THE CAUSE OF CUBA.
General Review or tue Military Situa?
tion In the Island-Canses, Effects
anti Future Cbanccs of Military Move?
ments.
The Havana correspondent of the New York
Times writes under date of March IC :
We are at present in a state of comparative
uncertainty regarding the probable course of
evenvs, or the turn affairs may take. Sympa?
thizers with the Cuban cause are quiet, and
appear to be satisfied with the news they re?
ceive from home and abroad. The Spaniards
.onllnue to believe that the revolution is over,
and that only Isolated and powerless bands of
insurgents remain in the field.
GENERAL JORDAN.
General Jordan's head-quarters were at
Maganboinba last week, and he is now in the
Caunao region. Jordan is undoubtedly a
very able man. but li' rumor ls to be believed
he ls thoroughly disgusted with the so-called
civil administration or House of Representa?
tives. C?spedes gives no 6ign of life, and cer?
tainly has not emown any talent as a military
leader.
Jordan is hampered in his movements by
the orders o? thc President or other executive
bodies, that is to say, ll the intercepted corres?
pondence of different Cnban leaders give a
correct view of the matter. That some of this
intercepted correspondence has been of great
use to the Spaniards ls abundantly proved by
the failure of Jordan's well-contrived and care?
fully worked-out plan to prevent the Spanish
troops from leaving thc Cinco Villas or advanc?
ing from Puerto Principe to the very centre ot
the Cuban strongholds.
PROSPECTS.
Both parties will be compelled to undergo
much privation and many SUIT? ; iags before
either will be enabled to say that Hie day ls
theirs. The idea ol many Spaniards that the
revolujOon will be over before May, is simply
preposterous. There is no proof to warrant
such a foolish Ideu, The war will remain in a
state of abeyance from May until November.
Spain will be compelled to send about 10,000 or
more soldiers to replenish thc losses caused by
sickness, bullet, or because thc time of
the soldiers has expired. The Cubans must
make strenuous efforts to bring arms and
ammunition, and if possible some good
leaders into the country, and then the
rest of the world wiU simply bein the same
state of uncertainty as hitherto, and Mlcaw
ber-like, will wait lor something to tura up.
The insurgents appear to find little difficulty
in maintaining themselves nearly all over the
island, which thc Spaniards cannot do. There
ls an immense difference between a regidar
army and bodies of men who have scanned
?.very inch ot the country, are thoroughly ac?
climatized and know where to look for some?
thing to eat. In some parts of the Camaguez
the Cubans have been raising different kinds
ol fruits and-vcgetables, and beef being a plen?
tiful article, there is little fear of their starving.
The whole war is reduced to nothing but a
grand hunt, where superior powers of endu?
rance and cunning wiB decide.

