The interest usually awakened by those who
watch the Issue Of any kind Of contest-he military
spirit induced by the Indian wars, and the dspo-
siuon to extend the area OF the slave holding terri
tory, cause the "Cuban emigration, to be very
popular on the Southern frontier. very great
and unhealthy excitement exists here the town is
full of recruits, and others are encamped in the
vicinity, waiting hourly notice Of departure. Con
zalez is here, and tho reason Of the delay is not
generally understood. The ladies have worked
pretty banners Of red blue and white, in stripes,
with single blue star in the white ground aud
half the town seems disposed to 60 if their wives
would let them, and many of those who g leave

they can wen be spa red, are 8 enrolled"

These "emigrants,' as they call themselves, re-

Whether successful or not, it makes ones heart
ache to think Of the blood that must be shed on
both sides, the blghted hopes, the widows aud the
orphans who must mourn the untimely loss OF those

cruel passions it excites How destructive to every

Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sun

Advices, public and private, were received here
yesterday, which render it probable that some por
tion of the Cuban invaders have actually sailed.
Ii appears, from accounts just received. that the
expeditions Of the invaders As wild as their pro-
ject is desperate. All that they ask for is to be
able to land two thousand troops which they think
they can do, if not intercepted by the navy Of the
United States and, there, the whole Creole popu-
lation will, as they say, rally in support oftheir
revolutionary standard.
The Spanish army, if not already corrupted, is TO
be Immediately brought, by promises of booty, and
Of revenge against their arbitrary officers, into the
support of the revolutionary movement. Let us,
they say, strike one blow-show one victory-and
We shall rally around our standard nine-tenths Of
the Cuban population, and of the Spanish army;
and, then, nothing can prevent a vast influx Of
American volunteers from every part of the United
States, to whom fighting is familiar, and grseable,
and with whom lcve OF gain is a predominant pas
sion
Nothing of this kind can be deemed wonderful
under present circumstances. When such things
begin, 1t is not easy to foresee their end.
