COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Mcrttinf, August ft, 1868. Cub?. Owing to ibo rigorous and cruel policy pursued by De Rodas, the Cubau insur? rection is now reduced to desperate .traits. &l prisoners and suspected persons have either been killed, impri? soned or banished, and upwards of 1,200 estates have. Leen confiscated. The Cuban ;J^nta in New York is ont of money, and consequently unable to despatch reinforcements, even wero the United States Government to withdraw its opposition. This result is duo to the Cubans themselves, who seem to have imagined that revolutions can be accom? plished by running away from them. Northern papers tell us that upwards of 8,000 voluntary exiles are domiciled in New York, and 2,000 to 8,000 in every other Atlantic city; besides this, many are in New Orleans, on tho Baha? mas, and in Eorope. They seem to have forgotten that those who would be free themselves must strike the blow; and certainly lacked that courageous spirit of self-saorifloe without which no revo? lution was ever ? A successfully accom? plished. This unfortunate ending is rendered the more melancholy when we reflect apon the prospective fate of those who have shown more illustrious quali? ties; for Cuba is not destitute of heroes. They bid fair, unless some brighter pros? pects dawn, to be caught like rats in a trap, deserted by those in whose service they have risked both life And fortune, to crown the conqueror's triumph with an unhappy fate. No wonder public en? thusiasm in the United States has so thoroughly cooled in the face of thia army of young Cubans, who shrink from all danger outside the dancing halls and opera bonses of New York city. Not even the patriotism of the Coban ladies, carried to snob extreme bounds as it was, bas been potent enough to conquer thc disgust inspired by the carefully clothed and kidded shirkers who throng oui cities. If the star of Young Cuba doe; go down in a sea of blood, a fearful re sponsibility will rest upon their bends a stain as damning os that which market the brow of Cain. Tho allusion by Gen. Grant to "tin liberal policy of the United States,' pursuant to which tut Freuoh oceai cable was permitted to be landed at Dux bury, is in most execrable taste, an? shows that the Cabinet is lacking ii even the most ordinary mles of polite ness. When it is remembered that th question of permitting the cabio to lam at all was the cause of many grave Cabi net discussions, and that the polio, shadowed forth by some of the leadin, members of the Government was one c exclusion and non-intercourse, tho rc terence becomes still more objectionable Common as well as court etiquette r< quires that no individual shall boast c his own liberality, or that of the Goveri ment he represents, especially in a mei complimentary despatch. But when, : in this case, no liberality was displuyec when, on the contrary, permission di manded by the most ordinary requir ments of international comity was si cured only by a commercial pressm from without, any illusion to the liber policy of the administration is an offen < against good taste; and but little lei than an insult to France and our ow people. FOREIGN CONFEDERATE BOND-HOLDER The Confederate bond-holders in Londc and Paris have not lost hopes that the claims will yet be recognized. They baj their hopes upon the ultimate es tab lis' ment of the fact that the Confederar was a de facto government, and that th being the case their cause was not tl cause of the Confed?rate bonds alon bnt that of holders of every kind bonds issued by foreign. government The argument is that there is no class bonds on salo in the English market, i at present held in the market, but that change of government would material effect their value, and that it was a w< received principle that a go vern me succeeding a de facto one should uckuo ledge the debts contracted by it, ai that there was no good reason why tl United States should be made an c ception to the mle. These men aro dead earnest, and not only havo rneth and influence, but there is reason what some call their mad folly iu persi: ing in their claims to a recognition the United States of tho legitimacy the Confederate loan. The Pall Mall Gazelle indignantly i quires: "Is there any society in t world, except in tho English House Poors, in which a man judicially prov to be a thief and a forger could take 1 seat unquestioned?" Why, bless its i noceuco, yes! It has only to look Spain to find Dan. Sickles occupying t diplomatic gallery at the Cortes, che by jowl with tho British and other : Bpoctable ambassadors. As the soho boy said at examination, "Don't ask sn foolish questions."

