to Su"ua la Grande. There was another
cabinet council yexterdav, at which our rela
tions with Cuba were fully discussed. I lie
members of. tho cabinet in favor of immedi
ate and energetic steps taken against Cuba
were: .
The President, Secretary Ontherie,
Secretary Davis, Secretary Campbell,
Secretary dobbin, Secretary McClelland.
Against any decided movement for the
present, were
Stcrctary Marcv,
Attorney General Gushing.
Secretary Davis was in favor of the most
decided action to compel an immediate npol
ojjy, from the Captain General. I um told
that Davis is very violent, and urges the
strongest measures for reparation.
' Orders have been sent to Peiisacohi, Nor
folk, Philadelphia, New Vork, and Boston, to
have till available vessels and material pre
pared for immediate service, and instructions
have been issued to all naval otiicers at thoso
points to hold themselves in readiness for
sea. It is thought that n portion of tho
Mediterranean fleet, us well as tho Brazil
squadron, will be called home for the emer
ge n ey.
Preparations for War Energetic Measures
Contemplated.
Washington, .March 30, 10 P. M.
Another consultation with his Cabinet has
determined the President to draw from the
different stations every vessel which can pos
sibly bo spared, und order them forthwith to
join the (iuif squadron. A largo portion of
tho late navy appropriations will ho expended
in providing steamers, ostensibly to trans
port provisions, but really to transport men
nd military stores to our Southern coast.
A decided step is to he tilscn, and the conse
quences left to take Care of themselves.
War is the only theme discussed on the
streets to day.
An extra session of Congress is regarded
ss impracticable, as only three of the South
ern States could he represented. President
l'ierce Will adopt Mr. Polk's plan, and con
sider a state of war existine;.
1 am happy in being able to assure- you
tl ut the policy now resolved upon by tint
government, hits the Cabinet with it as u unit
M sentiment, and that sentiment adopts im
mediate action fur the recent insults which
ur 6 ig him been made to sillier under, and
rtvleTs to obtain redress have been forwarded
to those who will too gladly see them car
ried into execution. One vastly important
feature, brought about by the recent irans:c
ons in mid about Cuba, relluctiug upon our
nat'onal reputation is, that whilst the gov-
rrnment will not er.cuur ge (filibustering it
will not for the future, tind it incumbent up
on it to listen to the various reports of
schemes on foot for invasion.
DEATH OF COL. McCLUNG.
Tho Jackson Mississippi;!!!, of the 22 d nit.,
gives tho following particulars of the suicide
of Col. MuClunr, of Mississippi:
"Our community has rarely ever sustained
greater shock than when on Saturday last
it became known that Col. Alexander K.
McClung had come to his death by bis own
h mils, at his lodgings at the Eagle Hotel.
The weapon used was a pistol the ball en
tering behind tho right ear. Its report was
Indistinctly heard by some of the house, but it
did not uwaken suspicion of a serious occur
rence. Some half hour afterwards n servant
bad occasion to visit his room, when life was
found to bo exlincti Those with whom the
deceased had conversed during the day had
received I rem hint no intimation of his inten
tion, nor did ho leave behind him any expla
nation of the cause which prompted tho mel
ancholy act. He was about forty-one or two
years of nge."
With all his eccentricities, Col. McClnng
was, confessedly, one of the most intellectual
men in the South, 1'he Mississippian (al
ways opposed txi him in politics) pays him
the highest compliment: "His talents were
of the highest order. His genius was great
nnd original. To a rieli and vivid imagina
tion, sparkling wit, withering satire, nnd a
cultivated taste he added a logical and in
tensely severe precision of thought. There
was nothing cuumwnplam in anything which
emanated from bis brain. Whether as a
writer or an extemporaneous speaker, the
same preeminence marked bis productions.
Kilt the profession of arms best united him.
He was n soldier by nature, nnd no Richard
or paladin of old better merited than he the
title- of "Jon-Hearted!"

