GREAT POLITICAL EXCITEMENT TN MADRID-AN OUTBREAK FEARED-A SPANISH NAVAL COM? MISSION TO VISIT THE UNITED STATES TO PUR? CHASE MONITORS. MADRID, April 9. -The government is about to send a naval commission to New York to buy monitors for Cubs. The proposition to establish a triumvirate, has been abandoned. It met with many prac? tical objections, the most formidable of which was that any change in the form of administra? tion would tend to delay the settlement of the financial dificultios of the country. MADRID, April 9.-Evening.-Much political excitement exists in this city, and apprehen? sions are entertained that the exasperation of party feeling will result in an outbreak. The police and military authorities are taking every pr cou ut ion to prevent disorder. The appointment of General Caballero de Boda lo the Captain-Generalship of Cuba has not been finally determined upon by the Provi? sional Government; but should General de Roda be retained in his command in this coun? try, Don Isqulrdo will probably succeed Cap? tain-General Dulce. Addition ti supplies of artillery and cavalry are demanded tor tho suppression of tho rebel? lion in Cuba._* BfOOItY WORK IN HAVANA. HAVANA, April 10.-Loon and Median were garroted to-day in the presence of a vast crowd. Loon cried-'Vi va Io dependencia." The crowd uttered seditious eries and tho guard fired, killing ?ix and seriously wounding many others. SPAJRKS IJ'MOM THJB WIRES. The ure in tho Nevada gold mines is still j raging.

COX UMBI A., Newspaper Changes-Tiio Broad River Bridge-What the Legislature Cost Last Session-The memoirs or Long? street's Corns-The South Carolina Pen? itentiary. [FROM OUR BPECI.UL, CORRESPONDENT.} COLUMBIA, S. C.*, April 9.^-To-day is warm and very windy, clouds of duBt swooping through the streets, Ailing everybody's .eyes that ventures oat. Our little city cannot af? ford a water cart, and we expect to bo tor? mented with dirty Unen all summer. 0. P. Pelham will re-establish tbo "South? ern Guardian" by the first of May. It well conducted it certainly ought to succeed, as a good daily is needed. The Phoenix has broken down every paper commenogfl in opposition to it sinco the war, and it would have succumbed itself did it not have tho job of State printing for two years. The bridge over Broad River, about two miles above Columbia, is being rebuilt tinder the management of Alexander T. Lee, Esq. It is badly needed, as all the crossing from the Richland to the Lexington side has been done in flats since the war. Instead of entire gran? ito piers as before, hollow iron columns are fixed by pivota to a granito foundation reaching just to the level of low water. It will be a pretty and economical pieoe of engineering. A few members of the Legislature are still to be seen about the stree ts. They say they are afraid to go home, but we think they are after some berth in the way of census-taking, enrolling militia, &c. The expenses of the legislature for the last term is put down at about $150,000, exolusive of standard printing. This is th e amount in greenbacks disbursed to members. We are in unison with the public sentiment in saying we have been satiated with war books, especially those written by men of such stripe as Pollard. However, we here note a work which will be a distinguished exception. Gen? eral E. P. Alexander will soon have ready for the press, -'Memoirs of Longstreet's Corps." lt will be a precious record to the former-mem? bers of that gallant command and their rela? tives, many of whom wero South Carolinians. The work will contain ia fall the official state? ment of every engagement, and the names of tho killed and wounded. These statements will he woven together in an interesting man? aor, home timo ago, each corps commander , iras requested by Qonor.il ll. E. Lee to write a ?istory of his own corps; in the case of Gene .al Longstreet, he requested General Alcxan ler to undertake his part, which he did, aud 1 t will be well done. General Alexander is a listinguished graduate of West Point, a olear ' iud facile writer, and is now a professor in the Jn i ver ei ty of South Carolina. He is a brother i )f the well koowa army correspondent, ,'P. W. 1 L" On the other band, his work will bs au- ! 'beatie; he was chief of artillery ia Long? street's Corps, and we are informed he was not inly the maia adviser of General Longstreet, . mi his views were sought by General Lee him ?elf. No decisions have yet been rendered in tho Supreme Court. We paid a very interesting visit to-day to ;he penitentiary. There are t won ty-threo 1 .vhite convicts, two hundred and thirty-nine 1 iolored convicts. Total, two hundred and sixty ;wo. You will notice the tremendous pro lominance of colored convicts; and three of :he white ones are discharged United S.tatos soldiers. General Stoibrand is not as popular imong the convicts as Major T. B. Lee; he Feeds them as well, bat works them harder, yet we must confess Gouaral S. appears to un? derstand his business, and every thing is car? ried on economically. AU their clothing is made up and manufactured by themselves, as ilso their shoes. There is also a well kept garden, a blacksmith shop, a machine shop, a ?rist mill and a tin shop. The convicts that ire not employed in any of these departments work on the building and ia