THE FIGHTING IN CUBA. j WASZOKGTOH, May SS.-News has been re? wired direct from <3ea pedes by Cubans in the I c ity confirming fairy the deleat of the Span is h ' foroea in att*mphntr to open the railroad from Nneritae to Puerto Principe. The date and P channel of the raoeipt ia kept secret for pruden? tial reason*. The loss of toe Spaniards ia set down ai about one thousand in killed and wounded. The Cuban force is stated to have been three thousand five hundred men under (fresada, intrenched on the road, and number? ing about the same as the Spaniards. The fighting was by far the severest which bas taken place during the war. The battle was decided by the arrival of the Marquis of Santa Lu eis with four thousand ftien, a luge number of whom were mounted, bat who, though very poorly armed, made a desperate and successful charge on the flank of the Spaniards. Of five hundred colored troops about four hundred shot ^ their officers and went over to the Cabans. The remainder, who wero neither with the insur? gents noVthe Spaniards, are supposed to have taken to the woods. All the biggage, provis? ion's and ammunition of the Spaniards, carried in ten oars and dragged on tbe rails by oxen, together with tbe dead and chief part of the wounded, were abandoned to the Cubans, who, after the battle, alvan oed six miles to San ML? J el, where they destroyed the barracks and quarters in sight ot the retreating Span? iards. The loss of the Cubans is given at sev? eral hundred, but Cubans here ridicule the idea of its being equal to that of the enemy, who attacked mtrenohments, and failed to car? ry them. The Spanish General Letona is re? ported wounded, but whether m that action is not said. Caepedee and the insurgents feel confident of success. A" vessel since returned - to tho United 8tates, bad a few days before Rifely tended arms and ammunition. !

"No man with Engnab blood in his reins should deal with Mr. Sumner's speech in such a feeble and unmanly strain. America had been deceived into the belief that England would meekly eadure insult and humbly sub? mit to chastisement, and had all but commit? ted itself by a message which.. addressed (0 such a nation as England, could only be answered by a challenge. America remembers the plain f acte of tte late war, and cannot be humbugged into the belief that the bulk af the English people approved of the subjugation of the South. Bach assertions make Americana believe that England is telling bes to escape - from a thrashing. We are never guilty of the meanness of denying the sympathies we enter? tained in order to escape the displeasure of a successful party. The educated classes who sympathized with the South are the nation the masses are only then* followers." SPAJHAH AFFAIRS. MADSXD, May 23. Admiral Topete has boen appointed Minister to the Colonies ad ivierim.

The first bid was one mil? lion, the next a million and a half. The bids then proceeded by han?&eds of thousands to two millions, which was bid by Mr. Paul Blanc on behalf of the bondholders of the road, to which amount he was bruited. C. A. Whitney, representing Chas. Morgan, bid two million and fifty thousand, at which amount it was knock? ddown, after a moment 's pause security five thousand dollars immediately, as a guarantee-and Mr. Whitney announced that it was the intention of Mr. Morgan, who was himself present, to immediately set about ex? tending the road to the Sabine.

Senator Sprague on tbe Cotton Tax and the Condition af the Country. On Wednesday last. Senator Sjrjgue de iveredan address buford the Memphis Com? mercial Convention, from which we take the fellowing extract : I stated in my place in Congress, when the ax was on cotton, that if it was not taken off t would driva Bea island cotton out of tbe narket entirely m a couple of years. I tell rou, my Southern friends, that ir you don't some to the rescue soon, cotton will cease to je a profitable article of produce. England is louhling ber product of cotton in ber Indian jossessioos, and with France is co-operating ?vith the King of Egypt to rano a largo supply of cottoa in that country, whioh is said to be a better staple than the best ever sold in the New Orleans market. Ln Brazd they occupy the same position, so that we are to have many competitors in the raising of cotton. We mutt, therefore, in crease the produce of our lands so as to suc? cessfully compete with these countries. Tbe position is alarming, but if I shall succeed in tuging you to take some steps in this impor? tant matter, I will be repaid for my coming to Memphis. The country at the present time is Like Spain before its fal). It had been a pow? erful nation, and had complete power ol all the West Indies, but where is she now ? Let those who read history answer the question They will bear me out. This may also become iie condition of the United States, if rou do not exercise more self d?pend? ance. You imagine that by your own strength of arm you may sod can nai i tain the situation and avert all ta is, but I loll you there is a power you cannot control un ess you bring a power of sufficient force and strength agomBt it aud that is the money capi? tal which is working night aud day. lt is this ?bat has made England and Franco powerful More England controlled this vast capital jowsr bbe was torn nearly asunder hy diseeu liouB. Disturbances wer J frequent, and she vas always in a state of revolution. Tho mono? poly was broken up, and the money is now used 'or the furtherance cf industrial objects.

