And this, we conceive, is the desperate
alternative which Mr.. Pierce and Mr..
Marcy have resolved upon in this belli-
gerent re- opening of the Cuban imbroglio. 1t
is an experiment to divert the public atten-
ton from the general imbecilities and collapses
in our foreign and domestic affairs which
have characterized this adminstration-to the
public necessity Of union aga INST the inadmissi-
bic pretcntions towards Cuba, Of England and
Trance. II is but trick to get up war en-
element in season for the Democratic National
Convention and upon which Mr.. Pierce or
Mr.. Marcy may ride into another Presidential
term.
AS the administration stands, il is failure
and is condemned; bnt let it involve us in
q Cuban quarrel with England and France,
from which there may seem to be no hope Of
escape short Of worldwide war, and it may
possibly rise again to its feet. We know that

ambition are terms more characteristic OF their
motives But still, we cannot but recognise
that however blameable their motives, the re-
cial to humanity.
In connection witt this subject we cannot
omit referring to incidents deplorable in their
results, and which must call for the action Of
orr government. The steamboat San Carlos,
while passing the Nicaraguau fort Of the same
name, conveying passengers en- route to San
Francisco, was fired on by the government
forces and lady and her child killed. There
was not the slightest provocation for this act
of barbarity, unless it be considered such that
a demonstration had been previously made
against the fort by the steamer Virgin, from
San Francisco. But still worse than this is the
fact that the passengers around the steamship
company's office in Virgin Bay, were fired on,
in cold blood, by the government troops and,
according to the best information received,
six killed, ten wounded and some twenty-five
missing. These are atrocities which, if unex-
planned, no excuse can pallate nor apprehen
sion Justify. Whatever our government .may
think of the Walker difficulties, it cannot, with
the slightest selfrespect or regard for the in
terests entrusted to it, pass by these outrages
without exacting full reparation.
The last points to which we would call at
tention in this category are, first the arrest of
Col. Cushing, an American citizen, by the gov
eminent forces under Gen. Corral, and his de-
tention until ransom of $4,000 was paid aud
second, the detention, as a prisoner, of Col.
Wheeler, the United States Minister to Mica
ragua. The former we may regard as an act
of retaliation, or, possibly, justice, for the aid
and comfort lent by the Accessory Transit
Company of which Mr.. Cushing is the agent,
to the filibustero party. The latter involves
point of international comfy which requires to
be duly weighed and considered 1t seems that
after Col. Walker had obtained possession of
the city of Granada, the United States Minis
ter, his secretary, and one or two citizens, were
deputed to go to the camp of Gen. Corral, ne
gotiate with him for peace, and offer to him the
post Of temporary President. Whether or not
the mission of Mr.. Wheeler was regarded as an
attempt to wean Gen. Corral from his allie
glance, certain it is that he was detained as a
prisoner at Rivas, and only liberated on a de-
wonstration being made against that town. Mr..
Wheeler may doubtless have acted in the mat
ter in the interests of humanity, but to us it
seems that he improperly compromised his gov
eminent in an affair purely national. We can
not see that he was at all justified in identify
ing himself with any party in that strug gle--
and instet of complaining to Gov. Marcy on
violation of his diplomatic sanctity, we sus-
pect that that wary old diplomatist will read
him severe lecture on his breach Of diplomatic
discipline.
Altogether, the affairs of Nicaragua ought to
be, at present, more interesting to us than
those Of the Crimea.

HE GREAT Snow STORM OF THE SEAsoN.-A
heavy fall of snow commenced on Tuesday af

thick and heavy, without moments cessation
from the time Of beginning. At the time we
write it has covered the earth to the dentb If
about twenty inches, and there is no prospect
OF an end to the storm. Sleighs, sleds and
cutters are again the order of the day, and
wheeled vehicles, which had forced the season
or rather the season had forced them-are
laid aside. The snow has come upon us from

HE NEW YORK SENATOR.--To-day, February
9th, has been fixed upon for the election of a
Senator by the New York Legislature, the term
OF Mr.. Seward expiring with the close of the
present Congress.
The interests of the mixed anti-Seward party
are very diverse, and there is no man among
them sufficiently strong in his own right to
command their united support. We suppose,
therefore, that Mr.. Seward will be reelected
Nor 10 we regret it. The intensity of his anti
slavery feeling is Objectionable, but otherwise
ne Is the best Senator from the North. His
Talents are OF the first rank-his industry al
most unparalleled-his liberality cosmopolitan
while in social intercourse he is reputed to
be an amable gentleman, and quite popular
among Southern members. We will not regret,
therefore, II we are called upon to give notice
OF the reelection of Mr.. Seward. The Senate
needs the presence of educated and scholarly
gentlemen-it requires dignity and classic elo-
quence TO retrieve its falling fortunes Errors
OF leeiing growing out of education can there

Seward, the noble qualities of intellect have
so great supremacy.
And the day after, it says:
Mr.. SCENARIOS RE-ELECTION.-As we predict
ed in the Courier yesterday, Mr.. Seward has
been reelected to another term of six years in
the National Senate. We feel no elevation oil
spirit at this result; and we feel satisfied that
the great State of New York has no ADLER man
to represent her in this important capacity.
