WK lIESPECTFI'LLY call the attention
Manufacturers and Mill-owners to the follow

above celebrated Water- H tieel.
Vendors of Patents frequently attempt to intro
duce their articles to the public with high-sounding
promises and loud praises i which u.ean nothing.
Mr. Rich, on the contrary, has always been ready
and frequently offered to «est the capabilities of his
Wheel, against all o.hers, under any named forle*t
ure. His challenges have never been accepted. He
now accepts the challenge of others, and presents
even more tempting offers. We arc prepare Jto en

BEWARE OP HUMBUGS!
My attention hav ng been called to an advertise
ment in your paper, over the signature of Jagsur,
Treadwkll tk Pbrky, challenging all other wheels,
1 now declare myself prepared to accept the chal
lenge upon all the grounds specified, naming 8500
.....
or not, wdi give out as large a percentage of power,
under a like head and volume of water.
2d, That no wheel can :»e more durable.
'3d That uo wheel can be more simple.
4th. That none is cheaper.
sth. That no wh» el is mure steady.
6th. That che Rich Wheel is wholly superior to
tha Vandewater Wheel.
And again. There being those who are disposed
to questiuu the fact that the Rich Wheel discharges
but Imlf its lucasureiuent of apertures. I will bet
81,000 that the iischarge does not exceed one-hall
the a[>ert ures on a well consiructed and adjusted
Rich Wheel, aclQi*l experiment having denionsuu
ted that it discharges in rcuk’y but 2-sths of the
apertures, so that a wheel measuring “ 400 inches
in its discharge apertures," really vents less than
200 I The depth ol the water in the tail iace, is nc
criterion for estimating the quantity discharged, un
kss reference is had to the speed with which it runs
olf. For example: from the ordinary flutter-wheel,
under 10 feet head, 'he water runs off ai the rate of
18 to %0 !• et per second. From my be I, undei
same head, ii runs off at leas tnau | of this speed
and from this consequent sluwnese ol .notion, a thou

Death-struggle of Disunion in Morgan,
■ •Second KtTort of Mr. Lewis*
Mbssrs. Editors.— When Mr Lewis, to
gether with his opponent, Mr. Stephens, spoke
in Madison, some three weeks ago, Mr. L-.
for so ne cause, wished a second hearing. The
fire of Mr. Bteph?ns was evident y too galling
for him. and he wished time to prepire himself
for one fair hearing befcre his Morgan friends
previous t> the election. II s reques wa
rranted, and bids were vtrick-»n, and runners
•vere busy spreading the announcement, tnat
on the 10th inst. Mr. D. W Lewis would ad
dress the citizens of Morgan in the Court
House To-day he has been here But the
vas concourse which thronged the squaie
when Stephens was with him, came net again.
The hour of one drew on, and I do n<H sup
pose that there were more than 30 persons
who came to town to hear hi a! i here were
mn*. »hnn shant ifld nr-«»iW. and iirh'lv
ha t of thsse were Un on men Ine writer
wei t, expecting to hear Mr. Lewis do himself and
his party j istiee. So fui- as the latter was concern
ed, his object was attained—for, in the course of his
speech, he made some random bh<ts which have es
sentially killed the Southern Rights party in Madi
son.
He said, as he arose, th it he iiad so often met Mr.
Stephen*, and knew the tenor of his argument so
web, that he bid no need of documents, and ha I
therefore with him. He then went on in a
“ eery desultory manner,” as he ackn w e IgeJ in
conclusion, artfully dodg'ng at and around the vari
ous positions ol Mr. Stephens As his opponent wa<
not jrei'ent, and us notice ta i been circulated diat
no friend of Mr :-iet hens wo d i be permitted to
rep’y he got over ibis portion of ids speech very
smoot ly. But when hs came to himself, and un
dertook to defi e bis uwu i>ositton, he lound himself
in a male so dark tnnt MNue think he wound him
stlf completely u:» in the etf rt at extrication. Be
ore I ci<«e I a’>n g » ng to tel. you bow he did it.
Afier in inuatnig ihat Mr. Stephens was not sound
ou t e slav ty quest! >□ and th it he w*s a fiee-soiler,
in league «*i<h Mr. Clay in endeavoring to rr-vont
the extension ol slavery, be went v-n to expre«e his
o. n atl'CLnieni to the insti uu-n. He believed it
one ol Hc > i*sa , «* m st boons (o the human
mce, God’s uosen agent fir chrisdanmingthe woild.
He boiicved it «* moi al, religious and |>olitical bles
sing, and * islud H to s, r ud over the fair "O itbweH
until r vhail be planted ou the shores ot the Pacific
t his mounded well. Il look with ifie unsut-pecting,
who hid not penetrat'.ou enough to see his object.
Bui it so ha pp n> that Mr. Lews was one of the sup
porters ol Mr. Clay, who, he save, declared that be
would sooner cut ufl his right hand than use it in
pro.u dug the ex «uson of slavery He gives as h:s
teasou lor supporting Clay f»r the Presidency, that
he (dr Clay) was against the annex a’ion of Tex
as! which w.is the very eutering wedge to the ex
tension of slavery westward. Put bis two |*osi'ions
together, and look at bts beautiful consi»tency I Ve
rily. s ich sjeakers do well io avoid free discussion.
When Lewis was here before, he manifested con
aider .ble contempt for (he Georgia platform, cjlling
it a “ masted battery,” and various other hard
names. T >day he changed his lune, and towards
die ciore cf his speech made a very flattering alluvicn
to it.
He disclaimed ever having strode the nag Disu
nion, and 10l the people th .t the issue bes re ih m
was Consolidation or Republicanism. Thia is iLe
last ixflue which we reeol ect hearing announced i i
the campaign. It upeuad with the cry cf Disunion,
raised by Rhett, McDonald, and their traitorous al
lies. Seeing that he people repudiated such a foul
heieay, they made another ise< e, the right of seces
sion. Cobb having driven them from that, they
prate about Consolidation, and li;e drowning men,
they catch at any thing which offers a shadow cf
security. Some of them would fain plant them
selves on the Georgia platform ; but until the? strike
(heir McDonald colors they will find no re>t hereon.
Referring to the McDonald colors reminds me of lhe
contemptuous and sneering ad sion made by Lewis
io *• the Union, the Stars and Stripee, and all
that sobtof hcmbug!!” These were hts vary
werds, and be wound up by giving lhe peop ea de
monstrainn ot the manner in which he intended to
shout . ver the little Disunion, Secession, Mongrel
flag which he termed (he insignia of State Rights.
H urra for bun!
in the progress es his speech he evidently had
some misgiv’n-s *n regard loth* effect he was pro
ducing, notwi'hsianding h s fearless outset. Look
mg ov-r tne begeariy account of etnptly benchea
around him, he resorted, in extenuation of his fail
ure, to the pretext, that, upon arriving in lotrn, he
found that a general no ’ce had not been given, and
he bad not p« epared hi msei 11 He hoped there lore,
to have another hearing previ us to the election No.
that he bad ary expectation or desire to be elected,
but he loved t- e cause, ’’nd wn willing to la or for
it, “ witheul bops of lee or r-ward.” He expected
to fall in the fi fit, but was de ermined io bear his
“ little fli<” to the last ditch, and tail shouting for ill
Pact is, like on* of old, h - has trusted to be <q-ial in

