U ISS PPI CiNaTRA L RAILROAD. The tlOrlg pargraIph,s fobur m oney tile of Saterday morning, appears to have been mtuapprn heeded ased misconstrued. We re-produce it, for the pilrpose of making appropriate explanations: There has been a large amount of the bonds of the Misdiippi Central Railroad Company offering on the market, and though drawing 7 per cent, per annum interest, end considered well necured,caplt.liste do not eeyin to regard them with favor, and the highest offer ayetesard was sixty cents. Though the advantages to oar city on the completion of this road will be great, et the old stain of repudiation hangs over Mdississippi, and public securities emanating from the State are re narded with very little favor by capitalists, theugh te securities may be really as good as a gold mine. The foregoing is strictly true. In tIe commercial, as in all other departments, we seek to arrive at accou racy of statement, both in the aggregate and in the detail. In it we know neither prejudice nor partiality; and our whole object is to present to te business world of New Orleans and the Southwest a full and reliable resume of the transactions of this metropolis,as they occur. That our efforts have been attended with suc oess, and that we enjoy the confidence of the com munity, we have the very best reasons for believing. Yet the above paragraph is liable to misconstruc tion, and that misconstruction may work injury to a great enterprise, in which the property holders of New Orleans are largely interested, and which wone have ever regarded with an eye of favor. Probably, if our files were consulted, and compared with those of the city press, running a twelve months back, it would be found that we have written more and pub lished more In behalf of the Mississippi Central Rail road than all of our metropolitan cotemporaries com bined. We regard the work as of the utmost im portance, and when it shall be completed to Canton, as we terst it will be in a year or two, and as it will be, if our citizens come forward liberally and promptly as they ought, it will prove a mighty adjunct and beounteous feeder to our New Orleans, Jcuksou and Great Northern Railroad, which is destined to braech off northeastwardly from Canton and to keeR on progressing until it reaches the fertile and wealthy valleys of the Tennessee river. It will be seen that our financial editor did not state that any of the hbonds had been sold at sixty cents on the dollar,and right at this point is where the injurious misconstruction may be drawn. He only stated that the "highest osier "-not sales-lie had heard of, "was as sixty cents." From this the unreflecting might infer that sales had been, or could be effected, at sixty cents. Nothing could be further from the actnualfact. We are assured by the highest authority (Mr. Walter Goodman, Presi delt of the Company, and Dr. Vawiden) that no bonds have been sold at less than seventy-five cents on the dollar, and that none will, under any circumstances whatever, be sold under that rate. Quite a large number of bonds, we have the pleasure of stating, has been taken by some of our prominent merchants and capitalists, at that price, and we trust the re mainder ($300,000 is the aggregate) will be sub scribed in a few days. We shall be more than ordi uarily surprised if any undue delay is suffered to take place. It is true that the repudiation, by Mirsissippi, of the Planters: and Union Bank bonds, renders the public securities of that State, no matter of what kind or description, distasteful to thie capitalists of the world ; but as these bonds of the Mississippi Central Railroad Company are amply secured, and bear seven per cent per annum int rest, and as the completion of the road at the earliest practical period is of valuable moment to the commercial interests of the Crescent City, we trust no such objections will be allowed to interfere, and that the bonds will be pur chased without procrastination. We say, after core ful deliberation and scrutiny, that better securities, or safer securities, or more reliable securities, are not for sale at this moment in any market on earth. Having now explained the paragraph above quoted to the satisfaction of all the friends of the enterprise, we hope, we will proceed to glance briefly at the road itself, its