FROM CUBA.

1t IS reported that there have been
two lmportan engagements, one near
Remedies and tie other at Sagua la
Grande, in both OF which the Spanish
troops attacked the Cubans in force. At
Remedies the Spanards were driven off,
with loss of 100 in killed, wounded
and pra oners. At Sagua la Grande the
fight lasted seven hours, the Spanish
forces numbering over 1900, while that
of tue Cubans was less than / 900 effec,
tive men. The Spaniards were finally
compelled TO retreat, with loss of over
800, while that Of the Cubant vas less
than 800 The result of these battles
has inspired the Cabans with renewed
courage, and they have no doubt of
their ability to maintain themselves
against the forces now in the field
against them.
A large supply of arms and ammuni-
ton, including battery of artillery,
with 800 men from the United States,
successfully landed near Nuevitas, and
are now a part of General Quesada's
forces. The sickness is reported to be
abating, and Generals Quesada and Jor-
dan expect soon to assume the offensive
with force more than equal that of
their opponents.

The Austrian agent of Mr.. Emil Ma
hel Won Alpenburg, who has founded
an Austrian colony below Richmond,
writes him that Swiss gentleman,
whose photograph he sends, waits to
settle in the mountain region of Virgin
ia some two hundred Swiss families now
ready to emigrate. The letters of the
Austrian colonists, near Richmond, in
which they speak in the highest terms
of the lands, climate, productions, &C.,
Of Virginia, have been published in AUS
trian journals, and attracted the atten-
ton Of the Swiss gentleman referred to.
1t is to be hoped he will be induced to
bring his thrifty colony to our State.

LETTER FROM COMMODORE
MAURY.
LEXINGTON, VA, July 10. 1869

LEXINGTON, Va, July 10, 1869.
"G. W. Gift, Esq: Dear SIR
Your letter Of the 9th reached me this
morning too late, owing to our mail
connections, for my reply to reach you
in time for your meeting Of the 18th.
"Chinese labor is much more intelli-
gent, skilful, and effective, than negro
labor, and consider the introduction
of it, under proper regulations, would
be highly beneficial to the South,
CATER Jamaica, Trinidad is the
largest of the British West India is-
lands, and that it did not pine and
dwindle as Jamaica has done, is | am
assured by residents there, chiefly ow-
ing to the introduction of coolie labor.
KINDLY and properly treated, the
Chinese are the most faithful creatures
in the world. I have been in t he
country, and have paid some attention
to their traits of character. AS domes-
tics and laborers, gardeners, aud Gull
tiyators of the sol | generally, they are
not surpassed by any other people.
From the first that arrive I should like
to have cook and two house-seryants.
Please let me know how to proceed in
order to procure good ones, and oblige,
yours, truly. an f. MAURY."

Many holders of Government Bonds, who would
be- glad capitalize the difference between them and
some OF the Railroad Bonds offered in the market
before the proposed funding of the public debt, at
or q per cent interest shall materially reduce the
profit Of the exchange hestating only for want
OF satisfactory assurance to Wch of the latter are
safe.
This caution is necessarily and wisely felt and ex-
eTcised ss TO all that class Of capital which seeks
secure investment rather than speculative or bust
ness risks.
Transfers Of capital from securities which have,
from special causes, reached a high premium to
those OF more moderate cost are prompted by wise
and prudent forethOught when the larger profit
from the investment can be secured without the
sacrifice OF the security with which invested capital
should be guarded.
The Tact that the Government is rapidly buying up
its own bonds imparts 10 them for the time being a
market value in excess Of their intrinsic value for
investment, and disproportOned to the market
price of other perfectly reliable and substantial
securities.
The difference in price between them and other
bonds does not necessarily imply like difference IN
intrinsic value and il MAY be capitalized with entire
safety If proper selection is made.
The message of the President of the United States
and the report Of the Secretary of the Treasury
press he belief of the whole country that the i'm
proved credit Of the nation will enable them to fund
