CORRECTION OF AN ERROR.

In the obituary of Mr.. VIM. F. Carter, pub.
lished in this paper, yesterday, there occurred
| An error. which we have corrected for the
country paper, but which we take occasion TO
aIlude to because it affords us an opportunity
| to relate an anecdote respecting character Of
historical note, who " ill not be forgotten, in
Virginia, as long as its citizens retain any me-
mory of the revolutionary war. The error we
allude to is TO be found in the second sentence,
where the father of Mr.. Carter is said to have
been the "schoolmaster'' Of Col. Tarlton. 1t
should have been schoolmate.
Capt. John Carter, like many young men OF
his day, was educated III England, but wheth-
or at Etou or Westminster. we do not recollect.
Be that as it may, however, Col. Tarlton was
pupil at the same school with him, was his
elassmate, and an intimate friend. The two
friends separated on leaving school, to meet no
more, for many years, Tarlton going into the
army, and Mr.. Carter returning home. When
Sir Henry Clinton was laying siege to Charles
ton, in the winter of 1879 80, regiment Of mi
command of Col. Buford, sent to the assistance
Of their beleaguered brethren. Apprised of
their approach, the British General sent Tarl-
ton, with his legion, to cut them off, and the
latter did his work so effectually, that he mas
sacred, captured, or dispersed, never to be raj
lied again, the whole party at the Waxhaw
settlements, on the frontiers of South Carolina.
Among the volunteers of this unfortunate ex-
petition, was Mr.. Carter, Tarlton's old friend
and schoolmate. In attempting to escape, this
gentleman was wounded, and at the same mo-
ment his horse was killed under him. The
Dragons were, at the time, pursuing the ere
bels," as the chose to call those who fought
for their country, and numbering them without
mercy. Two Of them overlook MIR. Carter, and
were about to cut him down, when he asked
for quarter, and said that he knew their Col
onel. AS, from the effects of long march, a
long beard, and dirty shirt, to say nothing of
the blood and dust with which he was plenti-
fully sprnkled, his appearance was none of the
most respectable, the men did not believe him.
They took MIN, however, to L arlton, who had
just dismounted, and was resting from the IA
tigue of the day. AS soon as he laid eyes on
the prisoner, he recognised him at once, and
before he got within twenty yards of him cried
out, in a language, which, if we may credit the
Rev. Mason L. Weems, was quite familiar 10
him, and which cannot be denied the praise of
energy, whatever objection may be made to it
on the score of elegance, "Why it all,
Jack is that you What the ID are
you doing here2"
Very ieS good things have been recorded of
TTaarlton. 1t is therefore butjust to say, that
he treated his quondam schoolmate with ex-
IRENE kindness-paro oiled him as soon as he
was in a condition to travel-and furnished
him, out of his own purse, with the means to
reach home.

DISTINGUISHED MAN.

Lord Ellsmere has bsen delivering lectures
upon the character of the late Duke Of Well
lington, who, it seems, was q particular per-
sonal friend Of his Lordship. The most marked
trait in his character, he says, was his "disin-
terestedness.' The Lord have mercy on as!
This must be the most valuable quality, espe-
cially in England, that any man ever possess
ed. 1t was worth, to His Grace, about three
millions of pounds sterling, and places, worth
at least twenty thousand per annum more -
We have some idea Of setting up for disinter-
estedness ourselves, though we fear that as it
is not so uncommon on this side OF the water,
it may not command so high a price. The
Duke, in this respect, is eontrasted by the lee
turer with the great men of England, who
flourished in the early part of the century. He
does not specify, but we suppose he means
Fox, Pitt, and Sheridan, each of whom died
without leaving behind him money enough to
pay his funeral expenses. If they had received
millions from the Treasury, they would, no
doubt, have been entitled to rank with We'll
lington in this particular.
Count Adam Potocky, who was imprisoned for
mis- share in the Polish insurrecron has been libe-
rated
Baron Jean Won Gsgern, who played a promi
nent part at the Congress of Vienna, died recently.
Under the liquor law in Massachusetts,, Deacon
Hollis, of Braintree has been fined $40 for having
sold two quarts of cider.
Judge Hugsr, Of Savannah by the burning of his
rice mill, few days ago, lost nearly 1900 bushels
of rice.

CUBA AND MEXICO.

The announcement of the Mexican Journal,
published by us yesterday, that Louis Napo-
leon would take hand in any Intervention
with regard to Tehuantepec, coupled with
the half threat of the London Times, gives rise
to just suspicion, that it is the object Of the
European Maritime Powers to hem in the
United States, and stop the development of its
commerce. We cannot yet believe that Eng
land and France will be mad enough TO 60 to
war for Spain yet it would be great thing
for England, if she could establish "Protecto-
rate" over Cuba. She has one, already, over
the Mosquito coast, and if France gets posses.
sion of the Tehuantepec route, we shall be ef-
tectually curbed. Cuba has been said to earrv
the keys of our commerce at her girdle, and
| she is, in truth, or might become, in English
hands, the pOrteress of the Mexican Gulf.
IfEngand and France really have any de-
sign OF obstructing our commerce in this direc-
ton, II is time that we were taking steps to
| eounteract it. 1t may be laid down, as an in
controvertlble fact, that tile United States will
never permit Cuba TO pass into the hands of
any European Maritime Power. Attached by
locality, to what has been called the American
system, IT can never pass from the hands of
Spain, without falling into ours. That it is
looked upon in Europe as a check upon US,
cannot be doubted. The infatuation of the
| Cuban Government seems about to throw il TO-
to our arms, even when we are not seeking for
it. Unjust eventually belong to US, for we
must not leave it in the possession of tho e.,
who would use it, in time of war, for Destroy
ing our commerce. 1t would be very pretty
thing for France and England, if they could
take possession Of Cuba, establish a protecto-
rate OF Mexico, link it with the protectorate of
Mosquito, seize the Tehuantepec route, make
the Gulf mare elaasuns, and regul our int r.
course with California, as il might suit their
pleasure or interest. All we say is, that il
.they dol if, they will have to fight for it. We
do not think they are fools enough to go to
war for il. but they would like to effect ,hei,
ohIectby intimidation il they could.
