A CENTURY PLANr.-We observe in the ele-
CANT enclosure Of Mrs. LEFTwcH, a Century
Plant, which we are informed will blossom in
a few days. The plant at its base is about
six feet in diameter with long and broad leaves
of a pale g.eeu-about four feet in length and
six inches in breadth. From its centre there
has sprung up rapidly Of late a stem about
fifteen feet in height and four inches in dame
ter, tapering towards the end, and from which
several sprigs have sprung. There is aframe
erected around the plant, with a canvass cover,
which is for the purpose, we presume, of con-
cealing the curiosity when it blooms, that a
sight of it may procure a small amount for
some religious or charitable purpose.

The TRUE DELrA n GEx. LoPEz.-This
admirable paper, from the commencement, has
been very severe upon Gen. Lopez and the
principle which actuated his expedition. In
giving q sketch Of Lopez's history, which is
marked by traits Of the darkest that ever char
acterized even . Spaniard, the True Delta is Of
opinipn-and 80 are we-that nothing good
can emanate from such a man, or attach to any
enterprise in which he 10 engaged. In j subse-
quent number Of the same paper, since the in
telligence Of his failure has reached us, we
find the following passage, which we clip from
a bold and spirited article:

shame nantes our cheeks and humiliation bows

End of the Cuba Expedition.

The Cuban Expedition, says the Bee Of
Wednesday, has FAILED-failed even III its in
c%ipiency, and from the very causes which led
US all along to anticipate u disastrous issue to
the enterprise. The dispatches received from
Charleston ana Savannah render the result no
longer questionable. 'rhe steamer Isabel STOP
ped at Savannah on the 2sth, having left Havana
on the 22d, and stopped as usual at Key West.
From the latter place she brought the leader
of the expedition, General Narviseo Lopez, and
his confidential friend, ]. Sanchez Tznaga.
Their statement of the circumstances which
occasioned the abandonment Of the Expedition,
is thus given in a despatch to the Delta:
aThe Expedition left Contoy. in Ylcataa.
on the 18th, and landed at Cardenas early on
the morning OF the 10th. Some time was lost
in efecting a landing, which afforded the OPP
portunity of sending an express off Immediately
to the post of Colisco, about ten miles distant,
for rei~Iforcements. The troops of the Expe-
dition having entered the town, attacked the
Jail, supposing ittofbe the barraeks. The guard
stationed there stood fire well. At this moment
more troops were seen crossing the square,
which, on being hailed, answered by firing on
the Expedition. After this, the Governors
house was attacked, which was also well defen-
ded, and finally burnt. The troops in the town
surrendered, and Cardenas remained in the quiet
possession of the Expedition. But when the
Creole was preparing to depart, to bring rein
forcemeut, the troops being dissatisfied with the
warm reception they had met, and having lost
time in getting the wounded and fuel on board
the steamer, became disheartened, and insisted
on being taken to Key West. The Creole was
closely pursued by the Spanish war steamer
Pizarro, but effected her escape"
Another dispatch from Savannah, under date
of the 26th, mentions the arrest of Gen. Lopez
under an order of the Federal authorities, his
subsequent liberation for want Of evidence, and
his departure for the West, after a speech, in
which he promised to do unutterable things
for the liberation Of his country.
uWe understand from a gentleman just
from the city, that since the above news was re-
ceived, TOO troops have left New Orleans for
Cuba. The above, therefore, may be nothing
more than a ruse de guerre.

CUBA.
The Blow is Struck

The fuif intelligence, as contained in the let
tiers of our correspondents in Havana, by the
Falcon, which came up to the city yesterday
afternoon, at 5 O'Clock, P. NJ, is even more
favorable than that communicated by the tele.
graph. The fact is irfy established, that Gen
Lopez has landedfand captured the towp OF
Cardenas, containing more than three thousand
inhabitants, and it's highly probable that he
defeated the Spanish troops at that point and
seized q quantity Of arms, ammunition and sap
plies. Here he remained an entire night and
day mingling with the people, scattering among
them his proclamations, and exciting ID most
favorable impression as to his purposes. 1t IS
highly probable he had therailsof the railroad
to Matanzas torn up to prevent the advance
Of troops. From Cardelas Gen. Lopez re-em-
barked his force, aud went farther to the East
ward, to form a junction with the balance of
his troops, which junction probably took place
at San Juan de los Remedies, in the Central
Department. Here he could maintain his posi-
ton for some time; and here, we confidently
anticipate, he will be Joined in large numbers
by the patriotic Creoles of that department.
Altogether, the prospects of the expedition are
highly encouraging. The Crecles, as viii be
seen by a statement of our correspondent, are
faithful and true. The flag of the single star
and three.stripes will soon wave in triumph
over the Queen of the Antilles. For such a
noble object, what true American is there who
is not ready to tenderhis cordial sympathies and
prayers? How many thousands Of our bold and
enterprising youth are there now ready to rush
to the aid of their brethren in Cuba! This call
will be answered from every valley and noun
tain in our country. There will be a rush, like
that of many waters, Of the 'chisalry of the
land, to that lovely spot, which God destined
to be the abode Of liberty and happiness, but
which man has made the scene of oppression
and yiolence.-Deha Of the 10Th uh.

For The Cecil Wing |
The school Esil!.

MR. p. c. RlcKErrs,-Dear Sir,--I In
your paper OF Saturday last, | notice two
communications IN reference to 'The
School Bill" apparently drawn forth in
consequence Of the notice in your paper
the week previous, of the meeting at
North East, but, really, doubt not, from
the fear entertained that favorable impress
sions had been made at that meeting.
These writers are entirely unknown to
me, but their actions point them out pretty
clearly as belonging to that peculiar and
highly favored few, who are in possession
Of the poor school fund Of tins county, and
who are consequently, interested in re-
sisting the adoption OF this system. The
bill provides, should it be adopted, all the
monies now invested shall be forthwith
collected, and it may not be convenient to
fork il oucr right at once. ! would par
tculary call the attention of the voters
Of The county, especially laboring men
having large families to educate and sup
port-men whose greatest interest 1t is to
have this excellent and well digestrd sys-
TEN of education adopted and In operation,
TO the fact that whilst the friends oil pdu-
cation, and this Bill have openly come
forward in lis advocacy, giving us an op-
portunity to know who they are, those
who oppose the measure lave chosen to
appear in The county papers, over assumed
signatures. Why do they not openly
come out, and oppose the system? The
voters would then be enabled to judge OF
the influences which caused their OPPOSE
ton. have said this much that the vot-
ers may have an idea why some persons
oppose the School Rlll.
! Let us now briefly inquire whether the
merits Oh this bill cntitle /, TO 5c adopted.

IMPORTANT FROM PoRTo Rico Threat
cncd Bombudmcm. We have already
mentioned that Capt. Beacher and sever
al American sailors, had been imprison-
ed at Mayagutz by the Spanish author
tiles, and that the U. S sloop.ot. Al.
bany, Capt. Randolph, had gone there
to demand Their release. On the arrl-
val of the Albany, the Captain OF the
Port made his boast that il the Captain
of the Yankee man-of-war wanted his
counfrymen he must come ashore and
take them.
The next day Captain Randolph haul
ed IN his ship close to the town, shotted
his guns and seut Lieut.. Rdgeley ashore
with notification, that ifthe men were
not instantly delivered up he would fire
upon the town.-This caused great
oommot.on, and the men were released
somev hat in hurry. Capt. Randolph
deserves all praise for his prompt and
proper conduct in this affair, and il will
have the effect of putting stop TO the
outrag"s which have, for some time,
been prac'is,d at Mayaguez upon Amer
