The Text of Sickles' Note to the Span? ish Government-The Latest Schemes Of the Radicals-B<fcit\veU Alarmed for the Party Ascendancy at the South-The Prospect for Virginia And}- Johnson's Chances for the Sen? ate, ?fcc. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.} * WASHINGTON, October 3. The Slate Department has receh ed official dispatches endorsing the text of Sickles' fa? mous note to the Spanish Government, con? cerning the purport of which there has been so much sp?culation of late in the newspapers. The document proves to be quite as threat? ening in its character as it was asserted to be in the cable telegram. It declares that the Spanish cause in Cuba is hopeless ; that the Spanish treasury ls depleted ; that the time is close at'hand when the Government of the Unflfvd States must succumb to popular opin? ion here and recognize the independence ol Cuba. Minister Sickles adds that the pending policy is an offer of negotiation with a view to ascer? taining the real wishes of the Cuban people as to whether they desire independence, annexa? tion to the Union, or to remain a Spanish de? pendency. This government, he says, is wil? ling to purchase Cuba for a sum of money to j be hereafter agreed upon, and he claims to be Instructed by President Grant to insist that Spain must prosecute the war on a human?? basis. He concludes his note by saying: "I have written frankly, as a soldier should write to a military power." Prominent Northern Republicans write that Secretary Boutwell ls strenuously opposing the proscriptive policy of the administration to? wards Dent and Hamilton, the Conservative candidates for Governor in Mississippi and Texas. He urges that this policy, if persisted in, will infallibly give the Democracy the con? trol of the entire South at no distant day. Positive Information has been received here of a Radical combination designed to delay the admission of Virginia until Congress shall have exacted the test oath as a qualification for the* Legislature, so as to secure, beyond peradventure, the election of Radical senators. A private telegram from Nashville says that the Tennessee Legislature meets to-morrow, and that an informal count puts Andrew John? son ahead in the contesv/or the Senate. The Hon. A. 0. P. Nicholson, Democrat, who was considered Johnson's most formidable oppo? nent, has declined; to allow ?ls name to be used as a candidate. [PROM TBS ASSOCIATES PRESS.] WASHINGTON, October 2. The special partisans of the C?spedes gov? ernment have unfavorable advices from the , interior of Cuba, which seems confirmatory of the Havana reports of Jordan's desire to , abandon the struggle. The Herald's Key West special says a Cuban expedition, 400 strong, commanded by Gomera1 Cristo, has escaped to the Florida coast, where lt was Joined by the Cuban privateers Lilian and Teaser, with 1600 men, under General Goisara. The fleet was freighted with 10,000 rifles, 5004-sabres and 20 guns-ranging from 6 to 24-pounders, Another body of men, under Steedman and Magruder, are about embark? ing from a Gulf port for a common rendezvous off the Cuban coast. The lilian and Teaser sailed last hight, and will be Joined at sea by the Cnban^priyjjteers Hornet and Cuba, c?rry lng each fifteen guns, some Of which are 100 pounders. Volunteering is very brisk along the entire Gulf coast; 5000 men are waiting transportation. AVew Orleans telegram says: "The New York Herald's dispatch relative to the steam? ers Lilian and Teaser ls considered a fabrica? tion, as one of the steamers referred to is still in this port," , . A correspondence bas occurred between Ahe agents of the Euterpe and the State Depart? ment. . Secretary Fish takes the ground that he cannot, upon rumor, grant a convoy; but should a vessel bearing the national flag be unlawfully molested, prompt action will be taken to prevent a repetition of the outrage and punish the offenders. It seems certain that the new Cuban expeditions are being en? gineered by parties unknown, but who are more potent than the old Cuban Junta. Consul Plumb report? Spanish interference w.th the malls at Havana, which he believes wUi be followed by open seizure, unless the government acts promptly. The dispatches have been referred to Secretary Cresswell. The steamers Dictator and Severn have been equipped and coaled, in momentary expecta? tion of orders for Cuba. It is stated that Delano bas prepared a cir? cular to the assessors, referring to incomes, which involves universal domiciliary visits. Those who have failed to report must all make oath. Delano demands energetic action from assessors. Advices from the East India squadron.are unfavorable to the apprentice system; many have deserted, and the majority of those re? maining are always under punishment. A delegation of Ohio steamboat men, headed by James-K. Morehead, ls here before the board of unperwriters, opposing bridges over navigable streams less than 400 feet span. Sherman opposes any further reduction oL, the army until the Indian troubles are over. EUROPE. The British Wax Secretary on Colonial Policy-Matters tm Spain-The Saxon Met, ?fte. LONDON, October. 