It's own interest as TO murmur be-

But again, if the appropriation had
not been given 10 us, it would have
remained in the treasury only TO be
seized on by some other more watch
full District, having less claim to and
no need for it, and very likely would,
have put it to much worse use.
We intend now to saya word or
two on the merits of "the digging
down." When the Court House
was erected on its present eminence,
the splendid forest trees, and beauti-
fully pebled surface of "the HILL" no
doubt gave 10 the place an appear
ance of a peculiar and providential
adaptation TO the purpose for which
it was selected. But the axe oftifne
has been laid TO the roots of these
trees and they are mingled with the
common dust ofearth--those pebbles
too have mistcriously disappeared
with the last generation, and we
scarce know how, but they are not
thdr' f1ence the present surface Of
"the hill" affords a surplus abundance
OF mud of greasy sickness and in
separable adherence to everything
that comes in contact with 1t, as rem
dc:s 1t impossible, in rainy weather,
for rlan or beast 10 get about with
ordinary case on the public square;
and the stcepness of "the iliil!il liililn makes
it very liable to wash into rulEes
and therefore vast deal of work is
required TO keep it and the streets
smooth. All these inconveniences
give very little annoyance 10 those
who visit your village occasionally,
but we are generous enough 10 allow
the villagers to work on and improve
the streets and public square SO as 10
be both an ornament to the place and
convenience TO those who visit YOU
perhaps only on Sa'e-days and at
court
From the appearance Of the sur.
face where the Contractor has re-
moved the dirt, we are led 10 conclude
that fine sandy surface will be left
on the top of "the hill" and as it
WILDE cut down some 10 or 10 feet
with u decent OF fone iootin 10 in ali
directions fi'om the Court house, It
must be greatly more. ;cccssible,g
more smooth, less muddy, look more
neat and handsome. and be more
convenient to both Villagers and yisi.

General Lopez.-A sword md
flag were lately presented TO Gen.
Lopez, by the Cubans of New York,
Boston and PIiilatJtiglpiiliiu I'll the flag
was made ofthe richest material, and
in the language of the Chairman, Of
the Committee, was very elegantly
embroidered Shy the fair hands of
some beautiful daughters Of Cuba. "
The General in his reply promises
that il shall be the :'regimental flag
of the first body organized on his
country's soil, which shall bear the
proud name Of the regiment of"The
| Daughters of Cuba" He pledges
himself that it shall wave over The
Moro or be his winding sheet in a
Cuban grave.
| We infer from these Indications
that another attempt is coniempla-
ted by some Of the restless spirits and
dissatisfied patriots of The day.
Apropos Of the subject, we have
heard it rumored here that n large
force has already been organized,
and in six weeks, under the leader
ship OF distinguished AIMEE sin sol.

iion upon Cuba, with fai.cr Prospects
of success than at any time Iii Ilsled
Lopez's Inflated expedition. Ne
would not be surprised if someo of tie
adventurous spirits of our owncity
were found 10 be engagedin it.
