A sin gle daily or weekly paper, of sound principles and ably conducted, reg ularly and carefully read, will fur nish an amount of valuable informa tion which uo citizen can afford to be without. Every housekeeper iu the land should have a paper iu his fam- iv. He owes it to himself, his chil dren. his party and his country.— There are few men who cannot afford to take, aud pay for at least two good papers; and every sincere Democrat should feel this to bo his bounden duty. A great fault with many peo ple (and Democrat» are not free from it) is that while they subscribe promptly enough for papers, they are exceedingly careless aoout pay ing the publishers. They must have their papers regularly; but seem to think the publishers cau live, sup port their families, and meet all the expenses of publication without money, and so let theirdues lie over unpaid for months and years, great ly to the embarrassment of the pub lishers. And when called on at last for payment not a few tliiuk ill of creditor for asking what is his due, aud which is indeed indispensable to keep up his paper. AH'this is very wrong. We should not only sub scribe and read the papers advocat ing and sustaining onr principles and our party, but pay for them prompt ly, and think it no hardship. Apro pos of professional politicians, who do little or nothing to support the political press; if we see a man anx ious for political preferment in his party, aud ever aud anon before the public ¡or some position of honor and profit, and fiud out, as often us we may, that he has money for other purposes, but noDe to support and uphold the press of his party, we should take care not to rely too im plicitly upon his fidelity to the prin ciples he professes. While all Dem ocrats ought to feel it incumbent up on them to do something toward sus taining tbe political journals o f the party, our men of large means ought to feel it especially their duty to do so. But the misfortune is, that too many of this class are so much de* voted to utilizing and promoting tbeir individual business and for tunes that they feel hut little con cern whether tbeir party has any able and efficient circulation or not. There are many exceptions, we know, but still, what we have said is true to an extent quite too large.

W ashington . Nov. 22.—At the Cabinet meeting yesterday, which lasted fou rand one half hours,official dispatches submitted confirmed tbo belief that there is no more reason to abandon tbe idea of attaining a just conclusion than there was yes terday. The sensational tales now so rife may have a temporary effect, but the facts remain as they were when we announced the receipt of official information that the Spanish Cabinet is unanimous in favor of a satisfactory aud honorable settle ment of tbe Virginias difficulty, but a regard for the maintainance of S]iflnish territory is essential. When it is understood that no new devel opments have occurred since this announcement was made (except those regarding tlie obedience by Borriel of the oommands of the Cas- telur Government), it must he ac cepted as a favorable indication of the honest purpose of that govern ment to deal justly. It will, there fore, appear tliat the situation prom ises favorable, if not peaqefnl re sults. Our Government will, never theless, continue its preparations in anticipation of unfavorable results. It is now almost certain that delays will occur to such au extent that tho case will necessarily be presented to Congress in an incomplete condition. No dispatches have been received confirming the report of a second at tempt to kill General Sickles. Work on the Charleston Navy Yard pro gresses briskly. The impression prevails at Wash ington that Congress will recognize the Cubans as belligerents at once. W ashington , Nov.^21.—The super intendent of the mounted recruiting service has been ordered to send all disposable colored cavalry recruit» to Fort Brown, Texas, to the Ninth Cavalry. N ew Y ork , Nov. 21.— About 4,000 Germans held a meeting in Germania Hall to night, to express sympathy with the Cubans. B. 8. Cox read a seriesof resolutions which he intends to lay before Congress. Animated speeches were made by prominent Germans. N ew O rleans , Nov. 21.—A large and enthusiastic meeting was held hero to night for the discussion of Cuban affairs. C harleston , Nov. 21.—News from Madrid causes great excitement, and much anxiety is felt about tho cou- uition of Forts Sumpter and Moul trie. N ew Y ork , N ov . 21.—'There is in creased activity in the Brooklyn Navy Yard—2,G00 men at work and six vessels preparing for service. A ugusta , Ga., Nov. 21. —Alexan der H. Stephens leaves to-morrow morning for Washington. Though still feeble, he hopes to be able to remain at his post during the session of Congress. In an interview to-day he said: “ I am for Cuba immediate ly, if not sooner.” He thinks that the movement to take possession of Cuba will bring about good feeling between the North and South. Foreljfu. M adrid , N ov . 23.—The reports that violence had been offered by the Madrid populace to Gen. Sickles are pronounced as false. President Castelar had a long con ference to-day with Layard, British Minister, resulting in a lavorablo continuance of good relations. The idea of submitting the case of the Virginias to arbitration is much talked of. Should this course be agreed to, the German Emperor is indicated as the probable arbitrator. L ondon , N ov . 24.—Tho agent of the Associated Press here is author ized by Miuister Sickles to say that there is no foundation for the report published in New York on the 21st to the effect that he (Sickles) had broken off social relations with the foreign Minister, and that he had ex pressed the opinion that war is in evitable. The agent is also author ized to state that official and personal relations between Minister Sickles and Spanish officials are unchanged, and that Sickles has not expressed any opinion as to the pending ques tion. H a v a n a , Nov. 5t4.—The prospect of a war with tin* United States seems to be accepted bore. The Captain General aud his military chiefs are having frequent consultations. A c tive preparations for defending Ha vana are making. Guns are being mounted in all forts around tlie city. Who are to man theca nobody knows, as they have no competent artillery men. The Spaniard» talk warlike, aDd deprecate the idea of making any concessions. The say they will fight to the last before snrrendering the Virginius or tbe crew. Conser vative journals daily excite warlike feeling, aud Republicans occasion ally concur, lest they be thought un patriotic. The Spanish official report shows that over 100 of the Virginius people were executed. M adrid , N ov . 21.—Sickles has suspended preparations which he was making to leave the city.