Mr. Seddon’S Ani&sndment.
Messrs. Editors:— A' grast deal has been
said and written lately aboftt the rejection of
Mr. Seddon’s ainendmen- to the Utah B 11.
This is raid, too, by those who, uji to the time of
the passage of that Bill, Wfre clamorous for
non intervention. They now,say that the re
jection ol that amendment a virtual denial
to the South of the f run principles of non
intervention. Njw let i.« That amed
tnent was in the following words:
” And that prior so the formaline of State Cousti
tutioiis, there shall be no prawbrtlon by reason of
any law or usage existing in ati« Territory, or by
the action of the Territorial ieg(*latiire, of the emi
gration of all citizens of the United States with any
kind of property recognized" as stlcb in any of the
Stales of the Union.”
This amendment wis voted down by 53 in
favorofitand 85 against it. And the argu
ment is. that by th?e vo r e Mexican laws
against ale very were virtually affirmed. But
‘‘mark how plain a a’e shall put them down.”
Immed ateiy after the faction of this
amendment, Mr. Fitch from pidiana, offered
the following proviso :
“ Provided that tle Mexican law prohibiting
silvery, be and remain in full force ih said Territory.”
On this amendment the vol® was 52 for it
and 85 against. Th’-’ was Apwect vote on the
naked question of affirming tfin Mexican anti
slavery law, and the House,tAfu>ed io affirm
the Mexican law by a larger majority lhan
they refused to adopt Mr. Sodddn’s amend
men:. The truth is the majority in the House
had determined to c-rrv out the irae princi
ples of non into* vention as claimed by the
South, that is, that Congress would not inter
sere in any way with the subject of slavery in
ihe Territories, but leave it to. th > people there
’o determine for themaeives. This wasciea’ , *y
what Judge Berrien meant irvM?speech in the
Sonata, February 11, 1850, whe/» he s.ys:
u And now I desire Senafors to obgirvp the footing
upoa which, so far as I understand the Southern
claim rests. We make na duita f intcrler
ence. We do not invoke the exerepe of your legis
lative power. We deay that you r *e?s such pow
ers. ‘ power
wi.-.. j-i. <- -
be dented, of instituting Lr v rnut- °ta K. ib«*e
territories. Abstain from legislating upon the
rnt jscc of slartry.”
Here the position of the Snath is clearly
and distinctly slated. And the action of Con
gre-s was in strict conformity 'o it. No man
can deny it. Mr. Seddon tnezied the aid of
Congress on one side —Mr. Fitch on the other.
Congress came squarely up to the demand of
Judge Berrien, Mr Calhoun and all the South
ern Stales, and refined to interfere one r.ay or
theother, either for or agantt elatery in the
Territories. They abetatned from all legiela
twn on the subject. This is the tru.h of the
matter, and yet there are those who are so
c amorous lor this very doctrine, win, now
they have cot it carried out to the letter, say
they are d graded by if. For the vote o» Mr.
Seddon’s amendment, and Mr. Fitch’s imme
diately after, see Congressional Globe, l.t
Session, 31sl Congress, pages 1773 and 1774.
To the Savannah Georgian.
No. fi.
The truth will out. I have, fersome time
past, observed a disposi'ion on the part of the
Disunion press in Georgia to drop the Wash
ington Union, on account of its able advoca
cy of the American Confederacy. This, with
you and your compeers, is th? unpardonable
sin ; and, on account of this transgreasbn, the
organ of the National Democratic party has
incurred yoor deep displeasure* You —and
when 1 say you, I in dude your party—you
have for a iong time wished to denounce the
Washington Union, and vet yo i did not know
bow to begin. Thia would have been kicking
against the pricks ; and, as you are well aware,
this is hard to do.
You have wished to be considered as the
Democratic pai»y You, in common wiihthe
balance of the fire-eateri in this state, have
pronounced old parties dissolved, and that the
people were 8t libortv to range themselves,
and do so consistently, under either of lhe
new banners which were hms’ed— Union”
upon one. and “Disunion” upon the other.
And yet whenever a Democrat has refuse ' to
rally under lhe flag of Disunion, you have
denounced him as a tenevade and a traitor.
When you and your associates pronounced
o d parties dissolved, )ou ineaet. I suppose,
that the Wh g pany was dissolved, and yen
were prepared to receive accessions from its
ranks But the party which sty'ed itself De
m cralio, ycu still consi ered bound band and
r oot. ready to he trailed after he car of King
Rhett. You changed 'he name of the partv
which cal ed itself Democratic—-y<»u C’*ngpd
i s principles —you made its vratchw* rd “Dis
union.” and Hill expec ed. by the magic of the
word “Democrat ’ only occiaionaliy used.

