interesting items of news from tbe other' side in reference to Cuba The first ia that under the advice of the generals of the army the Provisional Government of Madrid haa determined to send a military force of nine thonsand men and four batteries of artillery to Cuba to suppress the insurrection there the second is a report from Madrid to the Independence Beige that the Provisional Government of Spain never never will sell the to the United States Patting these two itemi together they are very significant An insurrection in Cuba which In Madrid is believed to call for a regular military force ot nine thousand in addition to the regular local troops and the vessels of war which will go out with the new Captain General Dulce must be a pretty serious affair The local authorities of the island ad interim have we suspect suppressed the facts as to the actual condition of things in the interior from apprehensions that if the facts were known in the United States tbe filibusters would be down upon them and in a speedy fulfillment of the American idea make short work of the question of manifest Among our advertisements yesterday was one which upon its face amounted to a call for volunteers of and naval to assist in the annexation of Cuba to the United States It is probable that this purpose underlies the revolutionary movement in the island and that the provisional home government has got wind of it and ia resolved not to let this productive piece of property slip through its fingers into the possession of the United States without a fair equivalent These nine thousand soldiers from Spain then are coming over to Cuba to take care of the fil-liboetera As for the report that the new government at Madrid will never dispose of the island to the United States it simply means that the cession will not be made until it can no longer be avoided From the com plete exhaustion of the Spanish treasury and from the impoverished condition of the Spanish people we are inclined to think that in a short time the sale of Cuba will be imperatively necessary to keep the home government on its legs New York Herald Tlie Oldest City Damascus is the oldest city in the world Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on the shore Baal bee ia a ruin Palmy ra lies buried in the sands of the desert Ninevah and Babylon have disappeared from the shores of the Tigris and Euphrates Damascus remains what it was in the days of a centre of trade and travel an island of verdure in a desert predestined with martial and sacred associations extending beyond thirty centuries It was near Damascus that Saul of Tarsus saw the light from heaven above the brightness of tbe sun the street which is called Strait in which it is said he still runs through the city tbe

river of still sparkle in the wilderness of Syrian The Policy or the Coming Admixistba tiox Tbe Washington telegrams to the Herald of the lltb says Every little straw ia gathered now to show the probable policy of tbe General after his inauguration Here are two of them In the railroad car from Chicago the other day a gentleman said to Grant I hope when yon are in office yon will let us have peace in fact as well as in To this the Genera answered may be sure I will air shall make peace aad a solid peace which will satisfy all good men North South East and A brother of General Grant who lives in Chicago is reported to have said a few days ago that General Grant intends to enforce the Reconstruction laws to the very letter so far as that duty may be bequeathed hun by tbe existing administration Perhaps liy the time of his inauguration the whole business of reconstruction will have been disposed of but if not according to this fraternal authority Grant will execute them strictly The reason alleged for this is that Grant holds that tbe will of the people is the law of the and that in the election just decided the people expressed their will to have these reconstruction measures enforced by endorsing tbe measures and platform of the Republican party From bis natural modeaty he does not presume to think that it was his personal popularity that im pelled the people to give the Radical ticket a majority so decided but rather that it waa due to their endorsement of Congress and ita policy So says brother Gen Grant and the Office-Seekers The Washington correspondent of thn New York Herald writing of General arrival in Washington remarks A few of the moat intimate riends called at his honae on Sunday and it ias been suggested to him that from this time forth until the close of his administration he will not know a quiet moment in which he can be at peace with the office-seekers It is also said that he haa under consideration a suggestion of a friend having some knowledge of the subject that he keep a list of all who approach him on the subject of office before his inauguration and that he make melancholy examples of them by refusing to appoint any of them It ia thought hat this course may prove beneficial in tbe future It ia tbe intention to main in the city daring the winter The Saeation of the resignation of his office as eneral of the army is already discussed in the newspapers as well as in military circles This question seems to be next in importance to the appointment of his Cabinet as far as the Democrats are concerned i

