publishes rather long letter from Kossuth in
relation to Cuba and the United States, He
takes the ground that there is large Republi-
can party in Spain, and if the United States
had actively taken part with the Republicans
in The Revolution of 1854 in Spain, republic
can gosernment would have been established in
that eountry, and Cuba would have become ours
by Voluntary action-Jn their part. He regards
the idea of purchasing the island from the mo-
tIer country as preposterous and absurd. If an
attempt TO seize the island. by force were made,
Spain would abolish slavery and declare the
negroes free, which would embarrass the ques-
ticn of American action in the United States,
and'would cause England and France to take
part with Spain to defend her rights. f.t

FRENCH OPINION OF THE ENGLISH TROOPS


The first thing which would strike spectator
arriving at Sebastopol is the great contrast which
exists between the English and French armies In
the former to be observed the reign offormalty
and the strict observance Of rank and of social posi-
ton After the hour of battle, there no longer
any relations between the officers and the privates
Whilst the French officers always mingle with their
men, constantly occupy themselves with The means
of supplying their wants, the English officers re-
main inactive if not Indifferent this is the affair of
the government. On the other hand, they have the
highest possible sense Of honor and of their duty
aHd will perform the most heroic actions. The
English soldiers are somewhat Of the same stamp
as their officers they fight dmiraby but keep bad
watch, and are not very good for work. They re-
quire to have paid hands for this latter purpose 1t
is an army splendid in battle, but it is not made for
undergoing suferings.
The organization is bad, because it is incomplete
and because proper administrative services do not
exist. 1t is shown that the French army, on the
contrary, is essentially calculated to support suffer
ing and consequently war also, provided there be
constant emotions to keep alive such exotable
imaginations. kind offamiliarity exists in the re-
lations of the officers with the men, and the part
of the superior officers kind sympathy which
supports and encourages. There is sort Of union
in all the degrees Of rank in the French army
But what appears most striking in that army is that
ready aptitude of the French officsrs which is so
remarkable. Many ofthem, it is said, are deficient
in education; but the presence of mind natural in
the nation replaces it. by Transforming itself on the
spot into practical instinct which renders them
skilfulin drawing the greatest possible advantages
from the most different elements. 1t is owing to
this that so many men are found, who, after two
months service, make good sub officers, and in
twelve months efficient officers. 1t is remarked
that the natural vanity of the French serves them
ia this respect wish to attract attention is the
occasion Of acts of valor and jokes which cause
laughter and support the mind. Each man wishes
to Guido his comrades There is the same rivalry in
cooking their food in firing their musket, or in
giving proof intelligence. The administrative Or
ganizatiou, it must be understood works regularly,
and it appears to be principal object of the atten-
ton of the General-in Chief, who watches over it
personally.

The low stage of the river and the unfayorable
cotton news from the principal markets have

Money is comparatively easy, very little first class

that the bulls are intimidated and can't carry them

of the season, and one Of the greatest ourages on

Versailles, KY, recently, who rose up in body

dulty to believe that he could get the money for
them at the Bank Now in the name of common
honesty, what would the good people have done
in the event that the gentleman had persisted and
demanded payment? Has it come to this, that a
Bank shall throw out its promises to pay, and the
confding public receive them-but should any one
prefer money to them, the people crowd the Bank,

GEN. SHIELDS-THE FRUITS OF UNHOLY COALT.
TIONS

TIONS.
One of the evil results of the spread of unsound
doctrine and of the unhoy leagues and coalitions
that prevail is the loss to the country of the SER
vices of some of the ablest and most sterling De-
mocrats A common ambition and a natural af
Gnity have concurred to ally variant isms, and to
cement hitherto antagonistc factions 1t is Ike the
bond that binds together dishonest men, who how
ever much they may separately hate one another,
have yet stronger common hatred OF those who
are honest.
One of the last, as he is one of the noblest VIC
tins that has fallen beneath the axe of this trait
orous coalition, is that gallant soldier and able
statesman, General Shields, of Illinois. Such an
execution, instead Of degrading the victim, only
gives an unenvable Importance to the exeoutoner.
1t is by such excesses it is by striking down such
shining victims, that the opposition will attain a
wider notoriety, and change what was an almost
plying contempt into feeling of unmixed horror.
The butchers who have slain kings and drunk he
blood of maiden princesses, have pleaded the gen.
erous fanatcism of the patriot in Justification of
the monstrous cruelties Of the man. But they who
strike down the devoted Tribunes Of the people,
the stesdest friends of the Constitution and of
the institutions of the States, those who are our
statesmen in peace and our soldiers in war, can
plead no such generous plea as patriotism.
Senator Shields is victim to his adherence to the
Constitution, his support Of the Nebraska bin; and
his sound, unwaverng, and unntmidated Democ-
racy. Such martyrdom is verify crown of glory.
It sheds new lustre on the martyr, and covers
his prosecutors with new odium
The trading politicians, the foul Abolitiouists,
the clandestne Know-nothings, of Illinois, all COM
bined to defeat the reelection of General Shields
to the Senate They have accomplished their OBJ
ject. Can sound men, either in the North or the
South boast of the exploit? We think not. Can
the Wings of the South, who are fast joining the
new secret order. deem his defeat their triumph?
We think not. 1t is the defeat of those sacred
guarantees with which the Constitution guarded
the rights of the State Such victories often re-
peated will altogether ruin the South Wash. SIM
