geA. A correspondent Of the Louisville
Courier predicts that the following will be
the ticket selected by the Democratic Con
vention, which is, to assemble at Frankfort
on the 9th Of January: !
For Governor-Linn Boyd of McCrack-
For Lieutenant Governor E. Simms,
of Bourbon.
For Auditor-Robt Mckee, of Mason.
For Treaswer-James II. Garrard, of
Boyle.
For President Board Of Internal Improve
ments-James P. Bates, of Barren.
For Register-T. ]. Frazier, of Breathitt.
For Superintendent Public Instruction
Grant Gree, of Henderson.
For attorney GeneraLAndrew j. James,
of Franklin. &
The same correspondent gives utterance
to the following highwaymen sentiments;
should like to see the Democratic State
Convention on the 9th, take decided grounds
on this question. We need Cuba, and must
have it, peaceably if we can, forcibly if we
must. do not know, however, if it would
not be the better policy entirely to repeal
our neutrality laws, and allow some of our
adventurous spirits an opportunity to " col
onize" Cuba. 1t is truly humiliating that
the progressive spirit of Young America
should be checked by government so an
tiquated and imbecile as Spain. Cuba will
eventually be ours, by purchase, by coloni-
cation or by conquest. Spain had better
avail herself of the opportunity now afford
ed, and get good round price for the
island, rather than run the risk of losing il
without any remuneration whatever.

BsJR The following passage from lecture
of NJ. KossutE's on the characteristics of the
principal European nations, recently de-
livered in Edinburgh, is both acute and
striking:
NJ. Kossuth referred to the English word
Common sense" word highly character
istic of the national mind, but which had
no proper equivalent in either French or
German, the French sens comnup and the
German jeme,nsi'ln expressing ideas entire
ly different. On the other hand, the mas
ter-word of the French national character
was esprit which defed the whole philo-
logical profession to translate into English.
The essence of the German character was
expressed by the word gen,uth; but, take
Oxford and Cambridge, take the Sorbonne
and French Academy, and every French
and English scientific circumlocution-office,
and though they pounded them all to pow
der and dust, they would not make one par
ticle of German gentth, either in English
or French. The Hungarian was, to his
knowledge, the only language possessing
both the English " common sense and the
German gemt,th, but the French esprit il
had not. ssaa as
M. Kossuth showed that Germany had
produced the printing press and the Refor-
nation, and continued: People in Eng
land will say, :" | am an Englishman; I"
there you have the article of individuality
"an, and there you have the 'sman." You
have him in the Scotchman, Irishman, no
bleman, gentleman, alderman, yeoman, the
livsryman, and the old form of address,
" Ye men of England" everywhere you
meet the oman" The designation of ma
tionality, rank, Office, are but adjectives
with him; the man is the substantive
Your neighbhr there across the Channel
win not say that he is Frenchman he
will say that he is French, he drops his per-
sonality and makes himself an adjective,
his country is his substantive. Verify, the
language OF a nation is the mirror of its
| character. Hence the French genius cen
tralizes; the English individualizes: The
French can tell Of great State; the Eng
| lish of a free nation, whiehneyer feared, nor
| never will fear any power on earth.

W Looking, this morning, into Mr..
Dennistoun's C Memoirs of Sir Robert
Strange, and of Andrew Lunisden,' %
an exceedingly interesting book, by the
way--1 found an anecdote of the uses
of the hoop, which, if not exactly new,
is interesting at this time, when men
are getting up sort of war-whoop
against that feminine prison. Strange
was eourting Isabella Lumisden, IN
1746, when Charles Edward came to
Scotland, and took Edinbergh, where
the young couple were living, The
lady belonged to Jacobite family, and
was herself, a most jealous supporter
of the Stuart cause. She compelled
her lover to leave his peaceful profes-
sion of an engraver, in which he was
to achieve such distinguished rank, and
to enter the rebel army.
After Culloden, Strange, like many
other Scotch gentleman, was in 'shid-
ing" One day some Of the Duke Of
Cumberland's 'red-coated hell dogs got
sight of him, and gave chase. Strange
ran to a house hard by, and dashed
into room where the lady whose zeal
had enlisted him into the fatal cause
sat singing at her needlework, and fail
ing other means of concealment, was
indebted for safety to her prompt in
tervention. As she quickly raised her
hooped gown, the atfianced lover dis
appeared beneath its ample contour,
where, thanks to her cool demeanor
and unfaltering notes, he lay undetect-
ed, while the rude and baffied soldiery
vainly ransacked the house.
Let toose who are comdemning the
hoop and rediculing it, show, if they
can, any other kind of gown that could
have .beed used TO save life SO prompt
y as Miss Lumisden's hoop"

How SOLDIER FEELS IN BATTLE.
A young French officer thus writes
of his first experience in battle:
Our officers kept us back. for we
We're not numerous enough to charge
upon the enemy. This was moreover
most prudent, for this murderous fire
so fatal to the white coats-did us but
little harm. Our conical balls pene-
trated their dense masses, while those
of the Austrians whistled past our ears
and respected our persons. 1t was the
first time l had faced fire, nor was /
the only one. Well, l am satisfied
with myself. True, lodged the first
balls, but Henry ", they say, did the
same at the beginning of every battle.
1t is, in fact, physical effect, indepen-
dent of the will. ae1f
But, this tribute paid, if you could
only feel how each shot electrifies you.
1t is like whip on racers legs. The
balls whistle past you, torn up the earth
around you, kill one, wound another,
and you hardly notice them. You
grow intoxicated, the smell of gunpow-
der mounts to your brain. The eye be-
comes bloodshot, and the look is fixed
upon the enemy. There is something
of all the passions in that terrible pas
sion excited in soldier by the sight of
blood and the tumult of battle.
Everybody who has tried it testi-
fies to the peculiar intoxication that is
produced by being in battle. There
is an infatuating influence about the
smell of powder, the shrill whistle OF a
bullet, and the sight of the human
blood, that instantly transforms men
from towards to heroes-from women
sometimes to monsters. None can tell
of the nature or mystery of that influ-
ence but those who have been in the
fray themselves.

There is almighty God above.
Does not the thunder's distant sound,

Does not the oceans mighty roar
Prove that there does God exist.
Do not the mountains as they stand,
Do not the oceans as they lie,
Surrounded by living green,

Mr.. Samuel H. Hammond, in letter
to St. Louis gentleman, dated March
Sd; 1859, tells the following incident
of his editorial experience: Bsds usaE
While I edited the Albany Register
/ offended -blooded member of the
F. Fs. Of New York. He sent po-
lite invitation, through friend, for me
to visit Baltimore. Having no business
in that direction 1 declined. He again
through his friend invited me to visit
Canada. Having just returned from a
fishing excursion to the interior of her
Majesty's colony and having no .oc-
oasion to go that way, / again de-
clined.
He then, in direct terms, invited me
to name friend and time, weapons and
place, to indulge in the pleasant pastime
of cutting each others throats. i
thought the matter over, and declined
a third time, assigning the following
reasons;
L. The thing was contrary to law,
and / had no desire to be hung for kill
ing him; or that he should be hung for
killing me.
2. / had wife who loved ME, and
who would mourn for me if fell. He
had only mistress, who would rejoice
at his death, as relieving her from the
necessity of flying from his protection
to that of some other man.
8. / had three children, for whose
education l was in honor and by ma
ture bound to provide. lie had none.
4. Society had no stake in his life.
His continuance would be no blessing,
and his extinguishment no loss. So
ciety had claims on me-upon him it
had none. / had some on society-he
had none. es f.
5. I'd see him id first.
There the matter has rested ever
since. ~ soy
