A Little of Everything.

These are queer lines We have fallen
into. NolhiHg is set,led-everything is
topsy-,urvy. Nothing is completed-ev-
erything is unfinished. Great projects,
and magnificent schemes which will, If
they are finished, make mark in history,
have displayed their beginning to the pub
lie view--have shown enough to keep us
in fever of curiosity. These same
evenss are now under way, are now be.
ing consunmated, and as we have made
it our duty TO record their progress, we
give the present aspect of matters and
things, thas: ...r...
annexation is a prevailing epidemic
just now. Everywhere in the southern
states, and in oil the cities of the north.

and avowed obec, is the conQuest.of Gu

war have been purchased, and deposited
at convenient points along the coast, and
5000 picked, tried men have BEEN enlist

vasion. Gen. Quitman is TO take com.
msnd, and with 5000 men courageous
enough to attempt the conquest of the
iiland, he will trouble the Spaniards no,
a little. The expedition is 10 sail in July.
Next in order comes the Sandwich Is.

and John Bull to keep Brother Jonathan
out, have signally failed. The arrange

pleted, and in less than year our con-
federacy will number thirty.two states.
A desPac ch has been received from Mr.
Gregg, our Commissioner at the sanI-
wich Islands stating that the Native Gov

the American party for rejection from
NH, English and other foreign settlers.
The Commissioner has been empowered TO
accept the Island for the U. S., and assure
the native government Of American pre-
lection. The arrangement will be con
summated within a month.
After annexation comes Nebraska and
Kansas. While the various parties are
deciding as 10 the msrits Of the bill, the
young men of the country are settling
the question of slavery in the new states
forever. Ov>r twenty hree thousand
freemen from the nor hernstl tss have start.

been made. The Governor of Kansas is
