The Cuban Expedition.
Tho New Orleans Delta endeavors to correct tho
erroneous reports which have been published respect-
ingjtho composition and strength of thcjforce which left
tlie United States under Gen. I.opez, for the purpose
of liberating the Island of Cuba. The Editor alludes
to the various estimates, and mentions five thousand
men ns the lowest made, and then procoeda to say :
This number is considerably over the merit. It was
certainly very practicable to have, raised a force ns
lnrge as that indicated, but tbe prevailing opinion ot
tho friends of the enterprise was, that if tho assuran
ces they had received from the Cubans were to be re
lied on, two thousand would prove a sufficient force—
if those assurances should prove unfounded, five thou
sand could not maintain themselves against the Span
ish army, -aided by n hostile and disutfected people.
Then, too, the raising of so large a force us five thou
sand men involved a large expenditure, which the
Junta could ill afford, mid might attract the attention,
and invito the interference of tho Federal authorities.
Their transportation and landing, too, Would be
rendered more difficult. For these reasons, it was
believed most judicious to raise a force not exceeding
two thousand, composed of picked men, of tried
courage and ski 11, and to organize and dispatch them
in the most secret and quiet manner. These men, be
ing all Americans, und having served in the Mexican
campaigns, and being-mostly armed with Jemiing's
patent rifles, would be more than a match lor quad-
rupel the Spanish force that could be brought against
them. With this force, it wus General Lopez's in
tention to throw himself upon some point where lie
has a number Of'friends, and by a coup de main to
capture the arsenals, Ac., of thp Spaniards, seize the
publtc funds, arouse the people, and invite all friends
of liberty to rally around his standard. In the se-
lectioh and organization of this force, General Lopez
relied chiefly on young Americans from the South
and South-west. The troops which left this city con
sisted of three regiments or batal’jfeis, of n few hun
dred men each. These were, at least, tho only or
ganized bodies that left for this port. There were
other detached parties which left tor Chagres, or the
point of rendezvous, olid others, still, that have de-
parted from Texas and other parts ot the United
states, for the same dcstimifiou.
Wefind it impossible to obtain full lists of the offi
cers or accurate returns of the strength of the regi
ments. Those which wo have, embrace only a por
tion of the olfiocrs, such as we could pick up by in
quiTy.
The first Regiment, which was organized and sent
off'was that of Kentucky,(De propaganda libertade.)
This Regiment left Apl. 25. It was commanded by the
following officers: •
Col. Theodore O’llnra, a Brevet Maj. of the U. S.
Army, and late Maj. in the Commissaries Department.
Lieut. Col. Jno. F. Pickett, late U. S. Consul nt Turk's
Island. Maj. Thos. Theodore Hawkins, late of the U.
9. Army, (18th Int'untry.) Capts. Hurdy, (late of 2d
Kentuckey Volunteers.) Logan, (late ot the U. 9. Ar
ray,) Marriot, (of the voltiguers,)Winston, (late of the
18 Infantry:) Licuts. -Dean, Johnson, James, Knott,
McGuffin. Titus, Hoey, nud VVoolfolk. This Regi
ment consists of from three to four hundred strong—
nil Kentuckians. They left in one ship. There are
others of the Regiment who left since, to join their
command, but we have not their names and grades.
The Second Regiment was that of Louisiana, which
left May 2. Itia commanded by Col. C. R. Wheate.
a member of tlie bur of this city, and formerly of
Nashville, Col. Wheate was an officer in the Mexican
war, and on tho disbandment of bis regiment, which
was enlisted for twelve months, raised an indepen-
d lit corps, which served tbrmigh tlie campaign.

