The hope of the Gulf cities is the Da-
rien canal; of the South Atlantic cities,
direct trade with Europe by steamship
lines; of the Border States, the South
Pacific railroad of the Southwest, the
leveeing of the Mississippi and tributa-
ries; of the American Union, the reno
val of the Federal Capitol to St. Louis,
or some equally central point in the In
terror
The removal Of the capital to- St. Louis
insures the levee of the Mississippi and
redemption of thirty millions of arabic
land. That, in turn, insures the Darien
canal and the South Pacific railway,
which, in turn, secures the steamship
trans Atlantic lines. Then could the
South bloom as garden, and the Yves
tern States swarm like very hive of IN
dustry. Under such a condition of things
the prospective increased wealth and pow
er of the South and West is beyond cal

The Belfast Mercury gives the follow
ing in relation to printers:
From high to low they are the same
careless, light hearted, clever, well in
formed, reckless fellows, knowing how to
act better than they do-nothing at times
everything if the occasion requires or
the fit takes them. No sooner are they
comfortable in one town than they make
tracks for another, even though they trav-
ell on hair space" means. And to
what will they not turn their hands?
"We have seen" say the American edi-
tors, Zone and the same individual of the
craft, a minister in California, a lawyer
in Missouri, sheriff in Ohio, boatmen
on western canal, sailing priyateer
and pressman in large printing Office.
Nor are the characters confined to any
one country-they are everywhere the
same. We have met them as lecturers,
actors, travelling preacher, ventriloquist
in fact, everything. We have met on
a tramp in this country, members of this
rowing profession from all parts of the
globe-Frenchman, Spaniards, Portu-
gese, Germans and Swedes, and all APP
parently as much at home as in their own
country. Ardent lovers of liberty, king
craft and priests find but little favor in
their eyes. They are always with the
people. When the Chartist excitement
was raging in England, the most elo-
qutnt and spirited leaders in the move
ment were printers. When barricades
were raised in Paris in 1848 the compost
tors cast their type into bullets and fired
them at the royalist troops. When the
Americans were at war with Mexico one
of Gen. Taylor's regiment was composed
almost entirely of printers, and they were
the bravest of his troops"

The New York Journal of Commerce
sees no reason for going into ecstacies OF
enthusiasm over the report that SANTANA
Bay has been leased to the United States
for fifty years for $3.50, 900 gold a year.
As a naval station SANTANA is worth hav-
ing, but as putting, in place for Ameri-
can vessels, the editor thinks, it is not
worth $3.50, 900 gold year, nor anything
like that sum; and as for making it step
ping-stone to the acquisition of Cuba, we
are told the least this administration says
about that the better; for it has obstinate
ly thrown away the best chance that could
possibly offer for acquiring Cuba, free Of
expense, namely: by recognizing the
Cuban republic some time ago, and
trusting to the gratitude of the Cubans, as
well as their selfinterest; to precipitate
annexation to this country.

An entirely new solution of the Byron
mystery is furnished by a writer in the
Madras Mail, who says that sshis father
had it from one of Lord Byron's most
intimate friends" According to this live
ly correspondent, whose story we find in
the Echo, 'tLorc Byron was, in a sense,
devil. Incredible as the thing may
seem to the thoughtless, the handsomest
man in England had a small tail, a pair
of rudimentary horns, and short, SQUAD
feet divided forward from the instep into
two parts, instead of being furnished with
toes. Before he was born his mother had
been once greatly terrified by seeing,
when in a very delicate state of health,
the celebrated picture of Satan Spurned,
in the gallery at La Have, and the result
had been the fashioning of her child to
some extent, after the monstrous form of
which the sight caused her alarm, and of
which the continuous recollection could
not be effaced by any means known to
her physicians. AT the time of her con-
fnement it was at first suggested that the
monstrosity should not be suffered to live,
but the chid's body, as whole, was so
perfectly shaped, and its face so wonder

Poor Lady Byron never recovered wholly
from the shock caused by her discovery
of what her husband really was: and
partly through excess of Imagination,
partly in consequence of bad advice from

it to be her duty to insist upon her hus-
band subjecting himself to certain painful
operations. But this Lord Byron obsti-

We publish this morning the particu-

Mississippi on election day, and has alrea-

news. 1t affords fair illustration of the
desperate uses to which the Radical DOM
ination in the South puts its officials, and
the reckless indifference with which the
Radical domination at the North observes
the murderous acts of its emissaries. We
have heard good deal of the murder of
Colonel Crane. We shall hear less of the
murder of young Jones. But if the Ok
ford students had swung the Radical
officials to lamp-post, as they deserved
to swing, we should, perhaps, have a
proclamation declaring martial law and a
fresh levy Of troops. a&
