The utiesHon of Cuban munuIiuu is the

fcrr&t Congress and keep them in session for
My length of time. A quorum has not been
prwwnt during tho week, ami theif action is
nil deferred until Monday, when a renewal
of busiueas of some character may bo expected.
The annexation of Cuba will arise upon
the acquisition, miller as a cessation of the
continual movements that are apprehended,
Had which will ultimately result in war for
its successful incorj?ori?tion, than any immediate
cause of alarm to our institutions. The
commissioners to adjust by purchase, or such
action as will force the island into our poe- j
session, TRrsiS oc appointed it Uotigress sanctions
the executive in his course. The mean-,
to defray the expenses of the embassy will
elicit tho force that the question has unon
the different sections, and its condition when
annexed*
The acquisition of the island must be as
hlave territory. That will not bo overlooked
which has nevor been lost sight of in all the
territory acquired by this governmeut. The
Nebraska excitement has so distempered the
mobs of the North, that everything, person
aud action, must bow to the popular will, no
matter under what shape it is proposed. How
Is threatened, and the force of resistance is
only checked by a corresponding power.
When such movements are made in direct
nnixtsilion ti> tlin nau^r nf flirt aiUhnrthM I
the revolutionizing Cuba will not be oolisid- j
ered too iiitpidMule. There is an anxiety
in tJio island which to Spain has become
manifestly a source of annoyance and apprehension.
The condition of her treasury may
lead to the purchase, which will be the main
proposition m the instructions to the commissioners.
What amount is to be offered
cannot now bo estimated. The debate iu
Congress will exhibit the strength of the
measure, and then can be counted the mil
uons mat is to bo pani tor that winch will i
inevitably be a portion of this confederacy,
though it may cost in men and menus the
tmin that only war can contemplate. The
stop to be taken in this now proposed negotiation
is the acquisition of Cuba. The noise
about redress for revenue exactions, and the
rcmoto africanizatiou, are not prominently the
purpose to be effected. True, they arc policy,
the cause of action ; but that Cuba must
be a sovereignty of this Union is the declaration.
Tho-Paoific railroad bill will receive a
thrust from Colonel Benton, who has just i
discovered the impracticability of his preeminent
route.
Archbishop Iluglies has written a lengthy
reply to (leneral Cass' speech in the .Senate
on the free exercise of religious worship in
foreign countries by. American citizens.
The Know Nothing party have elected the
mayor in Philadelphia, and much anxiety is
felt for the democratic successes in that State.
The report that the administration used any
means to seeure the election of municipal officers
here is denied.
I am informed the officers for the Torritories
will he sent ni to-morrow. Many are
anxious, and the result will be gratifying to
those who are waiting the determination of
the President Upon these appointments |
depend the, position these future States will
take in the Union.
Opening of Japan.?Further information
does not permit us to douht the accuraof
the rumor contained in our yesterday's issue
with regard to Commodore Perry's success
in obtaining all the privillages we desired
from Japan. We have yet to learn the ex- j
act terms on which our vessels are to l?e permitted
to trade to the islands ; but so long
as commerce is tolerated in some shape or
other, it will obviously depend upon ourselves
to arrange matters as we desire hereafter.
If, as is stilted, three ports are opened to us
in one year, and we are allowed to trade at
those ports with somewhat spore freedom
than the Dutch have been at Nangassaki,
we shall have little more to ask. Three
- coaling stations would be even more than
we expected; anil when we bear in mind
the extent, population and wealth of the
Japanese Islands, we must certainly admit j
that the commercial prospects which the
access of Perry's expedition opens to us, are
actually more brilliant than tlioseT wliich were
called into existence by the famous treaty
with China opening the five ports. Previous
to that bargain, wo had some sort of intercourse
with China; we have had none
with Japan; and there is no solid ground
for believing that the trude of the latter will
dc less eonsiueraoie than that of the former.
Indeed, it is more than probable that for the
present at least wo shall monopolize tho entire
foreign trade of a country an populous
and as wealthy as Great Britain and France
together.
