End of the "Quitman Uxpedttion.
It is stated that at a meeting of the
Cuban Junta, held at New Orleans ou
the 2Gth ult., General John A. Quit
man handed in his resignation as com
mander in chief of the expedition which
has been so long organized against Cu
ba. All of the American officers who
held commissions in this Quitman army
have also resigned, and the cause of
Cuba is now in the Junta. Thus ends
the Quitman Expedition, an end which
it is alleged, they attribute to the deter
mined opposition ef President Pierce
and his cabinet.

Reveries of a Bachelor.
And here I am in the meridian of lifo,
Still dreaming on the felicities of a tidy
little wife;
Whose perfection to fill up my fastidi
ous bill,
Must make the very devil jealous and
lovt me to kill.
Thus with quibbles I've postponed
the matrimonial noose,
Until forty years by myself I've contin
ued to snooze;
My old denuded carpet is now no com
modity for glrfe,
Who have twisted and frizzled their
fastidious curls.
As for my "goatee" it is popular, "but
really I can t say,
jNo uoubt a few uCa'lifornias wvuld
give it more merit,
But not h iving the "rhino" I can't
pluck up with my spirit.
Then iny crows feet" arc as shrivelled
as an anticmated toad,
Aud would not please young misses in
the French a la mode;
Mothers advise roe more spirit, but
young America is out,
And "goes it like blazes" with "lots"
of hair under his snout .
Young "sprigs" in this fast age are the
pinks of perfection,
Who'd advise an old bachelor as a ju
dicious selection?
"O cracked I can't come it unless I
pile up the bodt,
And buy me a sweety from the matrimo
niai recruit;
With lavish, expenditures I might con
ciliato my dear,
As the "honey moon"- waned matters
- of firct would be clear;
"That fancy without cash, iu this' fast
"going age,
Is'a matter too palpable, without it to
" cugage."
Then dear Mr. Southerner I'd beg of
you alone,
To buy me a rib or as Adam would
say a "bone of my bone;"
So shove up your "premiums" and hand
over the dimes,
And you shall pledge a bumper to
Old Father Grimes.
