Editors.-A recent editorial in your able journal induces me to address to you a few remarks upon the Africanization or Cuba; a subject no longer to be regar ded as a fillibustering fiction of heated brains, but as a stern and impending reality, to be now grappled with by the people of the Southern States. It becomes of intense in. terest us, to know who are the parties now urging this measure, and by what results it would be followe( Twenty millidna of dollars, annually wrung from the Creoles of Cuba, are enjoy ed by the Queen of Spain, the Captain Gen eral, and the twelve thousand or fifteen thou sand Spaniards, whose bayonets have hith. erto preserved the peace of the ever fitiful Isle. What interest have they in the future of Cuba ? Isabella craves the acquisition of present wealth for the pursuit of shame. less profligacy; the Captain General regards solely the rapid accumulation of private for tune ; and the soldiprs are Spanish mercena. ries, without a single bond of union with the unhappy land ' which writhes beneath lie iron hand of military despotism. They ill stand ready to slay the goose, which an. ually lays for them a golden egg, provided mly that the rpoils be rich. The prodiic ive industry of the Island is now taxed to is highest limit, and the sole modo of increas og the revenues of the Spanish Government ies in the importatibn of African labor. The slave trade, branded as piracy by all ivilized nations, and exterminated in every pot but Cuba, has become too dangerous for ontinuance; but the African Apprentice ysten, under which negroes are imported iid viitually sold into slavery for a limited rm of years, offers an unlimited supply of heap labor for theplanter. No man who -j fainmiliar with the history of the Spanish 0 ice, can feel a doubt concerning the fate of t e African apprentices, doomed to labor for tern of years under the rule of a cruel and b nrfidious people. Tlie most cold blooded -ielties which the .world has ever witness. ti 1, have been perpetrated by the Spanish , ce, which originated the hideous tortures a the Inquisition, propagated the peaceful jf Iris by grievous toll aid cruel sulerings, -til broken and wretched remnant will be pi ned loose and a fresh supply thrown in ; a I the process repeated, until the island ov arms with a ruthless free black population, m I is left as a second Hayti. upon our su ders. 1ho l'his is the atrocious scheme now In pro- tec s ft, execution by the Spanish Govern- clh it, the Captain General and the Spanish an reenaries in Cuba. Conceived and promp- ma by British policy, it is applauded by inf 1 hearted enthusiasts like Gerrit Smith, regarded with delight by sundry nialig. ts, as Greely, Wake and Beecher, and N. 2rs of like stamp. But this project for and :ting an empire of black heathens upon Dui Southern coast, will, when fully under. i.1 Id, inevitably excite against its advoeties to active and bitter enidty of the miass of " to Aierican peioptle. Naw 'lie abolitionists at the North are now ling with delighit over a Spanish paper ,inn uitly started in New York for advocating A f policy of emauncipatinig and amnalgama- presh ini Cuba, but like thre apples of the De'ad foui it will turn to ashes on their lips. bani ll'n/alo, the paper referred to, is said by ?MC Cubans, to be edited by a mzullatto, toal supported by funds from the Captain erarl for the purpose of creating dlissen.

It will not do for any r' town or community tosit with their arms folded and do nothing, while their neighbors are avail rle, ing themselves of all the advantages presented' rs, by railroad communication. The enterprise we now allude to is a road L- proposed to be built from Wilmington to Char lotte,about 120 miles, we believe, being one of link in a road to be called the " Atlantic, Ohio he and Tennessee Railroad," connecting Wilmino ton by the most direct route with th'e Valley of the Mississippi. A large and enthusiastic meet ting was held in Charlotte on Wednesday last, at ot which Dr. Fox read letters from citizens of Ten nessee and Vilnington, and resolutions adopted by a recent meeting of the latter, expressing the interest felt by the people of those sections in this great enterprise, and inviting the co-opera is tion of the citizens of Charlotte. Resolutions approving and endorsing the work were passed, aind deleglates appointed to the Convention to meet at Wilmington on the 25th inst. s It behooves us, in view of this contemplaled road, to set to work in earnest about building the Columbia and Hamburg Railroad. A line from the engineer, who is now making the pre liminary survey, mentions that the route he is now engaged on,and which he is nearly through with, will only be about 66 oa 67 miles. lie will return by the Ridge route.
