wurrr nAn,s GOVERNMENT.

This was established as a white mans
Government, beyond peradventure, and
must remain 80, or its main features will
have been destroyed. There is no place
IN the councils Of the nation for negroes
and other incompetants. The country
must rest upon its old landmarks, or 1t
must cease TO exist. A negro few days
since in Louisville, Kentucky, declared
in an eloquent way that this Govern
ment was established by white men, and
should be ruled by white men. We give
the words Of this negro, Clark, which are
as follows:
AZ trust that / shall shock nobody's
nreiudices, alarm no persons fears for
NV sanity, when /, colored man, and .
lifelong sgiiator for colored mems rights,
declare, as now do. that this is white
mans country. In al its widespread
grandeur Of mountain, valley and plain,
OF river, lake and ocean, of densely
crowded city and uninhabited Wild, from
sterile. frozen Alaska TO the warm shores
Of the Gulf, this country belongs to the
white man. 10 him and his heirs forever.

the gloom which had shrouded this con-

ausred this continent Its ieeming

New York. September 24.--Last night
an oil train on the Erie railroad took fire
on a side track at Penn Horn City, about
three miles west Of Berger tunnel. The
flames spread with such rapidly that be-
fore any of the cars could be detached
and removed beyond danger the entire
train was envelopsd. Twelve tank cars
filled with oil we're burned, involving q
loss of about $50. 900 The railroad track
was on fire in several places ct midnight.
The Penn Horn oil works were saved.

An ice machine has been invented in
Brunswick, Germany, producing cold by
the expansion and compression of at
mospheric air, which is accomplished by
means of mechanical power. The ma.
chimes require no chemicals, nothing
being used but water and atmospheric
air; they may be wrought by steam,
water or wind, and they produce from
100 to 1000 pounds of ice an hour, &C.
cording to size. at cost of from 3D. to

sulting from the varying prices of fuel
and the mode of working chosen.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES

There seems 10 be some apprehen-
sion at this time Of difficulty between
Spaiu and the United States, growing
out of the Cuba question. Grant was
anxious to act as mediator between Spain
and rebellious Cuba. General Sickles
was commissioned as Minister, and sent
by the Administration to Madrid to see
if the Regents Government would not
accept the kindly interference OF the
United States, but instead Of so doing
has rejected the offer with scorn as an
officious suggestion.
The Spanish journals are discussing
probability of war between the powers,
and the capacity Of Spain, in the event.
to blockade the United States ports with
a naval armament. Secretary Fish is
rather disposed to charge Gen. sickles
with having transceuded his'instructious
and in acting outside bis official duties.
That Minister was doubtless under the
impressions that he could run Spain and
her affairs, like he and his party have
been doing this country for the last four
vears. He works himself up into rage
and threatens Spain, if she rejects
The profered mediation. that the United
States will at once recognize the inde-
pendence of Cuba. Spain then flies
into rage and swears that she intends to
6ght in defense Of her colonial and ter
ritorial rights. The defiant attitude as
sumed by Serrano demands of Mr.. Grant
TO come to time, or back down from what
he has already attempted. We rather
think that the administration will throw
an the sponge, and defer further action
until the meeting of Congress. The
rnmor of war, nevertheless, had its
effects upon the gold market, and was
the cause of rapid advance of three or
four cents, which ruined the fortune OF
number of spectators in Wall street.
The United States is certainly power
full enough to enforce any demand made
against Spain, as the latter government
has not We. been settled upon very
sound basis. THIS is not the danger to
be unprecedented, for every one knows the
great resources Of this country; but then
we will, perhaps, be called upon to meet
o,her powers that are closely allied to
suain. and who would readily assist in
preserving her territory from the rapa-
cious grasp Of our Northern brethren.
Grant and the Radical party had bet
ter place their own household in order
before they engage in another war; The
fact now, as hereafter, had as well be
knows that the South would bea very I'M
reliable party to call upon to assist the
North out of any Of it's difficulties. We
would not place ourselves up as a target
20 be shot at as long as we are degraded
to the level Of the negro, and not permit
ted to exercise the Offices Of freemen.

EXECUTIVE TALENT.-It is said that Com
mOdore Vanderbilt likes TO tell the story how
he came to make his first start in lite At
sixteen he was promised a sail boat by his
mother large enough to carry passengers from
Staten Island to New York if he would thor
oughly plow, by certain time, an eisht-acre
lot This he accomplished by getting several
comrades to work for him. His mother kept
her promise, and young Vanderbilt began the
business of carrying passengers and freight be-
tween Staten Island and New York. In tbis
little story can be seen the secret of the sue
cess of the great millionaire, and of nearly all
those who accumulate great wealth, or are
successful in life. 1t is to get people to work
for you. Those who are born with, or early
in lite acquire this faculty, are pretty certain
to get rich. Has he executive talent? or does
he know how to make people work for bim ?
is often asked, and when answered Of man
in the affirmative, you may say OF him that te
will get ON in the world. Men cannot get
r:ch by working for others, and 1t should be
the main effort of every man to strike out for
himself. This faculty OF using the lahor Of
others is much stronger in some nations and
races than others. .-.-. 80.
is The knglish races have the faculty in rare
degree and it is tor this reason that one sees
so many rich among them and the great mass
poor, tor men who work for Others, unless en-
dowed with great economy, cannot accumu-
late money. Method, system. order and skill
in organizing labor are the foundation of the
wealth of England. The Celtic race that they
have drawn to themselves possess more gen.
ius, but are immensely interior to them in
method and executive talent. A close study
OF Commodore Vanderbilts career will show
manv passages like this, and when applied to
the development of the resources OF coun-
try aid to the organization of labor, thsv re-
suit IN ncalculabe benefit to mankind.-Nes