This will bo some consolation to the fainthearted
people who have been dreading all
sorts of calamities in consequence of the fail-!
ing off in the receipts of California gold. We
never rested our hopes of the future of our i
l'acilic States on so poor a basis as that ine- i
tal; we looked to the more lasting and solid
resources of agriculture and foreign trade. (

We know liis letters will prove
interesting to our readers. We intended
publishing the letter of our Charleston correspondent,

HO! FOR A HOT SUPPER.
Tiib ladies of the lower part of Greenville
District,near Lebanon Church,intend giving a
Hot SuppIkr on Friday evening next, at 8
o'clock, P. M., " for the purpose of finishing
and outfitting" the said church. It is to be
hoped that the laudable effort on the part of
the ladies will be seconded by our citizens
auu oiners or rne juistnct. >vitn pleasure
we accept (how coulJ wo otheru ise ?) the
kind invitation to be present, and Rlmll endeavor
to persuade others (at least one) to go
with us.
FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Wb received on Monday last, one of the
largest and handsomest. IVxjuct of Flowers
that we have had the pleasure of receiving
or seeing this spring, from a lady of the good
Old North State. She not only sent us the
(lowers, but. also her post-office, address, &c.,
in order that the Enterprise might find its
way to her home, and promised to send us
more (llowers) if we would accept them.
"Small favors thankfully received, larger
ones in proportion." Price of the paper fcl.50.
THE LADIES AND THE ENTERPRISE.
Scarcely a day passes that we do not receive
from " this fairer portion of mankind"
some token of their esteem and like for our
little bantling. # We shall ever endeavor to
merit the kind favors and approving smiles
of the ladies, and in doing so, we shall feel
that we arc performing a high and honorable
duty. To cull and eater for their fancy
is, to us, a pleasant task, and the knowledge
of our having been successful in the attempt
is likewise a pleasant reflection.
THE "LAST ECLIPSE.
Much has been said, and many the amusing
things which originated in its having
frightened some, (poor devils,) disappointed
others, who looked for a? total eclipse and the
going to roost of chickens; but the best and
latest "cucumber saying" was made in our
presence a few days since, by a young lady
from the country. On being jocosely asked
why she didu't cotnc to town on the day of
the eclipse, replied, that "she was very much
engaged at home on that day, and it was
impossible for her to 'come to town,' besides
she didn't feel like walking that far to see it 1"
?
"THE QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAINS."
The editor of the Yorkvillo Rcinrihj has
our thanks for the handsome compliment
paid us, and for dubbing our truly beautiful
village with tho nbovc appropriate name.
Greenville could have claimed tho honor ere
this of being the raofit delightful place ui
the up-country, but her modesty has always
prevented her from accepting it, being content
with knowing that her loveliness and
grandeur was appreciated and felt by all
who may have seen or known her. She only
waits for the establishing in her midst of the
contemplated Female College, then to bo
crowned, in fact, the " Queen of the Mountains."
But hear what the editor says!
" We hav#t?eeived the second number of
a new pnj>er published at Greenville, called
the Enterprise, and edited and published by
W. P. I'kioe. Jt presents a neat and well
executed appearance, and its matter arjrues
woll for the taste and talent of its editor. We
wish the Enterprise every success, and enterj
it with pleasure on our exchange list. Greenville
lias now a College, a Railroad, and three
newspapers. She is now ready for her coronation
as Queen of tbo Mountains."
A Voice from Home.?The Dahloncga

of our paper. Wo publish it, not that we
like to re-publish puffs of ourtelf, but because
it comes froin our former home, and

JU08E DOUGLAS AND THE NEBRASKA
BILL.
