II is stated by one Of our European corre-
spondents that in the event Of war taking
place between England and Spain the British
government intends to seize and keep Cuba
Such plan may have been suggested, but we
do not think that any attempt will be made to
carry il out We Americans are O peaceful
people aud can stand q great deal, but we
would not stand that Spain can retain Cuba
As long ~ it, people choose to submit to her
rule, but when that terminates we will allow
no other European interloper to step in and
take possession Of IL. When the rebels fred on
Fort Sumter, al the outbreak OF the war, il
stirred up the country from one end to the
other. We do not believe that any other event
save the seizure Of Cuba by the English could
reproduce the same scenes Of excitement.
From the Aroostook to the Rio Grande the coun-
try would be in a blaze Of enthusiasm. and
before month had elapsed we should have at
least q million Of men under arms. In the
present depressed state Of our shipping bust
ness nothing could be more propitious. We
would soon have the ocean covered with pri.
vateers who would compensate ms by their
csptprea sHS the iniprv done 70 our commerce

There seems to be a fatality hanging over
the South. No matter how much events may
shape themselves in favor Of that unfortunate
section, something is certain to occur to
destroy their beneficial operation. When the
war was over and the North was nearly a unit
in support Of q conciliatory and generous
policy towards the defeated rebels, the assas-
sination Of Lincoln and the contemplated
destruction Of Seward and Grant reawakened
ell the bitter and vindic..ve feelings engen-
dered by the four years war; Now, as soon as
Wilson, Greeley, Underwood, Hayward and
their associates start on an incendiary political
pilgrimage through the Southern States, and do
acts that are condemned and deplored by the
Northern people and that threaten the destruc-
ton ofthe radical party, q few hotheaded, unre-
constructed rebels get up murderous riot and
again turn the tide Of popular feeling against
themselves. A few more such demonstrations
as that at Mobile win so incense the Northern
mind that Cancellation and generosity will be
no longer thought Of

II viii be remembered that after the capture
Of Jsf Davis Barnum advertised AZ an sxhibi
sion the hoop skirt and hood in which he
was taken. The bait tickled people, and We
believe some money was made by 1t. Now
that Davis himself is here we would suggest to
the Snowman to enter into an arrangement
with him. He would draw better than the
woolly Horse, the Bearded Lady, or the Feejes
Mermaid. For any other career the ex-Prcsi

There is no living writer who understands
the value Of publicity better than Alexander
Dumas. He rarely utters . smart saying or
writes letter.to the newspapers without calcu-
lating its effect Once in q while, however,
he gets caught. The other day he entered into
copartnership (of course literary and dra-
matic) with Adah Isaacs Menken, who has
fooled more men than any actress on the stage.
She got him to 60 to Paris photographers,
where their joint likenesses were taken in
variety Of attitudes more loving than digniied.
The caricaturists got hold Of them and turned
them to pungent account. Thereupon Dumas
commenced an action against the photo
grapher, contending that the portraits were
sold without his permission, being intended
for fancy and not for publication. N.
Liebcr, the party sued, makes a defence
showing that his settlers calculated on an ex-
tensive circulation Of the pictures, and that II
was only when their vanity got hurt by the
ridicule lavished upon them that they laid the
blame on his shoulders. He very justly says
that he would not have gone 70 the trouble and
expense which they cost him II be had not
counted upon making . profit on bis work.
The Judgment Of the court has not been rem
dered as yet, but there 10 very little doubt
that II viii be in the defendants favor People
who court notoriety should not quarrel with
1t when Il comes in shape that is not alto
gether agreeable. Perhaps, II the truth were
known, the veteran romancer Is clicked TO

