THE TAX LEvY-RAIsrNa THE WIND.-We
see now the exact meaning of that little letter
Of Mayor Halls on city improvements. He
sketched out in said letter a fine programme
for the realization in this city Of some of those
comforts and elegancies that the age has seen
grow up in so many great cities, and then, at
its close, said the Mayor had not power to
carry this all out, and illustrated his meaning
by the story of an earnest clarionet player,
who, being encored, said that If he was to
play again some one else must furnish 20
wind" Now, following that little letter, Mayor
Hall appears in the Legislature adding to the
tax-levy three millions three hundred and fifty
eight thousand seven hundred and ninety dol
lars. Does he call that wind? A pretty stiff
breeze but even to that people might not OBJ
ject IL there was any more than the usual
chance that the money would 60 the right
way. Three million dollars worth of improve
ment might do, but one million dollars worth
of Improvement and two million dollars worth
of enriched contractors and municipal jobbers
are not what we want.

The News from Cuba.

We publish elsewhere in our columns to-day
full and interesting letters from our correspond
ents in Cuba, giving the most clear and satsfac-
tory account Of affairs within the lines occupied
by the revolutionists that has yet been given
to the public. The reports are obtained from
intelligent American engineers who have been
engaged taking off the sugar crops of planta-
tons belonging to some of the insurgent chiefs,
and they bear on their face an appearance of
truthfulness which must be apparent to every
unprejudiced reader. From these accounts it
will be seen that the Spaniards have in every
instance exaggerated the numbers of their OPP
ponents, and when we consider how much has
lied bands against well armed and disciplined
troops we find it difficult to believe that the
revolution can be suppressed by the present
force which the Spaniards can put in the field.
The great efforts of both sides seem now to
be directed to the line of the railroad from
Nuevitas to Puerto Principe, which was de-
stroyed some months since by the revolution
lists. About seven thousand troops have been
concentrated by the Spaniards at Nuevitas for
this purpose, and our letters state that Ces-
pedes and a number of the principal leaders
under him were in the vicinity with Quesada,
concentrating their forces for the struggle.
The pictures which our correspondents give
Of social life among the Cubans, who have
taken to the woods to escape from Spanish
rule, indicate anything other than an early
surrender. From the other portions of the
island we have advices Of the presence of in
surgent bands in numerous places, but very
little in the way of active operations.

Affairs in Wall Street.

The wide fluctuations in stocks which have
been prevailing for some days past in Wall
street were premonitory Of sort of financial
storm which burst upon that locality yesterday
and produced great CONSERVATION. A decline
in fve-twenties at London, following an adj
vance in the Bank Of England rate of discount,
led to decline in bonds here and q rise in
gold to 1394-over three per cent in one day.
The excitement was suggestive of the war
days, when gold used to vfbrate so violently.
Simultaneous with this rise in gold there was
sudden decline in railway shares, and o
panic seemed impending at the Stock Ex-
change. The 'bulls" were in great trepida-
ton, particularly during the half hour around
five o'clock, when the building was closed and
the excited throng was locked out upon the
street. Towards six o'clock the crowd began
to question the necessity Of being guided by
the state of the money market in London,
and, with Yankee independence, took another
view of the situation, the result being quite
reaction, although the feeling was still nervous
when darkness drove them home.

recompense for the damages suffered by our
commerce from Anglo-rebel cruisers, and a
distinct disavowal Of Lord Russell's neutrality
and belligerent rights of 1861 as precedent
for the future guidance of England. Now, as
with the acceptance of this ultimatum the
most convenient settlement to both countries
will be the cession of British North America,
so with the rejection of this ultima
tum by England the occupation of the
New Dominion will be the most conve-
nient alternative for the United States.
For this alternative, upon a call for volunteers,
two hundred and fifty thousand trained SOL
der could be mustered along our Northern
border within sixty days. Senator Chambers
late speech on this subject was rather stump
harangue from Western demagogue than the
argument of q responsible American states
man but still his leading idea is fixed in the
public mind of the great Northwest Those
people, as to a natural outlet for their heavy
surplus products, are looking now to the OPEN
ing of the st. Lawrence to the sea with some
thing of the same feeling which led them
against the late rebellion to the reopening of
the Mississippi.
General Grant, as Western man, we
doubt not, is q believer in this whole pro-
gramme Of expansion, north and south. He
is, too, man Of war; but as President of the
United States it is manifest that his paramount
desire is peace, at home and abroad. Our
only apprehension concerning his foreign
policy is that his desire to avoid war may so
entangle him in diplomatic cobwebs and red
tape as to render him powerless to do any
thing in giving satisfactory shape and direc-
ton to the Cuban or the Mexican question, or
the Alabama claims. Upon all these questions,
moreover, the powerful interest of the bond
holders will be apt to prove drag upon the
administration. We rely, however, upon the
progressive ideas, sagacity and moral courage
of General Grant. sustained by the general
drift of public opinion, in our expectations of
foreign policy which offers not only the Con-
tinent for our occupation, but its boundless
resources from which to meet our national debt.

