A Young Hero.

A friend relates to us the following fact.
which would give its subject a wide fame,
but for his crime Of a colored skin A boy
about fifteen years of age, who was formerly
a slave in Virginia, has resided for about
three years with his young master" in Bal
limore; but, for some trifing offence, the
stakeholder resolved 10 send him again to
Virginia. The boy knowing that it would
lessen his chances for freedom, refused 10 90,
He was seized, and forcibly thrust on board
The steamboat for Norfolk, 10 be sent TO Pc
tersburg, and so closely watched till the boat
left, that he could not escape. But DESPAIR
could not quench his love Of liberty. WATCH
ing his opportunity, when the boat was we'll
under weigh, and some two or three miles
from shore, he leaped overheard, resolved to
swim while he could, and then resign him
self 10 his fate, welcoming death rather than
slavery. Fortunately for the brave boy, he
soon discovered a floating plank, and selling
it, he sustained himself upon it TO the shore,
and started for a land Of liberty. Every gen.
erous heart will rejoice with him that he has
gained The rich blessing which he has so no.
bly, earned. But the cheek of every Ameri.
can should Jingle with shame to know that
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS has been of.
Tered by the kldnapper for The recapture of
this young hero, and his return into slavery.
Thanks TO the free hearts at the North, whose
humanity Is stronger than constitutions and
laws, he IS beyond the reach of the man-thief.

The Secret Erpedition.-Commander RAN
dolPh of the sloop-of-war Albany, lying off
Round Island, has notified the persons en-
camped there to leave Immediately, as he
threatens 10 commence a blockade and cut off
their provisions. He accuses them of being
vagabonds with unlawful intentions. He
says tina: he will prevent the steamer from
coming to take them TO sea, and will do all
in his power to ~disperse them.

Correspondence Of the Cleveland Herald.
WASHINGTON, August Is, Is49.


Since my former communication in refer
ence to this matter, l have learnt that the
number Of Americans required by the c%onspi-
rators for the descent upon the Havana, is
4,000-a large portion of whom are enlisted
and are receiring pay ! Small vessels are al
ready engaged for the transport of arms and
munitions in advance, TO a small island near
Cuba, at which the buccaneer fleet is TO rem
devious and prepare for the attack. The no.
torious Col. White, who figured in the early
part Of the Mexican war, and afterward raised
a regiment at New Orleans to assist the Yu-
catecos against the Indians, is in New York
with sufficient money at his command and
actively engaged in e~nlisting troops. Other
similar characters are associated with him in
the contemplated scheme. 1t is evident that
the Cubanos are in an advanced state of prep
aTation for the outbreak, and are awaiting the
arrival of their allies from the States for il
would be worse than ool.hardy for a light ar.
mament with only 1000 men to think of
siormlng the impregnable walls of the Ha-
vsna, unless they expected the most efficient
aid and cooperation from the people on shore,
or from the garrison itself. 1t will be remem-
bered that the harbor Of Havana is in shane
like an ox'bow, and that at The entrance,
which is quite narrow, are the massive and
frowning battlements Of Moro Castle. In all
its appointments it is an object of admiration
and terror.
The SECRET ExPEDITIoN.-The sudden
appearance Of the U. S. s~loop-of. war Albany,
off Round Island, on Wednesday evening
last, created some excitement there, where
there are congregated about 400 Of The men
enlisted for the secret expedition. The rank
and file, being as yet entirely ignorant Of
their destination, take but lille interest in
the matter, but there is evidently considera-
BILE uneasiness among those in command, al

President Taylor may put forth his proc

ranny as despotic as that which exists in Gu

from going where he pleases to fight for an
oppressed people against their oppressors.-
thousands of our gallant sons will 90 to that
glorious island 10 rescue it from Spanish or
negro domination, if called on by The peopEe of
Cuba. They will not allow this garden spot

this gate OF the Mississippi river-more i'm

TIL BUGLE.
The Cuba Plot.

The annexed extract from a late New York
letter of "the Washington Union" makes
some rather remarkable additions to The ru-
mors current respecting this mysterious move
ment:
"Under these circumstances, and under
the belief that the English, French, and A
merican population of the island will gladly
exchange the antiquated rule of old Spain for
laws, institutions, privileges, and influences
in the State more in accordance with the spir-
it Of the age, a large number of wealthy Gre
ole families and individuals are preparing to
assert the independence of the island on the
first favorable opportunity. They have bought
arms, military stores, &C., to a large extent
in this country and England, almost all of
which have long since passed beyond the ju-
Tisdiction of the United States and Great
Britain, having been landed and stored (not
IN Cuba, bat eisewhere) al points most COME
nisnt for The purposes Of The natire Cubans.
For two years past they have been buy
ing such merchandise literally among us, as
IN England ; and there are now a large num-
Der Of wealthy and patriotic Creoles of the
island in the United States, ostensibly trav-
cling for pleasure, but really picking out men
from among those distinguishing themselves in
Tie Mertcdn tcar, whose names and expert
ence would, if identified in the first move
ment, be likely at once to create a deeper
sympathy in their cause in the breast of the
American people, while it could not fail to
inspire confidence in their ultimate success
on the part Of all residents of their island.
Thas, it is understood that had General
WORTH lived, he would ere this have resign
ed his commission in the American army,
and commenced planting in Cuba, TO be rea-
dy TO head the movement whenever essayed.
Ihe leaders in the proposed enlerprise-those
who furnish the oubtedly consid-
cred him pledged to this purpose, and have
lately been sadly put to it 10 supply the want
Of an American commander-in-chief of gal
liant daring, great experience and reputation
equal, in moral effect, to half an army"
The Washington correspondent Of the
Journal Of Commerce says, Aug. 26lh:
"Since | have arrived here, | have heard
much more than | am willing to tell in re.
gard to the movements in this country for the
conquest Of Cuba. | know the place where