landholders publish a proposition to dokatx land to actual settlers from abroad under proper conditions For example One proposition is a warrantee deed to every alternate filty acres in a tract upon condition that each of not less than ten approved settlers shall expend the first year the value of $500 in a house and such other improvements as he may prefer to make or 100 acres with an investment of one thousand dollars in house and improvements The landholder looks for his compensation to the enhanced value of the remaining alternate fifty or one hundred acres and we do not donbt he will find it Where a settlement of neighbors relatives and friends is effected in that way if the immigrants are industrious and thriving the chances are very great that the intervening lands will in a short time possess a far higher value than the entire tract did before the settlement The ties of kindred anc friendship the attractions of society the force of example all come in to make the land marketable and increase the valuation It is worth an inqury by our Georgia landholders whether a system of this character cannot be made available in increasing our white population and improving the demanc for and valuation of our lauded property Whether instead of contributing money to import white farm laborers a better re suit to the country cannot be produced by offering inducements of this character to nc-xigraxt arm Ena who shall bring their families with them take possession of their independent free holds and build up a name and fortune for themselves and add in their own independent operations to the wealth the activity and prosperity of Georgia If by some such system as the foregoing an active proprietory immigration could be induced the wealth added to the State in what the settlers bring with them would swell to large amount if it averaged no more than five hundred or one thousand dollars to the family We have repeatedly expressed an opinion which ia confirmed by numeroua experimental results which have been publiahed in the Virginia North Carolina and Mississippi papers that white will not be found to operate satisfactorily upon our plantations Certainly it cannot be used to any extent witbout a total revolution in the old plantation management Tbe white laborer will have to be provided with food and lodgings as good substantially as those ot his employer A peck of meal lour pounds of bacon and a pint of molasses will not do in his case He will demand a variety of food and vegetables and the accommodations and appliances of the white man This itself must introduce a new order of plantation arrangements and when you have made them we doubt whether tbe white farm laborer will on the whole prove as effective and manageable in Southern farming as the negro The sanctions of labor the penalties of idleness rad neglect cannot be made so effective in the one case as tbe other and the negro is traditionally more docile and tractable than the white Moreover the negro will have better health than the unacclimated white laborer We believe therefore that most of the experiments to substitute white lor black labor upon our cotton plantations will be attended with unsatisfactory results and that the true policy of the Cotton South is to encourage a proprietory immigration to cut up our lands and people them with small farmers who will rear their crops by their own labor aided by that of their families Add a hundred euch families to every county in Georgia and the State would spring into new life and productive energy Real property would be in request towns would grow and thrive trade would be lively and tbe State would soon teem with a hardy industrious white population The negro political question would soon be set forever at rest

Pyrotechnic Illumination of the Heavens Those of our citizens who were fortunate enough to be np between 13 and 5 yesterday morning witnessed one of the grandest sights ever seen by man It waa a fall of millions of meteors At first they appeared singly with momentary intervals and would suddenly dart forth from Die darkened horizon or from the zenith and traversing several degrees explode like brockets Then they came two at a time then three four five ten twenty one hundred until the whole concave heavens were lighted and Illuminated aa if a city waa being bombarded by ten thonsand batteries Springing into existence aa quick aa thought and traveling with electric velocity exhibiting a dazzling brilliancy almost equal to the snn at noonday they would leave a luminous train behind them which would sometimes last for a minute There was one which surpassed In magnitude all the rest It rose in the North passed the zenith over the city and disappeared in the Southwest It was like an immense ball of fire and had a train more brilliant than a rocket and aa long as a rainbow The scene culminated about 8 when it was grandly and awfully sublime The night was clear There was not a cloud to be seen anywhere Stars and planets were eclipsed by the display aa is artificial light by the rising of the sun It looked as If tbe heavens were holding high carnival over the earth or that the angela were celebrating some glorious event The superstitious who saw it no donbt thought the final day of the world had sorely come and listened every moment for the Trumpet ot the Archangel The coarse of the meteors was at first parallel to the earth bat In a little while they become perpendicular and descended immediately towards It But the density of the atmosphere seemed to extinguish them when they approached within two miles of ita aur-fkco Tbis must have been the great fall of meteors predicted by astronomers for November Olbeara said the interval between them waa thirty-four years and that the great fall In 1799 repeated in 1838 would be again repeated in 1867 Bat he missed It by one year We most leave