Mississippi Vol unteers, who had lost an arm at Buena
Vista. Maj. J. R. Hayden ; Adjutant F. F. Fisher ;

manded by Col. N. J. Bunch,formerly amember Con
gress from Tennessee, with Peter Smith, son of Judge
Pinckney Smith, |of Mississippi, -Maj.; Capts. A. Mtz-

Baltimore, May 2!).
The Royal Mall steamer Asia lias arrived, with
Liverpool dates lo tlie 18th inst.
Cottons luul advanced. Fair Orleans was quoted at
71, Mobile at 7f, and Uplunds ut Tfci. Other descrip
tions remained unchanged.
The solos of tho week were 18,000 bales.
Flour uud Coni bad experienced a considerable
udvance.
Quick Run. Tho brig Robert M. Charlton,
from this port, made tlie passage to Boston in five
days, with a full cargo of lumber. She sailed on the
12th, and arrived at Boston on the 17th inst.
Hail.—After several days of very warm weather,
we were visited last evening, with a fine shower of
rain, accompanied with vivid lightning, and u consid
erable quantity of liail.
Board of Health.—At a meeting of tlie Board
yesterday, wo were gratified to notice a full attend-
cnee of its members, and to observe that the various
Ward Committees had strictly discharged the im
portant duties assigned them. The City i3 reported
to be remarkably healthy, and in a more cleanly con
dition than it has been for several years past, at this
season of the year. The Board have determined to
enforce tlie Ordinances of tlie City in every instance
where a nuisance comes under their observation, or
when reported by citizens.
The City Murshul, who deserves great credit for
bis uuceaBing ixunions 'to keep the City clean, has
been instructed to take up every cow and goat that shall
hereafter he found at large, and we feel confident he
will discharge his trust with fidelity.
Savaanali and Upper Georgia.
The lust Atlanta Intelligencer, in an article com
menting upon an extract from a letter written by on
“ Upper Georgian,” and published in the Republican,
in which the writer urges the connection of the Roil-
ronds terminating nt Macon, says:
An act was passed last winter by the Legislature
providing for a connection of the Kail Ronds termi
nating at Macon, but since that time we have heard of
no definite action having been taken to carry out the
provisions of the law refered to. Whatever interest
may be felt by the people in the Southern purt of the
State in this matter, we arc quite confident that the
writer alluded to, expressed the wish of the entire
population of Upper Georgia, when lie says tho
people are anxious to have the connection made be
tween the Rail Roads terminating at Macon.” The
fact that a vast amount of trade is contiuuully turned
in the direction of Charleston, which would, hut for
this want of connection in the Rail Roads, seek the
Savannah market, is evidence enough that it is emin
ently for the advantage ot Savannah, that the commu
nication between the waters of tho Atlantic at that
point, and the Tennessee river, should he petfectly
uninterrupted.
The preponderance of trade will always go where
the greatest inducements are offered, and we are in
clined to think that, give our own seaport a fair
At
do not full to receive from the galluntfy of Augusta.
In this way the business men of Augusta have muu-
uged to cultivate on extensive acquaintance throughout
the up country, which hnB proved of immense advan
tage to the trade of thnt city-
Some such menus should he resorted to by us of
Savannah. We should extend a similar invitation to
the people of tho interior to celebrate May Day
which is our spring festival with us. We should in
vite them to come with their families, ns they do to
the convention,and we should take measures to render
tlieir visit to our city every way agreeable and inter
esting. Ill the mean time, let our business men ap
propriate a few weeks of the summer solistieo to vis
iting tlie newly opened sections of country tlint are
now looking to on r seaport ns the natural outlet of tlioir
trade. Time thus spent in opening tlie way to future
commercial intercourse, nnd in securing the busi
ness tliut rightfully belongs to our city, would he
much more profitably nnd quite as pleasantly spent
as it would belli airing upon the Northern lakes or
steaming it in crowded watering plncessuehns Now
port or Saratoga.
Soda Water.
We yesterday had an excellent glass of this delight
ful beverage, from the fountain just put iu operation
by Mr. William Humphreys, at liis drug estab
lishment, on the Buy. Mr. II. treuted us to a glass,
the flavoring ingredient of which is nn affair of his
own invention, nnd which lie culls “ Suvannuh.” We
found it exceedingly palatable, and every way worthy
the name it bears. In this sultry weather, a glass of
Suvonnnh will be found grateful and refreshing, as
well ns conducive to health.
Mr. H. supplies his customers with all the various
syrups commonly in use, besides Pluin Soda, which
so astonished the palate of our friend Major Jones,
when in Baltimore some years ago. By the bye,
speaking of Soda Water, we may as well relate thnt
incident for the benefit of those of our renders who
are not in the habit of drinking their Soda Wnter
“ dry so," as the Mujor did. He thus relates the ad
venture :
“ After gwine up as far ns Youtuw street, I crossed
over and cum dowu on tother side of the street, look-
in along at one thing and another til I got most down
to Charles street. By this time I begun to be mon
strous dry, and us I’d heard till a good deal about the
sody water what they have in the big cities, 1 thought
I'd try a little at the fust place whar they sold it. Well,
the fust doctor’s shop I cum to had a sody water sign
up and in I went to git sum.
Scs I, “ I want a drink of yer sody water.”
“ What kind of syrup will you haveses he, put-
tin his hand on a bottle of molasses.
“ I don't wautno syrup, ' ses I, I want sody wa
ter."
11 Ah,” ses he, “ you want extra sody.”
And with thnt he tuck a glass nnd put sum white
stuff'iu it, nnd then held it under the spout til it was
full, and handed it to me.
I put it to my hed and pulled nway at it, but I never,
got sich a everlastin dose, before in all my life. I got
toreoor four swallers down before 1 begun to taste
the dratted stuff, and you may depend it liked to kill
me right dead in my tracks, ’it tuck the breath clean
out ot' me, and when 1 cunt to myself, my tongue,
felt like it whs full of needles, und my stummick like
I’d swallered a pint of frozen soapsuds, nnd the tears
was runnin out of my eyes in a stream.
1 drapped the glass nud spurted the rest out of
my mouth quicker’n lightnin, but before I could git
breath to speak to the chap wlrnt was standing be
hind tlie counter starein at me with all his might, he
ax’d me if I wnsu’t well.
“ W ell 1 thunder and lightnin,” ses I, “ do you
want to pisen me to death and then ax mo if I’m
well 1”
“ Risen I" ses he.
“ Yes,” ses I, “pisen? 1 ax’d you for sum sody
water, and you gin me a dose had enough to kill a
hosg.”
Mint, Mint 1" exclaimed old Mrs. Stallings tho other
day, us alto dropped the paper In her lap, in which she
had boon rending tlie late congressional proceedings.
“I wonder what on ulrth them pesky yankeos won’t
be nxiu Oongreis for next. Hero they are rasin n
terrible to-do to maKo Congress furnish ’em' with mint
in New York, to put In tlioir julips I 'sposo. Tliey’ro
always petltloniii Congress for something, and 1
wotild'n’t he surprised if tlie next thing they was to
ax Congress lo give ’em eronm to put on their straw*
berries. I do only believe that the ynnlteo hahys is
learned to petition to Congress, before they're out of
thor baby lumpers, us they cull 'em. Lord knows
they give Congress morebomlimblo bothorment than
nil tlie rest of the nation put together.”
3'if* A Washington correspondent of the New-
York Express, says i “Mr. Webster lias a small pam
phlet forth coining from the press—being a letter in
reply to tho Nmvhnryport Letter, in which he goes in
to the constitutional argument relative to the giving
up of fugitive slaves. It will make a sensation.”

