The editors of the Savannah Morning News have
sent the following despatch:
SAVANNAH, August 2. Much excitement at presen,
exists here in regard to the revolution in Cuba. Al
ready lumber persons have volunteered their
vices and gone off en- route for Cardenas. Several
left yesterday and to-day, and others preparing
to leave. We have it also. upon good authority
that an immense number will 60 from the interior Of
Georgia and Alabama.
A letter which has just come to hand from New
Orleans states that one thousand men left that city
the night of the 26th uItimo for Cuba many 9TH

Two steamers have been purchased by the Cubans

The general belief is that the current of events ir

The Norfolk Herald contrasts the public char.
acter of our present Wing President with that O.:
Mr.. Van Buren,, the last Democratic President.
In the iollowingjust and pertinent manner:
We believe every honest Democrat in the conn.
try, who IS unainted with free-soilism will apree
that Mr., Fillmore has been the true friend of the
South Tor the plain reason that he has been the
steady and nnfinching friend of the constitution
while Mr.. Van Buren, was ever "paltering in
double sense, the friend ofthe South or North as
1t might give him votes and strengthen his
popularity, and finally settled himself down
IN deadly hostility to the South and its constitu.
uonal rights. The South docs not ask Mr.. MI.
more to declare himself a "Northern man with
Southern principles" and his wing friends at the
Soath would blush for him if he were to yolun-
teer so seryle declaration. We are persuaded
that he cannot better please the South than to al
tend strictly and diligently to the important duties
OF his high station, and scrupulously and faith.
fully support the constitutjon-and enforce tho
laws made in conformity thereto-al of which
he has done. His patriotic position before the
public admits not of question, and he has cab
met around him, the end Of whose aim is their
country's good, to attain which they have shown
their utter disregard OF all selfish objects.

BRANCH RAILROAD TO THE PoNr or Rocks
The Georgetown Advocate suggests the importance
OF having connexion OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad through Georgetown and Poolsvilie with
the Point OF Rocks. We suppose such a railroad
could be built for million and half OF doliars.
Whether it would pay not we cannot undertake
10 say. The Adooeate says:
''This road could be made by an extension Of
about forty-two miles Its Importance can be
judged of by the fact that while the distance from
the Point of Rocks TO Washington by the present
route is ninetytwo miles, this proposed road would
reduce it to less than the half thereof This is no
slight consideration for the rnulttudes whom busi-
ness calls necessarily from the West and South
west TO the seat Of Government. Why need the
citizens of the valley be thus compelled to make a
detour Of nearly hundred miles, with the tax Of
much increased expense, time and trouble,
when more direct route Of less than fifty miles
would present 30 many advantages to them in the
points of speed, directness, economy, and expense?
The continued multiplication of railroads in every
district OF the country the increase of travel and
the demands of the travelling public, must eyentu-
ally force attention to this NATTER

PLANK ROAD-wAsHINGTON AND ROCK.
WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.

TINE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
IL majority of the Stockholders, have determined
TO construct on this turnpikea Plank Road running
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line
OF the District and Montgomery county. Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue STOCK to the ex-
tent OF seven hundred and fifty shares, Of flcenly
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
TO solicit and receive subscriptions to the same.
Books are now open at our office for the purpose.
Ftoe dollars each share is TO be paid at the time
OF subscribing, and a like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such a road TO the city, and
the property In the vicinity OF the road, must be
apparent TO all conversant with its situation There
s but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst of a fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portation of the products Of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have eperU-
tohere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends to the stockholders, besides improving
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass.
A considerable portion of the stock has already
been subscribed.
Holders of the old stock in the company are enti-
tied to share of eio stock for every tuo shares
Of the old, which will be issued to them on surren
der OF the old certificates. The road will pro-
bably be finished in less than twelve months and
ready for travel. The cost will be less than S 49,
than hive per cent. the first year after il is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.
