The construction of new lines Of railway
designed to cheaper the transportation OF food
from the Mississippi Valley to the seaboard, is
Of national interest. The Lake Superior and
Mississippi River Railroad, $50 miles long,,
connecting st. Paul with Du Luth, at the west
ern extremity Of Lake Superior, will save the
freight on 800 miles of rail carriage'to water
navigation OH all the wheat, flour, beef, and
porIl. of Minnesota, North Western Wisconsin,
North Eastern Iowa, and of Dakota, which
now go to Chicago and Milwaukee. Thirty
miles of the road are completed and in use /;
eighty miles are under contract and the
remaining forty will be let next month. The
best of American rails spikes, splice-bars, and
bolts for the eighty miles. are being manufac-
tured in Pennsylvania and currently shipped
to Du Luth. The road has now in use and
under construction locomotives, 03 freight
cars, and passenger cars The line runs
through principally virgin forest Of pine
Enterprising parties are contracting with the
Company to putup steam saw-mills on its lands
Proposals have been made to it to erect
car-factories. Two huge grain elevators will be
built at Du Luth this year. A gentleman has
gone there from this city to erect under a
contract with the Company, hotel 1GO feet
long, and two churches. -Four steamers Will
this season run regularly TO Du Luth, and as
many more from Buffalo and Detroit. Parties
at Erie and Ogdensburg, owners of lines OF
propellers are negotiating with the Railroad
Company for the carriage of the grain it will
car to the Lake.

CEBAN DEMOCRACY.

Consular information received by the State
Department is said to represent the Cubans
largely in the advantage. Other news eman-
ating from those who are acting for Cuba IN
Washington, speaks in confirmation Of the
report that the Spanish Brigadier Lesca had
been defeated at Las Tunas, and that the
patriots had been successful in the jurisdiction
Of Trinidad. TACcording to inveterate habit,
the organs Of Gen. Dulce in Havana endeavor
to obscure with stupid untruth the fact that
the Cubans have been guilty Of any victory
whatsoever.
Amid much rubbish of hard lying, it is re-
freshing to encounter two such facts as the
address of Manuel Cespedes, as President OF
the Cuban Republic in arms, and that OF Man
uel Quesada, its COmmander-in- Chief. In lay
ing down his provisional authority to I" House
"of REPRESENTATIVES gathered at Guaimaro
"from all parts of the island" Gen.
Cespedes says that, while he Is proud
TO have been the first to revolt in 1ara, 1t Is
even more grateful to his democratic feelings
to be the first TO render homage to the popular
sovereignty. lie calls upon his people to give
their lives in defense Of the Republic pro-
claimed at GuaimarO, and in a subse-
ouent address, as President of the
Cubans speaks with a gravity in keep
ing with the task lie has assumed. "Cuba," he
says Gin taking upon herself the solemn duty
to consummate her independence or perish in
"the attempt obiges herself to become Re-
publican. This obligation, contracted in the
"presence of free America, before the liberal
"world and, what is more, before our own
"consciences signifies our determination to be
"heroic and virtuOusn These are but words
but they sound us to like the words of hopeful
and resolved men who dare suffer and struggle.
Taken in that sense they are as good rs
battle.
In proclamation addressed TO his soldiers
in the country of Camaguey Gen. Quesada
reminds them of the late atrocious order of
the Cuban Haynau, Yalmaseda. 1--WE have to
struggle" he says, "with tyrants always such
"-the Torqucmadas, the Pizauos, the Morilos,
"the Tacons, the Conclas, and the Yalmasedas
with the assassins of old women and chill
"dren, with the mutilators Of the dead, and
"thc idolators Of godm Though the Spaniards
will rctort in their own way to this bitter
charge, they will appear to the world true
count in the bloody indictment of the govern
ment whose officials steal aud whose soldiers
murder.
New-York tribune., 1869-05-21

ment of the Five Hundred. If kings cannot
be had for asking, then it is better, he thinks,
for Spain to set to work and make them out
of her own raw material. Name dictator OF
king, he says, but name him at once, and not
at the end of two years. The Italian hero
learned in Paraguay and subsequently in Italy,
that Republics are not to be had for wishing,
and that the purest self-goyernment is not an
article to be knocked down at once to who
ever bids. 1t would be as hard for Spain to
get rid of herself altogether as to dspossess
herself at once of the institutions to which,
whether she will or not, she must more or less
adapt her progressive destiny.
Almost cotemporary with the extreme debate
in the Cortes over the general question OF the
Church. We have intelligence that several
thousand Bourbonists are about to march over
into Spain. This may be an exaggeraton un-
worthy of total belief; but the indeciSon OF
the country is as legible an invitation to re-
smgent BOurboui5m rs could be held out.
New-York tribune., 1869-05-21

Tn the rcigning dilemma of Castilian politics,
the question whether Cuba shall become Span
ish is about rs decided as that other doubt as
to whether Spain herself shall become Cuban
lied. Accepting for n verify the statement Of
Garibaldis late letter, the Spaniards are walk
ing " the dangerous edge of things" between
revolution and consolidation. TO whatever
fOrbearance exists in her leaders, and to what
ever morality the republican movement pos
scsses, Spain owes her present unusual and
scmi-respectable position before the world.
VIII that situation continue?
Garibaldi compares the Madrid of to-day TO
the ConstantinOple besiegod by Mohammed while
its five hundred doctors were wranglng over
leavened or mcavened bread. His character
as an agitator considered, he has shown marked
in saying that though a Republican
himself, and not disposed to say that the Gov
ernment of Spain by Congress is irrational,
he is still opposed, Just now. to the govern