GKNKBAL: The Gettysburg Battle-field Memorial Association, organised soon after the battle, sinoe incorporated and holding in absoluto tenure the more iro Eortaut portions of tho battle-grounds, eiog memorial and historical in its pur? pose arid "?h?raot?r, "K?s unanimously adopted r?solu tiona (already published) which accompany this letter, determin? ing to proceed to indicato the field With enduring memorials constructed of the granito from its bills, aad thus to perma? nently mark ont the positions and move? ments of tho armies, corps, divisions and important commands in the batt'o. Its objoct is to perpetuate tho history of the battlo in its simple truth, and to that end to make the battle-field its own interpreter. It seeks to preserve this field, truly indicated as an enduring his? torical memorial of the military events of the 1st, 2d and 8d of July, 1868, as n school for study in practically illustrating the art of war, and an ever eloquent, though silent exponent, aliko to citizen and foreign visitor, of the battle of Get? tysburg. Tho more effectually to accomplish this its purpose, and before proceeding to erect tho indications, the Association desires to derive the important requisite information from authentic and original sources. It earnestly realizes that jus? tice to themsolves and fidelity to the truth of history entitled the officers who commanded the forces io action to desig? nate the positions and define the move? ments thus to be perpetuated. With this high historic purpose in view, I am instructed by the board, as secretary, and on bohalf of the associa? tion, to invite you, General, to co-ope? rate in this work of indication, and to attend a re-union of the officers of your brigade, division, corps and army, upon tho battle-grounds, there to confer to? gether ami determino the positions and important points proper to bo thus en? duringly designated. Tho timo fixed for the meeting is the week commencing with tho 23d day of August next. The place of mooting is tho Gettysburg Springs Hotel, upon tho battle-field, whore the accommodations are ampio and excellent. It is requested that, at tho same time that thoy reply to this invitation, the of? ficers invited, address the surviving rank? ing officer of their corps, and oxpress, if practicable, their intention to bo pre? sent; and be is also requested to commu? nicate with tho secretary. Arrangements are in progress to secure to tho visiting officers the courtesy of free travel to and probably also from this ro-union over the railroads leading thither. Tho asso? ciation has also arranged for tho commu? tation of tho hotel charges to a very moderate price, whilo securing comfort and every desirable attention. The press of tho country hos also been requested to further the consummation denired, and is generously responding. The officers and directors sincorcly hopo that you, General, may find it both agreeable and convenient to accept thc invitation hereby tendered to this re? union, which will be an occasion of great personal and public as woll as historic interest. Awaiting your reply, I am, very respectfully, yours, D. McCONAUGHY, Sec'y of Gettysburg Battle-field Memo? rial Association. THE SITUATION IN EUROPE-Tho conti? nuance of peace in Europe, in spito of all roceut changes, depends moro upon Franco than upon any other Euro? pean power. Russia, Austria, Prussia, aro all so much bent on carrying out do? mestic reforms, that nothing but thc direst necessity will allow them to think of war. The amicable and satisfactory settlement of the Franco-Belgian diffi? culty has removed the only cause of wnr which was really alarming. The present reform movement in Franco has assumed that particular character which, to say the least, renders foreign war extremely improbable. The game which Napoleon now has iu hand is much more important than the humbling of Prussia or tho ac? quisition of a few square miles of terri? tory. It is a fact not without deep sig? nificance that, simultaneously with the inauguration of sweeping and radical reforms, Napoleon has taken steps to reduce tho effective strength of the array. We havo little doubt that the example of France will be generally imitated. The hugo armaments of Europe are a curse not only to the different nations, but to tho world. France has an available forco of 1,000,000 men. Russia, Prussia and Austria can each count on almost as many. Italy is oppressing herself and ruining her chances by maintaining a large standing army. It is tho same all over. War with such forces would be dreadful. But why should war be neces? sary? It is the dynasties, not the peo? ples, that are interested in tho main? tenance of the present condition of things. A grand European federal re? public is the only cure for all this waste and consequent misery. It is the stand? ing armies of Europe that are forcing upon tho United States population and wealth. Why should we complain? [New York Herald, Tho amount of business transacted in tho post offico in New York may be judged by thc fact that two windows aro open for thc salo of stamps in sums less than ono dollar. Tho receipts at each of these windows average $1,000 per day. Tho daily consumption of stamps nt this of? fico must bo in all about $50,01)0. Intelligence was broughton July ll to j the Pope of the death of his brother, Count Gabriel Mastai Forretti, who has succumbed at Sinignglia from the effects of a fall. The Count, who was in his ninetieth year, wus tho bend of