First Paper in Virgin*.
A correspondent of the New York Time» fur
nishes that journal t?<e following very intesteat
tn- sketch of theX 7b f ■' X\
in tae “ Old Dominion.”
“ Acecording to Thomas’s History of Printing,
vol. 2 ; p. 460, 11 Only two newspapers were
published in Virginia before 1775, and both at
Williamsburg. The first, which was under the
influence of the Governor, commenced about 1736
thu second 111 1766. Mr. Jefferson observes —
“till the beginning of our rovolu'ionary disputes
we had but ona press ; and that, having the
whole business of tho govvramont and no compe
titor lor public favor, nothing disagreeable to the
Governor could find its way into it. We pro
cured Hind to come from Maryland to publish a
free paper.” 7\s Viremia Gazette appeared as
early as 1736, on a half sheet.foolscap, & occasion
ally on a whole sheet, printed by William Parks,
who continued it until he died, in 1750. Some
months after his death the piper was discontin
ued.” “ Virginia Gatte, with the freshest
advices, Foreign and Domcstick” appeared
next, and was, lu fact, but a renewal of the first
Gazette, which had been a short time suspend
ed, but it commenced with Ne. 1. It was pub
lished weekly, on Monday, on aj crown sheet,
folio, neatly printed, and had a cut of the Vir
ginia Arms in the title, The first number was
published in February 1751. Imprint—” Wil
liamsburg: Printed by Wm. Hunter, nt the Poit
Office, by whom persons may be supplied with
this paper. Advertisements of a moderate
length for Three Shillings the first week, and
7’u?o Bhi'lingseach wsek after.” In this Gazette
were put iished, In 1757, many well written es
says, ur.dci the signature oi ‘*The Virginia Con
t’nel.” Huntei died in 1761. r Tie Gazettes ma
enlarged to a demy size, and published by Jo
seph Royle, after whose death it was carried on
by Purdie & Dixon—who continued it until the
commencement of tho wm—and Put die alone
published it several years during the revolution
ary contest. ** 77ie Virginia Grzstte, publish
ed i»y Authority ; Open to all Parties, but influ
enced by none,” waa fust published in May,
1766, and continued, weekly, on Thursday. A
cut of the arms of the Colony was in the
title. It was well printed with ikw types,
on a demy sheet, folio Imprint ” Wil
liamsburg: Printed by William Rind, at the
New Printing-office, on the Main Street. All
persons may be supplied with this at 12s.
bd. per year.” At the end of the first year,
” Published by Authority” was omitted in the
head of The Gazette
This paper was published by Rind until his
death, Aug. 19, 1771. Clementina Kind, h’s
widow, continued it after he died, and to her
succeeded John Pincknay. Another Virginia
Gazette was first published in April, 1775, and
continu’cd*wcekly, on Saturday, by John Clark
son and Augustine Davis, at Wtiliamaburg, seve
ral years.
1 have a full file of The Virginia Gazette for
1775. in which are tho different accounts of the
Battle of Bunker Hill.
Another and still greater error in the history
of American Typography, occurred recently in
'J'he Albany Register, as follows;
‘‘The fiist book printed in the State of New
York was the first constitution of the State. It
was printed, according to a statement by the
Honorable Gulian Verplanck in 1775, just after
tbe Legislature, retiring before the approach of
British bayonets, first to Harlem, then to Kings
bridge, Yonkers, White Plains, Fiohkill and
Kingston, d.Kcussed and adopted it. The peo
pie could find but one press in their domain
with which to print this work of their represen
tatives. It was done at Fishkill, by Samuel
Louden, who had been a Whig editor and prin
ter in the city of New York, and Vna retired with
his press to Fishkill where wm the choif deposit
of stores, hospitals, etc , of the northern army
of tho United States. Mr. Verplanck possesses
a copy of this precious piece of American typo
graphy.”
Tbe first book printed in New York, was a folio
volume of tbe laws of the Colony, by Wm. Bradford,
in 1693, ” printer t' their Majesties, at the sign of
Bible.” Several editions of Laws of New York, aa
well aa hundreds of volumes of other works, were
printed here previous to 17771 The editor of Ths
Register docs not seem to be very well posted up,
with regard to printing, even in hisowa city ; at Al
bany, even, (ths second place in ll e State, where
printing was introduced.) Messrs. Alex, and James
Robinion, printed about tbe year 1770 •
I hava ‘‘A Latter ot Advice to a Young Gentle
man leaving the University, concerning his BeLav
ioor and Conversation in the World, by R. L. —
Printed and sold by W. Bradford, primer to His
Majstiy King William, a‘ tbe Bible tn New York,
1695.” 24ino. pp. 51- Also an Almanac for 1699,

