told you Of . movement in certain
quarters. that would soon develops

ing another and more effectual trial
Of arms with the Spanish power in
Cuba, BY the citizens Of Cuba them
selves. / have been endeavoring to
obtain precise information from the
parties engaged in the affair, but as
the scheme has been suspended for
short time l do not feel at liberty to
say more at present. than that As events
are themselves pushing on to . con-
Summation in the lever faithful Isle," it
has been thought proper to let those
designed by the gods for destruction,
to do the work themselves as far as
possible, and the parties here to look
on with an eye watchful and vigilent
as that Of the uusleeping serpent
But to particularize-no one Of the
old fogy fillibusters are in this new
force or band, and their movements
are so far secret that the light Of the
Lone Star cannot and will not be pre-
mitted to reach them. And farther,
no brogue, or lisp, or roll Of a foreign
born tongue, will be heard in the
concils Of the Band" If they are
betrayed, they will be 80 by full
bl0oded Americans alone.
This to many may be and is new
feature in secret associations, but the
fact is nevertheless true SO far as this
band is concerned. If q secret Of
vast importance cannot be kept, when
locked up in the breast Of true born
american, it is safe nowhere, a. it is
too notorious that in every secret orga-
nizatiou of the kind heretofore, the
movements, personal and intent of
the rsociety or company have been
sold, to whom it concerned by for
eigners, members in the pay Of certain
consuls and parties here and in Cuba.
But in this case I can safely say, that
the .clso, sohe4, what next and scJseye
will be and remain an issc0nnw ex-
cept to the band, up to the very mo.
ment blow is struck and the result
is known.
In my former letter / mentioned
the fact Of vessels leaving here and
some Of our northern ports for the
purpose Of engaging in the slave trade
trade of Cuba. The
policy just now developing in cuba
was known to have been determined
upon year or more ago, by men in
this city. and you may rely upon it
that grand movement will soon be
made, but not from New Orleans.
The Governor soas right in allud-
ing to the affairs of Cuba in the way
he did in his message to our legisla-
ture, and l am willing to make the
ansends, now, for disbelieving in its
propriety at the time, for then / was
aboring under a misconception Of
things, which have since then been
stripped, so to speak Of their colors,
md shown up in their true forms. The
Governor was right say, and l was
wrong, though l was then quite as
certain of a movement going on as
low, but not of its true character.
Will the Gov. let the matter rest
where it is, in the hands Of the Com
nittee en- Federal relations! Or will
rot some one call it up and embody it
