The indications are dally multiplying that, we are jiot longlo enjoy uninterrupted peace with Spain. We reared as much when we saw Pe zuela appointed captain-general of Chiba, under what We believed at the time, to be British die tation.; a Lord John Russell has since admitted that the selection of tins functionary . was iu ac- i.'.' lM.ni.a- V?tlig And lo wtm did Victoria's government desire him?,; Because of his known inveterate lostility to the United States and their institu tions, as manifested during Ins residence at 'orto Rico, as captain-general, and afterwards at Madrid! .The virtue which thatgovernment found in him was this and this alone: It had confidence that he could be employed under its dictation as an instrument to Africanize that beautiful island of the Antilles which lies near est to Our coast, and thus with the incendiary's torch produce a general conflagration in the south of the Union ! His mission, from the first, we regarded as of evil omen, and his acts have unhappily justified our worst apprehensions. He seized the first occasion-in tact, t lie occa sion w.as of his own creation--to perpetrate a wrong upou us to which puny nations alone would. submit with impunity. If England and France think proper to endorse this wrong if they send their vessels to the coasts of Cuba to protect the authorities there in the wanton out- rage which has occurred in me instance oi tue Black Warrior- our duty will be too clear to admit of a doubt upon the subject. But when we mention England and r ranee we do not in clude Englishmen and Frenchmen. We believe that the day that cither of those powers in volves itself in a war with this coutitry the beloved of all countries by the masses will be a fatal one for those who administer its ahairs. Enlightened civilization everywhere is the un compromising friend of liberal institutions, as it is the implacable enemy of autocracy and au tocratic tendencies, its intlucnce is too pow erful to be resisted, as may be seen in its tri umph over all the sovereigns of Europe, by the Czar himself the idolized of despots. The governments of England and France would not interpose in the Eastern question until the peo ple of Enirland and France told them, in em- phatic language, they must do it! It is a mis take to suppose that any credit is due to the one or the other of those governments for the warlike demonstrations which they are making in fhe Baltic and Black seas against the great champion of reaction in continental Europe. Imperative necessity, if not absolute self-preservation, caused them to yield to that potent arm which not unfrequently demolishes thrones public opinion. In anv iust ficht which we may have with Spain, that arm is as certain to be uplifted against the enlightened, so-called, Colossus, who pronounces knowledge to be "in compatible with orderly government." It is evidently our duty to begin to prepare for the worst. We must demonstrate to the good of every land those entertaining seuti tnents kindred to our own in an unmistakable manner, that we have not only a good cause, but that we are so prepared that, with God's blessing, we shall be enabled to maintain it. We should thus contract an alliance more for midable to our enemies than any ever contracted between crowned heads for the repression of political liberty! W rashinglon Unian. The new Cent. - We understand, says an exchange that the pro posed new cent is to be of white metal, resem bling silver in appearance, with a round and slightly raised edge. It is about eight tenths of an inch in diameter, larger than a quarter eagle, aud less than a twenty-five cent piece. There is not to be any hole in the coin, as has betn suggested iu some of the papers. It may belreadily distinguished, we think, from other coius of about the same size, and will be a vciy great convenience.

Resolved, That we have implicit confidence in the action of the Convention, and that we will yield our hearty and united support to the person whom they shall nominate, but that we do heartily recommend our worthy fellow citizen, Samuel J. Person, a gentleman of commanding talents, an able advocate, of affable and pleasing address, who, by his indomitable energy, en lightened jugment and thorough advocacy of Democratic principles, will secure the confidence of the people and insure a glorious victory in the next Gubernatorial campaign.

