NEGOTIATIONS AT MADRID.-A FEW WORDS
DIRECT FROM Mr.. SoULE.-The Paris corrcspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes-what in-
deed WAS foreseen rs the inevitable result OF his
negotiations that Mr.. Soue has no longer hopes
of an amcable settlement Of the Cuban question.
The correspondent says he derives his facts and
conclusions from Mr. Soule himself, and that
they are, therefore, worthy of entire confidence
These facts and conclusions are TO the following
effect, viz; that the responses and general con-
duct of the Spanish Cabinet have been so uni
form from the day on whi,h his first demand
was made, that he has become convinced that
their minds were made up in advance as to
what line of conduct they intended to pursue.
"No turn which he could give to the negotla-
tions has succeeded in changing the uniformity
of their replies, or the obstinacy with which
they seem determined to cling to settled line
of policy.-This conduct on their part is based
on two hypothesis which possess their entire
confidence 4; one of which is, that England and
France will lend her their assistance in cases OF
emergency, while the other is, that the deminds
of the Government of the United States are
mere demagogical threats made to subserre
political ends, and not based on the true senti-
ment Of the people of the United States. No
treaty has been concluded between France, Eng
land and Spain on the subject; but conferences
have been held, from which Spain has gathered
sufficient assurances to give her confidence in
their ultimate support in case of actual war.
The only question which Spain believes divides
the parties, is the question of slavery in Cuba,
and upon this question, when it comes to the
point, she will give in TO her allies, so as to
secure their support"

EFFECT OF HEAT ON HoRsEs.-We learn that
the propretors Powell, Metcaf & Coz of the
double mail line between this place and Mobile,
have lost, during the last few weeks of incle-
ment heat, some sixty valuable horses, and have
come 20 or 80 more disabled from work from
sun-stroke and the effects of the weather. Some
40 of these losses, with several mules, occurred
on the route from Escambia 10 Stockton, a dis
tance of about 40 miles and very sandy. 1t is
stated that fastening wet sponge over the brain
of horses, as is often practiced on the Levee in
New Orleans, will eGectualy protect them from
sun stroke.

Four DEAD Persons AND JUG.-On Tues
day last, says the Detroit Advertiser Of the 18th
gentleman from the Eighth Ward called upon
The city marshall, and requested him to make IN
examination of a house somewhere in that vcini-
,y. The house was shut up, and for some rea-
son it was supposed by the neighbors to contain
a dead person. The marshall broke open the
door, and discovered most mournful sight. A
gallon jug partly filled with whiskey, Sat upon
The floor, and in close proximity lay the forms
of its four unfortunate victims A man, his wife
and two children were quite dead, with only the
Jug to give an intimation of their untimely fate.

ATTEMPTED SUIclDE.-We have heard, but
cannot say how reliable the information. that an
elderly gentleman. living few miles below
Greenvie, we'll known to our citizens by the
name of Cain Wells. attempted his own life BY
shooting himself on Sunday last. 1t seems that
he did not quite succeed, but it is supposed that
it will be impossible for him 10 live, as much Of
his brain was shot away. The causes of this
unfortunate suicide we have not sufficiently
learned to positively state, but this much we
would repeat of what we heard: On Wednes.
day or Thursday, of last week, he promised
himself that unless it should rain upon his crops
by Saturday he would kill himself, and it not
having raincd, it appears That he cndeavored to
put his awful threat into execution. We sim
ccrely trust that this report is untrue, but if it
be. it should prove dreadful warning never TO
tempt the Almighty in the dispensations OF MS

We subioin with regret and feeling OF NOR
sifcation the Card of the Publisher Of the above
named valuable publication:
"THE SOUTHERN AGRIcULTURIsT.-The pub
Usher deeply regrets the present necessity which
compels him to suspend the publication of the
Southern Agriculurist. This he is forced to do,
from the simple fact, that the patronage bestow
cd upon the work, during the present volume,
has not been sufficient to defray the expenses
of. printing and the paper upon which it has
been published. But few have responded TO
our call to save the work, and unless active
measures and prompt patronage be bestowed, its
existence must altogether cease. Such lndlvid-
uals rs feel that n work of the kind should be
sustained in South Carolina will confer favor
by making known 10 the proprietor the amount
of subscriptions which they might feel justifa..
Bile in guarantying to the works by the lst OF
September; and should they prove sufficient to
carry it on, the full amount of matter will be
given by the end of the volume. AS it is, we
lave given for Sl.00 two hundred and twenty
four pages of valuable matter TO our present
subscribers in the Seren numbers published, and
should we not be encouraged to go on, we hope
that the small loss TO each subscriber will be
overlooked in the proper appreciation for our
own extensive losses in doing this much for
them.
sIt is but an act of justice to the Editors,
Col A. G. and Mr.. VIM. Summer, to State, that
as they are not in the least Interested IN the
pecuniary affairs of the work, they are not re-
sponsible for anything but its editorial manage

ence and talented pens, assure US that so long

edit it without other reward than the endeavor

AWFUL MoRTALITY.-On the last trip of the
propeller Oriental, large number of Norwegian
migrants were on board, among whom the
| ship fever suddenly broke out, ard, before the
trip was ended carried off about fifty of them.
They had endured a long and tedious journey
from their fatlerland, the confinement of closely
packed cars overland, and were fully prepared
for the incursion of a disease which is never
satisfied with few. Every attention was paid
to their wants by Capt. Sqnires and his crew, but
for which many more must have perished. The
deaths occurred principally on Lake Michigan
and Lake Huron-Rnffilo EXpress.

DAILY EVENING STAR.
1T WILL ALLBE RIGHT THE
MORNING.

When the bounding beat of the heart of love,
and the springing step, grow slow;
When the form of a cloud in the blue above
Lies dark on the path below.
The song that he sings is lost in a sigh,
And he turns where a star Is dawning,
And he thinks, il gladdens his heart and his eye
''II will all be right in The morning.''
When "the strong armed. - in the mlddie-watcf,
From LIES dim deck Is gazing,
And strives, through the wreck OF the tempest, To
catch
4 geam of the day beams blazing;
Amid the wild storm, there hard by the helm
He li-eds not the dark ocean yawning,
For iliS song in his soul not a sorrow can whelm:
SIT will all be right in the mornings
When the batrie is done, the harp unstrung,
IL music irembling-dyiBg;
when his woes are unwept, and his deeds unsung,
Ard he longs IN the grave IL be lying,
Then a voice shall charm. il charmed before
He had wept or waited the dawning:
They III love there for aye be thine OF yOre
lit viii all be right in the morning."
Thus all through the world. by ship and by shore;
Where the mother bends over
The cradle, whose tenant shaS gone on before -
Where the eyes of the lover
Light the way to the soul whatever the word
welcome, wall, a warning.
This is every where cheIished-lhs every where
heard;
sit Will all be right in the morning,'
