THE INVASION OF CUBA.

II Information has, we understand, been receiven
this city that the parties heretofore engaged inle
Enterprise against the Island of Cuba have notst
abandoned their criminal intentions, but threm
that they will renew the attempt few mons
hence. II is said that some hundreds of the
who have been engaged for the purpose are tos
sent to Cuba during the summer in small numbe.
by different vessels, as mechanics seeking emplo
ment on the Island in their respective profession
but who will secretly provide themselves with arm
and be prepared in body to join any armed e.,
petition which may succeed in landing.
1t is really melancholy to think that there is an
portion Of the people of the United States who vii
willingly join in or aid such reckless and unprinc
pied proceedings. As to the deluded men who ar,
thus made the tools Of designing persons, they
should recollect that the Spanish authorities are d
course constantly and fully advised of all sucl
movements; that the most vigilant lookout will b
kept upon all strangers coming into the Island pa
ticularly when an unusual number arrive from TIL
United States without any ostensible object in tn
way of business; and if they are not immediatel
ordered out of the Island, they would no doubt +
the first victims sacrificed in case of an attempte
invasion.
The utter heartlessness Of the leaders of this d.
reputable enterprise is fully exhibited in thus sem
ing into such imminent jeopardy of liberty or LID
the poor ignorant men whom they have deceived
by false representations and snecious pro1ses,
which are never intended to be, aid which cannot
be, fulfilled.
A successful invasion Of Cuba H a private ex-
pedtion we look upon as one Of tn mosf hopeless
Of all undertakings. Not only puld our own
Government exercise the utmost yiance to break
up and frustrate any attempt of th&ind, either by
the arrest Of the parties and the eizure of their
vessels before leaving the UnitedStates, or their
capture on the ocean by American ,uisers, but the
Spanish Government has such numerous and
powerful steam and sailing naval fore on the coast of
Cuba as to render any private expliton entirely
inadequate to cope withit. So that.would be next
to, if not quite, impossible to effect landing.
Were the landing, however, eve effected, the
Overwhelmingly large military forcen the Island
would render death or capture intitable to all
those engaged, and all who should faLnto the pow
er Of the Spanish Government coul only expect
an ignominious death, without the rpt or expecta-
ton to call upon their own Governmes for its inter-
ference in their favor. In the last tempt, when
the landing was effected at Cardenasao men could
have fought more bravely or faithfully than did the
Spanish citizens and troops at that pie: and they
fully disproved the silly reports excessively cir
culated Of widespread treason amor the latter,
and discomfort and desire Of change along the for
mer. Let those who may thoughtesly or in the
spirit Of adventure be disposed to joi in such an
enterprise, be convinced that such repcts mere
ly one of the means adopted to lure lem to their
ruin.

What you can see at the Gold

Daniel M Coy, formerly of Elkheart coun-
ty, Indiana, writes the editor of the Goshen
Democrat, in which he gives the following
description of the state of society in Calfor-
MIA: i
If you want to see the community where
gamblers and black-legs have the first place
in society, come to the gold mines. If you
want to see men desert their best friends and
even brothers, when disease and even death
is preying upon them, come to the gold mines.
If you want to see the most noted scoundrels
in existence, who formerly were preachers
and exorters, of some denomination, come
to the gold mines. If you want to see the
place where the most poisoned liquors are
drank, of any other on Gods foot-stool. come
to the gold mines. If you want to see the
place where gambling, drinking, carousing
and swearing take the place of social and
religious meetings, come to the gold mines.
Ifyou want to see the place where boys are
brought up at the gaming table, come to the
gold mines. If you want to see the place
where men fear neither God, man nor the
devil, come to the gold mines. If you want
to see men who care nothing for themselves
and less for others, come to the gold mines.

Extravagant Churches.

The authorities of Trinity Church, New
York, have decided to erect another church
in that city, at the cost of 81 100000.
Eighteen and half centuries ago, wan
derer was seen in the East, who required
no particular fornsEor worship--no particu-
laredifces built of the sweat and blood of
the poor-to be dedicated to him or by
him. He was old-Fery old-he did not
follow the fashions Of his times-did not
cringe at the foot of power, but made him
self obnoctious to Kings and Princes, because
he preached unpopular doctrines. He was
poor and lowly and was not deemed worthy
to enter the temple of the rich and fashiona-
BILE. The poor are now denied the privilege
of entering Trinity Church; and were he to
appear in his humble garb, unknown and
without an admission card, be would be G.
jected from the present and prospective
haunts of the merchant princes of Gotham.
Men women and children have starved to
death within reach of the shadows of Trini-
ty Steeple. Thousands are now toiling and
dying by inches, in part for these same
temple builders, who pretended to be wor-
shippers of him who said of himself, the fox
es have holes, and the birds of the air have
nests, but the son of man hath not where to
lay his head
The princes and Judges Of old bowed to
the voice of the multitude, and gave up this
troublesome person to be killed according to
the customs of the times. They thought his
seditious doctrines would die.-One of his
greatestheresies was,that preaching glad ii
dings to the poor, a hercsy BY theway, which
there is no danger Of the preachers of Trini-
ty Church or their congregation being hung
for, unless they very materially change their
course. The doctrines of the peasant of
Nazareth-the carpenters son, have, at this
distant day, made some progress in the
world, but we rather think that were he to
look in upon congregation worshipng in a
church whose cost is million of dollars, and
on the preacher whose salary is six thousand
year, he would point to the poor, ignorant,
starving creatures around the church and
say, "ln the persons ofthese poor and needy
children, i was an hungered and We gave
me no meat, | was thirsty and yc gave me
no drink, was sick and in prison and ye
