Moses to bc "Ponnd" Again-The Dark Shadow* off of Columbia-i Legisla? tive Jehu-Suffering Cuba-A NtwRo liglou-Protection for tho Drummers. [PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Coi.uuniA, December 23. Thc Senate and House were called to order to-day at 12 o'clock, but a quorum not being present in cither, thoy were declared adjourn, ed until tho fin li of next month. Elliott, in pursuance of an anouncemcnl made by Speaker Moses yesterday, called thc Houso lo order to ? day. Thc reason of this, as understood, was to give thc representatives an opportunity of voting Moses four hundred dollars as a mark of their appreciation of his fitness as Speaker showing their generosity by giving him other peoplo's money. There were not more than twenty representatives present, and Elliott had to declaro tUom adjourned because Of a .lack of a quorum; consequently young Moses will have to be "found" at the end or thc ses? sion. Tho absonco of tho legislators makes Colum? bia look much quieter and considerably brighter than lt has looked for some time post. Trinco R. Rivers,? colored, member from Edgcfleld, who was formerly a carriage driver, has within thc past fow days purchased a good double-team "turnout," and tries to cut a dash In Columbia.

Abovo the address ls a Cuban Hag and a flag of the u Gem of thc Sea" In two colors, red and yel? low-the former much the larger-showing what portion of thc Island ls held by tho Cu? bans, and thc latter what ls held by thc Span? iards. Sovernl of thc colored senators have signed H. 1 havo sent Tar. NEWS a list of tho speakers (and their subjects) who will deliver addresses during thc session for thc benefit ot thc Meth? odist Church (colored) herc. Whoa the list was circulated among the senators, and they saw that "religion" was to bu the subject of young Moses, there were ouc or two humphs and ono remark, "Well, If he hasn't got the check," which mot Hm cordial approval of all around. It Is understood that tho Speaker is now '"cramming" for bis subject. His re? marks will, doubtless, be very interesting. It Is reported Hint one ot thc first measures brought up after the recess will be a bill to provide for thc protection of the drummers while In Charleston. L.

I cravs llio Indulgence of your readers, as well us your own, whilst I attempt u satisfac? tory and" caroful exposition of Hie questions proposed in my last url ?clo.. ll sliull bo my ef? fort to reaoli substantial conclusions ns con? cisely us possible, but lt requires minute anti painstaking investigation In all highly practi? cal subjects lo make either our observations safe or our deductions cogent and useful. When I say we can grow uplands compara? tively as well as is done lu the interior, lt ls meant uot only that wo can do as tedi, but that wc can do on nn nvcrago belter lo thc acre. Why should not this be *so If thc up? lands grow healthily with us al all ? Our lands are richer by 30 to IOU per cent, as ls proved by our capacity lu corn and every other crop, save small grath, which docs not generally grow healthily with us. Thc presumption that the temperature, salt air or soil of our Bcclion ls unsuitable to up? land varieties of colton is clearly without me? rit. Tho gouur il temperature ls the same, if not better, than Ibul of the most favored short cottou regions. The fact of our soil being sandy is no hindrance lo coll?n growth, as ls exemplified by the linc growth of thc sea islands; besides which, il is nell known thal some of tho host upland sections of our Stale aro also sandy, ns ls thc ease with t hc Allandale vicinity, in Barnwell District, and thc lower part of Edgollcld. Thc sall air or saline prop? erties of soil arc by no means ?prejudicial lo growth of uplands, lt ls a well known fuel that large crops of tho sumo have been made on our reclaimed marshes, and this when these lands would not mature thc sea Islands so as to escape Ibo great Injury from frost. As to the flatness of our soil, and in some instances luxuriance of growth, deemed by sonic in? compatible with uplands, I would cite thc Mississippi bottoms and Louisiana fields, some of thc finest of which aro as level as though they were graded by rule, whilst some of these very fields have to, bo planted six feet each way owing to thc great luxuriance of growth. So iar as our coast ls concerned, tho growth of cotton for thc most part is not excessive. It ls blessed with remarkably equable tempera? ture and seasons. We have never known be? fore 18G7 nnd 1SG8, In thc memory of mau, those overwhelming Hoods of ra'.n or extreme vicissitudes of season so frequent in thc South? west. Exeinpl from all possibility of freshets and overflows, wc again have no striking peri? odicities alw-ays so injurious and sometimes destructive to n slow growing