FROM HAvANA.-The correspond
ent of the New York Times, in that
paper of the 10Th, announces that,
Notwithstanding the recent proclama-
tion of the Captain General regard
ing the slave trade with Cuba, large
cargo of negroes has recently been
landed near Havana. The military
revolt recently reported ut Porto Rico
originated with n corporal and few
soldiers under his orders. With the
arrest of the bolligerent corporal, the
"revolt" was at an end. The office
of the American Consul was hand
somely decorated with flags on the
4th of July, and fine band treated
the American residents to few of
their national airs. The rates of toll
adopted by the Cable Company are as
follows: To Key West, $3.5 for
twenty words; $1.75 for ten, and
twenty cents for every word over
twenty. To England, $3.50 for
twenty words, $2G.75 for ten; and
S2.75 for every word over twenty. To
Ceylon. $S1 for twenty words; and
S31.25 for ten. To the United States.
to any part, SO for twenty words;
and 20 for ten; and fifty cents for
every word over twenty.

Hon. w. w. Boycc.
States.

We find the following brief extract
of letter from our former Repre-
sentative in Congress, in the Claren-
don Press. IL is addressed to Mr..
Galluchat, Of that District:
A word as to the public matters. I
think our people oughC 10 register
and participate i'll the elections. To
do nothing, will be to commit sui
eide. [ think the great point is to
carry out General Hampton's ideas,
and show themselves thereby the
friends of the colored people. Our
people should recognize what is in
evitable i'll regard to the legal and
political rights of the blacks, and
grant of their own volition what will
be given i'll spite of them. BY this
course, harmony between the two
races will be maintained. and politi-
cal power i'll the State will remain in
safe hands. All expressions through
the press or otherwise against the
dominant party here should be avoid
ed. 1t is impossible at this time for
the Democratic party to help the
South. The great object with the
South now should be to get cstab-
lished in their political rights. Then
feeling of confidence will take the
place of present insecurity, and capi-
tai flow in from the North.
L feel intensely for the unhappy
condition of my Southern friends.
You must not be discouraged-strug-
gle on-alfairs must improve.
With kind wishes, your friend,
WILLIAM w. BOYCE.

- I. a T ~.
WAsHrNeToN July IL, 1867. - The
Housebill on reconstruction win, sub
stantially, pass the Senate. Full
power will be given to the command
ing generals to remove any persons
from Office they choose, andlt ap-
point others in their stead.
( The amendment of Ashley, re-
quiring all the State officers to take
the oath of having been always loyal
to the Union, will not pass. This
would necessarily yacate all the offices
Mt once.
Gen. SicLles' letter, advising Con
gress to exempt judicial officers from
the oath of past loyalty, produces no
effect here, except that the General is
laughed at for his pains. The Con-
gress understand this point perfectly.
What they are determined upon more
than anything else is, to Danish from
Office all persons mingled in seces-
sion. After awhile, there will doubt
less be mitigations in this particular,
and especially will Congress be dis
posed to exempt from the proscrip-
ton of holding Office all who mani-
fest disposition to accept the new
order of things, i'll other words, to
join the Republican party. Very
soon, the political millennium will be-
gin, which means that every good
Republican South will get just as
good an Office as he wants. Isn't that
the millennium? Think of everything
going begging, from United States
Senator to District Judge All these
excellent Offices will be vacant, Just
waiting for good Union men and Re
publicans to take possession of them.
Now, is not that the millennium for
the politicians who can answer the
description? The information which
the Republican organization possess
here of the condition of affairs in
your State, las in every Southern
State the prominent Union men and
Republicans, &C., is wonderful. Their
organization is perfect. They are in
constant correspondence with men
whom they trust, in your State, and
they can tell, in moment, by refer
ring to their records, who are the
coming men in every District of the
State.
Impeachment has broken down.
The inability of the committee to
whom this matter was referred to
make any report, shows what q failure
the scheme is. Mr.. Wilson, (of the
House., the chairman of the commit
tee, takes the ground that impcach-
ment cannot take place without pre-
vious law defining what are impeacha-
BILE offences. This is al amusing
dodge. The truth is, the moneyed
interest don't want impeachment,
because they want tranquility; and
the argument is, that impeachment is
unnecessary, because they say the
President is absolutely powerlcss.

PITHILY SAID. The Richmond
Wig thus concludes an editorial on
the political situation:
We arc in difficulties, and there is
but one way of getting out of them,
and that is by "co-operation" with
the dominant party. The sentiments
that carried us into the war will not
be aHo'ced to get us triumphantly out
Of these difficulties. He who falls
into quagmire must escape from it
t. best way he can. If he cannot
get out alono anu unaided, he must
be helped out, or stick there and pc
rish. If he likes the quagmire better
than the proffered help, and refuses
it, he will have nobody but himself
to blame.

DEATH OF AN OLD CHARLESTON
MEEcHANT.-We received, last night,
the painful Intelligence of the sudden
death of Mr.. Jas. K. Robinson, an
old and esteemed merchant and citi-
zen. Mr.. Robinson was in the streets
attending to his usual avocations on
Saturday, when he was affected by q
partial sun-stroke; in order to relieve
himself, he drank largely of cold ice
water; this produced a >ongestive
chill, which terminated fatally at 6
p. m. yesterday.

