Tele?rapn. Cabio Dcipaltne?. ' ' HAVANA, March 24.-The insurgents aro massing on the South Side Islands. The inhabitants demand more troops. The Go? vernment is silent regarding the movement of troops. Tho American orig Harry Low? ell was captured at Bagged leland. The Peruvian monitors remaiu at Bagged Island. Daring tho voyage one of the monitors rammed the steamer Havana, sinking her; and ?even of the Havana's crew wore drowned. -o- I Affairs tn Washington. WASHINGTON, March 24.-Eighty-two miles will completo the Pacific Builroad. In the House, a motion to extend the time for evidence in the contested electiou between W. H. Strndler and Eggloston, from Cincinnati, was defeated. The mo? tion was in the interest of Stradler. Pain introduced a bill punishing civil or military officers having the power, but fail? ing to enforce, the fourteenth amendment, with fine and imprisonment. Butler re? ported on the Mississippi bill. Beck moved to amend by granting the President power to appoint a Provisional Governor. Farns? worth gave notice that he would move to postpone till next session. Beck addressed the House in opposition to the bill, when the House adjourned. In the Senate, the tenure of office bill passed, to the following effect: Tho Presi? dent may suspend, during the recess, and appoint another tc perform the duties-re? porting the suspension, within thirty days after the next meeting of Congress, and nominating a successor. If the Senate re? fuse to confirm the nomination, and also, by vote, disapprove of the suspension, the suspended officer, at the cud of the session, shall resumo his office. The President need give no reason for suspensions. After ex? ecutive session, adjourned. A Senate caucus agreed to suspend the tenure of office for four years. It is re? ported that Grant accepts this solution, but the repealers are stubborn, and the result is doubtful. Thc omnibus bills removing I disabilities in the Constitution ou a parti? san basis will not pass; tho opposition is thoroughly organized and at a dead lock, until some general amnesty bill is adopted. .T??-vrH Items.

A flgh. occurred nt Fort Lyons, New Mexico, on Thursday night, between white and colored soldiery in which several mon were killed and fivo or six wounded. When a man has feathered his nest, you will generally find that he also plumes him? self upon it. How true is it, therefore, that "riches take unto themselves wings." now should the limbs of tho law bo clothed? In bleaches of promise.-Judy. FAlMaUttg Prospecta. An intelligent . planter from Bed River, who employs alargo number of operatives, informed us, a few days ai noe, that the pros? pects of cotton pinn tors in his region, and, in foot, throughout the State, are quito flat? tering; and he undertakes to predict a fu? ture of prosperity to tho South greater than we have ever enjoyed before. We have bo doubt that tho high price which our royal staple, cotton, commands in the markets of the world, has furnished a certain founda? tion for his hopes. "When wo aro ourselves prosperous, and reap a rich reward for our labor, wo are auimated with a species of en? thusiasm, and encourage the expectation sometimes delusive-that the heavens will always smile upon us, and earth throw its treasures into our laps. Cotton, as it seems to us, is something like Fortuue, whom tho poets represent as sitting on n rolling stone, When the nriny worm spreads its desolations, or tho seasons are unfavorable, his majesty occupies an uncertain position, topples over, and buries his proud head ia dust and ashes. Unin? terrupted prosperity is not the lot of mau, however sanguine. Wo have no wish, how? ever, to damp the ardor of our friends, who, relying on the crops of the last season, and the current value of tho commodity, look forward, with a kindling glauco, to tho fu? ture. There is something in the recent ac? tivity of tho colton market that is exceed? ingly cheering-something which imparts new life to all kinds of business; and which, as coming events cast their shadows before, may well provoke prophecy to utter its ora? cles in u tone of incipient triumph. It would be well for us, however, always to remember what tbe wise mau says: "In the day of prosperity rejoice! In the day of adversity consider!" The maxim, though uttered some thousands of years ago, is HS true to-day as when it was first enunciated. Thc experience of tho past may also justify us in somewhat changing tho phraseology, so ns to read: "In tho day of prosperity consider! and because your freedmen have worked well, aud you havo raised remune? rating crops during tho last season, do not rush madly into tho in tels tro m of uncertain, and often ruinous, sp?culation." The reason assigned by our planter for this prospective prosperity is, strange tu say, not the magnitude of the last crop, but the abolition of slavery at the South, nod the inauguration of tree labor. A few I years ago, at least, this would have beeu strange doctrine in thc mouth of a planier who looked to his own interests. We were generally of opinion, here, that the relations of the two races were just what they should be, as far ns the interests, well-being and advancement of both races were involved. Aud so, in many respects, they were. Rut one great evil, not a moral, not a political, but, so to speak, a financial one, resulted from the institution of slavery. It induced the plunter to cultivate too much land, ir order to raise larger crops, and to purchase, from year to year, more negroes, nuder tin mistaken