Important from JamaIca--Insur-
ectiOn of the BIack--SOuloquc.

The New York Courier des Etats Unis
has a private and reliable letter from Kings
ton, Jamaica, from which we quote as follws:
Encouraged by the acts of their neighbors,
the Haytians, our blacks appear also disposed
to attempt a revolution In the parish of
Westmoreland has recently been imposed
new tax. to which the negro population are
not willing to submit. Some of the disaffcted
raised the standard of revolt and entered the
little village of Savannah, where they dlstroy
ed some property. The police having arres
ted three or four of the ringleaders; their par
tisaEs, far from being discouraged, continued
their work OF obstruction, menacing with fire
the City Hall, if the prisoners were not re-
leased. Informed of these facts, Governor
Darling had dispatched against the revolters
a body of five hundred men under the COM
mand of Col. White6eld.
AS these troops were marching towards
the place of embarkment, they met long
file of carts, upon which were percbed a mum
Der of blacks, attracted thither by the sound
of the drums and trumpets. These people
blocked up the passage from the soldiers,
and the colonel ordered them to retire. His
order producing no effect, it was necessary to
unsheath the weapons, and the sword of Col
Whtereld, which had not probably seen the
light since the battle of Waterloo; fell upon
the shoulders of more than one of the poor
wretches Sooque. who lived near by, be-
held these exploits from his window. Far
from grieveing over the strokes from which
the negros suffered, he contemplated the
scene with evident delight. 'Ah y cried he,
the whites begin at last to see how the blacks
are to be treated, sweet words not for
them; they need blows and nocks,' Souloque
evidently adheres to his own system, and his
misfortunes have not yet cured him of his

Short Patent Sermon.


shall give you ser mon to-day drawn
from the following text:
The lady who before the tub,
Is not ashamed to ring and rub;
Or on the floor ashamed to scrub.
A1d cares not who calls to see,
Her laboring so industriously,
Will make wife for you ard me.
My brethren, since you know that mar
riage is divine institution, and that every
ole of you should have wife, what kind of
rib would you select A pretty useless lit
tie doll, one big and spunky enough to
wrestle with bear, and come off first best
l imagine you would care nothing for either
extreme, but you would look for personal
charms. 0, you foolish idoators, at the
shrine of beauty! Know you not that hun
dreds of husbands arc made miserable by
handsome wives. and that thousands are
happy in the possession of homely ones 2
homely without, but beautiful within. Alas
what is beauty ? 1t is flower that willis and
withers almost as soon is it is plucked, a
ceitful will-of- the wisp, sublimated moon
shine. The kind of wife you want is of good
morals and knows how to mend trowsers,
who can reconcile peeling potatoes, with
practical or fashionable piety who can waltz
with the churn dash, and sing with the tea
kettle-who understand broomology. and
the true science of mopping-who can knit
stockings without knitting her brows, and
knit upon her husbands raveled sleeve of
care; who perfers sewing tears with her nedle
to sewing tears of scandal with her tongue,
such is decidedly the better half. Take her
if you can get her-let her be up to the ell
bow in the suds of the wash tub, or picking
the geese in the cow stable.
My hearers-my text speaks of a lady be-
fore the wash tub. You may think it absurd
but let me assure you that female can be a
lady before the tub in the kitchen, as much
as in the drawing room or in the parlor.
What cons titutes lady 1t is not costly
dress, paint for she cheek, false hair, and
still falser airs. but it is her general deport-
ment, her intellectual endowments, and that
evidence of virtue which commands the silent
respect and admiration of the world. She
would be recognized a lady at once. It
matters not where, or in what situation she
was fouud-whether scratching for bed-bugs
with hot poker, or following hallelujah at
Methodist camp-meeting. All that l have
further to say, fellow bachelors, is, that when
| you marry, see that you get lady inside
and out-one who knows how to keep the
pot boiling and look we'll to her household
| So mote it be-DoW Jr.

New Movement to RevolutiOnIze
Cuba.

