A population mainly devoted to agriculture, with
fertile soil like ours, raise much more than il
can eat. What is to become Of the surplus
What do the advocates of free trade propose to do
with it Will they enlighten us We have a
perfect plethora Of agricultural produce now.
Europe does not want our surplus, and will not
take it, except in years Of famine. They only buy
of us to make up the deficiency Of their own crop,
which, in ordinary years, takes but little. Wesee
but one remedy for this state Of things and that is
for some Of our people to quit raising wheat and 60
to producing something which the farmer wants in
exchange for his, and become consumers. That
we are to have no steady grain and meat market
abroad worth mentioning is clear, and unless we
open one at home we shall have to do without any.
Then, though cloths are marvellous cheap, the
farmer can neither swap his produce for them, nor
for much, if any thing, to buy them with.

The worst influence which the Faculty Of Col
lege can exert upon young minds is to encourage
them to plunge in the intoxicating waters of political
strife. They will imbibe its passions, jealousies,
and prejudices soon enough-too soon for their
happiness and interests-without being stimulated
to it by those to whom they look for guidance and
instruction.
But Of all politics those are the most unnatural
and detestable which tend to infame the young
mind against its country. The purest patriotism
is generally found in youthful breasts. The young
heart looks to its country to its mother to whom
it owes nurture, shelter, protection, and every
earthly good. cruel and tyranncal Government
will ALLEVIATE even the affections of the young and
rouse them to resistance. But when we see them
'infamed against good and parental Government,
one whose influence has only been felt in kindness
and love; to whom they owe liberty, law, equal
ity, freedom Of religion, honor, peace and plenty
when we see them urged to hate, revile, and draw
the sword against such Government we cannot
but feel degree Of horror akin to that which we
should entertain for a child who would array him
self against parent, and plunge dagger into the
breast upon which he hung in infancy.

REPORTED INsURRECTION IN CUBA.

REPORTED INSURRECTION IN CUBA.
The most reliable of the New York Presses do
not appear to place any confidence in the report
ia Telegraphic account of which we published yes
terday) Of serious insurrectionary movement
having taken place in the Island of Cuba. The
Commercial Advertiser of Tuesday evening speaks
of the rumor as follows:
Some vague and contradictory intelligence from Havana
has thrown at least one Of morning contemporaries into
large letter excitement Readers will probably remember
that about ten days ago published statement to the effect
that Of certain parties liable to arrest o conspiracy at Puerto
Principe abou. twenty had fed to the mountains where they
found secu.y supplied with provisions from the town,
had beenoned by few others in like danger of arrest and
that an as.opt Of the authorities reach and capture them
had failed We apprehend carefully weighing all the state
ents that these the simple facts which have been mag
nifed into revolution the first blow struck former news
confirmed revolt Of the Prncpanos, troops driven back
with much Of the II is rather too bad this
hot weather"
In confirmation Of the above we received last
night, by way Of Savannah, advices from Havana
to the 18th instant, which pronounce the report Of
an insurrection at Principe to have been sheer
fabrication. It at first created some excitement at
Havana, but it soon subsidized.