crop like that of cotton, ll is lo this noxious peculiarity that both thc East and West Indies, as well as thc coast of Africa, arc subjected, which necessari? ly Involves expense and loss. However wo o .vam I ne tho condition of things we find lt in the main with us most favor? able lo the colton growth. Buf a no less Im? portant question arises as to our gathering sea? son. I may as well state herc, as furlhor on, that in this particular our coos! at least ls un? surpassed, as is fully borno out by what ls ne? cessary to thc silky fibre of the sea Islands, requiring, as it does, so much nlcor gathering than any other variety of cotton known. Thus lt appears, reasonably taken, if our soil has superior fertility lt has the adaptability otherwise to crow |R-B??<I">I>O ??f uPi>u<i3 w thc area than is done In Hie interior. So much for thc reasonable presumption; what of tho actual facts so far at our command? I have previously dealt witli thc past, its attempts and experiments, and have given tho same, I think, with candor and frankness. Thc expe? riments of thc day differ widely from thc post. Thc crop of upland reported In TUE NKWS as made on Edisto Island, during thc past season, ls lo thc point and striking. Here we havy 300 pounds of Uni to thc acre gathered by the 1st of November, whilst no more than fl fly pounds or sen islands to (bc acre was deemed possible as thc whole yield. This, loo, In favor of uplands being planted much later than the sea islands, holli on the snmc plantation nnd both swept by worm. Surely nothing could bo more conclusive as far as it goes. Wo are credibly informed of another crop on John's Island pointing In the same direction. If not -?xlending lo thc same (legree. I have before me a still more striking and interesting case, If possible, of a crop raised n St. Luke's on inferior lands and tin? ier tho mosl unfavorable circumstances. A llghly respectable nnd reliable overseer, vho managed with repute In lids vicinity >eforc tho war, informs mo that ho culll ? tiled during the past season five acres of ?plands under his own hand, having neither dough or black labor at lils disposal. Ho da ni ed without manure a common kind ol short lotion late, and in thc "lists," (first chopping ogelhcr of rows,) reports with emphasis stand is " badly missing," and the crop entirely eaten >ut by worm, in lils opinion sinking half of he same. He makes 150 pounds of lint to the icrc, and docs not think, in his Informed udgment, that thc lands could have produced iver 40 pounds lo the nero ol good ordinary toa island, say nt present market value 70 cents >cr pound. ?_ I know these fields, and think that if plant id without manure thc estimate of forty louuds of sea Islands, supposing injury BU flor !d from worms to bc one-half, is too high for he same. I have no Idea that more than slx y pounds to tho acre, without worm, could lave been safely calculated upon, and with a ale start, hurriedly planted, badly missing itand, and chopped through ni rc ad y with wovlslon crops, I think forty pounds to an icrc ls about all that could have been made. This may have been what was meant, but as my Informant ls not within my reach whilst I ?vrlto, I have ?rsi given tho statement as lt may possibly havo been Intonded. My Infor? mant says that a "stand" cnn, willi us, bc as well caught by two good furrows of tho plough, carefully thrown together, as otherwise. Ills opinions aro not only valuable on account of bis entlro reliability, but on account of his va? ried experiences, having been reared In Barn? well District, and laminar with tho cultivation thereof; afterwards removing to thu coast, whore he has hud long and thorough training and oxpcrioncu In thc sea island cultivation and lands. Ho is conclusively of opinion that uplands can bo grown to great advuntago with us, and Informed mo In this oonneotlon, that ho made before tho war five hundred pounds to tho aero on unclaimed marsh lands. Ho thinks that improved varieties, like Dickson's and others, on good land, oan produce ut least fifty por cent, moro to an aero than the com? mon uplands. Tho five acre Hold cited above ls esteemed, by my informant as well aa myself, a docldedly uridcr average with us. I shall not, for the prose nt, cito further rases. Hu (lino lt to say, If i am lu error I nm fairly open to correction, and invite (As same. So shall I he glad to receive facts In any way, more confirmatory of views herein entertained, lie fore wo goon, let us Instituto hore a compari? son or so between this yield as above on under average lands, sud under circumstances so un? favorable, and tho average that South Carolina and other States reached with slave culture thon a comparison between valuo of upland crop with valuo of 'possible soa Island crop on samo Held.

