The Cuba Documents.

The important public document containing
the negotiations respecting the Island of Cuba,
recently made public by President Fillmore, is
too voluminous for publication in our columns
The correspondence of the government of the
United States with Spanish dplomatists COM
menced in 1922 and closed in I948
1t is a singular fact that the strongest evil
dence of" fillibusterism, the odium applied to
the democrats by the wings, furnished in this
correspondence, was evinced by Hon. JOHN
Quincy ADAMS, in an elaborate and mastery
paper dated April %, 1923, embodying the in
instructions of the government under Mr. Mon
roe, of which Mr.. Adams was Secretary of
State, to the American Minister at the Court
of Spain. The policy of the annexation of Gu
ba was started then and by Mr.. Adams He
veniured 10 use the following language:-
But the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico still
remain nomlnally, and so far really dependent
upon her, that she yet possesses the power of
transferring her own dominion over them, To-
gelher with the possession of them, to Others
These islands, from their local position and
natural appendages TO the North American
continent, and one of them, Cuba, almost in
sight of our shores, from multitude of consd-
eralions, has become an object of transcendant
Importance 10 the commercial and political in
terests of our Union. It's commanding position
with reference TO the Gulf of Mexico and the
West India seas; the character of its popula-
ZION; its situation midway between our south
ern coast and the island of ST. Domingo; its safe
and capacious harbor of the Havana, fronting a
long line of our shores destitute of the same ad-
vantage; the nature of lis productions and its
wants, furnishing the supplies and needing the
returns of commerce immensely profitable and
mutually benefcial-give it an Importance in
the sum of Cur national interests with which
that of no other foreign territory can be COM
pared and little inferior to that which binds the
different members of this Union together
Such, indeed, are, between the interests of that
| island and of this country, the geographical.
commercial, moral and political relations, form
ed by Nature, gathering in the process of time,
and even now verging TO maturity, that, in
looking forward 10 the probable course of events
for the short period of half century, it is
scarcely possible 10 resist the conviction that
the annexation of Cuba 10 our federal republic
will be indispensable to the continuance and in
tegrity Of the Union ITSELF

The President Elect.

We have noticed in the papers various re-
ports in relation to the intentions of General
Pierce, respecting the occupation of his time
and his location, in the interval preceding in
anguralion. One report is that he intended
spending the winter with his family at Ports
mouth. Another, that he contemplates Jour
ney TO the Sonth. These reports, we are glad
to perceive, are set to rest by the following ex-
tract from letter of correspondent of the
Boston Post, dated Concord, Nov 9th:
Gen. Pierce has taken beautiful suit of
rooms at Gibsons new eagle Hotel" where
he appears glad to see his friends, except when
they come with personal applications for Office
1t is said that he will feel himself under the ne
cessiiy of postponng the special consideration
of all appointments TO Office, except for cabinet
places, until after his inauguration, and has SO
expressed himself to applicants. Gen. P. will
not leave town, except for temporary absence
of perhaps day or two, until after the first OF
February. Those newspapers which assign to
him variety of different intentions can depend
on this. He is comfortably qnarlered for The
winter season in our new " crack hotel" Ito

RACE BETWEEN A LOCOMOTIVE AND FLOCK
OF GEESE. The Rochester American has the
following incident: Coming up on the ex-
press train the other day, ii So happened that
on leaving Fonda, a flock of some thirty wild
geese swept over into the valley of the Mo-
hawk, Just as the cars were under way
These geese being manifeslly bewildered, kept
on steadily up the river, but well over on the
opposite side of the valley, hence good
chance TO compare their speed with the light
ming train was afforded. At first it seemed
to be about an 'even thing, but after a few
moments it was readily perceivable that the
geese were drawing ahead of the locomotive
After few minutes, the flock seemed half in
clined 10 drop down into the Mohawk, and
abated much Of their speed-the engine recov-
erlng the lost ground but the geese thought
better of it, changed front, sought a greater
elevation, and pushed ahead again in the same
direction of the train. By this time the race
became quite exciting, and one could hardly
refrain from exclaiming, go, engine; pair in
goose, but there was no need of exhortation,
as both seemed letting out about all they knew
the geese gradually drawing ahead till with
in a short distance of Little Falls, when the
bevy hauled up in the winds eye, shiyered q
moment, and stood down the river again, hav-
ing gained in the race about two miles. The
geese must have been going, when last seen,
at the rate of sixty or seventy miles the hour.
This is the first race we have seen between a
locomotive and the fealhered race, and though
the latter had the best Of il, the former did
well, considering that it was compelled 10 car
ry weight.

The Gardiner Bridge.

