THE NEW COURT House.

MEssRs. EDIroRs--One day las. week
for the first time since the walls CT the
new Court House were completed, | was
in lronton. There being soma talk in
the ncighborhool where | live, about the
magnificent appearance Of the county
buildings. The Court House was the
6rst and principal object Of interest to
me in going into town. Having heard
that the county commissioners before le..
ting out the job of building, sent an a.
gent to Columbus, to obtain from Nj.

tions for the Court House. had there

all the peighboring counties, on either
side Of the river, be regarded by men ol
correct taste, in such matters, as the mo.

crude notions Of building. cannot un.

The News From Cuba.---Pr0bablc
Trouble in that Quarter.

Full details are given in another part
Of this days Statesman Of some quite in.
tercsting doings in AMI about Cuba. 1t
appears that the American flag has again
been violated by Her Brittanic Majcs.
tvs corvette Vesial. AS the American
barque Martha Ann was leaving port,
she was demanded by the British cap.
tain to show her colors, and being tardy
in responding, she was frel into. The
British officer has filed af1idavils with
consul SmARKEY, explaining his conduct
as founded on the suspicion that the
Martha Ann was a SLAYER, an that her
delay in showing her colors justiGe him
in firing. This will be subject for in
vestisation.
1t will be seen, also, that the Cover.
General Of Cuba treated Vice Pres.
iIcnt KING with SO marked q discourtesy
on his arrival at Havana, that Mr.. King
felt callcl upon to rcbuke his Excellency
CAsEDo. 1t will b. seen too, that when
four hours out from Havana, the Black
Warrior was frcl into by a Spanish
man of.war. These outragcs will create
much Indignation in this country, anil
must leal to deep irritation towards the
otfeniing parties. There is no nation
on earth whose flag has received one half
the insults and ontrages that have been
heapcd upon ours within the last four
years. The county will expect the new
administ ration to rectiiy the habitual de
linquency which has characterized the
proceeding, on this score, about the first
thing after its installation.
The American people will learn with
pain AMI sorrow that Mr.. Kings health
continues precarious. The most favor.
able Indication we have observe is the
following passage in letter to the Jour.
nal Of Commerce, datel Havana, Feb.
10:
"Therc has been no possibility of a
material change in his health during the
few days he has been with us, but there
is reasonable prospect Of improvement,
from his present condition"
Other accounts concur in representing
his condition as very low, one or two
stating that Mr.. KING himself entertains
very slight hope Of permanent recovery

not stop at Baltimore. He reached here
at half past 8 o'clock, in company with
Pearson Butler and Sydney Webster.
The Mayor was at the depot, but did
not discover Mr.. Pierce. He passed out
through the crowd unobserved, and got
into q coach and drove to Willard's Ho.
tel, before it was known that he had
left the cars.
Jefferson Davis has not reached the ci.
ty yet, nor is there any intelligence that
he has left his home for this city.
Gov. Marcy appeared in the Senate
today, and attracted much attention.
In regard to the Cabinet appoint.
ments, much uncertainty exists, not on.
ly as to the persons really fixed on, but
also in regard to the positions that may
be assigned them.
Gen. Scott called on Gen. Pierce yes.
te rday, but he had gone to the Erics.
sen.
Gen. Pierce dined with President Fill.
more last evening.
The President and the President elect,
and several members Of the Cabinet, and
a distinguished party Of novel and sci.

The Springfield Republican relates
the following "touch ofnature."
A car full Of passengers passed. over
the Western Railroad in which occur.
red simple but touching scene, worthy
Of record. One ofthc passengers was
woman, carrying in her arms a child
who annoyed every one by its petulance
and cries. Mile after mile tho passen.
gers bore the inaiction ofits noise, which
rather increased than diminished, until
at last il became furious, and the passen.
gers nearly SO. There were open com.
plants, and one man shouted-"take
the child out" The train stopped at a
station, when an old gentleman arose,
and made the simple statement that the
father o(the child had died, recently, a.
way from home, that the mother had
been on a visit to her friends ana had
died on board the train, and that the
child was in the arms of woman who
was stranger to it. 1t was enough
There was tear in nearly every eye,
and all were melted into pity and pa.
ticnce.-All selfishncss was lost in
thinking Of the desolation of the little
wanderer, who found a warm welcome
in hands that, a moment before, would
almost have visited it with blow.
