SOY aral of the New York papers deny the re? port that an expedition, composed of what is generally styled .'filibusters," has sailed from that port fox Cuba. Others, However, insist that such au expedition has certainly sailed, and give such minute details aa to leave the public to believe that there is truth ia the rumor. The New York Times says: Active secret enlistments of men for this ex? pedition have been going on in this city for some time past, and one or two drill-rooms have been open foi the purpose of drilling the recruits. A recruiting station or headquarters is said to have existed at No. 697 broadway, under the care sud supervision of an ex-officer of the Union armv, who claims that daring the rebellion he "pressed things" with Sheridan in the Valley. It is said that daring the ?ast two months this officer has recruited about four hundred and titty men, and the expedition which sailed ou the fourth wat composed of this force, and perhaps of others. The attention ot the authorities was directed by those having the management of affairs to the wrong ship. Reports were circulated to the effect that the steamer Arago bad departed for the West Indi9s with warliko intentions, and that sho carried about one thousand un n, together with an ample cargo of guns and car? tridges. Tho new United .Mates Marshal or? dered his subordinates to iuquire into tho mat? ter, and they ascert lined that tho Arago was cleared from the customhouse for St. Thomas, W. I., on Friday last, and that she subsequent anchored at Gravesend Bay. on the Long Inland coast, nine milos distant from the bat? tery, going from thence to sea on Monday, in? stead of the following day, as was announced in some of the morning journals. Her pilot was found by thc marshal's officer, and he stoutly contradicted the statement that there were men and arma ou board the M earner, pro? nouncing it f ilse in every particular. He was corroborated by another p lot, who was a wit? ness to the departure of the vessel. The tugboats Yankee and Philip, belonging to the Atlantic Submarine Wrcektog Company, were mentioned ia tho report as having con? veyed the troops on board the Arago. Cap? tain Hazard, of the former boat, was visited by oar reporter, and furnishes a new and au? thentic version of . the sailing of the expedi? tion. STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN HAZARD. He says that he was coming np the bay on Tuesday afternoon, wheo he was bailed by Mr. Walters, of the Wrecking Company, from the Battery, and told to go to the foot of Spring street, North Biver, and receive a cargo of pas? sengers. He accordingly did so, and found about seventy-live men ou tbe dock awaiting his arrival. They bad no baggage and were apparently very anxious to get away. The most of them talked Spanish, and behaved tn a manner calculated to excite suspicion. Alter they came on board, a man who a Med as tbeir leader requested the captain to pat them on board the steamer Pierrot, which was lying near Governor's Island. .Un the arrival of the tugboat at tho latter vessel a large assemblage of dark-complexion? ed men were discovered on her upper deck. About 125 of these wore brought there by the tux boat Yankee from tho foot of Eighth-street, North Biver. The steam tug Martha was also reported to have conveyed men on board, in? cluding the leaders of the expedition. She was seen lying alongside the Pierrot by Cap ' in Hazard. The commander ot' the steamer, ptain Georce Fletcher, in conversation with Captain Hazard, divulged to him the existence of a large c ruo of arms aad ammauitiou in tue bold of his vessel. He said that they were obtained from Governor's Island, and that he had them transferred oy a tugboat to hie ves Bel on Thursday last, the latter lying at Atlan? tic Basin, Brooklyn, at that time. Captain Hazard regarded ibis information as reliable. The organizer of <he expedition is represented to be General Domingo de Goisouria, who has devote*' his whole life to straggles for Cuban independence, besides engaging in numerous filibustering movements. In 1850 he fought a carnet the Spaniards wi? tter Lopez, and he afterward participated with Walker ia his raid on Nicatagua. He is de? scribed as a man of medium height, spare build, long grey beard and very dark and piercing eyes. After the Pierrot had received the men from tho tug boat Philip she weighed anchor and stood out to sea. It was intimated to Captain Lazard that abo would land her passengers somewhere along the Cuban oast, and that they would subsequently unite with the insurgents. He was not made cognizant of the fact, however, until it was too late to be of ase to the authorities here, ibo Pierrot, it is alleged, is owaed by Sf jJord, Tileston & Co., and ls regularly ruo between this city, Havana, New Orleans and Galveston. The Arago, wbich left on Monday, ia believed to be on her way to join a Peruvian squadron which H fitting out near New Orleans. She was formerly owned by the North American Steamship Company, but sold by them on the 26th of April to par? ties unknown, the company giving a bill of sale in blank. ACTION OP THE GOVERNMENT. The New York Sun has the following : While the Cuban patriots and the people of this city are Bending brave men and the sinews of war to aid in the work of consecrating Cuba to freedom, the authorities at Washington aro uBing their official strength to crush tbe pa? triots, and perpetuate the tyranny of Spain in Cuba. We learn that the Spanish minister has been assured that United States vessels shall be sent to interoept the expeditions, and that revenue cutters have sailed for that parp?se. A revenue cutter sailed from the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Saturday to head off aa expedition which is to sad from the Florida coast. The Spanish minister has also received assurances from Secretary Fish, that Umted States vessels are cruising off tbe mooth of the Mississippi and on tbe Florida coast, for the purpose of seizing every craft wbioh shall attempt to bear material aid to the patriots. TBXRTX GUNBOATS EOE bPAIN. The government bas knowledge of the bnild ing of thirty powerful gunboats in New York, Boston and Canada, for Spain. These vessels are to cost six millions of dollars iu gold. All these vessels axe to be finished by tho 1st of Jone, and sent to Havana, where they are to be 'mounted." THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

What damage was done to the crop wo cannot tell; but some fumers say that part of their cotton bas died since, and as they suppose, io conse? quence of the frost. Wo do not think, how? ever, that the damage wasgieat, as tbe frost was not heavy enough to do much injury." Greenville. Tho Mountaineer of the 6th says : "On last Mondav and Tuesday moruinga there were light frosts visible in tbis section. The oldest in? habitants can barely remember having seen a frost so late in the .?ea.-on before. Slight damage, if any, has occurred." Lancaster. * The Ledger of the 6th says : ' Frost made its appearance in several sections of this county on Monday and Tuesday mornings list." -Tho people of San Francisco and Sacra? mento are in a etata of feverish excitement ia regard to the completion of cbc Pacific railroad.