the fa? mily. .'Sl?vok-y to Dodd, but Trewon U?M," . This is the language otod by Forney fe?B Ae of bi? leaders last ? rare* tr&r Sorda uttered Trtuy "slavery ia deas*, li vafe." Treason lives in mefcber of Oongrees, who oath to support the Cou?tit time he easts his vote. . It ttttJfl Reconstruction Acts and military di isms established by congressional lc tion. It was alive in the Bepubl party before the late war broke cot. when it nominated a sectional candidate on a sectional platform, and declared that 'this country ouuld not exist half slave and half free." It manifested its vigor and its virnlency when, through the columns of its leading organ, the rJ rib une, it douounced tho flag as a "flaunting lie, and hate's polluted rag," and called the eagle, the ernblom of our prowess, "the vultnro of the Union," and, with Wendell Phillips, agreed tbat our Constitution was "a leaguo with hell and a coven ant with death." And "slavery is dead;" but when it died, it transferred tho manacles upon its wrists and ankles to tho white labor? ing men of the North. "The slave aris? tocracy," as it was so flippantly called, is dead; but that was a self-sustaining, self-supporting aristocracy ; that was an aristocracy that paid to the North mil? lions in gold annually; and during the last decado before tho war furnished ex? ports to the value of over 1,000,000,000 to swell the wealth of the country. The slave aristocracy is dead, but it has boon succeeded by an aristocracy of Northern bond-holders, "who toil not, neither do they spin; yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like ono of theso." Those successors of tho slave aristocracy receivo their interest in oolid gold, while their serfs and bondsmen the poor laboring classes of the North must be content with the depreciated rag currency of tho country. Theso succes? sors of tho self-supporting, wealth giving aristocracy of slavery pay no taxes, but impose that burden on their white slaves, who aro moro "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for these worse than Egyptian task-masters. When Hood wrote that wonderfully suggestive poem of his, with ita wild, touching burden cf "Work! work I work! From weary chim? to chime, Work! work: work! As prisoners do for crime," Ho was simply picturiug tho condition of English serfs under the grinding in? fluence of a huge national debt and the tyranny of a bonded aristocracy. The artisans and laborers, now out of work, afford nu opportunity to somo American Hood to write a song of labor hero, with even a more touching refrain than that of the English poet. He could tell his countrymen "why bread should bo so dear," beoause "flesh uud blood hud been so cheap." Yes ! "slavery is dead and treason lives;" but it was negro slavery that died, in order that white slavery might live. That creature Forney, and his co-con? spirators against the Constitution and the Union, have given tho freedom of laziness and the privilcgo of starvation to tho millions of former well-to-do slaves; but have imposed their cast-off fetters upon tho limbs of white men here at the North. Lot our white laboring men remember at the ballot-boxes next fall that "Ho who would hr: free Himself must strike tho blow." [JYeic York Sunday Neus. REMARKABLE ACCIDENT-DISASTROUS EFFECTS.-A letter received at Louisville from Princeton, Ky., speaks of a fear? ful accident which occurred on the 20th ult. A man named Boot Crow was haul? ing upon a wagou two immense mill? stones, ono of which weighed 2,850 pounds. While passing along the sido of a high hill the heaviest stone rolled from tho wagon and down tho declivity with great velocity, crushing small trees and shrubbery in its course. Tho house of a farmer named Davwell was situated ut the font of tho hill. Tho mill-stouc went ems..mg through a fence and into the yara of the farmer's house, whore were a number of bee-hives. In the yard wore playing a bevy of children. Tho bee-hives were upset, and tho bees in the confusion lighted upon the chil? dren, stinging every one of them in a frightful manner. The progress of the great stone was not impeded iu the least by its collision with tho hives, and went bounding into a stock pasture beyond tho house. It dashed into n bord of calves and horses, killing two of tho for? mer and one of the latter almost instant? ly. Tho children in tho yard had been completely covered with tho bees, and each was stung by them until their per? sons were entirely covered with white swellings. One of them died a few hours after tho terrible occurrence, and two others are entirely speechless and blind. They can hardly recover. VERY SINGULAR.-From Bell's Station, Tenn., come tho particulars of a most singular phenomenon. William Rowell was struck suddenly deaf and dumb, n few days ago, when en route to Memphis from his placo of residence. Out of mero sport, when a newsboy carno round and offered him a paper, ho feigned to be both deaf and dumb, and in this way annoyed the vender. Tho nowsboy passed on, but the unfortunate joker never spoko again. When he bogan to realizo the extent of his misfortune, ho got off the train, bound for Memphis, at Mason's depot, aud took the first return train. On tho cars, be indulged ia loud lamentations and cries, as if sorely dis? tressed. On his urrival home, as soon as ho stepped out on the platform, ho seized a pencil aud a bit of paper from a citizen, and wrote, "struck dumb on ac? count of my folly," and continued wcep iug iu most piteous tones.

