(Sftwrnl Items, Correspondence of the -Columbia Banner. Anderson* C. Ii., July 14, 1S31. The Stockholders oflho Columtiinnnd Ci'reeu l I i .i T-> - r a. / I 1. viiie nauroau convened ai me naj.u-t wnurcu of this place yesterday, at 9 o'clock, A. ??I.? The meeting was very large?19,000 shares were represented. Thu Animal Reports were submitted by the President, Treasurer, Engineer, and Superintendant. T iiese reports u ere referred to a Committee of which (Jen. IIar;ison of this place, was Chairman. 1 am happy to kay that they present a very gratifying condition of thing--, and that the good fortunes of the Company may now be said to be secured beyond contingency. This moruinu the Committee repoited, and the Report with certain Resolutions of great importance, was adopted with great unanimity. Hie most important tf these Resolutions were,"that the Company issue its Bonds for $200,000, if so much be necessary to meet the present wants of tin; C??m pany, and that the Stockholders be authorized to lucutc ancic so much of the Road as v.i.l protect it permanently against freshets, 'i'hese two measures are indispensably necessary, and when carried out, will have the best effect upon the interests of the Company. In the adoj>tion of this last mea-ure, the Stockholders have differed in opinion with the Otiieers of the Road, who recommend that the end could hesecured by the improvement of the jresinl track. Rut the difference in e.\j?cn?C was tri lling, and I think that the Stockholders have acted wisely in ordering a new track altogether. Another important measure which lias been adopted, is that application be made to the next Legislature for a Charter to run a Road from some point on this Road, at or near 'DO, to Aiken or Hamburg. This is judged necessary to protect this Company against the in fluences of other corporations. The following gentlemen have been electa! President and Directors of the Company for the next year: Thomas C. Peri in, President; Kilgore, V. McBooe, J. P. Reid, Judge Whitner, 1". (?. Thomas, Joel Smith, J. B. O'Xeall, S. Fair, D. Nance, J. V. Lvlcs, VV. Patten and D..;iiel Blake. ( The Salary < f the President has ecu increased to ?3,500. Before Judge O'Neall vacated the Presidency, Resolutions of the most complimentary character were introduced by Col. Orr, and unanimously adopted. To these he responded in a mo-i appropi iate maimer. Mr Perrin on taking the chair made a neat and suitable address, in which he thanked the meeting for the high compliment which had becu paid him; and pledged his best efforts to the interests of the Company. One of the last acts of the Convention was to tender to the Judge and his wife, a ticket for life to travel the Road free of charge. The Convention adjourned at about 11 o'clock, and repaired to a beautiful grove in the neighborhood, to partake of a Dinner which had been provided for the Stockholders,by the citize:i3??f this District. It was one of the largest assemblages which I have ever seen in Carolina; it can only be beaten iu Georgia, where there is a greater facility for gathering a crowd, than any community with which lam acquainted. Addresses were made by Col. Perrin, Judge O'Neal!, and others. Thus ends the meeting ; and soon will be heard the u his tie of the engine bearing the multitude to their respective habitations. I koow that you will be pleased to be assured, that the services of Judge O'Xeall are fully appreciated; that the Stockholders feel that they owe every thing to him ; that he has built a road upwards of 100 miles long in thomidst of difficulties winch h;we never before been encountered in our Staie, and which would have paralyzed any one else. He commenced the Road with a subscription of about a fourth only of what was necessary to huild it, and a large portion even of that not immediately available; he has had to contend against the lloods which suddenly swept from before his eyes a large portion of the Road?in the m'ubt of unnumbered difficulties lie has managed to maintain the credit of the Company, and now ha retires with the proud satisfaction of having built the longe.t Road in the State, and leaving its affiirs in : prosperous condition. His successor is well known to you. A gentleman of the purest i character, of high intelligence and education, of known energy and devotion, and thorough ! drilling in the practical affairs of life, the Road ' must prosper under his administration. The Road, we know, has its enemies but it has triumphed over them. Rival interests have been arrayed against it, and Heaven and earth have been invoked lor its destruction. Never was there an cnterpiise more slandered ; but it yet stands, and will stand, a noble mnuumcui of the zeal and patriotism of its projectors, and the bright messenger of blessings untold and unnumbered for general ions yet unborn. The i beautiful village where I now write, islitcrallv one of its creations, it is now in progress of rapid growth and improvement, and presents already all the appliances of highest refinement anil civilization.

