Maryland editors generally only resOlre to
dead-head it over the country and do nothing
to advance their own interests. The conse-
quence is, they belong to railroad men and
dare not speak their true sentiments. Let
them once determine TO pay for what they get
and call for what they want and they will
command the respect Of every one as well as
their dimes. As It is, they are generally re-
garded as class Of ''bummers.r When shall
we see them above railroad influence?

with wonderful activity, and the more the
debris is cleared away, the vaster becomes
the evidence of the devastation. Strange,
the general opinion, from an artistic point
OF view, is unanimous against rebuilding
the Tuileries, or that part of the builing
which acts as a screen between the place
du Carrousel, and the noble vista stretching
up the Arc de Triumph. The Vendo6me
column is gradually raising its head again,
and MacMahon will replace the statue Of
the First Emperor on the summit in his
costume of Petit CopOral, rather that of
C@ser. 1t will be for the ImperiaIists to
again make the change. A more import
ant column is that of outlet, celebrat-
ing the destruction of the Bastille, and the
triumph of OrIeanism in l83O.-events
unpalatable to Henri V. The workmen
seem to bestow unusual attention to the
REBUILDING of the inscription, very import
ant Just now in addition, save for the
Princes Of Orleans. The quarter Of Paris
which really suffered relatively most and
which has been most improved, by the
repairs, is that close to the Porte St. Mar
tin; the theatre Of that name has been re-

Soon the chestnut trees will hide all traces

ST. DOMINGO.

The news from this unhappy country,
like a ray of light, takes it colour very
much from the medium through which it
passes, In addition to the several versions
of the same story which have already ap-
peared since the arrival of the last mail,
we have now before us a private letter
from Port-au-Pri &c, dated 9th instant,
which says-"Monte Christy fell into the
hands of Generals Polanco and Tancredi
on the 9th ult. 1t is several days since
the latter passed over to us with $50 OF the
Chasseurs of Santiago. General PoIanco
says in his last despatch hat with 400 in
fantry and so cavalry he had left to Join
the forces of Tancredi at BotoncalIo, with
the intention Of going to demand the sur
render of Guayubin, whilst Generals Gala
ian and Valerie followed the line of Saba
meta, and Gabino Crespo, with 100 men,
proposed to occupy the Salt Fields so as
to cut of all communication with Santiago

ing Baez maintains that the country is

It is manifestly now the aim of the Danes
TO seize every opportunity presenting it.
self to give all the world to know, in such
wise that the fact cannot be overlooked,
that the North Schleswiger, except an o.
most im~perceptible minority, wish to be-
come Danes. AS just now the North
Schleswig question is again under dis
cussion by pretty nearly the whole Euro
pean press, our friends the Danes takes the
certainly very correct, view that the por-
ton OF the European Press with is inimical
to Germany will register their anti German
announcements, be they never so meaning
less and unreasonable and VII employ them
in attacks AGAINST Germany. Finally, as
they think on every occasion, Germany will
and must soften. Whether the small folk
do not deceive themselves in this is another
Question. Under any circumstances they
deceive themselves as to Bismarck, if they
believe that this striving after a reunion
wife Denmark does them any good. Bis
marck has so frequently prove by acts that
the some what refractory public opinion
10 Germany does not hinder him in the
prosecution of a design known to him as
servicaable to his ends, that he, if he really
wished, would give back a piece of North
Schleswig to Denmark even 10 spite of the
contradiction of the "forty million Ger
mans" But that Bismarck, more than
any other German, has the most remote
thought Of this, at least under present
conditions, has been so often, and in such
convincing ways demonstrated in this
Journal that we can easily refrain from
adding anything more. But that even our
Danes in North SchIeswig themselves do
not believe what they say and write
about Bismarck's views and opinion on the
North Schleswig question, is proved by
the surely intentional passage occurring in
the leading'articIe of the Danneooirke which
runs thus Whether a Bismarck, a Man
t%euffel, or a Windthrost stands at the head
Of the Government at Berlin can only be
all the same to us SO long as neither Of
them openly declares that he wishes so Ito
act that our rights may comS to u.s." The
good Dannevirbe has tor once Overprattled
itself.

Extracts Of a letter written on board the
R. NJ. S. "Corsica":-
"On the morning of the 3Oth Of Sep

from the South East. At about 5 a. m

kept up from North to West, at times
blowing hard, luIling about midnight, and
increasing in the morning /; the Barometer
not rising as it generally does in a Norther.
On the morning of the 2nd of October,
about 10 a m ran into Vera Cruz during
a lulI, and Just had time to land the pas
sengers, many of them running great risk.
The wind increasing rapidly about noon,
we were not able to communicate with
the shore till the morning of the 4th, when
the wind fell from 2 a m till 6 30 a, M,
when all boats cleared out, the wind rising
fast from the North again.
On the morning of the 5th the weather
cleared. We were enabled to do our
work and got away at 2 p. m for Havana.
Two hours after leaving Vera Cruz the
wind came back to the North and
blew fresh till the morning of the
Bird when the wind came back to the re-
gular trade.
There was a very heavy sea from the
North West on the bank. On the night
Of the 8th passed a large ship with loss of
main-mast and head of mizzen mast.
Found at Havana that a hurricane had
passed through the Gulf doing great dam
age.
Several vessels ashore at Key West.
An American steamer put in there with
loss of deck house, Captain, Chief En-
gineer and several of the crew. Consider
able damage has been done at Havana,
more by the sea than the wind. Wind at
Havana was fom S. TO S. W.. 1t is ex-
peCted that the Spanish steamer Mayyi, an
American schooner, and Spanish gunboat,
are totally lost on the south side of Cuba
Great fears are felt at Havana for Sc
veraI American steamers that must have
been in the Gulf of Florida when the full
force of the hurricane must have passed
The mail steamer from New York,
Nassau to Havana met the gale. As the
Barometer was falling fast she turned and
ran back about forty miles, when the
Barometer rose and they had fine weather.
1t is said that the rebels are gaining
ground fast in Cuba. A brigade of 600
Spanish troops have been beaten, a town
taken, and a large capture of arms made.
In mercantile circles there is much dis
trust, one Of the banks was expected to

BELOVED BRETHREN OF ALL NATIONS.
1t is again our duty and privilege to sum ,
mon you to join in the customary Week of In
tercession which for many years Christians of
different nations and languages have agreed to
observe.
1t is cheering to mark, as the years roll on,
how this call to prayer meets with a more gen
eral and hearty response, and each successive
year is usbered in by a wider and more ex-
tended gathering of the children Of God around
the throne ofthe heavenly grace.
The remembrance of many hallowed seasons,
when orr devotions were led by venerated and
beloved servants of God, who now rest from
their labours, and have exchanged prayer for
praise, cannot but endear to US these occasions
of cultivating and enjoying the Communion of
Saints.
Nor do the circumstances of the day in which
we live permit the thought of relaxing in the
earnestness and Importantly of our prayers. All
around US, are symptoms which may we'll
awaken grave and anxious thoughts in Chris
tian hearts. The agitation and unrest of ma