1. The Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, Secretary of State for War, delivered a speech to his con? stituents at Oxford last evening, on the subject ofthe policy of the government toward Canada. He said the general policy of governing colo? nies from home was a total failure, and there had consequently been substituted for it a policy to encourage them to dcvelope their own power and resources, and stimulate them to a spirit of self-reliance. He showed how successful this policy had been in the case of Canada, and briefly reviewed the progress re? cently made by that colony. She already had an army of her own, and such a merchant navy* that If ber people chose to adopt the act passed for thc purpose, she might become one of ?toe. first maritime powers of thc world. .'This," the speaker said, "wea the true policy to pursue. If we benefit the Canadians, we bc nen* ourselves also. By this policy our colo? nies have become sources ol' strength and honor. When the time comes, and England calls for the support of her colonies, there will be a confederation such as the world never saw under a single sovereign*." The duty of reporting upon the various can? didates for the throne ol" Spain has been con ^fld?tl to a commission of fifteen deputies to the Cortes. The Spanish Republican move? ments in.Catalonia and Andalusia, it is said, will fail. The potato crop of England is below an ave? rage. It is estimated that half the crop will be encumbered with disease. The treaty between Austria and China has been duly signed. DRESDEN, October 1. The King opened the sessions of the Diet with a speech, wherein he said he had always endeavored to further the development of the Confederacy on the basis of the Federal Con? stitution, and he shoidd continue to use his influence to preserve the bonds of friendship between the States of the Bund, and in this respect he should act in complete unison with his federal'allies. . -'-* THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. RICHMOND, October 3. About flit}' members of the new Legislature have arrived. Very few, if any, are committed to vote for particular candidates for senators, and all seem to be waiting a caucus to settle matters. The names chiefly mentioned for senators by the Walker men to-night are Frank? lin Stearns, General Robert Williams and Lieu? tenant Governor John F. Lewis. A caucus of Walker men will be held to-morrow night to nominate officers of the Legislature. Ste? phanlas Turner and John B. Crenshaw are spoken of for speaker of the House. The sen? atorial election will not take place until the end of the week. TEXAS POLITICS. GALVESTON, October 2. Provisional Governor Pease sent in his re? signation yesterday, and will take the stump for Hamilton. The action of General Reynolds and the administration regarding Texas affairs will cause twenty more Republican speakers to take the field for the Hamilton ticket. Prepa? rations are being made for a grand Hamilton demonstration here to-morrow. SPARKS FROM THF WIRES. Koopmanschaap ls now in New. Orleans. Franklin Pierce is very sick; his ul selle has assumed a dropsical form. A new and dangerous counterfeit ten-dollar greenback has just appeared. % A heavy earthquake, accompanied, by a loud noise, occurred at San Lorenzo, California, on Saturday. The failure of Adams, Kimball A Moore and Pulllan ? Raymond, ls announced on the New York Stock Board. A Havana dispatch says that as the barome? ter indicates a hurricane, the captain of the port had ordered vessels in the harbor to be securely moored. The boiler of one of the two engines compet? ing for speed at the Indiana State Fair, explod? ed on Saturday, kiding ulncteeu persons ami wounding many. Among the killed was Mr. Jackson, of Memphis. Another political row occurred in Philadel? phia on Friday night. Eleven persons are known to be seriously wounded, namely : Three Democrats and four Republicans; three i citizens and one policeman. The Democrats drove the Republicans from their headquarters and destroyed1 their transparencies. THE STATE FAIR. Plan of tlie Buildings-Arrangement? for the Pair-The Work Goes Bravely On. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] COLUMBIA, S. C.v October 2. The fall trade of Columbia is expected to be* ? brisk and lively, and our merchants have made every provision to meet its watits. The ap? proaching State - Fair will doubtless prove a , valuable aid to Columbia, and to the whole State, and I am glad to say that 1 belfere lt will be largely and generally attended. I have been permitted to inspect the plans of the Fair buildings, the work of A. Y. Lee, Esq., archi? tect, gratuitously contributed by this gentle? man. They reflect credit upon the profession? al skill of Mr. Lee, which the liberality of the gift surely does him honor. The centre building presents a handsome front of 75 by 45 feet, with two wings 35 by 75 feet, the entire front aggregating 145 feet, the whole*two stories high, with galleries extend? ing around the edifice. In the middle of the main building will be erected an aquarium ll by 37 feet, which will serve as a graceful orna? ment to the building. There will be an am? phitheatre in the front grounds, amply pro? vided with seats for spectators, in the centre of which will be erected a stand for the com? mittees distributing prizes. The sheds for cat? tle, stock and horses, will be most comfortably arranged, and the grounds tastefully and con? veniently laid off, there being a separate track for exhibitions of horses. Every department to which contributions may come will be care? fully arranged. The buildings are progressing rapidly under the superintendence of an ex? perienced mechanic, Mr. R. W. Johnson. AFFAIRS IN PENDLETON. Close of the Presbytery-M ethodist Camp-Meeting-Frost-Court Doings, Sic. