ftr.wnu. N- T., Nov. 8,1868.
Editors Morning News:
Deab Sms : As you have so kindly tendered
the columns of your most excellent paper for
informing many of our suffering people of
friends buried at Elmira, I will endeavor,to
Jay all the particulars before yoti.
, There are two thousand nine hundred and
fifty names of dec eased soldiers on the records
at this place, three hundred of whom are
Georgians and thirty-eight Floridians. The
remainder are from, all the other Southern
States, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia being most largely represented.
I visited Elmira last winter, to see if per
sons could get the remains Of their friends
without danger of mistakes; and being as
sured of that-fact from the complete records
kept, and also the well marked graves in the
cemetery, I returned South, determined- to
come again for the bodies of near and dear
friends, and also for others who have asked
my services.
On leaving Georgia this fall, knowing that
I would receive many inquiries on arriving
here, as most newspapers had given notice
that I would ascertain charges, &e., I deter
mined, jif possible, to reduce the expenses of
shipping bodies South, and accordingly,
■while in New. York city, I obtained special
rates from, .fast freight and transportation
companies, expecting to effect on arrange
ment for bodies to he shipped in that way,
rather than pay the express charges which
were then quite heavy; but on exhibiting the
terms to the Presidents of the Express com
panies, and through the influence of Mr.
Plant. President of the Southern Express, T
succeeded in getting.a great deduction on
| their former rates, and as it is mfiohmoie
convenient, and under present terms is no
more costly, I would advise all parties to have
; the bodies shipped by Express. It will not
cost over forty dollars to ship to most dis
tant points South, including sexton’s fee,
ire-boxing and draying, which amounts to
’ nearly one-half the entire expense. - -
Under the former rates, all expenses in
cluded, the cost of removing each body
amounted to about one hundred dollars, and
even more to distant places in the South. -
Parties who have granted favors in these
mournful duties, will ever be affectionately re
garded by our suffering people and all friends
of humanity. Among those granting favors
I would mention especially S. K. Johnson,
Supt. Georgia Rail Road; E. B. Walker,-Master
Transportation Western and Atlantic R. R.;
CuL Huger, Master Transportation Virginia
and Tennessee Rail Road; Messrs. Winches
ter, proprietors Western Hotel, N.Y. city; Mr.
H. B. Plant, President Southern Express'
Company; S. Dewit, the gentlemanly Express
Agent at Elmira, and many others, did space
permit, who, like yourself, .have evinced an
active interest in behalf of our bereaved and
suffering people.
Mr. j. H. Leavitt, of this city, merits the
esteem of all onr-people, and particularly of
those who lost friends at this place. He has
in his possession the official records of the
deceased prisoners, and has answered many
letters of enquiry from the South. He also
promises to- attend to the: shipment of
bodies to friends in the South-. He
makes no charge for his services.—
His lady, Mrs. Leavitt, cannot be forgotten

Now is a good time to disinter bodies; much
better than in the spring time, for then, I am
informed, the prison burying, ground is often

I think it would'be well for the different
States to make an appropriation, and remove
their dead from this place. * I trust that a
move of that kind will be made in the Geor-
gia Legislature at its next session. It would
not cost very much, and surely it would afford j
much relief. I have many letters in my pos
session which thoroughly attest the propriety
of this suggestion.
I shall endeavor to visit other burying
grounds as \ return South, especially that of
Governor’s Island and Point Lookout, and
perhaps Fortress Monroe.

[From the New Tort World.)
The highly important events that have
transpired in Spain during tlie last five weeks
which have resulted in the overthrow of one
of the oldest thrones on-the European Con
tinent, lias drawn the attention of adven
turous and - fiUibustcring- Americans to the
unprotected or weak stato of the defences of
the ever faithful Isle of Cuba.
