SThe parson gaili appeal C-VKStr CITV: tlt-dae-adar BmKWr IX THE IXBBOUUO General Dan Sickles, our Minuter at MatlriJ, has resigne.1 so it is sail. IVing a LiU aj-iritej,- cour ageous, sensitive man, it was almost impossible to do otherwise, doubt less. He lial t encounter, daily, tUe Lot and offensive niroganee of tbo Ilklalgos bj whom Lo was snr ronndeil ; anil there came officially an J daily from oar Stats Department a cold drnngLt of non combatant, peace preserving, tlipjion ito po litical philosophy emitted ont cf the gills of the excellent and wise, but not loveable or sympathetic, Secre tary Fish.

We eocl.l admire, br.t we conld not fjmpatuist with, any hXM fold enough and wise enongh and sufii--iently non-combatant and Christ- i;ke to stand it. TLe natural thing to do, after so much insult has been fl ing at a man as Las been Hang at Dan Sickles is to Lit ont .iniek and Lard, and close the wrangle by a sc-lf-respeetfnl, rmphatia act of resent ment. A man w ith Lot blood enongh in head and heart to cause Lim to never wait to conr.t the cost when Lis bed is violated, bnt to shoot to death the intruder npon Lis domestic pea?; a man coming nn ont of a load of Eocia! contumely with the spirit and manful courage and self reliant ability to step to the fre front of battle r.r.d t-tay thero till carried off tha Held drenched i:, j courageous gora and with a leg torn ! oTbv a cannon ball is not mad-j t f ! iho refrigerated stnfT t deal, lite a p ssionless manikin with a pack of oilier liroaiue;!, scowiing fcpaaiarus i ;.n.i suiiic away meir irowns an-.i pocket their insults. There is honor and personal renown in tLe net of such a resignation. It is a manfal Conting of idl mere pusil lanimities and x'dous twaddle about turning the other eheek to beslapped ia week and sweet humility. We applaud General Sie-kles" spirit and, (unwisely, maybe) wish it might Jind a lodgement in tho Aquarium if State. Here are some of tho tel egrams relating to these Spanish vexations: Washington, IXc. S. There is rtlr.cl r.nce in ollici J onartrrs to talk a!nt t:i ..n!ii ii .t'il or actual n .-iu.iin.n of ?!inister Siekh s p-ndir.g the protocol.

He now declares that be does not intend to leave Havana nor transfer his power to Generid Muero Cabsul. who arrived by the last steamer from Spaiu. The feeling among the people at Havana is quieter, aud the tlispoeution to comply with the mandates of the Home Government and the obli gations of the protocol with tho United States, without further discussion, is becoming general. The rounnandant at Santiago de Cuba, in the absence of General llurriel, act ing without authority, placed ninety-two of the Virginias prisoners aboard the Spanish man-of-war linzn'ne and sent thcui to Cicnfuegos.

Out of the fullness of the sonnd and Leathfnl teachings of Thomas If nsley and Herbert Spencer and t!i other learned icocoela-ds of the graven images of h;:mbng and pop ular fallacy who are gntiiugtho old schools and colleges of tlnir K?cnia umliled garrets-full of literarv and scholastic Ehc.t-r;;bbifli, the popular mind is beginning to receive the healthful end invigorating fruits tlierecf. The old artificialities of a classical education which held na ture and manhood and the domestic efforts and possibilities of literature servilely subservient to the old Greek and Latin models, and which strove to crump the native eshnber anee and vigor of the Saxon tongne within the narrow sarcophagus of a d-.-ad language and swaddle it ia the grave clothes of its cramped and in applicable grammar, have met their match. Learned and vigorous minds, possessed of too much strength to be swamped in the dust and ashes of their research, have dug deep into the old, exhausted soil where the roots of over-estimated classicisms oncj 5enetr .ted their now past grow ing roots. The pamphlet before us stands manfully and intelligently forth as a champion of tho new and natural method of training the yout'if;:! mind. A sentence taken r.t nsnd.im from the interesting and iu- ftraclivo pages lirforo i;s illustrates '!: -J gnveraing F:.irit of the cs.-.iy. Say? tho w riter: I think that wo icnnr i:tv or. r.ut.. : fcic; tit ..iti;:i'i lav ni-: t ; of b-aming etiur l.n-iiV : but with tin laeliur timiic the ease it-uttogetker dif-fen-nt. Uf-ro the mastery .f f .r:a and substance can proceed ;.-; pt.t. The mother torsce is the only oue which can stand to oar modern liberal fducution in the relation, in which classical tongues stoinl to the scholars of the revival of learning. It miht be s:tid that Greek auJ Latin were mother tongues to them as scholars, because it w.is through them alone th.it they reached the lkurj!ite which really educated them. They were not brought up on empty words and barren syntax: they studied no gram mars, for grammars were non-existent. Xow when we have a I phihis.-ijihy. a history, a joe'try, a law, an etaies, which rnilKfcly till that is val uable iu clansie-.il literature, together with all the progress which thought has pro eb:ced through the.se later centuries, we not only fail to see them ns those older instruments, really aud efficiently, bnt we eijnr'.lly fail in using the older ones. We abandon both to feed our liovs on a husk wilhout a kernel. What wonder that our tdue-ation is struck with barren ness? Thus, nnder competent champion ship, is our ow n language, now rich ly freighted with a literature and a philosophy all its own, asserting itself and cdainiing a recognition of its inherent and acquired worth and its actual virtue.

XoTHistj so distressful in any tlreadfnl epidemic Las ever come to our knowledge, of late, as the follow ing which is among the San Fran cisco dispatches: A family named Manning, resieling on Jessie street, buried the last of their nine children yesterday.

The Trili'.n':' Washington speeial bays: Xo eihcial no tification of Sickles' resignation has yet reached the State Department, but is ex pected dailv. Ine tlitnculties between Fi.sh and Sickles grew out of the ofiicious zeal of the latter, who has chosen, it seems, in the recent complications, to re-present the President rather than the Secretary of State. Uefore ha had re eeived any instructions, and anticipat in niiy action that the Government mieht be disposed to tube, Minister hiekks immediately npon receiving the news of the executions ct Santi:o ele Cuba, tiled n protest with the Madrid Government. He has also since that time and up to the time when Pish first began to e-ouduct negotiations with the Spanish Government without Sickles" aid, insisted on presenting to Castehir more imperious demands than the in structions from the State Department permitted. On the 22d of Noveniber it was known that the relations with 1 igu eras were of an unfriendly character, and it was about that time that Secretary Fish decided to conduct the case without his assistance. At the same time it is stated that Fish took Admiral l'olo, the Spanish Minister here, into his confi dence. Sickles very naturally became discontented, and advised this Govern ment that the Castelar Itepublic was a failure, and that the United States Gov ernment should withdraw its recognition of Castelar as the head of the Spanish Government. The Secretary of State de-clined to take the action advised by Sickles, nnd the latter will now come home and lay his case before the Presi dent, whose views he has reflected throughout. The Presie.ent will not, however, there is reason to believe, sus tain Sickles, who, unless there should be found another place for him in the dinlomatic service, will be remanded to private life.