From the llimwe
Leter fremone cf Lopez’s Commanders.
The following Lt er from Captiin Robert
El is, of Washington, D. C., ono es Lopez’s
principal officers, ts Cap*. J. C. Marne tt, of
this city, will be read with interest:
Havasa, IlcsrrrAL, Sept. ?
(I forget the da e.) $
My Dear Marriott: 1 have not much time
to write you any thing by thia mail; have only
to s y thit we fought one b&tt’e at the village
Posss,” with 300 men upon our side
and 800 Spaniards, in which we gave them “a
devii of ath ashing.” They carried off their
wounded, but left 132 dead upon the field.
This yon will say was a pret y good day’s
work for ur.drilltd u*d undiaciplined men.
Our loss was 45 killed and w ounded. I got
two wounds—one in my band and one in ths
groin: the la ter has healed op, and tho first
is ge ting much better. 1, being senior cap
tain, had “the right of the bat alion ;” and a
pretty hot place it was. Our brave old colo
ne, R. L. Downman, was killed while cbarg
ing the enemy; Lieut. Labszan, cf my com
pany, was killed iu the same charge. Two
captains and two lieutenants were left at “Lis
Poms.” as we had no transportation for them*
The Hengarian general, Pragay, was ako mor*
tally wounded and had to be left.
We waited at Lis Posas twelve hours after
the battle for Col. Crittenden to come up with
the baggage and ammunition ; but only 35
got through, bringing the disastrous intelligence
of Crittenden's defeat at Palmyro, about nine
miles from Las Posse.
On the 17th we were again attacked at
F'riez by 100 lancers and 1,000 infantry.
We repuked them with great loss on their
part, aud only two men on our side. In a
few days came one of those hard rains com
mon in the mounting in thia country, which
coniinued a -veral days, waiting our ammuni
tion guns and every thing else. This was a
pretty bad position to be in—in the mountains
without food, or the means of procuring it!
On the 20th a large body of the enemy, with
artillery,attacked us. We had some thirty or
forty guns which would jet “go off,” and a
few Spanish cartridges ; with iheae we upset
35 Span ards before their artillery came up.
Gen. Lopez then ordered a retreat, which be
came a total route.
They m*da many prisoners of our poor
bare footed soldiers, who icers immtdiaUly
shot. Os all suffer ngs ercr—erer endured
by mortal man, For tbe next I! ree days, I think
ours exceeded. Just think of it!—only one
meal of horse flesh during the whole time.
On the 28ih I was made a pnsoner, and
treated eery kiudiy until I reached Havana,
when we were chained (sick and wounded) to
gether.
Upon an extmina’ion being made, I and
some others were sent to this hospital, where
we haveesery attention, and are treated in
the kindest and meat gentlemanly manner by
the surgeons and students.
Os oar consul here 1 have nothing to say;
he came one > to the prison, for some ten min
utes, and insultingly told one hundred and
fifty men, who were in chains, that the pro
clamation of the President prevented him
from doing anything for ua. In the hoar of
need came afuend, like a ministering angel
from Heaven Mr. W. Sydney Smith viei ed
us every day; he i‘ secretary to the British
consul general What a rebuke to our con
sul was his conduct! He never came empty
handed, nor with mere words of comfort; bat
clothes, cigars, money, and many other arti
cles were brought in abundance. Our
consul had refused ns looks or papers:
Mr Smith furnished both—American papers
at that; so that we could, read with pleasure,
the accounts of the meetings, Jcc., held in the
States.
God bless that young man, Harriot. The
American people should rise upon masse and
hank him ! 1 could fi.l a dozen sheets in tell
ing yon of bio generous sets to myself; he has
been particularly kind; and if the rules of
the hospital would permit it. everything in Ha
vana weald be at my service. Through bis
nfluence many American gentlemen, who had
before applied in vain, gained admittance to
see us. They, with Mr. Smith, raised f 1,700
for ths relief of thoos sent to Spain.
Oir eounsel here is a sconndrel ! Mr. J.
S Th rest er, an American gentleman of this
plaea,noxt to Mr. Smith, has done most for us
Answer thia with oae of your iorgest kind
of tetters. Direct under cover to the British
consul general. Joseph T. Crawford, esq.,
Havana. e • •

