A LADY SUFFERING FOR A DIVORCE.
The Eastern Slope, publish at Washoe
City, Nevada, reports the following pain
ful case of matrimonial infelicity,:
A divorce case was going on, with clos
cd doors, in Our District Court, the first
few days this week. We know nothing of
the merits of the case, but understand his
Honor, Judge Harris, did not feel justified
in allowance either party to 90 free. with
the privilege ofcheating anybodyelse in to
matrimony; and so dismissed the bill.
This is rough, especially on the lady.
She has not had divorce, now, for near
ly year and.a half; has had no change
from the monotony of exclusive matrimony
for over year, and her suferings have
grown excruciating. It is bad thing to
have man udge who was never married,
who knows nothing of the wants of afini-
ties, sometimes, on the part of married
people, and the dire consequences which
ineA itably enure in such an event. In
our opinion, no one but amarried man-or
woman-ever ought to preside over di-

are the Baltimore and Ohio, with SUN.

half miles. The Virginia Central is op.
Grated by the unaided locomotive dis

the Central Pacific is ll6 feet, of which
there are but three and half miles, the

REvoLUTIoNARY MOVEMENT IN CUDA.
We are reliably Informed that there
is a deep under current of politics in
the island of Cuba, which is designed
soon to develop into movement of
serious consequences. 1t has its
promptings in the recent attempt at
political revolution in the mother
country-the Spanish peninsular-
and it has for its special object the
return of Gen. Dulce to the Captain
Generals palace at the Havana. We
are assured that not only the politi-
clans, but the officers of the army
and navy, are deep in the scheme,
expecting, if it be successful, to secure
better pay and promotion.

ANOTHER MEETING. The colored
people Of Charlotte, n. c., held
meeting on last Saturday night, to
select delegates to convention to be
held in Raleigh. The Guardian says
"All spoke in a conciliatory man

gain the aid and counsel and good
feeling of our white citizens. We
were struck with the remarkable good
logic and sound advice of some of the
speakers to their colored friends, and
if they will bat follow the advice
given, much good must result there
from. One speaker said he had worked
harder since be las been free than he
ever did while IN slavery, and argued
that it was the dCty of his race to
work-that freedom did not give the
right to be Idle, ont the right to pro-
vide for ones self by his own free
will. Indeed, AL tile speakers gave

Trade with Baltimore.

The communities cf the Southern
States are under heavy obligations to
the people of Baltimore for the deep
sympathy selt by them for the suf-
ferers of our section-a sympathy SO
promptly manifested i'll the magnifi-
cent contributions which have been
sent us on several occasions.
Ii would be but u proper return
for this Kindness, that our merchants
should give the Baltimore market Il
fair trial III making their spring pur-
chases. Baltimore has Justly the re-
putation OF being the best market for
groceries in the country; but, be-
sides this, it would appear that her
stocks Of dry goods will also compare
favorablv with those OF mere North
ern markets. On this point, we cx-
tract the following paragraph from
the Wilmington DispotcA::
"Within few days, we have con-
verscd with Il dry goods merchant of
experience and reputation, who pur-
chased q stock in Baltimore q week or
ten days ago. and are informed that
goods can be had on as liberal terms
and at rs good prices i'll Baltimore as
in New York, Boston or Philadel-
phia. He also states that the charges
for transportation are much less by
rail from Baltimore than from New
York by steamer. and that goods are
forwarded with much less risk and
delay"
This being the case, interest and
gratitude combine to induce South
ern purchasers to give the markets Of
that city, whose people have done so
much for us in our hour of need, an
examination at least, before proceed
ing to the Philadelphia, New York or
Boston markets. The latter cities
may have superior attractions in the
way of amuscments, recreations, &c,
to those which Baltimore can offer;
but we opine that it might be
healthier in more respects than one
to patronize the noble people of the
latter city.

There are good reasons for anti
cipatinS this season q tide of imm;-
grafton from Europe ia excess of
that OF last year, enormous as it was.
German correspondence" published
in the Northwest represents the
preparations for emigration as un-
precedentel il their magnitude.
"They are by hundreds" declares
the ST. Paul Placer on the au-
thority Of German informants, and
the statement is colroborated by
much that has appeared IN ott!!lloG,
journals. The c:forts that some Of
of the Southern States are making
to draw white labor from Europe
Will also produce considerable effect.

dcmagogue-these are the men who
we now need to guide and direct tho
sentiments and conduct OF our peo-
pie. Have we not men of this class
in our State, men whose heroism
has been attested in the most trying
scenes of the recent terrible war,
upon whose valor and devotion the
people relied in the hour of conflict,
and who, since the close of the war,
have been the chief counselors of a
wise, peaceful and calm demeanor?
