He would not hire spies to to enter the bosom of happy families—he would not kill on suspicion! He, too, was recalled, and Alcoy came! Then clouds—red as blood and dark as the beginning of a storm when day closes —arose over the people of Cuba. The burdens of the people w r ere never felt till then! And did they murmur, a hired spy was near to catch each word! Every sigh they breathed—a threat, whispered between closed and grating teeth, was reported :—and what followed ? Death or exile, and confiscation of property—the garotte, a vol ley of musketry, or a rapid flight dfom the land of their birth ! Yet, why do I wander from my own history—it is brief, and I will not trouble you long. When Alcoy came, my hoy, Castello, was eleven years of age. My wife was beauti ful, though a matron. My overseer died, and I employed a new one, who »me well recom mended, even as a gentleman whom proveity forced to ask for such a situation. Regarding poverty as a misfortune rather than as a crime, 1 treated him as a gentleman, and as a f riend. — That man was a spy of Alcoy 7 s ! Not a word passed from my lips—not a murmur at injustice did I utter that he did not record, and send to his master, as I afterwards learned ! One night,— never shall I forget, for my poor was lying low with a fever, on a couch from which she nev er rose—a merchant from New York whose ves sel lay in the harbor ofMatauzas, was my guest. He came to arrange for the purchase of my crop —and while entertaining him, I made remarks contrasting the freedom of his government with the tyranny of that under which I suffered. My overseer was present, and marked t-very word. When my guest had retired for the night, I has tened to the side of my sick wife ! It was the last time I ever saw her. After we had left him, the overseer mounted my best horse, and rode full speed to Matanzas, to report to the Governor all that I had said. It was nearly morning, and still I sat by the side of my suffering wife. Suddenly a faithful servant rushed into the room, and told me that the overseer and a guard of soldiers were riding toward, the house. In an instant I knew all— compehended my danger, and so did my angel wife! “ Fly, my amore !” she cried; "it will he death if they seize you. 77 a I cannot, leave you !” was my reply. “ They will not harm me, 77 she answered— i: go, I will get well, and with our boy will fol 4ow ! 77 I kissed my hoy, and prepared to fly.— How to go was the next question. My friend had his boat and crew in the river. I hastily awoke him, stated the facts, and, as our foes en tered the house, we left it by a hack entrance, gained the boat, and in three hours I was safe in his vessel. Hastily we sailed, and soon arrived at the great city of your Republic. Oh! how anxiously did I await for news from my home. When it came, it was terrible! Death had not such terrors. My hoy was killed that night by a soldier, because he would not tell him which way I had gone, or reply to his insolent questions.— Within three days my wife was in her grave. A price was placed on my head—my estate confis cated, I registered as a traitor, and all this merely because I murmured against injustice and wrong. I am here —widowed, childless, poor, wretched ! And, because, with a few brave, chivalrous noble men, I desire to return and free my fellow Cu bans from chains, I learn that I am considered a robber and a pirate. I forbear to comment on tins! Though the land wherein I have sought refuge, casts this stigma upon me, I will not com plain, hut, biding that time, when might will yield to right, when Cuba will be free. Remain the “ Exile. 77 New Orleans, May 21. [From the N. Y. Saturday Times.] Temperance Lectures. These discourses are ol several kinds—eloquent common place and humorous. It was our privilege to hear last summer, in the vicinity of Horseneck, a village situated on the Sound, a temperance lec ture which belonged to the latter category, al though we are at this moment in doubt wheth er its humor was intentional or accidental. The “orator of the day 77 was a long, shingle sided New Englander, with a face that was all angles in its outline —just as if nature had whittled it out with a dull jack-knife, and had lacked the necessary fragment of glass or scrap of sand paper to round off the corners. The location was not the most favorable one in the world for the glorification of water, being on the edge of a stagnant pool, bear ing upon its surface a coating of filth and feculence which looked like the cicatrix of a healing ulcer. We phonogrophised the oration, and here it is ver batim: Feller Men —l desire to say there’s no safe ty in moderate drinking. When vice takes a start it does’ent often stop half-way, but gener ally goes on continually vicey worser. Whiskey will whisk ye oft’ before you know it; brandy will brand ye with disgrace; the commonist gin is a snare to the feet of the unwary, and even hydro £-m and oxy gin is destructive to human life, except when jined, in the form of water: in fact, feller men, no gin ought to he used except the cotton-gin. If the still-men were all destroyed we should have quiet in the land. Thousands are brought to an early bier by the brewers, and a little more grape is the death of many Captain