A Model Jury. We saw in one of our
English exchanges that two men were lately
indicted ut the Stafford sessions for stealing
port wine. Thoy went to the White Hart
cellar, nnd having got drunk.stole a bottle of
port from the bin and hid it. It was deemed
essential tlmtthe jury should decide whether
the stolen wine was actually taken from the
bin in question, and this could only lie done
by tasting. Two bottles were accordingly
handed up, but so dillii-ult was the point that
the jury were unable to arrive at liny satis
factory decision unli they had finished both
bottles. They then convicted the prisoners
on w hich the prisoners' counsel remarked
that if they bad not lone justice to their cli
ents, they had ccrtahly done justice to the
wine.

THE WAR.
Describing the receut storming of s Russian
redoubt bv the French, tho London Times
says :
It appears by the last accounts that, the
purpose of the allied m-neruls is still fixed on
the prosecution of the siee by menus of a
honil rtrdinciit, followed by nil assault. Two
expiTiuifiitul attacks have been ina.le bv the
Fiem-h in two different wnys, which serve to
show that it is not easy to gain an sdvniitazo
ovtr an indefatigable antnyotiist, ft appears
front l.otli the KiieMnn mid French reports
that in the night of the 21.st of February the
Russians succeeded in throwing; U with irrest
rnpidity a new redoubt on the rL'ht hank of
the cartelling 1is!'bul. Within forty-eijlit
hours Gen. Cunrobert resolved to force this
new position, ami the attack wss riiade be
fore the work llrtd bccii completed. A lurise
IRnly f French troops, under Gen. Moueto;
advanced in the ni'ht of tba SSd, against this
redoubt. The Zntinves rushed upon the in-lieiK-hiiiviils
wilh the utmost bravery, nnd i
saniruiiinry contest ensiled, which co-'t nearly
null of llnse admirable soldiers. The lius
sian inf.ii;ry regiments of SeleiiL'hinski and
Volhyma, tinder (.ien. Krotislvltoff, defended
the work with frrent steadiness, and after a
severe oomVat the French column was com
pelled to retreat. This unfortunate result
bus been attributed to several causes the
disclosure by spies of the French plan of at
tack, the firs, of the Russian vessels in the
harbor and fiom the surrounding forts, and a
want of steatViness on the part of one portion
of the assailants, who are said to have left
the Zouaves to bear the brunt of the engage
ment. "
We are unable to determine with . certain
ty whut amount of trutfi there may be iu
these statements, but it is undoubtedly true
that the Uussiu us appear to have expected
the attack, and had occupied the position
with a small army rather thnn with a detach
ment in proportion to its extent. On the side
of the French the force consisted of only half
a brigade of Zouaves, 1,601) strong, two bat
ta'ilions of marines, 2,3nO strong, and 400 vol
unteers, in all less than 4,5oii men. The
Russians were 10,000 strong, and the unfortu
nate Zouaves fell into n regular ambuscade.
Neverthelea, such was ill dauntless vigor of
these troops that they stormed the redoubt
ami held one half of it against fearful odd's,
when the Russians succeeded in outflanking
the column; the marines were separated from
the Zouaves and driven back in all direct ions,
and the bitter were Completely surrounded
by the enemy. A second time they succeed
ed by sheer hnnd to hind righting, in com
pleting the capture of the redoubt, but no
sooner had the Russian infantry fallen back
than the batteries and ships opened a terrific
tire upon the work and rendered it complete
ly untenable. It was not till then that Gen
eral Jlouet who was twice severely wounded,
ordered a retreat, and though the niu'ht was
disastrous from the loss of many Hundred
lives and the failure of the chief object, the
gallantry displayed by the Zouaves was such
that this repulse mny well be ranked with
their most brilliant achievements.
To the Officers and Soldiers, ai d the Defen
dants of the Officer and Soldiers, of the
Army of the Revolution.
It is suggested, wherever n standard was
raised, n sw ord drawn, or srun tired in defence
of liberty, or one drop of Revolutionary blood
remains, that yon call meetings throughout
the Union and pass resolutions, binding your
selves, and urging your children and friends
to bind themselves, to vote for no man, w hat
ever may be his political opinions, in the
Senate or House of Representatives of the.
United States, unless he pledge himself, If
elected, to do an act of long deferred justice
in voting the half pay for life solemnly prom
ised by a Continental Congros to keep to
gether a sufTering.starving army on the brink
of ruin, by whose patience, perseverance, faith
and valor the present generation are indebted
for a tree nnd independent Government.
The old cry that the Government was too
poor to pay their honest debts can with truth
exist no longer; but now, with an overflowing
treasury, the ballot-box, nnd that nlone, is
your only hope and last resort.
Friends and lovers uf our glorious Revolu
tion and of out glorious Declaration of Inde
pendence from British rule, bo firm and stead
fast like your forefathers! When elections
take place, be prepared to tn.ikc one grand
rally, rush to tlie polls and the ballot-box,
di'posile your votes for men upon w hom you
can rely to obtain for you your long neglect
ed rights. )o not consider yourselves hum
ble petitioners or servile beggars to a body
without heart or soul, but consider yourselves
Americans and freemen; that ) have it in
your porter, through the ballot-box, of trVik
ii tr yourselves heard in tones of thunder
throughout the halls of Congress.
A Descendant of a Ucncral Officei,
Who asks nothing for himself of Government.
It is hoped th.it editors throughout the
Union loving justice nnd national integrity
will give the above one or moie insertions in
their journals.
To tub Point. Wo have never seen
scriptural quotations more aptly applied,
than in the following dialogue, which took
place at thu t ible of Bishop Doaiie:
It is stated that Bishop Doane.of New Jer.
bcv, is sirengly opposed to temperance. A
short time since, Rev. Mr. Perkins, of the
same denomination, and a member of the or
der of "Sons," dined with tho Bishop, who,
pouring out a glass of wine, desired the rev
erend gentleman to drink with him, where
upon he replied:
" Can't do it, Bishop, wine is a mock
er." "Take s glass of brandy, then," Baid the
distinguished ecclesiastic.
"Can't do it, Bisho)), 'strong drink is rag
ing.1 "
By this time the Bishop, becoming some
what restive nnd excited, said to Mr. Per
kins :
"You'll pass tho decanter to tho gentleman
next to you," '
"No, Bishop, I can't do that,' woe unto
him that puttelli the bottle to his neighbor's
lips.' "
What was the peculiar mnn'.al condition
.r n,iril Ht ito of the Bislion at this Maize
of the proceedings our informant did not
state.