What Manufactories <lo*
The observant and reflacting generally, in
(his city, and indeed throughout the entire
Stalo, need no other evidence than has already
been Fubmilled to them, and practically de
monstrated in a hundred different localities in
the S ate, of the advgntages of Manufactories;
or, in other words, what Manufactories do;
yet there may be nemo intelligent men who are
still doubling or skeptical, and to such we
would commend the perusai of lhe following
article fromthe Louisville Journal:
Cincinnati—its rapid Growth and some of the
causes thereofe have |usi be’n looking over a
volume of 354 [ages, prepared by that most indefati
gable statist. Charles Cut, and ent tied “Cincinna
ti in 1851.” A city that in half a century his in
creased firm 7EO to 115,438 souls, must have had a
p sition, a population, and industrial pursuits worthy
of careful examination
Louisville commenced the cent'.ry with 609 peo
ple, end Pittsburg with 1.565. The former has, by
the last census, cnly 43,277, and the latter only 67,-
871 people. The one has a site, in extent and con
venience, inferior to none io the world ; and, I esidee,
is at tbe only great obstruction in a route of inland
navigation of ever 2,000 miles. The other has had
tho advantage of coal and iron.
In the fifty years, New Orleans has increased
from 9,650 to 120 951 people. With all the won
derful commercial advantages of that city, its actual
increase has been less than that of Cincinnati. Du*
ring tbe last decade, the population of the latter has
more than doubled, while that of the former has only
increased 20 pei cent., and now, in the opinion ot
many, is actually retrograding. In the a idress ol
Messrs. Burk and others, in the latt number of De
Bow’s Commercial Rev’cw, it is stated tnat there
were, in March last (the busy season) 299 vacant
houses io the Second municipality a.'one.
How shall we account for all this 7 How does it
hap-'ep *r.vJrjae i by hi lie, with u natural*
site of only abobi SOt) acres, without coal or minerals,
with a very limited river front, and with no obvious
advantages over a hundred other positions should
have increased wish such a wondstful rapidity 3
Wc have not time to answer this query in full.
Asa general proposition, the tendency of a popula
tion is to centralize. In the centre of a val ey, sub
sistanco is more uniformly abundant and cheap,
while communication and into change are more con
venient. Louisville Lad the most central pos'tion
but the peculiar institution of lhe South was sup,
posed to be antagonistic to the classes of mechanics
and manufacturers, who, more than others, build up
a city.
Ninety-seven pages of the book before us arc ta
ken up io brief no ices of lhe manufactures and in
dustrial [ roducts cf Cincinnati. Here is the rccrei
cf its growth. From the immense roiling mill of

as any comm’ssfon merchant or bink president.
The aggregate product of the manufactures of
Cincinnati is estimated at fifty five millions, seven
teen thousand dollars—a value almost half as much
as the entire export cf the United Slates. Os this
product, labor has added over twenty five millions of
dollars to the ccst of the raw materials.
Here is an illustration. For the manufacturing
of mechanics’ tools there are ecven factories —nine-
ty-six hands— value of product, $167 OJO of
raw material, $58,109. Ninety-six workmen cre
ated in one year a wealth of $109,600. The wealth
thus created remains at home and is reproductive.
The leading business of Cincinnati is ths provision
business, but there it has very many tranche.'.
Tbe foundenea and engine shops give empkyment
to 4,695 persons. The pork and beef establishments
employ direct'y only 2,450 persons—indirectly they
set in motion the coopers, the lard-pressers, lhe bris
tle-diesseis, the brush-makers, and a host of others
who gather up and use every part of the dial, from
the tip of the horn to the end of the tail.
Oneestabii hrnent, that of Ti lery A Chipin, pay
out yearly $60,000 to theirworkmeu, and as is s a

