e@t?E?IA, S.-C. Wedn.e?gay Morning. May Ut3L$7P. The Qnesada rovolution, although un successful now, appears aa if likely to evontauto in the independence of Cuba, through a new oom plication it baa served to develop. Tba volunteer soldiery, awakened by tho lato war to a compre? hensive sense of their own power and importance, naturally enough desire to Siave some voice in the choice of rulers, rand, accordingly, Lave allied themselves with Count Valtuaseda in nu effort to got .rid of DeBodos, who is iu high favor with tho homo Government. Having already driven out one Cuptaiu-General, the volunteers will not hesitate, should their wishes be defied, to repeat the same treatment'to (be present one. Indeed, rumors ar? now current in tbo North, alleging that they have already assumed A hostile nttitlido aud taken possession of felic Moro. Ono .{thing is certain-tho ?volunteers of Havana will henceforth bo ?found harder to deal with than heroto iforo. .Qpoin'.ouBi JW longer look for that "Wind obedience to the despotism witb Which the island has been ruled; nor ex geo'f, es pf old, tb .monopolize its reve ?inesby rigidly, exoludiug from office a'l porsop? of nativo birth. Valmascda has ruado himself the hero of the war; he is -already courting popularity, aud in trigueitlg yrttbthe citizen soldiery.

THE FRUIT CROP OF VIKGINIA.-The (Petersburg Index says: Tho prospect for an abundant crop of fruit of all kinds this year, is exceedingly gratifying. It will be tho best fruit year, in all respects, that wo have had in a long time. Wyoming nurses calm the rising gene? ration by si ugh) g : "Nico little baby, don't get iu a fury, cause mamma's gono .to sit on the jury." ,? T?IE DWXHS* OJT TgE^fllfl: ? ?T^VU^H' eral belief that tho bod "bf tho deep ocean ia AS far beneath the roach of direot ex? amination by soientifio men aa the eub 8 tan co of the solid earth at the same depths, lias been dissipated bj the suc? cess of some bold English investigators in direotly exploring the depths of the sea. It appears that Professor Thomp? son and Dr. Carpenter, with the aid of a new contrivance for dredging, have suc? ceeded in bringing up at differont times loads of nearly half a ton of deposits from a depth of fourteen thousand foot (or two miles and two-thirds) below tho surface. Tbero are but three or four peaks in Europe which are higher above tho soa-lovol than the 6ea-level is above tho depths thus examined. Tho results of this examination have not yet beon finally embodied in tho sciences on which they bear, but enough hos been pub? lished of them to show that somo of the common doctrines of geologists and physiologists at least need revision. It is stated that at deptbs whore the press? ure of the water is moro than four hun? dred tons to enoh square foot, where the cold is always below tho freezing point of water at tbe surface, and whero not ono particle o! light from the sun or air cnn ponetrate, there ure beings, animals of much complexity of organization, and with eyes as perfect in every respect ns thoso of tho fishes and reptiles boat known to us. Another striking discovery is that theso creatures, found in the limestone mud of to-day, are in all important re? spects liko those found by geologists in tho.limestone beds of Europe,' reforrcd by them to an epooh of the earth's re? moto formative history, millions of ages ago. But removing their dredges a few miles, thc explorers find the sen deposit? ing sand-stone debris, and in itare.other creatures corresponding in all points to the sand-stone fossils which geologists have alway? referred to another epoch, remote from ns, indeed, but also divided by unmeasured etas from the former. Here they are, building side by side these two widely diipferent classes of fos siliferous strata; "and the discovery thal they may actually co-exist upon adjneeul Buff aces," sayB?r. Carpenter, "has dont no less than strike at the very root o tho customary assumptions with regare to geological time." The New York Evening Post, comment ing upon tbo testimony thus brought ut from the depths of the sea, expresses tin opinion that this discovery affords tin strongest support to Sir Charles Lyell'i theory, that tho post changes of the enrtl are to be studied as the result of force now in action upon it; that tho wbol science of geology is ono vast expresaioi of tho uniformity of law; that its fina lesson, in short, is that which was lon; ngo announced in Holy Writ, "Th thing which has been, this is that whicl shall be, nud there is nothing new uudo the sun." A considcrablo portion of the Jowis populations of Lithuania and Polnn are about to emigrate to the countries o the Don nud tho Caucasus, the romain dor proceeding to North America.

