The Last One.
Among the new newspaper candidates for pub
lie favor and exchange, which we almost daily re
ceive. the last one is No. 1 of ‘‘The Last Rose of
Summer,” published at Buchanan, Botetourt Cos.,
Virginia. It is evidently a “valuable paper.”—
We copy verbatim, the editor’s salutatory to his
brethren of the press, and congratulate, the old
Dominion on this accession to its literary strength.
For the benefit of weak eyes all the original mat
ter of the “Rose” is in type as big as your fin
ger:
To our brother edtors I have takn upon myslf the
responsibility of editng the Last Roe of Sumer do
most earnestly request you to honor me with your

Judge McLean. —The Cleveland (Ohio) Her
ald says that Judge McLean’s health is evidently
again giving way. On his return to the capital
he was, for a few days, enabled to vigorously pro
secute his duties, but by last accounts he was not
able to attend the sittings of the Supreme Court;
and it was said he would soon return to Cincin
nati. The Herald adds that Washington gossip
has selected Judge Bartley as tne successor of
Mr. McLean.
FOR THE TIMES.
The Beu of Ice,—Honor to whom Honor is Due.
Messrs. Editors : W’e were of a large and appre
ciative audience, who witnessed the performance
of the above play by the Marsh Troupe, and were
most agreeably surprised
The plot is touching and pathetic. The scene
ry and appointments admirable, and the rendi
tion of some of the characters—extremely happy.
Miss Louise possesses talent of a rare order,
and exhibits more proficiency than we have ever
seen in one so young. Her movements are easy, ;
flowing, graceful: her reading, clear, sonorous and
musical; her perception of the character, true to !
nature, not overdone, but full and rounded. In
a word, we predict for her a career more or less
distinguished, according to the degree of study,
which she may give to an art, for which she ex
hibits a remarkable adaptation.
Miss Carrie, also, deserves notice : her whole
bearing, being correct and life-like. A little stiff- ■
ness in the use of her hands, alone, mars the
general propriety of her delineation.
Master George Marsh, has a genius for come- i
dy; his success in that role, is certain ; he seems I
untaught, and the humorous appears to spring
spontaneously from his own brain; perhaps, i
however, it would be well to cheek his comical
propensities, in a piece so tragic as the Sea of Ice.
On one occasion, we noticed with pain, that the
less discriminating portion of the audience were
earned away by his fun at a time, when the play
was passing through one of its most touching
periods. We do not blame Master George for
this, for it would he unreasonable to look for true
dramatic discretion in one so young. But to the
management we commend those lines of llainlet— ;
“Let your clowns speak no more, than is set
down for them; this overdone, tho’ it make the
unskillfu laugh, cannot but make the judicious
grieve: the censure of one of whom, must out
weigh a whole Theatre full of others.”

Captain Generalship op Cuba. —The last
Spanish mail sets at rest, for the moment again,
the periodical announcement of a change in the
government of the Island of Cuba. The late ru
mor seems to have originated, like all others, in
Gen. Concha’s “prudent” quarterly letter asking
to be relieved; the precarious tenure of his office,
in the uncertainty of Spanish politics, making
the tropical climate of Cuba, about so often, pe
culiarly unfavorable to his liver complaint. The
rumor in this case seems to have gained more
credit from the zeal w ith which the friends of the
Captain General seconded his request at home.—
‘'The late difficulty with Garza at Tampico had
been satisfactorily settled by his prompt and ener
getic action : the Island was quiet, and it was but
right that after services so long and so arduous,
he should be relieved.” This was going almost
too far, and it came well nigh having an entirely
different result from what was undoubtedly in
tended, and then our neighbors of the “ever faith
ful isle” would have had the misfortune to have
in place of a prudent Captain General, whose ca
pacity had been proved, one of whom they knew
nothing, and who knew nothing of them. —N 0
Picayune.
Anecdote op the British Queen. —The Bos
ton Post tells us that a gentleman of Chelsea,
near that city, who visited Europe last summer,
delivered an interesting narrative of his travels,
in a lecture to the Chelsea Library Association
last week. In the course of his lecture he
related the following anecdote of Queen Vic
toria :
It is reported that her Majesty has a sweet lit
te temper of her own. and that her car a sposa,
j f prudent man, always retiresbefore the storm,
and locks himself in his private cabinet untilth*
sky is clear and suushiue again illumines the clas
” shades of St. James or Wind? or. After one of
these little ebullitions, the queen gave a “thun
dering knock” at the door of the room where
Prince Albert had taken refuge, and upon beiDg
asked, “Who’s there ?” responded, “The Queen !”
