A Letter from New Orleans states that there are
from twelve to fourteen hundred young men there
from the West, collected for the purpose of enter
ing on expeditions for Cuba, who are in the great
est distress for want of means to support themselves
or to return to their homes. What do those not
deserve who, by false promises, have seduced these
men from their homes to engage in a desperate and
unlawful enterprise, and will not even aid them in
their distress?

DEATH OF JUDGE WOODBURY..


A Telegraphic despatch yesterday announced the
demise of the Hon. LEVI WOODBURY., an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
His health had been declining, we thought, for
some months past and the news Of his condition
published yesterday morning from Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, the place of his residence, pre-
pared us for early intelligence Of his decease. Mr..
WOODBURY. had filled with credit-wih eminent
credit, we may say-various conspicuous public
stations, and his death will leave large void in the
ranks of public men of the country, as well as a
vacancy in the exalted tribunal Of which he
was member. His was rapid career Of dis
tnction, having been Governor Of his native State.
Senator in Congress, Secretary Of the Navy, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, and lastly Judge Of the
Supreme Court, and yet not an old man at the time
Of his death.

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM MISSISSIPPI.

A Telegraph despatch from the South announces,
that in thirty-three counties of Mississippi from
which returns have been received, the Union Tick
ct for the Peoples Convention has obtained ma,
jority of egh. thousand votes. Out of the thirty
three counties heard from, only one gives Secs
sion majority. The word Secession" as here
used, is not to be understood in the same sense as
it is used in South Carolina. In Mississipp.
as in Alabama, the Secessionists contend. under
present circumstances, merely for the abstract right
Of State to secede from..the Union.

and was the author Of Book published fifteen
years ago, from which we have, on more than one
occasion. quoted passages, entitled ".The Partisan
Leader"
The "Southern Press" speaks in hgl, terms,
and we doubt not justly, of the beauty OF his pri-
vate life. He was, we learn from the same au-
thority, about sixty seven years of age.