Connoisseurs, go to Pollock's. itinerant preaohor in Weat Tennessee, who, possessing considerable natural eloquence, had gradually become pos? sessed of tho idea that he was alto an ex trabrdihaiy Biblical ooholar. Under thia delusion, he would very frequently, at the claao of hie sermons, ask any member of his congregation who might have a "knotty text" to unravel, to speak it, and ho would explain it at onoe, how? ever much it might have troubled "less 1 distinguished divines." Ou ono occa? sion, in a large audiouce, ho was parti? cularly pressing for some ouo to pro? pound n text; but no ono presuming to do so, he was about to sit down without an opportunity to show his learning, when a chap back by the door nunonnccd ho had a Bible mutter of great "concern," which he desired to be enlightened upon. The preacher, quito nimatedly, professed his willingness and ability, aud the con? gregation was in great excitement. "What i want to know," said tho out? sider, "is whether Job's turkey was a hen or a gobbler." The "expouuder" looked confused, and the congregation tittered as tho questioner capped the climax by exclaim? ing, in a loud voico: "I fotched him dowu on the fust ques? tion!" From that time forward, the practice of asking for difficult passages was dis? continued. A curious story is n?oat about tho Huron James DeRotbschild having sat for his picture somo years ago, to Aly SchefTer, in the character of a beggar. It is added, to completo tho romance, that a chanco visitor seeing tho Baron in the artist's studio, made up for a sitting, and believiug him to bc what ho appear? ed, slipped a louis into his hand. Tho pretended model took the coin, kept it invested for ten years, and then sent back to the donor 10,000 francs as tho accrued profit, with n note to tho effect that a good action always brings good fortune. A distinct corroboration from the giver of the louis, published in a respectable Paris journal, alone prevents this tale from being iucredible. Perhaps no more practical encouragement to charity has ever been recorded, even in connection with the family whose bene? volence has passed into a proverb.

Dec 1G MEMORIAL DAY.-The graves of the Confederate soldiers in aud around Co? lumbia were appropriately remembered yesterday. The ladies had been kept busy-a labor of love-^for several days, preparing wreathes, etc., and in tbe af? ternoon turned out in full force to do honor to tho brave fellows who yielded up their lives in defence of their homes. lu tho morning, the graves in the various church-yards were decorated; the after? noon boiug devoted to the Cemetery. Beforo 5 o'clock, tho crowd began to as? semble, and at half-past 5, a procession numbering several hundred was formed iu front of tho porter's lodge, and, headed by tho Revs. William Martin and J. L. Gorardeau, proceeded, loaded with flow? ery tributes, to the soldiers' lot. Across tho gatewny wns au inscription: "Rest iu your noble graves; posterity shall to thy tombs in grateful reverence come." In tho centro of tho lot was a moss-cov? ered temple, surmounted by tho original Hag of Gen. Gregg's old regiment-tho First South Carolina. Gu tho East purt of tho temple was inscribed: "Lot that tattered banner wave O'er the patriot hero's grave; And tho doad again nindi live. Unfurl that banner-fold it never Liberty Bhall livo forever, And will a resurrection give." . The procession, on arriving, filed in, bends were uncovered, and tho Rev. Mr. Gorardeau offered up a fervent prayer, which was responded to in the hearts of his numerous hearers. Tho ludies and children then passed from grave to grave-the mouud of thogeueral and tho private soldier being treated alike. Tho graves in private lots were th eu looked after; and in a short time tho cemetery was again silent. There was a general suspension of business ou Main street, at 5 o'clock, nearly every store being closed, so that all could partici? pate. Thc weather promised to be un? pleasant-the wind in tho morniug blow in fitful gusts; but by 3 o'clock, it sub? sided; the Bun shone out perfectly clear, and in the heavens scarcely a cloud was to be seen. MECHANICAL AND INDUSTRIAL PUUSUITS. Tho large amount of property owned by the better classes in the South before the war, enabled most of the young men to either take professions or else to lead lives of ease and elegance, without obey? ing that curse of general application to tho human family, viz: "by the sweat of thy brow thou shalt live." The results of the war aud the consequent loss of property render it absolutely necessary that the young men of the day should go to work in earnest, but the feelings which had hitherto been ongeudercd are still unsubdued, aud the geuoral desire aud ambitiouscem to be to avoid, if possible, manual labor, and seek supports from the various professious or such other positions as are considered easy and gen? teel. Tho old theory that labor was not houorable, in one sense of the word, must explode, and mechanical pursuits must rank high in this country and de? mand the time, attention and services of our very best men. Young men are still aspiring to the professions, until lawyers, physicians, and clerks in every depart? ment, are too numerous, and most of the cities are crowded to death with these non-produoing consumers. Another de? partment can boast of its supernume? raries, viz: life insurance-agents aro found here and there and everywhere. It would be better if some of these young men would turn their attention to other pursuits-lend their aid and intel? lect to improving tho agricultural re? sources of the country, nnd turn their genius to thoinvention and practical utili? ty of usof ul inventions, as well as working at those trades, such as the educated me? chanic and machinist have rendered use? ful, sciontifio, honorable and remunera? tive. Some persons have formed the er? roneous opinion that tho educated men aro fitted for something higher than tho avocations of the farmer, but it is an established fact, that educated farmers, where they can unite practical sense with cultivated theory, are tho most success? ful. Tho PIUENIX oflico is supplied with every stylo of material from tho small metal letter to tho largest wood type, together with plain and fancy cards, paper, colored ink, bronze, etc. It is tho only establishment in tho interior of tho State whero two aud three sheet posters can bo printed.

Police? man Alteo tendered his resignation, which was accepted, and a colored man, named .Daniels, was appointed in his place. A petition was received from the Board of Trade-that they be allowed to elect tho cotton-weighers, which was re? ceived, with the understanding that the request would be considered by Coun? cil.