"the snow in this vicinity is two feet deep,
observes, "It is two AnefJ deep here."
-g?""l love to hear n hearty laugh," says
s pleasant American Magazinist. "I love to
hear a harty laiigli above all other sounds.
It is the' music of the heart; tho thrill of
those chords which vibrato from no bad
touch; tho language Heaven has given us to
carry on tho exchange of sincere nnd disin
terested sympathies. Herein we difler from
the brutes. Animals don't laugh."
ltfA genius, wilh n face as long as n

us, that whatever amount of "cooing" there
may bo in n honeymoon, the party interested
may be pretty sum of having a fearful amount
of "billing" afterwards. Awful.-

A Model Policeman. In Pittsburg, a few
dais ago, a Vagrant Woman was sentenced to

the purpose of being conveyed thither. The
woman baviny; a sum of money amounting
to lit'ty cents, invited her custodian into a

cotnplicd, and they went on n regular spree,
both gettitig gloriously drunk on tho hall

next morning tli.it his prisoner had taken him
to his own house and then decamped.
Easily Tkstkd. If any one who is trou
bled with cold and chilled feet, nnd we know
there urn many, will take the trouble to
plunge 'liein in cold water and wipe them
tlry just before going to bed, they will find
the chilliness replaced by a warm, delicious
glow, amply saiislaetory for tho trouble. It
will also prove a preventive against taking
cold by having wet feet while walking.
