COLUMBIA, S. C. tm ,^iwrt99f?'ftf'^ n*** w^y " "" "*** -==F=r^=?-r-T--v.-,-f CUBA.- Lottere bave . been1 reoeiveti from the Cuban expedition which left New York about a month ng'o and landed in the Bay of Nipo, Cuba. . There is said to havo been a large steamer, and a smaller steamer, the Perot, engaged in thia enterprise. Th? latter, being of light draught, was enabled to make tripe to the landing place in tho bay, trans? ferring from the large vessel the arms, ammunition, artillery and the-whole ex? peditionary force to the.' shore. The larger vessel is claimed to have been the Arago, which sailed from New York on the 4th of May, having, as was al? leged, nearly 1,000 armed men on board, 1,000 stand of arms, and 60,000 rounds of ammunition. The oorrespondence of the Tribune and New York kundery ive irs from the Bay of Nipe, May 12, give in? teresting sketches of the arrival and landing of the expedition and of the military operations heretofore reported by telegraph, and which had resulted at the date of the letters in the defeat of a Spanish force which had attacked the .expedition. The .fillibasters, many of them said to be ex-soldiers of the North and South, were under the leadership of General Thomas Jordan, chief of staff to General Beauregard in the late war, and whose engagements with the Junta in New York are reported as making him second in command to the former gene ral-iu-cbief, now President C?spedes. Tho Her db I announces that Pera has re? cognized the Cuban patriots as belli? gerents, which it thinks solves the mys? tery of the. two Peruvian i ron-clad s now hovering in the neighborhood of Ha? vana. It thinks the chance for a peace con fer en co proposed by the United States, and agreed upon by Spain, Pern, Chili and Ecuador, may be considered as dismissed, and that the cause of the Cabens is brightening. -o SOUTHERN SECURITIES IN NEW YOIJK. The Herald, of Monday, in its financial article, says: Southern securities were sympathetic for the general list, with the fluctuations of the stock market, but were weak and declined for the Tennessees, which are somewhat demoralized by the political wrangle in the dominant or reconstruc? tion party of that State, and by the de? liberate assertions that the next instal? ment of interest will not bo paid. The following were the closing prices of the Southern list on Saturday: Tennossees, ex-coupon, 67^@67>?; do. new 63%@ 64; do. five per cent. 58(a>62; Virgiuius, ex-coupon, ?7^'@5!S; do. new 61^(^02; do. registered stock 50@.50,*.?; do. regis? tered, 1866, 55@56; do. registered, l?G7, 52@53; Georgia six ?s, 81J?@83; do. sevens 05} J@(Jb' ; do. sevens, interest pay? able in Georgia, 92@95; North Carolinas, ex-conpons, 68^4@59}^; do. new 55,J8'r3 55'.i ; Missouri sixes, 8?@89}.1 ; Louisina sixes, 72??@73,1?; do. levee sixes 68*4? 68>?; do. levee eights, 87K@88J?; Ala? bama eights, 10U@102; do fives 66@67; do. sixes, sterling, 97 bid; South Caro? lina sixes 77(&78; do. new 75@77; do. registered stock 66@67; City of Memphis sixes, 64}?@55; City of Atlanta eights, 85@90; City of Savannah s?v?ns, 92(7? 93; City of New Orleans cousols, 75@77; do. issue, railroads, 71@72; Memphis and Charleston, first mortgage, 85@90; do. eeoond do. 7f>@77; do. stock 46@48; Greenville and Columbia Railroad, gua? ranteed, 62@63. -o-'-. INOBNDIARISI? AND M-DER.-We re? gret to learn that, some i.rae lust week, a murder waa committed in the settle? ment known as Salubrity, iu Pickens County, which exceeds in fiendishness and cowardice anything we ever heard of. Tho barn and stables of a Mr. Wil? lard was discovered to bo on fire at a late hour ut night, when he and n man by tho name of Rampey husteued to the soene of conflagration, to arrest, if pos? sible, tho devouring flames. Ou roach? ing tho spot, it was found that the firo had made such headway that it could not be stopped, and Willard and Rampey rushed in the stables to rescue the horses and other stock, and while thus engaged, were fired upon by unknown persons without. Mr. Willard wus struck in the neck by a ball, which resulted in bia death in a few minutes. Rampey was struck on the leg, causing a painful wound. We aro not informed of any clue as to who Hip perpetrators were. \K?owee Courier.