amounted to $328, 4O6, 757. The population OF
all the other States in the same year was
24,9l6, 765, and their exports $243, 202, 243.
Thus while the Southern States had but
twenty-eight per cent of the entire population,
they furnished sixty-nine per cent of the total
value of exports.
What is true Of the genial climate
and fertile soil of the South in general,
embracing, east of the Mississippi, Maryland,
Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
and, west of the Mississippi, Arkansas,
parts of Louisiana, and the great imperial
State Of Texas, which alone is equal to eight
such States as New York, in size, and almost
equal to the same number in productiveness--
what is true of the entire South is particularly
true of Virginia. That State, including West
Virginia, has an extent of 81, 352 square miles.
No other State in the Union has such variety
of surface, of climate and of products. To-
bacco, sweet and white potatoes, wheat and
other grain, the fig and the olive OF the
Promised Land-which lies in the same latitude,
and is shone upon by the same skies that the
patriarchs of the Bible were wont to gaze at
inexhaustible mineral wealth, coal, available
water power and increasing facilities of trans
port and communication, are among the in
ducements that invite the emigrant to Virginia.
A farm of three hundred or four hundred acres
can be purchased there for what it costs to 60
with family to the Northwest or to the Pa
cifc. Long credits are offered, 80 that q
farmer of moderate means can secure home
stead at less trouble and expense than any
where else. Moreover, the work of recon-
struction is steadily progressing in Virginia
and in all the other Southern States. 1t will
doubtless be completed before the Presidential
term of General Grant shall end. Those who
now emigrate South will enjoy sure prospect
of sharing in it's recovered prosperity and of
bequeathing to their children heritage of
solid wealth General Tochman and the other
Southern speakers at the meeting to which we
have alluded did not exaggerate the attrac-
tions of the South, and especially of Virginia,
as the country for the emigrant. The old war
cry, ION to Richmond" has now acquired q
new meaning. Southerners themselves have
adopted it as an appeal to Northerners to
''move on to Richmond with their hoes and
ploughs and spindles and mills, and help to
rebuild the Mother of States and of Washing
ton" Such an appeal cannot be made in vain.

TIE LATE OUTRAGE AT QUARANTINE.
We have been called upon by a number of
the passengers who came from Aspinwall on
the steamship Alaska, all of whom denounce
in very strong terms the act of Bully Swim
burne In forcing them to submit to the opera
ton Of vaccination at the Quarantine station.
We cannot help them to allay their wrath
further than to make the outrage public and
to call upon Governor Hoffman to Immediately
remove the obnoxious Health OnRcer.

for the Emigrant.
At meeting of the Fruit Growers Club, on
Thursday last, which was fully reported in
yesterdays HERALD, several Southern gentle
men described the South, with its vast and i'm
perfectly developed resources, as a land Of
promise for the emigrant. General Tochman,
tor instance, whose foreign birth precludes
him from being suspected Of sectional preju-
dices, and whose long residence in this country
qualities him to speak authoritatively on the
subject, presented glowing but not exag-
gerated picture Of the South as q most desir-
able home for emigrsnts from the North and
from Europe. Statistical tables show the rate
Of mortality to be less and that of longevity
TO be greater In the South than in the North
and West. The exports of the cotton, rice,
sugar and tobacco producing States are still,
as they were before the war, greater than the
exports of the North, East and West COM
bined. 'The war" said General Tocbman,
'has impoverished the people but has not
changed the climate nor destroyed the fertility
of the SOIL" The report for 1867 of the statis-
teal bureau at Washington exhibits the fact
that the population Of the Southern States for
that gear was 9,56s, 200, while their exports

panies which the reports from the White

millions from the pockets of greedy aspirants
