The REsERvE.-The Summit Beacon, in
reference 80 the prospecs in that county,
says: !
ave do not know Of a single voter in
lhe county, who. voted for Taylor in 1913,
who will not vote for Scott in '52. While
in this toton alone we have the names Of
more than FIFTY who voted for Van Blu.
rem, hut are now open, earnest friends Of
Scott. We are assured by friends at C..
Falls, thar they have already the names Of
between TWENTY and THIRTY there who vo-
ted for Van Buren, who arc now devoted
friends of Scott. Similar assurances reach
us from Tallmadge, Hudson. Richfeld, and
other towns in the county,"
From most other counties on the Reserve
the accounts are equally encouraging, and
in that region there is not room TO doubt that
Scott will gain largely over the Taylor vote
Of 1848, which with the large accessicns to
our forces from the ranks of our opponents
in other sections, must inevitably secure the
vote Of the State to Scott.
FROM HAvANA.-We have files from Ha.
vana to the ed instant, by which i. appears
now TO be beyond all doubt that the Creoles
Of this Island did intend 10 make a stroke
for independence, and that it was TO have
commenced atthe San Cristobal, in the WI.
eta del Abajo, some time in the month Of
August. 1t seems now TO be we'll under
stood that this wa defeated by the measures
of the Government, in consequence Of the
plans of the Creole party being divulged to
the Government by the informer, Chapotin
y Patin. They expected 10 rise, and hand
hold out through the Island until succored
by the United States.
The repor, of the massacre Of Captain
Stevens and ffiy.six Of his men by the Ca.

" The Medina Wing, speaking Of the
tax law says: ia. na
The Auditor Of State finds il difficult 10
sustain his first instructions in relation TO
the tax law. He exempts clothing, grain in
the ground, and food; but the zaw does no
such thing, or at least nobody but the State

The law says that "every tangible thing, be-.
ing the subject of ownership, whether an

lion, after deduc,ing $500. Every sensible
man understands by that that there is no ex.
cepiion whatever.
"The fact is, the law has been found so
unpopular, that the State Auditor, 10 save his
party from its odium, has been compelled
10 give the law constructions which the
common sense Of its language will not bear.