Affairs of Rome The Holy Father, since hla
return, disappointed all his friends, not a single step
has been taken to inspire confidence or hope. The
enthusiasm which the Pope’s presence inspired is fast
wearing nway, and Rome is tailing back into that life
less apathy which prevailed lor months before his
arrival. LaatSunday, at St. Johns de Latcran, tho
Supreme Pontiff’ was received with tho most signifi
cant coldness, and, though some attempts were made
to excite the people, his departure from the church
was marked oy the same Indifference. He is con-
■ Bluntly in public, hut the people scarcely notice his
passing by, and unless something he speedily done, I
feat IBs Ilrtliness will become absolutely unpopu
lar.
All the respoctublepartof the community are in fa-
A vor of the Pope, if he could give them something
^ like security for person and for purse, and above all,
reform the several branches of a corrnpt Administra
tion, or give something like value to the paper trash
which forms our only circulation. As a nutural con
sequence of no good being announced, ail sorts of
«vi( reports arc in circulation.
Affairs in Ireland. Some of the Irish people ex
pect that tlie opening of a line hefweon Galway. Hali
fax and New York, will make Ireland "the greut high
way between tlie two countries.” The Viceroy
which has been selected to make tlie first expori men
tal trip, is to convey Her Majesty's mails, nnd die
Post-office authorities have been prompt in affording
all the requisite facilities towurds carrying out the ob
ject in view.
A meeting has been held in Westmeath where the
subject of the tenantry was discussed, aud where all
were agreed as to the urgent necessity of immediate
change in die system of land tenure. Tlie utmost
good feeling prevailed, and the general tone of the
speeches delivered on the occasion was distinguished
tor sense and moderation. A reduction of rents was
urged.
Royal Visit to Ireland.—It is reported that tbe
Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Prince
of Wales, will visit Ireland this summer, visiting on
the way the Britannia Tubular Bridge.
Funeral of Wordsworth.—All that is earthly of tlie
venerable pud distinguished Wordsworth wus con-
K siguad to eurth, at the little church oFGrasmero, the
II a . oritc volley of the poet, ou Saturday. The funeral
V w is intended t > be as private as possible, hut the at-
^ tendance of ludies nnd gentleman assembled to pay
honor to tho remains of the illustrious dead was very
large. There was a long procession of carriages and
horsemen, aud the church was filled with ladii s nnd
gentlemeu attired in deep mourning. The tuner
service was most impressively performed by the Rev,
E. Jefl'ries, of Grasmere.
The River.—The Memphis Eagle of the 18th instant
says:
The river at this point continues at the highest w .
ter mark, beyond which it cannot rise, tlie’overflow
iu the Arkansas bottom carrying off' the water. The
continued increase ot tho waters from above, will,
, however, be disastrously felt helosv the poiut. Alrea
dy we learn that two-thirds of the finest plantations in
ilte Mississippi bottom are under water; planters are
grieviously discouraged aud valuable property lias
seriously-depreciated.
A New Silk Factory is about to he established in
Chelsea, near Boston, the Bee states, by Mr. Vogel,
Swiss silk manufacturer, wlm hus purchased six acres
of land for t|ie erection of the buildings. Ribbons,