They make covse b ots and shoes. The f irniture
busiuera supports seven or eight thousand people.
We have not t me to do more than refer ton few cf
these city makers, end to suggest, to ourwonbipful
mayor, council, and aldermen—to our worthy bank
presidents and bank directors —and g’ner Jly to the
n agnates who frame our municipal laws, du tribute
money, and sway public opinion —the expediency
of sending for a tow hundred copies of Mr. Cist’s
book—first fortbeirown use. and then for distribu
tion among their poor neighbors who want a larger
population bar 3 to the amount ts individual
taxes.
Currents of the Ocean—Tho currents
of lhe ocean has, of late years, a’tracted much
attention; aid, bs it is again to science when
a series of correct observations are persevered
in with a view to come to tho elucidation of
that in’orestinr phenomenon, it is with p en
sure that we learn that Mr. Bales'ier, in his
late diplomatic mission to Southeastern Asia,
in 1849, gave his personal attention to the tem
perature of the atmot-pheie and of the sea at
lhe depth of ten to twelve feel bdow the sur
face, three imes daily, during his voyage from
this country via England, to Alexandria, in
Egypt, and from Buez to Hong Kong, and
from that port to New York, pursuing the
same route, in the present year.
These obsei va'ions, we understand, disclose
several facts apparently unrecorded before,
showing a higher temperature of the sea than
of lhe atr for thousandsof miles continuously,
and increasing with the depth. Thia condition
of the soa, Mr. Bbl slier thinks may give an
easy solution to the cause of the great corrects
on ;>ur coast, as well as to that off the Cape of
Good Hope.
Mr. Bsles’.ier, we also understand, has made
observations on the waters of lhe Mediterrane
an of a very i.Teresting kind, which may per
haps readily account for the upper current from
tho Atlantic, and lhe lower one from tho Me
diterraoean.
It is to be hoped he wiil make public his
long and interesting series of observations,
accompanied with 1 n account of his recent
mission to those Orien’al regions, which pre
sent new fields for American commercial en
terprise.
Tie Coiuumption of Smoke end Savin" es
Fuel—W a find in the New York Tribune the
following account of the success of an inven
lion which seems to be particularly advanta
geous for furnaces in cities:
We visited on Saturday the Chemical Work'
of Aid. D. F. Tiemann & Bon Manhvtanville,
to witness the operation of Broker's Improved
Furnrce, in company with the Trusteer' Agent
J Armory. Esq ,of Boston Messrs; Tiemann
& Son have applied this invention to several
different boilers, so that it was burning An
thracite, Bituminous (Liverpool) and Semi-
Bituminous (Dauphin) coal in the same es
tablishment at once- in no ca-ecr uld a parti
cle ofstnoke be seen to issue from the chimney
—alt was consumed—and only transparent, in
combustible g-ses given off through the chim
ney, whether high or low. By tins cjtisump
tion of the smoke, it is calculated that.# saving
of sixteen per cent, is effac ed, and a? much
more by retaining the heat longer under the
boder and bringing th® great body of it more
direct iv in contact therewith. This is effected
by means of three orfeur pecu’iarly construct
ed cut ved bridges or arch-s erected at certain
ictervals across the space beneath th common
cylindrical (or any other) boiler, between the
fire and the further end, each bridge or arch
reaching to within three or four inches of the
boiler, and forcing all the heat in o immediate
con act therewith. By the intense heat thus
concentrated, the smoke, &c , obliged to pass
through these narrow apertures, are eonaum
ed, leaving nothing but incombustible gases to
pass off and up the chimney.
The chief recommendations of this inven
tion are its simplicity aud cheapness. It may
be applied to any boiler, however odd or im
perfect, and the poorer the boiler is the greater
the margin for saving No resetting is needed,
and the time required for making the applica
tion is very shoi t.
Tsr Use or Fruit.—lnstead of standing in
miv fear of a generous consumption of ripe
fruits, we regard them as positively conducive
to health. The very maladies commonly as
eumed to have their origin in the free use of
apples, peaches, cherries, melons, and wild
berries have been q jite as prevalent, if not
equally destructive, in seasons of scarcity.
There are so rtany erroneous notions enter
tained of the bad effects of fr it, that it is quite
time a counteracting impre-sion should be
promulgated, having is foundation in common
sense and based on the common observation
of the intelligent. We have no patience in
reading the endless rules to be observed in th s
particular department of physical comfort
No one, we imagine, ever lived longer or freer
from the paroxysms of disease by discarding
the delicious fruits of the land in which he
finds a home. On the con rary, they are nec
essary to the preservation of health, and ate
therefore caused to make their appearance at
lhe very time when the condition of tbe body,
operated upon by the deletion icg causes not
always understood, requires their grateful,
renovating influences. —Boston Mid. and Surg.

