COLUMBIA, ?&?J?.~ Friday Morning, February 26, 1869. The rebellion io Coba does not seem to be prospering. Tho great military and naval resources at Gen. Dulce's ojpimmand, and tho skill of his managomenty are apparently beginning to got tho betterbf the rebellion. Unless tho foco of affairs changes very sud? denly, Mr. Robinson's resolution in the House to acknowledge the independence of Cuba, will be out of place, except as a com? pliment to tho dead. Thero must bo now, including volunteers, an army of moro than 00,000 men under tho command of the Cap t ai n-Gene ml, though it most ba admitted that tho volunteers give him almost as much trouble as the enemy." The ferocity of theso truly loyal mee, everywhere oxoept in the field, is almost irrepressible by tho com binod military power and characteristic tact of Gon. Dulco. Theso holiday soldiers aro howling for blood,* while the real soldier, tho man whose profession is war, has to muzzle their frothy jaws and inculcate pru dencc, self-restraiat, deliberation and fra? ternal feeling. Cowardice and cruelty go hand-in-hand, and, except for garrison duty, we apprehend that Gon. Dnlce would find his volunteers rather an incumbranoe than an aid in tho present contest. It is to bo hoped that he will persist in his announced purpose to effect the pacification of thc island within the limits of the law. It will be wise in him, the Baltimore Sun thinks, to extend tho utmost olemenoy to the rebels, considering tho real grievances under which Cuba has suffered, the clanger of rondoring permanently disaffected and vindictivo an clement of the population which has shown itself possessed of so much strength os the rebellion has developed, and also by the re? flection that tho govornmont against which Cuba has revolted, is itself a rebellion, and a rebellion mostly carried on by the military class to which Gen. Dulce belongs, and which, therefore, ought to have somo tole? ration for those who adopt that modo of redressing grievances. Gen. Dulce, it ap? pears, has declarad that he counts on the sympathy and morai aid of the United States, and Madrid cable despatches, ol' Feb? ruary 22, represent tho press of Spain as urging upon tho provisional government tho necessity of preserving tho friendship of this country. The most effioient means of effect? ing that object is, by adopting towards the Cubans a policy of conciliation and clemen? cy, for tho sympathies of our people are universally with the insurgents. -o VACANCIES IN TUE NEXT CONGRESS.-The Washington Republican says that the num? ber of vacancies in tho forty-first Congress on tho elute of its organization will be thirty, in caso Georgia is admitted, and thirty-seven in case she is not admitted. The following States entitled to representa? tion will bo unrepresented: Now Hamp? shire three, Connecticut four, Alabama six, and ono vacancy in Pennsylvania, Mr. Co vodo'.s district, where no certificate has been given by the Governor to cither can? didate, on the ground that there are no pa? pers on which such certificates can be given. He will probably certify the facts to tho House for it3 decision. In States not yet entitled to representation there will be tho following vacancies: Virginia seven, Texas four, Mississippi five. Alabama elects August 5, 1869. Tho caso of Georgia is very peculiar. By au ordinance of the Con? stitutional Convention, an election was pro? vided for members of both the fortieth and forty-first Congresses. The same members were elected to each. They were admitted to the fortieth Congress duriug tho very last day of tho second session, and aro now in their seats. Their credentials for thc forty-first Congress have not been received. Thero is now much doubt whether thc names of her members will be on thc clerk's roll on the 4th of March next, Louisiana will alio present a complicated case, but it is probable that their name will go on the roll, und that they will bi objected to as they appear to be sworn. Tho present boundary of New York city n civil engineer says, should bo ineasuroc by a circumference twouty-livo miles distan from Union Square. In 1860, tho city' population was 814,000, and the suburb within that circumference, in round nure hers, 760,000. To-day, tho city has 1,000, 000, and tho suburbs within twenty-fiv miles from Union Square, 1,225,000, thu