1t cannot be that the residents on the upper
Kennebec will quietly allow the bridge now i'll
progress of construction across the river at
Gardiner, to be completed without an effort in
defence of their interest. Are the citizens OF
Augusta and Hallowell asleep! If the navi-
cation of the river is of any value TO them, an
effort in the right quarter for its continuation
and preservation, seems to be called for imme-
diately. --s-ss-s----
This bridge is to be completed next Spring.
A portion of the piling has been driven, and
the workmen are now engaged In sinking one
of the piers. If the work can be stopped be-
fore completion, and the obstacle shall be fair
ly established, no proper measure should be
left untried TO effect it. We know nothing OF
the prospect of obtaining an injunction; but
it appears that the decision in the Wheeling
bridge case furnishes an example from which
the opposers of this bridge have much to ex-
pect. The location of the U. S. Arsenal at
Augusta, will have much weight in favor of
an injunction. 1t is stated that the proprletors
ofthe Steamer Ocean have declared their in
tention not to run the steamer above Gardiner
on the completion of the bridge, as they are
not willing TO run the risk of detention and
wreck in passing a narrow draw. In the case
of the Wheeling bridge, all kinds of navigation
could pass under the bridge, excepting two or
three large steamers, and they were rendered
incapable of passing on account of the length
ening out of their smoke pipes after the bridge
acaS bull. The question was upon any Obstruc-
lion TO navigation, and was thus decided
against the bridge.
The citizens of Augusta aud Hallowell pos
sess as much right to free river as the ciii-
zens of Gardiner and Bath. If Gardiner has
right to bridge over the Kennebec to Pittston,
we have a right to bridge it over TO Wool
witch. The commercial and Numbering bust
ness above Gardiner, to say nothing of an equal
right to natures advantages, demands that the
navigation of the river should not be impeded
But it remains for those most interested to be-
stir themselves in this matter. We say, let
us have from Augusta to Segnin, free river,
a great business highway, untrammeled by
any artificial membranes designed to favor
particular localities at the expense of the
whole. Men and communities are proverbial-
ly selfish; but we confess that in the effort
now being made to sacrifice the good of the
many TO promote the interest of the particular
few, we have a specimen of community selfish
ness not often afforded.

SHIP-BUILDING ON THE DAMARIsCoTTA RIv-
ER.-We learn from the Lincoln Democrat,
that five large ships have been built the past
season on the Damarisco,ta River, as follows
One by Joseph Day of 1900 tons; one by Alb
ner Stetson of 400 tons; one by A. S. Austin
of 1850 tons; one by H. & R. Hiscock of 652
tons; and one by Metcalf & Norris of $50 tons.
Besides these there have been built three barks
ship of 1000 tons is now on the stocks
The Democrat says-"We believe that our
enterprising ship builders and ship mechanics
stand unrivalled in our own State, and are not
surpassed in any other. Our community is
eminently ship-building community, and for a
great many years past has been so, and de-
gree of skill and experience has been arrived
at in all IFS varied departments, to enable those
interested in it TO build excellent vessels with
profit to themselves. Extensive preparations
are already being made tor the coming business
season, when it is supposed that more in num-
Der and in tonnage of vessels will be built than
in any previous year, The ready sale and the
high prices which have been found this au-
tumn and winter for vessels lying at our
wharves, sufficiently attest the skill and ST.
perioritY with which they have been con-
structed.'

Mammoth Caveats Cost, &c.

In one of Mr.. Willis recent letters to the
Home Journal, is the following paragraph re-
lating to the original purchase of and the
amount paid for the Mammoth Cave in Ken
lucky.
"Colonel Crogan, TO whose family it be-
longs, was a resident of Louisville. He went
to Europe some twenty years ago, and, as an
American, found himself frequently questioned
of the wonders of the Mammoth Cave-a place
he had never visited, and of which, at home,
he had heard very little. He went there i'm
mediately on his return, and the idea struck
him to purchase and make it family inheri-
tance In fifteen minutes bargaining, he
bought it for $4,000, though shortly after he
was offered 100000 for his purchase. In
his will he tied il up in such way that il
must remain in his family for two generations
thus appending its celebrity TO his name
There are nineteen hundred acres in the es-
tate--three square miles above ground-though
the cave probably runs under the property of a
great number of other land owners For fear
of those who might dig down and establish an
entrance to the cave on their own property, Ia
mans farm extending up to the zenith down to
the nadir,) great vigilance is exercised to pre-
vent such subterranean surveys and measure
ments as would enable them to sink a shaft
with any certainty. The cave extends ten OIL
twelve miles in several directions. and there is
probably many backswoodsman sitting in his
log hut within ten miles of the cave. quite un.

must be very consoling to those wing office

ing, the incumbent should have saved some
thing from three or four years enjoyment OF
its salary: if he might have saved, and did
not, be must face the consequences of his
improvdence. There is no help for that.
How very refreshing this must be to those
ofice-holders, who, thinking the good time
would continue four gears to come, have been
living in clover and using up the fat salary in
an improvident manner. Greeley says further
the unfeeling fellow, coolly:

The RAPPERs' DELUsIoNs.-The editor of

the State Lunatic Asylum at Columbus, says
there are in that institution twenty persons
whose insanity is clearly traceable to spirit
rappngs; and it is stated that there are in the
Utica IN. W Lunatc Asylnm nine victims of
the same deluson. The Cleveland Herald
says In many minds it seems TO finish the
work commenced by second Adventism-the
fruits being neglect of business, neglect of fam
lies, running after Missionaries and pretended
seers, scouting of Christianity and its ns,itu-
ton, spiritual wifeism, insanity, and in some
cases suicide.