the quarry, which is in the enclosure, and from which all the granite for the building is obtained. There ire tweuty-seven guards-fifi eeo negroes and twelve whites. All these whites are discharg? ed United States soldiers. Thomas Dolan, sentenced to two years for shooting a policeman in Charleston, was pardoned to-day by the Governor. HALIFAX. THIS ABBEVILLE ENLISTMENTS. The Charleston Newt and Governor Scott. [From the Abbeville Press, April 9.1 Ia another column we publieh an editorial Prom the CHARLESTON NEWS with regard to the Organization of a negro company in Ab jeville, ko whiob wo alluded in our butt issue; and also the correspondence which the article hts elicited between George W. Williams, a mer? chant of Charleston, and Governor Scott. In a matter wbioh BO nearly concerns us, and which affects every interest of person and pro? perty, we would be something more or less 1 than human, if we failed to manifest not mere? ly the instincts of men, bat the partisan feel iags of men whose all was involved in tho dis? cussion, and if we were lacking in sympathy for the gallant advocate, who bas eotered the lists so fearlessly, not only in behalf of the people of Abbeville, but in behalf of all the white people of the State. And thvs, without, roteronco to the faot, whether THE NEWS be right or wrong-whether it be correct ia the ? facts which it assumes, or be sustained ia the i ti tare ii cou which it deduces, But ctn the < facts be denied? Caa the conclusions be : gaiosayed ? Let us consider them in order. ! Admit the correctness of tho tao ts which THE NEWS assaau-s, and will they not justify ali ot its conclusions and sustain all of its allega? tions. What are those faots aa alleged? J hat ia a time of profound peace, when all classes of om* people, both white and black, wers quietly ongatfod in their respective avocations, arid when oar lumera especially were carrying out the contracts for the year whiob they had made with their black laborers, ind with more than common enetgy. with all tho appliances of art, and with a double inf onion of the spirit of agrioaltuxal enterprise, were itriviog with might aud mam to develope our material pros? perity, suddeuly, without any note of waraiag, with nothing to Justify, nay, not ovon to sug? gest such a thing, one who professes to be an agent oe tbe Governor, and to bear hie high commission RB the cap? tain of tbe company to ba raised, offer? to the black laboring population mHfttnftH "as soldiers, at .sixteen dollar? per month es oh, with clothing, rations and odunation" iucreased pay and tho perquisite? and enjoy? ments of a lifo of leisure. Can any ono, doubt' for ooo moment as to tho effect of snob an offer, presented to an ignorant sod excitable population-neturally averse to .work, and easily captivated by every pissing illusion? , Ino gol don gatos of a new El Dorado seomod suddenly opened to their eyes. Down they dropped "tbe shovel and tbe boo," and came trooping up to the villoge, as "doves to their windows." The fields were nigleoted-tho plough utood idly in tho furrow. This ono lost his oar ri ago-dri vor, that ono his ho UH o servant, and another his best field-hand. In a few days tho lists aro filled-a company of sixty-five blacks are enrolled, and "the cry is still they come." Cokesbury alone sends up a detachment of twenty men on a single day. Keep tho door of admission open, and every effective black laborer would don the uniform of a soldier-and reversing the picture of tho ancient prophet, matead of ploughshares wo would have swords and spears for pruning hooks. And what is tho avowed motivo-tho ostensible pretext for this military display this exhibition of " the pride, pomp and cir? cumstance of glorious war?" Forsooth " to regulate tho county"-not merely to preservo tbe peace in the future, but to parish delin? quencies ia tbe past. Law is to be enforced by the bayonet aaa tho purity of tho franchise protected by the breech-loader. Well did the officer desist ; controlled by the representa? tions of influential geutlemeu who appealed to his good sense as a man, and his self interest as a citizen. To bavo done otherwise, and to havo gone on, as he began, would have given us " uot peace, but a sword." It would have disorganized labor, and prostrated industry ; produced insubordinat ion on one side, and irri? tation on the other ; inflamed the passions of race, aud brought on internecine strife, rapi?o and violeuco-all and singular the evils which it was ostensibly designed to prevent. Oan these conclusions be gainstiyed ? Caa any ono doubt ? Has Governor Soott denied, or caa he doubt, that suoh would be the natural aud ne? cessary results of attempting to rule the white people of the State by companies ot negro mi? litia? ir Tm NEWS thea be Justified in the con? clusions which tt draws from its premisos, ia what respect has it erred io the Btatemeut of the facts which make up the basis of its argu? ment ? What is the point of controversy be? tween the Governor and the editor ? The facts are as we have above stated t hom, and to that extent, they Justify the allegations of THE NEWS. But tho Governor domes that he gave any authority for the organization of a negro company, and intimates that tho act of the officer io Abbeville coo tem plated nothing moro than