LETTER FROM THE EDITOR.
GAIT House, Louisville,
May 23d, 1850.


DEAR JUNIOR Il arrived here, or at the
foot of the Canal. about ten O'Clock this eve
ming. which is good evidence Of the speed OF
the Louisville, Evansville and Henderson
packet, Maj. Barbour. OF course we had a
pleasant trip, as all must have who travel on
the Harbour, and realize the attentions inva-
riabIy bestowed upon passengers by Capt.
SPOTS and the accommodating clerks. The
Barbour sets a good table, makes punctual
and swift trips, and is admirably adapted for
the trade IN which she runs.
Among our passengers were a number of
Owensboro', 10 attend court. But the most
distinguished character on board, was a boy
of about eighteen, who under charge Of his
brother, highly respectable young man. was
going TO Owensboro', his home, as 1Citness IN
a robbery case of which he was the princi-
pal operator, With two accessories. he rob
bed his father, a tailor, and man of some
worth. residing at Owensboro'. Of one thou
sand dollars. The three proceeded to Louis
Vile, and on the trip the two accessories got
the boy drunk, AMI took from him all the
money. The boy wrote back to Owensboro
acknowledged his guilt, and gave such par
iiculars as TO the movements of his accompli-
ces, that they were arrested soon after at St.
Louls:by means ola teIegrap hic dispatch from
EvansviiIe-thc arrest being ofcourse noticed
in the Journal. as is everything else Of any
interest 10 the public. The case will come
off this week, as Court is now sitting at Ow-
ensboro. If / have not misunderstood the
particulars from my informant these same
men arrested at ST. Louis. are known to have
set fire to the extensive tobacco warehouse,
which was recently consumed at Owensboro'
This confagration would have been disas-
trous in its results, if the immense amount OF
tobacco consumed had not been paid for by
the proprietors Of tie warehouse. In this
building were the whole proceeds of many
small tobacco plantations in Davis county,
which would have proved serious loss to
the owners, had they not received their pay
for the article. As it was the loss will GER
tainIy set heavily upon some shoulders.
Talking about OwensbOro' and rogues, the
first man | met at the wharf Of that town
was Terry: Of the Greensboro American
He is spoken OF as one of the most popular
men in that social town-and what is the
wonder? He pretends to be good looking, is
not reIy old, and writes poetry to admiration
so of course the ladies are on his side. In
deed, am credItabIy informed that but ii
few days will elapse ere he will be prema-

The CUBA ExPEDITiov--The New York
Journal OF Commerce predicts that any de-
scent upon Cuba will be defeated. 1t says:
These Iawless attempts upon a ncighbor-
ing country, with which we are at peace, are
no better than piracy; and il every individu-
al engaged IN them should be shot, or hung
up by the neck ill he was dead. he would
have no right to complain. We presume
that such wall be the fate of any who with
arms in their hands. may be taken prisoners
by the Cubans But we doubt very much if
any viii he 30 taken. We do not pretend to
understand the dctliIs of the expedition, but
il must be Il small affair at best Il desperate
movement, designed rather to save appear
anccs than anything else. lis leaders must
be very short ofiunds, and short oil brains be-
sides We are truly sorry that any Of our
cCuutrymen should be so foolish as to engage
in such an adventure. which can only end in
disgrace. The expedition. il it exists, has
been got up with profound sycresy, and the
rendezvous is or was, at some place out of
the limits OF the United States. The ex'en
sive emigration to California via Chdgres has
favored the deception.
An expedition from the United States for
the revolution oil Cuba has undoubtedly been
got UP. and we suppose that some decisive III
formation IT'S to it, late will soon be receiyed.--
We can anticipate nothing bat failure and
disaster for those engaged in It. We do not
believe that their success Is possible, and we
presume that all OF them who may have the
misfortune to be taken prisoners will swing
on gibhels.
Ii an expedition has hcen got up against
Cuba, the Locofoco presses OF the country
are responsible for the movement. These
presses everywhere denounced Gen. Tay Ior's
proclamation tor tie suppression Of the first
expedition. and proclaimed that the right Of
the people Of the United States to take part
in such an enterprise was clear and unques-
uoaahle. In act. they encouraged the enter
prise by every means in their power, and they
id this not because they had the slightest
idea that it was lawful but because they
were determined to make iacuous. fierce,
and reckless opposition TO Gen. Taylor and
bis administration in everything Lo1:is-
