Affairs yes? terday were brighter than on any previous day since the commencement of the panic a week ago, and every one is now hopefid that by Mon? day the danger will have passed away. Avery large proportion of Friday's transactions have been settled by mutual agreement between contracting parties, and, with the prevention of coercive measures and the encouragement to continued forbearance and co-operation among sufferers by thc crash, it ls expected that not only will tottering bones be preserved, bot firms already bankrupt will be re-estab? lished." _Some serio--on-iic scenes have been report? ed in New York pince the beginning of the late gold panic. Thc latest incident of this charac? ter reported is, that after the ?old sneculutlorf the Hon. John Morrissey found himself the creditor of thc immortal Fish, Jr., to the tune Of $90,000, of which amount he tried in vain to obtain possession. As the story' gees, relying on his persona) vigor, the ex-pnglllst sent word by the sheriff or New York, that if that m was not paid within twenty-four hour should purchase a. cowhide, and use it i the interesting surgical, but unpleasant sonal, operation of flaying his debtor, anc the entire sheriff's force in thc county i not pr?ventrilm. When this announce was communicated to thc Prince of Erk latter at first resolved to sue out an Injune but he finally concluded that any trivial ot less than a hundred thousand was not v bothering about, and so he paid the mone -Wine-mafclng has just begun in the wa districts of California. Thc yield this ye expected to be only half as large as th last season, but the wine will be of a b quality. The Buena Vista estate, lu Sor County, said to be the largest vineyard ii world, contains five thousand acres, four dred and fifty acres being covered withi which grow so luxuriantly that they ha^ be planted in ridges eight feet apart, whl Europe from three to four feet ls gene sufficient. The vineyard contains grape all varieties, but tEbse chiefly grown arc Riesling, Muscatel and Mission, the latter lng the native grape. The labor employ< almost wholly Chinese, but a few Frenen and Gormans from European wine district tend to the cedars and superintend the v making. The Buena Vista champagne ls coming widely and favorably known, made in the same manner as the best Fri champagne, anc1 some choice vintages scarcely to be distinguished from the Euro] varieties. Thc Cuban Maddie? Whatever may have been the vi:1 er p darkies of President Grant's Cabinet cannot be said that there has been general disposition to adopt a bold or citied policy, whether in foreign affair the domestic concerns of the nation, resoluteness and timidity mark the wi course of the government, and no man f sure that the decision of to-day will not reversed on the morrow. The game of ; saw, however amusing in itself, is not likely to inspire confidence when pla persistently by the Executive of a mig people; but nothing better cnn be expec I from the weak head of a divided and i j traded council. The letter of our Washington correspo ent, published yesterday, supplies a forci illustration of the policy or no-policy of Grant administration. In spite of the hortation8 and expostulations of the Nor ern press, the government refrained fr I recognizing Cuba, or giving or allowing be given to the Cuban insurgents any si stantial aid. The United States could n without gross logical inconsistency, med in the quarrel between Spain and the '-G of the Antilles." Exaggerated statemei of the strength and successes of the revo tionists were wholly disregarded, and ste were taken to prevent expeditions, intend for their support, from leaving the Gulf a At'antic coast. All this was well enouj when followed by thc detention of the Spa ?sh gunboats; but here the chrouic wea ness of the administration showed itse the Cabinet allowing themselves to be p< suaded by the Cuban Junta to make a pt posai to Spain for the peaceable cession Cuba. At this point came in the note Minister Sickles to the Spanish Governmer than which no more roystering and pc valiant document lins t>eeii addffrwgnd hy powerful to a weaker nation. The Spani ministry promptly declined to hearken threats or to be swayed by intimidatio The martial spirit, dormant since the su ce88fnl war with Morocco, "was once mo aroused, and Spain allowed it to be plain seen that she had rather fight at a disa< vantage than submit to insolent dictatioi The note was in the worst possible tasti but little courtesy or savoir faire was e: pected from the notorious individual wi represents the United States at the Cou of Spam, and it was hoped that the refus; of the Senate to confirm his appointing would relieve the government from cm ba rassment, and wipe out the remembranc of a serious diplomatic blunder. The whole business was bad enough whil Sickles was believed to be the sole author < the note, but our Washington correspondeni lifting the veil of secrecy, declares authoritt lively that Minister Sickles was only "tb lowing the language of a cable telegrai from the Secretar}- of State." All was fis that cam? to the net of Sickles, and th hero of Gettysburg was doubtless gla enough to have an opportunity of showinj his own bluntness and the hectoring spiri of his government. President Grant am his Cabinet are, it seems, alone responsibl for what Minister Sickles has done; bu with charming vacillation