| SAINT time coming from Norfolk We expected to

! the men with big guns and small arms. We had de-
| ghtfu trip from Portsmouth, n H. and run fourteen
knots The hour until of the boilers got out of
| oIder, and then nine knots While at Norfolk
we were visited by almost everybody in the place.

voir, from which your judgment extracts whatever
may be fit to exhibit to the intelligence or for the

| What do YOU know about the Z" Cuba hunt !"
| Though you approximate towards the qualities of
omniscience and ommpresence, must suppose that
| Won have known nothing, unless you are mana
| ger Newspapers, friendly to il, in this quarter,
| have kept mum those opposed TO it, have had 10
| points" But, some one has commenced to
talk cannot set idle and others mislead public
| sentiment in regard 10 this holy undertaking. For
| sCme thirty days, officers on steamboats, have been
| puzzled 10 know why, at the approach of hot
weather, such unusual numbers oil young men
| should be bound for New Orleans and citi-
| zens have viewed, with unsatished curiosity, the
number lounging about this city, representing the
| swsmps Of Louisiana, the pincy woods OF Missis-
STRIP, and the dalk and bloody ground OF Kentucky
| Their hablimenis and scaniy baggage, besides
their unvarying and striking expression OF hrmness
and recliessness, marked them at once as unpre-
Jared for dissni California, or the tosome pursuit o
| gold digging. No one could see them in brokers'
shcps, purchasing convenient currency, or III ship
ping he uses buying tickets, but they might be seen
most aboundipg at night about the Verandah, Nc.,
some in mysterious cabai; others seeming to wait
| for some signal which they knew would come. lf
you want company toll, toll, toll, the banks
| and under the waters Of these rivers "whose foam
is amber, al d whose gravel gold, )" you will be more
| flI in he /
| that our northern brethren would defend their
household gods with pcrnacity which we might
vanly hoIe TO excel, yet If you want band OF
bIothers to risk their lives, by dsshing hercely the
gauneted ist in oppyessions teeth for the further
ance Of freedom, call on the fiery South. This is
no Round Island affair. Who knows the rem

shall meet the 'hnnter'' by and by and be walked
Up one Of these nights by mysterious knock
ing" Capt. Roncal, Don Carlos de Espana "
Co. urc the lIst 10 be walked.
| The system Of these operations has been origi-
mated and conducted in detail by men Of ability
psny, with nothing TO lose, but by gentlemen high
in hoI or and station, with no lack of the snews Of
war, and who have been consummate in manage
ment. They have been adroit and secret as long
a. they wished, and now the affair may be talked
Of without injury to the cause, with but few reser-
yations.
This band Of crusaders will leap, in few weeks,
full armed, into the astonished vision OF I" the
high emprise. During the last twenty dsys, schoe-
ner after schooner has been dispatched for Chagres
aud q market, and at 10 o'clock, y. NJ, 7!h May,
the last which knew Of left Steamers also have
been sent. ] was on board the - steamer, hav-
inc many hiends in the party. Men were there
who have figured, and are figuring, brilliantly IN
history. Talk about "picked men," each one OF
these is Marshal Ney, brayest Of the brave
any one Of whom you wouldbe satisfied to have as a
friend in difficulty They will not sanction the sci
hsh Tolicy Of This government which VIII not strike

dom. The people Of these States al variance with
this policy. See il in the Indignation meetings against
European tyranfs. A weak and exhausted people OF
few millions must follow a more defensive policy
than one who can number 2i,OOO 600, and who can
say to nation he a rcpublic and stiaightway The
change occurs. No Capt Randolph can interject
in this :. hunt, and short shrt TO any Spanish
vessel whc shall be-. brash' enough TO meet them
on the mountain wave. They go TO extend The
area Of freedom, and wake up the hills Of Cuba
with The shouts Of liberty. Like Gen. Taylor, they
will fight the enemy in whatever force he appears,
and NO TO those Spanish armies who meet them on
the battle field. They 20 with the intention OF
trcading no step backward, and the headlong but
ssgacious valor will infusc the ranks OF the patriot

the blcFsings OF liberty. In Short they arc work
ing oct the inevitable destiny Of the Anglo-Saxon
race. They heed not the Spansh army, nor ap-