- An expedition, or . rather series of expedi
tions, are now in process of fitting out, the
objective point of such being some central
point for general, concentration in the heart
of Cute. . .These .expeditions are severally
being organized in New York, Mobile, Boston
and New Orleans. The object of these sev
eral expeditions, when united, is the'annexa
tion of Cuba to the United States.
Communication has been established be
tween the" leading insurgents now in arms
against the authority OF the Captain General,
Lersundi,- and the'different chiefs of the
movement in the United States.
In New York city the acknowledged leader
of the fillibustering movement is. a Colonel
George W. Gibbons, who has held a commis
sion and served-in the volunteer force em
ployed during the late war. Colonel Gibbons
is about twenty-eight years of age, is u man
of powerful frame, and when a mere lad
servedunder the ill-foted General AViltinm
Walker, in his Nicaraguan fillibustering move
ment. .
The organization^ of toe movement is' 'as
follows: * '"""
There will be three points of departure, viz:
First—From the city of New York twenty-
five hundred men will embark in a'steamer
now chartered! These men Will'be‘armed
with revolvers, but will not have with them
any forger artillery, as it will bo impossible ,
to evade the United States authorities with. a
supply of muskets or ammunition. But the
vessel will carry, twenty days’ provisions for
the number of men wmch will be debarked
at some point on the coast, from wlienee they
will march to the mountains. Once there it'
will be impossible,to drive them from their
stronghold until the native patriots have ral-'
lied in good numbers.
. Second—The expedition from Boston will ‘
consist of eight hundred men; unarmed, hut
well officered by men who have Served
in New England regiments. These then will
also take with them twenty days’ provisions,
so as to enable the Cuban patriots to remain
in their defences and resist the Spanish vete
rans. If possible, a battery of small howit-
j zera will accompany this parfc_af ■toe .general
movement.. _
But the main and most important move-
ment.witi .be from New Orleans, the Mobile
contingent co-operating, .with the ’principal
column from Louisiana.
Three thousand men will leave New Orleans
in' fifteen days from this' date. They witt 'be
conveyed! by a large and' fast screw-steamer,
and with her, or at a different' tfay’or night,
another’fast vessel will toil, carrying stores,
artillery and provisions for fivetoonsand men. -
This body will-he under General Harry. Hays,
or General Charles F. Henningsen, of Nica-
rauguan and Hungarian revolutionary fame,
i .Colonel James. Kerrigan,. formerly of-toe
Twenty-fifth New. York Infantry, is to have a
separate. command in the New York contin-
gaat.vColonel Gibbons Las been the recipient
of .ninety-four letters, offering' ' assistance,
vritofa the past few days, and'iwo well known
merchants in thiacity have offered $60,000
worth of' shot and 'ammunition towards' the
tense. -
’ Two great difficulties present themselves
to the fitlibuatera in this projected invasion
of Cuba. First, if is doubtfuTif-the United
States will wink at them. ‘The district of
Santiago -is proclaimed; and Manzanillo,
where it is probable- that a large body of the
invaders would have to land by reason of -the
peculiar 'conformation of the coast, is, at
fottet intelligence, in toe handB of- the Span
ish troops. The principal officers in com
mand-of the rebel Cubans arc Col. Aguilleraa
and Gem Cespeder—the laat, who has been
a very wealthy slaveholder,..being, ja very
hraveand.efficient officer. CoL Cabrarea, Col.
Diaz, and several .other officers^.tevq : .hoisted
tlie standard of revolt, andii is impossible
to doubt but that the. insurrection will,,have
overspread all Cuba' up to the gates of Havana
in twenty days. . Nearly, every newspaper ed
itor in the Island of Cuba enters, sympathizes,
or is directly implicated In toe revolt; and
Lersundi hast been almost driven crazy with
the complicated- troubles that have poured
down'upon his .devoted head
Recruiting ofBcea|will be opened in differ
ent parts of this city to-morrow morning.
They will not be called recruiting offices, hut
will have toe name of ‘‘Cuban Emigration
Bureaus.” Emigrants will be received and
their, names taken down, and oaths will be
administered to, them on promise of strict
secrecy to obey the principal :“emigrants.”
