4 Ncrc idea IN Regardto Cuba.--A letter
from Washington says:
an the incidenta, debate which sprang mp
this morning in the Senate on the Nebraska
bill, Mr.. Butler. of South Carolina, hit upon one
point outside of the immediate question, which
is ofthe highest Specification and Importance
lie suggested the necessity Of harmony and
Cancellation between the two sections of the
Union, because of the dangers to be apprehen-
ded from the present alliance between France
and England. Let Russia be crushed in this
war; and what guaranty is there that the pres
ent balance of power in the Gulf of Mexico
will not he invaded? There is none. The vic
tqrious French and English fleets and armies
from the Baltic, the Black Sea. and the Danube,
may very easily be detailed to appropriate be-
tween the two powers the sovereignty of all the
West India Islands, and perhaps the territories
of Mexico and Central America. The ind ice
ments will be strong, and the present Anglo
French alliance covers the regulation of the
affairs of the Western as well as the Eastern
hemisphere. Mr.. tier has the sagacitv TO
see the drift of the Eastern question, as far as
this Western hemisphere is concerned; and be-
fore many months are ever, his views may be
shared in by much larger proportion of the
Southern members of both houses than at pres
en,. Mr.. Butler has shaped out the general
idea. and it will take root or die, as the war in
Europe ---ay disclose the Interior schemes Of
England and France in regard to Cuba and the
other West Indies"

Reading and TinkiRg.--This is emphati-
cally the age of reading. But it is one Of think
ing also! Our graudfathers had fewer books.
still fewer newspapers, and no system Of popular
lecturlng. yet what they acquired they had
time mentally to digest, and so became sounder
men. When Bacon said that reading made
the correct man, but conversation only a ready
one, he meant the reading of a more thorough
age than this. What conversation was then,
common reading is now. Men read light and
easy books instead of talking with thei: gosSips
and gain very little if any more improvement.
The true end of books, or even of good news
papers, is not merely to crafty curiosity, but to
supply facts and principles, which may be laid
away in the mind to be drawn upon subsequent
", as the exigencies of life demand. He who
reads without dgesting, even if he learns how
to think, never has stock of ideas on hand to
think about. He Is like the ISraeites in Egypt,
when they had no straw to make bricks. But a
careless reader is also a bad thinker. The
mind of thoughtful reader is like the boiling
apparatus of a mill, separating the bran from
the -four, cOincident with the act of reading
The hasty reader neglects this duty. Men for
get what they have read almost IS soon as the
book or paper is laid down. They never, or
rarely, exercise their judgement They don't
