There is ino reason. nor fitness in.:heir continued de petidence on a country so distant, so de crepit. ea, disqualified to cherihh or pro-. teet, and so' eager.to prey upon and ex haust, as Old Spain. We trust. therefore, the day is not distant rhen Cuba will as sert and maintain her independenre. Weiher it. would or would not be expe-; dient. in some suppnsable case. to unite the 'destinies of independe.t Cuba. with those of our confederated Rettrblie. it is not yct time to entsider. Mtrs.

It is hardly allowable in private - life to spectila'e cn the elibilaiiity. of Mrs such-a-one as a match afer her husband shall have died. Let. him Cie first. - On one point we trust there can be no division. aaone enlightened. cinecientionus men, viz; So long a Spain shall claim Cuba as her rightful possession. this gonu try cannot justly nror honorobly annex nor form anyssort of defensive alliance witlh the latter. 'to cdisregard this inhibition is tI violato the recognized public, law of the worlb und wage war upon an ally with whom we have n.o quarrel, ahatever Cuba may have. After Cuba shalt have dreclared her independence, maintained it and compelled Spain . to recognize it. we many annex either of them to our Republic with its own conment without wrong to the other. but np before. Were able to look Spain into non-entity, it would be nevertheless unj-nst and outrage. )us to-plot.her disnmemberment and spolia tio,' We do not' hear that'thc Cubans whio desire Independence are equally zealous for Liberty. nor that they propose to initate the noble exarr.ple of the Magyars of Itn vary. wimn, as preparatory to their strugg'e for }ndeppendence, - decreed the enanipa. ion and future eqtality of allathjent races broughout their country.

It seeti" to rely upon outsiders not merely for aid hut for inception. The first shot is to be fired by an invading force. No fist, inimical to Spain is to be raised on the linnd util a military expedition, sectetly fitted out within the borders of the United.States. shall have debha ked on her shores. Now there is scarcely a regiun ofequal area on earth so well provided with natural stron"g :olIs for a popular tovemnten t a5 that same Cuba, and it seems odd, if the Cre oles, really pant for independence, that they de. not claitp the honor of initiating the movement. It argues inenpcit3 iar itcependence, this holding back for a for eien force to brgin the contest. It was not sill after the capture of Burgoynes Army that anv Government on earth consented to aid our forefathers in their Revolution ary straggle. Hiowever, let thn Cubans take their own course. Our Goverum' ni has no claitm to control. n.r .even admonish them. It is but .the sim plest, nakedest good faith. however that the President should ad noish our own People as to the character and requirements of the lavs that must violate, the hazards they encounter. if they embark in the enterprise of.revolutionzing Cuba before Cuba has evinced the least dis position to be revolutioniz-d. This he has done kindly. temperately, and plain ly. We cannot doubt that his Proclama tion is almost untanimotusly apparoved.

A enrrespnodeti of the Ame'rican Agri culturist, writing from Darien, New York, says ; - "I am glad to see the nriention of far m-ers tuirned to tb-is subject. as I believe at no disiont d1a wire fences must become the leading hind generally over the Union. It is true there is a dificulty in fencing a;ninst hots, but even that- can he over come without much-trouble, as is hicreaf ter suiggested. - have never yet hail any made, but in tend to make a sample next sprir.g. I have given the subject, however, a good deal of thought, an' mane inquires and iigutres thereupon. Frmn some small ex prriments I havel made, there can be no doubi but inV figures are mainly correct. I shall use No. If wire, cedar pnst4, as they are the most durable, and shall set them six rods apart, making the fence five strands high-. Tpe pasts being set. I should begin by boring an inch hole through each, at eighteen inches from the ground iothen enother hole eight inches from that, the next ten incites; then twelve inches; then fourteen inches, making the fence five feet two indhps high. Aflter ihe .wires have been dratwt through and strained tight. drive plugs into the holes at each side to hold them- in their places. ' Between each post. one rod apat,, drive down a stake. saw into it opposite each wire, perhaps an inch, lay in the wire. and- drive in a sidgle nail to keep', it in its place. It would be less trouble to drive a small spike into the post an-I intl the wire round i' *by one turn, rather thtn to bore the'holes;-though the expense would even be nore. The wire ought to be prepared in the same tmannter'fi~tii is fir bridges, boiled in liuseed oil for -.quarter of an hour, and then dried, and the same process repeated three times. This anneals and at the some time coats the wire,-and saves paint. ing it. If, however, there he but a small qntity to put upf, it would- be better to heat 'the wire, a-tl aller vnn' paint it. Coal tar woolJ! also be an exaLllent sub stance for that purpose. Now for the expense. A s:rand of No. II wire, 80 rods long, weigh 25. it red cedar posts, 25 cents each, 3 50 B5 stakes. I cent each.

On most f;armiis. where there'is plenty of timber for posts, it would not cost but about sixteen cents per rod. But allowing for all contingencies, nod that ii costs twenty !ice cents per rod, it is then by far the cheapest fence that can be built. fn order to fence against hogs, I would drive down short posts and put on boards about tiwo feet, and put the wires above, but nearer together. 1 think that no hog ihet ought to go at large would ever get through. For all other kinds of stock it would lie impenetrable. A neighbor of mine, n ho is compelled to fence against a whole village of street cows, put but two strands across a stream, where his fence washed away, and it has proved a perfect protection. I have seen the cows walk up to it, but have never known one to attempt to get through, although the tenp intion between a fresh pasture and the dry streets was very great, I have no doubt.
