The Memphis ledger, speaking of tin nomination of Douglas for thePresiden c j in 186Q^|ays: never believed that am vqjfUlftaie man could be elected in I 860." should be pleased to have some one, familiar with the career of the lit tle giant, point out some of the evi dences of his “safety" for the South.- Poes it consist in his assertion in refer ence to tne Kansas Bill, that it was the best measure for freedom ever adopted ? Poes it consist in his perfidious course in the defeat of the Lecompton Consti tution, or shall we look for it in his new mummery about the right of territories to exclude slavery by unfriendly legis lation? Verily if he is the only safe man at the North, the South may well despair. Cuba. It is pretty generally conceded, that a movement is about to be made to ef fect a descent upon or revolution in Cu ha. Bodes of men are being organized in different parts of the country for some 1 purpose unavowed, or if avowed evi dently pretended. The declaration that they are brought together merely for the purposes of peaceful emigration to some Western Territory, is transpa C rently delusive. Peaceful emigrants, al though needing arms, have not much n necessity for military leaders, or a mili tary organization. At the North, when the desire for and substantial interest in the acquisi- c tion of Cuba, is greater than at the South, there arc the same attempts to create a sensation as were previous to the unfortunate Lopez expedition, the n same hoisting of “flags of free Cuba," the same doleful expressions of sympa thy for the oppressed Cubans, the same periodic announcements of incipient revolution in the island. The senti- g ments of the Cuban people are misrep resented in the same manner. We are IV' told of powerful and secret associations among them ready to receive, with open F arms their deliverers. The men of the v Lopez expedition were deceived by the Same tales, and led on to destruction, if c men are again deceived, their memories must be unfortunately short. At preß C ent there appears nothing to show that the' people of the island are not content 1 with their condition, there may be some, j as there is in every country, who are restless and factious, but the great mass of the population appears to be loyal to the crown of Spain. If they are discontented and meditate rebellion—if they are wronged and feel their wrongs it is for them to stilke the first blow—it is not at all becoming In our people to be taking up the cudg els for people too lazy or cowardly to tght for themselves. That Cuba must one day be ours, all the world, except Spain, admits, better for us and onr reputation for honesty, that we should wait our opportunity for acquiriug it honorably and fairly, than to do so by underhanded means and in a dishonor - ble manner. Gen. Henningsen announces his | withdrawal from the Arizona Assoo'a tion and the formation of a new asso- c elation under the name of Hknmngsfx’s j Arizona Association. |T At a meeting of the citizens of Putnam County at Eatonton, thirty de legates were appointed to the Bail road Convention to be held in that place on the 30th inst., in reference to the con struction of the Railroad from Madison to Eatonton.

But we never recollect seeing SO many bales brought to market in the month of April, as has been the case the present year .—Federal Union, Serious Accident.— The Montgomery Advertuir says : We learn that during the severe storm on Friday morning last, the corn-crib of Charles G. Guntei Esq., on that gentleman’s plantation in this county, was struck by lightning, and two of a party of negroes, nine in number, who were at work therein shelling corn, were instantly killed.— Another negro of the party was so se verely injured that his life was despair ed of yesterday. The remainder of the party sustained less serious injury from the shock. The crib and contents were totally consumed by fire. T7. S. Circuit Court.— This body was convened yesterday morning, their Honors Judges Wayne and Nichol, pre siding. The grand jury found a true bill against Nicholos A. Brown for im porting Africans.

