THE LAGER Beer POISONING CAsK.-We have
heretofore noticed the death, In New York, of Eu-
genia Wise, German woman, from the effects o.
poison, supposed to have been drank in lager beer
and the Illness of Eve other persons from the same
cause. An inquest held on the body of Mrs.
Wise, which resulted In the following verdict:
"That Mrs. Wise came to her death from the ef
fects OF poison; and from the fact of i've others
who partook of the dinner In question with the H.
ceased, having sickened In q similar manner To
that which caused DEATH are unable TO refer the
death of deceased TO other than some uosonons
property in the ham of which they eat on that &C.
cssion." 81 - So =

ldQLD MISING.-The editor of the Peters.
burg Intelligencer, snatching little time
from the hurry burly Of political warfare,
has been down to North Carolina, looking at
the operations of gold mining. 1t must be
highly gratifying to an Editor to enjoy a
privilege such as that His attention was
particularly directed to the process of quartz
crushing, which was performed by power

the wants and wishes of gold miners. BY it
50 tons of ore are crushed in a day. and in

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Unions leader to-day Is q succnct
article, explaining Why the President signed
the bill for the removal of the distractions in
the Savannah river below the city, when at
the same time he vetoed the bill for deepening
the channel over the st. Clair fats and of the
Sc. Mary's rive, in the State of Michigan. We
regret thai We are 30 at loss for space TO- day
a. to prevent rs from quoting literally from
TIE article in question, in asmuch as tits doubt
less an official exposition of tho reasons on
which the President wishes the public to I'M
derstand that he acted, in that case. To sum
IL up, however, We may say that the fact that
the distractions in the Savannah river were
VIGOROUSLY placed there as a means of defence
In the Revolutionary war induced him to sign
that bill, while the fact that the other en-
braced more than one improvement-bore on
ats face evidence that 1t was q log rolled bill
induced him to veto it. All who value the
integrity Of the Government of the United
States more than their neighborhood interest,
approve his action in this case, notwithstand.
ing the clamor against 1t of the newspapers
and politicians of the vicinage in which the
vetoed Improvements were proposed to have
been made.
The InteLfgsnesr argues to show that our
fllibusters keep Cuba in a constant state of
practical war alarm to superinduce, We pre-
sumo, the inference that Spain is justified in
her measures against our citissns on the island
and those by which she interferes with our
commerce in the West Indies, beyond her law
full Jurisdiction.
Tho Lnteifigeneer also insists that the
French account OF the declaration to the
Cortes of the intention of the Spanish Gov.
eminent with reference to slavery in Cuba,
Is incorrect, and quotes the account which La
CyODieG (ths organ Of Spain in New York;
gives of the proceedings in question, to prove
that they embraced-not q notification of in
tention to abolish slavery on the islend-but
guarantee that the Institution shall remain
untouched there for all time, while the Span.
ish Government will In future strictly observe
its treaty obligations to put down the African
slave Iade.