MILLER, Ch'n. W. H. Berry, ) 0 . . i- u J-Secretaries. rvwte i . The following anecdote wiij translated from a French exchange lor the 'Xpribcru: Gazette' df Keesville, N'.Y. .-- ; .'f Something of a farce was enacted ! the office of a Avon physician of this city;, ho owes a . good deaVto his reputation ' and -conning.- A lady entercd"to cmsalt him upo nf . affection cf the eye. Her sight was growing. eak and dim, and tlie organ was suffering constant weak ness. The lady used excellent language, dress ed well, and bore every, trace of high life. It is serious, 'very eriona, indeed said the it. i. - .v K"v Good gracious ! cried: his -patient; JA alarm, 4I can cure you, maUaiiSlf bttt it wfll be along ", of treatment' r 'v:v.:-; Tlie medical science has some names that makes one shake in his shoes; and the lady did not understand this name which frightened her very much. 'What must I do?' she -asked. '-You must place yourself under my care. You reside in Paris ? 'Ah, no, Sir. I came expressly to consult you.' 'I regret it, madam. The disease which threatens you must be treated with energy, and makes it necessary that I should sec you almost every day.' '1 must take apartments in Paris, then" 'I advise you to do so. Constant attention will effect your cure, or I can promise you nothing.' The ladv did as the physician recommended, and engaged a spendid hotel in the Choussee d'Autin ; for as the occulist had su ;pected, she was a lady of immense fortune. Quite a while elapsed during which the phy sician spared ueithcr remedies nor visits. He was exceedingly attentive, and constantly re- ommeuding a thousand little prescriptions which he said would save his patient's eyes. But weeks passed bv, and then months, and the much wished-for cure was still to come. 'When?' would the lady inquire. 'Verv soon,' the doctor would reply. 'Wait a little longer, and he would place a new pair of colored spectacles upon her nose. This treatment made the fair patient grow nervous, and one fine morning an idea popped into her head, and she formed a purpose which she resolved to carry into effect without delay. hue ensconced her head within a shocking bad black bonnet ; drew a dilapidated dress about her ; flung a miserable shawl across her shoul ders ; put old and c.rumsy shoes on her feet, ami with a faded umbrella in her hand, started for her physician's office. She had been careful to conceal her dark hair beneath bands of flaxen hue, and dye her eyebrows and keep her face half hidden within tufts of antiquated ribbons and artificials in her bonnet. A lover's eyes would have been deceived by the change. Thus accoutred she went to the physicians', who naturally cuough let her wait for her turn. . . When it arrived she passed iuto his consul tation room with trembling steps, while her bended form aud faded garments bespoke her a quite poor old woman. 'What is the matter, my good woman?' in quired the doctor. 'Sore eyes, dear doctor,' she replied in a shrill voice. 'Let ns see,' he exclaimed. 'Look,' she added, approaching hirn boldly, and thrusting her face into that of the doc tor, who never dreamt of seeing his rich patient in such toggery. He examined the eyes and said : 'Go home, old mother. . Nothing ails you.' 'What nothing at all?' cried the lady. '( frtniiilv iimt Mfin't I L-iiriw uh-it 1 eoi'" say rejoined the physician pettishly. 'I hat s strange,' was her observation ; 'for some people told me of something like hum hammer.' 'Amaurosis?' interrupted the M. D. "That's it,' she cried. 'Nonsense,' he exclaimed. 'Your eyes are weak ; that's because you arc an old woman. That's all. and nothing can help them.' 'That ain't what my doctor says,' she ob served. 'Your doctor's an ass, then,' he declared em patieutly. 'Well, sir,' she rejoined in her natural voice; . 'you are that very doctor himself.' The chronicler of this Parisian episode adds that the occulist had no more visits to pay the lady, and she no bills for past attendance. Remarkable Longevity. Frances, a free woman of color, died recently at the city hospital, of "debility," having at tained the remarkable age of 14b years. e have known of several cases of Creoles living to a great nge, but do not remember an instant o anywhere of any color attaining to such an ages as the above, and we should be inclined to dis credit this, but that the fact is officially reported to us from the city hospital. Mobile Adv. This venerable individual must have been born somewhere about the year 1 70S. At that time Queen Anne had but recently come to the tlirono of England. The union between England and Scotland had just been consumated. It was thu day of Addison, Swift, Pope, Steele, and other brilliant names in English literature. Gpdo! phin and Harley were conspicuous in the cabi net, Marlloroiigh and Eugene were embitcrinjc with defeat, the latter days of Louis XIV., Charles XII was ravaging Poland and Russia a nd Peter the G reat was laying the foundations of his infant empire on the Neva. What an old woman that was thirty years old when im I - A 1 -II J . . - asiiiugiuii was ivrii, uiir. nuiuirea. wuen .Aapo leon Bonaparte was at the summit of his power. . More than four gentrul'urns of the human ract passed successively away during her term of life. Her three score years and ten were moru than doubled, aud she may have been privileged to see descendants of the seventh or eighth generation. If, however, she was an old maul, we venture to say she was the only one who was ever publicly known to have reached such a maturity. Weely Post. Prolific A correspondent from Smith Grove, Davie Count)', writes that on the. 18th instant he made "a coffin for four infauts, born at one birth, of one mother." Tlie same mother litis been delivered of eight children, at four births, in sixteen months. The children are all dead except one : Two were born Nov.
