SPAIN AND MEXICO.

LANCASTER, Oct 8, 1861 The proceedings
of Spain with respect to Mexico, probably in
connection with France and England, cannot
but be viewed with jealousy by this country
Could the truth be known, there can be little
doubt that England is at the bottom OF It,
France NAV have listened to her counsels, but
England is the instigator, and is thus seeking
by deeply laid scheme what she is not com
petent to do single handed. Mexico owes her
some sixty millions, but what is that in COM
parison with Mexican port and passage to
Texas to obtain cotton Perhaps she is aim
ing at something more, but this at least is in
tended and if she can only urge Spain, who,
by the way is largely indebted to her, to do
the work and be sure that France will not
chastise her for it, why all very well she will
have accomplished her object, and, what is es
pecially worthy OF attention, she Will have re-
NAMED friendly and neutral to the Jailed
States.
For the carry ing out of this scheme 1t is Tor
| the interest of England to be on good terms
| with the southern states, and TO secure their
co.opera,ion she sends them occasionally a
steamer like the Bermuda, more of which are
soon expected, laden with arms and ammuni
! ton and other military stores, although this
part of the programme COMFORTS very little
with neutrality to the United States, especially
as the above mentioned steamer sailed from
Liverpool, as it is stated, against the remon-
STRANGE of the American minister, Mr.. Adams
Besides, the plan requires that the slaves at
the south remain faithful to their masters, 9TH
erwise how could the cotton be transported to
the Mexican line when almost every able
bodied white man in the confederacy
is doing military service, and is likely to be
engaged in this business tor some time to
come Is it singular then, that the English
press should denounce the act Of General Fire.
mont, in proclaiming freedom to the slaves of
rebels in Missouri, as very iuJudlelous, al.
though but Il short time since-that is, before
the present scheme was cOncocted-it strongly
advocated the very policy which ii now con-
demns No doubt it fears, by proclaiming
liberty to the slaves generally, affairs would
become so desperate and such state OF anar'
chy naugurated in the south, that little cotton
would be forthcoming, even after Mexican

A. CARD.-Certain unprncipled vendors of Charcoal
are in the habit OF representing themselves as
being connected with the CITY CHARCOAL YARD and
palming off upon people their shoddy Charcoal as the
same thing in quality and price that sold from the city
yard These dealers in from the country and their
only OBJ dispose their load at the best prices
they get without regard to the means weteby thsy
gain the desired emil This card is published for the pnr
pose of warning those who wish to purchase from the
CITY CHARCOAL YARD not to be deceived by the slate
By these persons and fthey have any doubt
to the genuneness of their statements examine the
wagon The teams from the City Charcoal lard are
plainly marked and they will tell their own story The
best quality of birch and maple coal is always kept on
hand at the city yard and the prices are always the same

promptly supplied by leaving their orders at the AGENTS

THE HOME DIvIsIoN.-Thes quiet autumn
days afford fine opportunity for organizing
the home division Of the army of the Union.
In many camps the approaching winter will
be scarcely less hostile than the rebellion; but
it has already given ample notice of its coming
in the darkening foliage and the falling leaf.
Heaven, too, has kindly given us abundant
resources to outwit the season and to render
its sharpest and most dreary siege as harmless
as summer One of the Ohio camps, when
the old enemy of human comfort Jack Frost,
made his first charge, demanded that Brigadier
General Blanket should take the field. The
suggestion was very timely one and the
sooner the whole reserve is organized into
Blanket brigades, Stocking regiments, and
Little Comforts battalions, the better it will
be for the efficiency of the army, and the
more grateful will the hearts of scores Of
thousands OF brave men be.

It would he desirable to have abundant mpaos

inexplicaDle, except on the supposition Of Il

These facts lead us to suspect that neither

Thomas H. CLAY, worthy and gallant son
of Harry of the West, has written brief let
ter, in which he expresses his undying devo'
ton to the Union sentiments of his lustrious
father. He expresses his ardent confidence in
the triumph of the Union army on the soil Of
Kentucky, and is enthusiastic in anticipation
of that glorious result. "The fiery cross" he
says, sis cleaning everywhere; the friends of
the southern confederacy are fleeing from our
borders, and what will be left will be pure
gold with but little reasonable alloy. Beaten
back from Kentucky, the war must be carried
into their own territories, their leaders mnst
be surrendered, and the constitution and laws
must be yindicated'

SLAVERY AND THE WAR.-The rebels regard
slaves as property. So does the decision of
the supreme court. Why should it be held
more sacred than other kinds of property
Why should it be esteemed more wrong TO
confscate negro than to confiscate COW or
a horse? Nobody would think OF blaming the
government for Selling all the cotton or tobacco
OF rebel citizens, if thereby an effective blow
could be struck at the great conspiracy why
should it be blamed for "seizing" plantation
of darkies if they stood in its way? While
slavery should not be assaied as such, it
should be entitled to no special protection. 1t
should be placed on the same footing with
other rebel institutions and other rebel ma
terial interests 1t should be left to stand
upon its own bottom TO weather the storm
if it can, or succumb to it if it cannot. 1t
should be left to all the hazards and accidents
of the revolution should be subjected to the
inevitable strain and friction--lo the grinding
wear and tear of the conflict If it survives
the shock, very well; if it goes under, there
will be few mourners to follow II 10 It's grave.
The government has no strength to waste IN
boIstering up slavery. 1t has other and
Sterner duties to perform. The institution
must shift for itself.