The greatest difficulty - will be to: evade the
United States authorities. However, Marshal
Murray will'have another opportunity ' to he- .
tray American citizens - into the tends of.
Cuban Captain-Generals should the move
ment result disastrously, as did the unfor
tunate expedition under poor Lopez in Au- ‘
gust,-1851. -
Itad by a Mesmerist,
Much lias been said of the .intellectual'
equality of the sexes, and tois mooted ques
tion still arrays its combatants oh either side.
In this tournament I break no lance. The
party which wins the victory grasps a barren
sceptre. If there be inequality—the differ
ence is not greater than among individuals of
the same sex; and, in my judgment, the
Whole theory of accommodating: education to
what is peculiar and distinctive in either boys
or girls, to the exclusion of everything, for
which there is a supposed inaptitude, is im
politic if it were practicable, and impracti
cable if it were politic. Minds—all minds
differ in many respects. Some -are tardy—
tome are precocious in their development
Some reach their MfiMn of attainment
and strength almost at a bound—others toil
On, step by step, and are accumulating for a
selves only in the progress of life and edu
cation. They cannot be determined" by the
sagacity of the teacher, fajr foretold .by the
science of the phrenlogist Besides, it is the
business of education to aid nature—to reme
dy her defectsr-directing what is strong, and
strengthen what is weak. The truth is, that
voluntary, earnest persevering, protracted
mental action is the chief secret’ of
becoming wise and great By it, a
feeble mind may he trained to energy
and distinction. Without it, a mighty
intellect will degenerate in imbecility. The
differences of aptitude and exhibition among,
men and women ore not strictly constitu
tional, but referable mainly to their' mental
habits. Allowing, as I think is just " and
proper, a diversity of ’mental organization,
yet I insist that all the elements of mind’ are
common to both. The original combinations
of these elements are endlessly diversified;
but the characteristic results- are not more
marked as between men and Women os be
tween men and men. The dissimilarity,
which I concede, if not created by education
—the education of the fireside, the school-
house, and the world of social life—is essen
tially modified, by Woman's .social relations,
and the passions and affections incident to
those relations. The human mind is' ex
panded or contracted, corrupted or refined, ‘
waxes into vigor or wanes into feebleness,
according to the subjects of thought with
which it is most familiar; and if women are
not capable of strong thought, of deep
analyte,'of prolonged research, it is rather
from mental- desuetude than original inca
pacity. - Compelled by the necessities of
her allotment to think much of tittle
: things; meeting all the expectations of
society, as now constituted, without
effort; and, perhaps, disqualified by a
defective education for high and sus
tained mental action; it is not marvelous
that so few women are- distinguished for
great acumen and vigor of intellect. Even
among men, those are most distinguished
for power of thought and. facility . of expres
sion, whose professions and pursuits most,
constanty tax the thinking faculty, on the
high: themes of statesmanship,, philosophy
and religion. The deep thoughts—the ma
ture judgment—the continuous reasonings,
for which the great among men are' cele
brated, ore not natural or spontaneous—the
facile, untrained working of original powers.

hard study and long practice; and, , after all

The truth is, very great minds are rare in

great improvement, would not be 'deemed a
fair conclusion. Various solutions, natural,
obvious, easy, can be found to explain the
fact, without charging fill the' rest of As with
mental impotency. So l say in ' relation -to
women. Though not generally distinguished
for intellect, beyond the circle of their -fami
lies and friends; yet the sex is not without
representatives in all the varied walks of lit
erature. The reasons for this are to be found
first in the nature of their-duties and the sub
jects with which they are most familiar—sub
jects which tend to fetter and dwarf the mind,
and duties which leave no timefor attention
to anything beyond, the] graceful, the light,
the imaginative: : No wonder, therefore, that
-females figure most in those clepartmentmost
accordant with the delicacies of their physi-
oal and mental constitution:' and to which
they are restricted,' partly’ by the appoint
ment of nature, but mainly by the decree of
popular opinion.