Sumner Drcadctl War willi Spain.i A prominent member of the Cubau Junia bas furnished Hie correspondent of Hie New York Tribune with tho following siuiemciiu relating to steps taken by our government, which con? stitute in the opinion of the Cuban leaders a virtual recognition of the existence of the re? public of Cuba, os well its a positive pledge to do lt formally. ? About Hie latter par?of June last Secretary Fish sent for J. Momies Lennis, Hm accredited agent of thc Cuban revolutionists, who wns then In tills city. Mr Lennis responded at once. The Interview oeened by Mr. Fish pro? posing tho good ollioes bfthe United Slates in endeavoring to elle cl h ?**?Hjement of the civil war in Cuba, ami lo that, lind Ibo secretary laid before Mr. Lennis a'''all of Ovo proposi? tions to bc submitted to lite Spanish Govorn ment through ' lenora! Sickles, who had Just sailed for Madrid. Those propositions wero in substance printed some weeks later In Hie New York papers. One i.". I hose articles pro? vided explicitly for til?-".?uoilllon of slavery. Mr. Lemus, speaking for hts government, ask? ed what would be Hie result If Spain refused the propositions, which In bis opinion, was certain lo be the rcs d'* Mr. Lemus told .Secretary Fish Hurt he knew tho Spanish Covemmcnt, having lived lintier lt, to bc more treacheries and dishonest than any other. He was, ticicl'oio, unwilling to accept the proposed intervention unlit he knew what would follow the refusal he ex? pected. Mr. Fish's reply wus nn unhesitating avowal that in such a case recognition vf the lie public of Cuba bj tho United Slates would follow. With that understanding. Mr. Lemus gave his written assent to tho propositions submitted io bim by Mr.,FIsh. Thal assent is is .JW on iib; In thc State department, while Mr. Lemus retains lu hhs possession the draft or Mr. Fish's propositions prepared at the De? partment, and- written ,on tho olllrial paper used lhere. Mr. Lennis, on returning tu New York, assembled thc J nita at the Graiucrcy Park Hotel, und told .them of lils .success. This was on the 4th of July. They confidently looked forward to recognition, believing wim Mr. Lemus Hint Spain would not yield a Btmighllorward itsscnt-?:o the propositions. Thc sequel showed their suspicions cor? rect. The proposals were mode through Heno ml Sickles. Thc ii, m ul sh Government made two or three additional propositions, which were sent here.; Thc main points In these were that the- Cubans should lay down their arms boh J unv other action was taken. That cornual willi, Spain pre? tended that sl-.e was rca?)' to abolish slavery, to give Cu'>a independen..c If lhat result was demanded uv the popula, vote. When Hmso conditions caine back. Mr. Lemus nt once de? clined the one requiring thc Cubans to lay down their arms, dcclfnug thal lt would be worse than folly, for no udr vote could be ob? tained willi Hie Island under control of Span? ish bayonets. Thcsn conditions wero thus de? clined about thc 10th of August. Then follow? ed thu famous Sickles note, und the subsequent excitement lt created lu Spain, In which even tho Republicans of that country, hllhcrto friends of Cuba, wero -compelled lo yield lo thc clamor. Tho Addlmcnt of tho promiso of thc administration Hint recogni? tion should follow the refusal of Spain was contldently expected by tho Junta carly In September. A Cabinet meeting.was held, it being thu last attended [by General Rawlins. Provioiusly Secretary Fish had sent for Mr. Le? mus to visit him at Garrison's Landing. There Mr. Lennis was made acquainted with tho con? dition oftho Madrid imbroglio and returned lo New York much elated. .. t tho Cabinet meet? ing In September, the C'?: -ns were informed that a question at onei>|||dtsV^ over the quos ney-Gene'raTl??ar taking ground Bl?e?uousTy against lt. General Rawlins speaking earnestly for it. While thu debato was going on, thc President wns observed writing, and after it closed he pushed the paper towurd Mr. Fish, saying, "There Is my decision." It was read, and contained directions Tor the Issue of n proc? lamation of belligerency on tho 30lh of Sep? tember. There was nothing more to bc said. Of course the Cubans who wero Inform? ed or this were In great delight. Whnl tollowed ls, of