Of tho work of 1867 54dmile in active ope-
ration. Through the winter months accumulation OF
material for extending the roBl gave promise OF removed
vigor this year, and HE fact that 60 miles have been
built and equipped since TIM frost far out Of
the ground to admit of tratk laying, shows that that
promise will be fulfilled An immense force of aboers

When we took change of the ttVindicator.. in
the early part of 1863, amid the excitement and
disturbed condition of affairs incidental to state
of War, on account of lack of printing material
together with small subscription list, we could
furnish you with but a half sheet as was the then
necessitatcd custom of our contemporaries. Al
though we were greeted, continually by the addi-
ton OF new subscribers and the return of old ones
who had been patrons Of the t'Vindcator" for
many years. and whose connection with it was
severed only by its suspension at the opening Of
hostilies, yet, from inability procure necessary
material, we were unable to express our thanks
practically by the issue of whole sheet until July
1885, AS our patrons increased we, from time to
time, enlarged our paper This increase having
steadily continued old SIZE for several months
past has failed to meet our requirements and do
justice to you. Accordingly we made our prepa-

AS VIC issue the enlarged paper at our old sab

subscribers-just such as you yourselves are flor
be it known that the large majority of you are
prompt in paying your subscriptions to the Vindi-
Gator, even in these hard times, and very many
never fail to pay in advance, and you will have
made ample return for our efforts to furnish you

us to add features, heretofore novel to the weekly

The Instruction in Cnba-ReinfOrcement
Seut to Operate Against the Insurgents
Alarm in Havana.

Hauana, October 24.-When the rain
ceases, three columns of infantry and caval-
ry will leave Manzanillo to operate against
the insurgents. A combination of the for
ces with those under Col Lono, fIom Tunis,
will be formed, which will completely sur
round the insurrectionists in Maniti
About one hundred and fifty Instruction
lists attacked a gunboat which had just ar
rived at Maniti. The gunboat responded
to the insurgents fire, and defeated them,
causing them to retreat Before the insur-
gents left Maniti they committed some acts
of vandalism The town of Maliti was burn
ed
The Captain General, Lersundi, issued
orders to hurry forward reinforcements
Last night the police brought to this city,
from Cienfuegos, the prisoners Juan Guz-
man, Dolincan, and Lagunida. The gov
eminent official, who was pretending to act
as guide, led the troops into ambush. These
prisoners are reported to be concerned in the
murder Of gems darms who were made prison
ers by the insurrectionists This city is
quiet. The citizens are little uneasy at
the alarming reports now being circulated.
Lersundi has taken every precautionary
measure to insure tranquility.
Havala, Oct 24.-The steamer from
Madrid, due here on the Both, is expected
to bring out DEGREES of the junta, establish
ing political reforms All the available
troops in and around Havana have been sent
to the disturbed districts. The Captain
Generals palace is now guarded by volun-

A New PLAN OF CONTRACTS WITH FREED
MEN.-Among the various styles Of contracts
with the freedmen none seem to work better
than the following, which has been largely
adopted in South Carolina: The farmer fur
nishes pillow animals and farm implements,
and keeps all under his own care and con-
troll. He gives to each laborer house and
as much land as he can cultivate on his own
account, and frewood--all free. The en-
ployee works for the planter the first half of
the week, and works for himself the balance
of the time The laborer meets his own ex-
penses, and while working his own crop has
the free use Of the pillow animals and all the
required plantation tools. The laborers
have no claim on the planters crop, but have
absolute control Of their own By this ar
rangement the negroes obtain house, land,
frewood, and the use for three days of every
week of all the plantation animals and tools
for three days labor every week in cultiva-
ting the employers crop. And the employ
er has all the expense Of feeding the stock
and keeping up the establishment Those
who have tried this plan says it works to the
satisfaction of both parties, and gives to the
laborer who behaves himself permanent
home and an interest in the place he cult
Yates, and avoids the dissatisfaction often
attending division of the crop.

We heartily endorse this enterprise, and cheerful
ly commend to the good people of Harrisonburg
and elsewhere, this great improvements the Gas
lighting system. Some ten months ago we first
noticed this patent Gas at the Maltby House Bal
timore. Its briliancy, softness ard superiority
lead to inquiry and when apprised of its nature,
cost &C., we at once suggested it to the Gas me-
of our town who proceeded to adopt it. Since
itsintroduction some three months ago we are
happy to state that it has given entire satisfaction
wherever it has been farely tested Upon enquiry
we learn from the Super intendent of our Gas
Company that one FIVE foot burner is, according
to photometer test equivalent to from 10 to 81
English sperm candles. City standard gas va
ries from IL to l6 English sperm candles. Its
light tho strong, is soft and pleasant, and the
most commendable feature about it is its cheap
ness, as it can be produced for much less than
half the cost of any other gas.
