Affairs in Havana.
We conversed yesterday with a gentle-
man who came passenger hr the schooner
Woodbndge from Gardenas. He informs
ns that the sugar and coffee Crops in the Is
land ale remarkably fine, and that fruit
will be abundant. Business, however, is
not as brisk as usual, in consequence of the
apprehended difficulties. Prices in the
leading articles remained unchanged.
Our informant had ample opportufiities
of ascertaining the state of feeling in the Is-
,* H c sa y s . *-Hat, in Havana, nearly all
the old Spaniards are openly opposed to
any change of government, and are free
the expression of their opinions. They con
fidentiy anticipate an attack, and are pre
paring for it. The system of espionage is
carefully kept up, so that it is almost im
possible for a persen to utter a word agaibst
the government without being reported and
punished. .
Some of the Creoles with whom he con
versed are disheartened, and are preparing
to close their business and leave the Island.
Others are. evidently nursing their wrath,
and living in hope that the day of retribu
tion will soon come. . It was impossible for
him to ascertain the extent of the disaffec
tion, but he feels confident that it must ex
ist mainly in the country districts, or among
classes in Havana who are afraid to make
the slightest demonstration.
The most ridiculous stories are carefully
circulated for the purpose of exasperating
the people. Our informant conversed with
an Italian, a sculptor, who stated that the
most reliable information had been received
there, in regard to the order of the Lone
Star. He affirmed that the arrangements
for the expedition were far advanced, and
that in order to obtain funds,- the estates
and property of well known men of wealth,
had actually been up and sold at auction to
the highest bidder. His own estate, he de
clared had heed sold for $50 !! Such stories
will only create a smile in this country, but
there are hundreds of honest Cubans who
believe them.
Our informant states, that there wai
scarcely any excitement in Havana, in re-
gaid to the Cuban affair. The authorities
and people honestly believed, that Purser
Smith was the medium of communication
between the revolutionists in the Island and
ip this country, and no oDe seemed to ques
tion the right to exclude the Crescent City
for that reason. The question is a very nice
and delicate one, and we have no doubt will
be properly considered and determined by
the administration- For our own part, we
think Spain is wrong and ought to be pun
ished. r
The Woodbridge, we regret to say,

ters that we couid hear o^ except such as
ore of a strictly private nature.—Savannah

a perceptible change in the temperature of

S, tal -A ec6unt?r took P ,aceat Germans
ville, Florida, on the 20th ult., which resul-
ted in the death of Grorge W. Stewart,
son of Col. Daniel Stewart, formerly of
Liberty county, in -this State. It appears
that a man named Stephens, the overseer of
Airs. Stewart, had some difficulty on the
^plantation when she sent for her sons
George and Charles, who. lived in Colum-
, bm county,^Florida Previous to their Ar
rival Stephens left the plantation, and haw
mg been informed of their intended visit
armed himself with a six-barreled revolving
pistd, and, it is said, sent word to George
^.Stewart, that he would meet him at
NewnanviJIe the next day, Saturday. Stew-
art went to that place in the morning, and
waited all day, but Stephens not making his
.appearance, he left the town. Oh Monday,
both George and Charles Stewart returned
to Newnanvi le, where they remained until
about 3 o clok. While George Stewart was
m a store, he was informed that Stephens
was m town. _ Stewart stepped out of the
store on the piazza, when he saw Stephens
standing about fifteen feet from him, in
the street. Stewart addressed Stephens, sav
mg he wished to have some conversation
with him. Stephens replied that Stewart
must first explain himself &c. Stewart
then said. Are you armed?” Stephens re
plied that he was, and both parties drew
pistols. Stephens fired two shots without
effect, when Stewart fired his single-barrel
ed pistol, also without effect. By this time
several friends of Stewart ’had arrived oi*
the spot, when his brother Charles fired ;
pistol at Stephens, but missed him. Georim
Stewart, dicing without arms, then said,
*or God s sake give me a gun or a pistol
—he has a revolverar.d as he spoke, be
started across the street, apparently for the
store, perhaps to procure arms, and when
he came opposite to Stephens, about twelve
feet from him, Stephens fired again, the ball
penetrating his left side. Stewart was iiior
tally wounded, and died inabout two hours.
An attempt was made to

but he was not taken.—Sovannah News.

