HARD LANGUAoE.--Men. who will not fight
should try to use that kind Of speech that
"turneth away wrath; = but the editor of the
New York Tribune does not think this In con-
tradicting the cypress, yesterday, he says:
"Neighborl you are addicted to falsehood on
very slight temptations, but this is SO scanda-
lous. baseless, abominable lie, that we cannot
suffer It to pass unreproved. Remember that
we brand it on your forehead as q base, black,
wanton, calumnious falsehood, and charge you
with knowing it to be such when you uttered
it. win you attempt to justify it."

THE New JERSEY BANK ExcITEaEST.-A let
ter in the Herald states that the failure of the
Peoples Bank" in New Jersey, which has of
course swindled a given number of operatives
in the neighborhood of Paterson, has produced
considerable excitement in that community.
About three thousand persons assembled on the
26th inst in front of the bank and passed q reso-
luton requesting the Chancellor to appoint two
receivers whom the people had confidence in
They then adjourned to the residence of the
Cashier, and burnt him in efigy. From thence
they went to the residence of the President, and
paid him like compliment; thence to Mr.. James
Jacksons, q director, and honored him likewise
with the same compliment, and then adjourned
quietly to their homes The account says:
"The President, David Burnett, is an elder Of
the LIST Presbyterian Church; the Cashier, II. G.
Stimson, is head man in the Second Presbyte-
rian Church, and Director jackson is q class
leader Of the Methodist Church"
In giving the religious character Of these
men, the writer omits to- say whether it is for
the purpose Of explaining why they failed, or
making it appear wonderful that they should
fail. Perhaps, as religious man, he submits
the fact as a curious one.

DEMOCRATS OF New York CITy.-The Herald,
of yesterday, states that on Monday evening
the Democrats held meeting in Tammany Hall
for the purpose of endorsing the resolutions
adopted, and the candidates nominated, by the
Democratic State Convention at Syracuse. 1t
was very harmonious and enthusiastic. The
factions, which heretofore were 80 hostile to
each other, met together on the same platform,
and were as friendly as if they never had any
disagreement.

European Negotiations concerning

Cuba.
The Iatelligeacer of this morning says: "The
Geographic dispatches sent from London to
Liverpool, on the eve of departure of the Amer
lean mail steamer Baltic, just arrived at New
York, announce somewhat confidently that me-
gotiatons have been opened between Spain,
England and France, which are likely to result
in treaty, the object of which will be to pre-
serve Cuba to Spain, with some such modihca-
tions of her government as were mentioned IN
paragraph published in this paper last week
A few days will solve the question"
This is very grave subject, and worthy the
serious attention of our Government We were
very unfortunate in having a representative at
Cuba unsuited for his station; and although we
entertain no unknd feelings towards Mr.. Bar
ringer, our Minister at Madrid, we are con-
strained to say that we do not think diplomacy
is his forte, but that we feel assured he is en-
tirely unsuited to the duties now devolving
upon him. Would it were otherwise.

CLARKE Mills STATUE OF JAcKsoN.-The
Charleston Mercury, in announcing that the
equestrian statue Of General Jackson is rapidly
approaching completion, and will probably be
ready for elevation.on its pedestal by the first
of January next, says:
"Although not born in this city, Mr.. Mills
has resided among us since his childhood, and
looks upon it as his home, as his amiable lady
and four interesting children still continue to
live among US. Charleston may, therefore, be
excused in feeling lively qualification at the
success of his labors, which have placed him
in the front rank of sculptors, and given him.
at the early age of thirty eight, o reputation
usually attained, even by the most fortunate
only after long life of toll and application
8The statue of Jackson is Of colossal dimen-
sions, and is remarkable in its being self-poised
on the hind feet of the horse, differing in this
respect from all the equestrian statues of for
mer artists, which have been made to keep their
position by accessories that, in some degree,
offend the eye of the spectator.
"The statue of jackson, though the most re-
is far from being the only proof Mr.
Mills has given of high and original genius,
and a long future of fame and fortune seems
now to have opened before him, which it will
be his own fault if he does not realize"

| The WHEELING BRIDGE.-The Importance of
the ong-contested Wheeling Bridge Case /" is
but little understood throughout the country.
A writer in the Philadelphia Ledger thus ex-
plains it:
"Four railroads are in progress through the
State Of Ohio, which, in the course of two
years, or less, will meet together on the west
bank of the Ohio river, at Wheeling. The first
and most important of these four roads is the
Central Road Of Ohio, which forms part of the
great line from st. Louis to Philadelphia Tie
second, in commercial value, is the Cincinnati
and Marietta road, which is intended to draw
the trade of southern Ohio and Kentucky to
Wheeling, to pass thence by the Hempfed road
to Philadelphia. The third is the Cleveland and
Wellsville road-a line running in a direct
course from Cleveland, on Lake Erie, to the
Ohio river, five miles below Wellsville-which
will shortly be continued on thirty-six miles
further to Wheeling. The fourth is the Steu-
benville and Indiana road, which will pass
through Coshocton, and strike the Ohio river
between Wheeling and Steubenville.
"The trade Of these four lines of railroads
will thus be concentrated at Wheeling. The
Hempfeld railroad, starting at Wheeling, where
these four western lines come together, will
bring forward the trade and travel which they
bear, to the Pennsylvania railroad at Greens
burg. al this trade and traUeL must cross tie
Ohio on the Wheeling bridge, which was originally
constructed with view to its adaptation to this
great duty. Now, it will he recollected that,
for the purpose of preventing the trade of Phil
adelphia from crossing the Ohio at Wheeling,
and forcing all the western business of this city
through Pittsburg, suit has been instituted in
the name Of the State of Pennsylvania, under
the sanction of the Legislature, for the over
throw of that bridge. If this suit should pre-
vail then Philadelphia must rely on ferries to
get her trade and travel over the 0hio-or, as
an alternative, go round the great northern bend
of the Ohio, through Pittsburg. She must sus-
tain this bridge, get all the trade of the West
and Southwest which she can then command,
through Pittsburg, and Pittsburg only"

General scott,s Letter

The New York Times states that some few
months since gentleman of Pennsylvania, at
the request of eight members of the State Sem
ate, wrote letter to Gen. WINFIELD ScoTT,
addressing him as the undoubted Wing candi-
date for the Presidency, and requesting his
opinions upon the various political questions
which have agitated the country.
General Scott wrote the following quaint re-
ply:
WASHINGTON, March %, 1851.
| SIR: / have received your letter, (marked
" confidential, " in which, after committing the
error of supposing me to be "fully before the
country as the Wing candidate for the Presi-
dency," you proceed to interrogate me on many
points of grave public interest.
| Permit me to say that, considering we shall
probably only have Wing candidate for the
Presidency through National Convention, and
that cannot be its nominee except by the force
Of the unsolicited partiality Of large masses OF
my countrymen:
Considering, also, that If my character OF
principles be not already known, it would nov
be idle to attempt to supply the deficient infor
nation by mere paper professions Of wisdom
and virtue, made for the occasion:
n And considering that, if | answer your que
ries, | must go on and answer others alread,
before me, as well as the long series that woult
inevitably follow, to the disgust of the public
/ will beg permission to close this acknowl
edgment of your letter by subscribing myself,
With great respect, your obedient servant,
WINFIELD ScoTT.
