At tbo present moment tho following sta
tistics of the Island of Cuba and the view of
the character of its population, &c. are of
deep interest, considering that they are evi
dently from the pen of the enlightened Edi
tor of the Evening Post, (Mr.Bryant,) who
visited the Island a year or two ago, and
had overy opportunity of acquiring the infor
mation which he now opportunely lays be
fore the Public :—Nat. In.
From the New York Evening Post of Monday,
Castile on St. Dominoo.—At a meeting
of thefripnds of Cuba in this city, a resolu
tion was passed to raise a company of men
lo serve in the enterprise of revolutionizing
Cuba. As the present state oftlio insurrec
tion in that island cannot be very clearly
mnde out from the contradictory reports
which arrive from Havannn, and ns it is very
certain that, if the struggle should be pro
tracted, Cuba is destined to be the gra<'e of
many Americans, it is will perhaps to take
more comprehensive views of the subject
than have yet oppenred in any of our jour
nals.
The'Colonial Government of Spain is oi
of the worst forms of government in the world.'
It allows the people no share in the adminis
tration of affairs, even by the expression of
opinion ; there is no freedom of speech, of
the press, or of occupation ; the despotism
of Russia is not more severe or more hateful.
On a population of little more that a million,
including the slaves, it levies annually, by an
arbitrary system of taxation, and every sort
of vexations excuse, a tribute of twenty-four
millions of dollars. With a part of this sum
the Spanish Government supports twenty
thousand soldiers to keep the inhabitants in
subjection, and tho entire Spanish marine
which has its principal stations in the ports
of Cuba. No trado or business can be pur
sued without first paying for a license ; no
company be entertained or amusement takee
in nny residence j no removal be mado from
plnce tb place without the same ceremony.
The productions of tho plantations are taxed
most of them ton per cent, on their value ;
tithes are exacted lo tho amount of more
than a quarter of a million of dollars, yet the
inhabitants are obliged to support their pla
ces of worship and cemeteries by subscrip
tion. No islander is ever allowed to hold an
oflico, civil, judicial, or military ; every place
of honor, trust, profit is held by natives of
old Spain. The island is allowed no repre
sentative in tho Spunish Curios. The Cap
tain General of the island is ns absolute ns
the Grand Seignors, and establishes any law
which his caprice may dictate. Under his
rule ihe slave trade, which is now tolerated
in no other civilized country—which even
Brazil has now suppressed in her dominions
—is actively carried on, nnd large cargoes of
men and women from Africa are constantly
swelling the number of those who are held in
slavery.
Such is the Government under which the
people of Cuba live. Nothing can be more
natural titan tlint they should find such in
tolerable and desire to sllnko it off,—
That this desire is general among the plan
ters of the Island, who bear thp principal
burdens of the Government, there is no man
ner of doubt.
There is, howevet, a large class of whites
on the island who’enre very little under what
form of government they live. These ore the
monlcrous or peasantry—tho poor whites
who can neither read nor write, who do not
understand what political freedom means,
and who are content, so long ns they are al
lowed a hut thatched with palm leaves in
the uncultivated parts of the country, nnd
the amusement of cock-fighting on the holy-
days. From them no co-operation of nny
sort in the insurrection can be expected.—
How large a part of the inhabitants they
compose we hnvo no statistics to inform us,
but nnv one who has travelled in Cuba and
seen their habitations scattered in the val
leys and on the skirls of tlie plantations
would not, we think, hesitate in making
them att numerous ns the planters. Their
entire nature must be charged before this
class can be inspired with any interest in
political questions.
The planters, on their part, however much
they might desire abetter government,t-have
all the timidity which belongs to capitalists
of every sort, wherever they are to be found.
They would be very glad to see their island
annexed to the United States, mid lo be rid
of tho exactions and oppressions which meet
them at every step they take ; but it is not
from men with large estates, particularly
from a race mnde indolont and fond of ease
by a tropical climate, that we are to look for
revolutions. Nothing is to be expected
from them as a class until the clmnces ap
pear to be greatly in favor of their libera
tion.
