TIE WEST MOVING TO MEET Us,

The Louisville Courier Journal, refsrr-
Ing to the proposed completion of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, indi-
Gates the desire in that section to meet
this great Virginia work at the Ohio
river. Says that paper:
"The Chesapeake and Ohio road is
coming. The capitalists who are put
ting it through want a branch from
Ironton TO Cincinnati and another
soutl, of the river to this city. A large
meeting was held at Portsmouth, Ohio,
yesterday, to further this project SO far
as the CT cinnati branch is concerned.r
From this and other articles that we
have read in the same prpcr recently,
we have very little doubt that by the
time the Chesapeake and Ohio Road
reaches the Ohio, there will be connec-
lions with Cincinnati, and probably
Louisville, at that point, SO that We
shall have direct line of railway from
Norfolk and Richmond to Cincinnati.

EFFECT OF sToPPAeR OF THE EARTH,s
NOTION.

Should oar earth suddenly be arrest
ed in its course from any cause Whatcv-
er, the inevitable result would be the
development of an enormous degree of
heat that would burn up everything on
the surface, and dissipa.e it in vapor.--
IL IS well known that motion when sud-
denly arrested, becomes converted into
heat, and this fact is illustrated contin-
tinually in our every day experience.
"A cannon ball fired against an iron
plate, becomes heated to considerable
degree, and the amount ofignition il in
proportion to the velocity of the body
thus arrested.

POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY.

The present population OF the Unit
ed States has been variously eguessed' -
at from 100000 to 45 900, 900. aud more
sanguine patriots talk of 0,OOO, 900 now
and 2O0,OOO,0O0 within a generation or
two. A carefully prepared estimate,
published in the New York Tribune,
gives 10000, 900 as the probable popula-
tion on june /, 1870, when the ninth
census ia 10 5s taken. This is an in.
crease Of over 100000 certainly very

MASONRY TREASON TO SPAIN.
BUTcHERY OF MAsoNs IN cUBA-JoRDAN RE-
y TALIATEs.

The Havana correspondent of the
New York World after describing the
execution of thirteen prominent Gu
bans, among them the head of Mason
ry in the Island. says:
The executed gentlemen, when ar
raigned before the military commission
that condemned them, admitted the
existence of an association to which
they belonged. but denied its being a
political junta, but only Masonic
lodge; that they met toge ther as Ma.
SOUS tor Masonic.purposes, and net as
politicians for political purposes. This
defence appears to have angered in
stead of satisfied the Spauiards. ri
MlsoNs OR cUBANs-rREAT EACH Alike.
A Catalan priest, who ever since the
commencement of the war has been
noted for the ultraism Of his LOYALTY 9,
and his violent dennnclations oil Gu
bans, immediately pronounced Free
masons no better than Insurgents; that
she rising of Yara was plotted and
planned IN Masoaic lodges; that Ces-
pedes is a Mason; and that wherever
Masons congregate there Spanish 10y
atty Nhithers and dies. With the same
fsnltical eloQuence that some OF his
ancestors no doubt employ in the times
OF the ihquisition of the prosecution be-
fore aud persecution by his terrible
tribunal OF some persons charged with
hsresy, he intlamed the passions of his
auditors. and the result was. AS stated,
The condo Iaation of the thirteen ae-
cussd. So, true then it is, as admitted
by Senior Gil Gelpi, editor of the PrenSa
4 Thorough Spanish fanatic but ~ the
same time the most candid and PLATA
est spoken of Havana Spaniards. that
the Spain of to-day is the same Spain
OF the times of Peter the Cruel, Phil
lip H., and the Duke or Alba; that
Spanidrds haze not changed. Mr. Phil
lips. ably seeoned bv Mr.. Ramsden,
the British Consul, endeavored hard
and long to save the lives of his .wo
countrymen. Messrs. Damnery and
PortnOndo, but without success. This
volunteers insisted upon their lite
blood being shed, as well rs that OF
their eleven Cuban associates, and
thwarted all appealsmade to the Lieu
tenant Governor to spare th1m. The
two Americans were Free Masons, and
therefore were sacrificed to Spanish ia
tolerance and fanaticism.
FORTY MORE TO BE EXECUTED.
From MIR. Phillips report the re
niaining prisoners. forty III Number

and BY this time must be numbered

JORDAN SHOOTS THREE HUNDRED SPANISH
h PRISONERS.
A gentleman from Nuevitas, now
here, tells me the shooting 1856 Span /
iards is indeed true, and adds that h.
fore he left home he had been informed
that General Jordan had just haG 300
Spanish prisoners shot, most OF
them men captured from General
Puzzle, being resolved to retaliate in
full upon the Spaniards, who to-day,
Ill all parts OF the island, Invaribiy
shoot all prisoners they take. The
gentleman does not vouch for tile Ger
reetness of the information. but thinks
the report both possible and probable.
