IxmDow, September 17.-Tn? '?ta?; ia VB editorial on tho - Cn ban question, - saya: If tb?

I? these cir? cumstances have prompted the Madrid Government to play its last card for the articles and-stake all on it, it cannot be congratultttedvon ito ft9s?tat?^n. The subjugation of Cuba cann?t bo achieved by soldiers, nor will it result from a serien Of victories. The troops may hold the seaports, bu^ tip inland regions will I bo ?gsAnsi *herr?; armed columns may ? traverse the inland, bat they can no? where establish a permanent footing. With the exception of a few traders, Spain has no friends on the island. Prim and Serrano have often told the Cortes that the loss of Cuba is morely H ques? tion of timo; fox four.month$ they have been devising the most advantageous terms. It is to, bo boped. that wisdom and consistency, will enable them to see that it is good to bo rid of the .island on any terms, and cause, them to consider before wasting men and money, which they cannot Bpare, in the furtherance of an enterprise which will never yield a hundredth part of what it has already ir reparnbly cost. . -Tho Slur, a radical organ, states that tho difficulty between-tho United States and Spain, on the Cuban question, is in a fair way for settlement. The rumor of a proclamation, guaranteeing religious liberty and freedom of election, shortly to bo issued by tho Spanish Government, is a.better omen; but if reports of the Military Governor in Cuba are true, the concessions must bo prefaced by one moro essential, namely: That the Cubans must be permitted to live to enjoy them.

A 'Germein named Broderson com? mitted saioi.de, on Monday, at No. 853 East Forty-sixth street, New York, where he was boarding, owing to bis unrequited love for his landlady. A half-breed, captured by a vigilance committee in? Kansas for murder, and abont to bo hanged, told the committee that he would hang himself. According? ly, he palled off his boots, put the rope round his heok, climbed the tree and jumped off. He died declaring that he had killed nix men, and if he had been let alone, he would have doubled the number in a few days. He closed his brief speech with curses and execra? tions. SINGULAR DEATH.- Colonel Harasthy, a wealthy Californian, formerly President of the great Buena Vista Vinionltural Society, met wieh bis death in a singular manner not long since. He had removed to Central America, where he had ob? tained from tho Government a valuable franchise for the manufacturo of dis? tilled liquors for twenty years, and, while looking for a mill site along one of the little Nicaragua water courses, he fell in the stream and was devoured by alli? gators. Mor.DEn IN HOUSTON COUNTY.-From a gentleman, who was in Fort Valley on Tuesday last, we learn that a most brutal and cowardly murder was perpetrated on Monday afternoon, in Houston County, at a blacksmith shop, on the placo of Joel R. Griffin, about three miles from Fort Valley. A negro man, it appears, approached the shop with his gun, and finding there two negro boys about four? teen or fifteen years of age, he delibe? rately shot and killed tho oldest boy for some cause not yet made known, and then broke for the woods and effected his escape.-Macon Telegraph.

[Edgefleld Advertiser. CASIMIR DELAVIGNB'S MEMORY.-Tho French dramatist Casimir Delavigne had so extraordinary a memory that it was his custom to finish the composition of a play before writing a word of it. The first act of Louis the Eleventh-by whioh play, from the admirable acting of the late Mr. Charles Kean, ho is best known in tho United States-was composed, but not written, before starting on a voyage to Italy. While away, Talma, who was to have represented the king, died, and tho intention of completing tho drama was for a timo abandoned. When, some years afterwards, be again turned his at? tention to it, he was able to recall to his memory the first act as originally com? posed, and which had remained so long donnaut in his brain. WHAT A JILTED DAMSEL SHOULD Do. Horace Greeley gives the following ad? vice to jilted women, who contemplate bringing suit for breach of promise: "A deserted damsel, instead of bringing her action, may say: 'Go, wretched man, be happy if you can; but when you join that gay and festive throng, and other eyes than mino look love to yours, re? member that your perfidious vow, tho lying utterance of your serpent tongue, tho empoisoned boney of your perjured lips, that moon, that walk, that declara? tion sweet, the kiss that you first offered-dream of these until the per? jured bruin no longer thinks, and mad? ness kindly comes to your relief, ?fcc, A-e, ?fcc. !' What man of the least sus? ceptibility would not rather pay modo rato damages than receivo a blasting nine times withering curse like this?" A SINGULAR NAUTICAL ENTERPRISE.-A young Englishman, by the name of Ben? nison, proposes to paddle his canoe from New York to Texas, and hos actually sot out and made Blazing Star, N. J., twenty miles in soven hours. The boat in which this enterprisiLg young man has under? taken his long journey is only fourteen feet loug, and weighs sixty pounds. It is built staunchly, yet lightly, of some tough wood, and is decked two-thirds over with mahogany. In tho centro is au open space where the rower sits, sup? ported at tho back by two upright slats of wood and a cross-pieoe, and protected in front by a leather apron, which but? tons him completely into the boat. For cargo he carries only his rifle and ammu? nition aud a fow other articles packed away, and his propulsive power is given by a double-bladed paddle, mado of ash, and weighing only two and a half pounds. Ho proposes to stop for food and sleep nt suoh points as may bo con? venient. Mr. Bennison has paddled his boat up the Rhine and down the Danube and the Volga. His course now lies by river and canal to Amboy, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, to Pittsburg; thence by the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to Now Orloans, and then to Gal I veston or some other Texan port. ? ? lim yuiiahiMau ul the wuihlgg-eatr? mated at 1,239,000,000, .. ?