[THOM AH OCCASIONAL COR RESPONDENT j FOBS, RICHXA>D Cou?TY, May 21.-In com? pliance with your request to those engaged in agriculture throughout the State to gire yon, I from time to time, information in regard to growing crops, I will endeavor briefly to give j you the condition of things in this section. As to the extent of land plantel in cotton, I do not think it exceeds very much that of last year; less land and more thorough cultiva? tion seems to be the disposition of all. Nearly every one bas planted corn for home demand, and the young corn generally looks well. It has been the custom here for planters to com? mence to plant cotton about the 10th of April. On Monday, 13th, the weather was quite cool and unseasonble, m some places ice was seen in the troughs about the firm yardi. Many com? menced planting, hoping fora favorable change in a day or two. On the 20th there was a good tall of rain, which was much needed to bring forward the cotton planted, and which now be? gan to come up and grow off finely. But from this time (20th April to tbe 3d of May, during which time most of the cotton was planted, ) there was too mucn rain, with, vory cool nights. This caused the cotton to come np bad? ly, grow off very slow, and, in many instances, to die out after it came np. The plantations adjacent to the river seem to h?ve suffered most. Fortunately, as far as I can learn, most of those who have had to replant have been able to procure seed, and should we have a late fall it may not, to any material extent, lessen ?.he crop. The freedmen, generally, have gone to work with a great deal of energy, and seem to bave a great desire to make monev. Unfortunately for them, too many who could command good wages, and by economy and careful manage? ment in tine save enough to make a fair start, have settled off to themselves on a few acres of land, and not having intelligence to direct their praiseworthy industry, they grow poorer and poorer, and the coveted "forty acres AL d a mul?" gets further and further in th 3 gloomy future, I am glad to notice a more general disposi? tion among them to rely more upon, and to bo less suspicious of, their former owners. They are learning gradually, by practical experience, (the only way 1 ever thought they could learn it) that their only hope for anything like pros? perity is through the assistance to be given them by th- se they have been taught to look upon as enemies. This has always be sn a remarkably quiet section. Politics seem to bo very little thought of. We are represented by a very quiet color? ed man, Hon. Esop Ooodson, who, either from the fact of not knowing anything to say for the good of ?he public, or not knowing bow to siy it, wisely kept quiet. Hie example might have been followed, to their credit, by a good many who, in their efforts to gain renown, brought themselves to ridicule. We are now having fine weather, and the prospectfor a crop looks better. W. w a > a? .? ? THE CENTRAL RAILROAD. THE ENTERPRISE WELL UNDER WEIGH. Organtratlon of the Board of Corpo . rotors.