Liability for Raooage—An Import ant Decision.— The Darlington Flag f» ,ys: At the late session of our Court an action against the Wilmington and Man chester Railroad Company for a lost trunk was tried. The value of the con tents was proved to exceed five hundred dollars ; this company have an endorse ment upon their tickets which, among other things, declared that they will not be responsible for lost baggage to an amount exceeding one hundred dollars. This endorsement was relied upon to limit the liability of the company in this particular case. His Honor ruled, and so charged the jury, that common carriers could not thus limit their liabilities. He dwelt upon the injustice which would result if the endorsement upon the tickets re ferred to was taken and considered as a contract, to which the passenger wn presumed to have assented. The jury 1 found for the plaintiff to the amount , of the contents, as proved, i We learn that the defendants have Q appealed. If we may presume to ex - $22, H pln il° n ’ we think the views taken by His Honor are correct, and we bave but little doubt as to what will be ■ the decision of the Appeal Court. Thie e is an important question, both as re. j gai'ds the traveling public and railroa | companies, and we are glad an oppor 0 tunity has arisen for the final adjudi cation of it by the highest tribuna known to our laws. 5 Death oe the Oldest Graduate c Harvard University.— Dr. Williai • Sawyer died in Boston on Monday.

The steamship John L Stephens ; brought down over $2,000,000 in gold, which is on its way to New York. | A terrible accident had happened to ; one of the ferry boats at San Francisco on the 3d instant, which caused much j excitement at the time in the city. Six persons were instantly killed, and be tween twenty and thirty wounded, some dangerously. The mining prospects for the spring are very encouraging, and on the subsi dence of the waters a large yield is an ticipated. Trade at San Francisco continued dull and most descriptions of goods had de clined, but still there was a fair pros pect for an unusually large spring busi noss. The Vanderbilt line of steamships, which was temporarily withdrawn, have again resumed operations. Fire t \ Columbia.—On Saturday, af ter breakfast, the city bell gave alarm of fire, Vhich was found to be on the premises of Mr. Harley, in the suburbs, ielow Stark’s Hill, near the rail road bridere.

The house was burned; , and the girl, the property of Mr. Rawls, ’ was so severely injured, that she died in the afternoon. l Another.—While writing the above, at 4 P. M., the hell again sounded, and a dense smoke soon showed that the ' stable of the City Hotel were in flames, j The engines were speedily present and t worked with great efficiency, and, with the aid of the Hook and ladder and Axo Company, arrested the conflagra -1 tion, which threatened to be a fearful one. There is little doubt that the fire commenced i* the stable loft, and was the work of an incendiary.— South Caro linian i Prospects of the Wheat Crop in e Texas. —The Austin Gazette says : Letters from the valleys of the Leon and Little river, inform us that more t wheat will be harvested this coming e season than ever before. A gentleman, writing to us from Collin, says that near the East Fork of the Trinity and on n the Ten Mile Creek, the wheat looks 5 very encouraging. In Denton county and also in Dallas and Parker, late let ters show a very large crop to have been •• put in, and everything favorable to its growth. A writer from Kaufman es e timates the value of the wheat crop of that region at $40,000. All our friends are in highspirits. We regret only that ) we have not the transportation to carry the gigantic crop to market. Hon. James O. Putnam, in a recent letter, gives the following ; l ' When in the Island of Madeira, I e saw a few cases of intoxication among t the poorer people. And I had, from a nine years resident clergyman, this ex -0 planatioff: That before the failure of the wine crop in Madeira (formerly the annual yield was about 16,000 pipes of wine, now five or six hundred,) there I was scarce any drunkeness on the Isl and, but the failure had placed wine be yond the reach of the poor, they now cultivated the sugar cane, from which e was manufactured a strong spirit now • e in common use. And the result was h drunkenness had appeared as the wine disappeared. A Fish Story.— A gentleman who has lately been spending a few days on the Cibolo, relates the following as au j, thentic. A few evenings since a lad set g a line out in the creek to catch a cat iß fish ; next morning he visited his line . when he found it to be too heavy for 1 him. Obtaining aid he brought his line i- to the bank, when, wonderful to relate, there was an eel and two large catfish on it, one weighing twenty-five and the other twenty three pounds This fish 1- problem was thus solved: It seems the eel was first hung on the hook, then catfish number one coming along swal s- lowed eel, who couldn’t stay swallowed, ;d and slipped through Mr. Cat’s gills. stringing him on the line ; then catfish ’ number two came along and likewise 3_ [swallowed eel, who again escaped Jo re nah-ism by slipping through his gills ; er doing honor to the slippery reputation “ ;of his race.