Tot gentleman whose name heads this
article, and who has recently made himself
favorably knbtm to the whole country by his
close connection with the great Nebraska and
Kansas questions, j^nt recently discussed in
and triumphantly passed both Houses of our
National Council, will, we think, from present
indications, become the candidate for the
next Presidency. r
Opponents of ^|he measure may rave?
infuriated and lawless men may burn in effigy,
and pour out the vilest calumny and denunciation
upon the man, Judge Douglas,
yet we believe his name will outlive tire fagot,
and blessings be pronounced upon it by
i generations yet unborn, for his manly and
! efficient defence of popular rights and piiv
ilegos. It may be said that the Territorial
question was a bobby upon which be might
ride into the Presidency ? that instead of
producing peace and contentment between
the North and South, it would oj>en still wider
tho deep rivers of strife which seperate
them. The utter fallacy of the latter assertion
is now being seen in the wholesome efflecta
which tho measure is producing. In
proof, however, to sustain thein in their illiberal
views, they refer us to leading Abolition
journal, (to all clever thinking peoplo a sure
indication of its tendency for good,) showing
how greatly the peoplo arc incensed at its
passage, and against its great proieetor.?
The New-York Herald, a paper whose opinions
have been 44 bought and sold " more
than once since the commencement of President
Pierce's administration, is referred to
as an exponent of j>opular opinion. The
Tribune is quoted?displaying the feelings
of its prime editor, Horace Greeley, and
mirrowing the sentiments of Wkndall Phillips,
John P. IIall, Giddings and others
of like stamp. Are Southerners to take
such evidence as the true Northern sentiment
} Arc we to believe all that such
characters tell us ? We predict that a few
months will bring those hot-heads to a sense
of their position. With a Government like
ours?with an administration pledged to
support the laws and dignity of the country
peace and harmony must reign.
What has the South gained by the passage
of the Bills iu question ? we hear asked
from some quarter disposed to bo displeased
with any and all measures intended for the
public weal.
It will be remembered that the North
bas ono more State than tbe South. "When
California (the last) was admitted into the
Union, it destroyed the equanimity then existing
between the two great sections of otir
country?the North and South. By the
passage of the Nebraska Bill, the Missouri
Compromise has been rendered obsolete, and
the great question, that Congress has no
right to legislate upon the subject of slavery,
fully established. The South has, we believe
gained moro by the passage of the Bill in
question, and the principles of the l>emocratic
party everywhere sustained a greater triumph
than was ever achieved to them by
..r IT ci?..? T
uio jw-nauc vt A' u^iinv nr?? vi un
ndo]>tii)ii of any other measure of which we
are aware. #iow that the principle lias been
fully established that slavery may exist in
latitude north of 30o 30', we have no doubt
but that several more slave states will l>c organized
and admitted into the confederacy,
composed of the territory now belonging to
the United States. Wc predict at least.Iwo
: more new SatC3 out of the territory taken
from Texas. The friends of Cuba, in the
I South, expect another from the acquisition
of that island, and St. Domingo another, and
should Mexico eventually be annexed to the
United States, at least three may be anticipated.
Ft avails but little to the Sobth
; whether free-soil territory or nyt is made of
V~I 1 1 17 fi ! !il. iL.
ncurnn&n una jyuhmus. it rcwiiiM wiui uie
I people of tho9o territories to determine that
matter. Be that ns it may, the South has
great reason to be proud of the recent teat
upon a question which vitally concerns her
and her institutions. We cannot leave this
portion of our subject without' noticing the
noble manner in which the Southern members,
with but few exceptions, sustained the
measure. Of the one hundred and thirteen
votes which the Nebraska Bill received, we
are happy to notice the names of forty-four
from the free States. And we find in co-oporation
with the Democracy fourteen whigs
from the SouUiern States, standing fast, and
aiding to pass this popular measure. Their
names will go down to latest posterity honored
:?nd revered.
iMit, to return to judge uolgi.ass ana
his chance for the next Presidency. There
is not one spot upon the man's character, so
far as we have been enabled to discover in
reviewing bis Hfe which may be exceptionable,
and there is no page in his life's history
which will reflect greater credit and honor
upon him than that which commemorates
his recent valuable services Jo his country
and the constitution in thn^nftasure recently
before Congress. In conversation recently
with a gentleman from Illinois?the home
of Judge Douot ass?we were informea that
no one enjoyed tho confidence of his constituency
more than ho does. And although
our informant was disposed to give hi? ad- t
herenco to the "whig party,- he was not in- 1
clined to withold " honorfrora whom honor 1
is due,11 and gave it as his* opinion that (
juuge ijouolam coum not outy command
the entire confidence of Lis own, but that
of almost tho whole whig party in the State.
