convey to the human mind an idea of chaos,
it will be the situation of Cuba few years
after its government has consummated this ini-
quitous scheme. The white and black man,
the free and the bondsman, eaancipados and
African apprentices, natives and foreigners,
Creoles and Spaniards, idolaters and christians,
royalists and insurgents, civilized and savages-
what confusion, what boiling crater, what
whirlwind of disorder, corruption, vice. crime,
ruin, physical and moral death! But what
does the government of Spain care for all this?
She will certainly show no regret, inasmuch as
it is her own work-her policy in order to pro-
long her rule. She will be wolf amidst a
flock of sheep, and become tanner of wild
beasts-a vocation which, we're we allowed to
judge from the pages of her history, we would
say she is admirably qualified for by her natu-
raj instincts.

HON. WILLIAM 9. DAWSON.

A few days since we announced the election
to the United States Senate, from the State Of
Georgia, Of the Hon. Alfred Iverson, democrat,
as successor to Hon. William C. Dawson, whig.
Whilst we differ in politics from Mr. Dawson,
we would do violence to the best feelings Of
our heart if we were to suffer him to pass out
of the councils Of the nation without paying a
merited tribute to his character and services.
Distinguished for talents of the highest order,
he is also distinguished for the noblest quail
ties and the most chivalrous character. A
whig from conviction and sympathy, Mr.. Daw-
son yet belongs to that sound class Of wings
who abhor great overshadowing federal inAu-
encs and adhere to strict State-rights doctrines
He possesses a courage that never falters in
times Of peril-a patriotism beyond oil suspicion
and above all purchase. Universally beloved
In the State which he has represented in the
Senate with such signal ability, he is not the
less popular here. He leaves the august body
of which he is member with the affection
and esteem Of all who have been associated
With him. Mayhis retirement be as prosperous
as his public services have been honorable.

The Smithsonian Institution.

Messrs. EDlToRs: / am fully persuaded that
your correspondent "Jamblicus," has neither
means nor purpose to bring the question between
us to fair arbitrament. ] shall therefore await
no further reply from him, but proceed to state.
if you will give me leave, what conceive to be
the actual position Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, and the course and catastrophe which
manifest tendencies seem to indicate for it.
1t is hardly worth our while, at this time, to
consider the expediency Of the government Of
the United States accepting the bequest Of
Smithson. 1t is, nevertheless, point upon
which different opinions are yet entertained
Right or wrong, its acceptance was decided
upon, and by competent authority.
If this were fault, far greater one was
committed when Congress vested the control
OF the newly-erected institution in a body OF
which large proportion were to be members
of the two houses Of Congress. Such is the
power of habit upon US all, so great and per.
sistent the influence of habitual mental occu-
patton, that it is not to be expected of human
nature to adapt itself readily and completely to
wide transitions of function. The constructor
OF the best machine is not usually the fittest to
use 1t; nor is the law-maker commonly found
to be the best expounder, still less the best
minister to execute it. Senators and represen.
tatifco, WIN icafe Iueir cndlrS IN the nails oil

hind them certain habitua1 ingrown con
sciousness of power over the law. They
made it; they fashioned its sections; and
when afterwards they come to administer it
to exercise powers created and conferred by
it, it is most difficult for them wholly to lay
aside, in so doing, a certain degree of feeling Of
irresponsibility very naturally resulting from
their former relation to it. Until the chick
had Clipped the shell, they had presided over
the incubation. What more natural than Ia
cluck it about in the way it should CO. and to
set before it the meat most convenient for it /?
What wonder, if having had il in so intimate
and close relation in its fgtal state, they
should continue to regard it as somewhat EN-.
bryotio still. This feeling is contagious. Ali.
ance with power Is power, or, at least, simu,
lates it. Their fellows In the board, without
all question, felt their responsibility sensibly
ligbtened by the association as functionaries

THOMAS RIrcHIE.

We heartily concur with the Hartford New
Hampshire) Reporter in the following glow
ing tribute to Thomas Ritchie, esq. It says
.The renown of Thomas Ritchie as an edi-
tor is worldwide. No man has welded the
editorial pen with more vigor, energy, and skill
than that venerable gentleman. For nearly
[half] century, while be was at the head of the
Richmond Enquira, his word was law with the
southern democracy, and indeed, we may add,
with the democracy ofthe Union. He was the
contemporary of jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
and the great men of the revolution. Thomas
Ritchie was as much renowned as patriot as
he was as an editor. Some three years since
he retired from the press, full Of years and
honors, and with reputation equal to that of
any of the renowned statesmen Of the country
who Aourished in the same period. He is now
in retirement but he is yet careful observer
of political affairs. OF course, at the venera-
BILE age Of eighty years, he cannot be regarded
as an of6ce-seeker, nor charged with personal
disappointment in consequence of any of the
acts or measures of the present cabinet. Yet
Mr.. Ritchie, as those knowing the man and
his illustrious history might suppose, is true
national democrat, as we see intimated in the
Washington Sentinel, and as we hear from
other sources. He dissents from the removal
of Bronson, and the appointment to high and
responsible Offices of those who have been con-
spicuous leaders in the freesoil party, sympa-
thizing fully with Daniel S. Dickinson, of New
York. We are perfectly willing to stand on
the same ground on which Mr. Ritchie stands,
the correctness Of whose position the whole
country will acknowledge before this admin
istration fulfls its term of Office"

