New York, May 14.-Marshall Bar
low expresses the opinion that no regu-
lar organized, srmsd and equipped ezpe-
dition has sailed from this port for Cuba
since the comm sncemsnt OF the Cuban
troubles. He believes that msoy men
since the commencement Of the insur-
rection have taken passage from this port
for Cubs, perhaps to assist the rebels, and
much war material has also been shipped
to the island, but ostensibIy as freight
regularly consigned, and that most Of
the men went singly or in small parties
AID the arms in small quantities by va
riOus vessels, and that this is all the
truth there is ia the sensational reports
about Cubs.

ia rnnr. At the moment of death, particularly
of death by some violence which finds the body
in full vigor, the brain, exerting itself with
spasmodic intensity, causes those brains which
are connected Sith it by affinity to feel its pow
er, and thus to perceive the presence of the
person to whom it belongs. Such oblique
methods of communicating between brain
and brain, if such there be. would, IN the
opinion Of the writer. probably but rarely take
effect. The influences would be too minute
and subtle to tell upon any brain already pre-
occupied by action OF its OVID, or on any but
brains of extreme. perhaps morbid, suscepti-
bility. BIT if, indeed, thers be radiatinG from
living brains any such streams OF vlbralory
movements, these may we'll have an effect even
without speech, aud be, perhaps, the moaaS
opercxd. of ''thc li;,lo tlash-the mystic Inn"
of tho poet-of that dark and strange sphere
of halt-experiences which The world has never
been without. The theory, to which its pro-
pourdcr gives the nomc Of "brain waves" Is
IN ingenious one, ana may yet receive seien-
tlfic corroboration. That this materi i world
has within it host of forces not appreciable
by the coaraer sfnses. and that mind can act
on mind without audible speech or visible mo-
ton, and at distances beyond the reach of
sound or sight, is getting to be generally con-
ceded. But how, or under what conditions,
this power exhibits itself, is still an interesting
subject of inquiry.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-02-24
Power OF The South.

There is mere truth Than poetry ia the
following characteristic article from Brick
Pomeroy's paper, the New York Democrat.
The facts it presents afford abundant food
for thought to the people Of the South, as
we'll as wholesome warning 10 the pros
porous communities of the North:
''A fow years ago New York received forty
times as much cotton as Baltimore. Lastyear
it tas received only nine tlme as much. Ibis
fact is terribly suggestive to Northern mer-
chants and capitalists. Suppose the Southern
people should resolve, with entire unaninlty,
10 trado no more with the North-that they
should mako Baltimore. and Charleston, ana!
other Southern ports, The depots Of all .heii
trade with Europe and tho old world-what then
would become OF our commerce? Where will
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and the lcsser
cities OF the North find tho great staples OF
commerce which have hitherto employed more
than two-thirds of our shipping and of our me-
chanical industry? The South has only to es-
tablish direct trade with the Old World, to
strip the North for all time of two-thirds OF
its commerce; and then half Of tho other third
may be diverted from tho North or East by u
railroad communication between Norfolk. Vir-
sinia, and the Great West. With such 4 rail-
road Norfolk would be far moro natural and
convenient cntrcpot for all tho Western and
European trade than New York. That the
South has this game in lis hands, if it chooses
to play it, no one will doubt. Aud, therefore,
every hour the Northern people permit this
horrid Congressional persecution OF the South
ern people, they are establishing the strongest
possible motives for their own ruin. If the
South had. twenty years ago, established di-
rect trade with Europe for oil her staples, the
North would never have acquired the wealth
and power to su,juSao the Southern states;
aud. although we have pllascd those States
with our al mics although We havo burnt their
fences, r;Ael their parlors, stolen their horses,
destroyed their implements OF husbandry, and
murdered their population, the soil that he's
produced moro than two-thirds OK all tho ex-
