Courage.

1t is TIE clear duty of tie press of the
country to- make vigorous and united
effort to restore public confidence. We
Lave had our panic and are reaping its
effects, but there is no reason why there
should be this long-con -inued fear of
defnable future calamity. Every
one knows that our crops are abundant
more so, probably, than they have
been for years. Our coal mines, timber
forests, and cotton field have not suffer
ed from the panic, and the vans of reo-
p e everywhere remain the same that
the were two months ago. Europe
must have our grain, and our own peo-
pie must have the products o our
manufactures. There is no reason that
cotton mills and locomotive works
should close their doors, as though cloth
ing and locomotives were never again
to be in use. If necessary, let prices
and wages be adjusted in accordance
with the new conditions brought about
by the panic, and let mills run on half
time; but do not let US present the spec
tacle of people too much frightened
70 do anything but stare one another
idly in the face, and thus bring about
the distress that little coolness and
courage can avoid. There is abundance
of work for every one in this country;
and if The press will do It's part 20 revive
courage and confidence, SO that capital
lists aud workingmen will resume labor,
we need dread no further financial panic.

We take the following from the
Newark American, and would add
that the suggestions are pertinent
to this locality:
A friend writes us, urging the i'm
portance of some combination by
our citizens with a view to aid the
poor during the coming winter; and
suggests the propriety of musical
entertainments, home lectures, &C.,
&c., with a small admission fee, the
proceeds to he used for the purpose
above mentioned. He also says;
''We must cut down our extrava-
''gant manner of living, spend less
"money at the theatres and other
.'places of amusement, that con-
"stantly drain the purses of our
''young men. Ten cents will buy a
t'loaf of bread, and fifty cents, a
"sum that is almost nightly paid at
'some places of amusement, would
'''buy supper for poor family
"Let US therefore, call a meeting,
"devise plans and organize commit.
'stees for this work. No time should
"be lost, as cold bitter winter is
approaching"
The suggestion is timely, and who
shall say not wise. He that giveth
to the poor lendeth to the Lord.

The Growth of the Grangers.

We get some idea of the prog .ess tie
Farmers or Anti-Nonopoly parry has
made in Illinois, in The result of last
weeks election il that State. There
were no State officers vo.ed fyr-only
county officials, and few va,a lcs IN
the Legislature. There a:e 102 ror.nties
in the State, 94 of which have been of
ficially reported, leaving only eight 20
be heard from. Forty-nine of ;h-se
counties were carried by the F;,cmers',
OIL Anti-Monopoly, tickets; fifteen by
the regular Republican organization;
and seventeen by the Democrats. in
thirteen counties, including Cook (Chi-
cago,) the issue was foreign to party
politics. OF the remaining eight coun-
ties not yet heard from, six have hereto
fore been Democratic in politics and two
Republican. In some respects the
achievement of the anti -Monopolists is
unparalleled in politics. A year ago
every county i'll the State was in pos
session of one or the other of the old
claim more than forty out of one hum
d-ed and two. And this was the first
campaign ever made by the nti-Monop-
olis.s. The Chicago Tribune regards the
late elections as general wipiog out of
parry lines in Iowa, Wisconsin, and iii
nois, and had the Grangers known their
strength they could easily have carried
| Minnesota.
These elections in the west, and the
appearance of this new element il poll
tics viii of course be carefully studied

the basis of action by Congress this win
tew 70 meet, if possible, the grievances
of The as. .cultuTisss. 1t is rue only To-
cal issues were involved, but the far
mes, w:.h lie the acuteness of old poll
ticians, argued that If they could CARY
,ne county elections this fall, and thus
oust the cour.-nouse politicians of the
old pa~,ies, their work next year, in the
more Important elections for Congress
men and Legislature, would be so much
the lighter. This is good logic, ahd SCENE
to have been acted on with remarkable
success. We do not hear Of the grangers

The War i'm Cuba.