A cable announcement, which we printed in
yesterdays HERALD, informs us that the Candi-
otes still maintain an unequal struggle against
their Turkish masters. The hubbub which
has been got up in connection with Luxem-
burg has made the world forgetful Of Crete.
Some short time since we learned that Omar
Pasha, Of Crimean war notoriety, had been APP
pointed to the military command in the island.
and had gone thither with large reinforce
ments. Even the terror Of his great name,
however, has not frightened the Cretans into
submission. Rather than yield, they seem re-
solved to eight it to the death. In recent en-
gagement, the battle being general, Omar
Pasha and his Turks sustained defeat at their
hands. We have no hope at all that the Chris
tians, unaided, will ever be able to drive the Mus
sulmans from the island. II is impossible. The
war has been and must be unequal and unless
aid in some way comes from without, il must but
be war OF determination. The time, we think,
has now come when interference is called for.
The struggle has been maintained long enough
to entitle the weaker party to something more
than sympathy and respect. The Ottoman
government has had sufficient time to suppress
the insurrection. Il has not been able TO do So.
The civilized Powers Of the world would now
be perfectly justified in interfering to prevent
unnecessary bloodshed. The Cretan affair is
not boundary question, like that Of Luxem-
burg. II 10 humanity question, and comes
home, no. to special nations only, but to all
hearts in all nations. The voice Of the suffer-
ing Cretans has been sounding over the earth
for the last eight or nine months, and while it
speaks to Ms all Of suffering nobly endured and
sacrifice nobly made, il does at the same time
piteously call for help. Has America nothing 70
say in behalf Of the interests ofhumanityf Might
she not initiate the example Of England, and, BY
becoming the instrument Of settling grander
than the Luxembarg dinculty, entitle herself
to the gratitude. not Of the Cretans alone, bull
Of the whole worldi Unless something Il
promptly done the volcanic elements Of Hu-
ropean society, suppressed In Tho West, will
burnt forth with redoubled violence in the
East The volcanic forces have been bul
checked, not destroyed, by Ne efforts put
forth in London.

Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens, in his recent
interview with the New York Herald
reporter, gives the following rs his
scheme of providing for the nation s
wards" Coniscation (not so very
''mild," however, is of course the
means by which this idea is to be
carried out. He says: 'I would
give every adult freedman, who was
the head of family, small holding,
say of forty or fifty acres, out Of the
lands of their former masters. If
could not find enough in the old
plantations upon which they were
owned, [ would make it up out of
the adjoining land, so that every
freedman might remain on the spot
where he was raised, and if he could
not find other labor, he could occupy
himself and support his family by
working his own farm at home. /
think this would be productive of
good to the whole country and to
all classes of men-to the former
masters as we'll rs to the former
slaves. The freedmen would then
be an Independent yeomanry, feeling
their own freedom and manhood
and solf-reliancc, which would be
better for them than the ballot.
This, sir, is what 1 would like to do,
if [ live and have the power to do
it. But at the present moment, con-
sidering the demoralizcd condition
of the Republican party-for it is
badly demoralized-I may content
myself with the payment Of the losses
of loyal citizens by the war, and the
provision of homesteads for the
freedmen, and with such mild con-
fiscation as may be necessary to ac-
complish these objects. L shall not,
under any circumstances, feed salts
fed with less than this.

GoLD.-Thc amount of gold mt
present i'll existence is estimated by
Il correspondent of the New York
Ercniiy Post at $3.50, 600, COO in
value. 1t may be of interest TO see
what tho bulk OF this amount OF gold
would be if it were I'LL melted and
run together. Pure god is more
than nineteen times rs. heavy rs
water. and cubic foot of water
weighs Il thousand ounces avoirdu-
pois. \ cubic foot of gold would
weigh then over 10, 200 ounces avoir-
dupois; and every such ounce of fine
gold is worth somewhat more than
eighteen dollars; so that the whole
cubic foot of gold would be worth II
little more than third Of million
dollars. 4 cubic yard OF solid gold
would be worth twentyseven times
rs much as that, or over 50. .000, 600;
and 660 cubic yards would contain
somewhat more than So, $50, 900, 600
of gold in the world. These 660
cubic yards would be contained with
in room about five yards high,
eight yards wide and sixteen yards
long, say n good sized parlor, or
store of moderate size. But" says
some one, "gold is so very malleable
that even this small bulk of it would
gild over the whole earth" But he
either over-estimates the malleability
of gold, or more likely under esti-
mates the size of the earth. 1t takes
1880, 900 leaves of the tl,innest gold
foil to make m inch in thickness, or
about fifteen millions and third
to make foot, or forty-six millions
to q yard. A cubic yard of gold,
then, could be beaten out so as to
cover 46, coo, 600 square yards-somc-
what less than 1000 acres, for there
are 4,S4O square yards to the acre.
Then, as there are $40 acres to the
square mile, the whole G60 cubic yards
of gold could be beaten out so as to
cover about 10000 square miles.
Thatis, tract only 100 miles square,
less than the extent of Vermont, and
little more than one-fifth of either
New York or Pennsylvania

