The Columbus Geo.) Register. of
Tuesday last, says:-
" Ii Is now certain that an exned;,;..
Of some kind is on foot, and thar men
and bors are collecting from d.iiere.,
parts Of the State for a miIitarx
trampoose somewhere For what nn!
pose they are gathering. or to VIA,
place they intend ultimately To 90. has
notbeen as yet positively revealed. The
general impression is. that they are
bound for the Island Of Cuba, in order
to reYolutionize that place and teach
the inhabitants the blessings Of liberty
and equality"
The Savannah papers bring extended
accounts Of the Cuban movement in ths,
State. A spy employed by the Spanish
Consul, who had been with the in,a.
sionists for two weeks, being part Of the
time detained as prisoner. his mission
having been discovered, has returned
20 Savannah. The News gives the fol.
lowing as portion Of his statement:
"The company from which the young
man escaped, were on their way Il
Burnt Fort, on the Saltilla river, which
Is to be the principal repdezvous Of The
expeditlonists, and where they expect.
ed soule 500 Georgians would be con.
lcentrated.
" IL was understood that two vessels.
with provisions and arms. were waiting
for them at the mouth of the river, and
would convey them TO the general rem.
devious Of the expedition. which Is one
OF the coast islands in the neighborhood
of Key West, and where il was under.
stood large force numbering some ten
to fifteen thousand men, would be con.
centrated.
/" Passengers in the ST. Matthews
state the babies Of men were coming
into the camps on the Saltilla and st.
Johns from every quarter. and that II
was rumored that considerable force
had already arrived, who were waiting
a steamer to Transport them TO the rem.
devious. The steamer expected Is
doubtless the same that has been car
tured by the Government at New York.
This capture may prove serious Oh.
stacle to the expedition, asst will cause
considerable delay"
The Macon Messenger, Of Wednes.
day last, says:
"Onc wing Of the Cuban expedition,
about four hundred strong, was expcc-
ted to sail trom Doboy or Sapelo on
yesterday afternoon. Ii was rumored
that they expecl to be joined by force
OF three hundred men near the mouth
OF the st. Johns. This is all mere ru-
NOR. We have it on undoubted au.
thority, however, that about two hun
dred and fifty men left the twenty mile
station on Friday last. for parts IN.

4 despatch from Savannah to the
Charleston Courier, dated on the lst
inst. saws:
The steamer Welaka returned from
her searching expedition this.morning
she brings no especial information as to
the reported movements Of the selfstyl
ed Cuban Liberators.o A few men
were congregated near Jacksonville, but
no arms or munit ons of war were dis
covered, and consequently there could
be no charge against them of being
engaged in an unlawful enterprise. 1t
IS reported this morning that there are
parties moving towards Florida, butwe
have no information as to their num-
bers."
" Ion," writing from Washington
city under date May 4, SAYS:
/" Adyices, public and private, were
received here yesterday, which render
i probable that some portion Of the
Cuban invaders hare actually sailed.
We may have some account Of the fact
to-morraw.
It appears, from accounts just recelv-
cd, that the expedients Of the invaders
are as wild as their project is desperate.
All that they ask for is to be able to
land two thousand troops, which they
think they can do, If not interceptedby
the navy of the United States, and,
then, the whole Creole population will,
as they say, rally in support Of their re-
evolutionary standard.
The Spanish army, il not already cor
rupted, is to be Immediately brought,
By promise 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-an,l we shall rally
around our standard nine-tenths OF the
Cuban population, and Of the Spanish
army; and, then, nothing can presenta
vast influx Of American volunteers from
every part of the United States, =
whom fighting is familiar. and az
Bile, and with whom love of gain
predominant passion.
Nothing of this kind can be d aeNed
wonderful under present c;rsumstan.
ces. When such things begin, it j. rot
easy to iorsee their end"