course, but matter of conjecture on their part. Tho 30th of September passed and no proclamation came, lt ls tho belief of my Informant that thc administration was driven from its prom? ised po illina by the Spanish threats of war and hy a belief that England and France were in some way supporting thu Illuster of Marshal Serrano's tul ministration. It will not bo for? gotten that reports of Hiich a coalition wore received about that time from Kurone. Mr. Sumner has recently stated to different, per? sons in substance thal a recognition of Cuba would havo been likely lo Involve war with Spain, which must lie In Hu: main on Ibu ocean, and thal it was a serious responsibility tn meet with our great debt, our almost ruined shipping interests, mid a large amount of do? mestic rtisnueclton which might be lound em? barrassing In such an event us a foreign war. It is certain thal from the dale of General Rawlins' death thc administration hos been unfriendly to Cuba. These statements nru given because ll lu believed that thu papers referred to as bearing ou thc subject, now In tiossesslun ot the Slain Department, will not >c sent into the Senate. Their publication will bu deemed Incompatible willi tho public Interests. All the members of the Cuban Junta and Ihc Legation of thc Republic have left Washington except ono gentleman who remull?s beru for thu sole purpose of answering questions for Information regarding the revolution which may bo propounded by Congressmen.

Thc arrest was made and thc prisoner returned to police headquarters, where au onicer was dep? utized to guard him across thc city bridge lo thc Carolina lino und deliver Mm Into thc in.mis of thc Carolina authorities. While being thus conveyed, thc sympathies of O. A. Snead, bearing thc appointment of notary public, ex ottlclo Justice, of tho peace, for ono of thc militia districts or this city, Issued by Gover? nor bullock, were enlisted in behalf of thc prison? er, mid ho protested vehemently and frequently against thc kldnnpplng of thc hog thief and his delivery to thc negro constables or Hamburg. He .m m mnocd a purpose to prevent thc transfer, and lo that cud accompanied tho ofllecrs in charge of tho prisoner to tho South Carolina linc, across thc city bridge, thc excitement Incident to thc occa? sion gathering quite a Inrgu crowd of negroes as un escort, anxious lo witness thc result. Arrived at the Hue of transfer, thc oillcors detnilcd for Hie purpose turned the fugitive ever 1 ii Spencer, thc iicfet?constablo. and his assistant, who proceed? ed to escort their truant bini io lils old quarters In Hamburg. Thc Georgia justice hero resolved to follow and protect the prisoner. Thc constable had proceeded but a short distance from the railroad bridge with their charge, when thc ahurp report of a pistol was heard, tired by Snead, who Immediately turned lils face Gcorgiaivard, re? treating In good order to this side. Spencer Im? mediately drew his pistol and pursued, cullini: upon tho crowd to stand clear, as he did not wish to shoot any one bul Snead, who bad nrcd nt him. At. this Juncture a couple of olllcers from this city Interfered, and Induced Spencer not to shoot. Snead's shot took no effect on thc Carolina constable. During thc moioo thc prisoner seized thc opportunity lo make a second escape, and was making good usu of his Hine when Lieuten? ant King, or our city police, who was mounted, porsm-d and recapt ui cd him, and he was com? mitted to prison In Hamburg. Wo trust .this conflict of thc Judiciary of <;car? gill, and the constabulary or South Carolina, cnn bo adjusted by tho Governors nf Hie respective States, without Congressional interference, or a resort to thc last argument of kings. " Lei us have peace." In thc afternoon Justice Snead getting consid? erable Christmas in lils bones, discharged his pis? tol from lils oMcc on Monument street, as police? man Mosher was passing. This act was reported at police hcailquatcrs, whereupon Chief of l'olive Christian ordered his arrest and conllncmcnt ns a very unsafe peace oillecr, la consequence of which, he waa entertained at thc city's expense lust night. -The nctnal depth of waler In the Suez Canal has been telegraphed to London by Lloyd's special agent ut Alexandria.