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] PENDLETON, S. C., September 29. Presbytery has closed, and its next regu? lar meeting to be held at Newberry Court? house. Methodist camp-meeting commenced yesterday at Sandy Springs,. five miles from this place, to continue during the week. We had quite a frost in the low lands this morn? ing, but not enough to do any damage. The session of the criminal side of the Circuit Court for Anderson closed this evening, Judge Oar presiding. There were twelve convictions, two of the parties indicted pleading guilty; ol" these one only was white, the rest being ne? groes. Thc cases were not very grave; one of burglary, titree or four grand larceny, two petty larceny, and the rest ordinary assaults. The sentences were imprtionuient in thc peni? tentiary for various terms not exceeding two years, rn most of the cases for assault the parties were discharged from imprisonment upon paying costs and small fines. -Two of the clerks employed in the siLk de? partment ol" A. T. Stewart & Co.'s wholesale store, In New York, have been arrested on a charge of having committed a series of ex? tensive larcenies. A duplicate pass-stamp used in the store for the outgoing parcels was found in their possession. ALL ABOUT CLABEXDOX. The Condition of the Crops-Thc Pro? bable ?leld of Corn, Cotton and Rice Manning Wide-Awake-Country Poli? tics. [FROM 01R OWN CORRESPONDENT.] MANNING, S. (^.?September 27. The weather of late has been somewhat fickle; within the last ten days we have had warm weather and heavy rains, bright and clear but cold weather, and now the sun has withdrawn his bright smiles, and we have clouds superadded to the cool weather. The farmers are busy gathering their crops. Cotton will fall short of last yeai's crop in this county at least one-fourth, owing mainly to the cool weather early in the spring, and the protracted drought In the summer. The cater? pillars have infested the cotton fields to a considerable extent, but they began their de? predations too late to lessen the yield mate? rially. The yield of corn this year 1B much less than last year, and OB an average about a half crop will be harvested. The rice, pea and potato crops may be estimated at less than the above figures, and an estimate of one-fourth the crop of these productions com? pared with last year's crop would not be far short of the facts, and this decrease is trace? able to the drought in August last, and the earlier weeks of the present month. Not? withstanding these discouragements, the farm? ers are hopeful, and will soon be making dili? gent preparations for another year. More cotton has been bought and sold in Manning this year, thus far, than usual, and our merchants pay as good prices as Sumter offers; previous to this year the latter place has generally held out greater inducements to sellers than the former. Business here is quite active, but I cannot chronicle anything new in the way of improvements. If the Cen? tral Railroad should be a success, it will give a great impetus to enterprise and improve? ment, and Manning will shake off her appa? rent lethargy. Politics in our county, metaphorically speak? ing, are asleep, and Sambo and Cuffee have but little in the way of opposition to arouse their patriotism to fever heat. The blacks hold meetings occasionally, say every other Saturday, but what for, and what they say or do, Is unknown to the respectable portion of the whites. Prominent among the speakers at these meetings are William Nelson, (very black) representative from the county, and Powell Smythe, (mulatto) chairman of the board of school commissioners. It is said that the latter will be brought out at the next election for senator against Elias E. Dickson, the present incumbent. As both ure Radicals, there ls but little choice between them. Dick? son being a white native Radical is more de? tested by the respectable white people than the other. Cotton and corn stealing seem to have almost become a regular trade, and the farm? ers have to watch their fields with as much assiduity as hens watching over Uieir broods. _ FRANZ. THE XORTHMOST XOETH. Farther Particulars Concerning the Pate of Sir John Franklin-Late from the ley North-A. Ship Found Complete and Large Numbers of Haman Skele? tons. The following are thc most interesting parts of a