a legitimate enrolla,ont of all our citizens under the recent law of the Legislature for the organization of the militia. Upon the Sliest ion of authority-whether the officer ia bbeville had aoy authority at all, or whether he abused it-we are willing to accept the statement of Governor Bcott, so far as he him? self is concerned. Whether he had a commis? sion from the Adjutant-General, we have no meaos of verification, as no written authoiity was exhibited. It is sufficient for our purpose that the officer claimed to have authority from the Governor. Authority I Authority to do what? To enroll all citizens, black and white, nader the late act of the Legislature. Nothing of all this I-bat to organizo a black company for immediate service, with proffer of high wages, rations, clothing aaa education-to organize a regular "s. anding army" on a small scale to drag the refractory into obedi? ence-to preserve, in due equilibrium, the scales of even-handed justice, and to guard the purity of the ballot box. It is sufficient for our purpose that the officer not only claimed to have the authority of the Governor, but pro? ceeded to its exercise-wielding the wand al? most as effective as "the potent rod of Amraai's sou." The company was raised as if by ea chantmont -like Jonah's gourd or Aladin's pal? ace-and tho strong appeals of some of our in? fluential citizens coala oaly extort from the officer a promise to suspend action until ho could hear from th 3 Governor. Governor Soott has disavowed the aot of ono who pro? fessed to act under his authority. Here we are willing to lot tho matter rest. We have stated the facts, so far as wo know them, and we are willing to allow others to draw their own con? clusions. JtrtMws* Aron* tbe ?enrolling om t er. Guffin, the enrolling officer, writes the fol? lowing lotter to the Abbeville Press: I hope you will indulge me by inserting this card in your paper. I see a correspondence ia tbe Columbia Fhcouix between his Excellency R. K. bcott and Mr. Williams, relative to the organization of the militia. I receivod in? structions from the Aojutaot-Genezal to raise a company. I first tried to raise a white com? pany, but never eur died a single white man. There was only one alternative left, and that was to cordi colored mea, which I sa v at once would so disorganize labor as to make it almost impossible to make a crop in this country. I wrote immediately to Governor bcott telling bim my tears organizing a colored company, and in reply received a letter from his Excellency B. K. Scott, saying he did not intend for me to commence enrolling at once. And instructed nie to notify all those wishing to enroll them? selves in the militia, that for the present the enrollment will ho suspended; advise the labor? ers to devote themselves to their employment, and waste no time in looking for military or? ganizations. 1 can safely say if the civil laws are enforced by the officers now in office, tho oitizens of Abbeville need never fear the pres? ence of an armed foroe again. But when a magistrate is told to his face that if he had issued a warrant for the arrest of certain parties for a violation of tbe peace, that neither ho nor his constable could arrest them, (and I know they have not been arrested,) I will just ask the good law-abiding citizens, if the civil law fails to reaoh those oases, muet we submit and lot them go at large, a terror to the country? Respectfully, LEM. L. G?BFTN. THE BURNING OE MADISON, GA. The Georgia papers bring us the terrible de? tails of the great fire ia Madison, on Thurs? day night, already briefly noticed by tele? graph : Accounts as to its origin are conflicting; some say that it was accidental, while others think that A was the work of some devilish incendiary. The fire originated in the furni? ture store of Mr. Albert Shaw, about 9 o'olook at night, and then raged with the utmost fury until half-past 12 or 1 o'clock, destroying by this time some twenty-five or thirty stores and two or threo dwelling houses. The courthouse and hotel escaped. Robinson's carnage repos? itory, G. N. Dexter's livery stable and carriage establishment, hod the postoffice aro the only buildings left on tbe public square. The fol? lowing is a list of bouses destroyed by the fire : Furniture store of Albert Shaw; Sirs Mus tin's millinery establishment; Child's book store ; dry goods store of William Pea? cock; furniture store of Sebastian Shaw; Rich? ter St Bro.'s grocery; tbe extensivo dry goods and grocery establishment of J. A. Broughton; bar and billiard saloon of T. J. Stallings: Wm. A. Bennett's family grocery store; small shop between Bennett and Huff & Camp's establish? ment; B. A. Booth's grocery; B. N. Booth's grocery; the Town Hall was entirely consum? ed; the building and the confectionery store of 0. L. Fielding; tbe three stores of O. Campbell, the largest of which was occupied by Messrs. Mo Hoar y Sc Sob; the brick store of E. H. Cohen St Co.; drug store occupied by Messrs. C. H. Andrews Sc Co. ; the briok store owned and oc? cupied by J. R. High St Co.; dry goods and grocery store t coupled by Messrs. Vason Sc Hillsman; drugstore occupied by Colonel Na? poleon Atkinson; dry goods establishment ot J. W? St W. H. Boardin; dry goods store occu? pied by Asher Levy; Ma some Hall building, occupied