LArrsr NEWS FROM EUROPE.
An armistiee agreed upon 5etween The
conteading powers.

eN'sse'''''I E~NN'e'
BY the arrival Of the Ara5ia at New
York, on the 9lst inst, the most cheering
news from the seat of.the European war
greets the ear of all the peace-loving on
this side as we'll as ON the other side of
the Atlantic. On the 7th inst, an arm
istice was agreed upon between the con-
tending powers, extending to the 18th of
August. Peace is now confidently hoped
for. The London Times believes peace
will soon be restored The announce
ment of the armistice has produced the
most cheering results on change in all
the principal cities in Europe as we'll as
in the United States. 1t is stated that
the proposal for the armistice came from
France, and was the result of the EN-
perors own determination. During the
cessation of hostilities, it is not improba-
bic that negotiations of peace may be Sc
riously considered, and some basis for the
final settlement of all difficulties matured.
From the Detroit Free Press, 9th.
On the 18th inst. treaty of peace was
concluded between France, Sardinia and
Austria, thus terminating the war in less
than three months from the time it COM
menced. The terms of the treaty, ac-
cording to the dispatch of the Emperor
Napoleon, embrace the following points:
l. An Italian Confederacy to be es.
tablished under the honorary presidency
of the Pope of Rome;
2. Austria resigns all her right in
Lombardy to the Emperor Napoleon,
who, in his turn, transfers the whole prov
ince TO Sardinia, thus uniting Lombardy
and Sardinia into one kingdom;
8. The Emperor Of Austria preserves
his right to rule over Venetia, but she will
form an integral portion of the Italian
Cenfederacy.

;urious effects which such transfer oil
the capital and labor would have upon
the South, or that it would so greatly re-
tard the progress and prosperity OF those
States upon which this drain of their very
hearts blood would fall, that it would
take generation for them to recover
from the effects!
In case Of war with either France or
England, with their immense preponder,
ance of national marine, the island would
be taken from our hands at once. 80
the hey to the Gulf would prove but a
skeleton key after all in military point
of view. it is stated that Cuba is ours,
by the laws of manifest destiny; very like
". but then let manifest destiny make
her ours, and not borrowed money.
Twenty-Five or fifty years from this, we ",
cannot say that the United States will
not need Cuba or Central America, over
which to spread our people, but for the
present we cannot see the necessity.
IfPresident Buchanan would do some
thing truly advantageous and useful, let
him urge upon Congress to improve the
Lake Hartors. Let us deepen the st.
Clair Flats. And after these, let us COM

the State road alone, for any attempt 10
force it through, would involve the iowa,
and the individuals composing the town
board, in litigation, in which they would
no doubt come out second best" This
is certainly refreshing. 1t sounds very
much like the bark of a certain party, who
whiffet like, has stood and barked at the
town board, for the last two years, and
don't know but they think that the critter'
will bite. And whys Because his farm
was in danger of being served as evay

son and North Pepin.
The fact is this Citizen, is well "aware
that another year will see the lane one OF
the best roads in the township"
That would be an encouraging an
nouncement if it was not the third year
thai a similar one had been made. The
public have come to Look upon them as
the fitful CLEAN of the Will-o' the Wisp so
often seen in Doggy grounds But If you
do really intend to make that lane passa-
BILE, I would suggest that you bring to
your aid the wonderful properties of the
water in that vicinity. 1t is a well known
fact that the water in that neighbor-
hood is possessed of most remarkable pet
rifying qualities. A frog has been chan
eed to solid stone in four weeks! Now
if the road master of that district would
cause that lane to be we'll filled with straw
up to the high water mark, have no
doubt that the next June freshet, would
convert the whole into solid pavement.
I hope that the tax payers of that road
district will make the road all that Justice
predicts, for it would be a great accom-
mediation to those living on it; but that
it would greatly accommodate the pub
lie, I beg leave to doubt. 1t is at least,
eighty rods farther than by the State road
in dry time
By the way, Mr. Justice, are you quite
sure that the lane is legal roads Elk

the oldest inhabitants that it had been

establishes it according to our Statutes;
and it is barely possible that the lane is
not entitled to all the road work in thai

Cuba.

The insane lust of the President for
Cuba is more than laughable it is posi-
lively ridiculous. A few days since the
telegraph announced that an Admins
traiion Senator had introduced bill pro-
posing to place at the disposal of the
President $3O,OOO,OO0 for the commence
ment of negotiation for the Island of
Cuba. On the same day the telegraph
announced that the deficiency at the close

After squandering the inheritance of an
overlooking treasury and confessing to
the world the bankruptcy of the govern
meut. the ''insane old man" proposes to
buy Cuba. Now, supposing the country
was not embarrassed; that the treasury
was plethoric with gold, could it not be
expand for better purpose than the pur-
chase of Cuba? We make bold to say it
could.
What is Cuba! An island not so
large and no more fertile than the State
of Wisconsin; containing about the same
number of white inhabitants. It's pro-

RELIGIOUS MoNoMoNIA.-A few days
since lady residing in St. Paul, who has
for some time been a consistent member
of the church, became so excited on the
subject of religion, as to exhibit signs of
insanity. Her friends fearing she medita-
ted selfdestruction, watched her with at
tention. but she availed herself of mode
they least suspected, by drinking boiling
aoater from tea kettle then standing on
the stove. There is but little hope of her
life, though she has recov cred from her
mental delusion.

Poor Poetry.

A celebrated lecturer in speaking at
the opening of a young ladies' Academy,
said;-
81 hope you will not teach poetry
here-I mean what some people call the
science of composing poetry. If it will
come from some of these youths, let it
come, but don't force it. l feel about
the writing of poetry like the Methodist
preacher who was giving charge to a
class meeting about some regulations.
When in the midst of bis charge, one
old lady let slip shout.-N ow, said he,
brethren and sisters, since the subject of
shouting has como up, I'll give nv
views on the subject. Never shout from
a sense of duty. If you feel that you
can't hold in, why then shout, but not
otherwise. I hope then that no one here
will ever write poetry from a sease of du-
ty. Poetry is despicable. unless it is first
class. Poor poetry is about the meanest
of all mean things. AS the Latin satirist
has said, Neither gods nor men can en-
dure it.

Negro Breeding.

The reason why the first families of
Virginia are now so much addicted to
negro breeding, is, that the profits are ut
terly enormous-far beyond even that of
the slave trade. A healthy negro woman
can be purchased for $1,000. If she
lives twenty-five years she will raise chill :
drea that would sell for $40, 900; all the
while, too, the woman supporting herself
by her labor. 1t is no wonder that in
view of the startling results, the sordid
spirit of negro breeding rules the policy
of a State once distinguished for the no.
bility of its sons.

We do not publish it because it has al

The papers are full of contradictory

Slavery.

Mr.. Keitt, discoursing in Congress on
the subject of slavery, said:
"Talk of humanity and civilization!
Sir, humanity and civilization are indis-
solubly entertained, and their initial point
is in slavery, the ordinance of God which
commands that our bread shall be eaten
in the sweat of our brow"
This is very cool on the part of Mr..
Keitt, considering the fact that he eats
his bread entirely in the sweat of other
peoples brows instead of bis own.