letter just received from Mr. C. F. Hall, the Arctic explorer, by Mr. Henry Grlnnell, of New York : The result of my sledge journey to King William's Land may be summed up thus : None of Slr John Franklins companions ever reach? ed or died on Montreal Island. It was late in July, 1848, that Crozier and his party of about forty-five passed down the west coast of King William's Land, in the vicinity of Cape Her? schel. The party was dragging two sledges on the Bea-lce, which was nearly In Its last stage of dissolution-one a large sledge laden with an awning covered boat, and the other a small one laden with provisions and camp material. Just before Crozier and party arrived at Cape Herschel they were met by four families of natives, and both parties went into camp near each other. Two Esquimaux men, who were of the native party, gave mc ?much sad but deeply Interesting informa? tion. Some of it stirred my heart with sad? ness intermingled with rage, for ft was a con? fession that they with their companions did secretly and hastily abandon sCrozier and his party to suffer and die for need'of fresh provi? sions, when, in truth, it was in the power of the natives to save every man alive. The next trace of Crozier and his party is to be lound In the skeleton which Mcclintock dis? covered a little below, to the southward and eastward of Cape Herschel ; this was never found bv the natives. The next trace is ti camping place on the seashore of King William's Land, about three miles eastward of Pfeiffer River, where two men died and received Christian burial. A4 this place fish bones were found by the natives, which showed them that Crozier and his partv had caught, while there, a spe? cies of fish excellent for food, with which the sea there abounds. The next trace of this par? ty occurs some five or six miles eastward, on a long, low point of King William's Land, where one man died and was buried. Then about S. S. E., about two and a half miles further, thc next trace occurs, on Todd's Inlet, where the remains of five men lie. The next certain trace of this party ls on the west side of the inlet, west of Point Richardson, on some low land that is an is? land, or a part of the main land, as the tide may be. Here the awning-covered boat and the remains of about thirty or thirty-five of Crozier's party were found by the native Poo yet-ta, of whom Sir John Ross has given a de? scription in the account of his voyage in the Victory. 1829-34. In the spring of 1849, a large tent was found by some ot the natives whom I saw, the floor of which was complete? ly covered with the remains of white men. Close by were two graves. The tent was a little way inland from the head of Terror Bay. In the "spring of 1801, when the snow was nearly all gone,.an Esquimaux party, conduct? ed by a native well known throughout the northern regions, found two boats, with many skeletons in and about them. One of these boats had been previously found by Mcclintock; the other was found lying from one-quarter to one-half mlle distant, and must have been completely entombed In snow at the time Mc Clintock's parties were there, or they most as? suredly would have seen it. Tlie same year that thc Erebus and Terror were abandoned, one of them consummated the great northwest passage, having five men aboard. The evidence of the exact number is circumstantial. Everything about this north? west passage ship of Sir John Franklin's expe? dition was in complete order; four boats were hanging high up at thc ship's sides, and one was on the quarter-deck; the vessel was in its winter housiug of sall or tent cloth. This ves? sel was found by the Ook-joo-lik natives near O'Reilly Island, latitude 38 degrees 30 minutes north, longitude 99 degrees 80 minutes west, early In the spring of 1849. it being frozen in, in thc midst of a smooth und unbroken flow of ice of only one winter's formation. From cer? tain evidence I have gained both at Ig-lco-Iik and King William's Land, there must have been a dog of the greyhound species belonging lo one or the other of the two ships. I utily know this through native testlmonv. It l's quite likely that some one in England can tell whether there was a dog on board either of the ships wht .. Sir John Franklin left in 1845. To corr.ijx'te tut history of Sir John Frank? lin's la?Lexpedition, one must spend a summer on King William's Land with a considerable party, whose only business should be to make searches for records which beyond doubt He buried on that island. I am certain from what I have heard the natives say, and from what I saw myself, that little or nothing more can be gained by making searches there when the land ls clothed in Its winter garb. Knowing, as I do. the character of the Esquimaux in that part of the country in which King William's Land ls situated, I cannot wonder at nor blame the Repulse Bay natives for their refusal to re? main there as ' I desired. Wherever the Es? quimaux have found the graves of Franklin's companions they have mig them open and robbed tho dead. leaving them exposed to the ravages of wild beasts. On Todd's