been furnished us, of some, and only some, of the
leading members of the secret "Order of the Lone

We give the list as We have received it, withou

Quite number Of California steamship captains, and
half their ships crews rank and file the whole of the

Now, we venture to say that no man will or can
dispute the strength and terrible import of secret
revolutionary organization, numbering among its
fifteen thousand members in the United States such
an imposing catalogue of capitalists, miitar, chief
tains, lawyers, statesmen, and politicians, are
here combined together in the sacred, secret, but
avowedly revolutionary, "Order of the Lone Star"
fn tba cofx -,
GLIDING cash, steamers, munitions and provisions
and muskets and artillery (second-hand), to any
amount. The very materials intended for Hungary
and Italy are thus directed to practical object,
within point blank striking distance. Whether the
thirty Thousand dollars of the Irish Directory
has been invested in stocks Of the Lake Superior
copper mines, or the California gold mines, or the
New Jersey zinc mines, we have no means of know
ing; but if not otherwise absorbed, we should not
be surprised at all if this Irish sinking fund
were also appropriated to the invasion of Cuba.
And why not? The conquest of Cuba, by an In
vadng force from shores, would probably result
in fomentng war with England-and that is the
hour for which Ireland is waiting to strike. We
see therefore, NO reason why this Irish fund-incu
ding the five hundred dollars subscribed by Arch
bishop Hughes-sh6uld not be turned over to the
order Of the Lone STAR for the liberation of Cuba.
1T was reported in the island that the revolution
was expected to be opened as early as November.
Any time between November and March next will
be highly favorable for the movement. The season
of the year will be propitious, and temptation in
itself to join the invasion and the advantage in
political view, viii be such only happen be-
tween the outgoing Of one administration at Wash
ipcton and the incoming Of another. At that period
our government will be in state almost amounting
to suspended animation and the work can be ac-
ccmplshed, as il might, in fact, have been accom-
plished in the last expedition, before the 60
vernment conld bring any organized means of
resistance TO bear against it.
In Presidential view Of this momentous, vast
and comprehensive question. We have no informal
ton as TO the course which the fifteen thousand
members Of the Lone Star, scattered from New
York to New Orleans, intend to pursue. The Order,
as il appears, is composed Of men, and Of many
conspicuous men, Of both parties. We may safely
assume it as a fact, Notwithstanding, that the
citation viii act in concert in reference to the next
administration for il is well understood that the
Liberation Of Cuba is to be but the first act of the
drama. The second, perhaps, will be general war,
with the United States arTayed against the COM
bined powers of Europe but, in any event, war or
no war. the final act viii be the annexation Of Cuba
to the United States. We shall recur 10 The subject
again. It. magnitude, the momentous conse-
quences it involves, the ominous state or things in
Cuba, and the boldness and the numbers Of the
lberating conspiracy in this country, give to the
question every aspect of the deepest and gravest
importance.