Harper & Brothers have pr?? sent?e} ns, through Messrs. Duffie & Chapman, with a copy of Thackeray's well-known and universally-ad m i red novel without a hero-"Vanity Fair," with the author's own illustrations; com? plete in ono volume; price fifty cents. The publishers state that Thackeray's other novels will bo issued immediately, at correspon dingly low prices. -o Dr. Jackson, of tho Plain street drug store, presents a fearful lookiug picture to tho publio this morning-a representa? tion of a death's head. But it is hoped timid people will not become alarmed before perusing the accompanying para? graph, which imparts tho gratifying in? formation that, through the inventive powers of a Green Mountain firm, flies eau bo disposed of suddenly and sum? marily. Dr. J. has presented us with several sheets of tho prepared paper, and in a day or two, it is confidently expected, a fly will be regarded as great a curiosity in the PHOENIX office as one of Unele Sam's mint drops would be. -o "Uneasy is the head which wears a crown!" The new postmaster, it is re? ported, finds that his ways are not ex? actly those of "pleasantness," aud his paths not those of "pence." There aro rumors of trouble in the post office camp, and its officials find in the distri? bution of their matter n task more diffi? cult than was the cleansing of the "Augean stable." From the troubled waters of the post office department comes a wail, "Help me, Cassius, or I sink." It ia whispered that the old officials have been conjured by tho new chief of the department to lend their charitable aid to work order out of chaos, and to rescue from "that bourne from which no traveler returns" tho mat? ter which was shipped for a very differ? ent port. Mails accumulate upon the shelves; the wildest confusion exists in tho construction of the alphabet-Brown gets the letters which were designed for Smith, and Robinson is the happy reci? pient of newspapers which wero blindly confided to the mail for the reading of Jones. The murdered mails mako a solemn and tangible protest against the department, as the spectral ghost of "Banqno" "shook his gory locks" at "Macbeth." There is no doubt that an? archy and disorder in the post office de? partment have usurped tho place of regularity and system. It could hardly be otherwise, when method and disci? pline are supplanted by inexperience and ignorance. It would have been infinitely better, not only for the convenience and interest of the community, but for the comfort and protection of the new post? master, had he retained the manager and corps of clerks who administered the postal affairs in the city of Colum? bia nnder his predecessor. As it now stands-if our information be correct with but one subordinate competent by education and clerkly training to dis? charge the duties of tho office, ano granting to him every qualification of office merit and despatch in business, il is clearly patent that an office con? ducted by tho ono efficient clerk and t) corps of colleagues deficient in capacity for the posts which they liavo so reck? lessly assumed, can never bo otherwise than a scene of chaos, and a source o: enormous discomfort and serious detri ment to tho general welfare. So keen aro the principles of pol?tica extermination with tho Republicans-sc vivid tho instincts of party, and so deep ly rooted the disposition to reform-tba in nearly, if not all, the instances of ap pointment to office of n member of th? radical persuasion to a position, tho of li ci al axe falls on tho devoted neck o those professing Democratic faith, am connected with such office. Wo con fess, in this particular instance, to find ing a "balm in Gilead," to a keen enjoy ment in seeing tho "engineer hoisted In his own petard;" but at the same time, wi wonld gladly hail a change in the poa department which would institute a nov order of things; which would "rendel unto Ciesar the things which are Caesar's;' or, better still, restore -thom to their ole and original status. It is scarcely aski ri j too much, where tho interest is so com mon and the nature so vital-wher every department of indnstry is so close!; related-to beg that the new postmaste will re-instate the former manager, am re-engage some of the experience* olerks; so that we may receive our mail without interruption, safely delivered a the destination for which they wer plainly and directly forwarded. -r j jj .

Thd scholars exhibited considerable proficiency in declamation, and by their promit and correct re? sponses, showed conclusively that the majority of. them bai been earnest stu? dents.

The spire of the Lutheran Church was struck by lightning, and scattered ia every direotion; in fact, the whole front of the church beneath the steeple is a mass of ruins. The building is totally unfit for use at present, and will require extensive repairs. This storm is the most severe one which has visited that section of country for many years. -o THE COLUMBIA BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.-From the card of the Di? rectors, it will be seen that this popular institution, from which much advantage was anticipated, is not to bo put into operation for the present. Whilst we regret the necessity for this course, we cannot but think the action adopted pru? dent and proper. Tho Board of Direct? ors consists of Colonel Thomas, Presi? dent, and the following well-known citi? zens: Dr. John Fisher, Mayor McKen? zie, and Messrs. Edward Hope, George Syinmers, B. O'Noale, jr., and G. A. Shields. Mr. G. T. Berg ia Secretary and Treasurer. With the legal difficul? ties removed, we trust the institution will yet do its good work to that portion of our fellow-citizens who have the laudable desire to provide themselves and families with homes. -o NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.-Attention is called to the following advertisements, published the first time this morning: E.

Jacob L win-Sundries. P. Cantwell-Hay, Bran, &o. D. C. Peixotto & Son-Auction. -o A Republican meeting is to be held in Greenville to-morrow, at which the Go? vernor, Auditor, Superintendent of Edu? cation and others are expected to deliver addresses. -o To bavo good health, we must have good blood-not the blood of Kings, Emperors or Princes, but the blood that runs pare and strong through the sys? tem, giving color to the maidens oheek and vigor to the arm, imparting bril Haney to the eye and elasticity to the frame. The blood is to the man what the sap is to the tree; let the sap grow dry and the tree withers and dies. So let the blood get thin, watery and weak, and tho man sickens and dies. Heinitsb's QUEEN'S DEMCIHT, the medicino of all others, is now the recognized agent for imparting health, vigor, strength and beauty for all. No Sarsaparilla abont it, a new remedy on new principles. We say try if and be convinced. J3