present condition, and the prospects it holds out to the stockholders and the public. The card of Mlr. Walter Goodman, President of the Mississippi Cen tral Railroad Company, which was published in the Crescent on Saturday morning last, affords ample in formation. From it we learn that " the road is osS miles in length, extending from Canton, the present terminus of New Orleans, Jackson and Great North ern Railroad, northward, to an intersection with the Memphis and Charleston Road at Grand Jrunction, Tennessee, where it connects with a line of railway now in operation to Columbus, Kentucky, a point on thIe Mississippi river, Id miles below Cairo. The road will cost, when completed, $3,500,000; 122 miles of the road are norw in running order ; the remaining 6 msiles are nearly graded, and will be com pleted by next June if the Company can command the requisite means; the Company has already ex pended $2,650,000 for construction, and have $25r,00O reliable assets on hand, while the earnings of the road will uuqestionably be ltarge, and go on aurgmenting as the road progrefses. " It is estimated that the throughl and local traffic of the road will produce a yearly in. come of from $t,000,000 to $1,200,000 ; but should its gross earnings not exceed $600,000, this sum will pro vide for the expenses of the Company,the interest oo alt of its Funded Debt, for the payment of the bonds and an eight per cent. dividend on its capital." The balance of the card of Mr. Goodnman is so plain, practical and full of information, that we sobjoir it for the beuet of the public: The Company are compelled to obtain $300,000 or suspend the work now in progress, and deter its cornm plotion to an indefinite period. Thus far the work has been prosecuted by local means. The citizens on its line have paid liberally towards its construction. The road is located in a district purely agricultural. I It penetrates no commercial point. Its projectrrs look to this city as its legitimate terminus. The in habitants of North Mtisissippi desire a more speedy means of communication with New Oirleans thun any tioat has heretofore existed. Ihre they desire to sell their productions without the expense ol intermediate agents, and here they wish to come to purchase ar ticles as their necessities or fancy may require. To accomplish this they have labored Ifor several years, without one dollar of aid from tile citizens of New Orleans, the commercial emporium of the South. Shall they now appeal to them in vain for the coln paraitvely small sum of $300,000, to complete a rail road in which they have as great an interest as those who have supplied the capital that has been expended? The completion of the Mississippi Central lRoad places New Orleana within thirty-six hours travel of St. Louis, forty.eight houre tram Chicago and Ciacin nati, and eighty-fonr hours of New Yorlk. It will have a tendency to invite back to New Or. leans, try speedy conlmunlcation, the trade that has been 3iverted from thie North-Western States into other and unnatural channels by a system of r'alwayls, connecting the Upper iMiaissippl river with tile Eastern Atlantic cities. I have already stated that with $300,0)10 now placed at the command of tIe Company, tle road can be completed by Novemberr , 130, at and-w'itorut this amount the woerl must ie suspended, and the time of its completion indefoitelly postploned. Shall an appeal to the citizens of New Otleans he made in va.i for an amount so small, that if obtaineid, will, when expended, connect the city by railway with all the Northern and Eastert States, and Iby the increased business it will produce amply repay, inc a short time, a much larger sulm than is now reqluired to accomplish an object so desirable to all ? To the stockholders in the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad Conmlpany, the comrlle tion of tile Mississsippi Central Road is anl important matter, as it will unquestionably throw upon it tan amount of traffic that may render its stock the most valuable of any in the South-Western States. The matter is now broadly and plainly before our people. We feel confident they will appreciate it as it ought to be appreciated ; and if they do, tile small amount asked by Mr. President Goodman will be sup plied without any unnecessary delay whatever.