Let him but persevere in the straight-forward
and consistent manner which has heretofore
marked his course, and ho will not
only claim his own sec?hn of country, but
the entire ftonth will join in praise to the
man who is now and ever has been entitled
to their confidence.

Letter From Columbia. '
ColummAjS. C., June 12, 1854.
Mr. Editor:?Accuse us not of flattery, <
when we say that it affords us much pleas- .
ure to greet the advent of the "Enterjtrite." ^
It lias, more tlian equalled our most san- j
guinc expectations; and we trust we have ^
found at last a really independant press devoted
not to the interest of party but to the ]
welfare of the jieople.
The denizans of the beautiful City of the j
Oaks nro at prosont enjoying delightful ^
weather. The heat is rather disagreeable,
but occasional showers and the leafy trees j
in which our town abounds, render the
streets rather cool, and every evening, refreshing
breezes are wafted from tho river,
causing the sick and weary to revive, and
cooling the heated brow of the workiug
man.
It is pleasant to know and to announce
we will really have a cemetery in a short (
time! A company has been formed?a '
spacious tract of land purchased, and soon
the dead of Columbia will repose near the '
Rocky river. Birds will sing their requiem
and flowers of every hue adorn their graves.
How much better to let "dear departed
friends" thus be honored than to attempt to
confer honor, or elevate character by lofty
monuments that will survive at the longest
for a few brief seasons. Our people liave
not exhibited as much respect for the dead
as our northern friends have. This is a
sad, but a true, declaration. Let one visit
Mount Auburn, or Greenwood, and then the
Church-yards of our cities and villages.?
What a contrast It is time for us to be
moving in this matter and we hope that the
example oF Columbia in this respect will be
followed.
In the political world, the Eloctorial question
is exciting much interest, Col. John S.
I'heston, and general James II. Aoamh are
candidates for the Senate. The former gentleman
is a noble representative of Carolina
chivalry and in every respect qualified to fill
any office in tlie gift of tho people. General
Adams, the incumbent, has filled many important
stations in public life, and is well
known as a statesman and soldier. The
candidates for the lower House are too numerous
to mention. The canvass will doubtless
be An exciting one.
The action of tho late Tc?nperence Convention
has of course, waked up the "Liquor
Party." Sapient ones have found it to be
utterly unconstitutional for the people?the
sourco of all power?to express their opinion
on the enactment of a proposed law. Oh /
tempora, oh Moret / The Temperance organizations
in our city are progressing well
as fur as we are able to judge.
Wishing you all possible success and
hoping your uJKnterprise" may gain its due
reward and be valued at a high Price,

For Booth*rn Bnt*rprl**.
Mr. Editor :?Will you have the goodness
to periQit again through your paper, to
address a few sober considerations to the
people of Greenville respecting the Academies.
Time was when ours were the most flourishing
schools iif 'tho back country?the reafl
son was we had the best schools. Our
schools are^not only no better, but rather
* m
* ' *
torse tlimi they wore in those days/while I
rarious schools in the adjoining Districts 1
lave arisen, offering more advantages than
>urs and hence, they are flourishing while ;
>urs are stationary or rather declining. jj?"
ve desire flourishing institutions we mtist
>ffcr advantages. There is no complaint of <
vant of patronagoin the Furinnn Universi:y,
simply because there is in that insiitu:ion,
and in-process of procurement, all the
etpiisites and necessaries for imparting instruction.
The school will answer all the
reasonable wants of our population for the
present, as a high, school for boys; hut we
ire very deficient in the means of imparting
to our daughter^ that high instruction which
the age and tbo times require. ? : .
