REVOLT IN CTBA,

1t is evident that Cuba cannot long re-
main under its present rulers. The news
in another column in relation to the inSur-
rection that has broken out in that beauti-

almost every American citizen. If the
Cubans can only maintain their ground a
few months, and if possible, secure port
on tAe Coast, they will soon have sud-
cent said and comfort" from the United
States, TO enable them to free themselves
from bondage, The government of Spain
cannot hold Cuba if she is true to herself.

OFFER FOR THE SALE OF CUBA.

1t is probably but little known, that un-
der the administration of President Polk,
an offer was made by the Spanish govern
ment at Madrid, through an agent sent To-
Washington, for the sale of the island OF
Cuba. President Polk deemed the price
asked as exorbitant, and thought that it
could be procured for much less sum-
In the meantime the matter leaked out and
created no little sensation among the Dip
donates Of Europe, The Spanish Minister,
of course, denied the truth OF the report,
and our Minister at the Court of Spain,
(Mr. Saunders we Think became some
what involved in the difficulties growing
out of the transaction. We have these

THE SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court is still in session
at this place, and will probably continue
so until thc latter part of next week. The
Judges all appear in fine health and spirits.
AS this will be the last session that will be
held at this place, by the present Bench,
we cannot let the subject pass without
some comment. Judges, Gibson and Ro-
gers, have been for many years, annual
vis!ants to this place. During the long
period of their Judicial career they have
freely commingled with our citizens, and
those of the neighboring counties in the
district, when business called them before
the Court. We know we speak but the
common sentiments of all, when we say
that these associations will not be severed
without regret. Judges, Coulter and Bell,
have not been upon the Bench SO long, but
long enough to acquire the esteem of all
who have had any intercourse with them,
professionally or otherwise. Judge Cham
bers has been but recently appoipted, and
has thus far given general satiSfaction.-
Some of the Judges who are candidates,
will no doubt be elected. Those who re-
tire will carry with them the best wishes
Of our citizens for their future welfare and
happiness.