Thc Trial of Prince Pierre Bonaparte.
TOURS, March 23.
Thc nigh Court of Justice opened at ll
o'clock. Witnesses were examined to prove
that Fouville 6ald Victor Noir slapped the
Prince in the face. The lawyers for the prose?
cution dwell with effect on some grave con?
tradictions in this testimony. A number of
policemen testified to thc remarks made by
Fouville after his arrest. Thc prosecuting
lawyer created a sensation by declaring that
thc original report of the police in this case
was not to bc found, and only a copy dated ten
days later could be produced. One witness
swore he heard Fouville exclaim, "If his plstoj
had not missed fire he would have shot the
Prince." This had a favorable effect on thc
spectators, who are evidently beginning to
lean to the cause of the Prince.
Witnesses for thc prosecution were n ex
amined. Arnould testified that Victor Noir
had no intention ol" attacking thc accused
when he went to his house.
Henri Rochciort was called as witness for
the prosecution. There was much agitation
among the spsctators at the announcement of
his nam?. Bochefort entered thc court-room
accompanied by two gendarmes, and toole his
placo on the witness-stand. He was palo but
very calm. Ho replied quietly to ?fcc Interro?
gations, and after repeating the contents of
thc letter sent to him by thc accused, which
occasioned the visit of Noir and Fouville, he
retired to the bench reserved for Journalists.
Many of thc latter Rhook bands wltb him when
he took his seat.
The wife of Louis, the brother of Victor
Noir, was called to testify. She was much
agitated. She said Victor Noir could not
have slapped the Prince, because the gloves
on his hands wore found to be intact.
Other witnesses corroborated the statement
of Arnould that Victor Noir did not intend to
quarrel with the Prince.
Moore, the reporter of the Moniteur, testi?
fied t*at the witnesses who now swear to Fou
ville's admission that Noir slapped the Prince,
did not say so at first.
Mr. Milllerc and other witnesses testified to
the physical weakness of Victor Noir, and the
improbability of his striking the Prince, as the
defence alleged.
During thc Intermission of thc court many
friends of M. Rochefort gathered around him.
The gendarmes interfered, and surrounding
thc prisoner, kept his friends back.
Thc Irish Penal Land Bill.
LONDON, March 24.
In thc Hor.se of Commons Mr. Gladstone
denied, amid much merriment, the reports
recently published in Spanish . newspapers and
elsewhere, that Mr. Bright had offered to retro?
cede the Rock of Gibraltar to Spain.
Thc bill for tho enforcement of laws in Ire
land was then taken np. Mr. Gladstone closed
thc debate. Ho was sorry to say that tho tone
of thc discussion might be classified under
three heads. 1st. Criticism of tho biil itself.
2d. Criticism of the government; and 3d.
Criticism of the motive for introducing the
bill. The state of Ireland, so far as ordinary
crime was concerned, was satisfactory. Agra?
rianism, however, was rampant. Ho took this
occasion to deny thc responsibility of much 1
that had been attributed to him. His senti?
ments toward Ireland bad been vilely mis?
represented. He admitted the injustice of
legislating for exceptional cases, but it was
wrong longer to withhold thc law of reform.
A 6trong sense of its necessity alone prompted
thc present mcasnre. Its provisions .were
strong, and ho hoped they would bo effectual.
If so, evil would soon vanish, and Parliament
might resume that beneficial legislation, on
which alone it was safe to build permanent
hopes for the future. The House then divided,
and thc bill was passed as follows: For the bill
425; against 13. The House then adjourned
until noon on Monday.

THE GREAT El GUSH SCAJfD LL.
The Upshot of tht: Famous Mordaunt
Divorce Case.
The London correspondent of the New York
Times writes :
The comments of thc press on thc Mordaunt
divorce case are very curious. Atter publish?
ing twenty or thirty columns of the most un?
pleasant and unhappy details of this affair,
because the whole puolic wauted to know what
lords and ladies and princes of thc blood were
doing, they turn about and arc shocked and
Indignant at such a revelation. A member of
Parliament appeals to thc Home Secretary to
know if such matters cannot lie hushed up, or
privately investigated. Mr. Bruce thinks not.
The English love publicity. They will greedily
print and read anything, if it has only been re?
hearsed In a court of justice. And Mr. Bruce
is of opinion that the cause of morality has
rather gained than lost by the recent expo?
sures.
That refers to the sphmdid triumph of the
Prince of Wales. As theirial went on, ho was
in such bad odor that lie was publicly hissed,
for the first time in his life, I think, at the
Globe Theatre. Ho watched the opcratiou
with great curiosity through his opera glass,
i'he Princess came to the front of thc box, and
was enthusiastically applauded. Ata volun?
teer dinner the toast to the Prince was refused
by several voices. Then bis wonderful letters
to Lad v Mordaunt were published, and he went
upon the stand and declared upon his oath
that his relation to tho lady was just what they
indicated. The next day thc Queen sent for
thc Prince and Princess to dine with her at
Buckingham Palace, and they have ever since
been living in the most affectionate relations.
So good comes ont of evil, and virtue, even in
this world, is ut times rewarded.
DANGEROUS MEANS OF FRAUD.-WC have
had in this city recently a case in which a
genuine check for a small amount was suc
ccsstully altered to one of a much larger
amonnW^nd-but for the unusual caro of thc
parties to \vnom it was offered would have
been paid. Its fraudulent character was not
suspected from anything on Its face, and was
detected only from the tact that the party of?
fering it was unknown. A check of a promi?
nent New York banker, drawn tor a small
amount, was recently altered to one ofseveral
thousands, and was paid. The alteration ls
effected first by the use of an acid, which re?
moves the entire filling in ot the blank checks
in writing ink without in the least soiling the
paper, when tho blank may bc filled at plea?
sure. We have a check before us which was
simply touched with the cork from a bottle
contatulng this acid, and the effects is thc en?
tire removal of all trace of tho words and let?
ters touched. How widely this acid may be
known we <;anrjot sav< onl thc effectual man?
ner that it does its work should put all persons
in the habit of drawing checks as well as those
paying cheeks on their guard. It is fearfully
dangerous.-Pkila?eJp'ita Luicer.

