From Spanish sources, evidently, a number of dieters have accumulated round the voyage of; che George B. Upton. It now appears by the latest advices thar the vessel, with her lading of war mat?riel and combatants, hos ia ade another safe landing on the Cuban coast. The rumor of her total loss appears to have been as baseless as the intelligence which Bent oat a number of gunboats to. find her cast ashore. Nett to the barbarity attending this anhappY straggle must be reckoned the men? dacity of most of the dispatches which arrive (brough Spaui.-h channels. i0-A menagerie' was exhibited in Saginaw -City last Wednesday. The moving tale of a monkey then, and there, is short. Leaving the protecting arm's of its maternal parent, a slmious Iajfaiit roved from cage to cage, cling? ing to the wires with quadrumanous agility and prehensile grace. With the dexterity that the trapeze performers vainly emulate, the in? fantile phenomenon sprang upon the bars that guard the cage of a lioness. The latter, not appreciative of circus gymnastics, or perhaps ennuy?e with having seen so much of them since leaving Africa, put out a paw and pulled the infant into her cage. The rest was an Affair-of two bites and two screams-one of the latter Irom the unhappy mother, who looked on from her distant cage. Moral for young monkeys-don't trille with "females" that are before the public. -There was an bid negro woman called "Jane," "for short," who announced to the negroes.near. .Springfield, Lime'stone County, Texas, that the millennium would take place, ??d the "mighty ship ot Zion" would come dowe to .toke up to glory those who complied w?lhh?r directions, on the 26 th of May.jtfn ^accordance with her Instructions, preached to .a large congregation, the.bellever3 burnt one ttudf of ali their worldly possessions In a bl* bonfire, hoed up by the roots and destroyed half their growing crops, (corn and cotton) ?ave away half their children, Sec. They then disrobed entirely, and danced a "holy dance.' Afterward they did one sensible thing-they killed all their dogs. Jane then proposed, it is said, that they should eat the dog meat; but they hesitated, and she did not succeed very w/eU in the attempt herself. Finally she pro? ceeded to measures with a view to sacrificing her own child, an infant. At this point thc proceedings were Interrupted by those who . lacked faith in her ministry, and Jane was ar? rested and restrained irom further preaching, l/belr neighbors are helping the unfortunate couverts to replant their ruined fields, and ma?'e up, so far as possible, their losses. -!.The great Darien Canal expedition has been .seriously retarded in its progress recent? ly in consequence of excessive rains, which were of dally occurrence and very heavy, swelling the streams to torrents. In conse ' quence ol* the Immense fall of water, it bad been diflica lt to keep thc working parties at the front supplied with provisions. The latest advices from the advance force indicate that thc highest land elevation found was 309 feet, the elevation of the river's bed b*lng 295 feett The surrounding country was very rugged and difficult. Donkey transportation had been abandoned, and provisions for the working party were sent forward in small quantities on the backs of the men. On the lGth of.May one of the marine guard, returning from the frontr willie swimming a river, was chased by two large alligators, and with- difficulty escaped. The general health of the-explorers had been fair, no sickness having appeared except fever and ague; the men, however, were becoming dissatisfied with Captain Selfridge's determina? tion to prolong their stay on the isthmus; the officers, also, complain that their endurance has been taxed to the utmost, and that longer stay in such a climate will be extremely dan? gerous._ Look at their Record ! The broad .and comprehensive policy of the Union Reform party, and the unmistak? able determination of the people to obtain, through that party, an honest, able and economical administration of the affairs of the State, have already carried alarm into the ranks of the enemies of good govern? ment. These abandon iu haste their old lines of defence, while the organ of the Scott Ring, with aD industry worthy of a better cause, hastily constructs a new platform which will, it is hoped, be broad enough and strong enough to hold up the manifold sins and wickednesses of the present rulers of the State. Daunted by the indignant words of an injured people, the Ring