EHsurrectiOn in Cuba.

By recent mails from the south, we learn that
an instruction las broken out in Cuba. A doc
uncnt purporting to be a declaration of indie
pendcnce has been circulated, appealing as usu-
al to the name of liberty for sympathy, and to the
people of the United States for succor and as
si,tancc. They recount the namoess grievances
VIII ich they suspect Cula labors under, as a col :
ony of Spain, and winds up with the formal
threat that henccforth they will live independent
OF Span.
1t is quite doubtful whether this document
originated in Cuba or New Orleans whether
issued by those CALLED by tyrants-or those who
wish 10 create larger area for the exercise of
despotic power. One thing is very certain, how
ever, this revolution if has commenced in Cuba
will not succeed without intervention from the U.
States The declaration whether originating in
Cuba or the States, is designed as great cx-
citor--a huge poker TO stir up the sleepy citizens
of the state, to strike suddenly as they cndeavor
to make US believe, for God and Liberty" which
rightly interpreted, means the Devil and Slavery.
But it is not to be supposed that this attempt if
it really has commenced on the Island, will sue
coed any better than the others because the
Gov. General Of Cuba, has had plenty of time
to arm and drill 10000 troops which are at his
disposal on the Island 10 say nothing about the
the many steamers, rs we'll as the highways and
railroads Of the Island and all the harbors of l.,
300 miles of coast.
Butho enterprise is too daring for desperate
men. Men who have a fortune to maIe, are not
afraid Of losing anything, while the chances are
in their favor Of having Cuban stocks to sell,
and business never will be dull while commits
sioners are sitting 10 adjust claims, and Uncle
Sam SITS up in his big chair waiting to be Gal
phiniscd. More officers Of the government will
be ready TO award claims TO the Gardeners, and
rich bankers are ready to advance if the chance
of making hundred thousand dollars is again
offered.
This whole operation is only plan Of the
slave power to gain territory and foist into the
Senate SIX or eight more senators, and into the
House II to IGNORE Representatives.
The only hope we rely upon, is the intel
I'gence and honesty Of the north. coupled with
determination to resist the threads of tho slave
power, come from wha, quarter or pretcxt il

TEKEEaEEEC STORM.

On Thursday evening OF last week, storm Of
wind and rain. accompanied with lightning and
thunder, passed over this section, and was GER
tanly the most violent one we ever saw. The
water seemed to come in sheets from the clouds,
and ran along the cutters in torrents the wind
rippcd up roofs and broke down trees and fences;
and the air seemed to be all on fire with lightning
pcrvadnr everywhere in sheets and balls and
long zig-zag chains. For the space of an hour
or more the glare was constant-wltnout an il
stants cessation-and the heavy thunder, the
roaring wind, the rushing OF the waters, and the
deadly white glare which oyerspread all, made
scene of fearful grandeur.
The damage extended over large tract of
country, although, as far as we can learn, the
force Of the storm was heaviest here. Among
the most important losses which occurred, was
the complete demolition of new frame which
had lust been erected by Mr.. Tyler; part of
the roof was blown down from the new furnace
building of Whitney, Tremain, & Co.; kitch-
en- building belonging to Capt. Cotton was blown
down; parts of roofs and chimneys in every part
of the town were damaged: fences and trees
were leveled in every direction. At the Oneida
Settlement, some eight barns were blown down,
and much of the timber was Frustrated. At the
Bay Settlement more or less damage was done
to buildings and fences, and some live stock was
killed by lightning At Rapide Croche, fall
ing tree killed an Indian girl,
We would not pretend TO give in detail the
losses which have occurred; they extend to ev-
cry portion of the North.-Green Bay Adro-

a Word tn Farmers

tits now settled, doubtless, that the wheat crop
(for the third year in succession) has been more
or less injured. We think however, that If the
weather is good for harvesting, there will be an
avarage of three fourths of good crop. But
no matter if there is, what we wish to remark
will have just as much point as though the wheat
crop never failed. and never was likely too
The fact is, our farmers have been (and are now
too many of them) in the habit of depending en-
tirely on the wheat crop for their support. This
ought not so to be, when the danger is that 1t
NAV be cut off, and the labors of a year blasted
with the rust of an hour. There are many ways
in which the husbandman can engross his time,
besides raising wheat. We should advise every
one to raise enough for his own bread at any rate,
then let him have a little barley, oats, corn and
potatoes, flax, buckWheat, and everything that
can be raised on the farm, and which will bring
money on the sale Then let him not neglect,
as too many do, the raising OF stock. Horses and
cattle pay better at the prices at which they
sell now, than anything the farmers can grow.
We are ashamed to say what we believe TO be
true in too many cases, that the farmers are very
negligent of the profits and luXuries of good
garden. They depend on the pork and beet barrel
for their breakfast dinner and supper, while the
garden runs to weeds, when it might be growing,
nourishing, and various vegetables which would
ensure health, and luxury even to those who are
proyident, and have taste enough TO plant gar
den.
We know great many denizens of the city,
who live better, and cheaper on spot OF ground
less than one fourth of an acre in extent, some
weeks in the summer, than some persons with
200 acres; and this all depends on the different