The Board exp- n<led du ing the last year $3o00, in carrying forward its work. An opportunity was thenoffezed tba Trusi of the Southern Ihoological Seminary to m a statement of tho condition of that institut On this subject tho. convention was bri addressed by Key. Dr. Jeter, of Virginii trustee. Rev. Dr. Boyce, of South Carolina, Presid of the Seminary, then addressed tho com tion, and gave ? flattering account of the pi pects of tho institution. He said tnere not now, in his mind, a shadow of doubt of success. Thc institution, which had been some time b?rdend with debt, was now h pi ly nearly freo of debt; that th ero were at | sent forty-six students connected with seminary," a largor number than were at pres cflinccied with any Baptist theological sc wary in thc UtTitcd States. This largo nam of students, he said, had in part boon seem oy ibo low price itt which they had boen able put thc rate of board to the studcuts-that pr being but $8 20 per mouth. Dr. Boyce co piimentcd the State of Virginia, for the no part she, impoverished as Bbc was, had tali in sustaining tbe institution. Notwithst.u ing, bc said, that the brethren iu Virginia 1: raiBed over $100,000 for thc endowment ol baptist institution m that State, she had cc tributed some $10.000 in bonds to Hie semuii at Greenville, probably surpassing the cont butions to this object of any otber state. T iustitution ncedci a library, and the brethi ouuiitto sec to it that tho students bc st plied. The institution needed still more flint which bc hoped would be secured at this me Kev. Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, then addrci ed tho convention at length in behalf of t seminary. Rev. Dr. Poindexter made a stiiring appi to the convention in behalf of the institution, Rev. Charles Manly, of Alabama, sou of t late Rev. Baeil Manly, D. D., a .raduate of t seminary, announced to the* convention tb the library ol his father, in accordance with 1 father's intention, would, in tho course of t year, be turned over to the Theological Sen narv at Greenville. Other addresses and appeals were made, ai an opportunity afforded to raise subscriptio to tho endowment of the institution. B spouses were liberally made from individu members of churches, North as well as Sou t and from churches. A proposition had bei male at Baltimore last year to raise $40,000 $500 bonds, making in all 80 bonds. Fifty these bonds hod been taken at Baltimore, ai as tho payment of the coupous ot tbe Ban were conditioned on tbe taking of the who 80, tho effort was made to raise the 50 additto: al, all of which were raised except two. Othi subscriptions were takon, the whole amouu ing to $15,400. after Borne announcements, the conventic adjourned till half-past three o'clock P. M. AFTEBNOOX SESSION.