Was ever such bold effrontery, and s »ch cool
impiidenc alt jrnpied to b- pahned off upon
human being* ? Verily, some men in the
world ho d before themselves a mi<ror. and,
sfleing their own asinine physiognomies re
flscted, imagine (hey behold the laces of
pcop'e, ’nd straightway, they
“ Play such fantaa'ic tricks before high heaven
/Xs mhke lhe Ante’s weep.”
But. as I was saying, you wished to de
naunce (ho Washington Union because it was
opposed o d sunion. Yet you did not dare
tn do so because that print was the organ ui
Democracy, and you wuhed to use lhe word
Democrat—sometime at least—to drag the
R publican party in o a support of the Des
tructives. You, and the balance of ib H f' re "
ea 1 mg nreas m Georgia, were in aquandirv.
Tne object detrest to your heart? was o de--
troy tht: if fluence of the Washington Union,
because that influence mighty a- (be lever of

and. in ins xaluiaiory, took stronr groaud in
tavor > f Union lhe organ of Disunion at the
sea'of Government proclaimed that the Major’s
paper could not represent the feelings of the
Southern Democracy. And I wib here re
murk, enpassant, that the unblushing effront
ery of the ex Abolitionist Fisher, in seeking to
pronounce to the Southern Democ acy their
duty ie only equalled by that of a cert iin other
(unmaking, noise loving, Union hatemg class
of politicians, now* in vogue m the Southern
S ates
The pronunoiamento of Fisher was pub
lished in several nf the Disunion prints, if I
mistake not—sometimes without comment,
and oct asionally with vary carefully worded
glosses. These were the “feeler'" to which
I alluded. Things passed on, end the ardent
deb.re of the in-union presn to immolate the
organ ol Democracy in Wasb'nglon, remain
ed unexecuted, because the mt! contents
dreaded he roar of he «!d bon. Th it man
had but half an eye in his bead who e< u'd not
see, as 1 foresaw, that y-_ u would al! finally
drop, and denounce the able Democra ic ad
vocate of Union Like so many jackals whom
the glance of the King of beasts kept at bay
in an Asiatic jungle, you stood gazing at the
victim which you wished to destroy, awaiting
the signal to pounce at an unguarded moment,
upon the object which you so much dread.
The R ileigh Standard, it seems, was the
first io u ake the leap; you <olHwe ! suit, and
I see both the S’andard’s and your articles
copied into the Const tutionalist of the sth
inst. You think, now. thatyou have the Dem
ocrats whom you inveigled into disunion far
enough committed, and the ‘war is actually
begun” against their ancient leader I pre
sume you intend to push it to its 4 bitter end.”
The chat er of a crowd of jays, woodpeckers,
carrion crows »n 1 < th er unciean birds in d’ead
of the E-g'e’ej loop, or the clamor of a crowd
of “curs of low degree,” when pitted against

