Our St. Louis Correspondence.
Sr. LOUIS. Aug. 6, 1851.

FRIEND GREEN:--Thc filibustero excite
ment has completely subsidized, and our town
is once more quiet. During the last ten
days, nothing has been heard of, thought of,
or written about, but Cuban affairs. Start
ling r,mors from the 'seat of war reached
us and were spread through the town, eve
ry few hours. Meetings were held-in-
deed think, the largest and most enthusiasts
tic meeting ever witnessed in st. Louis,
was that of the Guam sympathizers last Sat-
urday evening The resolutions were tame,
but the speeches and the cheering were
brain full of blood and thunder. DIR. Nc
Dowell surpassed himself in boldness and
vehemence, notwithstanding the immense
amount of gas emitted on that and other &C.
casions, and the tall talking INDUCED in all
about the streets, am satisfied that few, if
any, seriously mediate the idea of going to
Cuba themselves, at least in the then sup
posed conditions of affairs all would have
been willing to reap rewards of victory, but
the Spanish gdrote was but too inevitable a
consequence of defeat TO make the contem-
plations of an unfavorable result at all allur-
ing. A ''Cnban company was actually or
ganized in the upper part of the city, but
am informed that their destination was not
the Orange groves and Sugar plantations Of
the Queen of the Antilles, but only the par
ade grounds of Bremen. They were drilling
their members, that those of them who might
hereafter chance to embark in these perilous
Gulf excursions, might have good stock Of
military experience on hand. The execu.
ton of Lopez is the last act of this sad drama
1t is to be hoped that the curtains may mo-
rise again until Cuba is prepared for indie
pendence-until her own people become
bold and fearless enough to dare all for Lib
erty. There has been great dearth of loca
items for the past week, perhaps for the rea
son that in these revolutionary times people
are so occupied with affairs of greater i'm
portance that they cannot take time to hun
up mere matters of gossip. The polio
court furnishes no subjects of interest be
= yond the transporting of vagrant or tw
f to the work-house.
=. Business has opened briskly, and larg
e crowd of people from the country and ever
where are ,jamnaed together in town, though
am sure we had enough here before to con
: sumo all the fresh air that is afoat in thi
unprecedentedly hot weather.
II Stokes Circus and one company of nc
gro MINISTRIES, are the stock of amusement O
hand at present.
The Columbians, favorably known
your part of the State, gave a series of cor
certs here last week, which were very sue
cessful The female members of the CON
pany, in their Bloomer costume, charmed a
behoders.
r The favorable news from the Mississippi
). election is source of great joy to the frend
d of the Union. By the wey that batch of lie
|. tiers of leading democrats, published in III
), the N. Y. Herald, has made quite a sens;
e ton among politicians. 1t seems that Hou!
ton and his chivalrous supporters would nj
/. scorn an alliance with Free-soilism to 81
h his election. Wonder if they are SCUM
e enough on the "negro question" for our Nil
e souri, States Rights men.
Yours; S.
