varia and other provinces of the German
States. If Prussia cannot control the war
like tendencies of these powers, then a
general war is inevitable. The only coun
terpoise to this is the uprising of Italy
generally and the intervention of Prussia
and England.
It would seem from the rise in market
of the public funds in Europe, connected
and protected. Should Spain be drawn, by
any circumstance, into the present Euro
pean war, her finances arc so low, and her
credit still worse, she will be compelled to
•ell some of her possessions to maintain
her army. In this event, which will she
most likely dispose? It cannot, consistent
with her honor and interests as a nation,
be other than the Island of Cuba, the key
to the Gulf of Mexico. Our Government
it would seem is awaking to the impor
tance of this matter, and whatever Black
Republicans may say, this jewel must fall
into our arms. The correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, “ Ion," asserts that Sena
tor SlideH of Louisiana has been appoint
ed by President Buchanan as Minister to
France, and that he has accepted the ap- j
pointment, and that he has full instruc- j
lions in relation to the acquisition of Cu
ba. In connection he says:
Now for Cuba. Mr. Slidell is the head
and front of the project for the acquisition
of Cuba. The author and advocate of ihe
thirty million Cuba bill, he carries his di
plomacy in his hand, openly and without
disguise. The bill of which he took charge,
and for which he had the show of a ma
jority in the Senate, must now .bereft to
aomo other equally sealougSand adroit
friend of the cause. M^SlideU had gi ven
notice that be would call it up at the
OOmmmwiBIcnl of the next session, and it
knot doubted that he will carry it through
the Senate.
Provided with ample funds, he and our
able minister at Madrid, may, with the co
operation of the Jews, who controle the
power of Spain, and will, before long, if
tho war continues, have half of Europe
under mortgage, may be enabled to nego
tiate a treaty for the cession of Cuba to
the United States before the expiration of
the next Congress. By the time when
Spain will be pursuaded to part with this
jewel, our people will probably bo dispos
ed to receive it.
Taking into view the present entangle
ments of the powers of Europe, the war
like preparations of all the powers, even
those who profess to be neutral; and the
openly .and avowed policy of the adminis
tration, in regard to this island, the above
is probably true. None can doubt that it
is absolutely essential for the safety of our
nation, that we should have control of
Cuba; and if Spain has to yield her up,
that it would be a suicidal policy in us to

These who hare kept pace with the pres

time to secure this Island. It is true there
era difficulties connected with its accom

the success of the scheme; but whatever

and yet more estrays; a poor country for

and runs through one gang, taking off the

it is then turned over to the other side of

Tiie Allessandria correspondent of the

The most severe struggle seems to have
taken place at Montebello, when the allies
forced that position at tiie point of the
bayonet. The picture that met the eye
in the village, after all was over and the
firing had ceased, was, I am told, mosl
ghastly and sickening. There was scarce

not been the scene of a violent and dead

upon every threshold traces of the terrible
fray were to be discerned. The walls of
the cottages were sprinkled with blood,—
even the trees were marked with streaks
of gore.. All around, too, the dead and
dying were strewn in heaps. The agony
of some of the poor fellows is described as

Murder and Hsngng in Pontc»cc
County, Mississippi
The Oxford Mercury, of thc 18th ult.,
says:
We learn from a gentleman who came
from Pontotic, day licfore yesterday, that
-on Sunday week, as a Mr. L. E. Roberts,
a planter living near Ellistown, in that
county, was going to church, he was way
laid by a man named Ilollailay, who tired
at him with a shot gun. Twenty-nine buck
shot entered his body, which produced in
stant death. Uolladay immediately fled.
Tiie whole neighborhood was aroused to a
frenzy of excitement so soon as tiie bloody
deed became known. Men mounted on
the fleetest horses scoured the country in
every direction for Uolladay, and a party
struck his trail leading North. They pur
sued him to Bumcsviltc, in Tishomingo
county, where he was captured and brought
back to Ellistown. Judge Lynch consid
ered the case a capital offense, and on Sat
urday evening Uolladay was taken to the
scatlbld and executed by the citizens. Our
informant describes the excitement atten
dant upon the execution as being very
great. This is the third man executed by
mobs in Pontotoc county within the past
two years. It seems that Roberts and Hol-
laday, prior to the shooting, had threaten
ed to kill each other on sight, and upon
thc dead body of Roberts was found two
pistols.

which has just appeared in the Times.—
The information is taken from the Peters
burg Gazette of April, 1813, and publish
ed in the Times of May 22nd, 1812, some
months after the Frencb retreat from Mos

Government of Minsk there were burnt—

bodies of 18,797 men and 2,746 horses.—
In that department there still remained to
be burnt—of the former 30,106, and of the
latter 27,316. These were mil lost at the
passage of the Beresina; but the total
number taken into account as being con
sumed by cremation in Russia was 213,-