Special to the brw Orleans Ore sent.] HAVANA, Dec. 20,1855. lfessrs. Editors: You will perceive by the fol lowing translation of the leading articleof the Diarnio de la Marino of the 10th inst., that all difficulties be tween Spain and Mexico have been arranged. The Diario says : IttoasTAgT.--We have the pleasure to announce to our readers that by virtoe of the efficeciens proceed togs adopted by the Governor and Captainatensral, to afford to our countrymen resident in the port of Tampiro the protection which their position de manded, explanations have taken place between General Garma and Captain Topete, late of tihe Span ish screw steam frigate Btneguela, and the sums of money obtained from our countrymen at Tampico as fored loans ere to be retrned to them, inad the Spanish flag waos sated spontaneously with twenty one guns by the Mexican forts, a demonstration by which General arzaa wished to give a solemn proof that the Mexicans had not entertained any idea of disrespect towards the Spanisl nation, and that thiey know how to appreciate the conciliatory measures the representative of the Queen has em poyed in the spirit of friendship whic has alwayns presided over the relations between Spain and the Republic of Mexico. Neither is it of less importance, that which our letters announce to us, in reslect to the other qnes. tions pending between tie two nations. Tihe Govern meat of General Zoloaga hans directed to the IRepre sentative of France, at present charged with the interests of Starin, a note which concedes all the de mands estab ished by our Gonvemirnet, an recogni zing the duty of Mexico to foulfil all thie stipulations of I treaties, and consequently to continue the payment I of the Spanish debt, To which is added the obliga tion to indemnify the ramilies of Spanish subjects sacrificed at Cuenavane, and to punish the assassins with all the vigor of the laws. If, as we have no doubt, these notices are well founded the qestions which compelled tile Span ish Government recently to make military prepara tions tre completely settled. Peace is always the ob ject of our greatest desires, but that alone canro be ac ceptable which is honorabile. Such are the notices presented to ias, and such we hope will re oniver sally received and realized, aflirdiog fresh cause for congratulation. Doing justice does mutnoal honor to all nations, and the acts announced by the Mexican Gorernment are no less honorable to itself than to the Spanish nation. Tihe Diario do la .Marina of the suceding day con tains the letter dated Mexico, December 2, upon which I suppose the article of whichb the above is a translhtion is based, accompanied with further obser nations ; also the communications addressed by Cap Iain Topete to the " Most Excellent Senor Commann dante General of the State of Tamaulipas-which is also succeeded by nurther observations altogether oc copying more than two columnsof the Diario de la Marina, and which is too lengthy for me to attempt a translation. The Spanish Corvette Ferrolana (why she is usu ally styled a frigate I know not) arrived 10th instant in 53 days from Cadiz, bringing one "chiefi and his family, fifteen officers and 538" indenduos de Toper." On 11th instant the frigate Isabel Segunda arrived in 5o days from Cadiz via the Canary Isles, bringing one " chief," fifteen officers and 534 " Solvados." The bark Priscilla Newton arrived from Philade! phia last week, bringing a mare for his excellency the Captain General, who politely invited Captain Newton to dine with him on Sunday, 12th instant but the honor was respectfully declined. On 1lth instant the Uniled States steamer pespatch, Lieut Commander Parrott, sailed for Norfolk via Key West. I hear from what I believe to be good authority that on 13th inst., twenty-eight bodies were taken a from the ruins of the Polvorin de la Marina (Naval Powder house) at which the dreadful explosion occur ed on the 29th of Septemler last. Where else but in Cuba, would these unfortunate men have been suffered to die a lingering death of torture and starvation. Had such an event taken place in the United States not twentylfour hours would hlave elapsed before every stone in the ruins would have been turned over. But here-alls! how different. I perceive by the message of the President to Con gress, that he recommends the adoption of measures to purchase this Island frrom Spain. As to purchasing Cuba I feel it will prove eanier to talk or write about, than to do. Before it is done it will be requisite : first, to prove to the Catalonians that they will be benefitted by tihe sale of the Island, and enjoy a smilar monopoly as they now possess for I tihe sale of their wine : secondly, similar proofl must be adduced to the people of Santander who now e jaoy a monopoly for the sale of their flour. Thirdly, t the Church wdil have to be convinced that shie wil possess equal power when the Island is sold as she now has in Cuba, and she may then consent to tie sale of the Island : and lastly, when these three things a are done you must place a government inl power in Spain, so strong as to be utterly regardless of the feel ings of the people, and then bribery may achieve the i " consummation so devoutly wished lor," Iecause every Spaniard, no matter what his rank in life, looks upou Cuba as a very el doraodo where brilliant for- a tunes are mnde ; and therefore, not a true Spaniard will be found who will willingly consent to the sale of the Island. And again, Cuba seems as a place to which Spaniards considered inimical to any govern- t ment in Spain may be sent without giving them just cause of complaint, and the partisans of any Spanishl government may be rewarded by being sent here to realize wealth, from an appointment almost a sine cure yet, tielding a very hadsome income. But at though I confess I do not see cleanly howr the equi sition of Cubaby the United States is to bIe Cer~cted. I am, nevertheless a firm believer in " Mlnifet t Des tiny" and feel that by some wiser head tllan mine, al l the difltculties will be surmounted and Cuba become a portion of our owan confederation. By the way, the ai io dre la liarina of this city a publishes those portions of the Preaident's message to Congress, which reler to the relations with Spain i and this Island, and oilers the a,allwing cUmmeats therein--I translate : "Let us begin lby noticing tile great contrast bre tween the first paragraphs, in which Ii IsExcelrley I speals of the claims of American citizens for dam ages caused theal, and tle last, uwriaaeir he recom mends to (lCogress tile indenritftiationof tile dallrlge caused to tie owners of tile Spanish schooner A.nmis SThis business has been pending nearly twenty years, and thie justice of the Eclim is so evident, tIIIt the same reeommendation now made by dir. iu- t ehnaun has been previousy lymade in variious res- t sagesr-and in pite of this, what attention has beenmi Spaid to ahis alallar Wlhenl will indemnity be giveo to 'IrtpSarila subject ? lar.

