ANOTHER CONTEMPLATED FORAY AGAINST
CUBA.-The Courier dies Etats U'ais claims t.
have positive, though accidental, information tt
the effect that secret flibustering organization
has been matured in New York the object Of
which is the capture of Cuba. According to
the information received, arms, ammunition and
funds have been provided, the latter chiefly in
New York city, where also reside the chiefs Of
the expedition and whence are issued all in
structions and orders The arms and ammuni-
ton, and generally the materials of war, are
stored in Southern cities. The scheme is said
to be quite ripe, and the promoters of it only
wait until their agents in Cuba have prepared
for the filibusters an easy access to the island
The points of embarkation have been agreed
upon, and aohen final instructions are received
from the coveted island, the signal will be given
for the sailing of the expedition.
FROM Washington, March
28.-From information received here, it appears
that the business of importing Africans is far
more extensive than heretofore supposed, and
that the arrangements for that purpose are in
relieve slavers of their cargoes and bring them
into the Southern States. Our government has
been informed of some of the movements, and
has taken efficient measures in the premises
Don Zegarra, the new Minister from Peru to
this government, was to-day formally presented
to the President by Mr.. Cass, when the usual
friendly assurances were interchanged.
1t is not believed here that any fillibusterine
expedition is now ready to start for Cuba as re-
Gently reported. The most reliable advices are
altogether contrary to the probability of such a
movement. The story is similar to the pro-
gramme Of General Reneau, promulgated months
ago.
The project submitted by the French to the
British government merely proposes friendly
visitation where there is good cause for suspicion
that the vessel is a SLAYER TO this our govern
ment has no objections, so far as vessels sailing
under the American flag are concerned, but will
hold the visiting parties responsible for any mis-
conduct or violation of maritime rights.
About one o'clock to-day the community was
startled by a report that Gen. Cass had died
suddenly, but he is in the enjoyment of his usual
health, and transacting business at the State
Department.
The Navy Department learns that the steam
er Metacomet, of the Paraguay expedition, ar
rived at Maranham, Brazil, on the 31st of Jan
uary.
General Bowman, the superintendent of pub
lie printing, has purchased the Union newspa-
per establishment, and will take possession in
about two weeks. Perhaps its name will be

The FIsHERIEs.-The Washington Star Of
Monday has discouraging news from the Poto-

The large seines are doing next to nothing !;
while the OILERS (of which there is small ar
my in the lower riverJ are driving thriving
business. Gibson made his first haul at the
Stony Point landing on Saturday, with loo
seine, and only took $50 shad and handful of
herring. This account from him, which we
have direct through one of his hands who arriv-
ed up last night from the fishings, tallies with
accounts SCAR as we have heard from other
principle fishing grounds. The fact is being ad-
mltted now by nearly all those engaged in this
business that the heavy lead limo of the long
seine destroys more fish than all other causes.

soon blackened it and trickled out of his ear
presenting as described horrible spectacle.

Estopped.

We clip the following from the Raleigh Standard
which we fully endorse and commend it to the care
full notice of our readers. After opposing and re-
futing the arguments Of Mr. Douglas it says:
The " opposition in this State and elsewhere in
the South are estopped from saying word in
condemnation of the doctrines of Senator Douglas
The Seward doctrine of the Wimot Proviso was
their doctrine national party up to 1854, when
they dissolved and enlisted under the banner of
acknowledgement; and even them with all the
:. odor of nationality" which they claimed, they
ignored the question of slavery As Wigs, they
willing to see the South excluded from all the
party which always voted thus in Congress to ex-
cude us; Kno,u Nothiags they had nothing to
say, but willing to stand by and the Free
soilers triumph. As Whigs, many of their own
Register admitted the Wilmot Proviso to be Con-
stitutional; Anoac Nothings they would not see
that the South had rights in the Territories, but
ignored their very existence. Ass OPpositionists"
they ready if not to exult over at least to
aquiesce in the election of Seward Mr. Bell, of
Tennessee says he will act with the Black Republi-
cans in a certain event and the Raleigh Register
declares that as between national Democrat and a
black Republican for President, it would make no
choice! With their hands on their mouths, and
with their mouths in the dust let them be thank
fl to the national Democratic party for its past
ertions and present efforts to protect the Constu-
tiol and perpetuate the Union and to secure to
them and their posterity equal rights and privileges
as citizens of a common country. If the national
it quite certain that the opposition" controlled by
Seward, will not. If there is nothing to hope for
from the Democracy, then there is ground of
hope. Let those Gf there be any, who think there
is no ground of hope, either make up their minds
to resist like men, prepare to lie down under the
insults and indgntes which the abolitionists will
put upon them. If Seward is elected, squatter
sovereignty and Territorial sovereignty will be tfiv
ial things, compared with the aggressions which he
will make upon Under his administration and
those of the stamp who may succeed him, the
States must become either slave or free That is
his doctrine and that is the policy which his tri
umph would inaugurate. We repeat, our only
hope is in the national Democratic party. That
party will nominate sound and true man at Char
leston As we value our rights, and we woulc
perpetuate the Union fathers formed it, lei
us rally to the nominee and elect him.
Of course, as between the two, or in fact be-
tween Mr. Bates, Bell Bolts, we would prefe,
Mr. Douglas theory Theirs is entirely antago-
nstic to the Constitution and destructive of the
best interests of the South.
Their doctrine is that Congress has right to
abolish slavery III the Territories, and if this right
was once conceded, the next and inevitable result
would be a right to abolish it in the States.

sSy@The Editor of the Newbern Progress, who
attended a costume Ball at Beaufort, and seeing
Miss Dobbin of our Town, who it appears personi-
fed the Maid of the Mist, pays her the following
high compliment:
She was dressed in pure white, and had white
veil festooed at the top of the head which fell to
the floor enveloping her whole person, and causing
her to look like those terrestrial forms which
we read of in fairy tales sporting the white
capped waves of the sea than anything earthly.
Not only was she divine to look upon, but her
sparkling wit and comliness of bearing attracted and
imprisoned a train of admirers. We must confess
to little partality in her favor, and if she was
annoyed that so much of her time monopolized
by we can only retort that had she looked and
acted less lovely it might have been different.
