'Theare is no doht, but that our pre
sent relations with Spain, in regard to the
island of Cuba, are of a seritus and criti
cal cliaroeter and fraught with deep and
special interest to the Southern States
of tie Union, who have op to this time re
iained passive spectators and disapprov
ing jnIcs of the filibustering attempts
froi the North for the acquisition of this
rich key to our Pacific possessions. The
Soul Ii and the United States cannot now
tatiely look upon the united attempt of
Spain, France and England in Cuban
unn cipationl, and the estabishnent thus,
of an exp!(oive tine upon our Southern
border. Self defence talls us into action,
andi as the only retnedy now left, Cuba
ultt be ours, ours for holinutity'sc sako.

MEssRs. UiTrons : The Literary worhi
has been in suspenwe for some time awail
ing the result of the lihel suit of Forrest
vs. Willis-dalaiges being hla at $0,
000. The point to be settled is, whether a
critic can speak or write untruths concern.
ing a public character untder plea of " lib
erty of the press." Our opinion and the
opinion of most persons is that it cannot be
done and should not be allowed. Mtill,
Mr. Forrest is acting fiolishly to sue such
a notoriously poor, vain, soft-headed author
as Willis is.
The Court Martial for the trial of Major
Vise has not yet adjourned. Public feel.

G rcelcy's Military Women.
The public demonstrations of women at
he North have assumued so ninny shapes
tAd have been addressed to so many ob
ects that one might have supposed it in
tossible for ingeneuity to devise a novelty.
t is not safe to suppose anything, however,
vhcre such women are concerned, and in
aupport of this very dilli'Jent conclusion wo
vould present to our readers an exhibition
ipon a plan that certainly has the claim of
>rigimdality. We learn Iron the Tribune
lait "our city, (New-York) is to be visited
an Tuesday next by three unformed com
patties of orga.1tized and disciplined Fenalo
Infantry (Lancer;) from Pennsylvanitrand
New .ler-ev, known as the Fairy Light
Guard, commanded as a battalion, by a
masculine Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel;
but the several companies will be officered
throughout by ladies, including captains
'at hors.eback. The battalion will be met
it. the Jer-ey City Ferry, at 10 o'clock, by
a coinpany of our National Guards, and
escorted to the Park, where our fair visit
Irs will give evidence of their proficiency
in military evolutions and exercises, repair.
ing thence at an crly hour to the Astor
Hlouse for dinner, visiting the American
Musetmn in the afternoon, and spending
thle eve ning at the Cr+"stal Palace, whence
they will take up their botneward marce.''
The E.r-press pathetically inquires what
all the children of these women are to do
at home, wlilst their mothers are parading,
,vlich is rather an unageanerous insinuation
in the face of the assurance which the
'I'riburne gives " that the 'Fairy Light
Guard' is composed of some of the best
educated and most extimable young ladies
of Paterson and Ehizabethtown, N. J., and
of IIurrisburg, Pa.-a l between fourteen
and eighteen years of age-a daughter of
a late Governor of New Jersey being
among them." The parade of these wo
msen is supposed to be totally unconnected
withi Barnumi's effort to revive the Crystal
'alace.
We have tmnt with nothing to match this
in modern tines, but as the nearest ap
proach to it in point of moral dignity, we
give the march of Abyssinian Monkeys,
which will be found in another column.

conclusive, or point to more than one case.
