Tho Cuban Situation.

Anu OoOhu SNuRtiOn.
The Madrid correspondent of the
London Times expresses confidently
the belief that the declamations of
the partisans of Immediate and un-
conditional emancipation in Spain,
have produced some commotion
among the shareholders of Cuba.
Others maintain that the unwise po-
licy which Spain has pursued of 60
verning Cuba with the sole and sin
gle idea of wringing from it Us much
trihnte Sc = could be made TO yield,
and totally ignoring the native Gu
bans in the distribution of official
patronage, has led those disaffected
by these causes to avail themselves
of the revolution in Spain to strike q
blow which might lead to o redress
of grievances, or possibly to inde-
pendence. Gen. Dulce, the newly
appointed Captain General of Cuba,
has sailed from Cadiz for Havana,
with achievements, but he can hard
ly arrive before the middle of Janu-
ary. Official announcement has been
made in Madrid that the election of
the Cuban deputies to tho Cortes
will be held after his arrival; hut un-
less the revolution is crushed before
that time, it can scarcely be pacified
by SO tardy and inadequate method
of redressing inequalities and wrongs.
Gen. Dulce, however, has admins
tered the Government of Cuba be-
fore, with great acceptance to the
people as we'll rs the Government,
and if any one, by personal popula-
rity, as we'll as proprietary interests
i'll the island, can bring matters TO an
amicable adjustment, he is the man.
1t is curious, that while Spain was
getting mp n revolution, Cuba should
go into the same business on her own
account, and it would be edifying to
know how Gen. Dulce can condemn
the Cnbans for rebellion, when he
has just been committing the same
crime at home. Or is it the failure
in which the iniquity of rebellion
consists? Another contradictory
thing is the sympathy manifested in
the United States for Cuba and at
the same time for Spain. The Balti-
more San declares that our hearts
appear to be large enough to hold
both combatants, though possibly
before we go into Mysteries over the
Cuba movement, it might he well
enough to ascertain, in view of the
possibility of its being revolt against
emancipation, whether we are not
weeping on the wrong side.

The Columbus Sun very properly
thinks "it is curious way to cele-
brate Christ's natal day by getting
drunk and doing the very opposite
to his teachings" We fully agree
with our cotemporary. 1t is pity
that we Americans cannot find some
way of general rejoicing without the
aid of whiskey. 1t is a very bad
habit to say the least of it. Perhaps,
though, we are such matter of fact,
dollar-hunting people, that it re-
quires an artificial stimulant to ele-
vate us above the atmosphere of cot
ton and dry goods.

CAsH.-Our terms are strictly cash.
If an advertisement is to be inserted,
hand over the money; if paper is
subscribed for, the money must ac-
company the order-otherwise no
attention will be paid to them. This
is rule which will be adhered to.
The Northern papers are full OF
learned articles of prodigious length
upon "the wants of the South"
How insufferable the vanity which
prompts few Northern travellers to
suppose themselves better informed
upon the economy of the South than
it's own people. Pride, we are told,
ever has its fall; how long will it be
before this arrogance and umption
meet with their just deserts?

CHRISTMAS TREE AT THE BAPTIST
CHURCH. Messrs. M. E. Cooper, D.
Jones and others connected with the
Baptist Sunday School, prepared n
Christmas tree, and on Friday last,
a crowd of highly elated little NOR
tails inspected the wonderful tree,
and obtained samples of the fruit it
bore.
Carolina Hall was tastefully deco
rated last night, and a goodly num-
ber of the wives and sweethearts of
the soldiers attached to the garrison
at this post, whiled away several hours
stripping the light fantastic toe. {"
The music-furnished by the 9Th
Infantry band, under the leadership
of Mr.. kenstler-was most excellent.
CHRISTMAS DINNERS FOR THE Poor.
Our Mayor and Council, ever
mindful of the wants and pleasures
of those who, Unfortunately, are de-
pendentupon the public for support,
determined to give the occupants of
the Poor House and the Freedmen's IS
Hospital Christmas dinner. A
subscription was taken up among the
members of the Board, and liberal
amount III cash contributed; call
was then made upon the butchers
and the occupants of stalls in the
market, every one of whom-white
as well as colored-respondcd freely
and promptly, with meat, fowls and
vegetables. A committee was ap-
pointed, superintendent by the Mayor,
the necessary preparations made,
and about 2 o'clock, on the 25tL,
everything was declared ready, and
the tables were soon filled by Il large
number Of aged, sick and infirm in
di"iduals, of both sexes, whose hearts
were made glad, by this substantial
evidence Of good feeling from their
moro fortunate fellow citizens. It
was quite journey from the one
point to the othcr-tho Frecdmen's
Hospital being at one extremity of
the city and the Poor House at the
other-but many persons visited the
two, and by pleasant words and kind
greetings, still further gratifed the
participants i'll this truly charitable
demonstration. The affair will long
be remembered with pleasure by
those who were present.
The property disposed of yester-
day, brought fair prices, considering
the times. There was considerable
competition. The following are the
principal sales: The "Kinsler's Hall'
lot, corner OF Richardson and Taylor
streets, containing one,fourth of an
acre, was bought by Mr.. G. Diercks,
at $1,000 The Kinsler brick yard
property was bought by Governor
Sprague, of Rhode Island, for $22,-
$50. The Kinsler homestead lot,
in Cotton Town, 214 acres, 81, 200.
The "oid homestead, on Richardson
street, near Blanding, brought $2,-
500. Several lots below the College
brought sums, varying from $12O to
$500 per acre. We understand that
Gov. Scott and several other parties
have purchased, at good prices, seve-
raj lots along the canal, with the in
tention of erecting manufactures.
Let the good work go on. Columbia
will, in few years, we sincerely be-
lieve, be one of the principal manu-
featuring towns in the South. She
has many facilities-the principal
being railroad communication in
half dozen different directions, be-
sides unequalled water power.

IF the milk is to be sold wit hou
being manufactured into butter or
cheese, there are many kinds Of food
which may be given to force the
quantity that would injure the butter.
For instance, 0ilcake is not right for
making nice sweet butter, nor fax
seed, nor is swill, or any oily, greasy
feed. Straw Is altogether out OF the
question; hay, cut after 1t has been IA
bloom and the seed commenced to
ripen, is only a few degrees better;
thresh out the seed and knock OF the
leaves, and it is about equal.

or two, somewhere about this time
last year, or it might have been ear
lier in the season, In which he clearly
proved by his experience the vast
difference between hay cut when the

He formerly gave meal, &c, to help
force milk, but since making bis bay

cows greatly increased their. milk.