farthest from the truth in italics. How could
you pen such a sentence? Major Donnel
son wa» in Tennessee during the pendency of
'h* Gubernatorial canvass, doing a'l ho could
f r Trousdale. Some asser that he left Wash
iuglon for ’hat purpose Upon his re'urn to
t«rj cry, after tne defeat of the Djmocra’ic
cmd date, he poured out along Hmentaiion
over that defeat. And you assert that he
aided in bringing it about! Comment is un
necessary
Speaking of the contest in Georgia, and the
connection of the Union with that contest, you
y that print is in "full atli iation” with those
who oppose McDonald. You say that Me
Donald is "one whose Democracy has never
been called tn queation—one whom the Demo
cracy of the whole S’ate has twice before
support* d and elected &• its Gubernamria! can
dictate.” Well Mr Georgian, answer me
when Mr. Qobb’s "Democracy has ever bee >
called in question ?” Answer m a whether the
Democracy of this State has not more than
twice supported and elected Mr. Cobb as a
member of Congress ? And say whether or
not the Democracy of the "w/io/s” ra’ion has
ever placed Mr. Cobb in ’be Speaker’s Chair
in V ashington City ? Why, even the Colom
bus Sentinel—much more honest than, if not
so politic as, some other disunion presses—does
notca iMr. Cobb’s Democracy in question.
Do you remember that not very lang ago—
alas how great the fail since -when even you
still held the Democratic name, and Demo
cratic principles in respect, and when you
took some of your contemporaries to task for
forgetting bo h, the Southern Sentinel op
posed you, and said than it was not right to
eallynur party the Democratic party, for
HowelX Cobb himself was-a Democrat ? The
the same for tne otFer.' txj.uniQXi prints tbit
S ate. That journal knows and admits that
the Democratic party was disorganized, and is
willing to cal! itself what it really h—a dis
union sheet What the balance of you fire
eating presses really feel, and are oover’ly
seeking to accomplish, ’he Sentinel has the
manly boldness to speak out, so that the world
may see and know i s opinions. It is honest
ly, though erringly, warringagainsi the Ameri
can Conte leracy, and is urging South Caroli
na to lay her sacriligious hands up n the tem
ple of Liberty and raze it t> the earth. The
den’inel is only vuil y of error—the balance of
yau guilty of crime—the crime of hypocrisy
and deceit if ol no o.har.
That McDonald is a Democrat —except so
far as he may be tainted with disunion —for
disunion was never a principle of Democracy
—I am willing to admit. But that he is more
nearly on Democratic ground in regard to the
one great issue of the times than Cobb is, I
deny in toto. One thin? is clear. Whereas
McDonald was once a U- ion Democrat and
opposed to the South Carolin i mania, he is
now, if not a dieunionist, at least in "full
afli lation” with the enemies of his country,
both North and South, in thair hatred to the
Union, and is regarded by Raelt as ono ol hie
bugle-blowers in Georgia —a blower upon the
bugle whose clarion p«e! it is clear Rhett
thinks, Freaks disunion and nothing elee.
Rhett may well say of McDonald :
“ Where, where was Roderick then 1
One blast upon his bu.'le born
Were worth a thousand men.”
Os course you w 11 think here I am "resorting
to the same misrepresentations of McDonald,
(charging him with "reflecting the views cf
Rne t”) which have fur months teemed in the
Federal presses of Georjii.” But what you
think is of little importance.
Even admitting your premises, that the per
so’ s ana the papers you mention are Federal
—which is far from true —your "full affiliation”
argument avails you but little, and the gun
which you charged with this amunition, is like
one mentioned in Hudtbras, which —
■■ “ aimed at duck or plover,
Kicked back and knocked its owner over.”
McD nald, it has been shown is not only in
‘full affiliation” with Rhett & Co., but is re
garded by the head of the firm as one of his
bugle blowers.
Yo i say "of course all its [ he Union’s J
influence goes to sustain Toombs and Steph
ens” [I suppose you mean Stephens] and
Johns >m. and flopkina, Federalists and Fede
ral candidates tor Congress—-against such
Democrats a= Jackson, McMillan and Ben

being Union men make Toombs and B
and other?, Federalist give me tuch f ederalists
in preference ro *auc4 Democrats sa McMillan
and Benning,” who go in lor such a policy as
will certainly end in disunion and its curses.
That word • imci” ia very well put in.
As to Jackson, you very well know he was
discarded by a mee ing of dieuaiouiate »«

of 'he Udi >n. This is p ecioely the poeifon
of the Washington Union. And if this be so
bow can it be said, with any tram, ma the
Union is opposing Mr. Jackson, with whom it
Hilly coincides ?
Hell what is your position? Do you an I

For thi CkronicU Sf Santine I.
Mr Editor: A friend has drawn our atten
tion to the following piragraph, in a commu
nication frcm a correspondent, addressed to
Governor McDonald, in your piper »f Tues
day morning:
*• One of the Popes or Rome, in o’den time,
claimed it as being his right and in his power,
,o release a man from the obligations of an
oath; indeed, from any moral ohhga'iin ; and
what was called an Indulgence was frequently
issued to authorize a person to commit mur
der or any crime, without sin or incurring
moral guilt. So, according to the doctrine of
the Secession pirty, a State can, in the exer
cise of tier ■ ivereign po*er, releas-e a citizen
from his oath to support the Constitution, and
gran* him an Indulgence to commit treason
against me naion without gu It The condi
tion on which the Pope granted his Indul
gence. was a good round sum of money ; the
condition on which the sovereignty of a Slate
may grant 'his In ulgenee, is Secession from
ta a Union.’*
To the political tactics of the writer of the
above paragraph, your Cathoii: fellow citizens
are comparatively indifferent, but when a man
who would fondly enlighten us upon other
topics, attributes to .he Pope and the principles
of our religion, eveh vile fea’uree as are exhi
bi ed in the few lines above quoted, they can
not but feel the outrage ; and they indulge the
hope that yo i will afford them the privilege, if
not the right, of putting a few questions to the
writer of the paragraph, that the public nsay
know the full grounds upon wnich he makes
said charges, and thus honorably justify him
self for charging vasi'y the most numerous
aud re*pec:able body us Christiana with doc
trines the moa unchris’ian.
Firstly. Your correspondent will be so kind
as to answer, what Pop: of Rome was it that
claimed a right to rebase a man from any moral
obligation ?
Secondly. To answer by what authority of
the Catholic Church, by Pope or Council, wto
an indulgence issued to authorize person to
commit murder, or any ut: er crime, with out
sin or incurring moral guilt
Evidence to support these charges is ah that
is rt-quir d So intelligent a writer cauLOt but
know wnat evid>nco is If he has written with
the evidence oi said charges before him, he
can su eiy produce such evidence If he ha*
written without evdenee tgains: his unoffend
ing fellow citizens, anJ insinuated the most
immoral imruiaiions *o their personal and soe ai
obloquy, wubout the most irrefragable testimo
ny, the public should know

