GREAT PREPARATIONS BY THE CUBA Fill
BUsTERs.-The editor Of the Alexandria
Democratic, (Red River, La, has been
spending some time among his brother fill
busters in New Orleans, and writes joyOusly
home to his paper, as follows:
'The fate of Cuba is sealed Nothing
short Of the handof Omnipotence can save
her now, and the Queen Of tho Antilles
may set about preparing a wedding-dress
for her marriage to Uncle Sam. 1t does
not matter q straw whether We kick up q
war with her about the Black Warrior
case, or let that take its place among the
thousand and one other indignities we have
patiently endured. There is an expedition
on foot, having for its object her overthrow,
Of character altogether too formidable
to admit loop on which to hang q doubt.
This is positively true, and what is little
remarkable, there is no disguise whatever
about it. Men talk of it here as an event
beyond the surveillance Of chance. There
is no such word as fail |" Blatherskitc
meetings are not held, nor are our reliables
excited by symbolic giyings out Of any
Mysterious uAAAos BuN aAAOAhNo ~
something more, and better, q hundred sub
scription books are open, and ! state fact
within nay own knowledge that nearly half
a million of dollars has been subscribed in
New Orleans, and paid in, Any one can
see these books, witness the paying down
of cash by what may call countless
throng, crowding and fork over what we
may deem proper. Munitions Of war, huge
cannons, muskets, powder, etc, leave here
almost daily for New York and large bodies
Of emigrants are passing forward to the
Rio Grande. Up to this time these pub
lie movements have encountered no obsta-
cles nor will they in future. Men have
charge of the expedition now who are not
half-brained fools, but energetic, practical
business operators. They will start with
the snews of war-money-with picked
men-not tho rag-tag and bobtail Of large
cities-aud with appointments for any
emergency

CoRREsPoYDENcE OF DANIEL WEBsrER.-
Through the columns of the New York
Evening Post we learn that there are ar
rangements now in progress for the publi-
cation Of the correspondence of Mr. Web
ster, in two volumes, uniform with Little
& Browns edition of Mr.. Webster's speech
es,. under the editorial supervision of his
son, Mr.. Fletcher Webster This cores
pondence will possess more than ordinary
interest and value. Among the CORES
pondents of Mr.. Webster were most of the
distinguished public men of the last half
century, including Madison, Marshall
Writ, Clay and Story. Among the papers
is an account Of Mr.. Webster's difficulty,
which created some sensation many years
ago, with the celebrated John Randolph of
Roanoke. They were both members of
the House of Representatives at the same
time.
Mr. Webster's letters, together with
such of those to him as it may be desirable
tcpublish, will appear in such regular con-
nection and with such editorial comment
and explanations as will serve to make the
work sort Of biography of the distinguish
ed statesman. The editors veneration for
his fathers memory, his peculiar opportu-
mites for procuring the materials Of the
proposed work, and his intimate personal
knowledge Of Mr.. Webstor's private and
public life, point him out as peculiarly the
individual to assume the undertaking, and
will give authenticity to his work ...
The letters, the Post suggests, will prob
ably be arranged, (subject to such changes
as the editor may see fit hereafter to adopt, }
under the four heads of political, profess
ional, social and domestic. n
Under the first head would be included,
among others, certain unpublished papers
on international affairs, as well as letters
on the domestic politics and parties of Mr..
Webster's time. ....
The third head would cover such letters
as we have specimens of in his notes to the
New Hampshire steward, John Taylor,
Seth Weston, Porter Wright, and to his
friends generally.
The domestic would embrace the letters
addressed to the members of his family,
a CHANGE FOR TRADE.-It is said in the
Sandwich papers that the articles most in
demand with the Japanese are drawing
paper, pencils and Monongahela whiskey.
If they are very fond of the latter, some
charitable christian will, no doubt, be found
ready to supply them With it.

DS- Aneditorial in the Wheeling IVA.

B9- An editorial in the Wheeling (Va. J
Times makes the following statement
=" Mr. Solomon Sturges, Of Putnam, Ohio,
and his brothers, Il. p. and y. Sturees, Of
Mansfield, have purchased one hundred
thousand acres of land in Northern Illinois
for farm, and have already commenced its
cultivation on an extensive scale. BY the
aid Of the most improved implements Of
husbandry, and the employment Of steam,
they expect to put in about a hundred
acres a day. 1t is said there is an eleva-
ton on which a man may stand and over
look circumference of thirty miles Of
country, as beautiful and even as the eye
ever rested upon. This is intended to be
q model farm, and the most extensive in
America. The proprietors are possessed Of
unlimited means, and are abundautly able
to make it just what their taste and ambi.
ton may indicate.

