The New York Euening Post, the ablest
of the New York journals, is opposing the
acquisition of Cuba by the United States,
using the arguments which suggest them
selves to every man who is familiar with the
facts having relation to the case-namely
The prospective loss ofshe revenue on sugar,
and the introduction into our political sys'
tenn of million and a quarter Of animals
with which we want nothing to do. 1t is q
great pity, however. that it could not see the
force of the latter argument when the propo.
sition was made to incorporate into one pol
itical system and into the body of electors,
the hordes Of ignorant negroes in the
South.

Gen. Butler was at the great Martha 8
Vineyard camp meeting, the other day. A
correspondent of the Boston Advertiser re,
lates that when sinners were invited to come
forward to be prayed for, a good sister sin
gled out Gen. Butler, and earnestly entreated
him to come up to the altar; Jealous
brother on his knees also entreated him to
60 forward, while the clergyman who had
charge of the meeting said if the General
would only come up to the altar, he would
keep the meeting open all night. But the
General was as immovsble as his celebrated
Dutch Gap. The good people of Marths'S
Vineyard have certainly forgotten that the
good book says some people sin away their
day of grace, and that for such all interces'
sion is forbidden as useless.

threatened to kill him if he did 30. The
newspapers deny the reported escape of the
Fernando Po prisoners; but publish de
cree confscating their property. The report
of the rising in the Vailto Abajo district iS
confirmed. The number Of insurgents II
said to be 5000, and thousands Of other
from that part of the Island have reached
the camp of General Csvide in Camquezo

vailto Abajo is the most significant even
that has occurred in Cuba for severa
months. One of the Havana journals say
that it has put the torch in the hands c

The Spanish legation, at Washington has
received important advices from Madrid,
which indicate that the Spanish authorities
have decided to fully reject the proposition
made by this government, on behalf OF the
Cubans, for the cession, by purchase, OF Gu
ba to the revolutionists. Minister Siekles
and Special Agent Forbes have laid before
Regent Serrano all the details agreed on by
the Washington Cabinet, and have urged
them very earnestly--Sickles having been
especially solicited by Secretary Fish to
spare no efforts to secure favorable action
on the proposed purchase. 1t seems, how
ever from the start, that the Spanish Min
lister had become aware that Senior Lemu'
was the author of the proposed plan to sc
cure the independence of Cuba by purchase
aud had been present at q conference OF the
President and Cabinet on the subject
Senior Roberts, therefore, lost no time IL
communicating the fact to Madrid, and ex
posing the agency of the Cuban revolution
lists in the matter. 1t is probable that th'
State Department has official advices of th'
rejection of the plan, but it declines to fur
nsh any information whatever.