Braggs. The grain and fruits of the earth were not intended to have the liquor wormed out of ’em, 7 and it is a mistake to suppose that the con tents of the Horn of Plenty should be converted into plenty of horns. Every Jack must have his gill, the proverb says; hut there is no reason to believe it means a gill of apple-jack. Never drink rum to drown reflection—you had better drown it in water, by jumping off the dock. If your inclinations should get such a command over your legs, as to carry them to a porter house door, pause, think, reason with yourself—you will then put dow n the fatal cup, and go off with rec tified spirit. Try—should you ever he tempted to imbibe forbidden flooids—not to persevere in ill doing; for Shakespere says, and I believe it, that the eighth glass shows you many more. There fore, feller men, beware of the eighth glass. Drunkenness, feller men, is the official guide to poverty and the devil. The temperance man re deems his pledge —hut the drunkard seldom gets his watch out of pawn. If he has any jewels they go the same way, and the carbuncles which he gets instead of 7 em are neither so ornamental nor so’valooble as those you read about in the 7 Rabian Nights. Don’t for massy’s sake, take your bitters in the morning before breakfast—if you du, it will soon be all day with you. But, as I said before, I go for total abstemiousness— which means, as you are aware, the total absence of steam. Look, feller men, at that tempting sheet of water —[pointing to the scabby pool] that is your naterul element. [Here a percepti ble twinge ran through the convocation.] What says Isaiah? You that thirst, come ye to the waters and drink free gratis for nothing. Think, feller men, how much cheaper it is to drink wa ter than alkihol—and water’s a liquor that no man hankers arter, which is not the case with the latter. Do you ’spose that if the rock Moses smote with his pick had spouted hot whiskey punch, the children cf Israel would ever have been satisfied ? Never, my fellow men. I know it by personal ex—l mean I know it by many excrooshiating scenes that I have personally wit nessed. Feller men, I have nothing more to add, ex cept that the hat is going round for the good of the cause, and however much you may drop in, it will not be a drop too much. A Ride to Tennessee. In company with a very large number of ladies and gentleman, we left Dalton on Monday last, to visit the beautiful little village of Cleveland, Tenn., for the first time byway of Railroad. The two splendid passenger cars belonging to the East Tennessee Road, and their fine new loco motive, presented a very fine appearance. With such cars and on such a road, it is a pleasure to travel. We passed the time off very pleasantly be tween this city and Cleverland, in conversing with our Tennessee neighbors, with whom we were very much pleased. Among the distin guished personages from Tennessee, we were in* troduced to Gen. Trousdale, now Governor of Tennessee, and the Democratic candidate for re election. He is quite a plain looking man, but very intelligent, he is very courteous in his man ners and makes friends in every crowd. We be lieve that he will again be Governor of Tennes see. We had the pleasure of an introduction to Col. Anderson, another distinguished gentleman from Tennessee. We were very much pleased with the Col. and believe him to be fully qualifi ed to fill a seat in Congress, for which he is now a candidate! At about 11 o’clock we arrived in Cleveland, where after partaking of a good substantial din ner, we were favored with a speech from Gov. Trousdale. We have not time to notice the ar gument, but can say that we were very much pleased with the greater part of it, as we believe was a majority of the very large assembly pre sent.—Dalton Times , 2 6th inst.

Shooting. —By way oi variety two shooting affairs haveV:ome off in the streets of our city, re cently. On Friday the 13th inst., Mr. Samuel* Oldfield was shot in the neck by Mr. Henry A. Redding. The alleged provocation, was an insult offered by the former to *he family of the latter. On Monday, the 16th inst., Mr. Redding was twice fired at from the house of Mr. Oldfield, and wounded in the arm. One of the shots also se verely wounded a across the street. Anoth er passed through the door of Mrs. Mansker’s house, endangering the inmates. Mr. Oldfield denies having fired at Mr. R., and it is not known, who the party was, w'ho perpetrated the act. Street fights seem of late to be the fashionable amusement; an amusement however to w T hich there would perhaps be less objection, were not innocent parties placed in jeopardy. We would suggest that timely warning be given when the next one comes off.— Baton Rouge {La.) Adver tiser, Idtk inst. Confusion and Terror in a Theatre in Al bany.—Some actors were playing '‘Hamlet.’’— In the scene where tw'o grave diggers were at work, Wyman the ventriloquist, bethought him self of a little fun for his friends. The skull which is 4hrwon out of the grave is taken up by ‘•Hamlet,'’ who soliloquises thus: "Alas, poor Yoriclc—” Wyman, dexterously throwing his voice into the skull, exclaims “I ain’t Yorick!” The start led tragedian hesitates—turns pale—but con tinues: “I knew him well—” “No you didn’t neither!’’ put in Wyman. This time the skull fell from the hands of the terrified actor, and rolled towards the foot lights —the audience bursting in a general roar of laughter, at the grimaces and cotortions of the poor fellow without really knowing the cause of his discomfiture, He stares at the rolling skull, trembles and looks much paler than before, but after a while, in a measure, he recovers himself sufficient to make a desperate effort to join in the laugh, but evidently a decided failure in the at tempt. After another effort at fortifying him self, he takes courage and proceeds to pick up the skull again, but as he lays his hand upon it Wy man in a sepuicheral tone cries out, ‘"Go away— don’t touch me!,’ The amazed actor again starts back, and the laughter among the audience was not so general—it begins to look serious, and they entertain superstitious notions about it," which is more strikingly developed as Wyman begins a coarse guttural ha! ha! ha! laugh among them,' indifferent parts of the pit and behind thescnesj which occasions a perfect stampede among the ; actors and audience, who make a grand rush for i the door. The absent manager at this moment rushes j in, cries “Hold! and pointing up to the smiling | phiz and roguish sparkling eyes of Wyman, who | sat in a private box, complacently looking on I the confusion and terror he had occasioned— “ Gentleman, it is only Wyman, the Ventrilo quist.” The mystery was at once solved. Three cheers for Wyman, cries the multitude, which were given and gracefully acknowledged by the Wizard, and the play proceeded, much to the satisfaction of those whose courage was put to the test by this queer genius.— Albany Express. The early days of Quakerism.— Hepworth Dickson, in his Life of Wm. Penn, recently pub lished by the Harpers, gives the following ac count of the early days of Quakerism: “In an age of anarchy, when men were run ning to and fro in search of a revelation, a doc trine like this naturally attracted to itself many of the more restless and dissatisfied spirits; and as each of these added to its dogmas his own pecu liar vagaries and oddities, the followers of George Fox, or the Children ol Light, as they called themselves, were for several years only known to the general religious world by the extrava gance of their behavior—an extravagance which, in many cases, amounted to a real insanity. En tering and disturbing churches and dissenting congregations in the manner of their master was the most innocent mode of displaying their new born zeal. This they considerded a sacred duty; and they performed it not only in England, where their tenets were understood, but in foreign towns and cities, very much at their personal peril. Divers persons among them were moved of the spirit to do things—some fantastical, some indecent, some monstrous. “One woman went into the House of Parlia ment, with a trenchard on her head, to denounce the Lord Protector, and before the face of his government dashed the trenchard into pieces, saying aloud, ‘Thus shall he be broken in pieces.’ One Sarah Goldsmith went about the city in a coat of sackcloth, her hair dishevelled, and her head covered with dust, to testifiy, as she said, against pride. James Naylor gave himself out as the Messiah; and a woman named Dorcas Ebery made oath before the judges that she had been dead two days, and was raised again to life by this imposter. Gilbert Latye, a man of pro perty and education, going with LordJOberry in to the Queen’s private chapel, was moved to stand up on one of the side altars, and inveigh against Popery to the astonished worshippers. One Bolomon|Eccles went through the streets naked above the waist, with a chafing dish of coals and burning brimstone on his head, in which state he entered a Popish chapel, and de nounced the Lord’s vengeance against idolaters. William Sympson, says, Fox, who never did these things himself was moved to go, at several times, for three years, naked and barefooted, in markets, courts, towns, and cities—to priests’ and great men’s houses, as a sign that they should be stripped naked, even as he was stripped naked. There seemed to be a general emulation as to who should outstrip the rest, and many persons went about the streets in the nudity of Nature. Most of the zealots, however, kept to the decencies of a sackcloth dress; and, with their faces besmeered with grease and dirt, they would parade about the parks and public places, calling to the people as they passed that in like manner would all their religions be besmeared. One fellow, who seemed to have had more of purpose in his madness than the others, went to West minister with adarwn sword in his hand, and, as ; the representatives came down to the house, he thrust at and wounded several before he could j be arrested. On being asked by the Speaker why he had done this, he replied that he had been inspired by the Holy Ghost to kill every man who sat in Parliament. No wonder that the prisons were crowded with Quakers, as they were with enthusiasts and innovators of every other kind!” A\JGVBTA~GA. SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 29. For Governor. Charles j. McDonald. CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. The Convention to nominate a Southern Rights Candidate for the Eighth Congres sional District, will be held in this City on SATURDAY, the 12th day of JULY. to Advertisers.