Correspondence in Relation to the Same.

New York, Dec. 30.—A Washington dispatch says, the present prospect of peaceable settlement of our difficulties with Spain, and of her renewed energy and wisdom, in the pacification of Cuba, is so good that unless a now unforseen, and unexpected change should occur, there is no probability of hostilities or of necessity of such intervention as was foreshadowed in the Presidents message. The Spanish property owners in Cuba have but recently been made to boar a large part of the burden of war, and their suffering have disposed them to uree peace and good Government as means to

Ea,

eace an expert financier is now|in Cuwith power to rearrange the finances and to make important reforms of all kinds, in which labers he will have the assistance of Jovellar, the new Captain General.

TItaBaeyros Reaper.

The columns were fillod each spring with items in regard to the probable establishment here of the extensive reaper manufactory now located at Bucyrus, Ohio. Mr. Biddlo, President of the company, was here two or three times looking up the inducements which our citizens might offer. What he proposed to do was to erect large branch shops which would give employment to a large number of men, and better thau all keep tho money of our farmers at home, thus accomplish, ing the initial step towards the aboli-. tion of hard times. With the coming on of winter and.closer iimes, the project was temporarily abandoned, but will be renewed next spring.

Mr. Butz, former proprietor of the National House has offered to give the company all the land required from his farm near Maxville, and we understand that his proposition meets with considerable favor. It may be that in this manner the large quantity of land over the river will be raised by the individual owners of small lots and reclaimed to usefulness. Speed the day when those bottoms shall blossom like like a roso.
