RICHMOND, VA.I
YOdnradny .Horning, October 13, ISSB.
~~ CUBA.
The infatuated government of this Island
eeems determined to rush upon its fate. It
seems to have stripped oil the mask entirely,
and to have placed itself in an attitude of open
hostility to the United States. The ti r st af
front offered to Captain Porter was bad etu ugh;
it certainly demanded enquiry at the hands of
our government. The last is far worse. It in
volves an insult, which our government cannot
possibly avoid enquiring into. Nor do we see
how it can be explained, or, in any degree,
softened. It was as plain and palpable, as it
was harsh and tyrannical. It admits ot no ex
cuse, and no exteuuation.
There was a large party in this country op
posed to the annexation of Cuba. Spain, by
her own acts, is diminishing the number of such
every day. In a very little time, if these acts
continue, they will not outnumber a corporal s
guard. The people begin to see, that Spain
is forcing us, whether we will or not, into an
nexation. We cannot atlord, in time of dead
peace, to be cut ufi from all commercial inter
course with Cuba—it is better to have war at
once, and then we shall know how we stand-
We think we can see, that the obstinate deter
mination of the Spanish Government, to contin
ue the violation of existing treaties, will never
be abated, until we shall have lowered their
pride by forje of arms. In five years, from this
date, Cuba will be in the possession of this re
public. Mark that' The Spaniards, them
selves. will fcroe us to take it, conceited block
heads that they ate, who cannot see the gulf
they are rushing into.
P. S. The above was written on Monday,
for the issue of yesterday. It was crowded
out, and since yesterday, more news lies ar
rived, having a bearing upon this subject. We
get it from the New York Herald, arid the
reader must take it for what it is worth.
From that paper we learn that ihe sloop of
war Cyne has left the port of New York fur
Havana, and that the steamer Mississippi is to
follow immediately, tfce Herald says, es soon
as she gets her complement of men. but it is
well known that she has men enough. Some
♦hing else must detain her. The intelligence
has created a profound sensation on the mind
of Mr. Webster, who is still at Marshfield.
We trust that the government will not let
slip this opportunity to drive the Spaniards
away from the green island they have been
wasting, like locusts, for three centuries. They
Live ample cause for war, and our voice is for
war. Nothing less than the expulsion o!" there
miserable wretches, whose career in the New
World has been betrayed by the streams of
human gore they have left behind, from the
time ofCortez and Pizarro, to the present mo
ment, should be the object of the government.
What is the use of making treaties with them?
They take the first opportunity to break them.
What is the use ofdem-.nding an explanation?
You cannot get at the truth. The\ equivo
cate, lie. or beg pardon, wi;h the determina
tion to do the same thing over 01. :he first con
venient opportunity. The only argument thev
understand is the argument of shot and shells !
The only appeal that can make them lister;, is
an appeal to the sword. They are three hun
dred years behind the times. They are no fui
ther advanced than they were when Columbus
discovered America. Their civilization re
tains much of the barbaric, and is alto-getb
er unsuited to the latitude of America. We
will say nothing of the horrible crimes which
the atrocious government daily commits. We
are not JMibusfers, and we are opposed to filli
buster movements in every shape. But it is
t : me for the United States to take possession
of the Promised Land. The Spaniards have
been keeping it in trust for us. It is time to
relieve them of their burthen, and to send them
back home. Let there be no fear of England ;
she is not going to interfere, provided it be an
affair between governments. She only threat
ens theJit/iOusters. Besides, she is impressed
with the conviction that we are to have Cuba,
and though she may talk, she will not act. —
Without the aid of England, we need fear
nothing Iroin France. Take her from the con
tinent of Euiope, and we are doubly a match
for France. We have ample cause of war, and
now is the time to take Cuba, in fair legitimate
warfare. We trust the Cabinet will not hesi
tate. The whole country is roused, and they
will be backed by millions upon millions even
in the Northern States. We have already was
ted too much time in talking. The vain-glo
rious Spaniard thinks we are afraid of him.—
Let us undeceive him, and drive him back to
the Peninsula.
Our strength is so great, that we may safely
defy the whole world to prevent us from taking
Cuba, if we wish it. J he California steam line
which touches at Havana, consists of ten large
steamers, which could und would be converted
"lto war-steamers; we say trould, because we
learn from the Herald, that Mr. George Law,
\he principal proprietor, gave orders to Capt'.
