prove their system, Tor when the natural rich

For the Free Press and Times.
The FEEE PREss of the 5th of December, con-
tanned veIy satisfactory and conclusive refuta-
ton Of attempt by Mr.. B. F. DeCosia, of
New York, IN the Gaiary magazine, to deprive
Colonel Ethan Allen Of the honor of capturing
rconderoga. A large portion Of Mr.. De Costa's
article was taken up in an endeavor to show
taat the plan Of the expedition by which the
fortress was tasen did not originate with Col.
Allen, but with John Brown Of Pittsfeld. As
Col. Allen had never claimed to have originated
the plan, but bad always admitted and declared
that the expedition had been devised and set on
foot in Connecticut without his knowledge, the
writer in the FREE Pass did not deem it worth
while to take special notice of that part of the
magazine article.
But that part Of the article rested on a. tiimsy
a foundation as the other portion Of it, which
sought TO disparge Col. Ethan Allen for the
benefit Of Benedict Arnold. How excessively
the writer has mangei and ia sii,d the fac Of
history in his effort to dignity Brown as pro
mineut hero Of iiconderoga, is very fully shown

AFFAIRS IN CUBA

The Cubans are more confident than
ever of success. They do not believe
that Spain can spare many more troops,
as she will need them to quel dissen-
sions at home, while the Spanish troops

the diseases incidental to the climate.
AS to whether the Americans who
have joined the Cuban forces would not
also suffer severely from the ravages of
the climate, at least seven out of eight
We're southern men, or those who had
been acclimated by residence in the
tropics. ANY serious sickness among
them is not apprehended.
All the letters received by parties in
the confidence of the leaders of the rev.
dictionary movement in Cnba are of the
most encouraging character. The army
is being thoroughly organized, under ex-
perienced and competent commanders;
reinforoements from this country are ar
irving at the rate of five hundred per
week, with arms, ammunition, provi-
sions and clothing, an%&he Cuban army

ly equipped aud organized soldiers. This
force, strengthened considerably by
Americans from the West and South who
have seen service, is believed to be
equal to any army the Spanish Govern
ment eau place against them in Cuba.
This, however, is not their main
strength. The revolutionary Govern
ment set up by the "Volunteers, and
their seizure of tho Government of the
Island is producing disaffection among
the Spanish troops and resistance by
the Spanish officials, which all tends to
the advantage of the revolutionists. De-
sertions to the Cubans are of constant
occurrence, aud increasing every day,
while the morale of the Spanish army is
such that the commanding Generals are
afraid to trust them in fight.

WESTERN COMMUNICATION.

Thomas S. Flournoy, President of the
Norfolk and Great Western Railroad,
writes to the President of the Louisville
Board of Trade in advocacy of line of
railroad by Cumberland Gap, Bristol
and Danville, instead of by Pound Gap
and Wytheville. He says the Louis
vile and Nashville read has its line
nearly completed to London, As miles
from Cumberland Gap. The Virginia
and Kentucky road, from Cumberland
Gap to Bristol, 95 miles, was under con-
tract and considerable work done be-
fore the beginning of the war. The
State is bound for three fifths of the
stock. From Bristol to Norfolk the
present line by Lynchburg is in success
full operation, SO that by completing the
as miles ill Kentucky, which will in-
sure the completion of the part in Vir=-
ginia, Louisville will be placed in con-
nection with Noriolk-the distance be-
ing about 600 miles. The distance by
WytheviIe aud Pound Gap is put down
at $50, and it is stated that, should the
new Constitution be adopted, the State
will be precluded from aiding it. This
route, it is said, will enable Louisville to
compete successfully with Chicago for
the trade Of Illinois and with St. Louis
for a large trade from Missouri

THE BEST MEANS.

The purpose Of the "new movement"
was purely for compromise, to ward
of great threatened evil from the ma
tive population of our Stats who were
resting under the ban of the reconstruct
ton law and those who take sides with
it know of course that they take what
is ordinarily the unpopular side of the
question, for the masses, as a general
thing, are rather 10th to compromise.
Those who oppose the vote on the ex-
purgated Constitution have therefore a
very great advantage in their appeals
to the prejudices Of the people but let
US ask if any true man, fully realizing
the peril our State is in, should make
use of that element of the human mind
to defeat a project which they know is
the best that can be devised for the
salvation of the people from those who
will come into power over lis if we fail
to elect Walker and the Constitution
expurgated. ..'
There Is Ii" m,re popular side that
the editor or the orator could t AXE than
to appeal to the masses against voting
for a proposition that looks like iut1ict-
ing an indignity upon them. But we
ask the weil-wisher CT his State should
he mako such an appeal in this hour Of
the States danger? 1t seems that pat
riotism and love of State should forbid
it. For, by the success Of Walker, we
are to be relieved OF an incubus that
will otherwise be fastened upon us for
the next generation, riding the State
like nightmare, and keeping her af-
tairs from the management of her own
people and into tho hands of carpet
baggers and adventursrs Is not this
consideration one calling forth some dis
position to sacrifice pride in behalf of
our State Surely it seems so to us.