—’Our advertising friends will pleaso hand in their favors by 5 o’clock, P. M. hereafter—the recent change in the time of arrival of the mail, inducing us to close our adver tising colums earlier than heretofore. Mr. Cobb’s Letter of Acceptance. In our brief comments, yesterday, on this dis ingenuous production, we omitted some points which it will not be proper for us to pass altogether unnoticed. The letter is a tissue of unfairness. It is a stuied effort to lead the pop ular mind away from the true issues before them, and bring up again an issue already passed upon and definitely disposed of by the State of Geor gia: The following is the second paragraph, por tions of which we have italicised : “ The resolutions adopted by your Convention, present in distinct terms to the people of the State, an issue involving the peace and repose of the country, if not the very existence of the L nion. No ouc| can over-estimate the importance of the decision which is to be pronounced by the peo ple upon it, and it is only i* a due estimate of the consequences dependent upon the result, that we can look for a judgment worthy of the intelli gence and patriotism of our fellow-citizens.” What issue is here meant * Evidently, shall the State of Georgia acquiesce in the Compromise measures, or shall it resist them, or in other words, secede from the Union ? To this we reply, that this issue is twt now be fore the people. Their decision has already been pronounced upon it. It was pronounced in an imposing and authoritative manner in Conven tion in December last. Whether that decision was “ wise, just, and enlightened,” is another matter. It is a point on which men may hon estly differ, and do differ, and in a free country may fearlessly express their opinions. Time has yet to prove the wisdom of the decision, for it is yet to be proved that it has purchased for us immunity and protection from further assail ment of our rights—our property and our feel - ings. But the decision is made. It is the law of the sovereign will of Georgia, and no move ment is on foot to disturb it. Gov. McDonald, the competitor of Mr. Cobb, declares in his letter of acceptance, that “ it ought not to be disturbed .” Next comes the following: “ The universal sentiment of approval which greeted the representatives upon their return to their respective constituencies, was rendered the more striking and remarkable by the feeble and occasional mutterings of the few restless and dis contented spirits who with-held their sanction. Who supposed at that time that there would have been arrayed in a few months a political organization in the State, based upon Repudia tion of this wise, just, and enlightened judgment of the people ? “If the people of Georgia are prepared to re verse a decision so recently and solemnly made, and madly rush the ship of State into the gidf of disunion, in obedience to the summons of a neighbor ing State , then it is manifest that T am not the man to select for their Chief Magistrate/'’ It is not true that the organization to which Mr. Cobb here alludes, is based upon a repudia tion of the action of the Georgia Convention. There is a wide difference between declining to disturb the action of that Convention, and ap proving the Compromise measures of Congress, which that Convention acquiesced in. It is just here an important difference exists between Mr. Cobb and the Southern Rights Party, and, in fact, between him and a vast and overwhelm ing majority of the people of Georgia and the South. Mr. Cobb not only advocates an ac quiescence in the decision of the Convention, which Gov. McDonald does also, but he approves of the Compromise measures acquiesced in. He has declared them to be “ wise, liberal, and just.” Comparatively few in the §outh are willing to indorse this opinion of Mr. Cobb. The general sentiment of the Southern people is that the Compromise was grossly unjust and illiberal to the South. The Georgia Convention could not, and did not, wholly approve it , but not considering it sufficient to justify secession, or other strong step of the kind, acquiesced in it. Mr. Cobb says, “ If the people of Georgia are prepared to rush the ship of State into the gulf of disunion, in obedience to the summons of a neighboring State,” &c. This is another false issue most disingenuously and unfairly put. The implication here is, that the party now seeking to elect Gov. McDonald over him, are aiming to reverse the decision of the Georgia Convention, and to rush the ship of State into disunion. This purpose is disavowed emphatically by that party. Its candidate frankly and unequivocally disa vows any such purpose. Disunion for past causes is not proposed, or advocated by him or by the great party that sustains him. Such a course would command the assent neither of the judgment or the feelings of the great mass of the Democratic and Southern Rights Party. It is vain for Mr. Cobb to lay the flattering unction to his soul, that he has no opponents in Georgia, except those who are disunionists. He knows in his heart, and feels sensitively, that it is not so. Time and the