There yet emain the inhabitants of the
towns, among whom may be doubtless found
some friends of revolution who would be
willing to make sacrifices and expose them
selves to hazards for thesakeof riddingthem-
selves of the yoke of Spain, but to the
greater part of whom, not unprosperously
engaged in commercial pursuits, the satno ob
servation will apply ns to the planters.
The class of people on whose bravery and
activity a tevolt from Cuba should principal
ly depend for success are the peasantry ; and
tiiese, as we have already shown, a' o beyond,
or rather below, the force of any strong mo
tives for political discontent. If they were n
newspaper reading race, accustomed to de
bate public questions like the working peo
ple of our country, the chains of Cuba would
have been snapped years ago.
The conclusion is therefore a necessary
one that, unless the independence of Cuba
be achieved for her by adventurer* from ihe
United States, Bhe will remain a Spanish
colony. The foundations ol Cuban liberty
must rest on their graves, and its structure
be cemented by their blood, Tills view is
confirmed by the result of the‘revolt which
took place in July at Puerto Principe and its
neighborhood.
That was hot'a feeblo mov
easily andspeedily put down by the Govern
ment. We had a thousand rumors of the
successes of tho leaders of that insurrection ;
of one neighborhood after another declaring
in their favor, and soldiers deserting froth the
Spanish army to the patriots. At last it ap
peared that these were false, that the Gov
ernment had been perfectly successful, and
that many who had risen' against it were at
tempting to purchase a pardon by the most
abject expressions of contrition. It does
not appear that a single Spanish soldier left
the army to take part with the patriots.
If, therefore, the expedition of Lopez
should bo able to maintain itself on the island
as a nucleus lo future expeditions, of which,
in that case, many v»!ll no doubt follow, a
long and weary struggle, with various turnei
of fortuue, will in all probability be the re-
SitouId atlengtli 'the SpntiiiMfc^vcrr
see but a doubtful chance of retaining the
island j. notice has already been given • of the
expedient to which it will resort. It has
been already announced by that Govern
ment that the island must either belong to
Castile or become a second St. Domingo.—
The slaves will be .emancipated, and nrms
will be put into thelr hands to defend their
freedom. . V
The nature of Ihe contest will then be en
tirely changed. It will no longer be a strug
gle for tho liberty of Cuba, but a war waged
to reduce the blacks to servitude, nnd re
claim them to their masters. It will then
be a question for the people of a free country
—n question for those who are exiled from
the despotic countries of Europe for an nt-
tompt to break their chains, whether they
will continue engaged in such a.war as this.
We have yet more to say on this subject,
but the paper being about to go to press, we
must post pone tho remainder to our next
issue.

Letter from Col. Crittenden.
The following letter, received in this city
from Col. Crittenden, has been handed to the
editors ofthe Crescent for publication. We
copy it from that paper:
Ship op War Esperanza, August l6l/i.
Dear Laden In half an hour I, with
fifty others, ar to be shot. We were taken
prisoners yesterday, Wo were in small
boats. Gen. Lopez separated, the balance of
the command from me. I had with me about
ono hundred—was attacked by two batta
lions of infontiy and one company of horse.
The odds was too great and strange to tell, I
was not furnished with a single musket car
tridge. Lopez did pot get and artillery. I
From tlio sail), Paper of Tu.onlny
Castile on St. DoMtNoo.—We showed
yesterday that it Cuba should he wrested
from Spain, it would be dono principally by
adventurers from thp North, and -alluded to
the difficult position in which these adven
turers would f|nd themselves if Spain should
fulfil her threntof making tho island,' in case
it could not remain under the sceptre of
Castile,nsecond S(. Domingo, by setting (lit
blacks free and palling arms into their bands'.
There nre some, further considerations yybich
should not be overlooked.
