Tho Rising OF the Watcrs-A California
..e:+ Phenomenon. -:

+. From the Han FRANCISCO Alta 6opt. 1.
Among the curious phenomena of our
climate mona is so incredible and so myster-
ious as the rising Of the springs in tho very
driest timb should be just setting in for =
long continuance. Yet everywhere our
long term ofdrought from deafth; Of rain
has reached within sixty days Of its termin-
ntion, tho springs, instead Of growing more
dry to the end, begin to grow prematurely
moist, and water flows without rain where
not drop wau seen q week before When
We read attentively this law of nature, wo
shalls see . beautiful provision that saves
our trees and shrubbery from tho destruc-
two dessication that befslls the heritage Of
the fields to the very roots: In other eli
mates tho countorplay of electric forces
draws water from tho upper air to feed tho
rooted herb by downward percolation: In
California this action il simply reversed.
There being no water above, electric con-
duction finds play In drawing it from be-
meath. There il reason to believe that o,,r
soil has porosity corresponding to the pro-
cess. In no climate are the waters under
from superficial evaporation by the habi
tude of our streams to sink underground
and disappear from sight. Evaporation
docs not cease; but instead of being dissi-
rated in tho atmosphere direct, it passes
through tho intervention Of the earth, and
in its passage it moistens all the pores and
feeds tho tree roots In its ascent. In the
longest days and the hottest sunshine, ovap-
Grafton takes away the ascending surplus
from the surface SO fast that none romans
TO show Cow upon the ground. In tho Int
tor days Of August, this sun power and tho
length Of days decline. August L. also our
month for fogs. The grain bearing herb
ago is dried up or cut down, md tho pores
it kept open arc glazed over and inper-
vious to vapor from beneath. Everything
conspiros to chock tho needless waate OF
water through tho cir And thus It is That
in our lengthening night time thore romans
surplus to give dow to tho surface springs.
Blessed he Providence for this kind pro-
vision, by which, as tho lengthening
drougths Threaten destruction, thero comes
from depths concealed inorease:o of moisture
bringing TO tho earth resurrection OF
lifo and salvation.

Twenty recRptured Spaniards had ar

Col: Lono, with 1000 Chasseusr. is e1-

Col. Querros had arrived at Jequani

Valmeeda is at Jequani. The inEur-

A dispatch from SanQua on the 18th

The insurgents have burned the rail-

A dispatch from Santiago of the 18th

cholera is raging, and D deaths have
occurred, while many troops are In the

Advices from Quantanoma state that
sugar is arriving rapidly. The insur-
rection reduces the crop 10000 hogs

A dispatch from Manzanetto of the
l4th says, Col. Louis Calumu had ar
rived from Bayamo with ], 900 refugees,
mostly women and children. The
troops were harrRssed all the way by

Advicos from Cuba. from man con-
nected with the revolutionists, have
been received by the Tribune. The
Provisional Government is practically
in operation harmOniously, and the
revolution is rapidly spreading. Polit-

poses to give!emancipatiOn; equal polit-
ical rights for all colors; suffrage to be

qualification, and applied to all alike.
The weather. planters have all eman-
cipated their slaves, many of whom are
armed.
No proposition from the Spaniards
will now be listened to, nothing short
of independence is desired. When that
is established, Cuba hopes to obtain
protection OF the United States, with a
view of eventually becoming member
OF the American Unisn. Many are de-
sirous of annexation, but the open dis
cussion of that question might now
create dissension. An agent will soon
be in Washington asking belligerent
rights for the new administration.

WHEELING WEST VA SATURDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 90 1869

here. We have nothing against the
gentleman but only ask that the people
of Wheeling shall not be cenSured for
seeking TO Vindicate themselves before
this House. l a regard to the anonymous
letter received by the gentleman from
Pendleton when that gentleman put
himself in the position he did, he might
expect to receive communications, not
from the class of persons he had as
sailed. but from those to whose level
he had reduced himself by his remarks.
That letter had come from one of that
class who delight to deal in anything
calculated 20 create bad feeling in the
community. He disavowed that COM
munication as coming from any por-
ton of the respectable citizens OF
Wheeling.
Mr.. McClaskey protested against any
continuance of this discussion as out
OF order. He hoped it would cease
here and the House go on with It's
business.
Mr.. Jacob continuing said he disa-
vowed the letter as coming from the
class of people claimed by the gentle
man from Pendleton. They had no
part nor parcel in it; and the 1nslnua-
ton of that gentleman that the letter
had been written either by any person
proved by any respectable portion of
the citizens of Wheeling was untrue and
unjust.
Mr.. FLICK said he had stated how he
came 10 use those expressions. As far
as any injustice had been done he
apologiZed for it. But there was
one person at least, in high standing,
who had said he (Mr. Flick) would get
his head bursted and he;could prove it.
AT this point the Speaker interrupted
the discussion as out of order.
Mr.. Stifel offered the following:
Resolved, That the words and express
sions used in debate in this House, on
Wednesday, February 18th, in regard
to the city Of Wheeling and its inhabi-
tants, by Messrs. Smith of Morgan and
Flick, embers of this House, were en-
tirely uncalled for, unfair, unjust and
slanderous to the citizens of Wheeling.
And that we disavow the sentiments
expressed by the above named MEM
bers on said occasion.
Laid on the table on motion oil MIR.
