CUBA.—The Journal, published at Macon, Georgia, on Wednesday last had the following:
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of last week, some sixty or seventy men passed down the Macon and Western and Central roads, as far as Cassiday's—twenty miles this side of the Savannah. They seem to have gone thither under some misapprehension, as the whole force returned to this city on Sunday night. On Monday morning they took up the line of march on the Southwestern road. Their destination is entirely unknown; as their stories are somewhat conflicting and contradictory. We pretend not to say "what's in the wind," but would not be surprised to receive stirring news in a few days from California, St. Domingo, Cuba, or some other quarter of the globe.