ballot box will prove it. On the question of Union, or Disunion, Mr. Cobb holds no opinion or position more favorable in the eyes of thousands of Union Whigs and Union Democrats, than Gov, McDonald. The latter, especially, will cling, with unfaltering tenacity, to their old long tried friend, Gov. McDonald, whom they have known and trusted and honored as a sound Democratic Republican, Union man, when Howell Cobb was a beardless boy. They have seen him uniformly opposed to Federalism, as in all its Protean forms and dis guises it has sought to encroach upon the re served rights of the States, and trample State sovereignty in the dust. They find him still battling for the Constitution as it is, and striving to arrest the Consolidation doctrines of the once Democratic Mr. Cobb and his new allies, Web ster, Fillmore & Co., of the Federal Whig school. Thousands of Union Whigs of the State Rights creed, find Gov. McDonalo a better exponent of their opinions than Mr. Cobb, and will therefore vote for him, and no ingenuity of the latter in harping upon the old string ol Union or Dis union in the hope of reviving a dead question can deter them. The Disunionists, both Whigs and Democrats, those who would have desired Georgia to secede for past causes, may or may not vote for Gov. McDonald. Some may, like Judge Jones ol Paulding, renounce the Southern Rights Party and its caadidate because they are not for dis union—some may stay at home for want of a candidate as an exponent of their views, or may throw away their votes for an avowed disunionist. Others, it may be the great body of them, may vote for Gov. McDonald, as we sincerely hope they will. But this will neither change his views, or give them control over his actions or policy in the event of his election. The Southern Rights men, those who are not disunionists, yet hold Southern rights to be para mount to all other political considerations, and worthy of a party organization to sustain them, will vote for Gov. McDonald to a man. Rushing the ship of State into th) gulf of dis union, “ in obedience to the summons of a neighbor ing State ” / This, too, is shallow clap-trap. It is a paltry appeal to the prejudices known to ex ist with some classes in Georgia against South- Carolina. But Mr. Toombs, the newly acquired friend, ally and advocate of Mr. Cobb's pretensions to be Governor of Georgia, in the Convention that nominated Mr. Cobb, ridiculed the idea of South-Carolina seceding. He said there w r as not the slightest danger of it—that if the Union was not dissolved till she seceded, it would last a thousand years. But admitting South-Carolina does secede, where is the summons to Georgia to do the same thing, and where the indications on her part to “ obedience ” ? The Southern Rights Party of Georgia not only do not design obeying any such summons, but are, as a party, opposed to the policy of seces sion by South Carolina. Deeply interested for her welfare, and sympathizing with her convictions that gross injustice has been done the South in the Compromise measures, they would deprecate her secession from the Union, and consequent separation from her sister Southern States, as an unwise and suicidal step. They maintain that if she choose to go out, she has a right to do so— and that no Southern arm shall be raised to co erce her back. They oppose the election of Mr. Cobb because he has declared his willingness to have force used in such a contingency to coerce South-Carolina back into the Union. But they have not advocated, nor do they maintain, that in the event South-Carolina should secede, Georgia should follow. Mr. Cobb has unwittingly confessed in one sentence of his letter, the same thing in other words which his confederate, Mr. Toombs, did in the Convention. He says : “ But to my mind , the future presents no such gloomy foreboding. 11 Why, then, w'e ask, all this “ noise and confu sion” about destroying the Union, arbitrament of the sword , drenching the land in blood, and other “ chimeras dire 11 ? They are fantasies conjured up by demagogues to frighten the timid—elec tioneering humbugs to help Mr. Cobb to office. Instead of indulging in such clap-trap, Mr. Cobb would have more honored himself, if he had, in this letter, used the firm language of a State Rights man and a Southerner—if, while deprecating the secession of South-Carolina, or any other Southern State—he had declared that no Southern man should tolerate or consent to the Federal Government using force, and drench ing Southern soil with the blood of her sons for exercising that high sovereign attribute. But, on the contrary, he has given countenance to the idea that State sovereignty is not a sacred shield of protection to an oppressed State, in a hope less minority in this confederacy—that the only right a State has is to fight, and that which ever proves the strongest at the end of a desolating civil war, is in the right. It is a doctrine which wholly changes the fraternal and voluntary na ture of the compact of Union—a compact made peacefully, and which should cease in the same spirit. It di Ives away the angel of peace, invokes the demon of blood to his Moloch feast, and whets the knife of the Abolitionist for the throats of our wives and our children.
