I'D chants and dealers generally, to their very
heavy stock of DRUGs, MEDICINES, PAINTS, OILS,
DYE S,ufis. Window Glass, Putty, Fancy Goods,
and Perfumery, which they are confident they
can and will sell as low, and in some cases
lower than the same can be bought in New York.
Our object is to sell to cash customers, or those
who pay promptly on the usual credit. Any such
wanting articles in our line, would do well toex-
anime our stock and prices, assuring them that we
can at least save them the expense OF frelghts and
commissions.
Many of our goods were laid in before the late
advances, and will be sold at such rates as must
insure sales.
The quality of all articles warranted. Any
proving different from what they are represented
can be returned at our expense.
We think it needless to enumerate what we
have on hand Suffice it to say our stock has been
selected with special reference to the Virginia
and North Carolina trade, and will be found to
comprise any and every article usually sold in
Drug establishments.
We are the sole wholesale Agents for the very
| popular Blood Purifier, Carter's Spanish Mixture
and many other popular family medicines, at the

nenof Thieves at sandusky.

A letter-writer from Saudusky to the
New York Times, gives an account of
the detection and arrest of six men Ill
that city, charged with ROBBERY at the
Mad River Railroad Depot. 1t seems
goods had been often missed from the
Depot and from vessels, and the exist
ence of a gang of thieves was c~trtain, and
means taken to detect them in their dep
repations.
An employee of the road stationed
himself in the Depot, and when the bur
glars commenced opening and rifing the
boxes, he got sight of their faces by
means of their own lanterns, and mark
ed the boxes they opened. When the
thieves and the spy were going out of the
Depot, the latter stepped Oh a loose
plank, and the noise alarming the bur-
glars, they turned, opened their dark
lanterns, drew their revolvers, and cried
out "Dea til to any man in the Depot"
The spy was too smart, and eluded the
flashes of their lanterns, aud consequent
ly the balls of their regolyers. Thenext
morning six r~ascals were :rrestcd-three
out of one family, father and two sons
all being in the employ of the RaiIroad.
The boys we're check clerks. These
burglars have been at work for a year
or more, and have sent stolen goods up
the Lake. Parties at other points are
implicated and will be arrested.

The New Cuban Expedition.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL.
Gonf0epfial agents of the CubarI expe-
dition nov fitting out under The com
mand of General Quitman. nave recently
been in Washington co ascertain how
far heAdministrdtion arc favorable to
the scheme arr will tolerate it's cxecu-
ton, Repeated private interviews were
had with the President and Secretaries,
the result of which was not encourage
ing to the. projectors. The President
was, as usual, vacillating and undecided,
but Secretary Marcy declared himself
inhexibly hostile to the whole undertake
ing, and the majority of the Cabinet are
with him. JEFF. Davis; whose natural
proclivities are of the flbuster order,
resists the scheme from his personal hos
tility to Quitman and only Caleb Cushz
ing, among all the members of the Ca
met, was found to give it a hearty q
enthusiastic approval. Consequent
the expeditionists find themselves lag
dered by the antagonism of the COVER
ment. and their ardor is considerably
damped. They have also received bad
news from Cuba, whre, since the appoint
ment of General Concha, several wealthy
CreOleShaVG Wl6nuIdWn run VIC ouppOIO
of the expedition. 1t was intended that
it should start from LIST to the 10th of
Nov. next, from Galveston, New Orleans
and other convenient points on the Gulf
of Mexico; six or eight steamers were
to be employed for the transportation of
the men and material to the place of
rendezvous. A large sum of money has
been subscribed and partly paid, for the
purpose of this expedition. George Law
is one of the heaviest stockholders, but
other New York merchants, the publ
cation of whose names as flibusters
would excite establishment, are also con-
cerned. Some gentlemen, among whom
Senator Slidell of Louisiana, migit be
named, have been specializing on a sup
position that the invasion of Cuba must
ruin the sugar trade and other agricul-
ture of the island, and that consequently
the sugar lands of Louisiana AMI Tex
as must greatly increase in value. If
the expedition should fail to start, or
should be defeated, the anticipated
profits of these gentlemen will be null.
However, Gen. Quitman is alive with
confidence that he will immortalize him
self as the conqueror of Cuba.
