Virginia DistaMced.

According to the census returns of Virginia,
there is still standing army of $4,000 chvalrous
sons of the Old Dominion who cannot read write;
but Virginia, it would seem is obliged notwith-
standing, to knock under to Indiana in the preva-
lence of ignorance. According to the census just
taken in Indiana, there are 175,017 Hoosiers over
81 years of age who are in the same blssful state
if ignorance be bliss-as the $4,000 in Virginia.

General Scott.

The Whig papers in Indiana, almost without
exception have placed at the head oftheir columns,
the name of General Scott as candidate for the
Presidency. The Indiana State Journal, in speak
ing of the proposed nomination By the National
Whig Convention, says that so far as popular SEN
timent in that State is concerned there never be-
fore was such unanimity in the selection of can
didate and if the name of General Scott should be
placed upon the ticket Indiana will certainly give
him her electoral vote

The Great Catholic Cathedral.

The Catholics are contemplating the erection of
a magnificent Cathedral at Washington, estimated
to cost one million of dollars This amount is to
be raised by contributions from all the Catholic
Congregations in the United States and many in
Europe. 1t is expected that the Archi-piscopai
See of Baltimore will, when this cathedral is COM
peted, be transferred to Washington and as the
ARCHBISHOP is to be promoted to the primacy, it is
urged that there is peculiar fitness in making the
national Seat OF Government the place of residence
of the head of the Catholic Church in the United
States. The building, which is to be of marble or
stone, viii be constructed in the richest style of
architecture. with windows of stained glass tow
ering steeple, and immense bell.

TfR ABANDONMENT OF THE Prosecution OF THE
CUBAN INVADERS at New Orleans is thus stated in
detail by the Picayune:
The third trial of Gen. Henderson, charged with
beginning and setting on foot the late expedition
against Cuba, has resulted in another mstrial. 1t
is understood that on this occasion the jury were
divided eleven for acquttal and one for convic-
tion On the second trial they were six to six
on the first trial there were eight for conviction
and four for acquttal The chances for conviction
have TINS diminished with every trial, and it is
very evident that another attempt would result in
another mstrial or an acquital In fact, these fail
ures under such circumstances, are substantially
and morally an acouital, and so the Government
has understood them. On the dismissal OF tnis Ju-
nv, the District Attorney the United States aoan-
doned the prosecution, and has entered no"e
prosequi not only in regard to Gen. Henderson,
but to all the parties under indictment for partt-
cpation in the affair.
This morning, in announcing this, Mr.. Hunter
said that he had been anxiously delberatlng as to
what should be his duty as the prosecution officer
of the court in the contingency which had occur
red. Three juries had been empannelled and three
mistrials had been had. The cases growing out
of the Cuban expedition had SO much attracted the
public attention. that the names of more than one
thousand persons had been drawn before impartial
Jurors could be obtained and under the act OF 1879,
the marshal of the district is limited to the parish
in the summoning of jurors.
| Under these circumstances, said Mr.. Hunter,
even if we should be fortunate enough, after weeks
of labor, to empannel another jury he could not
hope for any other result than fourth mistrial.
| He should, therefore, with the consent of the
court, enter noUe prosequi in the case; and as
he could not adduce any stronger proof against any
of the parties indicted for like offences, IN partlcl
pating in the Cuban expedition, he would enter a
noIle prosequi in every case. Mr.. Benjamin, his
colleague and associate, concurred with Mr.. Hun
ter in the propriety of this course, and accordingly
all the prosecutions are abandoned.
This disposes at once of the cases of Gen. Quit
2 man, Judge Smith, Gems Gonzales, and Lopez,
= Coils Pickett O'Hara and Wheate, Messrs Haw-
l kins and Smith, and Capt. Lewis, the captain OF
the steamer Creole who have been waiting for trial
under these charges, and of large number of 9TH
ers who have been detained here at great cost and
f inconvenience, awaiting the demands of the Gov
ernment as witnesses or parties accused.

The land Of my fathers.
Bright sunny Spain,
Would that thy daughter
Were with thee again.
Though far from thy shore,
Her voice she'll not seal
But sing Of thy grandeur,
Thrice happy CASTLE.
Like a bind who hath wandered
Away from her nest,
Again ! will pillow
My head on thy breast;
But thou hearst me not
Between thee and me
Lies many a league
or the billowy sea.
No home but one
Can be found on the earth.
And however humble,
IT'S the place Of ones birth,
All. may breathe
Thy soft cline again,
And lie meath thy sod,
