G,torcynn seuss--We learn that orders were
received fren the Navy Department at
Washington, on Saturday night, direct
aig the ~eloep.ofwar Cyane, G. N. Hol-
Fms, Commander, to prepare immediately
for sea, and to sail Ser Hasasa ut the ear.

She was lowed outside the Hook, I'LL o.

We keye also been informed, but not
sfom a Source which enables us to- make
5he s,utemeut by authority, that the steam
3rigatc Mississippi has heeh ordered to
follow the C'yaae with all dispatch. We
have no doubt, however, that the report
Is true, aud that the Mtsstsstpfs will
therefore speedily take her departure for
Havana. The New York Cbgrter, refer
ring to the subject, remarks:
"Tlie report that the steam tfigate Wtss-
'tssigpi has lcen ordered to Havana upon
:tllis business, must be altogether without
foundation, for no authentic account of eli
t,er affair can yet have been laid before
the President, much less eau a war steam
er have been ordered to be in readiness 10
heat a beIligerent message to the Spanish
Niceroy."
A GsNutNg L.ocoroeo TRrck.--We
learn that n prominent Locofoco of Weeds
.ro.t is playing a most dishonest aud con-
.:temptil.le game to pcvert a large number
Of Wings Of tina; own from voting at the
commg election. Ttle tack is this. lie
has purchased a large quantity of knives
from u gcMletnsa Ia this city with the
understanding that he will pay for them
whcu General ScorT is elected. lie is
now offering them, at retail to the Wings
of Weedsport aud elsewhere, for three
dollars each, to he paid ter when PtsneE
is elected. lie is careful not to sell more
than one knife to the same man- 1t has
leaked out that the understanding amoug
the L.ocofocos IL, that when the ftan who
purchased the knives at Auburn offers to
vote Oh the day of election, one of the Lo-
cotoco inspectors is to challenge his vote,
on the ground that he is interested in a
bet. Tie Locotocos, having a majority ii,
the board, are TO decide that be has ne
right to vote. On the same ground, ell
the Wings whohave purchased knives Of
the Locoloco pedlar are to be challenged,
aud refused the privilege of votiag. In
this way the Loeofecos. by losing one Of
their men, praveut City or a huadred
Wings from voting. This is truly a most
contemplate trick, and no one but a Loco
foeo would engage in it.--Aabura ~, "