EUROPE. general impression
in political circles in Paris is that no
great event will result from the inter
view of the Emperor Napoleon with
the Gar and the King of Prussia.
At the same time, it is noticeable
that all the great military sovereigns
are giving unusual attention to the
augmentation and perfecting of both
armies and fleets The Paris cores
pondent of the London Morning Post
says:
"The warlike policy of France is q
great European disaster; it may be in
some measure the result of outward
events, and the Emperor Napoleon
might prefer solemn congress for
disarming; but the fact stands thus
in 1867, when Europe enjoys peace,
France asks her children to become
soldiers to the amount of nearly
100000 of menl And this, too,
whilst the sovereigns fraternize in the
great exhibition of peace and indus
try, which is called the world s .fete de
la Paiw"

LITTLE IEELANDs. The New Yorl

LITTLE IEELANDs.-The New York
Times says:
"Tho Express accepts the truth of
the report about q Russian PROPOSE
ton for joint inquiry into the State
of affairs i'll Ireland, and adds: AS
we happen to have just now ten little
Irelands Of our own on hand, and if
there is to be any Joint inquiry, we
suggest that it begin on this side of
the Atlantic The state OF affairs
in Louisiana, Mississippi, the Caro-
linas, &c, are quite rs much in need
of investigation as the state of affairs
on the Liffey, on the Shannon, or on
the Boyne. This is very smart, we
suppose; but then suppose that be-
fore the Car, the Emperor and the
Queen got the joint commission ap-
pointed, or before its members got at
their labors on this continent, our
'ten little Irelands' had transformed
themselves into ten free, self-goycrn-
ing, equal, constitutional States,
what, we ask, would the Express say.
and the commissioners report, and
the Car think? For, unlike the
Hibernian Ireland, onr ten little
Irelands' have it in their power to
redeem themselves.
The Times had not then seen the
new reconstruction Act.

VEGETABLES IN COLUMBIA. There
is much truth in the remarks and sug-
gestions of the following paragraph,
from the Clarendon Press. We are
gratified to be able to inform our CO.
temporary that Columbia. at this
time, has abundance of vegetables,
raised in her own gardens, and the
market stalls are over-laden with gar
den products. The suggestion of the
Press is, however, very good:
Columbia, we learn, is in part
supplied from the market gardens in
the neighborhood of Charleston.
Since cotton has ceased to be q pay
ing crop, and since fruits, vegetables,
&C., meet with ready sale at fair
prices, we see not why it is that Co
lumbia has not market gardens suf-
ficient to supply its own consump-
ton. One well-tilled market garden
of five acres, in the neighborhood of
such o city as Columbia, will yield q
larger profit than 100 acres in cotton.
Here is fine opportunity for q skill
full and Industrious young man to lay
the ground-work of a fortune

TIE FoURTH IN YoRKvIILE. The
celebration in Yorkyille was attended
by at least A, 900 people, three.foarths
ofwhom were colored. The E,quirot,
says that it never saw q better be-
haSed assemblage. A fine barbecue
had been prepared, and among the
speeches delivered was the following
excellent address. which we extract
from the Enquireo''s report:
Jefferson Mccall, (colored,) pre-
sident of the assembly, then rose,
and in speech Of over half hour,
clearly and impressively advised with
his people upon their duties and re-
sponsibilities. Our interests, he said,
were now one. Together the people
of this country, black md white
alike, must stand. or together fall.
The white people of this vicinity had
given unmistakable evidence of their
kind feelings towards the colored
people, and he could see no reason
why they should not mutually sustain
each other as well under their new
relations rs in the past, when they
were master and slave. He alluded
feelingly to his old mistress, whose
spirit had been with God these many
years, but whose memory was still
with him; and the only compunction
he felt now was, that he had not been
half as faithful and as kind to her,
when slave, rs be should have been.
These fifty-one years he had lived
with the white people, and he had
always found them the friends of
those who conducted themselves pro.
perly. He advised his people against
aliyinS themselves with any party,
but to ascertain their duty to their
State, and to do what was best for its
interests. Bad men, he said, could
be found in every community, and
with bad men the freed people should
have nothing TO do; but they should
respect sacredly their contracts, and
trust in those only who trusted in
God. He closed with cordial invi-
tation to the white people present to
go with them to the table and "eat q
piece of bread and drink water togc-
ther." His address was well received,
and created q most favorable impress
sion upon all who heard it. It did
much to disarm prejudices, and bring
the two classes in this District into a
closer friendship and more compre-
hensive understanding OF their inte-
rests in union with each other.

BUSINESS IN New YorK.-Thc
Times says:
The trade of the past week en-
braced only five business days. The
holiday interruption made rather
dull week. A large number Of mer-
chants left town on Tuesday and
Wednesday, not to return until this
morning. The interruption was less
noticeable in bank and on the Stock
Exchange ana at the Treasury. The
banks and Treasury paid out very
large amount of July dividend
money, including several millions for
the Western States, two of which,
Indiana and Iowa, paid off part OF the
principal of their respective debts.
The collection and rc-investment of
this money, and the conversion of
the United States gold interest into
currency, made an active time in
Wall street, and added largely to
the demand for the public funds at
advancing rates. The money mar
ket, already as cheap rs could be
desired, was made easier in supply,
and this, in turn, contributed to the
buoyancy of the stock exchange.
The weather continues all that could
be wished for, so far rs the wheat
harvest and the growing crops of
corn and cotton are concerned, and
the best calculations made on the
fall trade, and its attendant railway
traffic, are likely to be realized.
The Herald says:
The failure of a large dry goods
house in this city-that of George
A. Wicks e Co.-bas thrown dry
goods paper into some discredit for
the time being, and the rumor that
two other prominent firms in the
same business are privately settling
with their creditors, adds to the dis
trust thus occasioncd. The liabili-
ties of the firm referred to in the
United States are said to aggregate
$500, 900, and it is expected that
it will pay dividend of forty or
fifty cents on the dollar. The failure
is attributed to losses by dcprecia-
ton of stock during the past year.
