H We see it stated in several Southern
papers that HENRY LONG, the fugitive that was
recovered in New York at 80 much expense, has
been preaching iusurrection to the slaves where
he was finally taken.
The position which we originally assumed
that the Fugitive slave question was insoluble,
has been confirmed by succession of events
that must stagger the most obstinate and infat-
uated. If it we're not one Of the direst Of mis-
chiefs, It would be the most solemn Of farces for
fbgitives to be recovered, only after enormous
lhigstion, delay, and expense, and after mani
festations cfsympathy that render them the most
effective incssdiaries The cases of recovery

The social, political, and geographical position
Of Cuba have complicated her destiny beyond
that Of any other community. She is situated
near the white aud free negro isIsnds the French
and English West Indies, Hayti, and the slave
holding States Of the Union. Her commerce
and wealth are standing sarcasm on the policy
OF England and France, which has ruined their
neighboring possessions. She il the vanguard
OF African slavery. Her interest and position
dictate connection with the United States but
France and England are naturally hostile to
American acquisition, especially in their own
direction and neighborhood. Hence, they be-
come the allies of the Spanish government ia
holding her in subsection: whilst the people of
the Southern States are friendly to the cause of
the Cuban people, England and France are in
favor not only of maintaining the Spanish au-
thority, but Of emnncipating the slaves of Cuba
This state of things imposes great responsible
~ on the American government. And if our
government were impartial, were as favorable to
Southern interests as Northern, it would oppose
an infexible resistance to the emancipation pol
Icy OF those European powers. 1t would also
forbid their Intervention in behalf Of the Spanish
government in any controversy with the people
of the Island. If those governments interfere
in any way to support that of Spain against the
people of Cuba, they cannot complain II the gov
ernment of the United States or the people in
terfere on the other side.
The true solution of the difficulty is for Cubn
to be purchased by the United States, provided
the Cubans desire it. Whilst that Island re-
mains in its present condition, the cost of re.
tanning it in subjection to Spain, will amount to
as much as its revenue, enormous rs that is
Whereas, if Spain would consent to take lib
eral price for it, she would extricate herself at
once from her financial difficulties.
But the position of Cuba involves her in the
destiny of Africo-American slavery, and we will
zee whether it is 10 receive another blow from
European Intervention and federal hostility
When that attempt is made. the Northwestern
States will probably act different part from the
one they permitted themselves to play in the
last Congress.

The editor of the Washington Southern Press
insists that his arguments against the compro-
mise have caused the Northern party to come
out in favor Of it. Nothing more likely. That
editor has most extraordinary talent at convert

But the Northern and Southern friends of the

their own section. They thus prove themselves
dupes or hypocrites. When Northern and

Hard Case.-A young deIicats girl not over 6f-
teen years Of age, possessing much beauty, was
picked up quite insensibie yesterday morning in
vacant lotion Third street, between Park and Smith
She was conveyed to house on John street, whsrs
consciousness returned upon application Of proper
restoratives. Her story exposed another Of those
numerous transactions Of villainy and foul. de-
ception which plunge into disgrace and lasting
misery the inexperienced and 100 confdins female.
She stated that she was the only daughter OF
wealthy farmer residing near A., in the
Northern part of this state. Becoming acquainted
with young man named Burt, CANADIAN, he
persuaded and she left the paternaI roof in his
company. With womanly trust she came with
him to this city, and put up at an obscurs house
on Western Row. Here. after drinking some
ting given her by Burt, she fell into profound
stupor, from which she woke as above under the
care of strangers, in a strange place. Upon being
informed Of the place where she was found, she
started as if from dream, and uttering loud
cry of mental agony gave way to food Of tears
followed by convulsive sobs. Search was made
for the wretch Burt, until late hour yesterday,
but without success. The unhappy lady, whose
name we of course withhold, was sent oF ysafer-
day evening by the cars, to her frisnds and re-
latives.-Cin. Gazette. l5 81.

REMARKABLE PREsERvArIoN.-A remarkable
instance of recovery from the effects ofightning is
related in Brdgeton Chronicle, as having occurred
lately, near EstIeville, in Atlantic county. Mr..
Samuel Evans, with team OF mules, was in the
woods, and while hauling out log preparatory 10
loading from under large tree, he was sEuck
down, with his four mules, by an electric shock
He did not loose his consciousness, but he va.
wholly unable to move hand or foot. and h;s
mules were IN the same helpless condition. A6er
remaining in this state for about Is minutes, vita-
ty returned, first in the forefneer and thumb am
one hand enabling him to rub them toeethsr.
Fearing the mules might recover tefore he eould
get rom among them, and in their struggles in
jure hun, he worked his fingers, and by slow de-
gees reganed the use of his hand, then his arm.
O., when by great exertiou he drasged himself
out OF the reach Of the mules heels. The nulss
gradually recovered also, and he got them upon
their feet. A bright red line marked his arms
and down his chest and legs He felt sore for
some days after the occurrence There wasa
cloudless sky at the time, and no indication Of
lightning or rain. The tree was completely shiv-
cred to spnters. s.--.Ns,cark .8do., F'Iday.