A Fronch ohild asked the priest, the other day, "Why is it, father, that we ask every day for our daily bread, instead of asking our bread for a week, or a month, or a whole year?" "Why, you little goose, to have it fresh, to be sure," was the reply. How io MAKE PREDICTIONS COME TRUE. A fortune-teller in Milwaukie told a poor widow, for fifteen dollars, that she was destined to die a horrible death, and in consequence the woman went insane and disembowelled herself with a pahr of scissors. A WINK.-A Northern court has de? cided that a wink at an auctioneer is not binding as a bid. Our auctioneers should make a note of this faot. It may bo that "a wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse," but it is uot as good as a bid to an auctioneer. The Prnssian journals state that an ice and cold-producing machine has boen invented by Mons. Franz Windhausen Brunswick. The action of the machine is based on the principle of producing cold and warmth by the expansion and compression of atmospheric air, which is accomplished by means of mechanical power. The machines require no chemi? cals, nothing being used in them but wa? ter and atmospheric air. They may be wrought by steam, water or wind, and they produce from 100 to 1,000 pounds ico per hour, according to size, at a cost of from 2d. to 5d. per 100 ponnds; this difference resulting from the varying prices of fuel and tho mode of working chosen. One of their uses is to cool rooms, cellars, theatres, hospitals, com? partments of ships, A-c. Tho baby market in New York is active, judging by the advertisements of that trade in tho city papers, which show a demand and supply of three or four dozen per week. The adoption, or more literally the sale, of innocents has at? tained the dignity of a regular business, supporting a number of establishments and many private speculators. Strictly speaking, it cannot be classed as a pro? ductivo industry, since the producors of the commodity do not reap the profits, those belonging entirely to the "female physician" who manages the sale. The supply is secured from those mothers who have become such "outside the conven? tional rules," as Mrs. Stanton phrases it, and the demand is found among those whose means and circumstances are fa? vorable, bnt to whom nature is not be? nignant. The former are usually anx? ious to dispose of their encumbrances, and the latter to obtain such ornaments of the honsehold by purchase, if no other means are possible. And in this they have the advantage of wives ostensibly more favored, since the baby mart allows of a wide selection, in which preferences as to sex, complexion, size and disposi? tion may, in great measure, bo consulted. Some purchasers prefer brunettes, others blondes, and tho agents advertise their merchandize in assorted parcels. Blondes rule highest at present-a first class spe? cimen, with blue eyes, bringing 8100. Some days since-in touching npon the manner in which, one by one, tho old-time slanders that stirred np tho North against the South were meeting a revelation of their true character-we had occasion to say that the New Eng? land common-school system never had been, and was not now, possible in the South, owing to the sparseness of the population. It was also our statement that the reconstructed State authorities -carpet-baggers chiefly from New Eng? land-had endeavored to set this system i in operation; but, in at least one State, we find that we have given them too much credit even for the effort. The Haleigh (N. C.) Sentinel, in its issue of tho 11th instant, says "there is, so far as we know, but ono school in the State sustained by public authority, and that is a shameful mockery and burlesque upon tho name of education." It ap? pears, aliunde, that this Behool is the State University at Chapel Hill-that quandom scat of learning once rendered illustrious by many eminent men, among them Thomas Hart Benton. Under tho now regime, a crow of ignorant, undor brod adventurers are thrust in tho pro? fessional chairs of this institution, its c'-.ors are open to the meanost corn-field nogro, and the youth of the Stato, once trooping to its famous campus, now shun it as thoy wc uld tho plague. Tho whites will not, tho negroes cannot, go thero. "Chapel Hill," says tho Sentinel, "ouco tho proud seat of learning and philoso? phy, is now-alas! how soonl-a place of educational desolation and sad memo? ries." The common school system of North Carolina is a mero nullity, not even tho reconstructed law being opera? tive; tho University is desolate; tho eu tiro school fund-all fines, forfeitures, proceeds of land sales, "together with so much of the ordinary revenue of the State as may be necessary"-is in the power of a nest of thieving vipers, and, says tho Sentinel, "there is no such thing among us os popular education." Tho fruits of reconstruction are as rotten as the tree.