J ( THE GRANDEUR OF MENIALS. Unapproachability of the Washington Officials. A Wash ?DB ton letter to the (Tincumati Com? mercial eays: A ?tranger comme to Washington the first time ie an object of pity. Especially IB tb ie so it he ie of tender sensibilities, and of a retiring nature. What with impertinent hotel clerke, airy messengers, and the grandeur of all per? sons here holding menial or subordinate posi? tions, added to the extortion everywhere prac ticed, if a stranger desires a second visit here he must be of slow perceptions and cast iron endurance. I have sean gentlemen from North era cities, oven from Wall street, come here with tbe intention of staying two or three days, for tbe purpose of transacting business in tho departments needing their personal at tent ion, take the return train, down-spirited broken-hearted almost, at their ungentle treatment Dy lackeys ind subordinates Not men who arc in the habit taking off their hats to yon when they s leak, not men so modest and tender that they tremble at tho sight of a Coneressman but. those who rush into the Stock Excnang Gola Boom and Brokers' Board, and tight, on yell and bluff, and frighten less reckless gamb? lers. When such men, with sensibdities cov ered wich a coat of mail, cannot succeed here yon may well inquire what becomes oft, per son who tries to uso the manners of a gentle man and the accent of a Christian. Thev simply get frightened ont of town. If the loftiness or sneering condescension' of the hotel clerk does not do it the first night, let him the next morning go into one of the de partmenta and accost a messenger sitting out? side the door of an auditor, a chief clerk, or some other big-leeling subordinate, and he ia bonud to take the early train for home. If by chance he escapes .the messenger at the door he is sure to surrender to tho first clerk with whom he attempts to do business. AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT. I have a vivid reme mbrance of a visit to the State Department, when I was younger and greener (ban I om now. I remember it was on a Thursday, and a card was hang upon the door knob, warning the visitors that none bat members of Congress, foreign ministers, and secretaries of legation were admitted on Thursdays. I tried to pass the messengei in the hall by assuuiing a bruaqne air, bat his keen eyes and dignified bearmg quite unnerv? ed and belittled me, and he turned me oat doors with a manner that charmed while it maddened me. I went up the next day: the messenger knew me, and with a s oe er bade me go up stairs. There I foun i a man who could gain a position ia society at any court in the world merely on his appearance. I felt humiliated ia his presence. He observed me with great composure, and he new in a minute that I was not a member of Congress, nor Sec? retary of legation, and he knew, therefore, that I was of no consequence. Be turned me over to another mao, who also put on scollops and treated me something like a convict. He looked me over, and then transferred me to another. I spent two hours in that depart? ment, trying to do what ought not to have taken ten minutes. AT TEE TREA8UKV DEPARTMENT. Yon are rather better treated here, inerely because nobody pays any attention to yon. Ton isk the cluster of mr singers -font the table in tbe hall fronting the secretary'a office if the secretary is within. They say yes or no, as the case may be, and continuo dribbling on scraps of paper. They give no farther notice bo yon, and the stranger is lett m ignorance of ffhat is proper for him to do. Lr yon make 1 arther inquiry, you will probably be snapped iff with a short word, or receive no answer whatever. If you produce a card, and ask to iee the secretary, one cf the messengers will irobabiy take the card in. but be will do it n such a way aa to make yoa wish he had not lone it. Yon will get along well enough with Bontweli. it soo get to binij but ? nity you i: ire referred to some clerk or subordinate. Then you will sae where the laugh comes in. iou will not only be required to give your lame, residence and the extent of your family, rat you will be asked for what purpose you de lire the information, and tho business yon fol ow. Ahe humiliation you suffer before these autocrats is something beyond conception, fou approach them with hat in hand, and re? nata standing in a resp c;ful attitude until hay are xeady to talk to you. They will thon ookup at you disdainfully, frowning an in ruiry as to 'your reason for troubling them. Len chances to one you have not the courage, n such pt ese nee, to tell your business intel i ;ently, and you are only too glad to leave them vheu they nave given you anything like an ins wer. As for transacting business with some >f these young popinjays, it is not to be nought of. They have only to cast their eyes >n you, and they can tell the texture of your :ravat, the coat of your coat, the material of ?our pantaloons, and the maker of your bat. The more broadcloth you have on, and thc j arger the diamond in your ehirt-frunt, the ; jetter will be your treatment. The same ie j rue of every department here. , AT THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.

Beside i his gentleman you feel yourself to be a child 1 n the noble qualities that make tbe man. You < ire ready to tell your business to bim instead < )f the Secretar*. You wonder, if the Kecrc- I ?arv's colored messenger is such a man, what i nust be the Secretary. But tho Secretary, i thou you tee him, is much easier to talk to \ han tho messenger. You feel tnat he is not 1 latte so far above you as he. Yon must give i -our card to this messenger to lake to tiio c secretary, and yet you feel more like chang- ' OR places with him and taking in his cord. I Ie looks at tbe card very critically, for ho s ts a connoisseur in cards-a most admirable . udgc of o-.graving. He gracefully waves you o a seat, and bo waits, and wans, and waite. To rest yourself, you take a few torus about be half; be still ii lids your curd, but says ho rill take it in "presently." Again you set li lown; read an old copy of a newspaper, indu- t ling adven?s.metiis and Washington letter, ( nd ?.gain venture to take a look at the mes- . sneer. He still has vom* card in his band, mt if bc should tear it up before your eyes 1 'ou ?are not remonstrate with bim, and BO X OU wait and wait. This is kept up day after tj lay, tho result each time being that he keeps our card an hour before takiug it in. or tho lecrotary ke?pa it an hour before tending for - ou. This ie nut peculiar to tho Interior De lartmcnt; these delays arc perpetual, and per- 3 iaps aro unavoidable*. It is just Hus statu ol _ flairs that makes the doing of business in " Vasbington such a trouble and delay. This ia J no reason that our friends, tho office-seekers, 1< ?ero kool GO iona, from their ?.-m?ies and their s redi tors-they couldn't get interviews with D he Secretaries. j, AT THE ATTORNEY OESEBAl/S OFFICE .'bc employees aie unobjectionable.