GES. JAcKsoS's OPINION or Mr.. BENToN.
Gen. jackson is reported to have said,
just before his death, that the Princeton
gun added old Tom Benton's brain, just
as thunder turns milk Amy one who
should have observed him the other morn
ing, (as / did) would certainly give up all
doubt of the truth of the old Hero's remark.
1t was on the morning after the Nebraska
bill had passed the House, if l remember
rightly, that observed old Bullion riding
a fine black charger along Missouri avenue
SOLITARY and alone" of course. He scorn-
ed to ride in the fine smooth carriage way,
but kept his Rosinate reigned up so closely
to the fence which surrounds the public
ground on that street, as to rub his knees.
Coming to tree-box the old gentleman
would surround it with the rapidity Of a
cavalry officer and dart of again close
alongside the fence, till arriving at q heap
Of rubbish, he reigned up his charger, ma
king him place his forefoet on the hllloek,
and then suddenly wheeling him OF, went
on Pennsylvania avenue, What the deuce
the old man was up to, is more than l can
tell, but his antics were very like those Of
d crazy or drunken 4nan, and / believe he
rarely "imbibes.2 A gentleman who saw
him remarked that be must be training for
the next Presidential race. Be that as il
may, he is evidently a more fitting candi-

has been the result, not of the fidelity
and unselfshneSS, and patriotism and cour-
age, of day or a year, but of long,
consistent, and almost uninterrupted career
Of good deeds and of uncalculating devO-
tion to principles which often demanded
self-Sacrilices, and quite as often threw
those into minority who honestly advocated
them.
The democratic party stands like great
wall between opposing and hostile extremes.
While it exists, the infdel demagogues may
profnne tue memory of the holy past, and
their horrid blasphemies will injure them
selves alone While it lasts, revengeful
and infuriate mObs will seek in vain TO re-
sist the laws While it Hsts, its puJured
organs of disnion will hopelessly toll to
mutlate the constitution. Calmly, resoute-
ly, and with all its great energies, long may
il stand to defy the common enemy, to de-
nouncc the secret foe, and to keep alive in
the hearts Of men that love for the heroes
and sages of the revolution, without which
the examples they left US would soon cease
TO be respected or obeyed
We often turn with contempt from those
who, feeling the full force of the claims Of
the democratic party upon popular ap-
plause and gratitude, and yet, from recent
opposing connexions, unwilling to admit
what they cannot deny, do not hesitate to
descend to the poor malignity Of seeking
out individual instances in the ranks of the
democratic party, in the hope Of being able
to lessen the lofty fame which surrounds
that prganizationin the aggregated There
are southern wing papers who delight oc-
casionally in this wretched injustice-pa-
pers conducted by men who see the democ-
racy of the free States battling the enemies
of the constitution and fighting down the
fierce reyOlts Of fanatic mobs, and breast
ing the maddening torrents Of fanaticism
and yet these leaders of public opinion are
too ready to forget what is due to the right
and the truth, by seeking to cheaper the
consistency and courage Of those who do
their duty in the face Of so many fearful
odds. The DAYS OF THE WING PARTY AS A
NATIoNAL PARTY, ARE NUMBERED. Mr.. Web
ster's prophetic soul saw this fact from the
narrow isthmus between him and the grave
He beheld the vision Of the thick-coming
future. He saw that any attempt to re-
unite the wings of the south and the wings
of the North would be only to sacrifice the
former, and to pave the way for the over
throw of the Union. He felt that he was
the last Of the race of the northern wings
who would courageOusly stand up and resist
the fanaticism of the free States and with
his dying breath he besought his friends to
act ont what must have been at that hour,
almost inspiration. Thus his final political
aspiration was an involuntary tribute TO
the attitude of the democratic party, as
the true soldier of the constitution, and as
the only bulwark, in the NORTH; against
the menaces and Vaccinations of the abo-
litionists.- Washington Uaion

The Allied Fleet.

R6y- From present indications the only
quarter in which the fleets of the Allies are
likely to get dash at their enemy's cruis-
ers isoupon the waters of the Pacific. The
Russian navy in Europe has taken shelter
under the frowniug batteries Of ReYel,
Cronstadt and Sebastopol, and until those
foTtresses are demolished it cannot be

sian squadron which paid visit to Japan
last fall, and which left Manila in March
last, ostensibly for Batavia, has not been
heard Of since. That squadron consisted
Of the war steamer Vostock, the frigato
Pallas, the corvette Oliyant and the trans
port Prince Menehikof. They had not
reached Batavia up to the 10th of June,