giving this, the metropolis, fifty railes i diameter and a population of 2,225,000. Th average annual growth of the country lin been threo per cent, aud of cities fivo pe cent, for tho last eighty years, doubling th city population every sixteen years, whic would in 1884 givo a metropolitan popula tion of 4,500,000. and in 1900 of 9,000,00( --o The death of Wilkes Booth, which som have professed to doubt, is no longer question. The body, when disinterred la? week, waa fully identified by his relative from a tooth which was plugged in a peet liar mauuer. The Revolution, tho organ of the women's rights movement, gives the following as a "real oocu^reQoe,,, and vouchee for its cor? rectness. It certainly sounds very natural to ears which have heard any negro pieao'ier descant upon the subject of poli? ticos: "' "A negro preacher of tho Gospel, and ''doubtless a little' inspired, on being asked if he was in favor of woman suffrage, re? plied, with great pomp: 'No, sar, I is 'posed to dat, it will not do at all. I tell you dat do woman was de first to commit sin, sar. I tell you dat do damsel demanded de head of John de Baptist, snr. I tell you dat when God mude man, He gave de mau power over all living, and made de man boss over de womau, sar. I tell you dat God let. do man Durne ebry thing, and de mau named de womnu E'"e, because she was tho mother of all Eve-il. I tell you, sar, it will never do, sar, for I am a preacher, and my father was a preacher be? fore me, and I am a better preacher than he over dare be; I tell yon what, sar, dat I un? derstand de Biblo a good deal better before I could read, dau my old missus ever did, sar. I tell you it will never do to let dese women wote.' " Sii/Vnr PRACTICE.-The New York Demo? crat tells the following story, which will doubtless create some interest iu Georgia: A lady, it says, came to New York eily from Georgia, a few weeks since, on a most com? mendable mission, that of raising money to assist tho causo of Southern education. She had progressed finely with "her work, but a day or two since was so unfortunate as to lose her memoraudum took, which book contained, among other things, tho names of those persons upon whom tho lady had called, and iutendod to call in furtherance of her mission. Imagine her surprise, while in Brooklyn, yesterday, to ascertain that anothor party, undoubtedly having found the memorandum book, assuming thc Indy's name, and armed with forged letters of introduction, was engaged also in the laudable work of collecting money, but which moucy, so far as can be ascertained, is not very extensively devoted to the cause of Southern education. This is one of the sharp tricks, by tho practice of which thou? sands of people who aro in tho large cities, live, and is a most provoking joke. -o IMPROVEMENTS IN VELOCIPEDES.-It will be strange if ingenuity does not contrive a velocipede which will be of practical use. The instruments which now run are fit only for floors or very smooth and level roads; they may remain for awhilo a fashionable luxury, but they auswer no really useful end. It is stated, however, that a number of ingenious mechanics, in different parts of the country, are nt work upon improve? ments which they expect will make the velo? c?pedo practically useful. What is needed [or this Country is a velocipede which can be used on country roads with comfort, without too great exertion of strength, and :it such moderate speed that mon doing bu? siness in town, may use velocipedes in going between the depot and their homes, or otherwise. Tho man who contrives such a machine, will make a large fortune by it. -o CBUETJ JOKE ON GREELEY.-Senator Mat toon, one of the most prominent Republi? cans iu the New York Legislature, a few clays ago offered a preamble and resolution recommending to tho President olect tho appointment "of that model American gen? tleman and statesman, Horace Greeley, to the position of Minister to tho Court of St. Tames, this position calling for a rare union of qualities, such aa firmness of purpose with suavity and evenness of temper, great knowledge of international law, with courtly manners and polished address, long practice in thc habit of conducting controversies without heat or excitement, with a fastidi? ous and delicate regard to the rights and feelings of opponents." PERSONAL.