Io the year 1819 there was, in the neighbor? hood of Montgomery, an aucient manor-houec called Oakfield, which, lis? many of those old structures, losing its original importance from the increased BIZ? and convenience of modern buildings, had been converted into a farm bouse, rho late occupant, one James Morris, hal been an ind dent and somewhat dissipated man: the farm consequently tell into neglect and became unprofitable, aud he died in debt, leaving his wife and only daughter in posses? sion of tbe place. Shortly airer his death the widow took into her employment a young man from Staffordshire, of the name of John New? ton, the hero of this b'ttle story, who had been strongly recommended to ber by her brother; and well and faithfully did he discharge his du? ties as bailiff, folly jusiitymg tbe praise and recommendations sho received with bim. He wns an utter stranger in that part of the conn try, Beemed studiously to ?hun all acquaint? ance with his neighbors, and to devote himself j exclusively to his employer. Ho never left borne but to visit the neighboring fairs and markets, and to attend the parish church, where his presence was regular and bis con? duct devout. In short, though hiehly circum? spect in his behavior on all occasions, ho was a melancholy, reserved man, and even the clergyman of the pariah, to whom he was al? ways most respectful in his demeanor, en? tirely failed m making acquaintance with him. The farm under his management had improved, and became profitable; aud the circumstances of Mrs. Morris were by his assiduity and skill, both prosperous and nour? ishing. In this manner moro than two years had passed, and the widow began to re? gard bim more as a friend and benefactor than a servant, and was not sorry to ob? serve her daughter's growing affection for him, which appeared to be reciprocated, One eve? ning in November, 1821. being detained longer than usual by business at Welshpool, Newton set out about eix o'cloo'a to walk homo to Oakfield. It was an exceedingly dark night, and he never reached home again. His family became very anxious, and upon inquiring J. riv the following morning at Welshpool, they* as? certained that he bad been brought back to that town not long after his departure from it, by two men named Parker and Pearce, who charged him with highway robbery, accompa n. ed by violence, au offence then punishable with death. At the trial ot the next assize lie was pronounced guilty on the testimony of these two men, which ?as clear, positive and consistent throughout, was sentenced to be hanged, and left for execution. He employed no counsel, and called no witnesses in his de? fence; but upon being asked by the judge, in the usual form, ' if be bad anything to say wby sentence of death should not be passed upon bin*," be made, in substance, the following extraordinary speech : "My lord, it is evident all I could say in oppo? sition to such testimony would be in vam und hopeless. The witnesses aro meu of respecta? bility, and their evidence has appeared plain and conclusive, and my most solemn protesta? tions of innocence would avail me nothing. I have called no witnesses to character, snd upon Buch evidence the jury could pronounce no other verdict. I hame them not. From my soul 1 forgive those men upon whose tarse testimony 1 have been convicted. But, my lord, I protest most solemnly before this court, before your lordship, and above all, before that God in whose presence I must shortly appear, I am entirely guiltless of the crime for which I am about to suffer. I have produced no one to speak in my behalf. Two years bave scarcely passed since I came to this country an utter btranger. I have made no acquaintance here beyond the household in wliicu I nave been employed, and where I have endeavored to discharge my duties faithfully, honestly and well. Although I dare not hope, and do not lif^lMijiasia^ crime may not rest upon my nam?. I devout? ly hope that my good mistress and ber kind and excellent daughter may yet be convinced that they have not nourished and befriended a highway robber. I bave, therefore, in bumble devotion, offered a prayer to Heaven, and I be? lieve it has been heard and accepted. I venture to assert that if I am innocent for the crime for which I Buffer, the grass, for one generation, at least, will not cover my grave. My lord, I await your sentence without a murmur, without a sor? row; and 1 devoutly pray that all who hear me now may repent of their sins, and meet me again in net ven* The unfortunate man'WaB z >ndemned and executed, and was buriel in Montgomery church-yard. Thirty years had passed iwiy when I saw it, in company with poor Eliot Warburton, and the grass had not [hen covered bis grave. It is bituated in a re? mote corner of the church-yard, far removed from all other graves. It i - not a raised mound o? earth, bul is even with the surrounding ground, which is, for some distance, especially luxariant,tbe herbage being rich aud abundant. Numerous attempts have from time to time boen made by some who are still alive, and Diners who have passed away, to o rn g grass apon that bare spot. Freak soil has been fre? quently spread upon it, and soada of various rinds have been sowo, but not a blade bas there jver been known to spring from them and the soil soon became a emo.itb, cold and stubborn May. With respect to the unhappy wilncssess, it appen rs that Parker's ancestors had once iwncd Oakfield, and that he had boped by jetting nd of Newtoti, to remove the main ob iiacle there was to his repossessing it, and .hat Pearce had, at the time or Mr. Morris' loath, aspired to tbe band of bis daughter, in J, hose affections he felt be had been supplanted >y poor Newton. The former soon loft tho leiehborbood, be jame a drunken and dissolute nan, and was ultimately killed in some lime vurks. while in the oct of blasting a rock. Pearce grew sullen and dispirited, his very ex Bieuee seemed a burden to him, and, as thc lld sexton of Montgomery expressed it, "he vested away from th-, face of the earth."-" Thc Seato-i Tic*.ei." in the Lublin.
