RumOrS from Cuba.

For some time past we have had whisperings OF
something going on in Cuba, which would alarm
the government there soon. We have seen sever
al rumors from different quarters that seem to in
dictate an outbreak. One report is, that the peo-
pie had arisen against the authorities and anoth-
en- that there is general negro revolt. The Pic
ayune attaches some credit to the rumor and adds
that letters received at Savannah from Cuba, state
large number of soldiers had deserted and gone
to the mountains, and that some twenty Cubans
had gone to join them. There have been also
sundry mysterious outgivings in certain presses.
which are supposed to be in the confidence of the
Patriots, all leading not to discredit entirely.

derstood here that their intended destination is the
Island OF Cuba. Several young men at Atlanta
joined the company before it left. 1t is. perhaps.
worthy of notice, in this connection, that half a
dozen boxes OF RIFLES were Yesterday mornino
shipped on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad
from this place.
A letter, dated at Matanzas on the 31st Of

other nations, the of slaves were bored to se

earrings were the badge of slavery. In modern
times, they mean no more, perhaps, than that the

that the persons themselves are the slaves of yan

Glorious Victory over the North.

Out of some 10000 or $4,000 fugitive slaves
in the free States, since the fugitive law has been
in force, some seven or eight, Cor nine, counting
Sims, have bee actually recovered and carried
home to their owners. Besides this, there has
been quite number of others arrested, but sub.
sequently rescued, we don't say by whom, and
sent to Canada. Why it not passed sooner
1t certainly was great victory over the North
when this law was passed.

Bry-R0t in NJ. Fi!lmore's Cabinet.

Rumors, gathering and thickening every day,
indicate the probability of a reconstruction of Mr..
Fillmore's cabinet sometime before the dav of
judgement. The cause of this dry-rot in the ad-
ministraton, which has been viewed, on the whole,
very favorably by the country, does not live very
deep-only about as deep as the chances of certain
members of the cabinet for the office of President
to which station they seem to be aspiring. Mr.
Fillmore proposes to take the field, and Webster
has fairly started, with three speeches and a-haIf
and one coming-and Mr.. Crittenden hopes to
out-general both, thinking he can show leg and
muscle with either-or with anybody else who Is
inclined to run. Tom Corwin and the rest of the
cabinet are not in such hot haste. They are taking

Rise of Fashions.

Changes in fashions have generally arisen from
peculiarities in the dress of some eminent nerson
age to hide bodily defect. The homage of fiat
terers soon leads them to ape their masters and
once adopted at court, the fashion soon becomes
universal; The closely cropped heads of the
reign of Francis l. of France, was occasioned bv
awound in the forehead which that prince received
from burning brand in the hands of the Count
de Montgomery, and which forced him to have his
hair cut short. The beautiful hair of Lous XIV
when child, introduced the use of perukes with
long floating curls The huge wigs which succee
ded these, which were adopted by all Europe but
winch have now become mere appendage to the
maglstracy, were invented by French barber. to
conceal slight inequality in the shoulders of the
Dauphln Henry Ii, from a scar on his neck
mounted the ruff which the court ladies adopted
but with excessive exageration Charles VT of
rance introduced long coats to hide his ill-shaped
iegs and shoes with very long points, full two feet
IN length, were invented by the Duke of Aniou to
conceal large excrescence on one of his feet.

out hopeful prospect to those who have faith that
the North will sustain the compromises. in the fol-
lowing extract:
1t is now apparent, that the anti-slayery element
is to enter largely into political contests for an in
definite period to come. The seeming suspension
OF agitation is only the hull that precedes renewal
OF the storm. The spirits that control and can lash

embers and keeping them alive, Petitions are be-
ginning to be poured in upon Congress for the re-
peal OF the fugitive slave law. No opportunity is

trust will continue to keep their lots at the pre-

THE YoUsa LAwYERs.-The members OF the
Bar held an adjourned meeting on Thursday eve
ming, in the Circuit Court room. They adopted
Constitution, and had lengthy discussion upon
series of resolutions that were laid before the

about this movement. 1t was not originated for
the purpose of censuring the Bench, as at irst
supposed, but for the purpose Of taking measures
to elevate the profession, to establish library
and to provide for yearly course OF lectures
These efforts are decidedly deserving Of COM

they will persevere.
