Thelm recent ou trage pe rpet rated upon thei El Dor-ado, b~y the Spanish main of war, is exciting sonie of t hat interest which its imtportance- 'demads.

On Saturday morning last the late ri. oters on the North Easterna Road, twenty. three in number, were brought. before Judge Wirms for sentence. .Aftr a very appropriate and well timed nddress by tihe Judge, they were sentenced each to six moniths imprisnntent and a fine of five dlollrs. 'I is has terinated the most formida ble attemp1. surely in manty years, in the borders of our State by n hand of rioters, to set law and'order at deliance. We entertain no common horror of mobs and riotous assembinges even when they ap. pear to be urged on by just. And generr'us impulses-when the passions of men are otnce unbridled am1 permitted to bear them beyotid ilhe strict limits of the law, it is impossible to predict to what issues their phrenzy may not lead them.

MESSRS EDrons:-'-Under the above caption, I see an editorial in the Daily Carolina Times,in which the imne. diate epture of Cuba and the formIA tion, of it Southern Republic is urged. However I may agree with the edotor as to the necessity of vindicating 56- -a natioial honor and proeetinig iivh ,ate our national ffag, I ctaint see tha * thew acqjuisition of Cuba it. any vy is iecessary to the formaniton of u South erni Republic, or vuuld nseessarily result int its formnation. I doubt not buit that, to somae exten,.every reflsct, inag ai has lost cufidence' in thew national 1'eling towards the protectiort of Sou.hern institut'ions; yet at the presenat Limae there are ano active no-, Lives to propI)t the people to act in' their own behalf upon the subject; antJ the acquisition of Cuba is a national question. True it may more immedi ately concern the South than the North, and the prospective of our country mnay well have its bearing in the formation of the public Southern ainid. But if we are to have Cuba and a Southern republic both, it were tmuch b--tter thatdCuba should first be nationalized before a Soamhern Re public is fI tmed. I' tile South were iaw cuat I.o1se from th Northi and aIll sympathy destroyed between us and the balanaco of tie world, we should have enough to do to keep our ship f'rma f'oundering, without the incum brance of such a discordant commiuni ty as Cuba would present upon throw-. iag off the yoke of tile present gov eraannenaat. In aiiy phase of the ques tiona, whether viewed nationally or' sectionally, I arn opposed to the a. riuisition tot' Cauba unless it, become a matter of necessity. Under certain eoatiigeanees t c lecessity would be thrulst auo uts; but until those con. tingencics arise, or allairs assume a difl'erent, aspect, we had better let the sulbject rest. 11 Spain thinaks to take advantage of her strong allies-and the Cuban .authorities fijr the same reason, orbe.t cause oaf the irresponsiaility of its gov, erniet, is insaultng-and to perpe. trate itilignities .npol our flag, the Um1tted States anust be prompt in re.. pelling sucl insults "though the heav. eis tall."