“The Queen cannot enter here,” responded the
henpecked. After the lapse of half an hour, a
gentle tap was heard upon the door. “Who’s
there ?” asked Prince Albert. “ Your wife,” re
sponded Victoria. “My wife is always welcome,”
was the gallant reply.

Important if True. —A Washington corres
pondent of the Times (though we know not on
what authority) writes—
“ The Hon. Wm M Churchwell* of Tennessee,
went to Mexico some weeks ago as a secret agent
of the United (states Government, to make exam
ination and report as to the true condition of - par
ties there, the ability of either to sustain itself,
aud the propriety of recognizing the Juarez Gov
ernment of that Republic. It was supposed that
his report would have been received, in part at
least, by the Tennessee on her last trip, hut it did
not come to hand so far as I can learn. There is
little doubt that it will arrive by the next mail,
and he followed immediately by the recognition of
the Constitutional or Liberal Government, That
done, a treaty, the points of which are already ful
ly, tho’ informally agreed upon, will be concluded
forthwith here at Washington, in time for the ac
tion of the United States Senate, before its ad
journment. Such, at least, is the programme at
present, and it will ho carried out unless some
event occurs which cannot be anticipated at this
time.”
The Wanderer.
We find the following in the correspondence of
the New York Herald, from an officer on board a
11. S. ship of war, now on the coast, of Africa:
••'October 11th, the day after leaving Ambrizo,
we had a chase after a large schooner off Snake
Head, under suspicious circumstances. She heat
us sailing, however.”
“We learn here that the captain and men of
the Wanderer, whilst out here, wore the uniform
of the New York Yacht Club—assuredly a piece
of bail taste upon the business they came for.
There is no doubt but that the Wanderer got safe
ly off with her cargo—a comment upon our fleet
sailing that we could not nab her.”
“Old dull sailing vessels are entire!}’ useless.—
Only the other day we feel in with a very suspi
cious schooner, after whom we crowded all sail by
the wind. We were going 8)4 knots, and yet she
left us as though we were at anchor, eating us out
of the wind with ease, sparing us her gaff topsails
and flying jib.”
“After remaining on the coast some time, we
began to think we would have nothing to do,
when, one morning, word was brought us that the
Wanderer was loading with slaves. The Vincen
nes, after fifteen days of preparation, was dis
patched to investigate the matter. We soon
learned that the Wanderer was between us and
the Vincennes, having had the hardihood to ap
proach within sixty miles of our anchorage and
to anchor off Ambrizo.
“Dn being duly provided therewith, we set sail
for Gobito Bay, with the view of spending a
couple of days for the purpose of allowing ample
time for the Wanderer to get her cargo of negroes
on board, so that when we captured her there
should he the strongest proof of her character.
But, upon our approach to the mouth of the bay,
there was no sign of even a boat there. Leaving
our ship riding safely a mile distance from the
land, the barge, gig and whale boat sailed with
their respective occupants, duly armed with knives
and guns ‘for protection,’ into the bay on an ex
ploring expedition.
“After remaining a day we sailed for Ambrize.
On arriving there, we found that the Wanderer
had never been there, but had already sailed from
the Congo with a cargo of slaves.”
The New Counties.
The Milledgeville Recorder, in speaking of
Butt’s new map of Georgia, has the following
very just, comments upon the folly of the Legisla
ture in uselessly establishing so many new coun
ties.
We have been struck with the size and shape
of many of the new counties that have been made
in the last few years by the Legislature, as shown
by Mr. Butts’ Map. Of all imaginable angles,
(and tri-angles) shapes, sizes and forms for coun
ties, Georgia will be hard to beat. Some, to our
eye, are not much larger than a decent potatoe
patch, and others are so tortured into a shape, that
it would make one cross-eyed to look at them
long. Now, we have no objections to new coun
ties, when there is an absolute necessity for it, and
when said counties can pay more into the State
Treasury than they take out for their members to
the legislature and for school purposes; Some of
the eounties in the State are an outrage upon all
sense of justice, as the tax books show that they
are a burden rather than a blessing. And then
the idea of one hundred and, thirty-two Senators /
Thinking men of Georgia ponder upon that fact.
