EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE OF A CHILD.
The Pawtuckct, X. J., Gazette relates the fol
lowing adventure Of child, only three and a
half wears of age, which wandered into the
woods on the 10th inst, and was lost.
The course of the child was followed, in
part, by the information OF those who had seen
him, but mainly by his footprints IN ploughed
fields and muddy places. lie was found on
Monday evening five and half miles IN
straight line from his home, and fitty-tour
and half hours after his disappearance, and
fify-nine after he had ate his breakfast on the
previous Thursday morning. lie lett home
bare-Iooted and very thinly clad, having moth
ing on but thin calico dress and an apron,
and these were wet when he was found. In
this condition he had wandered to the place
where he was found, through ploughcd ilclds
and woods, and across bitches and swamps.
So far as is known or believed, he had not eaten
mouthful OF food since the previous Thurs
day morning. Two nights the little fellow
must have slept in the open air, on the cold
damp ground, and they were cold nights, too
there being frost on each. His feet were
badly lacerated by stones, briars, &c, and
much swollen, but he appcarcdt TO be otherwise
in good condition, and Is doing well.
The latter part OF the strange adventure ot
this child, was in and through an extensive
1 swamp, Ill which people nave Dceh losI' any
where, some forty years age, a woman, unable
to find her way out, pcrlshed, and her body
was not found until nine days afterwards. In
this swamp, is a stream of water five Or siA
feet widc and OF considerable depth, and the
mud in its banks arc so deep and solt that II
is difficult to cross it. But this child did
cross it; how, every one who has seen it, Is
puzzled to conjecture. From the appearance
Of his tracks in the swamp, it is supposed that
he wandered about therein several miles. lie
was found on the margin Of the swamp, but
was supposed to be in it, and between one and
two hundred men were engaged on Saturday
in searching for him. We question whether
there is another instance on record, in which
child of so tender years survived so much
fatigue, privation, and exposure.

MOTHER INVASION OF CUBA.

There is manifestly determination on the
part Of certain business men in New York and
New Orleans, and on the part Of a few unprin-
cipled politicians, to get up another piratltai
crusade against Cuba, similar to the one last
year, IN which Lopez and his duped followers
Fl gured All at once, and as if by concert, these
men are beginning to give out the word, as they
did before that the people of Cuba are ripe for
rebellion, and complaints long and loud are
poured out to the public, and thrust under the
notice ofthe Administration, against the author
tiles of Cuba. of nature calculated to excite
the preudices of our people and enlist The sym
pathies gainst that badly governed Island.
The Order of the "Lone SIor'-a SECRET
SOCIETY, gotten up in iniquity-has been or AN
ised expressly to bring about collision between
the United States and Cuba. Thousands of
talented, wealthy and influential men are men,
bers of this hellish nisation-dcma2Ogu
in politics, and swindhng capitalists. The own
ers of the California Steamers are deep in the
matter as we learn from the New York Herald,
and this accounts for their difficulties with the
Caban authorities They are factious and cor
tamptuous towards the Cubans, and retaliation
of the same deviish spirit is construed into in
Iii unity offered the American fay. One-sided
representations are furnished the Press and in
ducements offered in money and other favors,
and they spin out columns of invective against
the Administration because it does not see prep
er to play into the hand of these vile men, and
thereby enable them to make millons of money
at the sacrifice the peace Of the country and
many valuable lives. We fully sustain the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION in its policy in regard to these diff
culties from the beginning, and hore that it
will not consent to be drawn into the wileS OF
these shrewd men, who take into their calcula-
tons the means only by which they may make
money.