more than 2,000 years atro. Pliny mentions it in

siz rates .hat at 9,000 feet ten kinds of plants, in
fusoria and some Crustacea, have been found, and
that these give a deep red cokr tn the snow. As
thia subatjcce grows finely in such an elevated po
silioa and in a temperature far below the freezing
point, it is not strange that a temperature of 40 or 60
degr«ea should dissolve it, and the infusoria and Cru

such should be the composition, tbit it cm be pre

Cottou Plnntera* Convention.
The Convention of cotton planters to be held
in this city during the sitting of the Agri
cultural Fair, on the 29 11,30th and 31st Inst.,
have some important projects in comtemplation.
Among other things of importance that will be
proposed, wo understand that a plan a ill be sub
mitted to the consideration of the Convention,
for forming a mammoth combination of cotton
Planters, under charters from the different
States to guarantee to the planter not less
than a fair price—tay ten cents for his cotton
under any and all circumstances, and without
regard to the the ruling rates in Europe. Its ac
tion will have an important influence upon the
cotton in'erestsof lhe South, and we trust the
Representatives from lhe different Stales will
be full, and caosen from th a moat experienced
and intelligent cotton planters in tho whole
cotton region —A7icon 7 etc.
A Convention this, it the statements of the
Telegraph be conclusive as to its objects, to se
cure the exemption < f the cotton crop from the
usual vicissitudes of climate, trade and the laws
regulating supply and demand. The seasons
will have to be adjusted so that due proportions
of wet and dry weather shall alternate at proper
intervals ; a treaty must be made with the army
end boll worm and other entomological specula
tors iu cotton ; the fluctuations of money val
ues wiil have to be set forever at rest, and a fixed
rate ot consumption dictated to and forced upon
the world. Can tbe Cotton Convention manage
this 1 Can it regulate the tide 3 or lay down
laws for the winds 3 or oblige the Gulf Stream
10 run the other way 3 Unless it can, the price
of cotton is likely, we fear, to continue its old
fashioned mutability.
******
Tho regulation of prices is a chimera, of
course; buttno project of a direct intercourse
between the South and Europe, which is a prin
cipal object of the Macon gaihering, is not at all
chimerical. The trade of the Southern Slates is
large, and sus, sptible of any amount of exten
ei« n. The progress of manufactures in their
midst naturally suggests a corresponding devel
opment oi commerce. The commodities are
ample, the shipping procurable, and the econ
omy ot saving the cost of coastwise trans
portation to a northern port obvious. The only
wonder is, the movement was not made long
ago.
Kossuth.—. 4 London letter of 33 instant
pub i«hed in the N York Commercial Adver
titer, says : “Information has been received
that tho Mississippi may be looked for at
Southampton in ihecourxe of a few days, with
Kossuth and his family and followers. Aware
that but for the influence of England with
Turkey, his detention would probably have
ended only with his life, he feels himself im
peratively ca'.led to acknowledge personally its
action on his destiny. This duty discharged,
he proposes to leave his children in lhe coun
try, nnd to proceed to the United States to
thank the people, Congress and Government
for the timely aid they have also afforded to
him.
“It appears that the Government of the
French republic have not dared to permit
him even to pass through their territory. On
landing from lhe Mi s.-eippi at Marseilles, he
applied for permission for h mself and his com
rades to travel byway of Paris to England.
Thia transient hospitality—this mere right of
way—was, however, refused to him, and he
returned forthwith on board his vessel. Pass
ing fiom his hotel to the quay, he < bserved,
moreover, the activity of the police in dispers
ing a crowd that had fallowed to express their
sympathy by cheers.
“The preparations for his reception at
Southampton are being carried on with spirit.
The Mayor, a man of considerable weal h, is
en husiastic in his desire to ma-k thaoccasion,
and he seeme to be generally supported by the
inhabitants.
An address to Kossuth is in course cf exten

