spain aud the United States
The Intelligence from Spain, received
chiefly through the Madrid Correspondence
Of the London Times, is of considerable
interest. A rumor Is noticed 10 the London
papers that the United States Government
has offered to abandon its rcclalnations
against SPAN If the latter will cede her
African possession, Mellllla, TO the United
States; no authority, however, Is given for
It, and 1t Is evidently entitled to no credit.
1t will be seen from the following extracts
that Spain Is about to send COCO additional
troops to the West Indies, and that Cuba
Is to be largely reinforced in anticipation of
difficulties with the United States:

The Enquirer of yesterday corrects Us in
our quotation Of corn, as we also corrected
the error in the same days paper. This is
right. We have invited the public to correct
our quotations whenever an error is discover
ed. We rarely make mistakes in this partic-
ular, and an occasional mistake, considering
how much we have to say about markets, IS
very excusable. The Enquirer very rarely
troubles itself about such matters.
But the Enquirer says:
We would also caution the public against
relying upon the telcgrsphic markets as re.
ported in the Journal. Yesterday Linseed
Oil was quoted at 81 cents, in New York, and
whisky at 80 cents in Cincinnati. Such out
rageous blunders occur almost daily.
1t is not necessary for us to "caution the
public against relying upon the telegraph
markets in the Enquirer, simply because
the Enquirer don't contain any telegraph
markets. F" 1t does not take dispatches by
Telegraph, but it takes dispatches from the
Evansville Journal and from Louisville pa.
pers. The most prominent news and mar
kets in yesterdays Enquirer, iwere published
in the Journal of the day previous! The
, Journal not only has regular contract with
! the Telegraph Company h ere, for dispatches
over the line, but it pays for them, which is
more than the Enquirer did when it tool
, them in company with US. The Evansville
, Journal is the only paper in this region which
takes Telegraph Dispatches. 1t therefore
can furnish as it does, news, markets, &c. te
h the people of this city and vicinity, ahead o
J., any other paper Occasional errors in mar
e kets received late at night, are unavoidable
c but we shall take care that in the future
: even jealous neighbor may not find cause
n for complaint. Our merchants. and business
e men in the country, are in the habit Of look
G ing to the Journal fer market quotations, ant
not to the stale columns of the Enquirer.

House, is poser. 1t provides that nothing
contained in the Nebraska and Kansas bills
shall be construed so as to legalize the in.
PRODUCTION of slavery into the proposed Ter.
ritories. OF course the advocates of "Non-
interference" will be compelled to sustain
this amendment for the sake of consistency;

The Wing press is in full union with ev-

The present Locofoco administration has
given more Offices to freesoilers than all its

to give character and power to aboli,ionists

soiler" were known. The Hon. r. H. STAN
ton, in letter published this week in the
Louisville Democrat, and he leading DEM
ocrat, said Pierce has in the first year of his
administration appointed hundreds of aboi-
