Spirit Of the Morning Press.
The Intelligencer is still somewhat in
clined to doubt whether war between
Turkey and Russia will actually take
place, saying:
"We question the correctness Of the despatch
which represents hostilities rs begun. How
ever inAamed the Turkish population may be.
and however unyielding the Car may prove,
the great Powers which have counselled and
countenanced Turkey have too deep a stake
in the preservation of peace to permit war to
break out if they can POSSIBLY avert it. The
knot is a hard one, but We still think they will
find way to unite it.
The same paper describes the labors
and success Of 1t. Beale's superintendent
Of Indian affairs in California, on his late
overland trip to that region, in highly
wrought terms. Colonel Benton him
self could hardly have said more in his
praise. The Intelligencer also contains
communication inquiring into the truth of
the recent statements of the Union on the
Cubaquestion. Thewriter argues earnest
ly that there can be no soundness in the
idea that Britain is about to patronize the
slave trade again by formal treaty, or
otherwise.
The Union continues its discussion of
the Cuba question in still another of the
series Of powerful articles on the SUBJ
ject, which of late have been found in
its columns. Knowing as we do, that
private and confidential information from
Cuba has been received by the conduc-
tors of that paper, which amply justifes
Its present earnestness upon this ques-
ton, we trust that its appeals may be
promptly listened to by the country. The
editors conclusion is important, as in his
position he must be understood as speak
ing the sentiments of the government.
Thus he says:
We deny utterly, moreover, the right in
law or custom or by treaty claimed by Great
Britain, or any other European power-we
deny especially the right of a conjoint conspir
acy OF European powers, whether it be the
Holy Alliance, or one unadorned with less
pretentious blasPhemy in name, and less abom-
Unable crimes in act. to interfere in any man
ner on this continent or its islands between
US and the power in possession, as Spain in
this instance, or between the subjects of any
European sovereign here and that sovereign,
as between the Cubans and Spain in this in
stance. Should any such Intervention take
place, for the purpose either of REFRESHING in
surrection after it is begun, or of intimidating
and preventing such instruction in advance,
We care not to ask the President what will be
his duty and his course; we take our cue from
his Inaugural Address. and q. we interpret
that, such Intervention would be repealed, if
need be, by arms"
The Sentinel continues it's i" independ-

the matter of the Bronson affair, heading
its editorial of the day upon the subject

The balance of that paper of the day
is, for the most part, filled with extracts
from other papers giving, independent

SentinePs fashion. Its extract from the
Courier y Enquirer is particularly saw
age upon Secretary Guthrie.
The Baltimore Times, discussing the
cause of the Washington Sentinel's course,

will receive our thanks for copies of Har-
per's and Putnam's Magazines for No
vember. Hsrper's is as good as usual,
maintaining its title as the first periodical
in the country, Putnam is rather better
than it has been for some time past.