quirer answers the question, whether there
any establishment in Europe comparable
to Stewarl’s, as follows:—“We answer, un
hesitatingly, No. The civilized world can
boast of no similar establishment—of none
liich begins, even, to compare with it in
beauty of structure, in extent, in the varie
ty and costliness of its wares, or in the a-
mount its sales. It is, in its wav, the won

New York should fail to visit this business
palace of a merchant prince, the sales with

to nearly three hundred clerks and book-
keepers-—and which boasts a system so per
feet, under the direction of one master mind*
that its vast affairs are conducted with as
much regularity as an ordinary retail shop
which employs only a couple of clerks.
The Arctic Expedition.—A despatch
from Aberdeen, Thursday evening, says the
Prince Albert has arrived, bringing ng, ac
counts of Sir John Franklin. Shh wintered
in Baffin’s Bay, searched Prince-Regent’s
Inlet, discovered a channel to the west of
North Somerset, traversed it with sledges,
and round by Port Leopold, but found no
traces of the missing expedition. The Prince
Albert got as far north as Beechy Head.
On the 19th of August last, she fell in with
the "“North Star.” The expedition had pass
ed up Wellington Channel early in the
season. The channel was open and quite
free from ice. The Prince Albert left the
ice on the 23d of August, and brings des
patches from the North Star. The officers
and crew were all well. The Davis’s Straits
Fishery was a failure.
T. S M Bloodworlh, of Pike,
During the Session there was consider
able discussion relative to the propriety of
recommending legislative action touching
the present License system. The Commit
tee to whom the subject was refered, repor
ted in favor of a recommendation to the
Legislature so to alter the License law, as
to make the granting of a license depend
upon a vote of a majority of tho people in
the vincinity, first had and obtained by the
applicant, which report was passed by a
decisive vote.
The Finance Committee reported in favor
of reduci ng the expenses of the Grand Di
vision, and abolishing its Semi-annual Ses
sions which was adopted.
President Fillmore.—We see it stated
that as an appropriate mark of respect for
the President of the United States, a num
her of geRtlemen, Senators, members of
Congress; Judges of the Supreme Court
and citizen? of both political parties, have
employed Air. D. Stone to execute a bust,
in pure Italian marble, of Mr. Fillmore,
with tlie design of having it placed perma
nently in the Presidential Mansion. It is to
be regretted that likenesses of all the Presi
dents have not been preserved in the same
manner.
Judge Sharkey, U. S. Consul at Ha
vana, has been for some "weeks at his plant
ation in Mississippi. When he left Cuba
for a flying visit home, there were no symp
toms of any movement by the authorise
which would cal! for any extraordinary in
terposition on his part. The N. Q. Pica
yune learns from a gentleman who was pre
sent when the Judge received the first news
of the late occurrences, that be instantly
determined to get ready to return to his
post, and may be expected to take passage
on the earliest steamer for Havana.
M3T The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel
has raised the names of both Fillmore and
Crittenden, in place of that bf Webster.
The Macon Journal & Messenger keeps
up the Webster ticket, urging its friends to
vote it in order to defeat the Democratic
ticket, and leaves it optional with the can
didates, if elected, to vote for Crittenden or
Fillmore.
That is a heavy responsibility you have
thrown on your electoral candidates friend
Journal, seeing that the contingency of
an election is so likely. We hear of Webster
men .deserting and going over to Scott.
j£2T The Hon. J. M., Berrien has come
out in a letter in favor of Gen. Scott. He
does not consider that Gen. Scott is made
of the material to be influenced by Seward