As soon ns the « ar diverted-.frqip Its dpi-’
ginnl object oftlirowing off tbeyoko of Spain,
and become a struggle, to reduce'the. Clicks
to bondage, it Will, of course, draw into the
quorrei all the whites of tho isinndMm the
one side, and all the blacks on the oj£er,—
The montcroi, who hitVo-no-fiking for^flie ne
groes, will range themselves on the side of
the plnntcrs. The free colored people, of
whom.thero nre more than a hundred nnd fif
ty thousand on the island, some of whom
have nil the intelligence of the whiles, and
who have their own wrongs to avenge, will
naturally become the leaders of the emanci
pated slaves. Of the Haves ninny are natives
of Africa, men of herculean proportions and
great strength, who remembei Ihe horrors of
a passngo across the ocenn in slave-ships, and
are ready lo take terrible vengeance on tho
white race, ns soon ns the opportunity is giv
en them. The civil wars of the Spaniards
are always nccompnined by acts oi barbarity,
nnd with this infusion of the ferocity of the
African savage, the strife in Cuba will be
come frightfully bloody and cruel. The
plantations will’be rnvnged, the earth will be
no longer tilled, the country will become a
waste, the commerce of the island will
cease.
find that I did my duty, nnd have tho po;
confidence of every man with me, We’lmd
retired from the field nnd were going to sea,
and were overtaken by the Spanish steamer
Habanero, and'enptured. Tell Gen. Huston
that his nephew got separated from me on
tho 13th—day of the fight—ond that I hove
not seon him since, He may have straggled
off and joined Lopez, who advanced rapidly
to the interior. My people, however, wero
entirely surrounded on every sied. We saw
that wo had been deceived grossly nnd were
making for the United ‘•’lates when taken.—
During my short sojourn in this island I havo
not met a single Patriot. We landed some
forty or fifty miles to the wostword of this,
and' I am sure that in tlmt part of the island
Lopez has no friends. When I was attacked,
Lopez was only three miles off If ho hnd
not beon deceiving us its to the stale of
things, be would have fallen back will) his
force and mnde fight, instead of which he
marched on immediately to the interior. I
am requested to get you to tell Mr. Greon,
ofthe custom-house, thathjs brother shares
my fute. Victor Ker is also with mo, also
Stanford, I recollect no others of your ac
quaintance nt present. 1 will die like a man.
My heart has not failed me yet, nor do I be
lieve it will. Communicate with my fntriily.
This is an incoherent letter; but the cir
cumstance must excuse it. My hands nre
swollen to the double their thickness,- result
ing from having them too tightly corded for
the last eighteen hours. Write to John and
let him wiite lo my mother. I am afraid
that the news will break her heart. My
lionrls heals warmly towards her now.
Farewell. My love to all my friends
Is the South Degraded
It is constantly assorted by the (ire-entersi
and was most positvoiy declared by the Con
vention that nominated Judge .McDonald,
for Governor, and that the Smith lias been
“degraded from her condition of equality in
the Union.” But as they hare heretofore
failed to convinco the people of Georgia of
the truth of the allegation, in regard to the
recent adjustment ofthe territorial and slave
ry question by Congress, we have been led,
to inquiro if the assertion would hold good
with respect to Iho fair nud due representa
tion ofthe South in the administration of Ihe
Government of the Union. And wo find on
examination, that in the President’s Cabinet
nt Washington, tbo South hasnreprcsenlalion
thero of five, and the North and- great West
only four members of the Cabinet. For the
truth of this statement, witness-, the follow
ing:

J. J. Crittenden,of Ky., Attorney General.
On turning our attention to Iho members
of the Supreme Court of the United Slates
wo find that the South bus also five uf the
nine Judges—being one majority over tho
North nnd great West. Tho following list
of the members of ihnl Court, is respoclfully

To Dr. Lucien llcnslev.
Suppose, howover, that this fearful strug
gle should be ended in a year or two by the
subjugation of the blacks—a fate which we
think would be inevitable—and by their re
turn lo servitude. What shall theu be done
with Cuba, which, after so terrible an experi
ence of the calamities of Spunish rule, the
whole civilized woild would agree ought
never agaiu to come under the yoke of Spain?
An application, we suppose, would be mnde
lo annex the island to the United Slates.
This would revive in all its heat tho agita
tion of the slavery question, and beget a
more violent strife than ever between tho
North and the South. Then will arise, also,
the question whether the reduction of the
blacks to servitude shall be recognised by
puruwn country ; whether their emancipa
tion by the authority of Spain, whileshe hold
the island and exercised the legislative au
thority, was not an act which no revolution
ary Government, organized in the name of
liberty, had the power to annul ; nnd wheth
er they are hot, therefore, slill entitled to
their freedom. These questions will bo de
bated with a warmth to which the present
state of the quarrel on the slavery question
is mere apathy.