quality and richness to imported goods. The United

sill: :gooda.

chance, she will not be backward in this respect,
present, however, tho intercourse between the busi
ness men of Charleston nnd the poeple of Upper
Georgia,North Alabama, nnd Eastern Tennessee, is
much more extensive,- and the acquaintance more inti
mate, than between the latter nnd the merchants and
factors of Savannah. Hence it Is a mutter ot thoflrst
importance to Savannah thather business men should
effect as extensive on acquaintance as possible with
tlie up country. She lias a powerful rivnl in Charles
ton, to contend with for this trade, which is at pres
ent so rapidly increasing in importance, especially
since the completion of the State Rond to tlie Ten
nessee, and the introduction of a number of new boats
on that River above tlie shoals.
The advantages of the proposed connection must
be apparent to every one, and when we take into con
sideration tlie great benefits our city has already de
rived from the extension of our railroad communica
tion to the upper section of the Stnte, there is no need
of argument to convince us of tlie importance of per
fecting that communication in such a manner as not
only to remove all obstacles to a diroct intercourse,
but toinvitetlie business of our up country friends to
our market Savannah has done much to open the
way for tho bnek country to our own seaboard, and
tlie Stnte nt large is indebted to her for tho untiring
efforts she has made to advance the great interests of
internal improvements, and to retain the commerce of
the State within her own borders. But there is still
more to be done. Our merchants nnd people must
make use of the means they have established, in order
that they may reap the fruits of tlieir enterprize.
The connection above alluded to must he effected as
speedily as possible—we must not only open our
doors to tho commerce of Upper Georgia und Tennes
see, but we must invite it to our city, aud take such
measures as are calculated to promote our business
nnd social intercourse with the people of those sec
tions. We have mi active rivul in Charleston, who,
though she has her allies, has no advantages over us
thnt cannot he removed by well directed exertion on
our part. We have as fair a city, as convenient a
port, as able.business men, und all the means and col-
latterals essential to the transaction of a great inland
commerce. Why then should we not have it? In a
short, time we will have our own lino oi steamships,
by which our intercourse with the Northern markets
will not only be greatly facilitated, but rendered reg
ular and certain. Our merchants will then bo enabled
to employ their capital to greater advantage, owing to
the facility with which business can be transacted’
and our market can expeditiously be supplied to meet
the demands of whatever increase of trade may grow
out of our extended internal relations.

