COLUMBIA, S. C. Suniay Morning. January 31,1869. Serious Condition Int Cab*. The late advices from Cuba exhibit a sad state of things, oausod by the hostility be? tween the Cuban and the Spanish faotions, and by the recklessness and brutality of the Spanish volunteers. The feud between tho Spaniards and the Creoles is an old one, the former holding all the offices and looking down upon the natives with pretty much the same .contempt that was felt in the colonial days here by English residents for the provincials. The Spanish merchants transact most of the commeroe, but do not identify themselves -with the island beyond what their interests demand, their motto being, "Five years of privation and a for? tune." The Baltimore Sun states that the Cro?lo merchants and planters are among the most intelligent and enterprising of the population. Their feelings towards the Spaniards have boen very muoh akin to those of oar forefathers towards the English in the days preceding the revolution. They feel that they are only wanted by Spain for what can be got out of them in taxes to support a horde of Spanish office-holders and a regular army, exclusively Spanish, to keep them in subjection. Like our fore? fathers, they have found all the official avenues to a high and honorable ambition dosed against them. They have felt thc natural longing to be free, and to dispose ol their own destinies, winch is awakened ic all nations who are subjeot to oppression and misgovernment, and which Spain her? self has lately exhibited against a less rigor ous, enacting and intolerant tyranny thar, that to which Cuba has always been sub j ec ted. There would seem to bo no longei any doubt that tho mass of the Cuban peo pie have thoroughly sympathized with th( attempt at revolution which is now sup posed to be a failure. It is said that younj men of the oldest and wealthiest Cubai families have daily flocked to tho insurgen standard, and that such has been thor ardor that where they could not reach thi rebel lines overland, they left Havana fo Nassau, and thenco descended upon tin Eastern coast. Even Havana seems to b pervaded by revolutionary sympathies which aro beginning to be manifested b; occasional attempts to shoot the soldier and volunteers from the housetops, an which made an imposing demonstration i the recent funeral of Gamillo Cepeda, nativo Cuban, who had been brought in prisoner of war, and died tn captivity Thousands of tho Cubans in Havana a tended his funeral, and flowers were throw upon tho hearse and in the streets thr?ug which the procession passed. Even if tl present insurrection bo put down, it will l hard, where there is such hostility amur such a class, to keep it down, and Cuba ht always the same vantage-ground in i attempts ut independence which thc Nori American colonies had in their distan, from the mother country, with the adc tion of a powerful friend in their ov immediate neighborhood. The excess attributed to the Spanish volunteers brit to mind the conduct of a similar class Arkansas and Georgia. It is not strati; that the troops everywhere look with d: daiu and detestation upon these supersc ?iceablc lackeys of despotism, who make i in brutality what they lack iu milita training. -o A CONNECTICUT YANKEE CAUGHT.-Wh Whittlesey, the editor of the Richmo Stair. Journal, was before the Reconstruct Committee on Wednesday, says a Washii ton telegram ?D the Alexandria Qiuettc, laid great stress upon the fact that tho pi pie of Virginia were in favor of a wh man's government, and was amusingly n( plussed when Mr. Beck naively asked h whether the laws of his State- remarki that he understood ho came from Conn lieut-were not ns rigorous in the exclus; of negroes from office us any laws in e: tenet; in Virginia. We hail tho gleam of returniug suuity the land baying business of which Washington despatches give us a hint. '. Government, it seems, was trying to 1 Cuba nearly a year ago; but it has had wisdom to perceive that we may now as 1 wait the progress of events in the insur t binary Crem of tho Antilles. [New York Tribun A permanent peace with the Ind seems to bc generally conceded. The n body of General Sheridan's troops are s to bc withdrawn from the plains and < cent rated at Fort Leavenworth for distr tion to other points, and nearly all Indians are expected to go to their rcsc tious.