The New York Sun, which is illibuster
journal, whenever Cuba expedition is on
foot, this morning prints the t'Aag of Free
Cuba, . in its columns. 1t says editorially.
"We display once more in our columns
the emblem of Cuban iberty-the emblem
under which her patriot sons are, perhaps,
at this moment startling the ears of their op-
pressions with the cry which rang through
the thirteen colonies; in the glorious days of
our Revolution-.Giire us Liberty or giue us
DEATH
''We seek to raise no idle excitement. We
have good reason for the belief that if the
fame OF rcycltshas not already been kindled
in the Island of Cuba it will be before the
end of this week. The Cubans have, by many
bitter disappointments, realized the truth OF
the poets lines, that
who would be free themselves must strike
the blow
therefore ever since their abandonment
by Quitman and others, their betrayal by
professed friends in the United States, and
the squandering of the resources of revolution
which they had collected, they have devoted
themselves to new plan in which the initia-
tive and the first effort for freedom should be
erctusicefy Cuban Upon this basis they
have organized patriot clubs throughout the
Island, and the members count by thousands.
Their co-patriots in the United States have
aided all their plans, and will share with
them in the dangers and the glory of the
struggle for Cuban rights.
'sAll the stories set ahoat about the organ-
ization of American expeditions, are wide of
the truth This last is pure Cuban move
ment. The first of this month was the time
fixed by the Clubs throughout the Island for
a general rising. and, unless their plot has
been discovered, or some untoward event has
happened. they are in arms against their op-
pressors.
s.The New York Convention OF Cuban pa
| triots-a small but determined ,band-sailed
on their dangerous mission in the latter part
of March. If the patriots in the Island had
not already risen on the day fixed, the land
ing of the New York Convention would be
| the signal for revolt, Arms aid ammunition
! have been provided, and ali arc bound by a
I solemn obligation to stand by the cause until
victory crowns their efforts or the last man
has fallen Most of the Cubans who have
gone from New York are young men; mary
of them sons of the leading men on the Is
land, and all fred with the determination tt
! free their native soil or die in the attempt
They go forth taking their lives N then
hands,
The Cubans vii! now prove the sincerity
of the loud-spokeu American sympathizers. :
They strike for their own liberties. VIII
government see to it, that they have fai
play? VIII Mr Buchanan stand up to his
pledges and processed policy? Win Senator
Brown and Tammany Hall back their brave
words by deeds of practical sympathy? The
next steamer from HAVANA may bring u
stirring news-in the meantime, let those
who have talked Cuba, prepare to do some
thing to strengthen the hands of her patrio
sons"

On THE BUsTLE.--The editor Of the Hun
tingdon Globe, (we judge he is an old fogy,)
thus prates about something which he has
seen in a store window =
1--WE observe in some of the stores, an ar
ticle called hustle, for the the ladies, but
which, to our mind, would make better
horse-rake, or something else. It looks to us
to be made of sheet iron, and twisted around
the waist The ladies think it model in
vention. When we first saw them We were
very inquisitlve to know what they wore. and
when informed, We were then anxious to know
if they were substitute for hoops, but no sir,
only an addition. We think they are very
handy. for the reason that when lady goes
out walking, if she has any children, she can
set them on behind so nicely, and save the
trouble and Inconvenience of being bothered
almost to death leading them"

"KTOs Out Your Row.

"k1Os Ont Your ROW.
One lazy day farmers boy
Was hoeing out the corn,
And moodily he listened long
To hear the dinner hoIn;
The welcome blast was heard at last,
And down he dropped his hoe:
But the good man shouted in his ear: /:
"My boy hoe out your row!"
Although "hard one" was the row,
To use ploughman's phrase,
And the lad, as sailors have it,
Beginning well to "haze,''
81 can," said he, and manfully
He seized again his hoe;
And the good man smiled to see
The boy hoe out his row,
The lad the text remembered,
And proved the moral well,
That perseverance to the end
At last will nobly tell.
Take courage man! resolve you can,
And strike vigorous blow;
In life, great field of varied toll.
Always hoe out your own row.

Beating the Devil In the early days of

entice such as were a little green, and take

his hiding place, groaned and shook his

some other small matters, and declared that