Netos of tfie Week
The Cuban News.
Thi New Orleans papers of the sth inst,
rece ved by yesterday’s Western mail, brought
us full and copious details of the last sad acts
in 'he late terrible tragedy in Cuba. Wa coll
from an extensive correspondence of the Pica
ynne, two loiters which seem very copir us in
detail, and appear to bear lhe impress of truth.
Havana, August 30, 1831.
On the eveninng of the 28th, it was an
nounced that fifty more prisoners had been ta
ken near Rosario, and tiiat Lopes, with only six
or eight companions, was closely pursued, and
could not possibly escape, all the passea from
the mountains being strictly guarded, and the
invaders being totally destitute of provisions,
and exhaustc from their want of rest. Yester
day morning the Gaceta published the names of
forty prisoners brought into San Cristobal, and
this morning those of tnirty eight more. All
have since arrived, and the papers state that there
are now one hundred and thirty six prisonerg at
lhe disposition of the Government.
About 9 o’clock this morning, an extra from
the Gaceta inlormed the people that Lopez
had been captured. The news was contained
in a short letter from the Lieu enant Governor
of San Cristobal, to lhe Captain General, and
merely stated that on 6 o’clock on the afternoon
of the preceding day (29th) Lopea had been
brought into that town a prisoner, having been
captured by Antonio Santos Castaneda. In an
incredible short space of time this intelligence
circulaed all over town, and then commenced a
scene of rejoicing such as no other country
could show for a similar event.
Every description of fireworks, from a Chinese
craeker.up to a blunderbuss, including all the in
termediate grades, was pul in immediate requi
si'ion ; and for noiss, powder, smoke and dust, a
Fourth of July celebration in ths States could
not begin D compete. As the day wore on, the
rejoicing became more and more demonatrative
in its character. The Spanish shipping in ths
harbor displayed a'l their colors, and flags were
hung from the houses in most of the streets and
lanes, many of them stretching from house t.
house aersss the streets, and from every balcony
house top, window and door, were contin'’-"’’
■Recharging all deacduglc-hs of cxoloaLva matter.,
Bar. -uu i’ grown ■mSni'iiiabeys paraded the
streets, dressed in partl-colored ribbons, with the
Spanish colors of course. Shouts of “Viva la
Reina,” “Viva Espana,” “Death to Lopez and
his gang,” were heard in aJ directions, from
drunken whites and blacks. In one of the streets
anefifigy of a man dressed in a coat and pants,
with his boots outside of the latter, a big, bushy
beard, long hair, aud an old straw hat, was stuck
against the side of a h"use, and some five or six
Spa bards were firing blank cartridges at it, with
all tho ferocity necessary to satisfy themselves
and the assembled crowd. The effigy was sup
posed to represent Lopez, and lhe courage with
which his image was attacked denote the fierce
ness and determination with which hUassailants
would doubtless have met him a..d his adhe
rents in the “tented field.”
At night many of ths houses in the prin
cipalstreets were illuminated, and transparencies
with devices in wretched poetry hung from oth
ers. The band played in the plaza opposite the
Governor’s palace, and a large and very noisy
crowd assembled in the square. A torchlight
procession, rather meagre in numbers, preceded
by one of the military bands, niarehed tip in
front of the palace, andaf er saluting the Captain
Gene-al with severa 1 not very hearty cheers, and
listening as well as they could to some fixe mu
s'c from the two bands they started oil on a tour
of the c’ty, stopping in front of the houses of
the General ol Marine and other principal officers
of lhe Government, and cheering most lusti'y.
Small parties of amateu- musicians, filled with
patriotism and cognac, paraded the streets up to
a late hour of the night, the guns, pistols, crack
ers, &c., still keeping up a most hideous noise.
Long after nearly all the sober people had re
tired to rest the processions ceniinued to parade
the streets, and at this moment (12 o’clock) they
are marching and cheering in full vigor. I don’t
think many of them will sleep much to nighi,
and those that do will have splendid headaches
to morrow. And all this rejoicing over the cap
ture es one old man.
The arrival of Lopez vaa eaaeriy expected
here all day, but it is now said that he will not
come before to morrow afternoon. Rep rt fixes
his execution for the day after, (Monday,) but
of this nothing definite is known.
Capt. Platt, of the American sloop-of-war Al
bany, with one of his officers* visited the prison
ers this morning, by permissioi of the Captain
General. He stales (hat he found them in a
good condition, and that they had expressed
themselves well satisfied with their treatment in
the prison, plenty of good plain food being fur
nished to them, and medical attendance for
those who needed it. They give a terrible state
ment of their condition previous to their sur
rendering themselves or being taken prisoners.
They were reduced to the very verge of starva
tion, receiving no supplies from the country
people, and the few provisions they brought with
them were soon exhausted. The last meat :hey
had was that of the ho r se ot Lopez. They
complain bitterly of the deception practiced upon
them, they being led to believe that the island
was in a complete state of revolution, and that as
soon as they landed thev w juld be joined by
thousands of Creoles, with a sufficient quantity
us everything necessary for their support and the
maintenance of a war against an apparently
powerful but rally weak despotism, lhe di
rect reverse of this was found lobe the case
When they landed, instead of finding a people
nYifi".iJlMWifl r S;
deliverers, they met with either open opposition
or were flown from with distrust.
The Creoles of the island, the very people
whom they came to free from an oppressive
yoke, were the first to give notice ol their land
ing to the troops, and were eaeerin offering their
services as guides and soldiers to the Govern
ment. Os the thousands who promised to meet
them scarcely one was to be eem, and in a lew
lays they were surrounded by the masses ol
Hoops which the proximity of Havana enabled
the Government to throw al once upon them.
Tney lought two or three desperate fights, in all
of which they were victorious, but with even
hour the number of their axsailants were aug
en rnted, while theirs fatally decreased, and few
oi none came to join them. In the meanwhile
their provisions were giving out, racy saw no
prospect of receiving supplies, and they had no
means of curing thei' wounds or providing lor
their sick, h’oiced to leave the open country and
retreat to the mountains, they were hunted from
place to place by the soldiery, guided by the
Creole countrymen, until, separatedinto parties,
they were compelled to hide themselves in the
woods and among the rocks and caverns.
Their pursuers here finding themselves at
fault, had recourse to the tiained dsgs ol lhe
country, the famous Cuba bloodhound. These
animals were furnished by liter owners, lhe
Creole proprietors of the country, and led by
tlte unerring instinct of thessguides, they soon
hunted the unhappy fugitives from their places
ut refuge, and succeeded in killing or capturing
the whole of them. Col. Prag-ay, lhe gallant
Hungarian, was killed in the first fight with the
Spanish troops, that ot the Uth
The prisoners blame all this decep ion upon
Lopez and some part es in New Orleans. When
Capt. Platt informed them of lhecaptureof Lo
pez, and that he vas then on his way lo Havana
a prisoner, it was with difficulty the prison au
thorities could prevent them from giving three
cheers. Much ot this is douoUees assumed to
propitiate the Government; but there is no
doubt that these men feci bitti rh the deception
practiced upon tnein, and without discrimina
tion charge it upon their lea lets, who perhaps
were as much deceive 1 as themselves. Lopez
has proved his sincerity by coniinz here and
sacrificing his life in thecause. lam informed
ilia he had letters from several influential men
in the Vuelto Abajo promising to join him with
thousands of men in case he landed in H at sec
tion of the island, and mere can be but little
doubt that he expected to find the greater part
of the open country in lhe hands of the insur
gent Creoles.
Ido not envy the feelings of those who ao
eamestiy urged him to come, and so cowa dly
abandoned him when he landed—and it would
be but a just retribution were the proofs of their
complicity to fad into the hands of the Spanish
Government. It is said that among the papers
seized by the troops, are many letters witten in
cypher, and that one of the prisoners, the secre
tary ol Lopez, possescs lhe key to ibis corrasi on
deuce, and is wi ling to disclose it. 11 this be

