FACTS For MEcHANIcs.-St. Paul was
a mechanic, a ,ent.maker. Our SAVIOUR
was mechanic, carpenter. The great
Architect of,he Universe, in the mechanism
of the heavens and the earth, with its pro.
duclions, animate and inaninate. displays
a power and skill which human hands aud
human wisdom may attemp, 10 initiate,
but which they can never equal or ap-
proach.
Next to farmers, mechanics are the most
numerous and the mos, important class Of
the community. Whatever promotes their
interests, of course promotes the interests
of the public. They, like farmers, have
great facilities and great induce!nent to
become men of science aud sound knowl-
edge. Every mechanic in every opera
tiou. brings into use some principle of sci
epce, which principle il is of course, his
interest aud his convenience 10 understand.
Every apprentice boy, no matter how
assiduous or how vigorous his employment,
ifhe spends few minutes daily 10 useful
reading and other modes Of improvement,
is certain to be man Of future influence
and responsibility. That apprentice who
seeks most assidnousIy the interest OF his
employer promotes most elfectual!y his
own interest as character is The best capi-
tai young man can have for the COM
mencement Of business.
Mechanics, like farmers. make safe and
enlightened statesmen. They are well ed
ucated for legislators. and for oIher offices,
BECAUSE educated in schools of experience.

by mutual concessions and compromises, he
trusted The same spirit would yet prevail,

would be prepared 10 cooperate cordially
in any ameliora,ion Of tho present system.
This is as clear as mud-for what the

Correspondence ofthe Chars. Courier.
WAsn1NaToN, Aug. 81.

Every one here talks of The Cuba eXpe"
dilion, as if had really been we'll con-
cerled aud arranged. and was still to be
prosecuted in opposition TO the orders and
vigilance Of this Government. There GER
tainly has been a concerted effort TO gel up
an expedition for the purpose of reyolu-
tonizing this Government. But it is not
yet known that many persons Of capital,
character, or means were engaged in it.
1t is said that TWO hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars were 10 have beeu raised in
the city Of New York, chiefly by mer.
chants, in aid of this. enterprise, but the
names of no respectable persons have yet
been given. In Baltimore, and in this
city. there were agents busy in. promoting
the scheme. In New Orleans and Mobile
efforts were made for the samo objects.
General Worth was offered tho command
OF tho expedition together with the pro.
mise of one hundred thousand dollars, as
bonus for resgning his commission in the
service uflhe United States. But there is
no reason to believe that he listened to
the proposal. Several officers, now and
late of The u. S. army, also received flat-
,cring proposals for the lurlherance Of The
same project.
But it does not appear that the confsde
rates had secured any efficient aid in Cuba.
I, is The opinion Of intelligent Americans
who passed the last winter in Cuba, and
the opinion is confirmed, as I understand
Gy our Consuls in Cuba, that the Islands
generally, do not desire revolution, and
will resist it. There has always existed,
however, combination against the gov
ernment, and several persons have at diff
ferent times been arrested, or compelled to
fly, as conspirators for its overthrow. They
have not among themselves, any men Of
erdinenceas leaders. Gen Loper, who was
condemned to death, but had previously
escaped TO New York. is said to have been
distinguished as soldier in Spain. The
Spanish troops in Cuba, are not at all
concerned in The movement; bul, perhaps
it may have been the Intention to buy them
over. In fact il is moro than probable,
1ha, if the revoluionists should make an.
attempt, aided by a few; thousand adven-
lurers from The United States, it woud:be
miserable failure, at least under present
circumstances. Some young Cubsn Gre
oies, Who have excited the sIspici0ns of
their government, are now in the United
States, and have no doubt, been the chief
promoters Of the movement here. Ii is the
general impression that the project will be
abandoned for the present, in consequence
Of the prompt measures taken by our gov.
ernmcnt for The preservation Of our neu-
tralty.
The Tariff question has recently been
discussed by politicians of both political
parties, assembled from different parts nf
the country al Newport. They have agreed.
it is said, to recommend specific duties, in.
stead Of the present system Of ad valorem
dulies OIL sugar, iron, coal, cotton and
wooIlen fabrics. But in my opinion, the
next Congress will not essentially modify
the present Tariff.