The designing and successful villain who has wrought her ruin is represented to have boen a young man who formerly lived in Augusta-J. D. Creswell. Wo are advisod that this young niau con? ducted a farm in tho neighborhood of tho family to which allusion has boon mudo, and that he had been welcomed into tho most intimate association with tho father, brother and daughters. Every facility in their power had been cheer? fully afforded to contributo to his mate? rial iuterests, and to promoto bis social enjoyment. Ho had been treated rather as a member of tho family than ns au ac? quaintance, and such hnd beon his seem? ing honest aud honorable deportment that no breath of suspicion was stirred against him until his baseness and per? fidy culminated in thc ruin of a daugh? ter of tho household. Stung to despera? tion, the brothers, who had been thus deceived by ono who had worn tho sem? blance of honor and outraged the confi? dence reposed in him, waiied on tho au? thor of tho ruiu of a too confiding but loved sister, and demanded a reparation of the wrong nt tho marriage altar. This took place nt night, iu the early part of last week. Croswoll, as we are informed, acceded to thc demand, and mounted his horse to accompany tho young men, to have tho ccromony of marriage perform? ed. Oo tho road, however, his villainy again asserted its supremacy, and, being mounted on a swift-footed horse, he gave them the slip at a favorable locality, and made his escape, although they dis? charged their pistols at him as bc fled. Sinco then, theso young men and their sympathizing friends have been in active search for tho young man who has so grievously wronged them; and it was re? ported hero, yesterday, that one of the brothers had traced him to Station 95, on thc Greenvillo and Columbia Rail? road, whero ho ovortook him on Satur? day night, and shot nod killed him. If such is tho fact, it is only a just retribu? tion, and a fato which all such men should be taught to expect." This article docs me such glaring and palpable injustice, that I feel it due to myself to say that thc statements therein contaiuod aro grossly and basoly false. I am willing to submit to a reasonable amount of contumely and odium to re? lievo the unfortunate, but to quietly acquiesce in the extravagant and un? founded statement contained in your paper, would bo to acknowledge myself guilty and a villaiu unworthy of con? sideration. I am prepared to vindicate my denial and establish my innocence by indisputable proof, wheu called upon; and you will, therefore, please under? stand me as pronouncing tho author of the information upon which the above mentioned articlo is predicated a liar and slanderer; and I hope you will do mo the justico to insert this card in your paper, nnd to request those of your ex? changes which have copied tho above articlo to publish this. Very respect? fully, your obedient servant, J. D. CRESWELL. MELANCHOLY.-At Alstead, N. H., ou | the 7th instant, as Mr. Samuel C. Savory was yoking a pair of Durham bulls, ono of thom attacked him in great fury, hookod him down and broke his ribs, one rib penetrating his right lung. He also received other serious injuries, and his recovery is doubtful. A hired man prevented tho bull from continuing tho attack, while tho wife and son of Mr. Savory got him into tho house. Tho saddest part of tho affair remains to bo told. The son, who was about eleven years old, was greatly excited by seeing his father hooked by the beast, and tho precarious coudition in which his parent was loft, had great effect upon his nerves, and ho soon evinced that "his mind had lost its balance. On tho 13th, when the other childron returned from" school, ho was missing, and, it appeared, had not bceu to school. Search was made for him, when the poor littlo fellow was found suspended by a rope from a beam in the sugar-house, having hung him? self. A darkey was boasting to a grocer of the cheapness of ten pounds of sugar he had bought at a rival shop. "Let me weigh tho packago," said tho grocer. The darkey assented, and it was. found two pounds short. The colored gentle? man looked perplexed