society has not only denied to women the
/motives for strong mental-effort,-by which!
the ambition of men is roused to action, but
it positively offers toe temptation to rest in
inglorious mediocrity, as the' more respecta
ble aud attractive. . The love of admiration
is natural, to the human heart—nor is toepas- ;
Bion stronger with women .than with men,
.save.that the former are more dependent for
their personal influence on their personal at
tractions. This common instinct of our na
ture seeks its gratification in those modes’
which observation and experience teach to be
tie most direct—the best adapted to popular
tiste. "While, therefore, girls are made to be
lieve ttet there is more power in a curl than
in a thought—more witchery in complexion

In liis annual report, just published, the' 1
President" of ■ the Vicksburg and Meridian
railroad, which traverses the State of Missis
sippi due east and west, and is the Into con
necting, on the inland route,'toe Mississippi
river with Alabama, Georgia and Florida, thus
speaks. Tho importance of' his closing re
marks will he Appreciated: - -
The shortest line from toe Mississippi river
to the - Atlantic Ocean’ is ' from Vicksburg to
Savannah, 673 miles, and if the passenger
trains were run at twenty-five miles ain hour ;
toe time between, those two cities would be
twenty-seven hours, and for freight trains,
running at twelve miles an honr, the time
would be about fifty-sir hours. The Mont
gomery and'Selma connection (of forty-fdnr
miles) is now toe great desideratum for at
once securing to this tine that valuable pas
senger business for points east of Selma, and
jwe-are' gratified to learn that Col. Pollard,
tiie distinguished and able President of toe
Montgomery roads, has finally succeeded in
making reliable arrangements for the speedy
completion of toe Montgomery and Selma
roacL That hue must eventually be the main
passenger route for the great travel from
Texas, Louisiana, and a large portion of Mis
sissippi; to too States of Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, South and North Carolina.
WESTERN CONNECTIONS.
The Vicksburg, Shreveport and Texas Rail
road'starts from toe west bank ofthe Mis
sissippi, opposite Vicksburg. If passes
through Monroe on the Ouachita, and Shreve-
!port on toe Red River, and has its terminus
at the' Texas State tine, eighteen miles
west'of Shreveport. Monroe is seventy-five
miles front Vicksburg, and 'Shreveport about
one hundred and ninety. Previous to' the
war the road was built, equipped andin suc
cessful .operation between Monroe and the
Vicksburg terminus, bringing on its trains a
considerable amount ofvaluable business to
, Vicksburg, and passengers for our road. ' The
’road was built from Shreveport to the Texas
tine.Jeigliteeu miles, at which point the South
ern Pacific. Railroad commences, and from
. thence runs to Marshall, in Texas. Twenty-
four miles of that portion of tbe Southern'
Paoific road lias already been built, equipped
and put injoperation. With railroad connection
established between Vicksburg and Shreve
port there would be at once a great increase
of . travel and trade brought to our city and
road; from that source. The time by
rail, from Shreveport, io Vicksburg'
would "he 'about : ten’ ' hours; and, .as
a mattter - of. economy, both in time
and money, we would get all the New Orleans
travel from that direction.. A large amount
of Texas andlfiiuisianafiotton.'of beef cattle,
and also of Texas wheat, toe latter forty to
sixty days earlier than it is elsewhere ready
for morketi would be brought Jo Vichaburg
for sale iind transhipment. Then the travel
from itii Northern, Eastern; and Central
Texas; going to' points East, Northeast and
Southeast, from Vicksburg, would take this
route, and ‘ vice versa, Sooner or' later toe
Vjckstnng Ond ’Meridian Railroad, with our
eastern connections, will be a constituent
portion of tlie main trunk lihe, stretching
from the Atlantic seaports, via toe Southern
Pacific'Railroad, to San Diego,find San Fran
cisco, on the Pacific, and will eventually be
come the "grand avenue of the World’s travel