The editor of the Buffalo Republic, speaking of t tie editor of the National Democrat, -says: " We authorize him to tell the President of the United Stales that we consider it neither our business nor his, sj??i- any body's else in this country, how ?0011 Spain abolishes slavery in ; Cuba." But suppose that England induces Spain to give the island of Cub;, tip to the blacks, for the purpose of revenging itself upon the United States; and suppose, also, that Spain is a partner in this English hostility and insult, would it then be ' none of your business"' whether the island svero tints destroyed or not? Suppose, furthermore that England desires to consolidate on our Southern border an immense negro empire, hostile to us, and friendly to herself, which she eouid, whenever she wished, vol li'cp nti nrmr nf <lr>vil-c nnnn Sunt horn l>hit<?5 ; and suppose that giving Cuba to the Unci;* were the first step of that nefarious design, would that be none of "our business ?" The very fact that England is moving and meddling in this matter makes it pre-eminently "our business;" and wo rlionld be unworthy of oar place among the nations, were we, f >r a single moment, to entertain the idea of * . . it* , , sunmiLtmg t'j sucli uiot;ili?>? ntio it.suit, i lit* whole American people (always exempting thu frecsoiJers of this State) would ri-e up in laceration of any President who should submit to such a thing. So far as we have relation - with Spain, every principle of just law will be sacredly regarded, so long as she honorably performs her part. Hut the moment that the jealousy and oflic'ousness of England, or any oilier power, is allowed t<? dictate terms between lis, the moment that Spain allows herself to be used as a tool of England, to punish the United States, that moment we should make it ''our business" to say what shall be done with Cuba. The fate of i!i;- Island is vastly "our bus;ness" anyhow ; ;.:;d it is destined to become the Southern outwork of our confederation. Our possession of Cuba wouidlock up twelve thousand miles of our coast to an unfriendly power, and is therefore indispensable to complete the chain of our national defence. Vv'o can therefore never allow i; to be transferred to any other power, nor can we allow it b, ; form any other part of an cmpke 'blacks, left there to to a horde of cava , . -s in the p..y of England. If J ' inland and Spain contemplate any sooli [dot, i.hey will find that I we sh;ill make it "our business to cheek it in j the bud. The march of our destiny is not only " mani fust," hut it is irresistible; and neither British jealousy nor Castilian revenge will be .allowed to punish us for it. When our ocean boundaries are complete on every sit!'.'; when no other nation presses against <>ur line; when the .Mexican Gull'is encircled by our territory alone, and Cuba, the cb sing gem of this imperial ring, in?b!) bars its entrance to every foe, and holds faithful watch am! ward over this our own exclusive inland sea, with a'l its two thuiioind miles of coast and harbor?the outlet of twelve thousand miles of internal navigation?and i.s herself the centre and crossing point of our newhorn monopoly of the trade beyond the I'acifir; when the continents are rent a-uoder (v muhe a channel for the revolutionized commerce of the Kast to pour its inexhaustible wealth into our coffers; when the insane and fratricidal strife of sections shall have, yielded to defined principles, founded on a broader filial love f??r tiic Union, and a deeper respect for the oblimi ions of the federal compact; then our il-tg will rei'ju over the union of tlie oceans, ami the circle of our greatness will lie complete.