are ready to promise anything and everything. Just in the same way they paved their polit? ical path with fair declarations two years ago. But their pledges stand unredeemed, their every promise is broken, and it is our right to judge them now by the light of what they have done, and not by what they gush? ingly and glibly promise. The contrite thief should be forgiven, but he shall not receive the keys of the plate-chest until time has proved the sincerity of his repentance. The organ of the Scott Ring resolves, as a portion of the platform of the Ring, that (1) dishonesty or indolence in office is a crime against the people: that (2) monopolies must be steadily and uncompromisingly opposed; that (3) exemption from taxation must be opposed; that (4) tue debt of the State must be fully and promptly paid; that {5) the edu? cation of the children of the Staten's of paramount importance; that (6) theexpen-. ditures of the government must be reduced to the lowest figure consistent with efficiency, and that the next Legislature must reduce the burden of taxation. 1. "Dishonesty or indolence in office isa "crime against the people." All the State officials have, in two years, accumulated large fortunes, although their salaries are small and they were poor mon when they were elected. The principal members of the Legislature live iu extravagant style, and set hardly any limit to their expenditure. During the sessions of the Legislature vote3 are bought and sold like catfish in the Charleston market A large sum af money ($50,000 is said to be the amount) was paid for the passage of one bill. The more im? portant committees declined to report upon certain bills and resolutions, which were re? ferred to them, unless they were paid for their trouble. A sum of $200,000 was ap? propriated for the Land Commission, and out of that sum about $560,000 is declared to have been spent, leaving the State a lia? bility of $300,000 beyond the appropriation. The late Land Cominisoioner is charged with having signed warrants for $120,000 iu pay? ment for ai tract of land ' which cost only $30,000-the responsibility for this proceed? ing is borne, wholly or in part, by tho high officials of the State. Tho debt of Hie State (exclusive of the $1,000,000 to be guaran teed for the Blue Ridge Railroad) is increased more than $4,000,000 in two years; and the general expenses of the State Government rise from $314,580 in 1867 to $721,169 for the current year. We charge that these facts prove that the Scott Ring are guilty of "dishonesty and in? dolence in office, * and that they are, there? fore, guilty of "aprime against the people." 2. "Monopolies must be denounced and "opposed." The Legislature, at its last ses? sion, granted an exclusive privilege to a phosphate company which, it must be ad? mitted, paid tt heavy price for securing the passage of the bill. 3. "The exemption of rich corporations "from taxation must be opposed." This is nothing new. The difference between the Ring and the Reformers is only this-the Ring insist that all corporations shall be taxed whom they desire to tax; the Reform? ers take the ground that all corporations shall be taxed who can legally be taxed. 4. ' ' The debt of the State must be fully and "promptly paid." This is admitted on all sides, but the Ring have added KO UK MIL? LIONS to the debt in two years. They have brought the State lo thc verge of bankrupt? cy, and now piously declare that the debt must be paid. A simple resolution "topay "the debt" is not enough. Whatever the willingness of the people, the debt cannot be puid unless its increase be stopped. The people canuot bear unlimited taxation; they cannot long endure the load of taxation now pressing them down to ruin. And the Ring have already proved that while they are de? termined enough, in words, to pay the debt, they do, in fact, increase the amount of that debt every year, and so make its fiual ex? tinction more and more difficult, if not im? possible. 