drawn off each hour where there is great de.
mand for an immediate delivery of the manu-
factured article.
Oystershells can be calcined into lime by
this kiln with astonishing expedition, and with
an equally astonishing small consumption Of
fuel.
Let it not be understood that this patent
can only be adapted to the burning of lime.
Every experiment that has been made showing
its great facilities for the manufacture of lime
but applies with greater force to the making
of cement. In the manufacturing Of cement, ii
will turn out between two hundred and fifty
and two hundred and ninety barrels day,
without the least fear of burning it too much,
as is the fault of many kilns
The most beneficial result of this patent is
the cheap rate at which lime and cement can
be sold when manufactured in kiln of this
kind. The company who own the kiln in
Washington have uniformly, since its erection,
sold lime at eighty cents per barrel.
The lime made in this way has been sub
Jected 70 tests, both Dy prachcal builders and
scientific men; and the result has been yer.
dict of its superiority over other lime of be-
tween twenty and thirty per cent.
When we look at the increasing prosperity
Of our country, more certainly exemplifed by
its great mechanical structures, whether public
or private, than by anything else, it is source
of great qualification to reflect that the inven.
tive genius of our country has conceived and
brought forth an invention which will manufac-
ture, with so much less expenditure and greater
facility and expedition, two Of the principle ma.
terials necessary in the construction of all
great works, namely, lime and cement-arti-
cles SO much used, and Of constantly increasing
demand, as well as of such universal and per-
manent utility.

House OF Representatiyes.

The SPEAKER laid before the House several
communications one from the Treasury Depart
ment relative to the Chickasaw treaties; another
from the department of the Interior, transmitting
certain estimates Of appropriation; and the third
from the commissioner of public buildings, enclos-
ing information in relation TO contracts. All OF
which were appropriately referred to the proper
committees.
PRIVATE BILLS.

expressly provide that Turkey and Russia are
70 be invited to negotiate for peace, not alone,
but with the concurrence ofthe four powers
On that ground Turkey has acceded to the
project, and on similar grounds only can it be
rendered to Russia. The point which the EN-
peror Nicholas will first have to decide is,
whether he does or not recognise this collective
action of the mediating powers in the east,
which he has hitherto affected 10 evade. If he
does, we know no reason to prevent him from
sending plenipotentiary for the renewal of
peace on some neutral ground. If he does not,
the negotiation fails, and his intentions can
only be to dictate peace to Turkey, on worse
conditions than before, by force of arms.
But, long before the communication can
reach st. Petersburg at ALL the emperor will
have received, and probably has already at this
moment received, dispatches from London and
Paris of different character. When the
British and French governments resolved to
take active measures to prevent the occurrence
Of such an attack as the Russians had just
made on the squadron of Sinope, and for that
purpose to hold the Black sea, if necessary,
against the forces which Russia might attempt
to send into 1T we understand that they for
warded to st. Petersburg distinct notice of
their intention, and apprised the Russian cabi-
net OF the means they proposed to employ for
the prevention Of hostilities. The answer of
the Russian cabinet to such an intimation will
very likely determine for the present the nature
of our relations with that empire. The czar
may think fit to consider such on occupation of
the Black sea as an act of hostility which he
will instruct his cruisers to resist, or he NAV
testify desire for peace he has not hitherto
shown, by submitting to the representations Of
the mediating powers. But in either case it is
probable that another week will elapse before
the effect of this communication can be known
to us in western Europe.
The propositions Of negotiation from Con-
stantinople and Vienna cannot arrive at st.
Petersburg till some considerable time later,
although the substance Of them must already
be perfectly well known to the Emperor Mich
olas, as in fact it is to the public; and he may
therefore have determined beforehand on the
course he intends to pursue. But, until we
learn his determination on one at least Of these
communications, nothing can be conjectured
with confidence as to the course of events,
which must now very speedily be determined.

in our columns to-day; and as it is much briefer
than those which have heretofore emanated

attentive perusal. We have heard but one
opinion expressed in regard to the message,