-Among the passengers by tho schooner Sophia, from Baracoa, was Col. John Lafitte, lately in command of a portion of tho insurgent Cubans in Bara? coa, but was defeated and escaped. He was subsequently allowed to leave the island by the Spanish authorities, upon conditio!) that he should not return. He represents tho situation there as awaiting the inter? ference of the United States-all Cubans desiring our Government to have tho island. He also states that there are 20,ODO men toady to spring to arms in tho Eastern de? partment the moment Uncle Sam shows bit liand. The Colonel, at ono time, bad 1.40C men under bis command. He is as modes! and intelligent as he is bravo. [Savannah Republican, 21///. -o DOWN ON THE POPE.-A Madrid cones pondent of the New York Times, writing under dato of the 28th ult,, says during i recent demonstration, tho Papal court o arms was torn down, dragged through tin streets, and finally burned in front of tin Minister of Grace aud Justice. The Ntinci? himself, learning tho feeling of tho multi tude towards himself, very sensibly fount refuge in either the French or America] Legation. He would have suffered if ho liai fallon into the hands of the mob, which wa cryiug "Death to tho Pope," "Down wit! tho Nuncio," &c, with great vehemence Fortunately ho was not found, and tho cap ital was spared a scone that would hav tnrnished its fame forever. -o FIGHT IN CHURCH.-From tho Columbu Sun wo learn they had au amusiug figli during tho closing hours on Monday nighl in the colored conforence. They were sel ing some books, when a woman romarke it was a shame tbat books should be sold i Savannah at twenty-five cents, and in Cc bunbun at fifty. A deacon Jake nndertoo to force ber to be quiet. She pitched int him, pulled his hair and ear?, slapped Iii face, and fought him ont of the church. ] created quite a sensation. WE woola direct attention to tho advertise- ; ment of the QUAY'S FERRY FEINTING IN K WORKS, in another column. They present ?num? ber of testimonials from newspapers, speaking in the highest terms of the Ink manufactured by them. Specimens of their Ink hare been used in this establishment and havo giren entire satis? faction-Daily Telegraph, Harrisburg, Pa. GOOD PIUNTIN.?INK-A very important requisite to the production of s well printed newspaper, is a suitable ink. In printing the Bucks County In? telligencer on a fast press, wo have had to contend with a groat many difficulties in obtaining ink tiiat would give satisfaction. At present, wo are using an ink, made especially for tho Inteliigenrrr, by C. E. ROBINSON, corner* of GRAY'S FERRY ROAD and THIRTY-THIRD Streets, Philadel? phia, which comes nearor tho mark than any other we have met with. That this opinion ia shared bj* other publishers, is shown hy the following ex? tracts: PRINTER'S INK.-A Goon ARTICLE.-Tho Ink with | which this issue of The Republican is printed, is from the Gray's Ferry Printing Ink Works, of C. ?

Robinson is a practical Ink manufac? turer, liberal and courteous in all btnduoss trans? actions, and as hu has recently had thc misfortune to be burned out, we are thc more freo to recom? mend his ink and himself to tho patronage of all printers who desire a good article at very cheap rates.-Delaware Gazette. Ono of our cotcmporaries also recommends it, as follows : FINE PIUNTINO INK.-We have, for some time, been using tho Nows Ink manufactured at thu Gray's Ferrv Printing Ink Works, Philadelphia, hy 0. E. Robinson, and. as stated somo weeks ugo, have found it better adapted to our presses than any ink wo havo had in our ofiieo for ton years.

Their address is Gray's Ferry Poad and Thirty-third street. - llagerstoirn Herald. Wo never recommeud an article in these columus unless it roaily merits it, and to learn whether our own opinion of tho Ink tho Tax-Payer is now using, coincided with our pressman's, we inquired his estimate. He replied, "Good, very good;" and as we never know him to deviate from the truth, we inform our fellow-printers that this was said of Robinson's Philadelphia Printing Ink. t Tar-Payer, New York. We have recently been nsing for our newspaper, tho Ink manufactured at Gray's Ferry Printing Ink Works, by C. E. Robinson, and as it gives the best satisfaction, wo cordially recommend it to our brethren of the presB generally. [The American, Media, Pa.