No wonder we have such legislation. And think
of the price we pay for it! Forty days at six
dollars a day for 132 Senators amounts to the
small sum of $31,680, independent of clerks, mes
sengers and door keeper, which amounts from
five to ten thousand dollars more! We could not
help being led to these reflections by looking at
some of the small counties created for selfish pur
poses by some few aspiring and would be legisla
tors.

Washington, Feb. 14..—The President to-day
affixed his signature to the hill admitting Oregon
as a State.
Messrs. Lane and Smith, the new Senators from
Oregon were sworn in and took their seats in the
Senate to-day. A discussion on the tariff bill and
on the Indiana contested election case occupied
the time ofthe Senate until the hour of adjourn
ment.
In the House postal affairs were discussed. The
House refused to entertain the bill extending tho
Treasury note law.
From Havana.—Havana advices to the 30th
ult., have been received. The growth ofthe cane
is a large one, the quality excellent; but the work
of getting it in is more than usually behind hand.
And this principally because of the remarkably
heavy rains which at a very late season have fal
len throughout the tropics, making the roads had
and impeding the grinding. At Havana the ar
rivals had been so small, or the transactions there
in so few. as scarcely to give character to the
market. The same is said of Matauzas, where
there was an unusually large number of buyers
on the ground. The rains, however, had been
heaviest in the eastern part of the island, where,
especially on the large plantations near Cardenas,
the work was most behind.
In Bloom. —Wo were shown, yesterday after
noon, a sprig taken from a peach tree from the
orchard of Mr. H. Winter, near the Arsenal,
which was so swollen in the bud as to develope
its bloom. We may safely say that peach trees
in Columbia are in bloom, and we regret it very
much, for it is likely that the fruit may be lost to
us this season. — Columbia Bulletin.
From Cuba . —By the arrival of the Black War
rior at New Orleans, we have advices from Ha
vana to the 3d inst. The political news princi
pally concerns the great question of the day', the
purchase of the Island, the discussion of which
was vigorously renewed on the 30th. The occa
sion was the receipt of the debate in the Spanish
Chambers, on the 4th, and the recent report of the
Committee of Foreign Relations in the Senate:
hot water and cold, almost at the same moment.
The first is published in full, to the great gratifi
cation of our Island neighbors : the latter only
in a brief analysis and accompanied with ridicule
of its positions and argument. The old charges
of lawlessness and territorial rapacity arc also
again renewed with considerable bitterness against
us, and the assurance reiterated that the Island
can never he alienated from the Spanish domin
ions, moreover, that any- further procedure in the
matter of its proposed purchase, can only be con
sidered as a national insult.
About three weeks since a cargo of Africans
was landed on the island, to the westward of Ha
vana. The government officials succeeded in cap
turing some of them, as also the crew of the ves
sel, which was made up of Spaniards, Portuguese
and Irish.
Curious Coincidence, if nothing More.—
Among the providential escapes from the North
Carolina, recently destroyed by tire, was that of
Dr. McCabe, ofthe Ascension Church, Baltimore,
who had made all his arrangements to return
home in the ill-fated vessel, hut by an accident
only, took the Georgia:
“The revered gentleman, on Saturday night,
offered up in church a prayer of thanksgiving for
the escape, and told the congregation that while
asleep in the saloon ofthe Georgia, he alarmed his
fellow passengers by cry-ing loudly- in his sleep,
“fire, fire, fire,” which caused considerable ex
citement, for a while, but being nothing hut a
dream, the fears of the passengers were soon
quieted.
U. S. District Court.—But little was done
in this Court yesterday. The Wanderer’s ease
was brought forward and submitted to the Grand
Jury, hut they had not concluded the investiga
tion up to the hour of adjournment.
The Grand Jury found another true bill against
Samuel M. Burnett for sending false writings to
the Pension Office.
The trial of Reuben R. Ransom, for a similar
offence was commenced and will he concluded
to-day. —Savannah Republican, Saturday.
