven or a hoop adjusted, and the planter charged the full price for ordi? nary cooperage. Is this right or wrong? Should custom or usage justify it if wrong ? We come now to the most important o har ac ter, tho weigh-mastcr. He is, we believo, a sworn officer, and unimpeachable. He. finds a tierce ' weighing 750 pounds, and openly registers it 716 -four pounds short. Each and every tierce re? ceives the same deduction, and' ?>r this trot he. is sustained by the law of usage.- The morchard claims it as his rightful perquisite, and his claim is sanctioned by the Chamber of Com meroe na tx niulnm too Venerable to be quou tioned. lt takes from the planter four hundred pounds of clean rice out of every hundred tierces, and gives it to tho merchant, without other consideration than the grace of purchas? ing ; and the factor, or planter's agent, is coolly pointed to the "liberal facilities of railroads" and steamboats for the extension of the trade of the city," as an inducement to acquiesce in the suggestion to abolish the payment for the tierces in which the rice is sold Be it so. "Lot us have peace." Bat I tell you, gentlemen, if you begin with inno? vations, sweep olean. I nave intimated where you may strike for planter as well as merchant -for a large portion of the State, as well as for the City of Charleston. The planter makes nothing on the sale of his barrels, for they are charged to the rice buyer at mill prices. The miller alone makes a profit, and he might just IB reasonably expect to be paid by the increas? ed price for the grain, with the tierce thrown in, as the planter. The practical result will be against the planter, at the rate of $1 50 for every tierce he sends to market. If necessary tor Charleston to conform to the usages of other large cities or business contros, by all means do so; but repudiite at once, with mt discrimination, all customs whioh are unjust. The poor planter will again be rich. For the present he may be obliged to pay tribute to Charleston for the accommodation (?) he re? ceives to work his lands, in advances at twen? ty-five to thirty per cent, interest, with two and-a-balf per cent, added for purchasing plantation supplies, &c., ftc: but just so soon as these obligations are cancelled and agriculture is recuperated, will there be a ohange in the present system of factorage. The expenses ot the rice planter are more than the orop will bear, evan at present prices. The Northern and Western markets will be open to the plant? er as well as the merchant, and the local taxes and commercial regulations of Charleston, un? less modified, may ultimately prov? the clog to her prosperity. She is more dependent upon tue State than the State upon her, whether she realises the fact or not; oat as a common? wealth their obligations are mutual and recip? rocal, and the success of agriculture will insure commercial prosperity. All we ask is fair play for both country and oity. TIDE-WATEB. -1 I. s>n t, ? - THE RADICAL REBELLION. "What ?Jae South Carolina Delegation, lia Congress TnlnU ot tue Indignation Doing* at Columbia. -One of th? ?Ins" Heads a Lecture to tine Disconsolate '?Owts.? The editor of the South Carolina Republican, having taken caro to provide himself in good season with a comfortable berth in the office of the Secretary of the Senate at Washington, is righteously wroth at the howl of rage and disappointment recently set up (somewhat prematurely, as he says,) by the hungry crew of his Republican brethren at the State Capital. We quote from his last letter to his paper: Our Congressional delegation were some? what surprised at the sudden and excited action at tho meetings held in Columbia and Charleston. The delegation was not aware that any appointments had been definitely settled. The several members of the delega? tion have doubtless made up their minds as to the persons whom they, will individually sup. port, ?UK; ?erne of these persons will unques? tionably receive some of the positions. But tbat a tali slate is made up is not true, even at the date tbat I write. he members of the delegation naturally object to tbs language of the oall for these meetings, and the tone of. the resolutions adopted. They say they would very gladly have received a respectful expression of tho opinions and wishes of their constituent*, and would have given it due heed. Thoy would be glad, too, i/, when the gentlemen gathered in those meetings had Stated to whom they were opposed, they bad also recommended the indi? viduals to whom they wished the appointments given. The resolutions adopted simply de? nounce the delegation and what they ara sup? posed to ba about to do. They can be guided very little by such expressions. They aro in receipt of scores of letters, too, from Individu? als applying for office, denouncing every person I supposed to be a candidate for the same office.

Ita depressing influences are especially unfavorable to Invalids, and thousands of per?ons with feeble constitutions, who have borne the win. tor bravely, break down in the first month of spring. The vurlatjons of temperature aud cold east Wieda are a serious trial to the dyspeptic and bilious, whoso symptom? they invariably aggravate. Inter* mit tent fever ls also rife wherever there ls evolvable poison in the water or the soil. To enable the sys? tem to oombat theio evils, there la nothing like a good vegetable tonic, and among thia class of medi? cines HOSTETTBB*8 STOMACH BITTERS stand supreme. Medical men prescribe it in preference to any of the tonio preparations of the pharm wopoia. They am aware that th? ordinary tincture* and ex? tracts are all b"sed upon cheap alcohol, which ls sw* charged with an acrid essential oil, and absolutely poisonous. They know, on the other hand, that the rectified essene* cf thc saeal rye grown in tats country ls the sole spirituous ingredient of HOS TBTTBR'? BtTTEBS, and that (he vegetable me? dicinal elementa of which it la composed a-a of rare eaceoy. Hence, lt has the ceuudence et physicians, ' and Ands ita way into hospitals where no other pro? prietary medicine ls sanctioned.'

Vrcmix aimost naiver* sally discarded as a oholcgogue, and thin in vatua hie ' antidote to malarious disorders ad pto 1 IQ its stead. A double gain is realized by the change, for the Bitters, unlike that dangerous alkaloid, are agreeable to the palate, and their curative effeot ls much more permanent, DAG 6 March 27 Jttarieu.
