COLUMBIA. S. C. --1-i-p Sunday Morning, 23, 1 correspondent tho New York World, writing from "Havana," gives an account of the great battle fought at Sabana Nueva, ou the 3d instant, between the Spa? niards and Cubans. In this battle, the Cuban revolutionists out-numbered tho Spanish troops two to one, besides which, before the battle ended, they received reinforcements.

Hud it not been for the desertion of an entire battalion of negro troops at a critical moment, who killed their officers aud over to the insurgents from the Spanish army, tho revolutionists would have been defeated by their lack of discipline and the inferior arms they used. The Havana papera suppressed an account of this battle, we are told, until many of the wounded arrived in theoity, which rendered further silence perfectly useless. The revo? lutionists are in want of arms, and need discipline, in the absence of which, not? withstanding the revolution is reported in certain quarters as on its last legs, which is only partially true, they cannot hope to make successful headway against the well provided and well-disciplined army of Spain. -o There is no end to the humbuggery a genuine Yankee will perpetrate, and, singu? lar as it may seem, there aro always people enough to be made fools of to make his humbugs a success. Tho last attempt has blossomed out in the shape of a monster penco, jubileo, which is to take place in Bos? ton, the hub of all that Puritan land which lias bean the nursery of war, and the bane and.

disturbance of this country for a hun? dred years. If this were a genuino, com? mon-sense affair, of any use or benefit, it would be highly appropriate, the New Yori Democrat thinks, that a people who did sc i much, to inaugurate war, and so much tc larrit into continuance, should b3 the first 'to have a grand peace jubilee. But this if not what they intend. Very few thing? have transpired in this country that genuino Yankee has not turned to mousy making account, and as they robbed anc plundered all through a long war, so they now come with their bogus jubilee peace to Obtain the people's money unde: false pretences. -o SPANISH ISLAND IK INSUBBEC few months back, tho Porto Rioan; were startled for a moment by a notice from Governor Sauz that a party of Cuban conspirators were attempting to excite an insurrection in their island.

The Cuban plotters have persisted in their plan notwithstanding the Governor's threat send them straightway to Fernaudo-Po. Washington telegram says that a landin has been effected in the island by a Cuba leader, who has been watching his chane from St. Thomas. Thus is Spain threatene -with the loss of another island. Since the removal of the County town "Barnwell to Blackville, there has been general stampede to that favored locality The two papers-the Journal and the Sent thc lead.

The following gentl men aro the town officers: Intendent-5 F. Malony; Wardens-R. Oak tuan, Samuel B. Graham, Simon Brown, J. Buckmyer.

-o A Southern Historical Society has be? formed at New Orleans, whose object is collect reliable data of tho workings of tl late Confederate Government, and the bf ties, sieges and exploits of the war. Re Dr. Pal of New Orleans, is President the society, and Geueral Braxton Vice-President for Louisiana, General R. Lee for Virginia, Greneral Breckinridgo 1 Kentucky, and Alexander H. Stephens Georgia.

-o THE SOUTHERN COMHEHCIAL COXYEXTI AT and visitors all parts of the South are present, tin about 1,000 regular delegates, despatch to the Cincinnati Gazette, dated Sunday, says: "One gratifying feature of the affair that politics seem to bo wholly Republicans and Democrats, radicals ti rebels, have laid asido their mutual anime ties, and are cordially exchanging views to the best modes of building up tho pr perity of the South and West. Arnon the throngs arouud the Overton Hotel, 1 evening, I have not beard a siugle polit: topic started, and I am assured the conv tion will bo ecrually moderate and wise." --o vices received in London fr Hong Kong says that Christian missiona are denounced throughout the Chinese i pire. It is rumored that tho French Mi ter resident in Peki't has been insulted a high Chinese official. Fears of the cronchments of tho Russians on Chir territory are entertained in the Celei empire. Daring tbe second day's proceedings of the South Carolina Medical Dr.

Gibbes to publish at his discretion. Among the resolutions adopted were tho following: That this association relinquish all claims that it maj have upon members for dues previous to the date of this meeting.

That Columbia bo made the place of meeting of this association, and that they meet on the second Wednesday in March, 1870. In the evening, the members attended a supper at tho Hibernian Hall, provided by the Charlestonians.

-o REYNOLDS' NEW PICTORIAL READER rou SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES-in four Lumbers. Columbia, S. C. Duffie Sc Chapman. We have examined with somo care the three first nnmbers of the abovo series of school readers, edited by Professor Dr.