H avan a Sept 1, 1851.
Last evening the steamer Pizarro came ofl
the harbor, and it was rumored that she had
Gen. Lopez on board, but that he Wunld not be
brought in until after nL-ht. A large body of
soldiers, w hose dirty appea ance and tired, worn
down countenances denoted the severe and fa
tiguing duly they had recently undergone,
marched through the streets, preceded by a
ba .d oi music and were received with the most
enthusiastic demonstrations of joy by the citi
zens, who crowded ths huuse-iups and streets
through which they passed. These had re
ently arrived irom the seat oi war, and were
he guard to whose care was entrusted the cus
tody of Lepez. Many of the inhabitants, una
able to restrain tneir joy, hugged and kissed
these dirty representatives of the power of her
Spanish Majesty, who did not seem to relish it
much.
At a late hour last night it was officially an
nounced in the city that Lopez was to be exe
cuted th s morning, and at daybreak crowds
were to oe seen wending their way towards the
small Ln of the Punta, outside oi the wails,at
the entrance of the harbor, and directly oppo
site the Moro Castle, i joined in tae stream,
and, on nearing the city gates, an immense
crowd were seen to be assembled, many ei
whom had been waiting for hours. The whole
space between the Puntafori and the Garcel was
filled with treops, cavalry and infantry, who
formed an im nense square, in the midst of
which was erected the scaflold. about twenty
feet high the lop surrounded by a balcony, and
in the centre of tue platform was the garrota.
This consisted of a small upright post, at the
oack of wnich was an iron screw, with a long
handle, and in front was the latal collar and the
chair in wnich the victim was seated. A short
time after my arrival, a procession oi priests,
with long, black capa, carrying a black dag or
banner, passed into the Punta, which was sur
rounded with soldiers, and about twenty minutes
afterwards the toiling of a bed gave notice that
Lopev was approaching. The drums called the
soldiers to older, and the mournful procession
aim st immediately entered the square. The
queerly dressed priests marched first, after
whom came a detachment cf the soldiers who
brought him in, dressed in he same diny clothes
they wore when they arrived, and in the midst,
with a priest ou either side, marched Nardsco
Lopez. He was dressed in a long while gar
ment resembling a shroud, with a h -od which
covered his head, but did not conceal bis tea
lures. The procession moved slowly across the
square to the scaffold, and Lopez ascended, to
gether with a priest and one or two officers.
Tne negro executioner fad preceded him.
As well as 1 cjUiJ sec between the bayonets
of tbesoidicrS: Lopez walked with a firm step,
and on reaching trie piatiurm he kneeled down
whne the pnesi recited a prayer. On rising, he
VOL. LX V—NEW SERIES VOL. XV- -NO. 38
took across in liis hand and kissed it repeated
ly. One of the ofiicera on tho scaffold then com
manded silence in a loud tone, and in an instant
everything was as still as the grave. Lopez
spoke for a few minutes, but the square formed
by the soldiers was so largo that it was impos
sible to distinguish whst ho ssid. His voice,
however, sounded clear and firm. He then
seated himself in the chair, the executioner ad
justed the c liar around his neck, gave two turns
with the screw, and Narciso Lopez was with
his God. A slight convulsive motion of tho
hands was the only movement I could perceive
in the body.
The immense crowd assembled behaved with
great decorum. A few miserable attempts wore
ma ie to get up a shout when all was over, but
they were unsuccessful. Tho body remained
seated in thechair, where I understand it will be
left until thia afternoon, and the soldiers we o
filing off when I left the ground.
An extra from the office of tho Gaceta th s