Murder Case.—The Cheraw (S. C.)
Gazette says that at the Marlboro’s Court
there was but one case of importance, the
State vs. L. A. Stubbs, for the murder of a
negro. The prisoner was defended by
Messrs. Thornwell and Ing!is,.who did eve-
rything in his behalf, that learning, perse
verance and eloquence could effect, but of
no avail—a verdict of guilty was rendered
by the Jury. He was sentenced to be hung
oh the first Friday in January next.
Ballrdads and Animals.
“Judge Wilson of Maryland, has decided
that Railroad Companies are not only ex
empt from^amage for cattle killed pr in
jured on tfflar roads, but that the owners of
such animals are responsible for injuries
done to the cars and for the detention.
Persons living contiguous to -the lines of
railroads would do well to remember this
decision.”
We quote the above from an exchange
paper. It is a proof that correct sentiments
are beginning to prevail. There have been
repeated decisions to the same effect, and
the present statute of Georgia, submitted to
a fair test, would be pronounced unconsti
tutional. We think it about time that if
animals are to be paid for in Georgia on
roads where the right of way has already
been procured, the damage done to hu
man life and valuable property, such as lo
comotives, cars, &e., should be paid for too.
This is a fair stand off. If the bull gores
the engine, let the mutual injary be adjust
ed and settled on fair principles. The far
mers of Georgia, ought; to accustom them
selves to take a correct view of this.matter.
1 hey are sufficiently benefitted by railroads
without being paid when the balance of
the damage is so much against them.—Sav
Rep.
Judge Wilson’s exposition of. law .will,
we imagine, never obtain in Georgia, at
least for a while, and the cattle owners a-
long the line of Railroads, will go on seek-
ing payment for the destruction of their
property, without ever imagining that they
are liable to pay for damages to engines,
cars, &c. The farmers may accustom
themselves to think upon the suggestions
of the Republican, and if our Constitution
does not permit Rail roads to be tmmeled
by the rights of property, the sooner they
get into that custom of thinking the better
for them. Railroads are a great benefit to
farmers, no doubt, and our observation leads
us to believe that farmers-are a great bene
fit to Railroads.

The regular annual communication of the
Grand Lodge of this State, was held in Ma
con the past week commencing on Tuesday,
D. G. M. Rockwell presiding, G. M. Wm,
C. Dawson being absent.
There were 150 delegates in attendance
as the members of Lodges within its juris

sion the Citizen says:
Among the matters #f business transact

and upwards, with a view to the permanent
establishment of a Female Seminary, of a
high class, under the auspices of the order,
is not the least interesting to tbe public.
The Grand Lodge appoints 21 Trustees and
has a controlling voice in the selection of tbe
Faculty of the Institution. Tbe offer of the
owners of the College property was a liberal
one, and we are glad to hear, after an able
speech from Dr. A. Means, that it was unan
imously accepted, the event is, we hope
an important epoch in the annals of Geor
gia Masonry and the beginning of a new
and progressive era with the time honored
institution in behalf of the most noble of

On ihursday an election of officers was
held for the next Masonic year, and resulted
in the choice of all the old officers, with, we

Last Hours of Mr- Webster.
During the afternoon of Saturday Mr.
Webster conversed freely, and with great
calmness and detail, in relation to the dis
posal of his private affaiis. He gave full
directions in relation to his farms, giving the
most minute statement of bis wishes in re
gard to them*
At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, he was
seized with a violent nausea, and raised
considerable dark, matter tinged with blood
which left him in a state of great exhaustion
and debility.
Tbe physicians in attendance then an
nounced to Mr. Webster that bis last hour
was rapidly approaching. He received the
announcement calmly and directed all the
females of the family to be called in, to each
of whom he addressed individually a few
affectionate parting words, and bid them a
final farewell. He then took his leave of
his male relations and persona! friends, ad-
diesaing each of them individually, referring
to past relations, and bade each an affection
ate" farewell.
The last of his-family that he parted with
was Peter Harvey Webster, (a grand son;)
upon whom be"asked the richest blessings
ot Heaven. He then said, as if speaking
to himself, “On the 24th of October,, ah
that is mortal of Daniel Webster will be
more.”
Mr. Webster then prayed, in a full and
clear \oice, most fervently and impressively
concluding as follows:

Dr» Jeffries then conversed with him, and
told him that medical skill could do nothing
more; to which Mr. Webster replied .’
“Tlidn I am to lie here patiently till the

After 10 o’clock on Saturday night Mr.
Webster occasionally conversed, as. if to sat
isfy his friends that his mind was still free,
and that all his mental faculties remained
unimpaired.
The vomitings of Mr. Webster whieh first
excited alarm, commenced on Thursday af-
