Authentic information has been received by
the Government authorities here. that large num-
bers of men have assembled at Mobile. Apalachi-
cola, Savannah and other cities South, Tor the pur
pose of embarking in the expedition against 'ile
Island of Cuba.

are considerable numbers of Hungarian refugees
recently arrived in the United Statesmen VINO
have had an extensive experience In war OF late,
and who therefore were expected to make nrst rate
soldiers

but the general Pnon seems to be that II ouoa is
invaded, the invaders should not rendezvous upon
the soil of the United States, if the Administration
at Washington can prevent it.

the immediate dispatch of Revenue Gutter, to

vessels constituting the home squadron, as to IN
tercept and Illustrate any expedition that may Dc

time But | deem the whole affair humbug
| Few people will their necks INTO halter
without greater inducements than those adventur
ers can have. Some young men who were con
| cerned in the project for enlistng men IN Georgl'
for this enterprise, passed through this place oil
Friday for the North. They stated that the expe
dition was not abandoned, though prematurell
blown.