Portjr to retain Purser Smith, at all hazards,
and t) call, with the mails and passengers, ev
ery time he passed Havana. If they ordeied
him out, very well. These vessels can cairy
5000 troops euch, so that the whole ten would
carry out 50,000 troops—(such are the specu
lations oi the Herald, and they seem well
founded.) Law has also on hand one hundred
and forty thousand muskets, and ammu
nition for a month's campaign in Cuba.—
*Ihe Herald says that there are 100,000 men
ready to join in the invasion. If the govern
ment take it in hand, we have no doubt there
are. liut we have already seen that private
expeditions, while the two countries are at
peace, do not go down with the law loving
American people. A declaration of war. bv
the war-making power, changes the aspect of
the affair altogether.
THE EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
The news by the Franklin is of a highly in
teresting character, so far us France, thegreat
centre of interest at this moment, is concerned.
Thers can be no doubt that Louis Napoleon
will be proclaimed Emperor, and just as little,
tfatt an immense majority of the French people
will not only acquieice, but even hail the event
with joy. The anarchy produced by socialism'
red republicanism, Fourrierism, and a thou
sand other iamg, all working separately, and
each equally fatal to society, has brought
about a slate ofthings in France so deplorable,
that the French people are willing to take shel
ter under the wing of Louis Naploeon, though
a despotism be the consequence. It is these
men of urns who are the most deadly foes to
liberty in France. Louis Napoleon is not half
so much to blame as they. He merely takes
advantage of the breach they hare made, to
mount to the assault and carry the garrison by
siorm. Besides, no doubt, he sees that the
strong hand, and the strong hand alone, can
keep the nation in the path which is, to them,
the path of safety and interest.
We are far from being one of those who in
dulge in the Utopian scheme, of forcing men
to be free, whether they wish it or not. We
confess that, with ail our veneration for his
virtues, we have ever looked upon the deed of
the younger Brutus, a* the act ot a very nar
row-minded and shallow man. A little reflec
tion —-onKl have laught him, that the Romans
wanted a master, and were determined to have
one. lie might have known, too, that Julius
Caesar was the best master tliey could get, for
his great qualities and mighty genius could
not have been unknown to Brutus. So it is,
now, with France. She is determined to have
a master, or any thing else, rather than anar
chy, and Louis Napoleon is, by far, the be3t
choice she can make.
Intense excitem it prevails in England,
with regard to the Lobos Islands question.
REVISION OF THE BIBLE.
The revision of the bible, has been a sub
ject of great discussion throughout the reli
gious world, for a long tune, the American
Union, a society composed of a branch
of the Baptist Church, taking the lead.
The present edition of the Bible was com
pleted when the language wr.s not so far ad
vanced as it is at present. It is alleged, more
over, by competent scholars, that it is badly
translated. Much of it appears to have been
through the indolence, probably of the transla
tors, copied literally Irotn the vulgate. It
would seem, therefore, that there was a neces
sity for a translation to be made by the general
concurrence of all the Protestant Churches,
in this country and England It is said, how
ever, that the great object of the American
Bible Union, is to substitute "immerse" for
"baptize" wherever the word "baptizo" occurs
in the original. We do not choose to enquiie
whether "baptizo" means immerse and nothing
else. But if this new translation is made not
for the benefit of religion, but to advuuce the
cause of sectarianism, we oppose it decidedly.
There many obscuriiies in the old bible, it
is true, and it is possible, that by ij careful
study and rendition of the original Hebrew they
may be cleared up; but it is easy enough to
understand every bit of it, that is necessary
to the salvation of man, and the difficulties
mentioned, are of so liitle account, that though
they were rendered us clear as noon day, it
could not counterbalance one half !he evils
which sectarianism always inflicts upon reli
gton. Better stick to the old bible —the book
that w : have all been accustomed to view with
reverential awe, from out childhood. There is a
great deal more in it (easily understood) than
we can ever act up to. Besides, we confess
that to us, the old English employed in a work
of so much solemnity, makes a deeper impres"
sion on us- then would our modern vernacular.
If' there are blunders, there are none material
—none that can affect salvation. Let us stick
to the old book; the book which made How
ard, Reynolds and Antony Benezett what they
were, which taught them to love God, and do
everything in His name. Their examples prove
that there is enough between the leaves of the
old book to save us all if we will only hearken
lo its teachings.
GYMNASTICS.
We culled attention, the other day, to the
proposal of Messrs. Hudson and Ottignon, to
establish a Gymnasium in this city, provided
the names of 100 subscribers could be pro
cuied. We expressed, also, ottr belief, that
this might be easily done.
The number of young men in this country
who, by leading sedentary lives, taking no
exercise, and bending over their books or their
desks all day, contract diseases, which hurry
them to an untimely grave, is deplorably large.