To-day, Judge Melton granted a rule on Sec?
retary Cardoza to show cause why amandemus

relating to the place o? holding courts lor

turnable on Tuesday next. Attornej'-Gencra!

Melton aro counsel for the Secretary of State,
and Pope and Haskell for thc relators. The
mandamus ls asked for upon the ground that
the Secretary of State is merely thc custodian
of acts, and has no authority whatever to cor?
rect clerical errors, after thc enrolment, ratifi?
cation and approval, and as he did erase the
word '"Barnwell" as being a clerical error, as
he believed,and inserted ''Blackville," it is ask?
ed that the court compel him to erase "'Black?
ville" and reinsert "Barnwell."
ALL ABOUT TUE STATE,
Fives in Anderson.
The Anderson Intelligencer says: "A fin
broke ont in the residence of Captain John W.
Daniels, on Mainstreet, near thc public square,
on Thursday afternoon last. The alarm brought
together a large number of citizens in thc
shortest time, and every exertion was at once
put forth to save the contents of thc burning
building, as it was apparent that efforts to ex?
tinguish the flames were useless. The fire
progressed rapidly, and lt was wit h great diill
culty that even a portion ot thc furniture was
saved. It was a large two-story frame building,
formerly need as a hotel, an d thc danger to other
buildings was Imminent. Hence, thu efforts of |
the crowd were Immediately directed to thc
protection of the residences of Mr. Henry Garri?
son and John Wilson, Esq., on the opposite
side of Main street, and the almost superhu?
man exertions of active and brave men accom?
plished this object, and in all probability saved
a goodly portion of the town. Thc residence
of Mr. Samuel Crawford, a frame building,
nearly adjoining Captain Daniel's house, was
not so lormnate, however, and wc regret to
chronicle its entire destruction also. A small
building on thc corner of the Benson lot, occu?
pied by Mr. Thos. Wildman as a marble estab?
lishment, was likewise entirely consumed. The
wind was exceedingly high at times during
the fire, and changed about in different
directions. Under the circumstances, with?
out a fire organization, It seems really won?
derful how the progress of thc devouring
element was so speedily checked. Thc loss
may be set down as follows: Captain Daniels'
residence and furniture, $750: insured for $400.
Mr. '"lawford's residence, $300; on which there
was no Insurance. Thc house occupied by Mr.
Wildman, and belonging to Mr. J. B. Earle,
$150. We are informed that Mr. Crawford
saved nearly everything, except thc house,
while Mr. Wildman secured hi? marble without
any considerable damage. Other parties met
with losses from Hie confusion incident to tho
removal ol their furniture during such a scene
ol excitement, but only in a few instances from
theft, which is common on like occasions.
.'On Sunday evening last, about dark, the
alarm of tire again rung out, and proceeding
in thc direction indicated, wc found the stable
of Mr. J. B. Clark, on Mc Duffie street, being
rapidly consumed by the flames. Prompt
measures of precaution were adopted to pre?
vent adjacent buildings from igniting, and In
a short time the lire was subdued to an extent
that afforded relief to those In probablo (Inn?
erer. It Is not known how this fire originated,
aud there are numerous speculations on the
subject. We are not inclined to think lc the
work of an Incendiary, after careful inquiry,
although this opinion may be erroneous. The
loss sustained by Mr. Clark ls inconsiderable."

ps- SALVIA'S HAIR COLORING.
An Insupurablc objection to thc continued usc ol
most or the Hair Dyes of the shops, ls the fact
that they cause. In many Instances, serious con?
stitutional effects; as no lead or saturnine poisons
aroused In "SALVIA'S HAIR COLORING," there
is not the slightest danger or palsy, neural?
gia or the scalp and race, cholle, constipation, Ac.
This eminent chemist, for many years past,
has been endeavoring to create a chemical pre?
paration that would combine thc valuable proper?
ties or a harmless, reliable coloring, and at the
same time render its use Impossible to be detect?
ed by the closest observation.
By the use or the ordinary Hair Dyes, the hair
presents a dead appearance, and it ls not noticed
at a glance that lt ls dyed.
By using this scientific compound, thc coloring
of Hie hair ls so skilfully msdifled and mellowed
as to dery detection, thus giving to the world an
article that has been long and rrultlessly sought
Tor, and guaranteed to give entire sati3ractlon.
