BETWEEN the insurgents or patriots
of Cuba and the Spanish troops, the
"ever faithful Isle" seems almost to
have become completely exhausted.
Notwithstanding this, old Spain is de-
termined to hang on to her possession,
and is now sending additional troops
there. We learn from our Northern
exchanges that sixteen hundred men
embarked from Santander for Havana
on the 18th, and another draft is Or
dered toassemble at that port Oh the
the same place. On the 10Th instant
two Spanish steamers arrived at Iia-
vana laden with troops of various
kinds to iillup the rents and gaps made
in the royal forces by disease and the
rifles and machetes of the patriots.
The need of these reinforcements, il
the war is TO proceed, is most evident
and pressing. At the present time the
Spaniards are confined strictly to their
fortified towns and camps. They are
unable to venture beyond the support
of their guns. Valmaseda spends most
of his time in Havana, and his subor-
dinates keep their commands In places
of safety. In few instances parties
have made short marches into the in
terror. In some cases they have been
defeated by the patriots; in others their
movements produced no practical re-
suits. The patriots have not been
driven from the ,rrocha. No efforts
have been made to do this. In the
meantime they are laying waste the
sugar sections, and thus reducing the
revenues OF the Government. Under
the present state ofAitairs The planters
are like barrel tapped at both ends.
They pay the Government for pro-
lection which they do not get,
and at the same time they are
called upon for contributions by the
insurgents, and In many instances
their plantations destroyed for public
reasons connected with the revelation.
In this manner the people are made to
feel the horrors of war to their full ex-
tent and are tired Of 1t. They would
willingly support the patriots if it
were not for fear of the vengeance of
the men who are in authority at Ha-
vana. In the face of all these facts
the Madrid party are determined to
force on the war. More men are sent
to Cuba to be sacrificed. That will be
the end of the present achievements,
and at that point the revolution will
be no nearer crushed than at the pres
ent time. The patriots have recently
received two contributions of arms and
ammunition, and are better prepared
to carry on the war than at any period
since it began.

marks by seeing the following in the
State Register. published at Washington,
Fayette county:
The facts in regard to the contraction
of the currency shows that it has been
contracted to the extern of over 81 800,
100000 since 1866, and, what is more,
that there has been contraction of
nearly 100000 since the 14th day of
January last, as a result of the specie re-
sumption act of that date, being con-
tinual contraction up TO the present
time. Notwithstanding this, some Re
publican orators haye the hardihood to
assert before an intelligent audience that
the currency of the country has not been
contracted, just as some of our bankers
will tell you that there are millions of
dollars in the country seeking invest
ment, when they haven't surplus dol
lar in their banks to loan. And the
worst of it is, this contraction will still
go on until the people command halt,
which they will do in thunder tones in
October.
That is every word lie; but many
honest men will be deceived by just such
stuff. Read the truth about this matter,
as stated by Judge Lawrence at this
place. His figures were taken from the
official records.
