Tho work of destruction still goes oil, and thu inactivity of tlio Cubnus in tiic field is made up by their energy in the destruction of the property of their opponents.— Though littlo is apparently done by the insurgents wo ennnot loose sight of the fact that Spain is gradually becoming weaker nnd weaker at home.

It Ib urged that the Northern States will not allow this question of reconstruction to ho ro-opened ovory month to stilt tho icccssitios of Rndlcms. On tho whole, it ,s believed by t hose who have made a care ful estimate of the vote of tho State, that, though tlio IMnglmm amendment will bo voted out,jyot that In llou of it there' will be adopted some provision, like that al ready foreshadowed by a Republican Ijon- ntor, declaring that the Logislnturo linvo iio power undor tho Censtilutlon. to pro long thoir own tornis of office, nnd that to do so would bo such a violation of Repub lican principles ns would Justify interven tion hy Congress to correct it.