Official Despatch from Cuba,
We have been favored with ths sshjeined
extract front a despatch to the Navy Depart

at Havana The despatch is dated
“Havaka, Sept. 1.
‘‘The followers of Lope, having been
tirsiy disparted, and a number of prisoners re
ported as brought to this place on th. 27th alt.,
I addressed a ietter to ths Captai. Genera!
requesting permission to hold an interview
with any Americana, who might be among
them. This permission was readily aoeorded
in a reply, which he enclosed.” The interview
was postponed until tne msrning of lha 39ih
the prisoners having in the moan time been
transferred te tho Castle of ttee ‘Panto,’ and
some aeceskions having been made to their
number The Commandant of the Castle in

themselves. This officer was prese.nErinrgrr--
out the interview. Another gentleman, who
was introduced as Inspector of Prisons, same
in during its continuance, and remaiaed until
its close. The Prisoners were heavily iro.od,
were clad in a prison uniform, and had their
hair closely cut. They wero cenfieed in an
arched gallery, to which aeeess was had
through two grated deers, the inner one being
entirely of iron, In the little ante-room be
tween these two doors lay the garments warn

meat
“On oar entrance the Amerieans ware er
Jersd to advanoe to the front, aud all foreign
ers were sent to the other end of the eell. In
quiry being made for the ofiaors, the following
presented themselves, viz:
“James A. Kelly, of Now Orleans, formerly
of Bayou Sira, who held the rack of captain
in the expedition ; Robert M Grider, es New
Orleans, a native of Kentuoky, a lieutenan:
in the ; same J. D. Baker, of—, also a lien
tenant.
“No other iitficor of tie expedition presented
himself. They were informed that I had ob
tained permission to visit them, aud that my
object was to obtain from them aay information
they might chouse to give, whieh would be
forwarded to the Governaaent of the United
Biates, and perhaps might bo the means of de
terring others of eur eoentrymon from placing
themselves in the same deplorable situation
They were told distinctly that they were in the
power of the Spanish Government, aud that
nothing cou d be dene for them as Americans,
inasmuch as lhe President’s proelametion bad
declared that any paraens joining an invading
force would hereby forfeit the protection of
the Government of the United States. Tbie
was said to prevent tbsir forming any false
hopes from my visit.
“The information obtained was given iu the
presence of the entire party by the aforesaid
officers, and, being uncontradictod by any of
them, may be regarded as lhe testimony of the
whole.
“They stated that the expedition sailed from
Now Orleans in the steaaaer ‘Pampero.’ They
were not sure of the exact namber eoinpri.i >g
it, but thought it was 487 ; that it cortaialy did
not amount to five hundred. Before landing
in Cuba they anchored near Bey West, where
they remained several hours, an > were visiled
by some citizens of that place. They landed
in C iba about two o’clock of lhe morning of
the 12. h August. Their first fight took place
on the 13th. Ftoin that period the had lost all
recollection of dates. They had five engage
ments, but could not tell how many of their
number had been killed. They were armed
with condeeined muskets; bad no rifles; but
ma.iy individuals had revolvers aud knives.
They brought with them 80,000 cartridcex, and
oxptured many more after landing Tney had
uo artillery. Boon after landin.- they found .hay
nad been deceived, and became anxious e ra
nt rn home. They had been informed bafo-e
sailing that fourteen towns were iu posaaauon
and that lhe whole island was in a state ol
revolution. They suppose trial the flfty mon
captured with Col. Crittenden were on isavor
ing to make t eir escape. They so infer, from
he fact that they were all dispirited by the re
ception they met with, eud nisgnetod, as they
said, with the lies aud decep.ion’ pracliesd to
wards them.
“The country peapie generally fled at their
approach, and nene joined them. Warn out
wit i hunger and fatigue, the men comprising
this body threw away their arms a week or ten
days previously—they could not dis iuetly re
measber when. They had not, at that time
heard es the offer of life to sueh as would give
limmss vea up, but thoir intention was te
brow themselves upon the mercy of the Spaa
ish Guverntreul. They did net come in al!
together, but in seiall parlies, and et different
times. They had subsisted chiefly upon fruit,
and lhe last meat that some of them liad ealen
was a portieu of their General’s heres. Tnere
was no lack of ammunition when they threw
t say their arms, though muca es what they
Inouglithad beau damaged by rain. Lieut.
Grikerrtated that no carried a tnuskst, though
an officer, and that ha had twenty eight rounds
of cartridges in h s box when he threw it
away.
Capt. Kelly Hated that the Editor cf lhe
New Orleans Delta, Mr. Sigur, was instru
mental in persuading him to join the expedi
lion, havi-g addressed him personally upon l e
subject. He has reason to believe that he
persuaded mai.y o-.hers also. The whole party
mauileeted much indignation towards General
Lopez and ilr Bigur; and many of them
asserted that it would be worse for the latter if
they ohi uld live to return home. Oa being
laid that Gen. Lopez was taken prisoner, a cry
of joy and exultation ran through the crowd
They stated that Lopez was chief of the
expedition. Col. Dowseman was second in
commaud, and was ki led on the thirteenth
Col. IVr.,. Seen Haynes, of Tennessee, wet
another leader Acaording to their best belief
he was still in the mountains Col Cr ltend-n
bad been an effieur in the U 8. Army during
the war with Mexico. An Hungarian named
Pragay, who acted as Adjutant General, was

