Observation-Disclosures DEsTINY.-Take
the earth, says n writer, that God has given
us, and by industry and labor suited to it
make every portion of it bloom and blossom
as garden for the peace Of man. But tn,
objection is often urged that there is danger
in extending over territories and adding new
people in our progress. Whether for good
or for evil, it is vain to oppose it. Our dcs
tiny is onward, and onward, until many more
rich and prolific regions are to be wrapt un.
der the broad folds of our national banner
The spread Of our population and peculiar
organization will be more rapid and triumph
ant than the conquests of the Roman eagles
in their proudest day, or of the British lion
upon the Burampoota or the Gauges. eau.
tious conservatism may dcclaim agsinst it.
but it will be of no avail. As we'll nigh,
you attempt to turn the angry wave Of the
Mississippi by stretching wicker work across
it. In the future, the progress and acquisi.
ton Of this republic is n fixed fact, beyond
the reach of human power to arrest it. The
great duty of the statesman is to direct it in
to proper channels, and let it flow on without
a sudden eruption if possible.

The Courier des Etats Unis, which seems
to be in the confidence Of Mr.. Soule, says:
"That he goes with the fixed determination
to exert every effort to acquire for the Prcs:-
dency of Mr.. Pierce the honor of Cuban an.
nexation, is fact known by his own avowal.
1t is not less certain that he cherishes tho
hope OF success. BY what means is his Sc
cret. But it does not seem that he has fixed
in his own mind his plan-for he declined to
receive from the Secretary of State any in
structions. He bears carte blanche fuj and
entire IN whatever concerns the principal and
real objects of his mission"

THE UNIoy GOLD MrSEs.-Thcsc mines
are situated in Union county, Ga, about ,hir-
ty miles, in nearly an Eastern direction, from
the Copper Mines of Polk county. They
are owned by company, who have just coin
mcnced working them, and the result thus
far indicates that they will prove immensely
valuable. The mines are on a small stream
called Cum Log" Il tributary of Brass Town
Creek, which empties into the Iliwassee.-
There are three veins, running North % de-
grecs East. The Eastern is about 90 feet
from the centre or middle vein, and the West
vein about IL feet In running the Northern
direction these veins have the appearance of
convcrging in a short distance. We have
been shown several rich specimens from the
Union mines, and we have but little doubt
when properly worked and tested, they will
prove equal to any Of the quartz mines Of
California We will give fuller description
of them at some future time.

.W- Closing an article upon the probabiIi-
ties of war between Russia and Turkey, the
New York Tribune remarks:
TO whomsoever may have been cajoled in
to the belief that the peace, if amty be now
restored, is more than a truce. we commend
a thoughtful consideration of the late incl
dents in the harbor of Smyrna. There the
mere arrest of an apparently insignificant and
worthless refugee all bu. led to collision
which must have caused rupture which the
arts Of Diplomacy would have been insuffi-
cicnt TO heal. We state an obvions fact in
saying that Capt. lngraham, had he sunk the
Austrian corvette in Smyrna harbor, as it was
but chance he did not, would almost ineyi.
tably have been the next President Of the
United States. Had the two ships been cruis-
ing off the harbor, instead of at anchor with
in it, where action must have been gross
outrage on neutral rights and resulted in
wOetul destruction Of life and property on
shore, the collision could not have been aver
ted.

majority in that body, but a safe and reliable
