The National IntelIigencer gives synopsis of
the lying bulletins and false telegraphic dispatches
that were issued in New York and New Orleans
during the late excitement about Cuba. There
never was before, within our recollection, SO men
dacioxs conspiracy. Men must have been paid,
in both Cities to manufacture stories utterly desti
tute Of foundation, for the purpose of wiuly mis-
leading the public, and deluding the unwary into
the trap, which was artfuly set, and which finally
caught and enclosed many victims No punish
ment can be too severe for the fabrcators Of {" Gu

sponsibility Of sacrificing the lives Of our citizens
and sending others to chains and Imprisonment

We see it stated that THE WILMINGTON AND MAN
CHESTER RAnRoAD COMPANY, in North Carolina,
have purchased, through their agents, Messrs
Winslow, Lanier & Co., of New York, 1000 tons
Of iron, which, with previous purchases, will be
sufficient to lay the entire line Of road, l62 miles.
The purchase has been effected on favorable terms,
the Company's bonds being taken in payment =
ninety cents on the dollar, and the cost of the iron
delivered at Wilmington and Charleston $4l.5O
per ton.
We have seen no item of news relating to public
improvement, with more pleasure than this. There
was no link in the great line of seaboard communi-
cation more important 10 the public convenience
than that between Wilmington and the South Caro-
lima railroads, (uniting them to the North with
Maine, and to the South almost to New Orleans,)
and we are truly glad 10 see that link about to be
supplied. We hope that the enterprise which
originally projected and achieved the Wilmington
Railroad, and which has since started and pushed
this extension Of it on to accomplishment will be
abundantly remunerated.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT.

1t has afforded me, as it will every we'll wisher
of the undertaking, high qualification to see the
movement recently made in Bedford, Virginia, in
relation to this noble and patriotic object. large
meeting was held at the courthouse in that county,
over which PAscHAL BuFoRD, Esq. presided, to
take into consideration the best means of aiding in
the completion of the Monument to the memory Of
WASHINGTON now in the course of erection at the
Federal Metropolis. A central committee was APP
pointed, consisting of eight respectable citizens,
who laid off the county into thirtytwo collection
districts, and three citizens to make collections in
each district and treasurer, Mr.. NELSON A. PAT
TYSON, to receive and transmit to the Society the
amount which may thus be collected. A commit
tee was also at the same time appointed to prepare
suitable inscription for block Of granite, taken
from the top of one of the Peaks Of Otter, to be
deposited in the Monument. This voluntary action
on the part of the patriotic citizens of Bedford de-
serves the highest commentator, and is an exam
pie worthy the imitation of every other portion of
the country 1t is important that every aid should
be rendered to this great object by all who claim
to be the countrymen of WASHINGTON, or who have
received the blessings which he has conferred upon
the nation. To refuse such aid would be an evil
dence Of ingratitude unworthy of Americans, and
especially of those who enjoy the freedom and pri-
vileges which his exertions have bestowed upon
them. II would be source Of qualification to see
the noble example of Bedford followed not only in
the whole State of Virginia. but in every county in
every State of our Union; for every State owes as
large debt of gratitude to the great benefactor of
his country as Virginia, and should contribute with
heart and hand to honor his memory. w.

HE CUBAN VOLUNTEERS DIsBANDED.-The New
Orleans Pcayune says that the volunteers for Cuba
who have thronged that city have disbanded, and
the most of them returned home. The others will
return as soon as the means can be provided for
them. Notwithstanding the repeated warnings
that were given in the papers against the assembling
of volunteers at New Orleans, where there were
no funds for their support it is estimated that some
two thousand came to the city. This is an EVIL
dence of the feeling which exists in the Southwest;
but it is not much feeling in favor of Cuba as
in favor of fight, any where and with any body.
Give assurance now Of fight, a mere fight, ,cifh-
out one aoord Of the purpose or the notiue, and you
could recruit an army in New Orleans in month
This is the working of the spirit which was
aroused by the annexation of Texas and the war
with Mexico 1t is the spirit which, if not check
ed, will rally against us the whole world, and will
lead to such internal discussions as will of them
selves suffice for our destruction. IL is against
fhis toild and la,ciess spirit that all good eitzens
must unite, u they ,oould preserue any thing o,
the original character Of our institutions. Con
guest, and aggression and interference with foreign
Powers are not the proper characteristics Of a free
republican Government. This we know very well is
not the popular doctrine; but, unless il be made
such, there will soon be no safety or stability to
our Government. We notice that the Fillibuster
papers still continue to abuse Mr.. Van Vechten, who
has been guilty of telling the truth of the men who
instgated the expedition, and who are really re-
sponsibe for the blood of the American citizens
executed at Havana. And, not content with this,
some Of them denounce Capt. Plat. According to
these vaorous men-valorous at safe distance
it would seem that Capt. Plat ought to have bat
tered down the Moro, taken the Captain General
prisoner, and brought the Island of Cuba in tow as
far as Sandy Hook, or some other place convenient
for annexation.-P Providence Journal.

THE CUBA SCRIP.

Justified by the occasional illusions to the fact
of the issue of Cuban stock or scrip, founded
upon the basis of the harvest of wealth expected
to be reaped in the lately-attempted conquest
of Cuba, we have heretofore spoken Of it as a
fact, but not with all the adherence which must
be felt by others as well as ourselves at the very
idea of any American citizens specializing or trad
ing in such an article; because, though asserted,
we had, from the enormity of the thing, re-
naming doubt Of its being literally true. We have
at length, however, evidence in the suboned art-
Gle, which we find in New Orleans journal re-
ceived yesterday of the truth of the statement Of
the existence of such Scrip. We trust-now
that there is no longer any room for concealment
on the subiect-that some one will cause TO be in
serted in newspaper the form of one Of these
/" bonds, certificates, stating particularly, if it
be not SO stated on the face of the bonds, out of
what funds those bonds were to be paid.
That such bonds were in market, we repeat, we
have the proof subjoned. Should they turn out
to be of different character from that which we
have supposed Tor them, there are no journalists in
the country TO whom it will give more pleasure
than to US to pronounce upon the innocence Of
the transaction.