It is matter of regret that so imperfect a nar
rative has been obtained from thesa a ei or in uate
men. In ths excitement of the moment many
would speak at ones, and to some q 'estious it
was difficult to get a sa isfsc'ory answer, on
account ol the eagerness of all tn give it. *
At the request of the Comcaandan. of the
Castle, the prisoners were asked if they had
usd the beui fit of medical aitendauce <.ince

They were aieo asked if they had been pr Vi

It may proper to add that ths prisesers
appeared to ne in good health, and by no
means so much reduced as their exposure and
hardships would seesa to warrant. T)«? even
appeared to be cheerful, which may have been

during their wanderings upon the Island.

any law, of nature or of nations, entitles eat. form

I kaow not to what extent the Cuban peopl. mty be

their situation would have been improved by a

“ Ono word as to our Consul, against whom such
a tempen’ of indignation ia aroused.
1t VVith thia gentleman I have but little mere a.,
quaintance than with the Spanish authorities, having
never met with him more than three times; yet
seme facta may be mentioned in mere justice to him.
It is known that he resides in the ceaetry, and that
his office hour is nine o'clock. It ia known, too, that
the report oa the morning of the I6th Auguat, wu
that the persona to be abet were not Americana, bat
oitiseas of Havana. It is known that they were
taken from the Spanish frigate,and carried eut le be
executed about ten o’clock. Iknmt that it was not

until that hear, when it weald have bun toe late far
ia'erference. lam told that the Consul was net ap

ly beiicve this to be true. Se mush in justice to a
much .based man. I will add my belief that the
o-.rr.ct and prudent course pursued hy the Ceaaal
during those difficulties has contributed mere than
anything else ia th, aecority es the lives aad pro
perty of Americas oitizeu iu thia place, which have
continued undisturbed in spite of all the provveetiena
te retaliation that have been given.”
Execo-ivb IsTXucissies.—The annexed
statement, whioh appeared iu the Washington
/tepnKic of Tuesday, makes known the stops
taken by the President in behalf of ths Cuban
prisoners. Every body must wish success to
his i enavalent etforls:
"Upon tne t'.uoipt w mwr-;vap«iu t 1 mu Sj uue
patahee, the Presides! directed copies to be Mat te
the Spanish Minister, lhe further to eaforoe an appeal
already made te that Government, now since the
leader of lhe expedition has been eut off, to dsal
mere tally with bis deluded fohowen, who were en
ticed into ihe invaaioe under the be ief that the peo

aad desired aaaistaaoe toest.bliah a Republican Go
vernment—a state es facts which, bad it exiate i,
could eel have j salified their coaduct, either in view
es ear own eiatetM or of the law es nations, bat the
axpeotati.a of whi.fi gives them a strong elaim to
pardon.”
Gisbusl Jsoksos aid Cuba —The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Jour
ual of Commerce o ales that it is a remarkable,
bat qot well known fact, that, in the archives
of our Government we h.ve an engagement
made, in Jackson's adminictration, between
the United 8 etes. E- glaad end France, to
the effect that Cuba shall not be ceiled by
either party, and that Spain obeli remain in
undisturbed possesion es the Island.
This is very likely to bo so, so General Jack*
eon’s doctrine relative te interferenoo with any
nation iu time of peace, ia well known. For
example, take lhe celebrated osee which oc
curred in 1818 and which has been recalled to
our recollection by the Baltimore American of
Saturday, of Arbnthnot and Ambrisrer, two
British subjects who were made prisoners by
General Jackson in Florida, a then Spanish
celeay.— CkarU4an Cruritr.
“The arrests were made daring what was
called the Indian war, in which Gen. Jackson
commanded the American forces ho In
lisas fled into Florida ware pursued by Gen.
Jackson, and whi'st there, he took A'buthnot
and Ambrister prisoners. They were tried
by a military tribunal, and were charged with
'exeiting and stirring up tie Creek Indians to
war against the United States and her oilmens,
they being subjects of Great Britain, with
whom the United States are at peace.*
“They were found guilty, and Arbuthnot
condemned to be hung, and Ambrister to bo
shot; but the sentence' was afterwards recon
sidered in the case of the latter, and the court
sentenced him te fifty stripes on the bare
bask and to be confined with bail and chain to
nerd labor for twelve calender months.
"Gen. Jackson, on the following day, which
was 39th April, 1818, app. ovedtne finding and
sentence in the case of Arbuthnot, that
is that ho should be hung; and approved es the
tentence ie shoot Amnrister, and disap
proved lhe reeonsidera’ion la his Gener
al orders, be set forth ibat in Ambriater’a case
it appeared from the evidencoand pleadings of
the prisoner that he did lead and command
within lite territory of Spain, (being a sub
ject of G real Britain) the Indians ia war
against the United Stales, those nations being
at pease, ‘it is.’ he con inues, ‘an established
principle of the law of nations that any in
dividual of a nation making war against the
citizens of another nation, they being at peeee,
forfeits bis allegiance and become* an outlaw

Toe PAnrano.—The Florida arrived at
New York from Savannah, reports that the
nailin' r Pam ero is still leitern g about Sa
vannah and adjacent ports, expteasly for the
purpose of be ng captured by the government
an'.horities. This, it is said, is at the instance
or through lhe irflaenoe of Mr. Begor, a law<
rer of New Orleans, who wishes to test the
question ofsrre->t, in order to ascertain what
le*al or eonsiitati *wal rights are sff c-ed by it.
It is said that the coal dealer at New Or
leans, who agreed to supply the Pampero with
160 tens of coal, delivered only 80; end that
in consequence o‘ this defleiont supply, the
Pampero'on her la'e vovage to Cuba ins end
of p oceeding to Puerto Prineipa, the point
of her original destination, was compelled to
