We could certainly wish that the news front Cuba were better calculated to gladdea the friends of peace. We see not how war, in any extended meaning of the word, is possible. We might be lese averse to open hos- tilities, if the wretches who are seeking to bring them on, were to be placed at the head of the regiments. But the cowards hal rather fight with philippics in New York city. - Universalist. We are a little astonished that so sensible a man as Rev. George H. Hepworth should pour out such sulphurous and wretched nonsense, as the telegraph to the Saturday papers gave him credit for, at the Cooper Institute meeting for sympa- thy with Cuba. He thought the next message of the President to Spain ought to be in the shape of a bombsIeIll A. blood and thunder minister is a pitiable sight. American sympathy of this description will not benefit the slaves of Cuba, or hasten the rending of their chains. If Mr. Hepworth could aid in suppressing filibusterism in New York against Cuba, he would go far to bring about an eatly and 'peaceable solution of this question.-Zion's Herald. We hope that in the settlement of this affair no encouragement may be left this class of men, for ever attempting to renew the wicked enterprise.of the Virginius. If they will persist in such nefarious business, let them know beforehand that there will be precious few tears shed over them should they meet the fate to which so many of the Virginius' crew were doomed.-I'aich- mnan and Reflector. We rejoice to record a favorable change of feeling going on in Havana with reference to the delivering up of the Virginius with the surviving victims. We rejoice as much on account of the strength which is thus given to the Castelar republic, as on account of our own government, and mote than all because of the improving prospect of escaping war, which is always hor- rid. In this country we are in no condition to open the doors of Janus. We are struggling to pay our great debt, to restore our foreign commerce, to reconstruct our banking and financial basis, to rescue business and trade from the remorseless clutch of speculation, defaulting and fraud, and to recover the country generally from the intemperance, extravagance and demoraliza- tion which our late war opened upon us like another Pandora's Box.-News.

Cuba, too, is a tempting field. In case of the success of spare energies as well. We do not want to fight anybody. We our arms, that gem of the ocean would, of course, be ours to rejoice in the smallness of our military establishment; and not- appiopriate. A host of our American adventurers would come withstanding our thousands of miles of sea-coast, we maintain in to share some way in the precious prize. We are glad that only a tenth-rate navy. Our policy is peace and not war.- all this wretched, worthless crowd is doomed to disappointment. Hearth and Home. Digitized from Best Copy Available 'e. 4 4 I 2 2 3 :3 3 3 4 4 4 4
