TRIP TO CHARLESTON,

Having received polite invitation from
Henry 5. Walker, Esq, to go up aud par
ucipate in the entertainment given by him
to the Agricultural Editors on Friday even
ing last at his residence in Charleston, we
boarded the evening accommodation train,
and in due time arrived at the Capital
We found the city, in the neghborhood of
the Hale House, quite lively, and soon
ascertained tina, the editorial guests were
the cause of it. Upon looking about for
some familiar face, We soon discovered our
genial division uperintendent, Col A. II
Vancleve, who introduced us to the editors
We were fsvorably impressed with the
appearance OF all, and must say we have
never seen a more intelligent lot Of men
gathered together. About 9 o'clock in the
evening all repaired TO the splendid resi-
dence OF Mr. Walker, which we found
brilliantly illuminated with Chinese liant
erns, and were met at the door with a
hearty welcome by the host On entering
we found the house alive with the youth
and beauty Of the Capital, and that every
thing that could be devised in way OF
amusement was prepared for the enter
tainment Of the entire assemblage. A
large platform was erected in the rear Of
the house, on which the Young folks, and
seyeral old ones, too danced the happy
hours away. At ~ o'clock all were invi-
tel to a feast, and. such feast was never
surpassed IN any country or cline. A
ies short speeches were made. but owing
20 the immense throng, We could not get
within hearing distance. and conseq tent j
can Say nothing about them In the
small hours OF morning We took our leave
OF the gentlemanly host and his guests
well pleased with all mankind, and woman
kind too.
The next morning, in response 10 polite
invitation from Dr. Hale, we boarded his
steamer, and in company with the eastern
editors, proceeded to the celebrated Snow
Hill Salt Furnace. the largest in the
country where We we're shown the process

The prospects OF Cuban indepen dence
seem to brighten every day. The news from
Spain is OF such II nature that we are led
to believe civil and disastrous war is
now on hand to curse and blight that
country, as well as to keep every able
bodied man at home From Cuba, we
learn that the national troops are becom-
ing discontinued and rebellious, aud have
in some cases, openly revolted against
the Captain-General OF the Island This
being the case aud the home Govern
ment being unable to send any troops to
the island, the brave band OF men who
have for some years held out against all
encroachments made against them, are
about TO have their herculenean labors
crowned with success. We. believe il to
be the duty OF our government, As well as
all other civilized nations, to recognize
the republic of Cuba and put stop to
the cruel war that has devastated and laid
waste so large portion of that beautiful
island. Long live the brave patriots OF

THE Charleston JournG! (Republican)
sharply criticises Gov. JACOB for having
so long delayed his removal OF the Public
Printer, Mr. WALKER. The act ter.
mina,ipg the office Of Public Printer and
providing for the letting o! the printing
by contract made the Treasurer, Auditor,
and School Superintendent Commission
ers for that purpose and directed them to
advertise for proposals at once. To favor
Mr.. WALKER and give him as much
printing as they could before suspendiug
him, they deferred the execution Of their
duties for FIVE or six months. The Jour.
nal claims that Gov. JACOB. so soon as /,
was apparent the Commissioners were de-
laying needlessly should have removed
Mr.. WALKER and have made other pro-
vision for the printing. There does not
appear TO be any reason why he should
not have done this; and the State would
have been saved good sized swindle in
the August election printing Il the Gov
ernor had taken this course Il Is but
fsir TO say, however, that the Governors
side Of the question is yet to be heard. II
may be that there were good reasons oil
law or propriety why he should not inter
iere with the printer until after action by
the Commissioners. We presume the
Governor himself will be heard from or
the subject in his message to the Legis-
lsture, now shortly to reasonable; and be

will be well 10 wait and see what he hs'