They take no exercise—their digestion fails—
their spirits sink —they become moody and
despond nt —a slight cough, succeeded, pro
bably, by a hemorrhage from the lungs, warns
them of their danger—they then, for the first
time, after it is too late, become alarmed, and
seeking relief from that most deadly of all dis
eases, consumption, in more Southern cli
mates, they die away from their homes, their
kindred, and their friends.
Many, very many, fatal catastrophes, like
that we have described, might have been avoid
ed, had the victim taken time by the lorelock.
and subjected his body to the degree <bf exer
cise, which was necessary to keep it in a heal
thy condition. Arid thai exercise should not
be merely walking or riding. It should be
something which expands the chest—which
gives the lungs room to play—which sends the
blood, in a current, from the gieat centre of the
human system, the heart, throughout its ex
tremities. Except hard labur in the field,
which is not within the icach of most of our
students and book-keepers, there is liothiug so
fit fjrthis purpose, as the exercises of the gym
nasium. So well did Mr. Jiff r :o n, a student
all his life, understand this fact, that he at
tached a gymnasium to ihe University of Vii
ginia, considering it of as much importance as
the library or the lecture-room ; lor he said,
what profit is it to a man that he should have
all the knowledge in the world, if he have no
health. Unfortunately, we believe, the de
sign ol Mr. Jefferson was never carried out.
But, indeed, Mr. Jeffeison was not singular
in this opinion. All men, who have been stu
dents, all clerks, all book-keepers, every bodv,
whose life is sedentary, feels the force of it. it
is to such as these, to the students, clerke
and book-keepers, of the city, that we panic'
larly address ourselves un this occasion. We
advise them, by all means, to take advantage
of the present opportunity. It may be the
means of prolonging their lives, of making
them sleep well at night, rise as gay as the
lurk in the morning, go to breakfast with the
appetite of u ploughmen, and to work with the
alacrity of a m»n whose task in no burthen to
him. These effects gymnastic exercises have
rarely fuiletl to produce. They are the best
cure for dysp.'psia and liver complaints ; and
the most certain preventive of consumption ev
er yet discovered.
As for the gentlemen who propose to open
this establishment, they are well known
here, and ure very popular. Everybody knows
that if they undertake to do a thing, they will
do it. If they undertake to improve a man's
health or strength by means of the gymnasium,
it will be done.
OUR RAZORS.
The Lynchburg Express wishes to know the
price of our razors. We will tell him not only
that, but all about them.
They were made at Sheffield, (not Birming
ham, as we supposed.) The manufacturers
were Joseph Rodgers &. Son, gentlemen who
have no rivul in »hcTir line, and whose fame is
as wide-spread, as that of the late Duke o*''
Wellington. Mr- Ginter, who made us a pre
sent of them, had them manufactured espe
cially for our use, taking care to signify as
much, by having our name put upon them. The
cost is reckoned, not in dollars and cents, but
in pounds, shillings and pence. It stands, on
Mr. G.'s books, £2 -Is. «>^d. So much for the
razors. They were a noble present, worthy of
tlie known liberality of the donor, and (if mod
esty did not forbid us) we should say, of the
astonishing merits of the recipient! We doubt
whether there is such another pair in the whole
State of Virginia.
As for the cap, it is of the finest silk velve.,
and the gold is of the purest.
NICARAGUA.
We are glad to see that the lute treaty be
tween Mr. Webster. Mr. Crampton, and denor
Molina, meets with tha general disapprobation
of the press. Everybody applauds Nicaragua
for refusing to ratify it. Why Mr. Crampton
was culled in, in un alTuir between this Govern
ment and Nicaragua, we have yet to learn —
Nicaragua refuses to acknowledge the protec
torate of Great Britain over the Musquito
country, and she is right. A more bare-faced,
imoudent imposture was never attempted.—
Gieat Britain, we had thought, had given it up
by the Clayton and Bulwer treaty. But it
seems she has renewed it, and it is probable,
will go to war with Nicaragua, sooner than re
sign it. We hope this Government will remem
ber, and put in practise, the Monroe doctrine,
under such circumstances.
The 'J'ehuontepec Route.
Tiiis question stands just where it did. INIr.
Letcher (recalled at his own request) and
Judge Conklin (just appointed Minister to
Mexico) are to meet in Washington this week,
to discuss matters connected with the route
with the Executive. We trust the rights of
the company will be enforced, at the point of
the sword, if necessary. There never was a
fairer claim, or a important.question in
volved.

