parallel in the story Of the sufferings Of the
crew and passengers of the James Foster, an
American ship. This vessel left Liverpool
eleven weeks ago, with one hundred and fifty
storage passengers and arrived at New
York two or three days since, with the loss OF
four passengers and twelve of her crew from
ship-fever, while nearly forty of the former are
now suffering from ship-fevcr, or dia1 1hea.
The passengers give terrible account OIL
their sufrerlngs under the tyranny OF the
captain and officers. They were oomPeHea
to do seamen's duty, and struck snd oras-
eed from their beds, when they protest
ed. Their food was ins efficient, barely
suficiug for two meagre meals day, ana
also of bad quality, the carpenter, who serV-
ed it out, adding curses when they complain
ed, and sometimes throwing 1T overheard and
telling them to go starve. Ihe stcerage, where
they were confiued, one hundred and forty-si1
IN number, was but fifty feet long by thirty
five wide, and imperfectly ventilated. The
cheering fire of the galley was denied them
except at cooking moments, and the carpenter,
in {. eaks OF ll-wiIl, would often extinguish tue
coal. in that part of the range devoted to their
use by throwing bucket Of water on them.
They also tell 0 feeble men kicked and beaten
by tho officers until they yielded to death; Of
teeth knocked out OF complaining passengers
heads by the carpenter, and OF sick cabin
boy who was hauled to tho upper deck BY
rope and left there exposed to dic. Since their
arrival, two have become insane hom their
sufferines, one has died. and three others are
not expected to survive. The captain and
mate arc a lso confined to their beds with fever.
An investigation is making concerning the

In OUR remarks on the subject of State
taxation, the other day, incidental allusion
WAS made 10 the probable effect upon the
extent of the return, of the employm mt Of
ignorant and inexperienced officials in
making the assessments. Justice requires
that we should soy that, while these terms
arc certainly applicable to the great mass
of those to whom the assessment is to be
entrusted, there are, in some cases, per-
sons acting as assessors whom We believe
to be fully competent to perform their
official duties.

war, it was thought that the worst was over.
But the second year was unfortunate, ana
the third was like unto the second, and
until the beginning of the present season
it was not certain that this State had reach
ed the turning in the long lane of adversely.
Old debts had been swept away, old habits
of luxury had been overcome, old expec'a-
tions ofa bright future had been born anew.
The freedmen were working better than
they hud done before. Political juggling,
it was felt, was not ruin. The South Caro-
linian had met the giant adversely and had
conquered, and as the result of the labors
Of the year 1858, as the value of the cotton,
rice, phosphases and miscellaneous produce
of the State, there was the grand total of
TWEEN Y.rIvE MILLION OF DOLLARS. This
amount of money, of which at least FIVE
MILLIONS were net profit, was produced in
one year in State which is said to be
"utterly and helplessly crushed"
And it is net in the matter of money alone
that our progress may be seen. We have
improved our lines Of internal communlca-
tien, and have established direct steamship
communication with Liverpool. We have
paid especial attention to the encourage
ment of manufactures, and shall be able
within short time to make important ad-
diiions to the spinning capacity OF the State.
We have introduced white labor in the up
per districts, and have about 400 Germans
working in Nea berry alone. We have dis
covered new fertilizing agent-the South
Carolina phosphate-which is daily be-
coming more valuable, and of which mil
lions of tons lie hid beneath our soil. We
have found ourselves to be possessed OF
resources of which we knew little or moth
ing while slavery and cotton bales gave US
all that we desired. We have tried free
negro labor, and know that we can make it
profitable.
All this has been done in less than four
years, in the face of myriad of difficulties
social, financial and political. Such has been
the iruit of the labors of our people, the vim
dication of their manhood and worth. Nor
does poverty reign in South Carolina save
ever those who had rather starve in idleness
than live in industry. The whole State is
financially sound, new debts are small and
few, we know that we have no insuperable
difficulty in the future; and all this in South
Carolina, where, according to the Westmin-
ster Review, "ahject and irrecoverable pow
"erty reigns"
Thi. is enough for to-day. Tomorrow
we will consider the assertion that "for this
Estate there appears to be no resurrection
"excppt in some new order of things, under
"wh,ch a new ret of proprietors will occupy
.qhc lard, and cultivate it with Northern
"ospital aud somewhat in the Northern
Cushion"

HAVANA, September 24.-The Havana
Press, reviewing the situation, con-
cludes: The majority of Cubans are
loyal. They cite in proof the solicitude
of the Cuban Junta in New York to en-.
list American fillibusters to fight the
battles of the rebellion, the rebel Of
ficers here being unable to obtain re-
cruits among the natives. The Spanish
element in the Island is unanimously of
opinion that Washington has no right
to interfere in their affairs.
HAVANA, September 25.-The officers
of the volunteers to-day had an inter
view with the Captain General, and
stated that they and the men under
them insisted on taking the field for
active service. The Captain General
replied that he did not need their ser

1t is reported that General Jordan has
written a letter to the Captain General
proposing to surrender, with his whole
command, upon being paid certain

the annexation of Baden, aud declaring
that such an act would be considered 4
just cause of war.
MADRID, September 25.-The Govern

1t is officially announced that re-

Intelligence is received of the assas-

A Republican club in this city has

General Sickles has made.
The prospect of the sale or loss o.
Cuba has caused general and violent
commotion in Madrid. The Spanish
Government is bound to be extremel,
careful not to wound national suscepti

The only question is whether they ar

justice will help Spain better than favor