Header let me invite your calm unprejuIwuw)
rvtnci/lnmlinnQ fn u fnvv tviinfa onn
?d with (his matter. No ono I believe is
wtisfied with the present facilities for educating
our daughters. Our female Academy
us really now no better than a respectable
xmntry school, and that ^position has been
Utaiiicd, by standing still on our part while
>ur neighbors have advanced. Nojr a days,
'arge buildinga, extensive ap/xtratus, Jiur
1ibrary, with a corps of able faithful teachTJ,nre
all requisites for successful female high
Hjhools. The appliances are all brought to
bear upon Barhainville, Limestone, AndcrH)ii,
Asheville, Glenns Springs, Sjmrtnidturgh,
in fact no peoplo who reason ou this subject,
expect success on any other terms.
Now let me ask what arc the means at the
Jisposal of your board of Trustees by which
they are to secure those necessary appliances.
They have some ground and some
rery middling dwellings and school rooms.
Our local advantages are suj>erior to any
jther place. This is all the available resources
at tho disposal of t keyboard. When
* fence is broken down or a pain of glass
knocked out of a w indow, they arc forced to
wnd out a subscription and beg the necessa-y
amount, or put their hands in their ]tock?ts,
as they have generally done and pay
t themselves. While other institutions have
ine Libraries and we have none; while they
lave all the necessary apparatus and fncili:ics
for imparting instruction, and we have
lone; while they are provided with the
nouns of giving standing salaries equal to
irocuring teachers of the best talent and
lightest attainment, and our bonrd have
lone ; it is perfectly absurd to suppose, and
lone but n mad man or one entirely blinded
iy prejudice will suppose that our Trustees
?nn get up or maintain a school that can
compete successfully. It is nonsense to
tvaist time considering such an absurdity.
U<? MHO M uiu rutic UI IHCLM, x IIUUK
aono will deny. In view of them I ask what
'hall he done! We hare oocul&r demonstration
of what the Baptist denomination of the
State have done in getting up the Funnan
University, and it is understood they propose
to operate on the same plan for the
establishment of a Female College. Is itthe
interest of Greenville to unite with-them in
establishing, what Greenville needs ! Shall
Greenville contribute on her part the grounds
and buildings which she already has for
the purpose of female education, the money
and patronage which the town and district
can afford, to secure five or six times as much
of both from other and distant quarters t?
No man in his senses will give this question
a negative answer. Then what arc the objections?
Objection first; "it is taking what belongs
iYlCk wU/JA ? '* A ~ ~
V >? MUIV v*/UllllUIUbJ nuu ^ lU H
denomination." This, when axamined is
not even spacious, but glaringly untrue.?
It is simply the whole community going tnto
co-partnership with the Haptist denomination,
to secure greater benefits than can be
secured without tho partnership. The
school enlarged and oontroled by that denomination,
will be free to all who please to
avail themselves of its advantages. To that
in fact and in truth, instead of taking from
any it is adding to all. Header look around
on society, and tell mo how many girls you
see in the middling and poorer walks of life,
thnt conld manage to acquire a good education
if there was a female college in Greenville,
that under existing circumstances Would
never dream of such advantages. 1 say
make the examination, and then make the
calculation how much, they or their families,
or society or the next generation, has lost by
the operation.
Objection second : uviolation of prinei
ple.n This approaches the poetic. What
principle is violated ? Let us see. The
people of Greenville have a certain or particular
piece of property, and they, after due
deliberation, determine that they can make
it more profitable to all concerned by putting
it under different management, in effecting
it as proposed, what principle is violated
) Certainly none known to common
sense. . *
Objection third: MIt w contrary to Republicanism."
This ia distinctly poftic, for
noiio but a mind brilliantly imaginative
could have made the discovery. That
the majority of those eqeally interested,
should have the right to rule should be made
out contrary to Republicantan, is a-discovery
entirWjr boyond the reach* of mf What
n
... - 1.WMH" faculties
I therefore suppose it must be
the ofl&pring of poJfclA I never possessed.
Bat Mr. Editor, jesting aside, I hers ab
rosdy said more than I intended. Ths subject
is one in which 1 ieel a deep interest?
I cannot see now involving personal feelings
and hostilities CAn avail anything towards
the proper conclusion, and therefore I have
strictly avoided them. If you please to publish
this, let it he tuken by every body for
what they think it worth, for I have neither
the will, nor power to enforce my opinions
or others, except so far ns they may be
deemed true.- CATO.