idea that negroes constituted thc most reliable and productive capital ir which money could bo invested. War and the abolition of slavery hav< dissipated that fallac}-, never to be enter taiued again. We have now at length dis covered that the continued purchase of no groes, whenever a new crop came in, fo: which there was a perfect furore through out the Sonth, was a most exhausting pro cess, and what with the fluctuation in thei value, often reduced tho planter to bank rnptcy or left his estate insolvent. Undo the new regime, be may amass money will every new crop, which he may safely iuvost or employ it in thc improvement of hi lands, the education of his children, um the in?rense of bis domestic comforts That a great and beneficial change is thu to be effected io. tho condition of th plauter, the state of trade, iu manufactur?e railroad enterprises, and all branches c business-in u word, in the whole future c the Sonth, cannot be doubted. Another reason for this prospective pros perity is to be found in tho fact that w have just now-so to speak-turned over new leaf. Out of this disorganization c society, wo have, ns it were, commenced new history, aud tho South, with its vat resources aud unconquerable energy, placed anew upon its mettle. That it wi vindicate moro than its post fame, and rene more than its former height of prosperity who that looks about him, and cousidei the materials with which we have to worl can doubt?-New Orleans Times. -o Ex-President Johnson arrived at his ol j home in Greenville,Tenn., on Saturday, whr ho received a warm reception from his ol neighbors. In reply to tho addresses pr Rented, Mr. Johnson .said that his admini tration had been stormy and tempestuou because ho had been buttling in behalf i the Constitution. Ile was now a fret mau-freud from tho boudago of admini bering tho Government under a violati Constitution. Congress was a body usurpors.

" fkftnfaERN MERCHANTS IN NEW YORK. The Tribune, of Saturday, say*: "The he? gira of merchants and business men from the South is jost beginning, and a larger trade from them than usual is looked for dnring the next two weeks. Most of the Southerners are baying this season for cash down, and have, moreover, the gratifying I advantage of standing well ns to credit. No longer reckless, as of yore, they are making their purchases with marked discretion and prudence. Those from the interior of the South, as well ns from Virgiuia and North Carolina, have not yet arrived in town; only tho deniers from the largo seaboard cities, from Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans, have been on to buy. New Orleans, which aloue has received already 800,000 bales of tho last year's cotton crop, has been especially a large buyer. Owing to the very remunerative crops gathered in that section during tho past year, the South is credited with moro sparc cash thau the West. The best informed parties from tho extreme States, from Florida, Louisiana aud Texas, report * -denty of money' in tho in? terior of th dry, far moro thau ever has been biuce Hie close of tho war, although tho entire crop of cotton has not yet been sent into market, ns some plauters are still holding on for higher prices. The South? erners seem at last to have learned the wis? dom of work nud ecouomy, and they are reported to be investing their surplus change in railroads, stocks, and other like remunerative works." --o SLAVERY THE MAIN-SPRING OF OCR NA? TIONAL PROSPERITY.-Senator Sprague, on Friday, made the following remarkable ad? mission-remarable as coming from a New England Republican. Ho said: "Tho main-springs of our prosperity had been slavery and foreign immigration. The former had stimulated the growth of cotton and made it au American monopoly, nnd so had built up the manufacturing and com? mercial and railroad interests of tho North, and theso had, in turn, invited and grown upon foreign immigration." Again. He said: .'The object of the majority in Congress seemed to ba rather to perpetuate the exist? ence of a party than to promote the welfare of the people; but no party could have his support which did not make tho prosperity and contentment of tho people its duel object. A party which failed in this, failed in the great purpose for which alone it had a right ti? exist." Tm; LAST FROM PRENTICE.-Presiden! (Irant's appointments maj- be expected tc increase rapidly. They are all iu the tami ly v ay. Gen. Longstreet's cause was defeated ii the war. He accepted the situation. Ht has been offered thc New Orleans Surveyor ship. Again he accepts the situation. Presideut Grant's father is recovering from the injuries caused by his late fall. W< hope that the sou will recover from tho.* caused by his late rise. When Bishop Simpsou presented a can to Gen. Grant, with a coniplimcntar; speech, the General replied that be hopei he should never have occasion to use tb cane, but if ho ever toed: it with him, bi would probably forget it at the first place li went to. Bismarck, in his congratulatory telegram on inauguration day, hit home, withou meaning it, perhaps, when he Styled th President "President General Grant." -o Five Pawnee Indians recently went t Ellsworth, Kausns, when some rowdie called upon them to surrender. Two t them did so, but tho three others attempt ed to escapo, whereupon they were nut and scalped. Next day, twenty Pawne* came into Ellsworth aud threatened 1 burn tho towu uuless the murderers ? their friends were surrendered. They wet frightened away by some troops wh were hastened to the town.