to the astronomer the task of a more learned description of this phenomenon The people of this earth seldom have the opportunity of witnessing anything ao awful so sublime or so grandly beautiful No language can describe no pencil can paint the scene To say that it waa like a million bombshells simultaneously flying through the air would be bat a faint description The finest print conld easily be read by tbe light It lasted until daylight and the rising son pnt an end to it We can bnt regret how poorly the eloquence ef words describes a scene like this The contrast between it and those pyrotechnic displays sometimes seen In cities illustrated the grandeur the power and gloryof the Supreme Ruler of the Universe Transporting Cotton to From Savannah to Liverpool Direct As England manufactures two-thirds of all the cotton raised at the South we do not understand the necessity of and cannot see any economy in shipping it by way of New York Can any man tell na what we gain by our almost undivided patronage of this halfway station between Savannah and Liverpool We can easily tell what we lose We pay New Fork commission wharfage draytge brokerage storage insurance interest for handling for sampling for weighing submit to heavy discount in receipt and the standard of classification there ia very high indeed Prices in New York are so regulated that the speculator can pay all these charges again at Liverpool and have a profit left besides The planter haa really to foot both these long strings of charges We repeat of what use or what advantage ia it to ns sending cotton to New York? Why not send it forward direct from Savannah to England avoid at least one of these lists and reap the full advantage of the better rates almost always prevailing there The reason this perversion of commerce is made New York is always in onr markets with her agents and money ready to buy and pay on the spot and England is not and moreover has plenty of vessels always in the harbor of Savannah ready to take forward shipments whilst there is a deficiency In British bottoms Theyan-kee is more industrious than the British in tbis instance bnt the Southerner is the sufferer We do not understand why Manchester haa not her agents in all the cities ot Georgia Up to this time we have not heard of a single order being received from England in this or the Savannah markets fur cotton We look forward to the day when this whole ystem will he revolutionized when a submarine cable will be laid between the coast of Great Britain and and regular lines of steamers plying between the two countries They wonld be worth millions to onr people every year Cotton speculators at Savannah and Brunswick will then bay with sole reference to the Liverpool market aa does those of New York Had we now these facilities it would be worth as much to-day in onr sea-coast cities aa It is at New York and Boston The Selma Connection There is a little gap oi thirty-eight miles between Montgomery and Selma the completion of which wonld finish the line of Railroad between Savannah and Vicksburg between the Atlantic ocean and the Mississippi river It is now nnder contract and cars will be running over the road before msny months The completion of this link will of course greatly increase the amount of freight passing over onr Central Georgia Railroad It la now a breaker in the wave of commerce flowing East and West The natural outlet for all the Cotton produced East of the longitude of Meridian Miss South of the latitude of Borne Georgia and North of the Golf of Mexico Is Savannah Much of the production of thia scope of country has heretofore gone out through other channels because of the incompleteness of onr system of railroads The remedy Is being rapidly applied and the time is not distant when it will be regularly passing in its legitimate course Cur Mareet Vegetables are getting very scarce at our local market bnt tbe display of meats is still very fine We have had an unprecedentedly fine season (or edibles ef every kind In vegetables It has been truly remarkable and housekeepers regret the widespread destruction of them by Jack Frost Jsek is an Inevitable rascal But he always brings plenty of fish from tbe sea-coast and game from the West In lieu of what he takes away Our provision stores have the greatest abundance of oysters perch blackfiah mullet sheephead etc so there Is no lack In variety as they are not wanting in quantity The system of small farming now rapidly being adopted around the city will have a direct tendency to cheapen by competition every article offend for sale at eur market-house To which there ean be no objection The price of living in Macon has a direct bearing npon ita prosperity It has been very dear since the war and If we are entering upon a new era in thia respect It is gratifying Indeed The readiness with which everything raised for our tables finds a purchaser and the handsome prices realised are the moet powerful Incentives to put every foot of idle land within several miles ot the city In active cultivation Fortunes are easily made in this way Gainesville Fla Sept 80th 1868 Dnff Yoyto BewamnaK Os Drab Sib I hereby certify that my wife who haa been suffering with neuralgia in the fees for several yean haa been permanently cured by three applications of Oil of Life the first ap-j illcatlon relieved her In ten mlnntea She had teen under the treatment oi several physicians who conld relieve her only fay placing her under the Inflnenee of an anodynai She has a cured months and haa not had a return of the pain since I have also used it for Burns and!

