An infirmity of purpose is not my universal com- plaint, although it is shockingly so with General Pierce, his Cabinet, and his body guard. This és why I am here when I ought to be there—that is, en route for Mexico. Before I left on my extra- Ordinary mission I called to bid Frank good bye and get my papers. Frank cried and took on a good deal; but as crying is one of his amiable weaknesses, I don’t take it to heart much. He said he did not want me to go. I said I would go any how, as I had my trunk packed. “Well, Sam,” said he, “I never loved a tree or flower that didn’t——” “What didn’t ?” “You put me out,” says he. “Tt's me that’s putting out, Frank,” said I. “Pshaw! Sam, you've no sentiment—no poetry about you. You can’t comprehend me.” “Who the deuce can? Shall I go or shall I stay? ‘Wrait's the talk.” “<iot your $500, Sam?

Suffice it to say, that I had a pleasant and satisfactory time, wholly undisturbed by things or met, save and except the numerous railroad con- ductors, who would insist upon looking at_my tick- eta. At Wilmington, North Carolina, I laid over + one train. I was fagged out. The next day, when the traif reached Wilmington, 1 got in a way car vith a wh6le lot of other passengers going to Man- ‘téater. Just before the cars started, you may fancy ay amazoment when the conductor opened the door # the car which contained my precious self, and, ays he, ‘‘Gentiemen, there is a special messenger ome on to-day from Washington with despatches rom the President of the United States for a gentle- van that is supposed to be on board. Is there any ene of the name of Samuel Green, Junior, in this | car?” What could I do? Nothing less than rise in my seat, and reply: “Yes, sir, I am that individual.” | All eyes were turned upon me instanter. I was a focus. The conductor put; but hardly a moment elapsed before he returned, followed by—who do you think? Nobody else bat Sid. Webster. Then there | wasascene. He ordered the conductor not to move on with the train one inch further, under the pe- | nalty of forfeiting the mail contract. ‘“Sam., how do do?” saya Sid. “Glad I've found you; just read | that,” and he poked a letter at me. 1 opened and | read:— | Ware Hovse, April 23.

As I understand there are lots of beau tiful [ile gals off in the Carolinas, keep your eye on Sid. at the stopping places. “Well, Mr. Secretary,” says 1, when I read the ubove production, “T won't return until I get my frank.” That took an hour to find, in the six differ- ent baggage cars.

This being accomplished to the satisfaction of His Vice Serene Highness, who has not quite recovered from the terrible effort of castigation inflicted upon the universal Yankee nation and their President, Franklin Pierce, we turned upon the path of our religious duties, mingling and fraternizing with Christian humility with the vari-color- cd worshippeys that thronged the streets snd the temples of the Most High, until the General was entirely lost in the respectable crowd, and his own solemn convictions of his own littleness and insignificance—and I, in fear of equal oblivion, absolved myself from continuance of the dangerous association. It savored too much of the ‘“‘ga- rotte,’* of Africanization, colonization and apprenticeship. The religious proceedings commenced with the cruci- fixion of our Saviour, the forms of which and the nailing to the cross took place yesterday forenoon in the oldest church in Havana, the San Juan de Dios. In the after- noon the blessed image of the body was taken down, washed, robed, and placed upon a conseerated bier, which was embellished with an infinity of holy trappings, and at five o’clock carried into the street, borne upon the Ineads of some dozen emancipados, where it was received by a military escort, consisting of two companies of Gro- nadiers and a squadron of Lanceros, with two bands of stusic, muffled drums, &. The body was followed xt a “ It’s none of your business.” “T know it’s none of my business. I don’t bu: lottery tickets. Perhaps you don’t.

The known free thought and feelings of the party victimized probably induced he would be so obstinate in resistance. This game was also practised by the secret Spanish agents in New Or- leans, addressing a letter in cypher to ‘John Trasser,”’ under instructions from the office of the political secre- tary at Havana, in order that it might be found upon his person when the arrest was made which was in contem- by instructions; but they were defeated in the expects- tion of finding the convicting etter, which they hed from a cypher found in the Sema eer, ee ey ee oblige: a Ir.

The bustle of preparation for war, which I hear spoken of by many, is butan echo of Palace bluster, and has no foun- ation, for there is nothing to make tho fulcrum of the fever with which Spanish vanity would move the world. ‘The money is not there, and the Free Negro Slavoa’ Fand has not rolled up enough yet to attract the cupidity of the government, while Parisian bankers decline honoring the royal paper, having three years of millions outstand- ing. For this they have to wait the growth of Cuban stocks, or Cuban labor; and if the Queen shonid chance to have another soason for Spanish hope, lavish with Span- ish pride, to win a male “responsibility”? for the nation, then still they must wait. ‘Ascoming into the Punta gate yesterday, I was ran over by a crowd of di tain General, all having been on a tour of exploration and examination of the Castle Punta, the barracks con- necting with the town prison, and the mouldering walls of the city.