Recently, a ship called the Nir-
ginius, sailed from New York to
Cuba. This ship was oficered by
persons enlisted in the cause of the
Patriots Of Cuba. 1t was laden
with supplies, and munitions of war
for the patriots of that island. Near
Santiago de Cuba, this vessel was
captured by the Spanish forces, and
a number OF its officers including
/ General Ryan, citizen of the I'm
tied States, were summarily exc
cuted. This action of the Spanish
authorities, has called forth univer-
sal condemnation in this country
and it is not unlikely that our
Government may take active meas
ures to put a stop to the savage war
fare that is being carried on in that
island. 1t was begun by patriots
who could no longer bear the op-
pressions of the Spanish Govern
ment, but since its outbreak, the
governmental affairs of Spain have
gone into other hands. AT present,
Spain is a Republic and its President
is universally esteemed wise man
and good man. He has long been
an advocate of Republicanism; and,
with his recognized ability as
statesman, it is remarkable that he
has not, long ere this, been success
ful in bringing about termination
of the war in Cuba. But it would
seem that he has no influence in
matter so important, and in con-
summation so devoutly desired by
the friends of Right throughout the
world. The war goes on with all
the savage cruelty which character
lied its commencement. CASTELAR,,
the President of Spain, ought
to stop it. He could do so by sup
porting the Patriots; and, it would
be in keeping with the animus of his
Government to crush the cruel pow
er which now lords it over the pat
riots of that ill-fated island. But
this has NOT been undertaken-and,
there is no encouraging prospect
that it ever will be. Nothing there
fore, remains for Cuba, but long
years of internecine strife, encour-
aged by a foreign government-or
the friendly interposition in their
behalf of a powerful and humane
government, like the United States.
Under the circumstances, the I'm
tied States ought to take possession
of Cuba, not for the dollars that
may be in the transaction, but be-
cause such an act would eminently
subserve the cause of suffering hui
manity, and be of infinite impor-
tance to all civilized nations. Our
Government could administer a
panacea that would at once quiet
the nerves of Cuba. 1t could guar
antee to the people of that island
a system of government which
would meet their requirements, and
be safeguard against the inter
meddling of foreign governments.
If started arightly, and let alone
by the rheumatic, monarchical gov
ernments of other countries, Cuba
would prosper, and become safe
and delightful abode for decent and
peaceful people.
We modestly call upon the Hook
ing Sentinel to cease its futile efforts
to conquest Mexico, and henceforth
throw its nightly influence with us,
and assist our really menitorious
project of helping Cuba. Will
Bro. Green volunteer?

An extraordinary story ZONES i.om
Colorado of the discovery of lead
where pure gold lies in mass, plainly Wis
ible to the eye. This lead, or vein, was
found in Southwestern Colorado. in the
San Juan district, about twenty-five
miles from Del Norte. The story is that
from the first settlement of the district
frequent discoveries have been made of
gold nuggets and specimens, but no one
was able to trace them to their original
two men, named Peterson and Brandt,
accidentally struck the lead, being at
tracted by the glitter of pure ore directly
under their feet. The discoverers took
measures to secure their claims, and
then, taking II few specimens selected at
random, returned to Del Norte with the
news which set the inhabitants of that
place with excitement, and led to an i'm
mediate rush to the new district of per-
SONS anxious to secure claims. The
| Denver Tribune says ome of the speci-
and Brandt assay at the rate of thousands
of dollars TO the ton, while others taken
at radon from the surface Of the vein,
and which were thought by the discov=
cries to be of little value, a.sayed at the
mini as high as thirty-six thousand dol
lars per ton. Unless some deception has
been practiced in this ma.t.r, Messrs
| Peterson and Brandt have discovered
what is likely to the. prove the richest
| gold deposit in the world. The first OF
these fortunate men is carpenter, who
came to this country fo-m Sw =den when
lie was but fifteen years ofage; the olhe;
is an honest, hard working native OF
Holstein, who also came 20 this country
many years ago. Both now con-.dv.
