CUBA-SLIDELL-THE PREsIpENcY.-The fol-
loving paragraphs from Washington letter in
the Republican, show that old Buck keeps an
idea on Cuba, and that John Slidell of Louisiana
wants to be President, and is going abroad TO
keep from daPasing his own prospects! Verify
a politician is cute animal. Here are the ex-
tracis:-
The report that Mr.. Sl'dell has accepted the
French mission is probably true, although stoutly
conradicted by his friends here. Mr.. S. has said
over and often he would not accept the mission
under any state of circumstances, but understand
Mr.. Buchanan urges his acceptance as a matter
of public importance just at this crisis. In other
words the President desires TO have confidential
friend al the Court of 81. Cloud, with whom he
can communicate freely, and of whom Louis M
poleon can say 10 Spain, ''If you need funds here
is the very man to make financial arrangement
with you"
On the other hand, il Is said, that as candi-
date for the succession in 1860, Mr.. Slidell had
better be absent from the country. He has Just
carried the State of LOUISIANA and secured an en-
dorsement of himself and the administration by
the Democratic party there. Now he can retire,
and if the State be lost in the next he can
attribute il, not to his weakness unpopularity,
but to his absence from the State.

GOVERNOR WISE AND THE Presidency.
The Milledgeville (Ga.) Federal Union
says: elf Gov. Wise enterts;ned the remo-
test idea of being the nominee Of the Charles
ton Convention fer. the Presidency, he may
trouble himself no longer with such vain i'm
aginings. The result Of the late election in
Virginia runs down Wise stock to fve cents

will point to him as the man who is respon-
sible for the small vote for Letcher.''

Home Life.

Here are some very judicious remarks
on a much needed reform in this county.
The homes Of America will not become
what they should be until true idea Of
life shall become more widely implanted
The worship Of the collar does more TO de-
grade American homes, and the life Of those
homes than anything all things else.
Utility is the good of almost universe! wor-
ship. The chief end of life is to gather gold
and that gold is counted lost which hangs
picture upon the wall, which purchases
flowers for the yard, which buys toy or a
book for the eager hand of childhood. Is
this the whole Of huinan life? Then it is o
mean, meager and most undesirable thing.
A child will 60 forth from such home as
horse will 90 forth from stall-glad to
find fresh air and wider pasturage. The
influences Of such home npon him in after
life will be none at all, or nothing good.
Thousands are rushing from homes like
these every day. They crowd into cities
and into villages. They swarm into all pla-
ces where life is crowned with higher sig
nifcance; and the old shell Of home is de-
serted by every bird as soon as it can fly
Ancestral homestead and patrimonial acres
have no sacrsdness; and when the father
and mother die, the strangers presence OBJ
literates associations that should be among
the most sacred Of all things.
I would have you build up for your
selves and for your children home which
will never be lightly parted with-a home
which shall be 10 all whose lives have been
associated with it, the most interesting and
precious spot on earth. would have that
home the abode of dignity, propristy, beau
ty, grace, love, genial fellowships and hap
py associations. Out from such home |
would have coed influences flow into neigh
borhoods and communities. In such home
l would see noble ambition taking root, and
receiving all generous culture. And then
l would see you, young husband and young
wife, happy. Do not deprive yotTself Of
such influence as will come to you through
an institution like this. No money can pay
you for such a deprivation. No eircurn-
stances but those of utter poverty can JUS
tify you in denying these influences TO your
children.

THE FRENCH GUxs,-The marseilles
pondent of the Times, writing on the
25th oil May. says:
Detailed information which has been re-
ceived from the seat of war relative to tie
slight artillery action near Valenza, in
which the riied four Founders were first
brought into action, has afforded great sat-
isfaction to military men, and has quieted
many apprehension., by demonstrating the
practical utility and immense superiority Of
the new arm. The telegram is confirmed
that the range was owe: $500 metres (2734
yards J, upwards Of mile-snd-a-half. The
accuracy of the fire was no less surprising
than the range, and the destructive effect
was still mora marvellous. Those who
may have witnessed the experiments at
Vincennes, when the solid masonry forti-
ffcations were shattered by a few rounds
and yards Of stone revetment were tumbled
down, were scarcely prepared for the re-
suits ,obtained at Valenza against earth
works. After FIVE rounds, the forti6ca-
tions of the Austrians were reduced to
ruins.
1t is believed that the effect were due
mainly to the long range, and that at short
distances the fire would have been far less
destructive, as the shot would have made a
clean hole. To understand fully the advan-
tages of the rified gun, it should be re-
meE bered that the Napoleon cannon-a
light II pounder-cannOt be relied upon
for ranges beyond 1000 yards, and that the
infantry rifles will not carry more than 800
yards with accuracy. The Frencn author
tiles have represented to an officer Of for
eign army ,hai.they have 200 Of these rified
cannon in Piedmont, and here an artillery
officer said they had 20 batteries or l2O
guns. There is good reason, however, TO
believe that both statements are exaggera-
ted, and had evidence to-day that the re-
sources of France in Modern artillery are
exhausted, This morning the batteries that
were embarked were all smooth bored gins.
examined one Of them and found 10 my
surprise, that it was anjeight-punder, cast
at Toulouse, November l4,h, 1851, and en-
graved with the republican motto Libert',
Egalit., Fraterniie, and near the muzzle
with the name of French victory, Baui-
zen. This fact speaks volumes, and prove
that, with all the progress which had been
made during the last eight years, and the
expenditure during the Russian war to pro-
vide specimens Of the new arm, re-organ-
ization Of the French artillery is not sufi-

National DemOcfacy--A Portrait.
The following graphic portrait of the National
Democracy is drawn by the master hand of the
Charleston Mercury, one Of the ablest and most
uncomproinising organs of the Southern wing Of
the Democratic party. The Mercury seems TO
be pretty well convinced now, that the ''National
Democracy" is humbug-a cheat--an imposi-
ton Hear what it says:
ave have seen nothing in National Democracy
Of late years which challenges our admiration, to
say nothing Of our allegiance.

Can't Rejoice at It.

Some Of the extreme. Southern Democrats
see nothing to rejoice at in the triumph Of
John LrrcHrn, in Virgins. The, Mobile
Southern Leagsx thus express its opinion.
ave have hardly believed the Telegram
which reports the election Of John Lstcher
the Abolitionist::of the Valley Of Virginis.-
1t confirms the opinion we have often ex-
pressed that Virginia was unsound upon
the subject of slavery, on the North Of the
James river and west of the Blue RIDGE
1t confirms, too, our opinion that the Stats
South Of that line must form a confederacy
of their own, to resist the encrsachiDg wave
os Black Republicans. We have long seen
the necessity Of Disunion, and now we in
woke our timid friends who have dreaded
dissolution Of the Union of the States, to
join the Southern League, en- masss, and
build anew the barrier which no longer ex-
lists on the banks of the Potomac. Let us
have our cherished Southern Confederacy