ALL EUROPE on BREEZE. The

ALL EUROPE on BREEZE. The
New York Times says:
'It is a gala year, not for France
alone, but for all Europe, and not for
prince and pontif' merely, but for
the people. The reviews, the pa
geants, fairs, singing festivals, shoot
ing matches, which summer always
brings, are this year doubly brilliant.
In London, they are talking of a
monster volunteer review; in Hun
gary, they still celebrate the corona
tlon; Germany is crowned with gar
lands and flowing with beer; in
Switzerland, they are to have won
derful singing festival of choral socie-
ties, this month, atGeneva, and in the
canton of Neufchatel the famous
Ter fieeleral, or national target shoot
ing, bids fair to be unprecedented in
attraction. The amount of the prizes
raised for this last affair already
reaches an almost incredible sum
and thousands of malksmen will par,
ticlpate. One would think that Cen
tral Europe, mindful of the stormy
year last past, and presaging storm
Ter year to come, were determined to
have its fill of pleasure while peace
remains"

The New Herald has given up the
interference of Russia in the affairs
of ireland, and has turned its atten-
ton to Mexico. A correspondent in
Washington gives the following de-
tails of o movement that is said to be
in projection:
War with Mexico is already con-
cOcted at the White House. The
programme is developed somewhat
on the Polk and Pierce plan. The
Democrats are to ring the changes of
"On to Mexico" on the Maximilian
dodge, larding it with pretended
censure of Seward, just enough to
blind the radicals to its partisan cha
racter. Seward is to take up the
Santa Anna affair as an international
matter and manipulate it vigorously
into casus deNi, tho old general
having agreed to the risk OF his pre-
sent captivity for the sake of his
share OF the spoils and glory. The
President will remain quiet i'll the
White House, send in his fourth re-
construction veto promptly, give no
occasion for further business in Con-
gress, and thus secure an early adj
Journmcnt. Then Seward is to tlnllle
his little bell without let or hindrance
Meanwhile. the Austrian officers arc
TO await III Havana for Stewards
signal. john b. Weller is to sound
the tocsin on the Pacific coast; He
received his cue more than two
months ago, at the White House, and
is now hobnobbing with Stctdman
at New Orleans, who is placed there
to occupy Il local point for tillibus-
tcrin%. Rousseau is held ip reserve
for Secretary OF War, in place Of
Stanton; and if that cannot be effect
ed. is; to snpcrSedc Sheridan in Texas,
and organize. \ Dutch nobody rep
rcsents us at the City of Mexico; the
Church party il Mexico are in c4hooi
with Santa Anna and Seward; an
Aua..ian fleet is to play its part on
the coast. The plot is maturcd, the
train laid, and it only awaits the
adjournment Of Congress and the
tinlllc of Stewards bell to touch the
match and fire the train. The Ides
of next March are to see Santa Anna
military governor OF HIoXico, enjoy
ing in security his extensive Mexican
estates, beneath the protecting folds
of the stars and stripes. President
Johnson is to redeem his administra-
ton with this new extension of the
area of freedom, and make IL vigor-
ous run for second term Of Office.
The White House is again, rs in lS46,
the centre of an active cabal, which
will soon draw the attention OF the
nation from the present doinss OF
Congress and concentrate it on Sc
wards coup detT. The decree has
already gone forth, and its echo will
como back from Mexico about the
time of the adjournment of Congress,
or soop thereafter.

am, at Reidville, was totally de-
stroycd by fire on Sunday night, the
