pendence of Cuba, which was referred. The
House resolution providing for an adjournment on
the 2Gth instant, was laid on the table The bill
to repeal the tenure.of:ofice act was discussed
but no action was taken. The proposition before
the Senate was substitute to suspend the act till
the next session of Congress. Many Senators
thought this would be dsrespectful to Grant, whom
they praised to the very skies and they therefore
favored repeal instead of suspension. Others
thought it q good law and desired to keep it in
force. The debate elected the fact that the Sen

insinuation false. Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, alse
expressed himself very unfavorably on Butler's
veracity, when the gentleman from Massachusetts
subsidized.
On the 18th, the Senate debate on the ureof
office bill was signalized by Brownlow's first ap

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.
Mr. Editor: in recent issue of the ENQUIRER,
I noticed something in reference to Agricultural
Societies. matter which I regard of great i'm
portance, not only to the farmers, but to all other
classes of citizens
If I am correctly informed, the States of North
Carolina and Georgia, on either side of us, are
organizing societies, which show that they not
only feel but taking active interest in these
things And shall South Carolina remain careless
and unconcerned in this great matter? Supplied
with such fertilizers as she is-the immense phos-
phate beds near Charleston, and any desirable
amount Of lime in the northwestern portions of
the State we,see no reason why she, with well
organized societies, might not keep an equal pace
with her sister States, if not outstrip them in ar
irving at that degree of perfection necessary to
the permanent prosperity and happiness Of her
people.
The changes that have been brought about by
the late war, are such that the system Of farming
is necessarily undergoing a thorough change, and
we think it an auspicious time to organize Agi.
cultural Societies. and improve by them. The
best method Of manuring and improving lands, as
well as the best mode of culhvatng the same, is
now eagerly sought after by almost every farmer
Previous 10 the outbreak Of the late war, there
were two such societies organized in York District
Could not these societies be 50 far recognized as
to form one in this County? Where are our old
friends of the "Indian Land Agricultural Society,""
We would be glad, Mr.. Editor, to hear from them,
and If they feel so disposed, We would be happy
to meet them at any time they may appoint, at
Yorkville, and organize society for this County,
and ifit be thought best, as matter of conve-
nieuce auxiliary societies may be formed in each
Township.
Hoping to hear from others on this subject at
an early day, am, in haste,
Yours respectfully, H.

CUBAN RECOGNITION.

AS stated in another column, a resolution to re-
cognize the independence of Cuba is before the
Senate. The impression prevails at Washington
that sooner or later some such resolution viii pass
Congress. The Spanish embassy share in this be-
lief, and have addressed remonstrsnce to the
State department, against the aid which, they al
lege, is furnished from this country to the Cuban
insurgents The correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writing on the 18th, says
1T would not be surprising iflively times would
be had in Cuban waters before long, the Navy De-
partment having to-day issued orders for rein
forcement of our West India squadron. Rear Ad-
miral Porter, acting under the direction of the
Secretary of the Navy, has ordered several vessels
of war belonging to the Pacific squadron to rein
force the West India squadron, an increase of ves-
sells off the coast Of Cuba being absolutely necces
sary to protect the lives and property of American
citizens resident in Cuba. Two frstclass ron-clads
West and hold themselves in readiness to co-ope-
rate with the West India squadron in any emergen-
cy that may arise. When the vessels ordered from
the Pacific reach their new rendezvous the force
will be ample to afford full protection. Judging
from all accounts that reach us from Cuba, this
action of the government has not been determined
upon day too soon.'
The same paper Of the 18th, has the following
direct intelligence from Cuba:
''The steamship Liberty, which arrived from
Havana yesterday, leaving there on the afternoon
of the l2th brings some intelligence from Cuba,
which indicates different state Of things from
that which is generally authorized to be sent by
the cable 1t is stated that in spite of the contnu
ed assurance of the Spanish officials that the gov
ernment troops are gaining every battle fought
with the insurgents, facts do not bear out that
view. In nearly every case of collision that has
occurred between the insurgents and the govern
ment troops, the former have had the advantage
Our informant states that every Cuban by birth is
determined to get rid of the yoke of the govern
ment and those who are too old to assist actively
in the struggle in the field are contributing great
portion of their wealth in aid of the rebellion The
hatred Of the Cuban against the Spaniard is in
tense, caused by the policy hitherto pursued by
the government towards the natives
The Liberty brought but comparatively few pas.
sengers this trip, whereas the steamship Cuba, on
her last arrival, brought over one hundred. There
has been no positive prohibition to the natives
leaving the island, but an application for pass
port is often the signal for an arrest on suspicion
and imprisonment, so that but few can get away"
