The Washington Gto6e in recent article upOE
the extent population and resources Of the Island
Of Cuba, gives some reliable data Of general inter
est to the American people. As the subjeet is one
now much talked shout, we make the following sb.
straot for The benefit cf our readers.
Cubs is the largest and most important OF the
West Iniia Islands, and commands the entrance
70 the Gulf Of Mexico, whence is has been cal Ell
the Key TO the Gulf It is about seven hundred
miles ia length snd seventy in trsedih, and con
taius vi h lis dependencies, s2,So3 square mics
being nearly ,qual in extent TO Great Britain.
TIE climate is deli hlful and very healthy, for
which reason it is fsyorite resort for invalids.
Even on the top Of the Grand Anlills, the chief
range Of mountains running through the Island
from end to end there has scarcely ever been ice,
and then only a. few lines thick The seasons are
not distinguished ss summer and winter, bat as the
vet and she dry, though the periods which they
begin and end are not very well defined The rainy
season commonly begins in May, but sometimes in
April aad occasionally not till June.
The soil very fertile, but as in many other trOP-
zeal countries the people too sluggish to oulti-
yate Il TO any great extent. The chief agricultural
productions are sugsr, coffee, tobacco, mauiOo, and
maize Toe work the plantations is done almost
exclusively by negroes whose condition is far
than that Of the slaves in the United States The
whipping post is in constant use. As al instance
Of the great fertility OF the soil, Trumbul states
that in the district Of SsguS la Graude, caballeri,
Of land which is nearly equal to thirty three acres
has b, en- knoWu to produce two hundred and eighty
thousand pounds Of the fair colOred MuscOvadO
sugar of that country, being nearly equal to four
moderate zsd hogsbCads per acre.
Tee population is made up Of Creoles and ne
groes, III latter forming about one-third. The
Creoles, like heir Spanish ancestors are iutslli
gent, but ipdolsnt The negroes are not allowed to
be either.
There are in the island several szoellsnt copper,
iron, and coal mines, which would be very PrOduS-

in the contemplate trick which was resOrted to in
the late judi isl election to defeat Judge Wright 1t
is sn additional proof Of the corruption Of the
Know Nothing party, that they not only disregard
