The Daily Sun. J. H. MARTIN, Editor. nninnsiMi nonviiwi, i»ec. si. TO THE HE AO EKS OF THE SUX. We have to-day to make an nnnomiee meat which will no doubt he surprising to miny of the subscribers to tho Sun and Times. This is the lust issue of Iho paper as an independent sheet. We have sold its “goo.l will ’ to Mij >r A. It. Calhoun, of the Culum'mn Enquirer, aud its sub¬ scription list will be consolidated with the list of that psptr, m ilting it one of the largest in the S ate, and offering an oppor tunity for improvement and enhanced in terest, of which, we doubt not, that enter prising publisher and talented editor will fully avail himself The reasons which have induced this course are to he found in the condition of the times, which has of late so seriously affected every business interest. Neither of the pnpers of this city has been muking money for some iiino past, and the diffi¬ culty of collecting accounts has been seri¬ ously felt in tho attempts to raise money to meet current expenses. The proprie¬ tors of both papers have felt the necessity of some change for the better, nnd after weeks of consultation aud negotiation, the step which we now announce has been agreed upon. Pealing confidant tint tho consolida¬ tion will result iu tue construction of a Letter paper Ihuu the patronage bestowed npou either separately would allow, we believe iLut we ought rather to congratu late our readoti on tho change than to off jr any regrets or apologies. Still it is with borrow that wo part with friends who have so long given us their oncourage ment and support, ottd with whom our intercourse has been almost nnexcep tion.ably pleasant. Wo bespeak for our successor the same steadfast help and con¬ fidence that has been extended to us. He will fill out all our uuexpired subscrip¬ tions at the same rates us those of our paper, and having tho newspaper field here to himself, will ha able to furnish a better paper and offer bolter induce¬ ments to advertisers than either of ns could with u divided subscription. By this nrrangmout tho Sun office be¬ comes tho ouly Jon Peintino Office iu Columbus, aud that business will bo car¬ ried on iu this city hy Tuos. Gileebt, successor of Tiios. Gilbert ,fc C,>. Our finely appointed Job Offico aud Book Bindery—one of the very best iu the South, and now being increased by addi¬ tional material—remains unbroken by the newspaper transfer; and being relieved of the c ires and pressure of daily newspaper publication, we can tunv devote our undi¬ vided attention to the business which we retain, promising to execute all kinds of work in our lino as haudsomely, expedi tioiisly and cheaply as it can bo done anywhere. With this issue our Suv, as nn inde¬ pendent luminary, sets to rise not again, as has been its wont, with tho dawn of nnolher day. But we cherish the hope that during its existence of over eighteen years its rhining 1ms not beeu in vain; that it has imparted genial warmth to the social circle, diffused useful information throughout the sphere of its circulation, been n safe aud faithful political beacon light to tho people, and a steadfast uphol der of their interests aud l’iyhti. Its memory, we frost, will he a pleasant one, nnd its record honorable aud creditable, though of course not free from mistakes to which all humanity is liable. We tender to our friends, in parting, the best wishes for their prosperity aud happiness. Tuos. Gilbert ,t (Jo. JUORE LAOS OF ALA RAMA.

NIGHT DISPATCHES. CAL EH CUSUIXO. Speculations In Regard to New Minister's IiiHtruetloii*. Washington, Dec. 3 >.—The appoint meat of Gen. Cushing to be the successor of Gen. Sickle* as Minister to Spain emi¬ tinnes to excite comment concerning the character of tbe instructions he will re ceivo from the Department of State after confirmation of the nomination by the Senate. Although opposed to an open declaration of the line of diplomacy to be pursued, it can be stated with truth that one of the subjects to which Mr. Cnsliing will give his attention will he (he policy of political and administrative reforms in Cuba, as the best means cal¬ culated to restore peace to that island and promote its prosperity, nnd among Ihese reforms is included the abolition of slavery iu the Antilles, These views have repeatedly been enforced both in the President’s annual message and the official correspondence of Secretary Fish, aud which have been often communicated to the Spanish Cabinet. It will be recol¬ lected tbut several years ago our govern¬ ment tendored its good offices to Spain in the hops of Cuban pacification, but which were respectfully declined on the basis suggested. It is not improbable that a similar tender will again be made by the new Minister, as tho Administration will resort to every proper expedient for the purpose of restoring peace aud protecting American interests in Cuba and the adja cent waters, and there can ho no doubt that an effort will be made to conclude anew a commercial treaty with Spain; tho oily one ever made with that power being that of 1795, of friendship, limits ami uavivation. TUE STItIKIXO EXGIXEEJIS Columbus, O., Deo. 30.—Railroad au¬ thorities here say tho striko must break before many days. On the other hand, a visil to tho rooms of the Brotherhood of Engineers shows them to be as determin¬ ed as they were last week. They say Chief Engineer Wilson’s orders had no effect on them.

On the morning of Christmasday, however, severe weather having eoutiu ned, the Viurginius was again leaking (is badly as ever, aud the vessels put into Frying Pan Shoals, about, ten miles South of Cipe Fear Light, where smoother water could be obtained. Here the vessels came to anchor, Capt. Watts, hoping that the Virginias would ride out the gale. Before day light next morning, Friday, Commodore Wood now signalled with lights that the Virginius was leaking rapidly, with fires out and pumps stopped, and that the crew insist¬ ed on being taken off Boats were low ered from the 0ssipee at <jay light, aud , )y 8<)Vea 0 - clotk all on board of tll0 Virginius were transferred former vessel.

Tho released captives of the Virginius still remain at the Cuban restaurant on Pine st reet, and the scene there this morn¬ ing was one of great enthusiasm. Reso¬ lutions were adopted returning thanks to Cipt. Breine of the Juniata for his kind¬ ness, aud expressing sympathy with him iu the loss of his son, It was ulso resolv¬ ed that the ex-captives should ntteud the funeral of the child in a body. Some of the captives this morning were visited by personal friends, aud the meetings ou these occasions were of a most affecting character. New Yoek, Dec. 80.-—The released Vir¬ ginias prisoners to-day passed votes of thanks to Commander Braine ana other ullicors of the Juniata. Engineer Knight, of the Virginias, said tho original sentence was that the entire crew should lie hung at the yard arm, hut the captain of the Isabella LaOatolico did not. wish such a spectacle made of his ves¬ sel nnd obtained a change to death by s’u o ing, aud the commutation of 17 of the crew to the eha : n gang. Knight and two of the quartermasters and one of the oilers were accordingly sentenced to the chain gang for life, and the others, thirteen of whom were hoys, to eight and four years of hard labor in (he gang. A life sentence of this kind was regarded as worse than death. Thirty-five of the res¬ cued men are still iu charge of tho Cuban Justice here. FOUR SOUTH CAROLINA.
