CORR ESPON ENCE
New ORLEANS, June 18th "a.

| I/eHf COVtCL - He Hcdt vi oullt-
mer is now upon us, in all its ardor,
and we Of the ''can't-go-aways," who
have to stay and endure the dust,
smoke. and heat Of the city, are to be
pitied indeed. Although green apples
and half grown peaches, and preoceous
looking MELONS have been in our
markets for week or more, we have
but little of any additional sickness, to
add to the horrors of an Imprisonment
here during this excessive warm
weather. The subject Of most real
amusement in the political world with
us, is the Presidents Cuban Fillibuster
proclamation, which is aimed at New
Orleans, Mobile, Charleston and New
York. I do not know any thing about
the state of FilIibusterism in the three
last named cities, but in this city at
the present time, there is far less Of
the elements Of disturbance to the
peace and dignity of our country,
than there is at the the Federal Capt.
tai right under the noses Of the Exec
utive and his Cabinet. There are
hundreds, yes thousands, of our citi-
zcns of all classes, who would rejoice
to see an effort made in Cuba by Gu
bans, to free Cuba from Spain. And
these same citizens would aid and as
sist in the liberal cause with strong
bands and liberal purses if needed, but
there is an evident feeling even among
them, to let things on the Island
"work out their own results" And to
cap the the climax of the joke (for
the proclamation is a joke, SO far as
this city is concerned a "burlesque
locale" has been gotten up at Dan
Rice's Amphitheatre entitled the eff
teen Thousand Fillibusters 'uuder the
Mouatains,' in rear Of the city;;' and
a Yankee literary character is initiated
into the order of the Know Nothings
and bloody Riots
There is no expedition on foot here,
having for its object the conquest of
Cuba, and this fancy of a disordered
brain, that has SO cngrossly hoaxed
the Northern press, exists only upon
paper or in the brains of those, whose
thought are offspring of their wishes
in respect to such an event. The en-
tire Northern press, with a few excep-
tons, are running mad over the pass
age of the Nebraska bill, vet | believe
if either of the sections of the Union
gains an advantage over the other by
the bill, the gain will inevitably insure
to the freesoil States. The tide of
emigration will set from the New Eng
land and Northern States into those
territories, and but few, very few,
Southern Planters will leave the warm
virgin soil of the Southern States, and
take their negroes into a country,
where, during three or four months of
the year, they will be a dead expense
to the proprietors. What sensible
man would leave the sunny and fertile
vallies Of the Mississippi, Tennessee,
Red, Alabama and Arkansas Rivers,
or the healthy uplands Of the Carroll
mas, Georgia, Virginia, and Arkansas,
where slave labor is none too profitable
now, and move to the upper planta-
tions and table-lands, Of the Canadian,
Platte and Missouri Riv ers, and their
sources, where SHOWS and
frosts last until May, and deters vegi-
tation until June. 1t is the opinion
of many, very many, here, that not
only Nebraska, but Kansas, Upper
Texas, and the Territories laying
West Of the Rio Grande, will become
Free States; and as such, will be ad-
mtted into the Union.
How unaccountable then is the
ana folly, of the masical ra-
wings OF the Northern Anti-Nebraska
press. But as fair offset to the ia
naticism Of the North on this subject,
1he Bulletin Of this city came out the
other day, and boldly asserted that in
event of the election of VIM. Seward
% the Presidency, the South would
proceed to break up the Union. Now
without reference to Mr.. Seward par
any more than to any other
man who may be obnoxious to por-
ion Of our people, it as quite as nau-