Agai, to call tile a outrages committed in Cuba "questions of interna tional character." Is it not utterlly ridiculou, antd I cannot condescend to argument to pIroe it is so ! But there is another pararraph inl tIle Iliario before e me, which I must also traislaate. It says : II now remains for ius to say asomething about tile sale of Cuba--a piject entertained bIy Mr. iuehanran sinc e te Ostend Conference. Hter Majesty'a answer has been given: There is not a Spaniard of public or private char aeter, who could listen to ia proposition so highly in Ssuiting to the National character. Now as before, in thfe future a.s it present, never will Spain admit nego tiationa upon that subjectl; and the inhablitants of Cuba,wh sae ae.racter blas been so openly calumnia rted, are disposed to sarifice evervthing to sustain Ithe flag that covers theam, and ithe hae aird of whichf they eanjoy ueh solid paosperity and look forward to Shso hrsornhl.e a flatuae. t indeed ! Indeed ! Senor redactor of the Diario de la Blarint! Either you are excessively stupid or wilfully blind. You must know the people of Cuba are far from satisfied with the present form of gov ernment that has obtained power here in Cuba, and that did they dare they would tell the world so in tones as powerful as one of those trumpets that are heard so frequently in the streets of this city; and then the insult you write about in offering to buy Cuba, you will find pocketed in the shape of the millions the United States are willing to pay for your Island ; so do not let your pride outweigh your judg ment. Sell Cuba, pocket the millions that will be paid for her, return to your peninsular home,eat your garlic and drink your Catalan wine! Laugh and grow fat-for mark me, as certain as you and I now live in the same city, Cuba will pass out of the hands of Spain ere five years more have passed over our heads. This assertion is not made lightly, as will be seen by a perusal of the previous portions of this very letter upon the subject. Yet, taking all the dif ficulties that intervene, and even adding the un bounded pride of Spaniards, which I know will keep them long from yielding, yet believe me, the destiny of Cuba is fixed, and my above remark respecting this fair Isle will prove true to the very letter, and may the Genrr Goo we all worship, grant that this change he made without bloodshed, and in peace and brotllherlike harmony! The readers of the Crescent, 1 suppose, are aware of there having been recently difficulties between the Captain-General of this Island and tire Judges of the " Real Audencia Pretorial " (Superior Court.) That several of the Judges were dismissed for having received bribes, whilst tire others ,esigned. A few weeks ago we had a new " Regente " (Chief Justice) arrive, and by the last mail steamer from Spain Senor Don Ramon Marin, one of the new Judges of the Su perior Court of this Island, also arrived. On the 1st prox., a new civil code is to go into operation in this Island, which-although it is admit ted has had much care bestowed upon it-is, never theless, represented to be little adapted to Cuba. I am promised a perusal of this new code, and shall, in all probability, be in a position to express in my next letter an unbiased opinion respecting it. A young man named F. H. Stanton, from New York, very courageously vaulted into the saddle of one of a pair of spirited horses harnessed to a vo lnte, in which were seated a mother and daughter of one of the most respectable of tile families of this city ; the hobrrses having taken fright, were running away, when thisyoung man, by his courageous activity succeeded in stopping them, and probably saved the lives of the ladies, which were in imminent danger. i hear he has bad a handsome gold watch and ap pendages presented to him for his courageous daring. The lion. Mr. Douglas, who, of course you are aware, arrived here with his wife and family on the Black Warrior on 17th inst., from New Orleans, dined with his Excellency the Captain-General, on the 17th inst. The United States Consul-General in Cuba, Colonel Helm, was also, I am told, one of the guests. Our opera season is now at its bight. Saturday evening " William Tell'" was represented to a very full house. I was not present-making it a rule never to attend the first representation of an opera.