We do not think it necessary here to con-,
sider tho probability of certain other circum
stances which might somewhat vary the re
sult—n3, for example, whether any of. tho
Powers of Europe might not| think proper
to interfere, in order to put a stop to atrocit
ies of this strife ; or whether Spain might not
yield so far to the desires of the people of
Cuba as to grant them, a provincial legisla
ture, elected by their suffrages. The latter
of these, considering the character of the
Spanish Government, which is both unen
lightened and unyielding, we regard aBrwhol-
ly improbable, though it is obvious that it is
the only true policy. It is enough for us to
have shown that if the connexion between
Cuba and the mother country is to he severed
by the sword, there are consequences of the
gravest nature involved in the event, to which
it would be folly to shut our eyes.
As lovers of political freedom, we cannot
but detest the tyranny in which Cuba is held,
and cannot but wish her a happy and' early
release. So bad a Government, we suppose,
cannot long endure; it certainly deserves
not to last a day. But the immense popula
tion of slaves held by the white racouiurround
any attempt to rid them of thp Spanish yoke
by violence with fearful difficulties, .which
the planters ofthe islahdytve doubt not, see
LAST HOURS OF DR. 0LIN.
From the Northern Molhodist Journals,
we condense the following particulars whieh
will be road with deep interest. Just before
thn commencement. Dr, Olio’s youngest
child, a beautiful mid promising boy, was bu
ried. Both Mr. and Mrs. Olin wero then
suffering from Ihe same epidemic. The blow,
which, under the most favorable circumstan
ces would have been severe, in the groat
bodily prostration of ihe Dr., foil upon him
with overwhelming force. The final farewell,
at the close oflhe funeral exercises will not
soon be forgotten by those who were present
on Ihe occasion ; the founluins of Ihe great
deep were hrokon up, and Iho mighty man
was convulsed by his sorrow. A week after
this, it was thought advisable, as Ihes'ckness
continued in the house, that the oldest, and
now only child, little Henry, should bo sent
to their friends in Uhinobeck. Now came
another painful and prostrating scene., fbo
Dr. had became much weaker, nnd a little
apprehension in reference to tho result was
felt. He felt ns if he were taking his fmnl
Icnve of the child. How piophetic was this
impression ! It was almost heart-reading to
witness the separation. For a week preced
ing his death, the Dr. was subjected to a hic
cough which greatly exhausted his strength
nr.d rendered it almost impossible for him to
hold any communication with his friends.—
His utterances were indistinct and accompa
nied with painful- gnsping. On Tuesday, his
dysentery ceased and his symptoms seemed
favorable; but soon after a diarrhea set in,
which, in his great debility, foreboded the
fatal result.
From (lie moment of his attack he had
little hope of recovering. “Those doctors,
said he to Dr. Floy, “profess to have some
hope in my case, but my hope is in Christ
He was perfectly resigned, nnd manifested
the utmost patience under his suffering.—
During tho last few days of his life, Bishop
Jane-, Dr. Holdicb, and Dr. Floy, were with
him, nnd they report from his mouth tho fol
lowing sentences, which, few and short as
they nic, afford tho most decisive nnd satis
factory evidence of his readiness for his
great chnnge. When perfectly free from
mental wanderings, he said . “I am resting
on the old foundation.” “That is safe,” said
Bishop Janes. “Yes,” he answered,” “1
shall be saved, though it bo ns by fire.’’ The
Bishop asked, “Is your mind clear on that
point?” “Yes,” he answered, “entirely,”
andwilh energy he repeated,” entirelyclear.”
His last Words wero ; “My trust in God,
and my reliance on Christ, are implicit.”
On Friday evening he could be roused on
ly a moment at a time from the deep slum
ber which marks the last stage of typhoid
fever. He recognized one or two friends
who had come from a distance at his own
request, and affectionately repeated their
names and then sank away again into sleep.
It is supposed that he wished to leave some
final communication with the gentleman
summoned, respecting the affairs of the Uni
versity, but it had become impracticable.—
The next morning the lethargy ofthe disease
became deeper, and,at last he fell asleep in
death and in Jesus—-without, apparently any
pain. ,
Dr. Olin was' born March 2,- 1707, and
was consequently in his 55lh -year at the
time of his death.
