THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN
V IHI1 II. CltAFTON,
COUNTY PRINTER.
Tiie Cuban QhcnIIou.
The rumors which have prevailed for
some time, as to the interference of Great
Britain in the slavery question in Cuba, are
revived, with circumstances of corrobora
tion so strong that there is but little room
lett for doubt as to their truth. It has been
about twelve years, if our memory is not at
fault, since Sir Robert Peel justified the
proposition to idemriify the owners of slaves
in Jamaica for their emancipation, noon the
ground that the measure of abolishing
slavery in that island would exert an influ
ence upon Lhis continent, and that twenty
millions of pound sterling would be well
spent for such an object. That policy, as
■we believe, has been steadly pursued by the
British Government, and L now actually
consummated, or about being consumma
ted, in the scheme of introducing appren-
tences from Africa into Cuba, with the con
sent of Spain and under the protection of
British ships of war, to be worked for ten
years as slaves, with the further agreement
that slavery shall cease to exist in the island
at the end of fifty years. We have reason
to believe, from our private advices from
Havana, that wealthy Spaniards ’in (Juba
are now negotiating lor the sale of African
apprentices at fixed prices, in anticipation
of importations for w hich arrangements
have been made with the government of
Madrid and sanctioned and guaranteed bv
the British government. In that spirit of
©pen-sopken freedom which ought to be
the ruling characteristic of an American
press, we deem it our duty to call the at
tention of the American people to the infor
ination derived from these significant fact.s
It betfern s us to survey them w ith calmness
4j»d determination. Wo would not indulge
in passionate denunciation, but we would
speak as we would have our government to
act. with promptness, firmness, and energy.
As a question of humanity, the practi
cal execution of the scheme of Africanizing
Cuba is revolting to human nature. It has
but to he looked at in this point of view to
.see in it. a revival, in its mo-t hideous form,
-of ti ie slave trade. Let it be remembered
that the condition of the apprentice for the
ten years of his servitude is to be stripped
•of those feaulures in the slavery of the Uni-,
ted States which make humanity of treat
ment an object of interest as well as of dutv
to the owner. The apprentice is to be sold
iuto bondage for ten years, and during that
period is to be subjected to such svstem of
labor and treatment as will prove most prof
itable to the exactions of unfeeling avarice.
Ten years of such bondage will be infinitely
Weiss than a life-time of three score years
And ten of the slavery which exists in our
.Southern States. Ten years will become the
limit of physical capability in the appren-
t ce; and if he survives this limit with life,
it will only be his lot to take his freedom
with uo capacity to enjoy it. On the mere
question ot humanity, the sentiment, of the
civilized world ought to rise up and denounce
it as tou shockingly barbarous to be tolera
ted.
But it is our duty to look at tbe move
ment in its intended and its.probable hear
ing upon our national interests, and in this
point of view it presents a question of mo
mentous magnitude. Forming our opinion
upon well-authenticated historical facts, we
-iare justified in attributing to Great Britain
from her mad interference in our domestic
concerns; but our appeal has betn in vain
and we shall be compeled to throw ourselves
back upon our rights, and our government
guided by a helmsman 'who knows neither
fear nor dishonor, must stand by these
rights, and leave the consequences to an
overruling Providence.— Washington U-
nion.

