Quick Work in Cotton.

One of the great benefits of having good
wharves and wharf room is made manifest
in the case of the steamship Guillermo,
which vessel having been chartered in Ha-
vana to load cotton at this port for Europe,
arrived at Quarantine six days ago. While
lying out the balance of the ten days re-
quired by law, and undergoing the proper
process of fumig at;on, one thousand bales
of cotton was received upon the wharf
allotted to her, the bills of lading signed,
and the shipper enabled to draw upon the
consignee the same as though it were on
shipboard; thus helping the community at
large, from the producer all along the line.
Three months ago there were only four
wharves in the city capable of holding up
q thousand bales of cotton.

by cutting away the mast and rigging and
allowing her to drift with the tide. Cap

was alive with snakes, and it was with
great difficulty they could be kept out of
the houses after the water had risen high
enough to drive them from their usual pl aces

Last night gave the first indications of
the fulfillment of the prophesy of Profess or
Tice, that another weather catastrophe
would follow the gale of the preceding
week. Rain fell freely, with some wind on
Friday, and though Saturday morning was
comparatively free from both at noon the
rain poured, the wind remaining at not

total absence of rain for few minutes
raising hopes of cessation. Early in the
day the following dispatch came, and was
published in the afternoon papers. 1t not
only confirmed the prophesy of Profe ssor
Tice, but postpon I'd the meeting in La
fayette square, to some people a greater
calamity than that which has smitten In

the denunciators of the school board, or
from the mysterious Republican speaker,

Lively Times in Cuba.
A late letter from Havana saws:

"A ldle letter from havana SAYS:
To judge by the official review of the mill
tary events Of the past fortnight, which il
published in t0-day's Gazette, nothing but a
lew unimportant skirmishes have occurred,
except the destruction of the small towns
OF Jiguiabo, Lechuga and Gonagives, burnt
by The insurgents. Private advices, how.
ever, inform owners of estates in Sagua

list of burnings and similar exploits of the
Cubans, but that it doe. not consider il
necessary because it's readers must by this
time be thoroughly aware that the insur-

in which the incendiary's torch PLAYS a
principal part. This hardly seems suffi-

yiil,ges or estates havo been burned. am
told that among the former is Viana, three
leagues to the east Of Sagua la Grande, and

near the ColOnia de Santo Domingo, has
also been burned.
Officers from the Villas speak yery de-
spoudently of the difficulties with which
the government troops have to contend in
that part of the island, and especially com.
plain of the conduct of many OF the Spanish
tradesmen there, who while loudly profess.
ing extreme oyalty, play completely into
the hands of the rebels, and not only rob
the soldiers in every article they sell them,
but act as spies on their movements, and
inform the insurgents of every detail they
can learn respecting the composition ana
line of march of thes columns that are sci
in their pursuit. ~
The effects of the movements of General
Gomez in the Villas are beginning to show
themselves under a new aspect. So many
planters, despairing of getting off their
crops in those districts, have decided to
withdraw their negroes and hire them out
TO the estates more to The westward, that
the supply is now in excess of the demand,
and the rate of hire has considerably de-
eilned, and is expected to 20 yet lower.
There are many planters who do not like 10

their hands. and will not hire any.

Our Steamships.

The arrival of the steamship Strassburg
yesterday was great surprise to the ship
ping business, owing to there being no &C.
count of her having sailed for this port
The reason of this was that the Strassburg
had been chartered outside of the regular
line-the North German Lloyds, to which
she beloDgs-by the Messrs. Silkenstadt, of
this city, and was wholly under their CON
troll. The prospect of good freight offer
ing decided them to order the ship here at
once, and the first intimation of her coming
is her arrival at the bar.
The North German Lloyd Company has
some twenty three magnificent ships afloat,
many more than there is any business for
at present. There are from twelve 70 fif-
teen laid up in Bremerhaven, and one or
two on the stocks. Two of the latest built
were recently sold in England at sacrifice
OF t25O, 600 on their original cost
The Strassburg, like all the rest of these
steamers, is second to no ship atloat. She
is of 307l tons burden, and will carry about
5000 bales of cotton. No expense was spared
in the construction of these fine steamers,
anu IL is W ue regreUueu UnaJ business can
not be found that would prove profitable to
them.
The new steamship New York, of the
Morgan Line, left New York for this port
yesterday. She is sister ship to the
Brashear, which is due to day. These
steamers, as heretofore stated in the RE.
PUBLICAN, will be permanently located at
Algiers, Mr. Morgan having all his steam
ship advantages on that side of the river,
