ODbA A4tAlhbt--A washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier, who seems to be pretty
well advised of what's going on in the government
affairs, writes as follows. The editor saws the wri-
teris " a gentleman of lent, well known through
out the whole Union" possessing "rare facilities
Tor procuring reliable and authentic intelligence; :"
have just learnt that dispatches were received
few hours since from Gen. Campbell our repre-
sentative at Cuba, An instruction had broken
out on that Island the very time and in the very
manner which had been previously communicated
to the Secretary of State, it would occur. One of
the Regiments revOlted joined the insurrectionists
the whole of whom sent up the shout " IiVa Ia Re.
public UiUa Gen. Lopez :" This Gen, l,opez is A
SPaniard, is now in the city Of New York, but BY
arrangement was to have been in Cuba with his
allies from this country the day of the nsurrec-
ton hence the shout " ViUa Gen. Lopez :" Or
ders were Immediately transmitted to New York
by telegraph instructiDg the U. S. District Attor-
ney to have Lopez arrested ; Gen. Campbell also
required OF our government that man-Of war be
immediately sent to Havana, for the protection of
the American interest at the scene of insuFraction
This, however, had been anticipated by the Sec
rotary Of State, and on the day of the date of Gen
CampbelFs dispatch making this requisition, the
Germantown sailed from Boston for Cuba 10 afford
the very protection desired. A few DAYS and full
Developments will be made, showing how shame.
TAI have been the assaults of the democratic press
against Gen. Taylor for his timely and iudicious
proclamation against all those concerned with this
Cuban outrage.
Dispatches were also received at the same time
from Capt, Randolph, in command of the vessels
lying OIL Round Island, giving description of the
cousplratoTs assembled there, and destined for
Cuba They are mostly foreigners, and generally
Of class and character that made them fit instru-
ments for any act Of piracy OF marauding that the
avarice or ambition of men could concoct. To
etlectuay put stop to any repetition of such dis
graceful expeditions, threatening the peace Of the
country, about fifty of the ring-leaders should be
had ri 1e H..
The country is indebted to the vigilance and decis.
ion of the administration in preserving us from
being involved in another war with Spain.
There is piece of news in this which we never
heard Of before, viz: that the government ordered
the arrest of Gen. Lopez.
There is something else, too, of which we must
say word. The habit of describing all those who
were willing to eIpatriate themselves, for the pur-
pose of aiding in revolution in Cuba as rufians
pirates, robbers, punderers deserving stripes and
hanging, Is quite too termagant way of exhibit
ing love of peace and order, to suit our sense of
justice. Doubtless there are mixed motives which
prompt great many, and bad motives may influ-
ence some, but we do not think so ill of human
nature as to suppose that there may not be honest,
generous and ennobling impulses at work in the
minds and hearts of many who engage in the
cause thus unfortunately denounced. The spirit
of bitter hatred towards all those who are sus-
pected of design of lending their arms to repub-
lican movement elsewhere, as if the design were
in itself crime against peace, good order and hu.
manity, would not consistently spare the memories
of Lafayette, Steuben, Lee, Montgomery, Pulaski
and other magnanimous Europeans, who have
hitherto been treated as benefactors and heroes,
for having sought American soil, to take part in
the American revolution
We are no apologists for law or treaty breaking,
or eulogists of any scheme of violence against a
peaceful nation. But we can see thousand rea.
sons why men may be willing to make sacrifices
and run risks in order to take part in foreign
quarrel without being branded as robbers or pirates
