From the n*wapaprr accounta*received by

begin to get n more correct idea ol the ba»i«
upon which the New York ^un predicated
ito col.flJrnt biltt-f th?t a revolution waa in
(•rogrraa in Utba op. ,we 13th iiiat.
Several of the New York paper* C'.ticur

• hil.cvrd that moat of Ute men who
embarjvttJ in tjivae vraacla (and the number
waa not Img ) were native Cubana; and
that they amt other* have been fora long
lime organizing preparations, at New York
and i-lanrhcre, lor getting up a revolution
»n Cuba. Of courat they mutt have received

of filibusters from United State* port*, and
the vartoua expcdilMna leaving these shore*
may have been ip the aggregate much more
formidable thun those named above; but ol
thrar we hav«j net .uciv ui-fiviilc infumtalion.
The Cr*l thought that occur* to u*, in
view of thia atute of tho qu* ttinn, ia that
the Ntw York ronfdanta of the in- v- inent
hav* I ten very indiecreot in tliacloaing any.
thing about it until they had heard of the
landing of the fi ihuatera and their reception
on the island. The New York Siui'l run
ning up of the Cuban Ihg and announcing
the revolution on the !3tL inst. m.iy have
been quite an rnthuaiaatic demonstration,
and perhaps secured the sale of many
thouaanda ol it* penny sheets on that day;
but if it also put every Spanish olficial on
the alert before the landing of the filibusters,
and caused tLcm to find the coast bristling
with bayonet* end guarded ly heavy
ordnance, the dt-fculed hope* and a,.ill blood
ot ths betrayed refolutioniata will he a dark
and im-lanclioly debit far overbalancing its
credit of barrels of copper cent*.
Tha next question ia, the complicity of
our Adruiniatrtiion i,-> this movement. There
nre good grounds for the suspicion that the
Administration wu* privy to tho enterprise,
and perhaps intended the !>30,000,100 to
aid :t. At all evtnu, the French paper in
New York, weeks ago, persistently affirmed
that aucb an expedition was afoot, and
vai.ily demanded the interposition of law
to crush it. Had the Cuban* been iu aciual
revolt, and had the natives of tbs island in
thi* c* untry, with *url> material aid aa they
could procure from ouf people, endeavored
to go to the aaauunca of their former coun-
trymen, we would bava been one of the last
to censure the (*oVernmt-ut for relaxing aa
far ee possible the vigilance of ita officers.
But, in favoring this clear and uaraiaiiksble
Jllibutter movement against Npaniah autho
rity in Cuba, and at the same time alra.rnng
tha neutrality law* to »uch exiraordinajy
teeaion io arrest Walker (who, wa maintain,
was no filibuster, but a claimant with at
least a strong color of title), the Adruiui*.
(ration has Utaplayed Unblushing ino tnis-
tency and partiality, and ite atrange cogise
can only be acruutiieif for by the suspicion
that it was aiming to make parti/ capital
m both cases. Nor do we think that It is
at all entitled to the thank* ol H,)utbern
nun for endeavoring to revolutionize Cuba
in this wny with the avowed purpose uf
accomplishing thereby the total rxitnciion
of the Aturan a avc tiade. But pottibl/ it