more than the ordina y fjrma'ities of civility.’

two large grooved wheels which track the wire.

A Curiob:ty.—We paid a visit yesterday tn
a specimen of the human race before whom
Tom Thumb and al! his brethren must sink
into obscurity. The olject of our visit was a
little woman 'rom Merida, Yucatan, whence
sne arrived here yes.crday. She is apparently
about thirty years of age, with black hair and
light brown complexion, a regular Mecanca
of the poorer class, born and raided in Merida
She is about three feet high (her precise height
has not yet bean ascertained) with the head,
face and body of a full grown woman. Her
lower 1 mbs are preposterously short, and ap
parently crooked. Her feet are remarkably
final!; one has throe toes, the other four. She
is without entire aims. An inch or two of
what was to be a imo, is seen at the left shoul
der; at the right’here is about six inches of
an arm. The extremity is round and smooth,
and near it on the upper side of the limb is a
•mall excrescence of flesh, white colored, look
ing like the end of a finger and about the size
of a rifle bulle*. This appears to serve the
woman in lieu of a finger. We saw her hold
a cigarrito with it and smoke; and by its aid
and that of her toes, in the use of which she
is very dexterous, thned a fine needle, mike
various kinds of Miches use scissors, open the
paper of a cigarrito, put tho tobacco on iho
floor, pick it up and replace it, refold the pa>
per b‘ nd the ends, tie inc cigarrito round with
thread, &c. Sue sews all her own clothes, and
very neatly, too. All these operations are
slowly gone threugh with, exhibiting much pa
tience on her part, and considerable intelli
gence, as she has never been taught any thing.
She speaks Spanish fluently, appears to be
timorous and ret ring but amable ar.d spright

