little volume of lively gossip and description
apparently private letters, written during two
months trip to Cuba and Nassau some years ago. for
we notice that SeITano was Captain-General. The
sketches are all the more entertaining from the cir
cumstance that they were not originally intended
for publication. They give us very bright viva
eous presentation OF the surface aspects of tropical
life in doors and out. The descriptions of the sugar
plantations of Matanzas, and the Valley of Yumuri
are quite as clear and graphic as if they had been
more carefully elaborated The book is unpreten-
tious. entertaining and therefore very pleasantly
readable

The ceremonies of unvciling the
statue recently erected by the surviy.
ing members of the Washington Ligh,
Infantry, of Charleston, to their dead
comrades who fell in the late civil wal
took place OH the sd ultimo, in the
presence of an immense crowd. Gen.
eral Hampton was the orator of the
occasion, and made speech. Among
other things he said; "Lct US, then.
my friends and comrades, cling with
unrelaxing grasp and mistaken con-
fidence to the faith that is in us. Let
not the angry threats of oppression or
the syren voice of temptation drive or
allure us to forsake it. Above all, be
not misled by that unmeaning jargon
which tells you that your cause was
submitted to the arbitrament of arms
and that the sword has decided that
cause against YOU The sword has
never, nor viii it ever, decide a prin-
ciple or establish truth. Itcan, as it
has often done, overthrow a just cause
and make might take the place of
right; but it can never revise the
immutable laws of God-makc what
is evil appear right in His sight. A
noble cause, upheld hcroically by hon
or, courage and patriotism, may die
along with its supporters, A great
truth never died but, eternal as the
Godhead from which it springs, it
lives forever, amid all the changes of
dynasties, the wreck of empires, and
the death of nations. 1t is, too, as
false in fact as logic to assert that the
sword can or does decide justly be-
tween right and wrong. With the
sword the Goths and Vandals drench-
ed the fair fields of Italy with the best
blood of her sons. 1t gave nearly
half the world to Mohammed. 1t
allowed the Turks to trample out the
civilization of Greece. Its keen edge
has dismembercd Poland. 1t has left
Hungary bleeding at the feet of the
oppressor. 1t has turned over Spain
and Portugal to the tender mercies of
the Saracen, and OH this continent and
in our day, directed by inscriptions
poweragainst the threats of PROSTATE
State, rocking with parricidal blood it
enforccs the-laws which it alone has
made. Tell me not, them that the
sword can rightfully tufn the scales of
justice. tits the exponent Of tyranny
not the arbitrator of truth--the badge
of the tyrant and the executioner,
not the symbol Of justice. 1t is not
at all inconsistent with these views
that we as conquered people, should
observe scrupulously the terms die
tated by the sword and accepted by
us. We can do this and should do it,
in perfect good faith; but we should
claim and exercise the God-givcn
right of freedom Of opinion. We
acknowledge that the cause for which
these men died is lost, but VIC should
be false TO that cause were we to adj
NIT that they were, because of failure,
necessarily wrong. We believe that
they were right, and we therefore
honor and respect their memory. If
they were right, time will vindicate
the action and record their fame. If
wrong, eng .ygGt .B Ula a

Hon. A. O.. P. NichOlson's Disabilities


When the Senate bill for the re-
moval of the political disabilities of
five thousand Southern men was be-
fore the u. S. Senate a few days
since, Senator FOWLER proposed to
amend the bill by inserting the names
of Judge NICHOLSON and Gen W. &
WHITTnoRNE, both of this place. At
the urgent request of Senator Brown
Low and ii. MAYNARD, objection was
made to the proposed amendment,
and after spirited discussion be-
tween Senator FOWLER and SUMNER,
WILSON, MORTON & Co, it was with
drawn. During the discussion the
following documents were read:
NASHVILLE, Tenn :, Feb I. 16, 1870.
Dear Sir: am in receipt of a letter
from Columbia, which informs me
that IA letter is gotten up for the sig
natures Of a number of your political
friends, requesting you TO use your
influence in procuring theremoval OF
the disabilities supposed to be inn
posed upon me by the fourteenth
amendment The movement Origi-
mates, in part at least, in desire that
l may be in a position to accept ju-
dicial position, which l have express
cd my willingness to do. 1 write
now to say that if you can, in the dis
charge of your duties, favor the re-
moval ofmy disabilities, Ishould feel
obliged to you for so doing. You arc
fully aware of my past course, and
can determine intelligently whether
the puplic interests would be SUBJ
| served or not by my restoration to
the full rights of citizenship, and by
your Judgment / am willingto abide
it is, perhaps, proper for me to add
that nv own opinion is that am moi
obnoxious to the provisions of the
fourteenth amendment; but us there
may De doubt on the subject, Iwould
be gratificd to have the doubt re.
moved. Assuring you that l viii
properly appreciate your action on
my application, j am, very respect

sense of justice, mercy, and love of

The European War Cloud.

a few days ago war between two
of the greatest powers of Europe
seemed imminent, If not inevitable
but the calm and dignificd answer of
the Prussian Government TO the mcr-
curial French has created the hope
that the war cloud viii blow over .
Several weeks ago Queen Isabella
abdicated her title TO the throne of
Spain i'm favor of the Prince of Astu-
rias. Gen. Prim offered the throne of
Spain 10 Prince HohenzOllcrn, & Ger
man Prince, the King ofPrusisa's son.
The Prince announced his willing
ness 10 accept the gift, and France
Immediately flew into a passion, and
after declaring that his accession to
the throne of Spain would be just
cause for war with Prussia, COM
menccd TO make immense prepare
lions for immediate conflict. Aus
tria. by reason of her defeat at So
dowa, no doubt sympathizcs with
France, but the other nations of Eu-
rope pronounce Frances impatience
Us silly and foolish. The two pow
crsare nearly equal in point ofphysi-
cal power and natural resources, but
although Prussia's political prestige
is very great among the nations on
account Of her military victories and
the diplomatic achievements of Bis
. mark, it cannot be denied that, every
thing equal, the French have rarely
failed t" come off victors when they
have Encountered theTcutons. Their
probable allies, arc exact equals, and
if war ensues, the whole of Europe
NAV become engaged in it. War is
always dreadful evil, and it wonld
be especially so to the commercial
prosperity of the South, as it would
bring down the price of cotton.
