ASSURANCE CR1ME.-A frightful crime, which

which bespeaks reckless selfshness, morbid fee
lings, and an utter absence of religion, courage
and morlas, has just Mortified st. Lo. A rich
proprietor and a MARIE for several years, passion
nately loved ayoung girl. The families were
like the parent in aRomeo ane Juliet" at wal,
and they could not agree. But after several
years of pressing solicitations, he obtained the
hand of his mistress. They were married. A
grand party celebrated the wedding and the re-
cancellation. The happy couple retired, At
six in the morning a pistol shot was heard,
The husband was found dead in an anti-cham-
Der, the young wife asleep. A letter explained
the suicide. It was written evidently before
the marriage. He said in it that he had reached
the highest point of human felicity and could
not decend. He could not bear to live to be less
loved, or to love less. q die from excess OF
happiness.n

THE SAco TRAGEDY.-We have the Saco
Union extra, giving the first days proceedings
at the examination of James H. Smith, charged
with the murder of Miss Mary Bean, up to the
adjournment of the Court. The prisoner on
a%rraignment plead not guilty. Eighteen wit
nesses were called by the Government, but on
" three had given in their evidence, which
merely described the finding of the remains in
The culvert in Storer street, near the prisoners
house, and their appearance. The principal
part of the nose, the right eye and right ear,
also the whole mouth and chin, were gone:
there was a rope about four feet long tied
together with a strip Of factory cloth so firmly
as to make deep indentations on the wrists;
over the head was a nightcap, and on the body
a ohemise, an apron and stockings. The hair
still adhered to the skull, and was quite long,
Of brown color. More than a thousand peo-

THE COMPROMISE COMMUNICATION" writes

The COMPROMISE ComM1rTEE-alon" writes
as follows to the Baltimore Sun, concerning the
Compromise COMMITTEES:
The Compromise Committee, appointed on
Friday last, have already had a meeting ana
l. To report a bill for the admission OF Cal
ifornia, and the establishment of territorial gov
ernments in Utah and New Mexico.
2. To report a separate bill for the settle.
ment Of the Texas boundary, by a liberal com.
pansation to that State.
8. To make such amendments to the law
of 1898, for the recovery Of fugitive slaves, as
D. To abolish the slave trade in the District
of Columbia by extending the laws Of Mary
land over it. :,
Little or no doubt is entertained but that all
three bills will pass both Houses by respec'a'
bic majorities.

A DARING VoYAGER.-The Havana cores.


A DARING VoYAGER.-The Havana cores
pondent of the Picayune relates the following:
We have had here a short time since the pio-
neer of Isthmus navigation. A small schooner
five and a half tons bnrthen, arrived from your
city on her way to San Francisco. She is called
the Enterprise; was built at Mineral Point,
Iowa, by Benjamin Butler, owner and master.
He conveyed here on wagons 40 milesto Fever
river; rugged her at Galena; descended the Mis-
sissippi; cleared from New Orleans, and is now
on his voyage to the river San Juan, intending
to ascend Lakes Nicaragua and Leon thence
drag her across the portage, fifteen miles, launch
her in the Pacific and proceed to California. The
best authorities here say his project is a feast
Bile one, as the river navigation is easy, and the
road from the lake to the ocean a good one. He
n~avigates without a compass, with a crew Of
one man. When he arrived here there were FIVE
persons on board, but three left her at this port,
The authorities here RENTED the greater part
of his dues in admiration for his undertaking.
We hope that any of our readers who may
know Of his progress will chronicle it. The
mind that conceived, the enterprise that under
took, and the will that bore up this Columbus
is worthy Of honorable mention and merits
success.

CuBA AHD SUGAR CuLrURE.-A very erro-
Rasus impression prevails among the sugar
planters Of Louisiana, says the Delta, that the
Independence. and annexation Of Cuba to the
United States would be detrimental to their
interests. We believe, on the contrary, that
our sugar planters would receive more benefit
from Ahis measure than any other class Of our
people. The acquisition Of Cuba would give
Us the command Of the sugar market in the
whole world. We could dictate prices to for
eign consumers, and extort from them favor
rahlls treaties, which would greatly promote
the interest Of this important production by
increasing the consumption. Louisiana, Texas
and Cuba would then be the producers Of SUI
gar for the whole world. Under q liberal rate
Of duties, the demand for sugar in England
would greatly Increase and new channels would
he opened TO this important article Of consump-
ton. France, too, would abandon the slow,

On Mr.. Calhoun's journey to Washington last
December, he was among others accompanied
by the Hon. Mr.. Hilliard, his excellent wife and
his interesting and most promising son, a youth
Of seventeen years. Yesterday that interesting
youth, accompanied by his bereaved and deeply

They came together and together returned, but

SPAIr.-Morenseuts Of the Spanish Govern
ment relative to Cuba,--The Paris carrespon-
dent Of the London Times, says''
Letters from Madrid, received here this day,
confirm those Of yesterday respecting the un-
e~asiness felt with reference to the Island of Gu
ba. What has occasioned alarm, is the al
legged fact Of the Americans. trying to sound
the feeling Of England o. that point. England
is the only power that could prevent America
from taking possession of Cuba, and it is sta
ted that her objection can be easily removed
by America binding herself to pay all the claims
II England on Spain and putting an end to
the slave trade 80 far as Cuba is concerned.
The payment of the claims is in itself a great
inducement; but IS is stated in the Spanish let
tiers that the other inducements would act SO
powerfully on the anti-slavery party in England
that the British Government could not, even if
II had the will, resiststhe pressure from without
which such an advantage would produce. If you
add "a. this the knowledge that many of the
really influential and wealthy classes in Cuba
would hail with pleasure the separation from
the mother country, you may judge Of the ef-
feet produced.
Another account says:
Lie ACcOuutS Sdiu W NC EcCCiVCu AIOn hiO
Island Of Cuba of an increasing desire there for
separation from Spain, and Of annexation to
the United States, are, it is said, not less dis
couraging. A Spanish paper directly stated
that part of the instructions Of Count Mirasol
were these: that il. after thorough examination
of the state Of Cuba, he found that there was
no probability Of Spain being able to hold that
| island fpr any time, he should offer it for sale
to the u. s., at Washington. We have some
reason for believing that the opinion of some
az the wealthisst and mast influential Of the
Cuba merchants is, that Spain cnnnot hold
the island for more than Ave years longer, and
| it Is probable that the wishes Of the merchant.
themselses are in favor Of . separation
AZ al events, some of them seem convinced
that their incomes would be more than tripplec
Il Cuba became an American possession. Some