5. "The education of the children of thc "State is of paramount importance." This wo all know and admit, but during the two years of their power, the Ring have done nothing for the education of the children of the State. (1.) An ordinauce of the Consti? tutional Convention, dated "March IC, 1868, instructs the General Assembly to provide for the appropriation of the Citadel and grounds in Charleston for educational pur? poses. This has not been done. (2.) The public schools of Charleston are at the point of 3Uspen3ion. These spools cost $40,00? a year, and the Legislature appropriated only 550,000 tor the whole Slate? The pro? portion for Charleston County, Lndading the City schools,- is only $7000. (3.) Senator Cain, who is nothing if not bold ami- out? spoken, and who is, besides, a stauncti-sup? porter of Governor Scott, declares thai the Ring "do nothing for the education of'the "people," and that "there are not sch sols "in one out of every dozen districts within-a "county, outside-the cities." The Ring cannot affofd to educate the peo? ple, but tliey increase the general expenses of the State Government from $154,SOO ts $611,890, and the amount paid for salaries from $50,000 to'$167,0001 The Ring can pay their hangers-on;, but they will not give the | young children oMhe State that education, without which they- cannot become intelli? gent and valuable members of the political commuuity. 6. "Expenditures andi taxes must be re "duced." This-must be-done, but the Ring will not do it. (li) The-State taxation is1 double what it wife two years ago. (2.) The expenditures are four timos as much as in 1867. (3.) The-General Assembly costs | $145,000 instead of $43*,000. (4.) The sala? ries of the Ring are trebled, and, (5,) thecur~\ rent expendiiteres of the Ring Government ] were in 1869, (their second year, )just $300, 000 more titan tn 1S6&. This is the past record of the Ring,, and Senator Nash,, whose devotion to the- Ring is undoubted; told a mass-meeting at Gadsden's Station*, the other day, what was to be the future policy of hie part}*. He called the attention of his hearers to t*v* lands lying thereabout, the buildings, &c.y and said: "Why, this-is "our property; we earned it; we've naver "got anything for our work; and the only "leay to. get what belongs to us is, TO. TAX '"THESE.FELLOWS FOR LANDS, SCHOOLYARD; "ALL THAT. " The plain English of which is, that the Ring intend, in spite of their lying words, TO TAX THE WHITE PEOPLE, the land-owners, OUT OF THE STATE. We have now tested the strength- of every plank in the new platform of the Ring. Against words we have set faets. And these facts speak trumpet-tongued to the people, aud tell them that if they do not as they can-defeat the Ring in October, the people have nothing to expect but more dishonesty and indolence in office, more class legislation, more additions to the debt, more and more taxation, more corruption, more extravagance, and more infamy and wrong. Trouble In the Camp. The little knot of small politicians who have it in charge to bolster up the preten? sions of the Scott Ring in Charleston, and who, in consideration of their disinterested services, have promptly and invariably grab? bed every office in this city worth the having, are just now in astute of fearful trepidation. In the rapidity with which the Union Re? form movement, day by day, gains strength among the masses, \ they see the certain doom of all their .hope*.;; They are, there? fore, frantically striving 'tp organize ward clubs, and drumming np, with a zeal worthy of a bettor cause, the poor deluded victims of "The Party." But it is very plain that even in these packed gatherings, everything is not quite as lovely as might be wished. The meeting in Ward No. 3, we are told by the mouth-piece of the Ring, was "stormy," and it is declared that such doings must be "nipped in the bud." At another ward raeetiug, R. C. DeLarge denounced the Ring, "which, in view of the circumstances, "sounded very strange to mauy of those 'present." Another meeting resolved to "sustain no man for office unless he is a 'man of unquestionable integrity and veraci? ty, and to reject and oppose the nomiua 'tiori of one and all of those men who, 'when in office, by accepting bribes and "other dishonest acts, have disgraced the 'party aud thc people who elected them to .office.'' This is what we call stealing Reform thun? der. It is pitiable to uote the pleadings of the Scott organ in deprecation of these 'side issues" and "factious objectioua." Good for Marlon! The Marion Star, ever prompt and clear? sighted, where the interests of the State are concerned, displays the Carpenter andaBut ler flag, and declares that the line will be sharply drawn in that district between the partisans of the Scott Ring and the sup? porters of the Union Reform movement. There will be no middle ground. * Sot Sale. FOR SALE.-I HAVE ON HAND AND 'for sale another supply of second-hand Sewing Machines, of various makers, which I will dispose of very cheap.