Mrs. SwIssHELM on MARRlAGT.-Mrs.
Swisshelm has, in the course other edit
orial career said many wise and pthy
things; but there are none, perhaps, in
which the whole community will more
heartily concur than in the extract be-
low, which we copy from her paper.-
Mrs. S. is fine writer, and has happy
way ofsaying things which every one does
not possess, Whether our lady friends
will confess that she has told the truth
as far as they are concerned is not so
clear, as for ourselves, however, we blush
and own the soft impeachment"
"Many are of,he opinion that if it were
not for the stringency of the civil law,
nearly all families would be broken up
apd society so into chaos. We have no
such notion. If proclamation were
made 10 day declaring every marriage in
the Union null and void and leaving il
once more TO the choice of the parties
whether the relation be renewed, bust
ness would be suspended, newspapers
would stop, stores, factories and work
shops would close. The editors would
be all at home getting married, merchants,
operative and mechanics would each be
waiting their turn 10 have tbe nuptial
knot re-tied. Cross, fretful, sickly wives,
that had been almost felt burden before,
would grow very dear at the thought Of
separation. Domineering, harsh hus.
bands would be forgives; and in all places
where spark Of conjugal love remained,
il would be blown TO fame; where
nothing but dead embest and the ashes
remained they could be taken up made
into soap, and society cleansed thereby.

BEN BOLT.

Oh don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt,
Sweet Alice with hair SO brown,
She blushed with delight when you givo her smile
And trembled with fear at your frown.
In the old chhrch.yard In the valley, Ben Bolt,
In corner obscure and alone,
They have reared slab OF granite SO gray,
And sweet Alice lies under the stone.
Oh don't you remember the woods, Ben Bolt,
On the green summer slope the bill;
where of have meath its wide spreading shade
And kept time with the click OF the mill.
But the mill has gone to decay, Ben Bolt,
And quiet now reigns all around,
And the old rusty porch with Its roses so sweet,
Lies scattered and fallen to the ground.
Oh don't you remember the master, Ben Bolt,
Tho master SO kind and so true,
And the little nook by the clear summer brook
Where we gathered the flowers as they grew,
On the masters grave grows the grass, Ben Bolt,
And the little brook is now day.

of this affection, the muscles Of the voice
before those which are implicated in the
movement of rising and walking; and it is
worthy Of notice that the muscles, upon
which the voice is dependent, are very
numerous and exquisiely delicate; the
result of which is, that they are affected
BY all mental emotions. Hence, the tones
ofthe voice truly indicate the character
Of certain passions and feelings, for which
reason, on the stage, the ntonation given
by the actor, whether it be the distressed
cry of a Belvidera, or the pathetic sing
ing ofan Ophelia, will carry along the
sympathies Of the audience, albeit, The
exact words may not be understood. A
particular tone of voice causes, without
reference to words, corresponding feel.
ing, just as the vibration of one instrumen,
will harmonize with the vibration of
another; but this is not all, the voice is
the first organ which is affected by any
excitement of the brain. 1t betrays the
wine-bibber having drunk TO excess while
he is yet perfectly rational; il is, therefore
by no means surprising that persons in
their sleep when excited by dreams, should
moan, mutter, or even speak articurately.
In this state, The mind seems 10 struggle,
in its connection with the body, TO give
utterance to its emotions; and it is rea-
sonable TO believe the greater the intensi.
ty of the dream.conception, the clearer
will be the articulation of the voice, and
the greater, also, the precision OF the SOM
nambulic movements. Hence, apparently,
it is only in very profound sleep that per-
sons will rise, dress themselves, walk
about, &C., while, in less profound sleep,
their vivid dreams only agitate and make
them restless. One of the most interes-
ting, and indeed affecting cases on record
is that of Laura Bridgman, who, at very
early age, was afflicted with an inhama-
tory disease, which ended in the disor-
ganization and loss of the contents OF
her eyes and ears; in consequence of
which calamity she grew up blind, deaf
and dumb. Now, it is quite certain that
persons who have once enjoyed the use
Of their senses, and then lost them, have
very vivid dreams, in which they recall
the impressions of their earliest infancy.
So was it with the blind poet DIR. Black.

man, and it is very interesting fact that
she, being unable to speak, when asleep
used the finger alphabet. This she did
sometimes in very confused manner,
the irregularity Of her finger signs cores
ponding withsthat defective articulation
which persons give utterance TO, when
they murmur and mutter indistinctly
their dream impressions. 1t was, be it
observed, when she was disturbed in her
sleep that she ran over her finger alpha
bet confusedly, like one who, playing on
4 stringed instrument, has not the atten-
lion sufficiently fixed TO give precision
md expression TO the performance. The
Minstrel described by Sir Waller Scott,
with his fingers wandering wildly through
he strings of his harp, resembles poor
Laura giving utterance, thus imporfeclly,
10 her bewildered dreams.