Rey? nolds, of the University of South Carolina, ami by Messrs. Duffie A- Chap? man, in Columbia, and we can conscien? tiously say that tliev are by far the best readers which have lately como under our notice. Tho style of elementary readers should bo simple, and, abovo all, correct, so that the pupil may easily understand aud remember what he reads, and become ao enstomed to employ himself a correct lan? guage. The subjects of tbe lessons should bo both interesting and instructive, in order to command the attention, and at the same time add to the knowledge, of the little stu? dent. They should have a healthy moral tone, without any of that mamby-pnmby, milk-and-water "piety" with which similar are so frequently inundated, hey should, whenever they touch upon re? ligion, do so with a view to awakening and strengthening the child's love and gratitude rather than excito his fears of an augry De? ity, who (as wo once read in a school read? er,) punished little Peter, a wicked boy that would not say his pi rivers, by "letting" him fall down stairs break his leg, because tho very first thing ba did in the morning was to jump into his clothes, and look after his puppies.

Dr. Reynolds' readers possess all tho above-mentioned good qualities in an eminent degreo; the little stories, which tho second and third nnmbers contain, arc told in correct, clear, easy-flowing language; they arc not only entertaining, but incul? cate sound, moral and religions instruction, which will impress itself upon the ohild's heart. Tho lessons on natural history are interesting and instructive, while the poetry with which the volumes are interspersed is seleoted with taste, and adapted to a ohild's comprehension. Besides, tho editor has, with excellent judgment, arranged his series of readers on true philosophic principle, according to which the perception aud memorj', tho imagination, understanding and reason are successively developed. The four readers will, therefore, not only in style, but also in the matter of which they treat, form a series in the real sense ot' tho word.

We of South Carolina have hitherto talked a great deal about tho necessity of encouraging home enterprise. The editor and publishers of these readers, all home? bred men, have offered us a good opportu? nity to show that we do not intend merely to talk, but also to act in this all-important matter. It is the highest timo that we should, to a man, encourage home schools, home colleges, home universities and home? made books, if we will not entirely abandon onr highest interests to the management of strangers, if we desiro to preserve of tho good old times whatever was really good, great and noble in them. Let us hope, theil, that Professor Reynolds' renders will be introduced into every school and house of our State where there are chil? dren to bo taught. Thero is neither reason nor excuse why this should not be done, for the books are good books, as good and belter than others which como to us from more distant quarters.

Charleston Courier. -o A Government officer stationed at Rich? mond, writes that negro labor is at a discount in that portion of Virginia. Tho extensivo sales of land in small portions to white immigrants, who are cultivating tho land themselves, rendors it necessary for colored laborers to go further South in order to seek employment. Over 300 colored people have gone South by rail from Virginia in the last month. Indica? tions aro that the number dining the present month will be greatly in excess of last month.

A colored woman, named Adelpha Wingo, was found dead, near North Pacolet River, in Spartanburg, several days nco; and it is supposed that lightning was the cause. -r UNOFFICIAL DOINGS OF LINS' A OOO TOT OF AN INTERVIEW WITH MACKET, T. reporter of the News was favored, last night, with an interview with Alderman Colline, well known in Council as the hurler of sarcasm and quid? dities withont number at the head of the Mackey party. Alderman Collins was not iu the least excited, although not long be? fore he had had a man arre-! for calling him a liar, and threatening to i him, not to mention another trifling difficulty with a brother Alderman, during which the pretty talk characteristic of the present Board of Aldermen was liberally indulged in.

Alder? man Collius, nevertheless, was as cool ns a concentrated cucumber, and related a hor? rid tale nbout Alderman T. J. Mackey and tho distribution of the spoils. He said that T. J.

called on him told him that, under the present Stute Constitution, a mau could hold half dozen offices, if he conld got them, and tho pinn was for every Aldermau to have at least oue of tho best city offices, either in his own nnmo or thnt of a near frioud. This rather staggered the curious Collins. T. J. then wcut on to say that Collins was to bo the City Apothecary and Flour Inspector.

But the picture was too highly colored. Collins, shocked and pained, said to T. "Why, Mr. Mackey, out of th oso two oflicos, 1 could make 88,000 or 810,000 a year." quoth Mackey. Said Collins: "Why, if wo did that, we should be looked upou as public thieves." "Ah! Collins," quoth T.

"You have not as much brass as This dastardly insinuation so disgusted Collins, that tho interview came to an end.

It is tho finest soicctiou of tonic, anti-bilious, nuti-scorbntic, aperi? ent and purifying HERBS, ROOTS and BARKS that ever entered into any medicinal com? pound. M22 -o It may be truthfully said that tue greatest of all blessings is health, for without it, it is impossible to enjoy the life that God has given us. A healthy stomach, a good di? gestion, a good conscience are requisites so important in a physical and moral point of view to human happiness, that we presume no one will question it. To all alike is health essential for life's eujoymeut and pursuits; to young and old, to rich and poor, to man and woman. Aro you in search of wealth? health is essential; do you desire office aud worldly hours? of what avail would these be without health? The beau? ties of spring, tho song of birds, the deep bluo skies, all have a poetic fascination with tho pure in mind and body but what are they without health?