that wlienr-yer we treat with Mexico the

Ctabbergil!—* :>*rpor*l LJgbbergiil,” *■ ho
is generally called. Whether his title was
obtfjfced by aefivt servios in' lbs Florida
War, or whether it has msrslj been given
him in compliment for his great admiration
of bravery, is * question on which history is
Silent. Whatever may be ths origin, Clab-
bergill gloried in being called Corporal.
Moat men have some weakness, eccentrici
ty, or pnradventure, idiosyncrapy, of which
they fee! proud rather than otherwise. Cor
poral C-- -i ... had hia, in hia enthusiastic
applause of all manifestations of bravery or
courage. Daring f rnithed a passport to
hia heart where hsauty, scborapiieh-U fl n(* or
salfd meritemuld nevfer liope \o enter. Ho
waa bravo himself, or at least esteemed him
self so.
Tho Corporal had a dog *<ar b.a. a as g
tiger.” “Old Boss” knsef the weakness of
hia master, and'never allowed an opportu
nity to escape of displaying hia fearlessness
of attack, if no real damage resulted.
Corporal C — also had a beautiful
daughter. Maggie, “sweet sixteen,” as
ripe aa a cherry and as freah aa the dew-
drop upon tlie rose. Maggie, in her visits
iio the neighborhood and to church, had
“caught ths eye” of* sturdy and handsome
farmer lad. Ben Marshall tho aforesaid far-
mor bad locked bve at the lovely Maggie
awhile, until etuboRIcned by encouragement
he grew confident and talked tome to her,
when he found matter* ‘all xight.' They ex
changed vowa of fidelity ; but “the course of
truo iova runs not smooth.”' Ben was fa
ted to have a rival, in the person of a little
tall-eollnTrd, Unfit-pantnri, fiig-tyhiskered,
Itech-eyed city lawyer, llob Capiat, Esq.,
who had become enamored of the country
belle. Bob waa fascinating and vgitty, .well-
Ttttd, and in no wise timid of displaying bis
accomplishments. He was sharp enough to
see the weaknes ol the Corporal, and was
not backward in taking advantage of it. He
completely astounded . tho old gentleman
with the rehearsal of hib marvelous' adven
tures and hsir-bresdth escapes from unpar
alleled sernpei. In a word, Ihe Corporal
waa wild in his admiration of the “Murat”
or "Mad Anthony,’!
Hen Marshall was of the opinion that Ca
pias was gelling along rather too smoothly,
and, notwithstanding Maggie was hia fi^
f very aacreil plvdg#, lut determined to obtain
a view of them while together, himself un
observed. Ho, one nigfit, when Bob had
called upon Maggie, lien crept up to tb©
house und got beneath tlie parlor window.
The window being rather too high, Ben
had got a block to aland upon. Homething
mu t have been going on in the parlor to
ahiilto Ben's nerves, tar hit block turned and
down be cam*. “Old Bose,” hearing the
noiso of the fall, rushed to the spot just ns
Hen Marshall had ati**r> and taken to his
heels. Hose pursued, and, as Ben woe in
the act of leaping ths fence, ho fastened hia
•osth securely in the antipodal region of
Uett'a breeches. Den waa unfortunate also
in lti« selection of place to leap the fence,
there being *n old well just outside where
he went over, nnd inth it went Ben nnd old
Bose. The dog, upon ranching the bottom,
forgot his lain enmity, and set up the most
piteous bowlings, which Hen encouraged,
in hopes of bringing soma one lo hia astis-
tanco.
Tho Corporal aroused by the bowlings of
Bose, came forth torch in hand, followed by
Capias, Maggie t*mi tho whole household.—
Bosc’a lamentations aoott drew them to the
well. There was an old windlass and piece
of a ropo lo it. A basket was obtained and
tautened lo the rope, was lot down to the
dog. When enlirota out the rope just let
the basket to Hen’s shoulders, and without
consulting Boso's feel in go in the matter, he
bounced in and was hauled up. The dar
kies tugged at the windlass, declaring “dat
ole H->so was hebbier durt n beef.” Up went
tho basket—Ben fl'.apding upright in it—
until hiy head, tbVn Ins shoulders, made
tlmir appcarunco above the curb. At Iauf
tho negroes caqght a glimpse of Ben, «nd
“ Whooa I whew ! O Lord ! Jar* do Dcbbill"
they shouted, letting go the handles of the
windlass. Down, down went Ben end the
btskrl again, tho tarpe of his descent send
ing him through the basket up lu hia arm-
pita.
“What’s tho matter 1” shouted the Cor
poral, to the {lying darkies.
"O in arse ! do Dubbil is in dat well for
sure I”
“O, you coward*!” said Ihe Corporal,
seizing the torch front one of the negroes,
“Lei’s see what 'tie you are afraid of.”
Going up to the well, ho peered into its
depths, and could see tho basket with only
bead any arms in it, Ben had, for very
shame in being caught in auoh a scrape,
rrfrainud from saying anything, and still

Tiur Democratic Meeting-.
A very liroall purtiuti of the. Democracy of
8umter, in obedienr.p to acall frttm the Routh
Westein JVfBU of last weak, met at the Court
House, on Tuesday lust, to deliberate upon
matter# and things pertaining to the inter
est* of the Democracy of the Second Con
gressional District in particular and to the
f-Jtate of Georgia in general.
Col. Wm, U. Guerry waa chosen Presi
dent of the Convention and Gael. J, A.
Analog Secretary, Tb# Chair In a'very
digniUsd, Lut brief nnd feeble manner, sta
ted the object of the meeting, that it waa
tar th© purpose of appointing delegates to
tho Gubernatorial and Congressional Conn
vuntiuns. Wlureupou a motion ws* made
that a committee bo appointed loaelectguit-
able persons for that purpose. Tbo Chair-
mnn, of course, appointed the mover of tin*
Resolution, together with four others, to car
ry it into effort, whioh they did after a few
moments consultation* Delegates to both
Conventions Wait appointed, with a distinct
understanding, that should they hav* any*
business of more intartst tc them than the
welfare qf Democraty, that would detain
them at home, they should appoint other# in
their place*.
A number of flcsolntior.s were offered to
tbo ('.invention for their action, which by
no means gave ontir* satisfaction. The first
in laudation of “Georgia’s two distin
guished ‘Bcnators, Messrs Iverson and
Toombs.” The former, for hia manly and
independent course in which he had Blood
up to the rmht* of the Bouth, and the lata
ter for his logic and tltn/uence. Thia did
not pass unanimously. One of the speak
ers said that Toombs was not as goods
Southern man as Iveraou. However, doc
tors will diaagrao on politica aa well as phya«
The second Resolution deprecated the
spirit in which various pnrtirs wero trying
to injure Senator fy«r*on's chance* for re-
election. 4guito an animated discussion
took placo on the passage of thia roaolution-
It howaver passed.
Tho third UeAplution approved of the
courso of Gov. Brown, and (©voted his tr-
nomination. This, too, mat with opposi
tion.
The fourth and last Resolution was, that
tha distuiguished Representative of the 2d
C ingrcssional District deserves, the thank#
ul his constituency. Nothing said about
his re-nomination ; oh no, ho only deserve©
thanks. Right enough (hat Iverson end
Brown should be rc-nominati-d, but Craw
ford must be content with the thanks of hia
constituency.
Wc thought there were one or two In tho
meeting .that desired to lake a chance with
the distinguished RepvMenteLire in the Con
vention. That accounts tar the “cal ip the
meal bag.” Strang* to aay that thi* w*s
the pnly Resolution that passed unanimous-

fell upon the oar* si sol; as the cooing of.
“any sucking dove.” But in their efforts to
