AFFAIRS IN CUBA.

Washington dispatches state that the force un-
der Gen. JORDAN had succeeded in joining the
CuBOn forces, after several fights, in all Of which
the Spanards were repulsed with serious loss
Gen. JoRDAN's loss was slight, not over forty-h
in killed ard wounded. He saved his artillery.
arms and ammunition, and had with him 100
new rifles. of the most approved pattern. Anoth-
er expedition left the Southern coast on the 29th
ult., numbering Ats men, for the purpose of join
ing Gen. JORDAN command, and all Of them were
ex.Federal and Confederate soldiers. From relia-
BILE information, it is stated that the and mun
tions of war have safely landed and are now with
the Cuban army. The expedition was in charge
Of Col. De RUssY, formerly of the Confederate
army, from Louisiana. The general news from
Cuba is unimportant.

CAPTURED AND ABANDONED PRoPEnTY.-ln June,
1865, there were received ut the Treasury Depart
ment three large wooden boxes, said to contain
valuables, turned over by the War Department for
safe keeping. These boxes have been lying ever
since in the vaults of the Treasury, but were to-
day opened through the efforts of United States
Senator, some of whose constituents were snppos
ed to be interested. A committee, composed OF
officers of the War and Treasury Departments wit
messed the carrying out Of The joint order Of The
two departments. The boxes were found to con-
tain exceedingly valuable invoices of diamonds,
pearls, necklaces, watches, earrings, brouches,
rings. chains, seals, and all manner of rare and
expensive jewelry, to the value Of many thousands
of dollars The most valuable property, however,
which the boxes contained was very large amount
of gold and silver plate, consisting OF pitchers,
salvers, spoons knives, urns, &c., some of which
was thought to have been more than Il hundred
years old One of the boxes contained some very
rich wearing apparel for lades-silks, velvets,
laces, &c., besides an incredible amount OF Con-
federate notes and bonds, and notes Of State banks
There was also small amount of specie, both gold
and silver The boxes were about the size Of or
dinary dry goods boxes; and the value of their
contents is variously estimated at from $50, ,OOO TO
$780, 900. Many Of the articles were stamped
with the family crests, initials, or monograms Of
the owners, and all were Of the finest and most
Provost Marshal General of the Army of the Ten
nessee to the War Department in this city, and Sec
retary Staunton turned them over to Treasurer
Spinner, subject to future action. The valuables
are supposed to have been taken possession of by
Shermans men in Georgia and other States. where
they had been abandoned by fleeing inhabitants.
In some cases they were taken from banks, which
had ceased to do business upon the approach of
the Federal army. The officers of both depart
ments are uncertain of their duty in the matter Of
the disposition Of this property. Some hold that
it should be returned, under proper restrictions
and proof, to the owners, if they Gun be found.
Others believe the articles belong to the Govern
ment, under the laws of Congress. and that they
should be sold, and the proceeds placed in the
Treasury while still others affirm that neither the
War nor the Treasury Department has any authori-
ty in the premises. and that a special act of Con-
gress should be called for. Nothing has yet been
done, and the valuables have been returned to the
vaults of the Treasury.

A FIRST CLASS BOARDING SCHOOL IN NEW
YORK

A correspondent of the Edgefeld Aduertiser,
over the signature of "Mavourneen," writes
charmingly as to the appointments and round of
duties in frst-class Boarding School in New
York. The head of tho establishment is native
of this State, and as some our readers might wish
to know the location and merits of such School,
we give the concluding extract from the letter re
ferred to, wherein the accomplished principal is
personally introduced:
And, now, who is at the head of this thoroughly
useful and elevated SCHOOL, She is Mrs. Edward
B. White, of Charleston, S. C. Col. Edward B.
White and his brother, DR.. Octavius White, both
now living in New York, are natives of Charles
ton, where they lived until within very few
years past, and where their social position was
always of the highest. Mrs. White being broken
up in her old home by the fortunes of war, and
having influential friends in New York, has come
hiher, and established the School of which
write. She is lady of the most thorough educa-
ton. fine and experienced musician, an accom-
plish ed linguist and, more than all this, soft,
GENTLE. pious, conscientious woman. know that
in the South now there is deep prejudice against
sending young persons to Northern schools: AS
regards this prejudice, say nothing. But should
there be those in our State who would like to send
daughter to New York to school, they would be
wise 10 consider the claims Of Mrs. White, OF
Charleston, No. =, West 43rd street.

THE SOUTHERN GUARDIAN.

The Columbia Phenir having stated that the
publication of the Guardian was ''inde6niely post
poned." Mr. c. P. PELHAM addresses a note to the
editor of that paper, informing him that the Guar
dian will appear in due season and that its publ
cation is settled matter. Owing to protracted
illness and the necessity Of arranging other bus-
ness, Mr. PELHAM has been delayed in meeting the
demand for an enterprising and independent news
paper at the capital. We are glad to know, how
ever, that he has not relinquished the idea, and
that in good time the Guardian will be sent forth
to its thousands of old admirers all over the State
We have heard of q gentleman, In an adjoining
county, who proposes to subscribe for one hundred
copies when it appears. This sort of encourage
ment will place the Guardian upon safe footing
at once, and will build up and establish an organ
worthy of support from the intelligence and re-
spectablity of the State.

In the recent county elections, We observe the
gratifying fact that the Democratic members of the
Legislature are 10 be strengthened in their efforts

This end. Our worthy friend JAMES E. HAGooD,
ESQ.,, has been elected Representative from Pick

of DIR. w. T. FIELD. Mr. HAGooD's qualifications
as business man are widely known, while he is
endowed by narure with an even temper and
goody share of common sense. He will make
true representative of bis natiye section, ealously
guarding it's interests. and firmly uPholding priu-
ciples of Justice ard right. We congratulate the
voters of Pickens upon their choice. In Abbevile,

were finally compelled 10 declare Col. Co1HRAS du-

killed near Lexington Court House on Friday, 2Sth
nit. 1t seems that he, in connection with num-
ber of others, hud entered into plot TO massacre
the inhabitants and then burn the town of Lex

exposed the hellish plot of these fends, where
upon warrants were issued for the arrest of the
guilty parties The Sheriff, with posse of men,
attempted to arrest some of the negroes, when
this one refused TO surrender himself, and dehed
the authority of the Sheriff by attempting to
shoot some of his party, when he received several
shots in his body, which resulted in almost in
slant death.
