Annexation OF Cuba.

The recent excitement IN regard to Cuba has drawn
public attention to that quarter, and although the
miserable affair, mis-namcd "expedition has
failed might have been expected still the belief
has taken possession of all rejecting minds, that
the days Of Spanish supremacy numbered. The
Island must eventually pass out of the hands of its
present rulers 1t is not powerful enough to main
tain Independent national existence, and must in
evitably become a dependency of some European
maritime power, be annexed to the United States
Whatever the ''powers that be- may be disposed to
do in the premises. it is plain that the people of
this country will permit Cuba to fall into the
hands of Great Britain. That may be regarded a
fixed fact 1t is necessary for safety, and the
safety of our commerce in the Gulf that in the event
of Cuba passing out of the hands of Spain, it should
fall into Public opinion, always far ahead of
legislation now looks forward tothe annexation
of Cuba as the next great movement in our national
progress and although its occurrence may be delay
ed accelerated by unforeseen contingencies it is
certain to take place as any other event which
depends upon the future for its fulfllment Even
the Spanards themselves begin to feel this, and will
become and sensible of the fact every day
The benefits to be derived from the possession of
Cuba are neither insignificant doubtful. The
trade of the Island amounts to over sixty mill
ions of dollars annually large amount OF her pro-
ducts such sugar molasses and coffee, are expor-
ted to the United States, while the Spanish tariff
laws prevent the importation of American -four, pro-
Visions &C.. thus deprivng our farmers ola market:
and forcing the Cubans to pay twice as much as
they otherwise would. The reciprocal advantages
which must flow from the measure, commend it to
the attention of legislators; and we should not
be surprised to hear of motion being introduced in
to one or both Houses of Congress- requesting the
President to open negotiations for the purchase OF
Cuba 1t is said that the British hold mortgage
on some Of the revenues of the Island to the amount
OF twelve millions or poundo but th;o 10 n'nt+o- of
no manner of Importance. The same thing was said
about California, but have never heard word OF
it since the acquisition of that territory 1t s also
probable, that the proposition for bringing in Cuba
would meet with very opposition from the free
socrs but we believe the majority of the Northern
and especially the Western men, considering the
I profitable market which it would open to them, ant
4 different light, and bolt her. if she had ten times a
II many negroes. We hardly think that the idea o
purchasing Cuba will be seriously entertained by tn
present Congress- but we regard it nearly certain
II that let Congress do as it may, the time is not ia
" distant when fugitives from justice will longe
u escape from the United States to Havana but tn
II star-spangled banner float from the Moro Castle
III and the Gulf of Mexico become what it should b.
sN and will bean American lake.

The Co,npromIse BIZ.

No progress has as yet been made with this bill,
nor is it easy to oresee when there WILDE any The
discussion still continues in the Senate and is ably
maintained upon both sides. The friends of the
measure feel confident Of its success, and do its
opponents of its defeat In the meantime it is be-
lieved that the Free Sellers and admnistrationists
will make an attempt to pass the Presidents plan
through the House before the Compromise bill can
legitimately reach that body from the Senate. This
Presidents plan. as it is we'll known, consists
of the admission of California with all the territory
she claims and--nothimg more ; leaving all the 9TH
er questions open hobby for future Presiden-
tial campaign. Of course, this naked admission of
California by herself and unaccompanied by any
other measures for the settlement of the existing DIFF
fculties, will be opposed by the whole South, and
lead to of most painful character. such as
already have been witnessed upon the floor of the
House, when the Southern minority: taking shelter
under the established rules, prevented any action
whatever. No doubt similar legislative expedients
will be again resortcd to- to prevent the enactment
of any such tyrannica and oppressive measure, and
with the effect of producing feeling of mutual dis
trust and evaporation of most alarming and dam
gerous character. The only possible recommends
ton mitigation that this non-action policy of
fer to the South lies in the fact that it does not
terere with the boundary of Texas and consequent
ly leaves nearly all the territory of New Mexico
der the nominal government of the slave State of Tex
The orders of the President to the U. S. troops
stationed in Santa Fe are not to interfere in of
any disturbance between the Texan authorities claim
ing jurisdiction New Mexico and the people that
territory, so that now there is very pretty lit
tie fight about and considerable ill-feeng existing.
1t is perfectly plain that or later New Mexico
must separate from Texas, and think it about as
well to separate friends wait until they become
enemies. 1t does not seem likely that Texas can
enforce her jurisdiction New Mexico without
the assistance of the United States and this assis-
lance the President has refused to grant But, as
we said before this is matter for Texas herself and
that clause in the compromise bill is only PROPOSE
ton.
There is another thing that should induce South
ern men to urge forward settlement of these mat
tiers. The bill has been passed. and the next
Congress will be chosen under apportionment,
which will not be so favorable to the South, the
Northern section has gained upon considerably, in
point of population during the ten years since the
last census

fact, that the County Convention will assemble in

hardly necessary to urge upon them the Importance

held and delegates appointed from every Captains
District in the County. So far fear that COM
paravely few districts have moved in this matter.

essential to the promotion of harmony and good feel
ing that there should be full representation, and
that concert of action should be secured

Another Fire.


About half past two o'clock this morning, another
alarm of fire aroused our citizens from their slum-
bers.
The fire commenced, we believe, in some out-build-
ings in the yard between the stores Market and
on Hayne streets. At the time reached the spot,
the flames had full possession of the store No on
Hayne street, occupied by TANNING TwEEDY & Co.,
and before we left Ga quarter past - had communi-
Gated to No. and THE former occupied by KEEL
sEY s. IDEAS, and the latter by Messrs GILLrLAND,
HOWELL & Son.
| The engines were promptly at work, and at the
time we write, there is every reasonable prospect
that not more than these three stores will fall prey
to the flames 1t is uncertain whether these will be
totally destroyed, while it is possible that Of
the adjoining stores of this noble block may be in
volved in the destruction
Four oclocK-We are panied to say that our an
ticipations that the fire would not extend not
realized We learn that it has extended to the east
and west, No. 4, occupied by HARRAL, HARE & Co..
and No. being now enveloped in fames and the
lower part of the Charleston Hotel fronting Hayne
street, has also taken fire.
At the time we go to press o'clock, fears are en-
tertaned that the hotel and the entire block of brick
stores on Hayne st. will be destroyed.