for a moment, and then said: "Guess ho didn't cheat dis child much, for while ho was gettin' de sugar I stole two pair of shoos." Why don't tho papers let tho women alone? A negro was hanged in St. Louis tho other day for murder and his last words wero "see what a woman will bring a mon toi" Some of tho papers now proposo this ns a text for a Women's Rights lcoture, but say there is nothing very remarkable in this case, for it was not thc first timo a woman has brought a man to tho haltor. A friend informs us that tho five great ovils of his life theso summer days, aro standing oollars, stove-pipe hats, tight boots, bill collectors, and cross woinon. As he is a married man, he dcolnrcs knowingly tho last is not least. Sosayeth an exchange. Wife to "tightually slight" husband: "I wish whiskey cost ??$10,000 a drink." Husband, communicatively, "If it did, my dear, you would be a wretchedly poor woman by to-morrow night." THE SON DOES NOT MOW SET IN ALASKA. At Sitka, Mr. Seward will see tho SUD "standing still," as it did in tho days of Joshua. South Alaska is ia tho latitude of :|ixta*-very nearly tile sane afc that of Southernmost Greenland. In that lati? tude thia sun does not set at all in sum? mer. It remains about twenty-five de? grees above the horizon at the hour we call midnight.

In winter it is, of ! conree, the reverse, as in the higher lati? tudes the suu is not seen for six weeks. It is to bo tho boast of England that on its empire the sun never sets. Well, we have empire on which the sun only sets occasionally.-New York Times. A Bio THING.-A gigautio swindle, in? volving no less than 115,000,000 acres of public lauds, has just been brought to light. A company of speculators, staling themselves tho "Southern Pacific Rail? road, of California," have, it seems, ma? naged to smugglo into a law of Congress a provision thut virtually grnut.s them tho dominion and ownership of 115,000, 000 acres of tho public lauds. Au nt tempt ou their part to seizo thc land, without building the road dosignated in the law, has brought, the matter to light, in the shape of a remonstrance from the settlers, which was presented, on their behalf, to tho Commissioner of tho In? terior, on the 6th ult., by Messrs.

WHY YOUNO MEN DO NOT MARRY. - One of our Northern exchanges tells u the reason yonng men do not marry it "the over-dressing of women," and upo this descants as follows: "Over-dressing demoralizes a womat It takes from her that purity of thongl and character, the high prerogatives ( a perfect life, which is her legitima! birthright, and she sells it for a mess < pottage. It opens the avenues of h< soul to a thousand destroying influence and leads her by silken tendrils over inl the valley of the shadow of death. * "I think the reason yonng men do ni marry is because girls have ceased to I domestic, and spend a great deal i money upon dress. They are not co tented to live in a quiet way, and dre moderately; they must go out, dress at ride, and frequent places of amusemeu have suppers and banquets, and recer adulation. It costs a great deal of moue which the young man furnishes, and 1 never gets ahead enough to marry; they repent and try their laok again." j There is some truth in the foregoin Though more young men would mar than do, but for follies of their ow Billiards, cards, wine, aud other cost luxuries, consume what, in many cast would go largely towards supporting family. The fault of not marrying, attributable not alone to "over-dressin on the part of the "gentler sex," but much to tho extravagance of tho "std er" in the pleasures they enjoy. AU t fault of not marrying, must not laid upon women. If they do "ov dress," it is beoauso the men encouru it. Go to a ball or party of any kit and that girl who is modestly dressi besido tho belle in her feathers, and 1 silks, and diamonds, receives no att tion from the young mon, while the ot! is fairly besieged by them. This is li scan it as you may. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.-At tent ?or called to tho following advertiseme: published the first time this morninf Palmetto Firo Co.-Tribute of Kesp> H. W.