Benevolent ladies in Paris are experiment? ing on a'larger seale, us follows: There aro 1,000 prostitutes in tho St. Lazairo prison. The ladies who take au interest in these fallou women, endeavor to make matches between such of them as are discharged and such unmarried males as are simulta? neously liberated from city prisons, offeriug a premium of 300 francs to such couples as a dower. Thirty-five couples have thus been joined with the best results, and as a reforinutory movement the plan is consi? dered successful.- World. The Bcv. Dr. Joseph P. Thompson de? clares that if womeu aro permitted to vote, our political contests will acquire a new character. The New York World interprets this to ineuu that the women will say hard things of each other. But can they say harder thiugs than the men say of each other? The difference is that, what the meu say about each other is generally true, whereas, one dear creature troubles herself very little that wbut ?he says of another dear creature is the expression of cveu thc semblance of a fact. This being under? stood, all the severe things that they might say, could be taken iu purely a Pickwickian sense. A neat specimen of the slashing st3-le iu literary criticism, is the following notice of Captain Clayton's Book ou Spain, from the Pall Mall Gazelle: "Not worth the trouble of cuttiug the leaves. An utterly uncalled for account of a rapid railway journey right through from Havre to Yaleucia, with nj snatch at the Balearic Isles, and a dash home by Barcelona and Perpignau. Thc mere idle scribbling of a chattering traveler on a beaten road, doing towns in the inter? vals allowed for refreshment, and eking out bis original matter by hashed guide-book. Occasionally vulgar; often flippant; general? ly sill}'; always stupid." -o The Michigan Lunatic Asylum is pro? vided with a green-house, iu which there are at all times Howers iu full bloom. Meu brought to the institution in irons, aud manifesting tho most violent symptoms of insanity, have been suddenly calmed down to a condition bordering on sanity by the presentation of a boquet gathered from tho green-house. Music is known to possess the power of calming tho most violent lu? natic. Between music and flowers, it would appear that all cases of raving madness eau be modified and ameliorated, if not tho? roughly cared. -o Tue New York Tribune is very severe upon tho proposition to pay tho Southern carpet-bag Senators two years' pay for six mouths' service, and threatens "to print, in very conspicuous type, for the contempla? tion of their credentials, the names of the men who lond themselves to it."

Menard, tho colored Congressman from Louisiana, the House Committee on Elec? tions have decided cannot "come in." Of course. In South Carolina a majority of the Legislature may be composed of ne? groes; but Congress is too good for even one of them. ANDREW JOHNSON'S BACK UR.-It is an nounced by the President's friends that if the Senate persists in refusing to recognize him by declining to net upon his business, he will sign no more bills of any kind, but let everything die. SHAMEFUL-.-A correspondent of the Chi cago Republican declares that the elegant apartmeut opposite the door-way of tho United States Sonate Chamber is "noto? riously the greatest assignation place in Washington." Charles Earl, a physician of Chicago, is being tried iu that city on charges preferred by bis wife of being a professional child murderer. Some physicians of New York have been recently advocating the ronewal of the an? cient custom of burning tho dead, instead of burying them. A single artesian well supplies all the water used at Fond-du-Lac, Wisconsin. As much can't be said for other liquids used in that moist burgh.

F2CUt3 "BIRD IN HAND," &C.-In life assurance the prorniso of future dividends is not as safe and sure as cash possession. All mu? tual cash companies promise to give divi? dends in one, two, threo and five years, payable at death- olwayB preferred or ap? plied to tho reduction of premiums. Now. this promised dividend, in connection with its power to rednce tho premium, must be looked into, and this fact will be established. If the premiums charged in matuarconi panic8 are paid, with the expeotation at a futuro day of receiving a dividend, indefi? nito in amount, and uncertain in its charac? ter and time of payment, then it follows that the premiums so charged is largely in oxcess of the notual cost Of insurance; and that life assurance can be had at a oheaper cost. The people are charged too much for insurance. THE NATIONAL LIFE IN? SURANCE COMPANY offer, now the cheapest rates, upon the broad principle of scouring the largest amount at the smallest cost. Farmers, planters, mechanics, and all who desire to secure something worth having, are invited to examine the new fea? tures of tables and rates in the National Life Insurance Company.