Before tho lato war, (Southern masters, (with few exceptions, and these ma lo most odious by the common in? stinctive verdict ol our entire native laud ) were friendo o? the negro, and whatever Changos the war brought, he tuoulU not be hold accountable lor them. As I hose lowborn we once sustained most close and solemn relations, these people should now be regarded as having peculiar claims upon us. I he colored people are exceedingly dis? posed to lohfiious excitement, and ure, there? fore, alarmingly exposed to the artifices of lun? atics and demagogues. Preachers they will .have. Already they are beginning to op-n their eves to designing men from the Roath us well as'the North, who have crept in among them to preach Christ not of sincerity. Otu love lor our country, aud our allegiance to truth, encourage us to feel that wc nave conic into Christ's Kingdom for a niuo liku this. All summon us to send missionaries iutu tho fi.-id which ii at our doora, io nrmcli tho enemy is so busy ?owing weeds, and from which our contributions and toil most reap a blessed harvest. Before concladiug lin's report m would sug g?-t to i he body that they instruct tho board to avail theni-selves of any opening wbich the head of the church may provide for giving sound theological instruction to the colored men who may desire to enter the ministry. In the present organization of the South there must ari'pe a class ot >uch preachers. Tho members of this convention well know the zeal and ability with which somo of them ministered in former days; and if the relierions education of thia large element of oar pc pulation be desira? ble, it is fir more important that, in religious faith and doctrine, these should be enlightened and cultivated, who, as teachers, are to exer? cise their influence on the minds and hearts and consciences of the millions allied to them by a common origin and color. (Signed) E. FULLER, Chairman. . In support of the recommendation in relation to the religious instruction of the colored peo? ple, Rev. Dr. Samson and Rev. Dr. Curry made addresses. They both thought the recom? mendation contained in the report to bo just, and demanded attention ut tho bands of the convention. In the course of his remarks, Dr. Curry stated that he had un ier.tood from tho remarks of Dr. Samson that there woro now about twenty or thirty colored persons in Rome being educated to be Roman Catholic priests, and to come and labor among the colored peo? ple of this country. Dr. Samson explained that there wero thirty of that cbs.- some time ago. Ho thought lhere must t>e now not less tbun one hundred. Rev. Mr. Morgan, of England, who has been for some months travelling in this coun tay, expressed tho interest which ho bad felt in travelling over the country. He had been in? cline I to sav, like thc Queen of Sheba, the half had not been told bim. He expressed the deep interest which he felt in tho elevation of the four millions of colored people in the land, and desired that the convention express, by reso? lution, their feelings on that subject. He wanto J tho convention to express, by reso? lution, whether they desired aid ( which ha thought they could get) ni tho elevation nnd education of the colored poopk, or whether they intended to do all for them themselves. Rev. J. Culpeper, ot South Carolina, spoke in opposition to the spirit of Rev. Mr. Mor? gan's remarks. He advocated tho religious in stiuction of the colored people, but thought that great injury had been done them by the political preachers who had come in to preach among them tor tbe sake of filthy lucre, or for tho promotion of their political aims. The report drew forth an interesting discus? sion from Rev. Drs. Poindextei, Winkler, Reynolds, and Dargan. All of these ministers expressed themselves strongly in favor of edu? cating, religiously, tho colored people, but bore strong tot timony against the influence of the n -w comers to leach the negroes politics as nell as religion. Rev. M. J. Wellborn, of Georgia, thanked God for the report. He regarded it as the work of God working in the hearts o? tbe brethren. After some remarks by Rev. Mr. Williams, Hon. D. A. Vason, of Georgia, offered the fol? lowing resol .tions: Besotted, That we recognize as oar highest duty to engage immediately in the work of sending the Gospel ot Christ to the colored people within out bounds, and for tbat purpose it is Resolved, That a committee of five members of the Baptist Church bc appointed for each Slate represented in this body, who shall be clothed with full power and authority to take such .steps as may be necessary to accomplish that object. Resolved, That such committees shall be aux ha? y to the dome-tic board ot this body, Judge Vason made somo forcible remarks on the intioduciiou of his resolutions, in favor of placing the educitiun of the colored people nuder tho ca e of Soul h.'rn Christians. Un motion, the roport together with thc res? olutions of Judge Vason, were i ecommitted to tho special committee, to wuich the names of Vason, Jo cr and Williams were added. The Committee on Proachiug aubmittod tboir report, which was referred, and the con? vention thou adjourned. lu the evening a mass meeting of the friends of domostic missions wau held, at which interesting addresses were delivered and a collection taken up. [Tho above is condensed somewhat feo ut tho full and Mo report of the proceed? ings of the convention published lu tho Macon Journal and .Messenger.-ED. MEWS.] -The Washington National Intelligencer makes the following quasi official announce? ment: "The President does not deem it pru? dent at present to take any official notice ot Cuban affairs. Tbe govornment has not been officially notified of the troubles there ID a manner to require any other interference than such as may be necessary to protect american citizens and interests, and keep well iiJbrmed as to the progress of events. These things General Grant has no doubt provided for, al? though he may not deem it wise to impart all the information bo bas in bis poisesjion to tho public through tbe press. He is not indiffer? ent to the patriotic desires of- tho insurgents, nor the commercial advantages that would re? sult both to Cuba and to this country from an? nexation; but while affairs remaiu iu their present position in Spain be does not see bow we can in honor lend aid and comfort to the in-, Bingen ts ol Cuba. It is most likely th it should the Cuban Republicans achieve their indepen? dence and apply for annexation to ihisconntry, the President would act promptly and do all in his power consistent with honor to comply with the requost." - It is said that when Lord Byron sent to his w.fe the well known touching lines "Fare thee well I And, if forever, Still, lorcver fare thee well 1" be enclosed in tho samo envelope a butcher's bill, with tho pencilled remark: "Please look over this; I don't think we nod so much meat."