Island the remains of Ave men were not buried, but after the savages had robbed them of every article that, could be turned to anv account for their use, their dogs were allowed to finish the dis? gusting work. AFTER THE STORM. The Maddie in Wall Street -Heavy Failures-Stocks Higher - Scenes at i_the. Gold [Markets-Feeling against Fisk-Injunctions-Settling the Bal? ances. The New York papers are beginning to print something besides accounts of the panic, al? though all continue to dweil fondly upon it. The Gold Exchange Bank is lashed by the Times for want of capacity, and threats of the United States Bankrupt Court are freely ut? tered. Fisk. Gould and Beiden are made the scapegoats of all sorts of financial misdoing, and in one case Fisk is called an arch-devil. The Sun asks the District-Attorney to prose? cute the Ring for "Injuring the public health." The Herald says "what we want is an able man-a statesman-for Secretary of the Trea? sury, who can enlighten Congress on what is needed for the country and can prepare the way for the necessary legislation. Evidently, Mr. Boutwell is not the man." A New York letter of Wednesday says : SEVERAL HEAVY FAILURES Are announced this morning. Among theee are Lockwood A Co., C. A. ilelgs & Son, Julian A Co., Fidler, Treat & Co. Besides these there are numerous others whose names are rumor? ed in connection with to-day's failures, but no reliable Information can be gathered in regard to the same. There appeared to be a some? what better feeling on the 8tock Exchange this morning, when business commenced, as it was noticed that outside capitalists were coming in and buying stocks at low prices; but when the above failures were announced, the market broke, and down went New York Cen? tral from 163 to 147, where, at this writing, lt is trying very hard to come up again Of course the other stocks followed in sym? pathy with New York Central, and the market and the street generally once more wore a most gloomy aspect. THE GOLD BROKERS. in the meantime, were making superhuman efforts to straighten out their accounts of Fri? day and Thursday last. Yesterday I stated that, dissatisfied with the dilatoriness of the Gold Exchange Bank, they had transferred Vtheir clearings to the Bank of New York. But s institution having looked at the enormity the transactions they would have to settle ould have nothing to do with lt, and a committee of twenty, therefore, took the matter In their own handB, and they have been at their work all night and all day,withs a fair prospect of having everything in readi? ness this evening. THE MODE OF PROCEDURE In arranging the balances Is very simple. Each broker who sells gold makes an order on the clearing house, printed in black letters, direct? ing the delivery of the amount sold at the price agreed upon to the broker who purchases. Each broker who buys gold makes an order on the clearing house, printed in red letters, di* recting it to receive the amount purchased at the price agreed upon. The brokers having sent in statements of their transactions accom (iers"are termed? the committee compare the statements and the tickets, and strike the balance of gold due, which, as agreed upon by tho operators, is set? tled for on the basis of the premium of 135. IMMENSE TRANSACTIONS. Out of the statements before the committee of twenty, it appeared this morning, that the business in the Gold Room on Friday and Sat? urday last amounted to over the enormous sum of a thousand millions gold bought and sold, on those two days. Can any one wonder that lt ls difficult to straighten ont ali their transactions ? A8PECT OF THINGS ON THURSDAY. A New York dispatch of Thursday says: On looking at the surface of things to-day, everything has the aspect of calmness, com? pared with the excitement of the past few days. There are, however, many who do not believe that the storm ls over, and who fear that the present calm is only the prelude to still fiercer thunder than we have been listening to ever since Friday last. There is believed to be some? thing very rotten at the bottom of our finan? cial affairs, which only needs another shaking like that of Friday last to envelope everything around in ruin anti disaster. FISK A CO. ' Tlie indignation against James Fisk, Jr., who, it now appeai-s, has been tho prime mover in all of I hose nefarious transactions, is terrific. It ls said that orders of arrest are ont against him, but protected as he is In his Twenty-third street office by a body guard, and four attor? neys In his employ, lt ls next to impossible to reach him. Throats of murder have been made against him. but he takes good care not to show his face in Wall street. He and his brokers, Smith Martin and Gould, have flooded the town with INJUNCTIONS, Which have been served all around, enjoining all members of the gold room from selling him out under the rules, enjoining banks and cor? porations, who hold his stocks as collateral security, from selling these out, and enjoining everybody from doing anything that may act or tend to the advantage of James Fisk, Jr.. and his sat?lites.

