dauntlessness, and utterly demoralizef the
State If half the Russians to day, mainly
drawn from he working classes artisans, me-
chanics, and lettered persons, we're to declare
that their coDsciences forbade their takiog part
in The present war, and were allowed to remain
in the kingdom TO discourage others by their
attitude Of cold resi- sDation it is quite certain
that it would Do in the power OF the allies, it
they chose, to destroy the Russian Empire. The
Gotbs obtained that power with regard to Rome,
end they destroy ed 1t, knowing no better. Chris.
tianity it was which gave them power.
As for slavery, it was source Of strength. 1t
was one of the earliest institutions Of repub-
fcan Rome, as TaIquin's threat to Lucretia
shows; and lasted till the sack of the city, when
the slaves outnumbercd the freemen. Ia early
times it enabled the citizens to give themselves
up wholly to arms, all the mental Offices aud
peaceful occupations being filed by slaves; and
thus materially strengthened the military power
OF the State Latterly, after Christianity d.
vided the people, and a general infidelity per-
vaded the educated classes, the slaves were
undoubtedly source of weakness, as they were
not bred to arms, and the avocations of the
Christians intertered with them; but there is no
reason to suppose that servants hired on any
other plan would have escaped the same objec-
ton, and, besides, the ruin Of Rome was at
this time quite certain and proximate.

out date, and 10 clue is given to his place Of
retirement in Europe He is debiltated and
broken in spirit-he does not wish to be dis

tells them here about five thousand dollars

Ter is about two millions, and as be says his

SLAVERY IN CuBA- CAPITAL VERSUS ADOLF
rIoNIsM.-A curious change has suddenly been
brought about in the policy Of the Cuban gov
eminent in reference to the negro population
Of the island. The niger militia-that re-
doubtable phalanx whose very aspect was in
itself enough to terrify an enemy-is to be dis
banded, and the heroes composing it are to be
returned to the peaceful labors of agriculture.
1t is not the resignation Of Senior Luzuriaga nor
the suariter in n,odo of Com nodore McCauley
which has occasioned this alteration in the SEN
timents Of the Captain General. A more
powerful influence than either of these
has led to the abandonment, at least for the
present, Of his emancipation projects.
In one of the hast letters of our Havana cor
respondent it was stated that the stock OF the
Spanish bank was at q lamentable discount and
that in fact scarcely any one could be found to
take it. This was rather o singular circum-
stance, considering the favorable nature Of the
terms offered. The Captain. General inquired
into the cause of it, and was given plainly 70
understand by the Cuban capitalists that as
long as the niger element was allowed 20
predominant in the counsels Of the govern
ment they would do nothing towards cxtri-
eating it from its pecuniary difficulties. They
represented that it would be suicidal on
their part to assist in putting arms into the
hands Of the black population, with the certainty
which they had before them that they would
ultimately be used for the destruction, or at all
events for the expulsion, of the whites. 1t was
added that If the government would disband
the black troops of all de- criptions, the proper
,ty holders would be induced to look more fa
yorably on the stock. This argument was, Il
see MS, all powerful. What would not be con-
ctded to the circumstances OF the planters, was
at once yielded to the representations of the
capitalists. Orders were Immediately issued
TO ditbabd the niger militia throughout the
island, ard the stock Of the Spanish bank is no
doubt by this time at respectable premium.

THE OLD STORY OVER AGAN.-The Buffalo
Commercial .adue, tiser, in view of the proba.
BILE speedy downfall of Santa Anna in Mex
leo, and of chain Of contingencies from
this result, which may hurry up the an
nexation of the Mexican Republic to these
United States, is dreadfully alarmed at the dan
gerous agitation which would inevitably fol-
low such prodigious additional acquisition
Of Southern territory. But we apprehend that
our present anti slavery crusade on Kansas and
Nebraska could not be made much worse or
more threatening to the peace Of the country,
by throwing Mexico as q make weight in the
Southern scale. The fruit in Mexico is evil
IDENTIFY ripening, and between the transfer of
that country to some European protectorate
and its annexation to this Union, we rather
think the American people, when the question
isput, will decide upon annexation, sink or
swim. Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Califor-
Dia are pretty good precedents in this line of
business.
Perhaps Mr.. Pierce may stave Off the ulti-
mate question few years longer by the pur-
chase Of another Gadsden tract in exchange for
another ten or fifteen millions in hard cash.
But whether bought up by piece meal or taken
in the lump, Mexico must be finally absorbed.
There appears to be no other alternative for the
salvation of that country, nor for the fulfilment
Of our manifest destiny" The whole issue,
for the present, hinges upon the wooden leg of
Santa Anna, and his footing is very insecure.
Truly do we live in eventful times.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1855-07-03


this time quite certain and proximate.
The WEATHER AND THE CRoPs--The present
cheated term" has been pretty intensely heated
and steady for the last eight or ten days, and
the consequences in sun strokes, and in the
otherwise increased mortality resulting from
such weather, are, in many unhappy instances,
irreparable; but, in more general and com
prehensive view, this succession of hot sunny
day will have proved a great blessing to the
country The late continuous and heavy rains,
and the unusual GOODNESS of the season until
within q fortnight past, had thrown the crops
back considerably. There was the danger i'm
pending Of rust to the ripening wheat, and Of
sprouting to the grain harvested and in the
shock, while the Indian corn, thougo abuu
dainty supplied with moisture, was languishing
in many localities, from the want of the usual
summer su nshine.
The cheated term" has therefore just come
in the nick of time for the farmers. 1t has
doubtless already resulted in the ripening and
saving Of untold millions Of bushels of the
great staple of the Caucasian races-this To-
valuable article Of wheat; and with few days
more of fair hot weather, the immense crop of
the United States will have been secured. So,
too, with regard to Indian c3rn. The earth
being saturated with our previous Astounding
rains, the corn has only wanted cheated
term" of fortnight or so to make it crackle
as it grows, and to give us the assurance, with
even something less than moderate sup
ply of rain in August, Of an overwhelming
crop Of this substantial North American
article, from the st. Lawrence to the Rio
Grande. The growing cotton crop of the South
will also feel, after these late general rains and
cold weather, the good effects of this "spell'
of bountitul sunshine; and the same may be
said of all the growing crops of grain, grass,
roots, fruits vegetables and weeds, including
tobacco.
In word, this heated term" is just the
thing that was wanted. Incidentally resulting
in casualties of death and disease, it has been
productive Of much general good touching the
ripened, ripening and growing crops. 1t has
increased the good prospect of most abundant
supplies of all the substantials of life, and OF
corresponding lift to all classes from the recent
heavy pressure Of the last years drawbacks,
here and elsewhere, Of financial panics aud de-
pressions, war, pestilerce and famine. So let
us be thankful for this heated term" aud pa
tiently wait for change.
