The Accurate View OF the Situation
The Charleston Courier, Of June 80,
publishes the following letter from
highly influential and respectable citizen
of Havana, received by mercantile
house in Charleston, which presents as
accurate view of the situation as it is
possible to obtain: ...-.
HAVANA, June Is, 1869.-The discrep-
ancies between Spanish and Cuban &C.
counts in regard TO current events and the
general situation are 30 great, that it is
extremely difficult to form an opinion az
to real facts. There are misstatements and
inventions of very gross nature in the
accoun.s brought by the United States pa
eers. But the official statements in the
Island are also, in many respects, iucredi-
bic, confused and Inconsistent. The Gu
ban reports frequently announce impor-
tant victories over the troops, and yet it
does not appear that the insurgents have
been able to hold any town, even in the
interior away from the seacoast Official
accounts almost invariably represent the
rebels as being easily defeated, even
when in large numbers. The govern
ment organ is constantly repeating that
| the instruction is dominated. Yet the
reports of engagements between the
troops and the rebels, given by the same
journal, are much more numerous now
than they were short time ago. Some
of the accounts published this week indi-
cate that the rebels are learning to fight,
even in the central district, and are be-
coming more daring in attack. The lists
Of persons whose property is enlarged
are swelling up, and the prospect of re-
Cancellation or compromise is as hopeless
as ever. In manifesto which the volur-
teers lately issued, speaking in the
name Of the Spanish party, there
are plausible arguments for delay
ing any concessions to the Cubans,
but nothing is said about the absolute
necessity Of administrative reforms,
which might tend to conciliate and to
diminish the abuses which provoked the
instruction. Numerous accounts have
been published this week, of skirmishes
and encounters in the Oriental Departs
ment in the Central Districts. One o

, journal gives no late intelligence from

that the town is threatened by larg
J insurgent force, and that the chief autho
rity has expressed his inability to fur

THE THREAT OF CoNF1scATIoN AGAIN.
It is very hard for Mr.. Wendell Phillips
to learn that the people of the South are
not to be governed through their fears
He is thoroughly infuriated by the recent
election in Virginia, and now declares
that 'the only way to save the negro vote
to the radicals, is to seize the Southern
plantations and divide them up among
the freedmen" The people of the South
have no fears of Mr.. Phillips. His
scheme OF 'forty acres and mule" can
not now even fool the poor negroes any
longer. We wish the radicals would make
MIR. Phillips their leader and let him run
their machine to its destination at once
