tIeated with the expressions Of profuse
svD1pathy which the North can ind for
the f'rebelsn in Cuba and Crete.
Yet there has been a restlessness
aiming the people which betOEens the
awakening Of the old spirit Of adven-
ture and romance. This is. particularly
the case among the young men, and for
weeks past it has been TumOfed that eX-
peditions in aid OF the Cuban insWrec-
tionists were fitting ont on the Geoagia
and Carolina coast.
We have not been able to obtain such
Information as would justify us in say
ing positively that any Of these eXpedi-
tiOns have actually reached their desti-
nation. Indeed, too great publicity
would awaken the vigilance Ofthe SPAN
ish spies, and make q successful land-
ing difficult to any bHt such men as
those who ran the blockade of Charles
ton 50 often during the late unpleasant-
ness. We may, however, without CONF
promising any one say that Captain
L aTik -BOnnesu, one Of our most skill
full mariners and bravest men, has safe
" arrived in Cuba. OF him no more
must be said at this moment
A few days ago some surprise was exc
cSted by the arrival iu Charleston Of
Geaeral Jordan, foFnerlY chief Of staff
of General BeauFegard This officer
moved about very quietly, and no sns-
pioi0ns as to MS real object were enter
tainednntil 10 was found that he had
disappeared from the city. The report
is, and we have no reason to doubt its
correctness, that General Jordan has
sailed for Cuba.
But this IS not all From what has
leaked out since the departure of Gem
eral Jordan, 10 is understood that he is
in fUlI accord with President Grant
and is acting with his knoWledge
and consent. The new President has
already said that Spain is entitled to no
consideration at the hands ofthe United
States, and he is known to be strongly
in flEOR Of the acquisition Of more terri
tory. Cuba would be q dainty m0FseI
fortae Radicals. There would be hall
r IL lion OfnegrOes to vote, and tRgislate
and play old HarrYn with the prosper
it6f the island, and there would be as
n. white men to rule By martial law,
t8sNeW Englandize, and, finally to re-
construct NOWondef that Grant should
be 10 favor of acquiring Cuba. 1t is
tf6e ll there may be a Lion la the path,
but a excuse can be feUne, for tlie suspene
sion of diplomatic relations. This could
mot be better dOnethan on the plea that
Spain was insulting and iniurmg citi-
1ens. This may be the reason WHY
General Jordan, it is said, has beer as
5suFed by General Grant that IF he falls
into the hands Of the Spaniarls no hair
afhis head shall be injured, and that no
Aiilerican who takes part in the insur-
re6tiOl shah be Improperly treated by
the lOyalists
This is the story as it comes tous, and
we should not be surprised ii there were
more startling developments in the
cgTuse Of the next few Weeks.--l From