by C. B. Atkinson as a dry goods aud giocery store; Harmon Martin's drinking salodn; Milton Mustia'? restaurant; Dr. Hitch? cock's drug store; P. R. Thomasou's dry goods, grocery store and dwelling, and A. 8. Huff's tin shop aod dwelling. The business portion of Madison, like nearly all the country towns of a similar size in tho State, is built lo the shape of a hollow square, ia the centre of which stood the Courthouse, and lining the four sides were nearly all . the Stores which the town contained. Although the first ?lana given had the effect of sam? mwning almost th? entire male population of tho place to tbe senne of danger, yet having no ure department to aid them, and no other facilities for extinguishing the flames, their exertions, though described as almost super human, were without avail, and the fire steadi? ly sod with , great rapidity advanced OD its march of destruction. Tbs *eene at this time is described as fearful beyond description. The square was filled with s mass of men, women, and children, who, turned suddenly ont sf their homes, stood and witnessed the des truction of their property, sud yet were utterly , powerless to prevent .t. The breaking ont of the, fire wa? so sudden, that scarcely anything waa saved from the hon???, s-nd what was taken away waa princi? pally furniture, which was injured so much lu the removal as to render it of hut little ocr vico. The flauios aft.;r destroy ifit| t*esnty-nino Btoroa (every one in the fcowo ?xcept one,) together with tho office of thff Farm. Jonrnal and a large number of private residences, were finally subdued, moro from a want of some? thing to prey on, than from any other cause. Tho loBS may be safely estimated at $200,000. The stocks of gooda wore generally partially insured. Tho worst feature of the whole busi? ness is that during the fire nearly every pound of provisions in tho town was ?ohsumed: what escaped is wholly insufficient! to supply the wants of tho people, and th -y are saul to be actually suffering for bread.

Prior, who for forty yours has been an esteemed practitioner of medicine in that com? munity. An inquest was held by Thomas MoFeely, magistrate acting coroner, on the 2d inst., at Enfield plantation, on Peedee, over the body of David Wilson, (colored,) found.,drowned in Squirrel Creek. Verdict, accidental drowning while crossing from Peedee to Waccamaw in a canoe. Messrs. H. G. Loaneond A. Isear, and Sam Beaufort, colored, while crossing Peedee River on their return from the jury of inquest, narrowly escaped drowning, the boat (a small canoe) having accidentally capsized. Assis? tance was promptly rendered, and they were fortunately rescued almost exhausted. Tho Times says: "On Saturday night, be? tween twelve and one o'clock, our citizens were aroused hy the ringing of the -Jarra bell, and it was eoon discovered that the store of Messrs. Risley, Heston & Bpwland * Sa on fire. The fire proceeded from the interior of tho brick building, in which a Tot7? bay was clorad. It had donstlesR been buming tor somo time, and the opinion prevails' that lt was the work of an incendiary, as not tbe slightest olue as to ita ongin can otherwise be ob? tained. To the prompt exertions of our firemen are due the safety of the whole brick range, whioh appeared to be in imminent danger, as the flames had already involved the partition of the adjoining store, in whioh wa? contained dry goods and other combustible material; but beyond tho building in which it originated, very little damage was done. The goods of tho store, were injured by the smoko and water, but wo understand everything was fully insured." Anderson.

TO THC EDIT OB OP THE NEWS. The Act of the Legislature of December 13, 1850, in reference to Ute Municipal Government of Charles? ton, provides as follows : "SEO. 2 Tho Mayor, and not less than twelve Al? dermen, aha ll he a quorum for the imposition of taxes and the appropriation of money." I commend the above to Mr. G. W. CLARK, Acting Mayor, and Mr. J. D. GEDDINGS, Acting AL dorman, as they seek to excuse tb eir lawless efforts to keep the Republican Mayor and Aldermen elect out of office, by affecting a sensitive "regard for law." These gentlemen have recently aided in mak? ing appropriations out of tho City Treasury with a Board consisting, all told, of tho Mayor and only ELEVEN Aldermen. Mr. CLARK ls the well known Democratic aspirant for the Customhouse, and Mr. GEDDINGS ls the Democratic candidate-slightly disguised-for io-appolntment as Assistant Treas? urer of the United Statee; and they have doubtless been so busy in getting up mernot tale in their be? half, signed by violent Democrats and bogus Repub? licans, that this law bas escaped their attention.

One month's business being greater than that dene by the largest and wealthiest Life Insurance Compa? nies in the United States during the entire fl rat (rear of their existence. The Association was first started by the most wealthy and Influential citizens of St. Louis, for tho purpose of changing the current of Ufo Insur* moe and Life Insurance capital from th? Bast to the West and South, and as its plan is liberal and lust to every section, State and district, the wealthy men of the West and Sou' h generally are insuring their lives in lt, to the exclusion of other companies.