Oh, yes ! of course. -Mr. George Peabody sailed from New York for England on Wednesday in the Scotia He returns very weak; indeed his debility has been such that he has been obliged during the last three months to confine himself within doors, lying down for twenty hours or more of | the twenty-four, and only going out when com? pelled to do so by important business'. He has besides experienced an almost total loss of ap? petite. Still, there are encouraging symptoms in his case, inasmuch as his cough, which weakened him so much, has nearly left him, and he has lately commenced to gam in weight. It is hoped that a winter residence in a warmer climate, even if it does not entirely restore him, may so far improve his health as to pro? long his useful and happy life. -When Miss Carlotta Patti was in England several years ago, a very pretty little story was told about her, which has been revived since her arrival In this country. She was once driving through one of the London sub? urbs, when she observed a sparrow, which seemed to have been wounded, fluttering along the roadside. Pitying the little sufferer, she alighted from her carriage, and taking lt nn rorw tonHorlr t)\o/>,irflr/i,l tVtof Knth nf Ho legs were broken. The forlorn condition of | the bird, and the character of its injuries, with which her own disability taught her so well how to sympathize, induced Miss Patti to take the poor little creature home. Since that hour the bird and the cantatrice have been insepa? rable friends. It has been with her in all her Journeyings, accepts its food from no other hands but hers, and seems to watch and wait for her as If it possessed an intelligence capa? ble of gratitude. % .

Special Notices. ?Sf NOW IS THE TIME TO REPAIR the inroads made upon the physical strength by the heated term which has closed with Septem? ber. The vitality that has been oozing through the pores in the form of perspiration, for the last three months, requires to be replaced, as a prepa? rative to the cold season which makes such disas? trous havoc with relaxed and untoned systems. The reserve of vigor with which the stoutest man commences the summer campaign ls drained out of him at its close, and unless by some means he acquires a new stock of vital energy wherewith to encounter the shock of a colder season, he may droop and wither like the falling leaves whose life-juices arc exhausted. If it ls thus with the strong, how much more perillous ls thc condition of the week and ailing.

To THE PEOPLE OV SOUTH CAROLINA : The above Company was organized in 1866, I consequence of thc wholesale forfeiture or SoutI ern policies by Northern companies. The ui paralleled success or the enterprise has rorce several of these companies to restore their SoutI ern policies, from the fact that they could ai operate in our midst without the appearance < honesty. We keep all our money at home to build n our impoverished country-every dollar of pre mlum being safely Invested In the State fror which lt ls derived. The Institution ls purel Southern, and hence should appeal with grea rorce to the patriotism and sympathy or ever, Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on othe companies, but to exhibit the special advantage offered by this purely Southern Company-found ed on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio o assets to liabilities-the true test of a company' strength-is second to none on this continent being nearly $300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented th I claims of this Company, lt has not only enlistet thc sympathies of our people, but has also secur ? ed their hearty co-operation. We have securet 600 policies in South Carolina since the 10th o : February. We number among our Director! : General Wade Hampton and Colonel Wm.
