BATTLE IN CURA

Havana, May 29th.-News has been
received from a rebel but reliable source
that Count Valmaseda was driven from
Bayamo by Marmal, and has since been
captured. Two hundred of his troops
had died of cholera. His men were des-
titute of shoes, and much discomfort
prevails among them.
There was severe fight four miles
from Puerto Padre. The insurgents at
tackled convoy of 900 troops convey
ing provisions to Las Tunas. The battle
was fought on the margin of river,
and lasted several hours. So great was
the slaughter that the river was red with
blood.
The Spaniards we're driven back with
great loss. They admit the loss of thir-
ty-four killed and one hundred wound
ed; of the latter seventy-eight had been
brought to Nuevitas. A Spanish soldier
says that Of his company, one hundred
strong before the fight, only seven now
survive. The Spaniards remained at
Puerto Padre awaiting reinforcements.
A force of one thousand men has arrived
at Nuevltas to relieve them. Gen. Ferr
will take command of the troops at Pu~
erto Padre.
A coasting sloop had arrived at Nu-
evitas with the soldiers wounded in q
skirmish with the rebels near that point.
Foraging parties of the Spaniards there
are constantly driven back, and the CUR
rounding country is swarming with
rebels. -

THE BEST WAY.

Let not Virginia, that now has, as
she has always had, the goodwill and
affections of all her Southern sisters,
ALLEVIATE them by an indiscretion that
would almost amount to a crime. We
must not suffer ourselves to, become
crazy because of the disappointment we
had in regard to the county organiza-
ton. We are allowed to strike out two
highly obnoxious features the test
oath and Acknowledgement. Let us do
so, and take the Constitution thus mod
flied. We can live under it until we
shall be enabled to improve it, so as to
suit it to our necessities. But here it is
proper to say that we need never expect
to rid it of its negro suffrage feature.
Such an expectation is altogether
groundless and unworthy of a sane
mind. U-
There is no mandate, either from the
President or Congress, requiring us to
vote for Wells, but we are left free to
vote against him and for any eligible
candidate. Our candidate is Col. WAL
ker, Northern man by birth, settler
of character and substance, and Gran
administration Republican, who can take
any oath and pass any ordeal that has
been prescribed. If we elect him and
carry the expurgated Constitution,
neither the Executive nor Congress can
make it ground of objection to us.
There can be no doubt that our work
will be accepted.-[Whig.

respondent of the Petersburg Express
writes to that paper as follows: The

aGr If the expurgated Constitution
shall be defeated by your votes, what
will you gain n Wells will still be your
Governor. If those who ought to vote
for the expurgated Constitution decline
to register and vote, then the Underwood
Constitution, naked and pure, will be
fastened upon us. The same policy of
non-action would elect Wells and we
should have the unmodifed Underwood
Constitution with Wells as its admins
traitor. If you vote for the expurgated
Constitution but decline voting for Col.
Walker, Wells will still be elected.
Your only course is to vote for the ex-
purgated Constitution, for Walker and
for good men for the Legislature.

R@ Harris, (colored,) candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, in a speech at
Richmond, expressed suspicion that
some Of the white Republican voters
intended to strike his name from the
ticket, on account of his color. We
exposed this scheme of the white Radi-
Gals about week ago. What we then
said finds confirmation from the above
expression of Harris himself. This
may serve to convince the colored voters
OF the hollowness of their professed
friends who seek to use them, but have
no design that they shall. ever be adj
mitted to any share of the profitable
offices.

THE APPORTIONMENT.

