The Fillibusters Disbanded,

conquest Of Cuba, resolved. that the force
which had rendezvoused in New Orleans.
comprising some fifteen hundred men.should
be disbandcd. This determination of those
who were supposed to hold the sinews Of
war; was communicated early the next
morning, at the several quarters oft men.
and the effect was soon visable in different
parts ofthe city. The young mon who had
| been lured here, from their distant homes
by the eXtravagant and lallaciou, statements
Of the extent of the disafection among the
inhabitants Of Cuba, and the nattering pros
poets of triumphant success. which was
certain to accompany them as the liJerators
of the Island, were very indignant when
they were officially apprised ofthc abandon
mant Of the enterprise.
Their hopes and anticipations had been
elevated to an cNtrayagant height. and the
bright dreams ofconqueSt and wealth had
been seduousl lyencouraged by the daily in
telligencc received from CORRESPONDENTS
who were on the spot, who had every oppor-
tunity of knowing what was going on, and
were ofsuch tried and approved character,
that it was impossible for them to be deceiv-
ed themselves or to deceive others. We
cannot wonder at their credultv. When
we review the events ofthc past month. and
cast our eyes over the elaborate and detail
ed communications from Cuba CORES pcn-
dents, which have been endorsed byth pub
lie press, containing the most shameless
fabrications. with the most abandoned BROS
titution Of every sense of moral right. we
cannot wonder at the tone of excitement 10
which the public mind has been pitched.
The conviction that they have been the
subject olsuch gross deception, has prod,-
ced corresponding reaction among the
friends Of Cuba emancipation. On Satur-
day and yesterday there was no reserve ob-
served, and opinions were freely expires scd.
by 10 means complimentary of the designs
and management Of those who got up, and
have thus far conducted. this Stupcndous
humbug. The feelings of disappointment
and Indignation that the failure ofthis scheme
has engendered among some iifceu hundred
or two thousand young and adventurous
spirits from every section Of the Union, will
have powerful influence In discouraging
and putting stop to any similar design that
may be attempted for some time 10 come.
We may say with confidence. that no COM
mite, however large in number and rcspcc-
table in chraacter, will be able 70 induce the
people OF Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia, upon the faith Of promises and
newspaper representations, to come to New
Orleans with a view of embarking for Gu
ba invasion. They have once been deceiv.
ed, and if they subject themselves again to
the same fate. they mus, reprosch no one
but themselves for their crcduity and ta.u-
ity.
Some of the disbandcd volunteers arc dis
posed TO ccnsure the committee, and TO hoC
them responsible for the cmbarras sing posi-,
i ton in which they are placed. This is wrong
= and there is no Justice in such a procedure
= The object of the organization oftLc commit
ice was to sub,ist the volunteers while here
and to facilitate their departure as soon a.
possible. We thought at the time that an,