THE EDITORS IN SOUTH CAROLINA-

What! will our-Southern Rights friends

ADVERTISE!
“Do you want business ? My friend, the)
surest and best way to get it is to advertise!”
So said a retired merchant, the other duy, to
a young man just commencing business, who
was complnntng of “a lack of trade.” And
lie was right. If a mail w ants business, let
him ndyorliso—and as surely as the sunshine

believe, by one or more Northern men.—
There are others which wo disdain to men

We object lo no man on account of. bis
birth. The gentleman above mentioned and
alluded to, we objact lo, on account of their
politics, not their foreign or northern birth.
We only think it is proper in Nqrthern men
nnd foreigners, when they como to South
Carolina, to remember wlioro they were
born, and not undertake to dictate to. and.de
nounce'native South Carolinians because
they do not go for secession nnd disunion.—
An adopted citizen should be disposed to
go with his Stute and not to lead her into a
revolution.
It is well known that Goneral Quitman is
a Northern man, and we have no hositntion
in saying a Northern adventurer, His ex
treme afxiety to separate the South from the
North; the land of his birth from the land of
his adoption, is unnatural, and shows either a
knavish or a callous heart'. The land which
gave a man birth, if ho has within his heart
a feeling susceptible of patriotism, must al
ways bo dear to him. Hence no Northern
man ever elevates himself in our estimation
bytsl^ising the North. We at once mistrust
his heart or auspect his motives.
We haye all the feelings and partialities
of a.Southern man, but they do not make us
insensible to the merits and importance ot the
North. In many respects, in wisdom, enter
prise and energy, in most of the convenien
ces and comforts of life, the Northern .peo
ple are far ahead .of us. The finest looking
population we have ev.er seen, North or South
was in the city of Bos toil, and whilst we de
sire them to quiet, and keep in subjection
their fanatics and demagogues, wa do not
desire to part with them as countrymen. We
still wish to claim Franklin, Hancock, Ad
ams, and Warren; as our countrymen. When
we look at Bunker Sill, or Faneuil Hall, we
wish to behold them as belonging to our
country, the country of Washington, Piuck-
ney and Rutledge; the country in

If a man has a hundred cases of prints which
he wishes to sell, yet knows not his custom
ers—what shall he do ? Keep them boxed
up and tell nobody ofhis wishes ? Of cotirse
he will be no such fool. He will at once
adopt some method.of getting the fact thafirt
he lias tho goods and wishes to sell them,
known among those who would be likely to
buy. How will he do this? He will not
go personally; because while he is absent
from his store a trade may bo lost-worth
the whole profit on the prints lie wishes to
sell. He will not send hi» clerk, because his
services are worth more at home. . He will
not print hands-bills send them round,
because not one may fall into the hands of a
buyer. None of theso thing will he do if ho
is a shrewed business man. He will in one
minute write an advertisement, saying- thot
he has “on hand and for sale, 100 cases of
prints suitable for the season, which will be
sold at a bargainnnd fora couple of dollars
he gets inserted in the paper of bis choice half
a dozen times or so; With but little expense
and less trouble he tells hisstory to a thousand
traders, who either do or may want the very
article in question—what follows ? What so
natural as that by .informing the demand where
tho article may*bo‘obfained it will seek it,
there ? It needs no more from us to those
who have thoroughly tested the business of
advertising, to convince them of its utility.—
It is to those who have as yet not tried the
experiment, thnt wo woula spenk. It is for
their interest to investigate tho subject, and
profit by our advice, if they will. Hundreds
—yes thousands will still travel on in the
beaten and worn out track of the hundreds
and thousands who have gone before them,
grumbling at their want of success in busi
ness, yet not makingjan effort in the right dir
ection, to better their condition. Some few,
those “ones of the thousands,” whose pros
perity is often ascribed to "luck, taxing ad-:
vantage of every wind, however light, which
shall urge onward their little trading craft
towards the harboroffortune—will take pains
to tell of the goods lie has fov sale, nnd will
sell them. Others will.not spend the breath
it will cost, and will either make a long pas
sage, or be wrecked and lose all together.—,.
