The CRESCENT CITY AT HAVANA
The refusal Of the authorities of Havana
TO admit the United States Mail Steam
er Crescent City. commanded by IA we'll
known and excellent officer Of our Ma
Wy is likely 10 be looked upon as an aC-
front to our government. 1t is a most
cowardly and petty spirit that refuses TO
lie, passengers or mails be landed from
a friendly nation, just because single
individual against whom the government
has a suspicion, chances to be attached
to her. Capt. Porter appears to have
acted with all the manliness and firm
ness that the case demanded, and his
protest will be undoubtedly made the
basis OF vigorous action oil the part Of
the United States Government.
Ii is n matter TO be regretted as well
as to be inquired into, why the Ameri
can Consul at Havana, Judge Sharkey,
remains absent from his post. There is
not por. in the world where there is
so great necessity for vigilant officer to
look after American interests as the port
OF Havana at the present time. A des-
potic government, frightened into ner-
vous dread ol American invasion, and
ready TO treat with distrust every one
from this country, is likely to take un-
due advantage OF the absence from his
post Of the only funclionary whose Office
1t Is TO protect Americans and their in
terests.
Circumstances, we are sorry TO say,
all tend to decided breach between
Spain and this country with reference TO
Havana. The bughear OF FiIIbuster
invasions and Lone Star orders keeps
the Captain General in constant state
OF apprehension, and gives some ground
for the jealous feelings OF the Cuban Of
icials; which will, at last prccipIta,c
the rupture which now looks almost in
evitabe.

Mr.. G. c. Langdon, who for fourteen
years past has edited the Mobile Adrer-
iser with signal ability, announces in
his issue OF the 30ih ulto. that he has
parted with his interest in the paper 10
Willis G.. Clarke, ESQ, by whom the
paper will be hereafter edited. Mr..
Langdon has always conducted the Ad-
reuiser on sound Wing principles. and
indeed may be called the Pioneer Wing
OF Alabama. When he assumed the
editorial charge Of the paper, there
was no Wing organization at all in AL
ALBANIA, and at the last Presidential cleo
ton the State came within one thousand
votes Of electing the Wing electoral
ticket. Mr.. Langdon concludes his
valedictory as iollows:-
In conclusion, congratulate the Wing
party OIL the cheering prospects OF the
political campaign in which they are
now actively engaged. From all sec
tions ui the Union VIC have the most en-
couraging accounts ol the progress oil
the canvass. The merits OF our cause
and of the candidates selected us our
standard bearers, are beginning TO be
understood and appreciated by the
whole community, and have now the
fullest confidence in the signal and tri-
umphant election of Scott and Graham,
il we but make the proper cxcrtion.-
God grant il may be 80, but in any
event, whether in prosperity or in ad-
vcrsity, victory or defeat, shall, in
whatever condition oflile may be pac-
ed, never cease to use my feeble efforts,
and offer up my earnest prayers Tor The
success OF tho Wing cause.

TAKE NEwsPArER.-lt may be !ald
down as an Dcontrover,ible proposition
that every fanny ought to take a news
paper. The price aid for it will be
money well spent. Unlortun tie indeed,
must the the nan who cannot give
2 cents a week, 10 know what 10 go
ing on in the world but still more un-
fortunate is lie who cares not to know.
In the family where good newspaper
Is taken, the man OF observation will at
once discover "A degree OF intelligence
which is not 10 be found where one is
not taken. The contrast between two
such families is most striking. In the
first case there is srr.t oil enquiry,
seeking after information, produced by
the paper, which it cannot entirely salts
fy. Books are sought and read and
in time the members OF this family be-
come well acquainted with men and
things, and are able to converse intelli-
gently on the various interest ng topics
OF the day while in the other family it
is hardly known who is governor OF the
State or representative Of the county.
Such groveIling stupidity can furnish
no adequate apology for itself; and we
fear is not to discomposed by argument
or reproof.
The delightful employment of reading
ought TO be encouraged in children, and
as newspapers are more attractive 10
the young than any other description Of
reading parents should supply this all
ment Of the mind without stint IL is
poor economy to decline to take paper
because 1t will cost a dollar or so TO pay
for it. Retrench in any thing else, but
do not rob the mind to fill the Golfers