Some of the papers of the State that
are opposed to the late action of the
Conservative Convention, are publishing
a list furnished to the Norfolk Virgin-
ian, showing the white and black ma
jorities, espectively, in the several coun-
ties of the State, and arguing therefrom,
that it will be impossible for the anti
Radicals to secure majority in the
Legislature. So far from this being true,
we believe that nothing could be easier
than to defeat the Radicals for the Leg
islature, if our people will only work
and vote. The Radicals got the Con-
vention because thousands of our people
refused to register, and more than H.
600 of those who did register, madly
refused to vote.
Taking this list, we find that the
counties conceded to the whites will
elect So members of the Legislature
and those conceded to the blacks, 70 ;
giving the latter majority of twenty
in the House of Delegates. In this lat
ter list the counties of Campbell, Henri
co and the city of Richmond are inclu-
ded. The Richmond and Henrico dis
trict will have eight delegates, and
Campbell, including Lynchburg, will
have three. We believe that both Of
these districts can be carried by the
whites, which would give them two ma.
jority in the House. We know the tact
that about $50 white persons in one
district of this city and suburbs, refused
to register. We have their names. But
these persons will register when the
opportunity shall again be offered them,
and we will have white registered
majority in both city and county. The
negro majority will be overcome in
many other counties of the Common
wealth; so that, even with the infamous
gerrymander, we shall be able to secure
a Conservative majority in the Legisla-
ture. We must work, and then success
is certain.-Lynchburg Virginian.

THE PROSPECT AHEAD.

Colonel Walker has started upon bis
new route of the canvass, and addresses
the people to-day at Fincastle. We
have no doubt that he will henceforth
be met OF each point by the State and
county canvassers, who will aid him to
the end of the campaign, with their ac-
tive and effective assistance; so that for
the future the work will be warm and
interesting. From all we can learn, it
is agreed on all hands that the Consti-
tuition will be carried. We think it
may be conceded that the people Of
Virginia have made up their minds to-
complete the work of reconstruction
now and when we reflect that nearly
all the black voters will support the
Constitution, the defeat of that instru-
ment can hardly be expected by any
body. In this view of the case, the
Virginians who vote for the Constitu-
ton, and those opposed to it, should
see common interest in providing for
its ratification by nominating and voting
for the very best men they can find for
the Legislature which is to put it in
operation and in. our view, SO far as
the State is to be benefited, these men
ought not to be selected from the ranks
of those who are opposed both to recon-
struction and to the Constitution. 1t
will be better to trust 1T to the hands of
its friends, if they are pledged to adj
minister it upon conservative principles
and for the best interests of the State
This matter is worthy of the considera-
ton of the people, and we do not now
enlarge upon it to give space for pro-
per reflection upon the idea.

a@- The Petersburg Express, yield
ing to the tendency of its course and its
articles, comes out pretty strongly at
length. 1t says: elf the Wells
ticket is elected, the State will be har-
raised with negro equality and county
organization. So too it will be. if the
Walker ticket is elected. The difference
here is, that it will be done by Wells
black legions in the event of his cleo
ton. Id the event of the success of the
Walker ticket, the degradation of the
whites to equality with the blacks, will
have been procured by the whites
themselves" What does this mean :?
a preference for Wells or nothing. Of
course it can no longer claim Conserva-
tive standing.

AEg- Possibly wa should not expect
much from the Norfolk Virginian, ex-
cept continued opposition to the " new
movement" as that paper, SO far as our
memory serves us, laid frequent claim
to the paternity Of the " White Mans
Party movement, movement which
was calculated, under the circunis an
ces, TO- do the white man more harm
than anything that could be started at
the time; as it virtually placed him in
rebellion after he had grounded his
arms in surrender, and gave vitality to
principle which would have naturally
died out otherwise. And, as tho "new
movement" was started by the DAY
Book to undo the baulky work of the
Virginian in its "white mans party"
we, Of course, can but expect opposition
from that source. We have always
thought it would be far better to place
ourselves in accord with the thirty mills
ions of whites in this country, than
to stand out against a~principle which
the result of the war has decided against
us-a principle which our oaths taken
since the war, force us to admit-and in

and if we cannot rule we will endeav(

thing better to offer in the future, we
shall cheerfully award it our hearty sup.
port. But we know it cannot fail, ex- !