Highly Important.
In making our extracts from tlie foreign news,
brought by the Europa, we entirely overlooked the
following paragraph :
Jane Jones, n Welch woman, from Llnnefydd, hns
been assigned the existing post of nurse to the infant
Prince Royal.
What an honor to the name of Jones ! We won
der thnt their Royal Highness did not confer the dis
tinguished appointments of first nnd second nurses
upon Miss Hicks and Miss Hankins, of St, Louis,
who, it will be remembered, recently embroidered a
shirt a piece for Prince Albert, und his little loftiness,
tlie Prince of W ales. The shirts embroidered by these
young ladies are soid'to have had 247,371 stitches in
the work. Such devotion as this manifested in their
labor of love should have entitled them to some con
sideration, and secured for them the exalted posts of
laundresses to the infaut Prince Royal, at least.

with the happiest results, in cases of Chronic Rheu

The up country people complain that we do not
come among them und make their acquaintance us our
Charleston mid Augusta neighbors do. They do not
ask us to send drummers among them for tlieir trade,
but they tell us that they feel that their intex-ests are
indeutilied with ours, and they wunt-tokuow us, nnd
communicate with us, in order that we may better
understand each other's mutual wants and abilities.
There is policy in this which should not be overlook
ed, a policy, which lias been fully tested by our neigh
bors of Augusta. Shortly after tlieir road had pene
trated into the upper counties, they adopted a regu
lation by which every pluntcr bringing over a certain
number of bales of cotton to that market was entitled
to his own passage free of charge. This worked well,
mid was the means of extending the business ac
quaintance of the merchants of the city. But tlie
crowning stroke of commercial diplomacy was the
freedom of the road to stockholders and tlieir fami
lies, annually to attend the railroad conventions.
These conventions have since become annual festi
vals, and have been productive of immense advanta
ges to all parties concerned. The villagers and plan
ters on the whole extent of the road look forward to
tlie convention as nn occasion of great interest, when,
with “sweethearts and wives,” they are to make a
visit to the city, where they expect to make new bills
nnd to pay old ones—to moke new acquaintances nnd
to see old ones, and become posted in all the great na
tional and state interests thnt are usually discussed ou
such occasion*. The ladies, too, strange ns It may seem,
take a deep interest in the Rail Road convention,
which they rnunago to convertin to a most agreeable
pleasure trip ; affording by tlieir presence in the
city, with their fumilies and friends, .quite as much
satisfaction as they derive from tlie novelties they
.meet, und the courtesies rind attentions, which they
A New Litehaby Periodical.—The first num
ber of a literary periodical, to be called “Harpers’
New Monthly Magazine,” is to be issued on Saturday,
the 1st June, by Harper & Brothers, at $3 per annum.
It is not to contain original papers, it is said, but to be
exclusively devoted to the collection and preservation
of the choicest periodical literature ’of Great Britain
und American.
RqjP We have before mentioned the fact that a line
of conches lias recently been established between At
lanta and Marietta. The object in view is to prevent
the necessity for delay at Atlanta consequent upon the
interruption of connection between the Macon nnd
Western and State Railroads By tlie coaches, pas
sengers are enabled to pass directly through from Sa-
vnuuah to Marietta and back without any delay nt At-
lantta. To those who desire to pay the beautiful vil
lage af Marietta a visit of pleasure or business, this ar
rangement will be a great accommodation.
The coaches leave Marietta daily at 4 o’clock in the
evening and Atlautta at 5 iu the morning.
A Destructive Weapon. — The Trenton Ga
zette notices a novel instrument of destruction in a
revolver with seven barrels, each of which is calcu
lated to contain eighteen charges. These are tired in
rapid succession, giving ISO discharges in five min
utes. It is intended to he mounted on a swivel.
jgp The Albany Express says :
Edwin Croswell, Esq, of tlie Argus, has removed
his family from this city to New York. He is Secre
tary of the U. S. Steam Navigation Company, at a sol-
ury of $6000 a year. His share of the profits of the
Company tor the first year’s business is estimated
at 8100,000.
The reader is requested to believe only as much of
this statement us lie pleases.