Mr. Editor?Tlie President and Chief Engiccr of the Spartanburg aud Union Iiail lload old out strong aud favorable inducements to lbscribors at this place to take Stock. The eslblishing of Machine and Work Shops here, is f itself sufficient inducement, if all other advances were lost sight of, to subscribe liberally and roinptly. This of course must throw something ke t\Vo hundred mechanics in a business here, liicli otherwise would not be carried on. The mount of money which would.be necessarily exended in the erection of such important enterrises could hardly be estimated at less than ouble the amount of Stock subscribed for by ic citizens of Columbia. In view of these reills, is it not reasonable, and manifestly the du> of tiie people without a moment of delay to ike a suflieient amount of Stock to insure so nportaut an enterprise in our midst ? and one liicli must of necessity add largely to the bu.-i ess and prosperity of Columbia. In regard to ic worthy and enterprisi.ig President of the partanburg and Union Pond, if he has a supeor in South Carolina I do not know it. I have nown him intimately and well for fifteen or venty years, and for sound judgment and praceal business habits, and success in all matters ther of a public or private character, he has been ininently sin cess In I, indeed 1 am notad vised of nv undertaking in which he ha-engaged which w o o n as failed. In iiis own District he is very popular and ighly appreciated.

J Gentlemam : Your paper to-day contains a communication from Louisville, Kentcky signed "A subscriber." asking for information regarding the sy stem of the British Government in the disposal of recaptured Africans. Y'ou have I br i eve, correctly stated ibe course pursued by the British cruisers on the Western ? coast of Africa, but you are unahlc to say what becomes of the captured slave taken by British men of war upon the coast of Cuha. Biing desiiious of affuiding you that information, I propo e to state what my own per-o mil knowledge, during a residence of the best 1 a t of my ii.'e, in Cuba. 1 know to be true. When a British cruiser captures a slaver and tal.es Iter with her ca go in'o any Cuban port, a board'ofcommis-inneis vailed commission mixta, or mixed eoinini?ion, takes cognisance of the whole matter, and after, a full investigation i eports accordingly. This com mis-ion is com- j posed of English and Spanish officers. If the ve-sel be clrthned a lav fill niize, she is re* tainerl as Mich In l.cr captors, and her slaves arc Rinded and placed under the charge of the Onanism . niboritii s. 'i liese slaves are known as re:. .1 i??="!? ? and fire deposited by the :miiaoiitie ai the burr: emus t*? letnain in the ilj. i.|' .-I;ivi s v ! .r i0:1 and s?-m? liine> fifteen wars, for which time t! ev are sold j'.>r the sum ofeLht il uii 1 o equal to ?-130. They a!* ways i: n t with a i.ady sale, hut their uiisciUpulou.a rr o.-sier- ran ly if ever return them to l .u autlmri. ics ; lor, though a register is always kepi, and tin-;. I.e claimed at the e\) iralion of the slipulateil time of Service, yet a false cer tilieate id'death is quite sufficient to seal their doom forever. 'he same ill notice is carried on in regard to the offVp!ing of female cmancipados. Hither its i irrI* is not registod, or the tin the:', ignorant oi lier freedom, passes oft' a-?, a id is claimed 10 1(0, a slave. When it is considered that at the time cf their o piuie and introduction they are more savages, ate! speak no other but their native tongue, mid thai lin y new masters are very careful nevet to inform them ef their condition as eiiianeij ados, hut keep them in common wi'h oilier slaves on their plantations, it will not he wondered thai liny remain forever in bondage, ami thus the most solemn compact is grossly violated, and African slaves.recaptured by the Ihitish cruisers derive no lietiefit whatevct thereol'and their condition differs not fioin those who are successfully introduced hy Spanish slavers. In ISM, 1 think, the number of emancipado At'ieai.s iutroduced in Cuba, composed of I L'ongos Lueiimees, Carahaless, Ganges, and other tribes, were calculated to be from fifteen to twenty thousand. How far that number lias swelled I am not able to say.