-iVeip York World. Impute-i? Cl-ni-i *m?Tm*4?m? ?W?HII> Immigration. Society. The ImadgratiouJ^ctety of Newberry,. South Carolina, is prepared to furnish the country with . Held laborers and me? chanics; requiring their traveling ex? penses, Ac, to l? paid lb advance, and desiring recommendations from snob ersons as are unknown .to the society, ingle female servants cannot be ob? tained. The society can promise with certainty to fill, between the 15th of No? vember, 1869, and the 15th of March, 1870, only the first500 orders; therefore it behooves those who really desire to. obtain laborers to send their orders as soon as possible. The money, to be advanoed, whioh must, without fail, accompany the ordor, is twenty-five dollars for a singlo la? borer, and sixty dollars fox a family. Tho actual expenses of traveling from New York to any point on the benth Ca? rolina and Greenville and Columbia Railroads-sixteen dollars, for a grown person, eight dollars for children be? tween three and twelve years old, (no? thing for children under three years) will be paid from from the wages of the immigrant. The society will charge, for contingent expenses, four dollars for a single la? borer, and six dollars for a family. Be? sides this, the society will set aside from the monoy advanced five dollars from each order-whothe- for a single laborer or family-to estai sh A fund to Becure from loss, resulting from failure of the immigrant to embark, after his passage has been paid, &c. This fund is abo for the purpose of reimbursing any em filoyer who can satisfactorily show that a aborer has left him before he oould re? fund the money prepaid for his traveling expenses. The contribution for contin? gent expenses is not included in thin fund. Any amount of the fund remaining at the end of tho year 1870, will bo re? turned to employers in proportion to what they have paid. The contingent expenses and the con? tribution fer thc fund ?gui?ol looses, which the society might sustain, must be paid by tho employer and not bo deduct? ed from the wages of the employee. If the society fails to fill an order, it will return the money advanced, deduct? ing only tho postage. Tho society has appointed agents only at Charleston, Columbia and Newberry; if, however, the order desires immigrants to be forwarded to other points, he must appoint somo one at such place to take charge of them, and the name of such person must be communicated to the subscriber. The society pays tho traveling expenses only to stations along the South Carolina and Greenville and Columbia Railroads, and will not be responsible for expenses incurred on other railroads. Upon tho arrival of the immigrant, the society will make out a bill of all ex? penses and present to the person order? ing for settlement. The wages of tho immigrants will be fixed as follows, unless the laborer con? sents to a reduction: FIELD IiABOBEBS. 1st Single laborer-$10 monthly, with board, lodging and washing. (Not re? quired to do his own cooking.) 2d. Families-For a man 810 monthly; for a working woman $5, with provi? sions. Tho employer can either have the cooking dono, or he can give them rations and allow the wife time to cook. The following rations have been proven by last year's experience to bo sufficient for a man: Six quarts oom moal, three and a half pounds wheat flour, three and a half pounds meat, half pound coffee, ono and n half quarts molasses a wook, and somo milk daily. For a woman: Four quarts corn meal, two pounds wheat flour, two pounds meat, half pound coflfee, one quart molasses a woek, and some milk daily. Should tho employer prefer giving tho family money with which to procure provisions, tho amount fixed upon is about six dollars and fifty cents a month for a man, and four dollars for a woman, with a small gardon, which must bo worked only in sparo time. Children, capable of work, must be paid according to their services; and the wages must bo arranged between the employer and their parents. MECHANICS. All persons desiring mechanics must define what wages and conditions they are willing to enter into with employees. Unless differently expressed in the order, all immigrants will consider themselves engaged until Christmas, 1870. The immigrant, in casos of disagree? ment with his employer, shall always be allowed to mako his appenl to the so? ciety, which, if tho complaint is well founded and cannot be adjusted, will proceed to obtain him anothor place. Employers would do well not to oxcito expectations by making tho immigrants any promises, about tho fulfilimont of which thcro can be any doubt, and thus avoid ono great cause of discontont. It is advisable, tho socioty thinks, to place tho laborer at tho very commence? ment of his servico upon the very work he is to do, and to soe that ho docs it proporly. This would do much towards securing a good and faithful laborer. All letters, remittances, \c, must bo directed to the subscriber, and written in a legible hand. All orders must be given bofore tho 20th of October, 1860. F. G. BRUGGEMANN, General Agent of the Immigration So? cioty of Newberry. REV. T. S. BOINEST. Prosidont. SiiiAS JOHNSTONE, Secretary. lt. L.
