Walker and his principal officers were condemned to an ignominious death, and the country could not extend to them its protection, for they had expatriated themselvesand wantonly and causelessly waged war up-oa neighboring people with whom we were at peace. Ti e course of the Cuban liberators is similar, and while their fate is to be deplored, yet a just regard for the national dignity suggests that calm reflection should supersede hasty action. A great point which was gained at the Geneva Conference by this country was the concession we claimed in reparation from England for he want of diligence in preventing privateers from leaving her ports to prey upon American commerce. Can the United States, iu face of the precedents established heretofore in analogous cases, and of the moral triumph achieved at Geneva, now contradict its history, and disregard its obligations to the rest of the family of nations ? in" giving expression to honest iudigna-tio- u at the cruel massacre of the captives taken in the Virgin-ius- , may inflauia tlic public mind to ill-fat- extent as to provoke injudithe part of the national authorities. The force of public opinion in this country is very powerful. It is arbitrary, but not Mich an cious action on balanced.

For their cruelty and inhumanity, the whole world will unite in one acclaim and hold the perpetrators of the foul wrong to the execration of civilized nations. But, is it within the provinces iof this country to adopt cither retaliatory measures, or to intervene in the affairs of a n with whom we are on terms of peace and friendship? Has Spain been guilty of an overt act of hostility either towards this government or its people, or has it in this case violated any provision of international law to justify an interference which must inevitably lead to the diro consequences of War? General Ryan nd his compatriots had no claim whatever upon the flag of the United States. He renounced his allegiance to it, when he entered the service of na-tio- the Insurgents. The liberation of Cuba may bo a desirables object to accomplish', a purpose which may merit the greatest sacrifices and call into actiou the most elevated patriotism, but surely not one that would urge a groat nation like ours, to compromise its honor and spurn its obligations to the rest of the world, whose good faith is involved in maintaining a strict neutrality in the contest now going on iu that dismembered colony. . A vessel armed and equipped with hostile intents surreptitiously left an American port. .She was. captured and her crew taken prisoners. Four of the Insurgent leaders were cruelly shot, for being found in arms against the Spanish Republic'' 'This is war,' and war is at the best relentless and inhuman in its mandate?.. Iu 1850, Lopez led his filibustering band to Cuba, 'and 'raised the banner of revolt, lie, and many of his hereic comrades, thirty iu all, including the valiant, high spirited 'Crittenden, verc captured and shot in cold blood. The intercessions of our Government, were of no avail in saving their lives, but the world recognized the fact, t'aat the merciless decree was in accordance with the inexorable de- belief that with well-directe- energy d and a commendable spint of enterprise, we will be able to abjure our dependence upon other markets for our supply of coal and coal oil. Encouraged by the unmistakable signs of their existence in abundance at our doors, the city council of Ogden 'promptly gave its endorsement to the persons who have been engaged in testing by experiment, the chances of developing the re sources which indubitable evidence establishes Ogden possesses. A committee of gentlemen have reported favorably to the application for permission to commence operations with a view of sinking wells for oil, and opening a coal mine within the limits of the city. Machinery ha3 been ordered from the shops of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, "and in a few days the work will be commenced earnestly, by those who are sanguine of success. With a certain prospect that the contemplated construction of iron works in this city will be carried to a successful issue, and the additional facilities of coal to feed them, ana lubricating oil drawn from beneath our own soil, what more is needed to give Ogden an impetus that 'will make it the most important point between the Missouri river and the Pacific? Only this, a generous response from all our business men and every man and woman who have at heart the prosperity and growth of the city in which their lots and fortunes are " cast. . HAS IT COKE TO THIS? ' A correspondent writing from Beaver ia yesterday's Tribune, presents a detailed picture of the stupendous dcmonstration,which was held in that city, on, the occasion of' a' visit, by U. S.' Marshal' and self-- ' styled delegate .Maxwell and h's retinue of agitators: Of course, the description of the proceedings is given in d tints. The fertile imagination of that journal's correspondent must have been tortured to the full extent of its elasticity. A facile pen can easily magnify the most insignificant and .trifling events to a rose-colore- mands of warfarVi1 A 7. In 1857 Walker and his huccan-- ! prodigious can be exaggerated t into a countless multitude through the lenses of prejudice and falsehood. We would not mar iu the least the comfort and pleasure, which the itinerant champions of constitutional liberty seem to derive from the delustm in which they indulge in their crusade against "oppression and tyranny." It would be ungenerous to undeceive them, and in the plcntitude of our mercy we extend to them the full measure of our pity and condolence. dozen The dispatches this morning are not very reassuring to those who believe that an appeal to the calm dispassionate judgement of the people of this conutry is prcforable in the present emergency to the erratic, wayward"course suggested by zealots, whose ebullitions of indignation will yield to the more temperate policy of justice and right. The heat of psssiou will not allow deliberate and calm reflection. Notwithstanding the attitude of the Government may be menacing, and a firm disposition may be evinced to resort to stern measures in retaliation for the outrages committed by the truculent Spaniards in their summary execution of open and avowed sympatisers of the liberal cause in Cuba, taken in the Yirginius, there We can afford to smile with serene complacency at the abortive attempts whose mission apof the pears to be to inflame the hearts of the people of this Territory with hate aud to fomcut a spirit of discord among the citizeus of Utah.

In planting trees much depends upon the soil: if poor soil, it must be made good by dressing, but not with fresh stable manure, well rotted manure, if it can be done in the fall, before spring the better. Plow or spade theplanting, ground well in the fall if a clay or wet bottom, drain and throw up ridges.

Oat is good for something besides All young ladies who desire white hands will please hearken. It is oDly necessary to sleep in a pair of boxing gloves, and for a bath oat meal is excellent. If economically inclined and country bred, it can be fed to the horses and cattle as an oatmeal mash after being used. Oatmeal contains a small amount of oil that is food for the skin. To make the hands soft and white one of the best things is to wear at night krge mittens of cloth filled with wet bran or ootmeal; and tied closely at the wrist.

The alum astringes the flesh and. makes it firm, wlxile the egg keeps it sufficiently soft, and the rosewater perfumes the mixture and makes the curd not so hard. , A chap whorafter coming to a railroad crossing the other day and reading the sign, "Look out for the locomotive," climbed to the top, and gazing down the track, wanted to know "Where in thander the old thing was." "I found it very inconvenient, and a great loss of time," said Chateaubriand, "to dine before seven o'clock. My wife wanted to dine at five o'clock, and insisted upon that hour. After many arguments, and many heated discussions, we finally compromised upon six o'clock an hour very inconvenient to us both. This is what they call domestic conces ssions." John G. Hoffman, a Jlorrisania tailor, went to Woodlawn Cemetery, N. Y. to visit his son's grave. 'About 5 0 clock the report ot a pistol was heard, and, shortly afterward Hoffman's body was found lying across the grave with two bullet holes in the breast. Beside the body was a d pistol. Wednesday an inquest was held on the body, anda note found in the dead man's pocket, written iu a trembling , han 3, addressed to the superintendent ot the cemetery and signed John killed saying that he had himself.