money Pressure in New York.
It does noL become us at this distance to
speculate upon tbe partial panic, which has
pervaded financial circles in New York the
past two weeks, nor to oiler conjectures as to
whether the pressure in the English money
market or overtrading, in this country, has
contributed most to produce present embar
rassmeiils. We shall confine ourselves K*.
the simple duty of laying before the reader,
from day to day, such information upon
this absorbing topic, as we are able to ob
tain from our Northern exchanges, and oth
er reliable sources. In accordance with this
rule, we submit to day the subjoined review
of the money and slock market, which we
find in the Ne\v York Mercantile Journal
of the loth inst.:--Sue. Republican.
Money under the influence of the pres
ent panic, continues very scarce, and few
bills of the best class can be passed under
12 percent, from which rate up to 18 per
cent, the general run of business is doing —
Call Loans 7 per cent. «■
Foreign Exchange is lower, and for bills
on London 109 3 4 has been accepted for
best bills this morning. The range is from
1U8 1 2 a 109 7 8; Paris of. 13 3-4 a of.
11 1-4 for 00 days biffs, and of. 7 l-2aof.
5, tor short sight.
Railroad Bonds continue almost unsalea
bleat any price, and good, bad, and indiffer
ent of all new issues are for the moment
classed together. We regret to fiud by the
Troy Whig, that the Albany Northern Rail
road Company have made an assignment.
Stocks of all descriptions continue to de
cline, ami although today, we have not had
that eagerness to sell, which characterized
yesterday’s market, still price* have again
given way. New York and Erie closed at
71, which is a decline of 4 1-8 since the
first Board yesterday, though 2 higher than
some sales reported after the adjournment
of the second Board last evening. Hudson
River Railroad declined 2 1-2; Reading
Railroad 2 1 8; Nicaiagua Transit 8; Cum
berland Coal and Harlem Railroad 1 1-2,
and New York Central Railroad 1. Sales of
Delaware and Hudson Canal Co., at 116; of
Pennsylvania Coal at 107, and New York
and New Haven Railroad at 100.
The only lailuie at-the Stock Exchange
has been that of Mr. Moses. A. Wheelock,
but his liabilities are small, in comparison
with some of the late leviathans.
In United States Stock nothing has beeu
done, :ind generally m Bonds very little.—
We note sales of §1000 California 7’s at 84
—§1000 Erie, 2nd mortgage, at 100 Dau
phin and Susquebannah at 58, and $28000
New Jersav Central Railroad at 03.
I he Coal Stocks are much depressed—
Parker Vein being down to §8 1-2—Phoe
nix no $14—New Creek to $2 5-8; and
Cumberland §34.
At the Mining Board the sales continue
very-triial.

The Eastern War *.
We have, as yet, no further tidings of the
anticipated War between Russia and IuV-
key, than was furnished our readers iu last
week’s issue. It is pretty generally conce
ded that the Sultan will be compelled to de
clare war, though no formal declaration
had been made. The furore for War, it is
thought by foreign correspondents and
newspapers, has been pretty thoroughly iu-
fused among the Turkish soldiery, and can
not be allayed without a brush, especially
and which could not be done this side of Ma
con. This, of course, delayed us for several as they regard the position of Russia as in-
davs. We hope to escape similar casual- ( imical to their teligious rights and privileg-
ties in future. es. This, of itself, would be sufficient to
provoke all good Mahomedans into au un
mitigating and unrelenting war ; however
much the other Powers of Europe may dep
recate the result, it is doubted whether the
Sultan himself could check the frenzy, with
safety to the existence of his government.—
Other elements in their difficulty—as the
seizure and occupation of the Datnibian
Principalities might be settled by success

counts gave information of the willingness
of Russia to terminate the difficulties by

The Weather.—As we anticipated in
our last issue, the clearing up of the threat-
ning looking clo lids of Monday gave us a
heavy frost on Tuesday morning which
slayed vegetation to a great extent, and,
thanks: for its sanitary properties has con
tributed to a more healthful condition of
the country. Since Tuesday the weather
has moderated considerably, a slight fall of
rain on Thursday, with similar prospects
for Friday, and it has been gradually turn
ing cooler, and yesterday morning we had
another frost which will probably destroy ; was the provoking c«use of its occupation ;

For the Central Georgian.
Mr. Editor I notice in the last issue
of the Georgian - my name suggested by
some friend?as a suitable cardidate to be
run by the Deiiiocrafic party of this county
tor the office of Sheriff'. While I thank
the writer very heartily for the preference
lie expresses for me, yet I cannot consent to
become a candidate for the office. There
are others in the party inclined to it candi
dacy and who can render better service than
myself; of such, the nomination ought to
be made. In the meantime permit me to
suggest-the name of Mnj. TUbs. C. Strange
for Sheriff', aud Spencer Brantley Jr., as
his deputy. A. BEACH.