overao -r, Mr. James Walker, on Tuesday, the S2lst
September. Spurlock hud been in the habit of get
ting diuuk ou the Monday of each week, and stay
ing away from woik. Monday, the SUtliuf Sep.
tember, Spurlock was d. *Ik as usual. The tips,
day the fjreman, or overseer of the shop, Mr Jas
Walker, determined that Spurlock should have a
fl igging for his unruly conduct, ana ordered him to
go a.ound to Mr Quarles' store with him, and re
ceive his just punishment. Ihe negro refused. Mr
Uuarles was tuen sent lor, who toon after came to
the shop. The negro then se'ted a poker and
planting h'mself in a corner, refused to come out

Mr Qiarles if they did not leave him alone. The
two gentlemen immediately closed with the negro,
and another uegro, by their orders, wrested the

close to Mr Walker's left breast, near the heart, and

it broke off near the handle. The Court tound the

At eve r y plate was laid a magnificent bouque',
and in the centre cf tne tab'e was a beautiful china
vase, surmounted by a crystal statue of Napo'ion.
The foreign gentleman in question, who is a tnaao f
distinction, and has hsd every opportunity to make
himself acquainted wi:h the beet society in the old
woild. complimented the proprietor, Mr. Smith, by
assuring him, that he had tever seej a:iy tl ing
more handsomely c' .ne 'a ail his iife. We have not
been furnished iist of the wines used on the
occasion, and can oaiy say that few houses in the
country can boft of a better or more plentiful ce'-
lar than the American lays c'aiin to. The guests
were loud in their praise of the cuisine, and we'll
th y mLfct be, "jr it is superintended by one of t":e
most accomplished men in that line of whom we
have any knowledge. We allude to Mr. F'ittelli,
we l ! known to most of our citizet sas a most amia
b!e gentleman, as well as a gastronomist ot the h r s t
order. We must apologise lor the iigure wiiich ,v ie
French of the bill cuts in our columns, by explaicio'r
to the puoltc that we have no a'<:.i's ajaoiig our
typa.
The Indians.—Attracted by'he enliren'ig mu
sic of a brass band, we entered Odd Fcl ows Hall
Monday evening, and found that a party of Indians
were about *5 give an exhibition of thiif pec j'iar
csrtmor'es and dances. We were considerably
surprised when we saw only some half dozen fer
b!-j and degenerated spec mfns of the jenus inaian
A momentary reflection, however, wou'd have co a
vinced tn ''lat a higb-apirited, uniamed " brave" oi
the forest would as soon think of caging himself i.i
a whue mau's dress and 1 mited dwelling, as he
w.'.-uldof appearing be' .ire a public audience of his
hereditary loo's, tfe pale faces, to travesty the sim
p'e, touching, and sublime ceremoa'e3 of his t ibe.
Black Hawk and Osceola speak 83 pure Euuiisli as
an Ang'o i-'ax jn, and show piaio'y Ly their manners
ar.d color th»t they have but little of the Indian
blocd in them. Notwithstanding the i'beraladjuncts
ol red paint, beads, yeiis, spas.ns and gibberisa, t l ' ;
exh'bi.ioa, ia our estimation,'was a puerhe mock
e>/, if a humbug.
New Ft'ELicATiox.— Titc Cabin and Parlor, or
Stares and Masters.—This is a w.,ric in refula.ion ci'
" Uncle Tool's Cabin," from the p.'a of J. The rmon
Randolph. The publishers, T. B. Peterson At Co. of
Philadelphia, state, in their prefac.-, that f 'ie false
views propagated in " Uncle Tom's Cabin " can on
ly be countexacted by works cf an equally popular
style. Fiction mi's 1 be uui'trm tied bij Jic oil. 'I'uou
saiids will peruse an interesting and thus nri»-
dua' y imbibe the author's views, who would rice
read tea lines of a mere argunieruaiivj volume oa
the (rue theme. Hie enemies of the Coustuuticn
must not be ie._, there fjre, to moncpuliz- so potent
a weapon.
This wcrk, they allege, is a complete aut'dots to
the poison of " Uncle Tom s Cabin."'
We shall speak of its contents mire particularly
wLen we have given them a peiu- ,1. F"or by
Geo. M. West Sc. Braiaer, Exchange Boosst >re.
Gotta Peeciu Pens.—MHuur'ajtured anil pa'ent
td by B. L. Jc C ScLL-seoger. This is an admirable
pen. It is made of steel, c iatel over with gutta
perch i, and pointed with a circular piece of plat'ca
which prevents it from corroding, or taking up p?r,
tides of pnpn-. Nseh <Sc Wo jrihou?.; are the so'e
agen..; ia <h's city, and utiles* they come from the r
bookstore they are not geutrue.
See the advertisement of Nh ,h 4 Woodhove.