A -n 4 The Alabama Election Democratic Strength in the State The Montgomery Mail of Friday says: Alabama goes Democratic by an insignificant majority but that majority ia no teat of the Democratic strength The State instead of polling over two hundred thonsand votes will not poll much over one hundred and fifty thousand The non-voting population are nearly all Democratic having been kept from tbe polls by an insufficient and in some places unfair registration Thua in Autauga county a number of Democrats at Chestnut Creek and Kingston had no opportunity to register on tbe day of election In Shelby county not half the whites voted In Cone-cub county over a thousand whites failed to vote And in some of the distant counties at many of the precincts no voting boxes were opened It ia aremakable fact that in all of the negro conn ties every facility for voting was offered and in nearly all the large white counties the facilities were very imperfect Not less than fifty thousand whites nave failed to vote and that too in counties which were aim ost unanimous for Seymour To some extent the failure of this Democratic reserve to come out to the polls was due to apathy and imperfect organization a condition of affaira which our Democratic friends will no doubt correct at the next election It is shameful thing that the Radical negroes should be better organized than the Democratic whites and that Alabama should owe the casting of her vote for Seymour to the negroes who voted the Democratic ticket in this central part of the State The election imperfect as it ia develops several important facta The first is that the State has a Democratic majority of 40000 But to secure the practical effect of that majority we need a more perfect organization than we have hitherto had Expansion of Ice A discussion npon the expansion or contraction of ice by the action of cold is exciting much interest in England both on account of tbe subject itself and the high au thorities which are parties in the discussion Professor Tyndall takes tbe ground that it expands Other eminent philosophers dispute the accuracy of the experiment from which Dr Tyndall draws his conclusions The experiment is as follows: Around nicely-fitted blocks of ice he places bands of east iron npon submitting the whole to the action of a freezing mixture the bands soon burst with a loud report Those who doubt tbe correctness of Dr conclusion argue that the experiment does not prove that the ice ixpanda as the contraction of the iron is sufficient to account for the bursting of the bands They further confirm their opinions by the fact that the ice which forms upon tbe surface of the British American lakes often to the thickness of several inches during a single cold night will upon the recurrence of severe cold crack open widely This is thought to indicate contraction instead of expansion It certainly seems that the experiment of bursting iron rings by re-refrigeration is not altogether conclusive of the expan sion of ice still although it may be defective we are inclined to tbe opinion that ice does expand as the temperature diminishes If such should be the caseit appears to us that it would easily be determined by a specific gravity test weighting the ice with platinum and using mercury as a means of making the test that substance remaining fluid at low temperatures and having no solvent power on ice It would he easy to make a proper allowance for the increased specific gravity of the mercury as the temperature diminishes Keeping up thr Dispute Two men of foreign birth had a altercation yesterday aft ern noon Their names are Isaac Coleman and Hternheimer The difficulty occurred in front of the store in the Muscogee Home building tbe second from the corner Coleman sued Sternheimer the day before and recovered $313 from him They must have had some fuss over this affair yesterday for as Sternheimer was passing by Coleman shot at him twice with a pistol The balls must have gone into the air as no one was injured ran into a shop just above and called shoot me I shoot me Deputy Sheriff Bradford immediately arrested Coleman and took a pistol from him Stern-leimer then came up mud A crowd collected around Some one spoke to Stern-leimer in German Coleman told Bradford the man had told to give him his pistol that one could not be found upon him 8 denied he bad a weapon but the Sheriff took one from him Both abusing each other were carried to the court-house where the Grand Jury found true bills axainst them Assault with intent to kill against Coleman and carrying concealed weapons against Sternheimer They were in charge of the officers at night Columbue Bun The Origin or thn Trouble Between jhe Florida Btatb Otticrrs Thr Composition or two Factions A dispatch to the New Toik Time aay The trouble in Florida between Governor Seed and his opponeta haa a curious origin Both factions are Republican: that of Govervor Reed

composed of a set of hair brained extremists who win caiw for nothing but personal gain and who kill the party unless they were kicked out of It When the present government of tbe State was framed tbe Republicans thought they would make a sure thing of it for a number of yean at least They therefore provided that the Governor should hold office for six yean and Invest him with tbe appointment of a

yonng men around this city They bad better let all each wild-goose chases alone Bnch adventures have alwaya come to a bad cad and will continue to do so They are generally headed and controlled by reckless spirits who have neither the brains nor the money to snccesslnlly carry them out War is at best the hardest service mortals can engage in bnt when It is waged against an established government by an army without a country to back it without any base of operations from which to draw supplies It ia tenfold more so The raids of Lopez and Walker did not rise above the dignity ot land piracy Bnch forays receive no sympathy from the world and when they reach disastrous terminations as they always do those who engage in them are reearded as criminals of the highest order deserving the gallows The officers are generally condemned to die and the privatea sentenced to Ignominious service We can see no advantage to be gained by the South in changing the government of Cuba the Northern press to the contrary notwithstanding and we hope not a man or a dollar will be given for any such purpose To enlist in any such service would be utterly foolish Alabama State Agricultural