aild' traffic. '. This route has been carefully
surveyed, and found to be the shortest, Tliost
eligible and advantageous, in ’ every particu
lar, that can be constructed between the t wo'
oceans. “The distance from New York to
Vicksburg being;l,331 miles by the Selma,
Roine and Dalton route, and from Vicksburg
to San Diego, in California, being 1,100 miles,:
will’make the distance from San Diego to
Nep York 2,731 miles, or six days’ rail
road travel' The shortest distance - and
time, on this tine, from ocean to ocean, will
be from San Diego-to Savannah, 3,072 mile;,
brT09'hburs’ railroad time, estimating the
speed at 20 miles an hour, to Charleston 2,184
miles, and to Norfolk 2,531 miles, 126 hours’
railroad /time. ' Possessing ‘ such - superior
climate advantages over the more northern
route, bbiifg on a latitudinal line-between
ffib thirty-second' and thirty-third' degrees
ffom Savannah to San Diego, with’ the farther
advantage of a shorter distance, must make
this the preferred route for travel said traffic
between the Pacific and AtlantiA'Aeaports:
The advantages which will flow from such a
continental and latitudinal' line cannot* be
estimated or over estimated. By toe laws of
trade, the transportation bf merchandise, as
well as people, will adopt that route which
most fully combines the recommendations of
speed, cheapness, safety and comfort, "find
this will be the.tine that will most fully meet
thqise "requirements: ’Ship ‘ loads - of -teas,
silks, spices, and other valuable Asiatic- arti
cles of commerce, destined for Europe frill
be shipped'via California, and then by rail
over this- grand contifiental,'' and always
available, line to the Atlantic cities for te-
shipment to European -ports—making ’ toe
voyage from Canton (China) to New York in
about 24 days, and to London in from 35 to
40 days, against 200" days from Canton to
New York, and about toe same time from
Canton to Liverpool by sea. The distances by
sea in statute inlles
From Canton to London is about 15,600
From Canton to Now York. 15,904
" i Canton to New. Orleans. > 15,239
e 'establishment of such a direct'find
revolu
tionize toe commerce of Europe and America
wito'China; the . Americaa railways wqufd
then be the carriers between toe Atlantic and
Pacific of the travel And trade, from Europe
to China, and from China to Europe.' which
now takes a voyage of months to accomplish.
On account of the shortness of the route
heavy exportations of food, cotton and other
Western and Southern products, and-toe
‘merchandise of our Eastern cities would-be
taken to China in return for toe silks, teas,
and other Atlantic commodities imported
by the United States. In, view of such rea
sonable and important results, there can be
no question that tlie destiny and interests of
the nation, as well as numerous railroads in
the United States, are deeply involved in the
question of speedily building the Pacific
Railroad. It certainly would be a great event
in toe commercial history of this country and
the world, and one toat would add untold
and inconceivable millions .to the prosperity,
-of'this-people and nation. The travel over
this line, when completed, would be immense.
PerhapB from three to four hundred passen
gers a day would pass over our road, from
and to California, Texas and Louisiana; be
sides our local travel, thus adding to our
receipts from $1,000 to $1,500 a day, or-from
S30.000 to $40,000 a month. ;
A Sad Storv.—While laborers were de
molishing an old building in Twenty-seventh
Btreet, N. Y., en Wednesday, they discovered,
in an rat’s nest, a roll of bills amounting; to
$250. About eighty year3 ago one of the oc
cupants of tlie house lost the money. At the
time of this loss.a young man named Wm. Cum
mings, clerk in a’ down town tea jtore, was
hoarding at. the house; and as he was the last
one seen iu tbe room prior to the loss, he was
suspected of the robbery, wnd, on being arrest
ed, was convicted of the crime and sent to pri
son, with character rained, and bereft of friends.
He gave way to dissipation, ted eventually
died on Blackwell's Island. Rfcj e«7