may, before anoth er sun goes down, disavow their own. act and make ready to cast their Jonah into th? jaws of political oblivion. And what is the present attitude of tin United States Government towards Spaii and Cuba ? The prospects of the insur gents are gloomy in the extreme. Dissen sion and jealousy rob them of their strength their leading generals are accused of t reach er}*; the American volunteers are eager t( return to their homes. The career of UK Cuban rebels promises to be as brief as tha of their first man-of-war, the termination o whose bloodless cruise was announced ii the dispatches of yesterday. And ut tin moment when the clouds hang like a pal over the insurgent cuuse, the United State; rush headlong to the rescue, and tell Spair that our dogs of war must soon be unleash? ed if Cuba is not free. There might )>e sonu chivalry in talking in this way to a natioi of equal power and equal strength, but it h not the habit of this glorious country to hil one its own size. Nor will the government, we undertake to say, follow V2> its big wonk by brave deed*. The United States will nol go to war, even with Spain, however thc Cabinet and the pres3 may bluster. Nay, we venture the assertion that, despite thc Sickles note is government has 710 present intention nf r, 77 so far as a simple'recog? nition of the belligerent rights of the Cubans. ls not this a contemptible jrosition to be oc? cupied by a once proud ard united people? That Cuba will ultimately be annexed to the United States we do not doubt, but we do not look for thc immediate realization of the dream of thc Northern roy3terer3, who want moro iwlitical worlds to conquer. We have territory enough for all our wants, and if the Cubans know what *s good for them, they will put off as long as they can the consummation of their union with this coun? try. We sympathize with any people who fight for freedom and independence; but it is hard to see how the white Cubans could obtain either by joining their destinies, at this time, to those of the United States. Hints for Joarnuliitb-Hou to Manage ? a Newspaper. An old and experienced Western newspa? per man, Joseph Medill, of Chicago, lately delivered a lecture before a convention of Indiana editors and publishers, on the true road to success in journalism. The views advanced in the following extract are so sound and practical, and have, withal, so wide an application, that we copy and com? mend them to the attention of our friends of the Fourth Estate throughout tue South: '.One branch of the publishing business re? mains tobe mentioned before closing these remarks-advertising. I entirely disapprove of the practice, altogether too common, of taking column or half column 'ads.' on con? tracts for a year at a time, at greatly reduced rates. These advertisements are mostly quack medicines, lottery swindles, or humbug patent rights. Such advertisements are an abomina? tion in the sight of readers, particularly the detestable cuts which accompany them. To thrust this lying, swindling trash by the col umnfuL, cuts and all, Into the face of decent and respectable people, for a year at a stretch, is enough to cause them to discontinue their paper until the nuisance is abated. For all such advertisements you should charge single ralos, without discount, and demand advance payment. In addition to publishing this trash at shamefully low prices, printers are gene? rally, or frequently, swindled out of the pay promised, and I confess to a certain degree of satisfaction that they are cheated; for it ls a deserved punishment for inserting the stuff at such prices, on generous confidence, instead of cash down. The true way is to^make no contracts at less than monthly rates, and if any one insists on keeping an 'ad.' standing for six or twelve months, ohdrge him monthly rates, and collect every month. Open a "wants' department in your paper; put the price at not to exceed ten cents a line per insertion; en? courage thc people to make known their wants and transact their business through the col? umns of your paper; classify these advertise? ments under their proper heads, and insert them lu a conspicuous part of-your sheet. By a little tact and considerable perseverance, you can establish this line of advertising, and. once established, it will prove not only profit? able to the paper, but very useful to its patrons. When advertising is dull, fill up with reading matter and disquisitions on all kinds of local topics; and be not tempted to save composi? tion by taking in quarter-price quack medi? cines. The additional reading matter will, in the long run. help your paper more than enough to make good the cost ol' thc extra type-setting and loss ot' the humbug advertise? ments. Establish a living scale for advertis? ing, and adhere tenaciously to it. If your neighbor is so foolish as to cut under you. do not follow his weak example; for he will hurt ids own business far more than he can yours. Stand by your rates, and do us nearly a cash business as lt ls possible. Long credits is the bane that destroys so many newspapers. Jt is this slow poison that kills them, or causes them to drag out a miserable, sickly and unre mnnerative existence. All the expenses at? tending the publishing business are cash, and j unless you receive cash for your labors, how can you expect to succeed or prosper ?" Couarlncrsljiu Notices.
