1874 sides of upper leather about 395 Of solo leather and
about one dozen OF harness leather. Mr.. G. Alden
was the purchaser. We told ,ha, well conduct.
cd tan yard is a most profitable investment in this

warrant the attempt TO supply distant markets. We

THE SECRET ARMED EXPEDITION.

AhE SECNET ARMED EAFEDIAIVN.
The Washington Republic has = letter
from lis New York correspondent which fur:
nishes the following reliable account Of the
Expedition which called forth the recent Pro:
clamation Of the President of the United
States: ..- r,...t
sl have been engaged during The last ,wo
days in seeking authentic information Of the
relative TO the subject of the proclamation Of
the President, and believe that have not
not made the effort in vain. There is not
the slightest rooinfor doubt that well con:
cer,ed movement has been in progress. here
for some time past, and alsd at New Orleans,
in order TO enlist men for an armed and hos.
tile expedition against Cuba. H
have myself conversed with individuals
who where approached on the subject BY the
agents of those engaged in the movement in
Cuba and the United States, and place all
credit in their statements. From their ac.
count it appears that about three months ago,
! certain persons, who are well supplied with
pocuniary means, and are duly authorized TO
act for wealthy planters in tie island of Cuba
sought their aid on this military expedition,
making the most liberal offers, and promi.
sing the most tempting rewards in case Of
success. great many men have been en-
, listed in this city for this work, and. had it
not been FOR an accidental and unexpected
failure in eilectns the purchase of a vessel,
this branch of the expedition would have
sailed scme weeks ago. 1t has not yet sailed
but have reason tt believe that il will leave
this port in Il short lime, without the posibili.
| ty of detection. Another branch Of the ex.
pedition has been organized at New lOrlsanS
and the remaining portions are already en-.
camped on an island in the gulf. ....
This movement has been contemplated for
some time. and all the preparatory measures
have been taken with great deal of judg-
lnent and piudence.-The first deselope-
ment of the plot was made week or two
ago. in the correspondence of one Of the
morning papers here. and this leaking out Of
the secret is to be traced to the imprudence
of an influential agent at Ne@ Orleans, whose
name could Communicate, who blabbed the
business in some public place in that city.
1t is no, for ME to speak Of the course ia:
ken by tur Government in This matter. It
is only necessary that should state that the
prompt interference of the Administration
has Inspired fresh confidence in them in the
minds of this great commercial community,
who have no desire 10 see the prosperity aud
peace OF the country put in jeopardy by any
mad schemes Of adven,urers or hot. ot.brained

A TRUE STORY.

Many years ago happened TO be one of
the referees in case that excited unusual
interest, in courts, from the singular nature
of the claim, and the story which it dis
closed. The plaintiff who was captain of
ship which traded principally with the
West Indies, had married very early with
every prospect of happiness. His wife
was said to be extremely beautiful, and no
less lovely in her character. ma
After living with her in the most unin-
terrupted harmony for five years, during
which time two daughters were added to
the family, he suddenly resolved to resume
his occupation, which he had relinqrished
on his marriage, and when his youngest
child was but three weeks old, sailed once
more for the West Indies. His wife, who
was devotedly attached to him, sorrowed
deeply at his absence, and found her only
comfort in the society of the children and
the hopes of his return. But month after
month passed away and he came not, nor
did any letters, those insufficient but well
come substitutes, arrive to cheer her solici-
tude. Months heightened into years, yet
no tidings were received from the absent
husband; and after hoping against hope,
the unhappy wife was compelled to be-
heve that he found grave beneath the
weltering ocean. a., s.1e4.s Ia,
