SECRET MISSION TO CUBA The President.
it is stated, has sent n certain gentleman,
whose name cannot be divulged at present,
to Cuba on a secret mission, his object
being to obtain full and important reports
OF the ability and strength of the contend
ing forces, and the chances for and against
the success of the rebellion. He will make
report accordingly to the President, says
the National InteAgencer, and on his state
ment will probably depend the action to be
taken by our Government.

~ss with England.
1t does look now as If the radicals, with
their President, were bent upon INVOLVING
us in war with England. Their leaders
the Newark IN. J.) Journal declares, are very
Ignorant men, and intoxicated with their sue
cess in subduing the South, they are in nc
tit mood to measure the dangers and diff
culties of such q contest. IF the idea ha,
or does seize them, that their party powe,
needs such war to sustain it by seducine
tho Irish vote, they will not count the cost
and cannot estimate the result. England
that islthe present middle class governing
power, does fear us, because it fears taxa
ton, and injury and loss to its commerce
but then England has proud and brave
population, and if forced into conflict,
will fight without gloves. Indeed, war
now with England might end in the down.
iall OF that monarchy, and in the disinte-
grafton of the United States into two or
moro governments. Such result to either
would be deplorable; and yet our present
short-sighted rulers, who never stop to
count the cost, only look to maintenance of
party power, and are blind to the dangers
OF such contest. Motley, who has been
selected as Minister to England, is vain
and utterly impractical man. Whatever he
may be as IN historian, his political lucu-
brations during our war, and while the last
canvass was pending, made clearly manifest
that he had nothing of the statesman about
him. He is just the man, by his preten-
tious folly, to involve the country and array
the feelings of all England against us.
Summers speech, with its errors of law and
fact, can only serve to irritate, while his
conclusion as to proper remedy is lame
and impotent. 1t is very clear that Eng
land has done with propositions. If there
are any to be made in the future, they must
como from us. AS the Thmderer says: cit
is a great thing to feel ourselves demonstra-
bly, in the right. This country has gone to
the extreme of concession in the matter of
the Alabama claims. AS Lord Stanley told
his countrymen at the Glasgow banquet:
There has never been any question on our
side of Offering reparation for wilful and in
territorial wrong, because we do not admit,
and we have no right to admit, that any
such wrong was ever committed by u.s."
This being the temper of the leading jour
nal and the leading statesman of England,
it is easy to see that such spirit as that
which appears to animate the press and the
party III power OH this side of the Atlantic,
will be entertained with patience even by
the present English Government. The
press and people of that country will prefer
war infinitely to submission to such de-
mands as we have to make-demands which
they do not hesitate to stigmatize rs inso-
lent and aggressive

The following letter will be read with
pleasure by all interested in the agricultural
and mineral development of the State:
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 23 1869.
d. W. Parker, Esq, President Of Richland
agricultural Society. Columbia, s. c.
DEAR SIR: L acknowledge, with great
satisfaction, your kind invitation, in behalf
OF your society, to be present at the or
ganization of your proposed State Agricul-
tural Society. 1t would give me great
pleasure to participate in your counsels,
but the pressure of official duties will render
it impossible CT The present occasion.
am gratlhed at the energetic and deter
mined effort of your people to rise above
encouragement, surmount obstacles to sue
cessful enterprise, and take an active part
IN advancing the interests of progressive
agriculture in your State. I believe you
see the necessity, in common with advanced
agriculturists of every portion of this
broad land, of improved implements. deeper
and better culture, systematic rotation, and
diversity of production; and that you will
enter with spirit the noble competition for
precedence in all these means of improve
ment.
feel the deepest interest in the speedy
recuperation of your section in MI the ele-
ments of material prosperity and in its full
measure OF production. L am anxious to
SEQ ns much cotton produced as in 1860,
and ten-fold greater quantity of other
products; but do not wish to see an in
crease of cotton at the expense of these
products. You should provide full sup
ply of farm animals. cereals and fruits, aud
much of your cotton should be sent away in
the shape of yarns and coarse goods; and
immense quantities of fruits and vegetables
should be shipped to Northern markets.
Your resources in marls and mineral
phosphates will render you independent of
Peru in respect to fertilizers, and your
genial climate will give you advantages in
varied and profitable production equivalent
to millions of money annually.
Wishing you success in the important
business of your meeting, and n career of
homo and usefulness for your projected So
clety, am, very respectfully,
HORACE CAPRON, Commissioner
T: 81 also send to your address ten
copies of the annual report for 1867, and
ten copies of the monthly, beginning with
January, 1869, for distribution to those in
terested in agriculture, at your discretion
the latter to be sent regularly as issued
during the year.

HAVANA, July 3.-Gen. Pueblo has
been ordered to relieve Gen. Latonia,
Commanding General of the Central
Department. He sailed this evening,
with 1000 fresh troops, for Neuvitas,
whence he will proceed direct to Pu-
erto Principe.
The Prensa says the number of in
surgents around the latter place has
largely increased, but the cholera and
yellow fever were making great havoc
among them.
Neuvitas is as healthy as usual at
this season.
Capt. Gen. Derodas is gaining gem
eral sympathy by his attempts to paci-
fy the allies. Sanguinary instincts have
been falsely attributed to him. He is
now busily engaged in the investiga-
ton of cases of prisoners confined in
forts, with an object of ordering the
release of innocent volunteers; they
are offering themselves for active
service in Cincoyilla's District.
