[FROAi OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
COLUMBIA, s. c., April28, 1869.-The attempt
| Of the Radicals on Tuesday to carry the town.
| ship election, of which you have alteady been
advised came very near being successful, so
artfu;y mad the plot been contrived. Under
the law it is necessary to give fifteen days no.
tice Of tho holding of the elections, and this
was done-by posting four handbilIs, one in
the city and three in out of the way places,
where they would only pe seen by the buzzards
md, perhaps, q passing locomotive. The
handbill posted in the city was torn down as
soon as it was put up-of course, by accident.
and the first intimation that the citizens
had of the elections was the opening of
the polls. Due notice had been given
in the Union League meetings., and in few
minutes one hundred votes we're polled. OF
the one hundred, ninety-fve we're black and
five white. s. L. Hoge, member OF Congress,
so-called, was one Of the five. Some Of the
most. prominent and influential citizens at
once entered protest against the holding of
the elections. There was some demur, but
the whole thing was at last knocked in the
head. The ticket proposed by the Radicals
was as follows: Town Clerk, j. T.. Bamfeld. Sc
lec.men, Jos. Taylor, P. B. NOVEL; and Alex.
Williams. Constable, H. Minis. Surveyor,
JOS. Winsor. All of these are ne groes but
Winsor, and their character may be
judged by the fact that Taylor, one of their
number, declared that he:could not as decent
colored man sit with them If he we're elected.
Winsor is neither negro, an Indian, nor a
coolle. The citizens will have fair notice when
the elections do come of, and will rout the
enemy as they wore routed in Marion the other
day.
Joe Crews, who had an alteration with 'sthe
Governor because Leslie, Of Barnwell, was
appointed Land Commissioner, was offered an
Office worth $2500 year, If he would only shut
up. In reply he said that he had already been
offered place in Charleston s'worth $500 q
year and stealings," but even this was no COM
pensation for the loss Of theland commission
ership, which would have been worth to him.
he said, at least $40. 600.
Under the new county offices system it will
cost about ten thousand dollars to collect the
taxes in Richland. Under the old regime it
cost about twenty-five hundred dollars.
The meeting OF the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad Company, to be held tomorrow, is
likely to Re stormy one. Charleston must
watch the Greenville Road.
The ladies' fair opened tonight. 1t was q
bewildering confusion Of pretty faces and mi
raculous floral decorations. The tables were
well arranged aud covered with good things
innumerable. Itisehoped that the fair will be

1 should have announced that the Standing
Committee Comm e ~, on Education was appointed on
law Of John 9. Calhoun. He made q brief but
very eloquent speech on the subject, saying
there could be no prosperity. no advance,
no civilization WITHOUT education, and he would
make scientific education gradual but obi
gatory.
Mr.; !Henerey, Of Charleston, also accompa-
MED his report with an earnest aud able speech.
He urged that the people of the State do not
fully appreciate the importance OF having their
work done at home. The habit Of going
abroad is so strong. that the planter seldom
takes the trouble to inquire whether what he
wants can be done in Charleston or any other
part Of the State. As a consequence the me-
chanics are almost starving, and the money
spent amongst our opponents abroad. Let
our people try them, and they will get tue best
machines, and if not satisfactory, can always
make the home manufacturer responsible. BE
hoped this movement would awaken our people
to the Importance of their mechanical imple-
ments being manufactured at home.
Mr.. Henerey's remarks were loudly applaud
ed. He was followed by Mr.. Lawton, who
spoke In high terms Of the service rendered
by che preceding speaker during the war. and
his manufacture Of percussion caps, &c.

REPORTS.
The news iii regard to the prospects of tn
Cuban insurrection continues very conflicting.
From New York we learn that the Cubans
there are In in high gee over the news that
the Mexican Congress has authorized President
Juarez to recognize the insurgents as bellige-
rents whenever he may, deem it judicious to
do so; also, that Mexican ports are to be open
to the Cuban flag. The immediate result OF
this action, they say, will be the placing Of
several privateers in commission to look after
Spanish merchantmen in the West Indies. On
the other hand, the correspondent Of the
World, who can hardly be suspected of par
tiality for the Spanish cause, teleg1aphs from
!, Washington under date Of Monday night as
follows: o. s-v
There is authority for stating that the Span
ish envoy to this country esteems the rebellion
in Cuba as substantially at an end That this
is too sanguine an announcement is generally
believed here, but that serious reverses have
been suffered by the insurgents is admitted
and known. Mr.. Roberts declares that within
sixty days there will not be q man in arms
against the authorities, and that General Prim
win find the situation pacific on his arrival. It
seems that the Captain General has had about
thirty Thousand men under arms, ana they are
steadily advancing and repossessing the inte-
rection as concluded, and anticipate proclama-
ton Of olemency in q few days, which win Sc
cure the adhesion of those who yet feebly hold
out. On the other hand, the agents Of the in
surgents. while they are depressed. are not
son exists to believe that the rebellion may yet
more vigorously revive than ever, owing to
the fact that the conceded occupation Of the
interior districts by the authorities will con-
centrate the insuraent iorces more effectively.
It Is now competent to state that an expedi-
tion has been in process Of organization for
hot toC in t1o aIvI.S
this clty, and New York; that several hundred
men in the first and last cities have been en-
rolled, and that q regular regimental classif-
cation has been agreed upon--at least on pa
per-one Of the fighting McCook family being
stated to be in command. That expedition
will or was to depart from Charleston. What
complexion the present news will cast upon the
enterprise cannot be toretold. It Is believed.
oHever. tn 1T it wall delay it. and most proba-
bly, disband it altogether. The greet difficulty
the insurgents have experienced has arisen
lrofn three causes: The properly men have
been against them; they cannot bay arms, hav-
ing neither money nor q market, and their
emancipation burst has failed, the negroes pre-
ferring to remain at labor than muster into
regiments. a.ts $N