Editors-It was my good fortune, on Christmas Eve, to be present at one of tire most de lightful and joyous re-unions that in my deoultory and fun-loving life I have ever witnessed. The event was the inauguration of the " Christmas Tree " at a friend's house, who is a prince of good fellows, and with the atlille courtesy and the amiable manners of his good lady. made all feel at home, and contributed much in carrying out every arrangement with entire satisfaction. The tree, with all its manifrld presents and orna ments, had been secretly reared under lock anrd key in one of the apartmients, and for several days many little curious and peering eyes had tried in vain to discover the hidden mysteries of that room. A beau tiful myrtle of about eight feet high reared its head in an appropriate box in tihe center of a large stand, surroonded with steps, upon which were placed the many gifts. Ornamented with gay colored ribbons and illuminated with hundreds of small wlax candles, it presented a most delightful " coup d'oeil ;" again, to the right and left were two othrer stands al-o tilled with souvenirs for the young and old, for be it known that this large assemblage of over sixty eouls was composed (with but few exceptions) of the members of onle family, headed by the dear grandmrother, i ith her sweet smiles and bland and gentle manners, moving about among her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren with love and cheerfulness ; and more astonishing to relate, this veritable matron has, within the past season, worked, by herself, in the most elaborate style, nine of tihe most beautiful hand kerchiefs for keepsakes to some of her grandchildlen and great grandchildren. Oh! what a glorious and cheerful sight to witness those dear, happy faces. A great feature of the evening was the advent of a veritable, true flesh andblood " Santa tlaus." While the two parlors were filled with the juveniles, a crn tinued ringing of the door-bell and a great thumrping at tie front entrance caused quite a sensation, when I the host, in tones loud and clear, demanded- nite rhi ren do not fear, It nii .t L o Irie .l ----' At this instant the intruder entered, and uttered " Santa Ctusn." What a pictore for the pencil of an artist! The various expressions, some of fear but most of unlounded surprise, for sure enough instead of the mythical patron of the Christmas festival, who usually descends chimneys in the dead hour of the nig tto distribute his gifts, there stood the veritable in " propria'persona dressed in full costame, boohet, bells and all. As soon as the older members greeted and cordially met him, the younger ones were in. spired with more confidence, and then came a thou sand questions, " Where did he come fro.n ? " '" How did he get here'! " He answered, " On the wings of the hoary North wind," that he had traveled far that night to meet them and wish then1 all a " merry (Chritmass" and to distribute his gifts, which lie car ried in n n ilnmene e ack on his back bet ; ere he d!s tributed themr , lie read them a moral lecture, fold them he kniw the bad children who were before him as well as the good ones, and cautioned tihe first hamed to become hetter, or on next year he would bring for thern a tounch of rods that hre always kept in pickle; to the good ones he gave his kindest congratulations and begged them to continue improving. Then followed the wild excitement of lis grab-hbag, each one Ipluging in and drawing oat something pleasing. Whein they had emptied it, he arranged them in coaplet , pll'ling hInself at their head, per Iuraburlated all over the lremirea, all sitnging " Auld Lang Syne, " lhome, sweet home,' and winding up with " Yankee I)oodle," which brouight them to the mysterious chambller; that in thle meantile had beetn brilliantly ilhurlinaited, and after placing themi ini proper prositions to receive their pirerrents, Santa Claus mtytterinlrsly and suddenly dialapreared, no doubt through the chimney! It was the aerriest and most cheerfll collection I have seern for a long time, and will le trea'ured and appreciated in the paltsanrt mieriorles ,of all plsernt, and by nole more than s~i'asll ItKS FOR PsE.(ErsE.--ie. 11.