Letter from Capt. Kelly—Consul Owen*
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 30.
Gentlemen ; —Enclosed you will find a letter
of mine, in reply to Mr. Owen's defence, which
I had intended to reserve until I returned to New
Odeansand publish it in tho I’icaynne, but the
necessity of refuting that man’s falsehoods press
ed so hard upon mu that 1 have determined to
put him In his right position at once before pro
ceeding any further on my journey ; and accor
dingly insert it to day in the Piaindcaler, of this
city. By your giving my letter a place in your
paper, you will much oblige your obedient ser
vant, J. A. Kelly.
Dear Sib—l see a letter the rounds of
the papers iron: Alien F. Owen, U. S. Consul at
Havana. Permit me, through the columns of
your paper, to correct some of his statements in
regard to his conduct towards Col. Crittenden’s
command, and other American prisoners since
confined in the Punta at Havana. In lhe first
place, he says:
“I reside about four miles from this place, and
not being well on the morning of the 16th, did
not reach rny office till some time after 10 o’clock
where for the first time, I hea d of the capture,
cf about fifty of the men who had come with
Lopez to this island in the steamer Pampero. 1
at the same time heard that the prisoners had
been tried, found guilty, condemned, ordered to
be executed, the order for their execution spnt
furward, and that they were about being removed
from lhe harbor, where they were, to the place
of execution.”
This is the most perfect collection of falsehood
I ever met with, and is only equalled in absur
dity by the audacity of the man in thus attempt
ing to justify his conduct through the American
press. He does not live four miles out of town,
nor was he tick at the time referred to. He
did know in time of the arrest of Crittenden and
his party, and was sent for by them, and posi
tively refused to see them on the score that they
were oatlaws. The American, German and
Eng’ish citizens resident in Havana, will testify
to this whenever called upon.
The American Consul’s assertion that the
prisonershad been (tied, found guilty and con
demned, is a falsehood, and every man in the
Unittd States, at all acquainted with Spanish
law and Spanish tale, must see it at once. It is
not the custom to try prisoners in Havana,
o herihanby thegaroteor by shooting in the
back, which Mr. Owen knew at the time he
penned his letter,as well as the Governor Gener
al did himself; and, judging from Mr. Owen’s
conduct, 1 should think he wasmorein dread of
getting in prison himself than anxious to get
others out. The Governor General exercises
great influence ovei cowardly wretches like Al
len F. Owen, no matter what country they may
hail from. Hence I account In a great measure,
for his r eglectof duty in permitting tho Amer
icans to be shot.
With regard to the other prisoners, his conduct
is equally outrageous. When 1 reached the pris
on I found eight or ten of my comrades there,
and they all said that the Consul had not been to
see them. I also sent tho same evening by an
American at Havana, to Mr. Owen, and he re
fused to come, saying our Government did not
recognize us. When C pt. Piatt of the sloop of
war Albany, visited us, I sent to Mr. Owen by
him and he again refused to come.
Then Lieut. Taylor of the Albany, said he
would “make him come,” and the next morning
Mr. Owen paid us a visit with Capt. Platt. As
he came in the Americans gathered around him
and for some reason ha backed through the door,
and held conversation with us with the grates
intervening. 1 then asked him to assist me in
corresponding with my friends in the United
States. He refused to help me, and said that 1
would bn sent to Spain.
Many of lhe prisoners then gave up al’ hope
of assistance from the American Consul, and
threw themselves on the protection of Mr.
Craw ford, the British Consul. Two of the Mis
sissippi volunteers, American, called thjmsclvcs
Irish men, in order to obtain assistance from lhe
English Consul.
After I was released, and while remaining on
board the ship Norma, the American Consul
asked a friend of mine from New Orleans if 1
knew’ why 1 was released. My friend said no.
Mr. Owen then said, that he did not want the
credit or the blame of my release to rest upon
him.
My object in publishing this letter is to de
fend the reputation of my gallant companions
now in prison, by refuting lhe falsehoods in Mr.
Owen’s letter, and to show to the American
people lhe true character of their Consul at Ha
vana.
Will tho papers that have published Mr. C wen’s
letter give this a place in their columns 3

Pcauiyivaula Election.
The following remarks,which wo copy from
the Baltimore Clipper, in relation to the defeat
of Governor Johnston, are well timed and
proper. The South can no longer rely, Bays
the Savannah Republican, upon either the
whigs or de nocrats of the Nor h, under their
old party organizations or denominations, and
wc of the South must support and cherish our
friends whether whigs or democrats. Hence
we rejoice in the election of Bigler, the demo
cratio candidate over Johnston the whig candi
date, and we shall always rejoice at the tri
umph of every democrat, who may be true
to the South and the country, over any and
every whig, who is opposed to the compro
mise and faithless to the constitution ana the
laws of the Government. We shall also urge
unceasirg opposition to any and all democrats
who are opposed to the compromise and the
faithful f bscrvance and execution of its pro
visions. Hence we regret the defeat of Vin
ton of Ohio, a whig, by Wood, a democrat,
because Vinton is a compromise man and
Wood is a freesoiler, and was elected by the
freesoilers of that State, who held the balance
of power. The great danger to the Govern
ment is not at the South, at our elections have
fully shown. We have done our duty, and
done it nobly. The danger is at the North.
There, both the old parties have succombed
to the spirit of abolitionism and fanaticism, and
in many cf the Northern St-tes, the power of
the free soilers controls the elections. The
true pclioy of the South, therefore, is to sus
tain the good and true men of the North, who
will purge themselves of this dangerous ele
ment, and who will stand by the constituti n
and nt all hazard maintain the authority, peace
and permanency of the Government. The
Clipper says:
“The result of the election hr Governor of
Pennnsylvaiiia, so far as known, shows, that
Governor Johnston is defeated cy a large ma
jority. This result is neither unexpected nor
undesired by u*. *ahe convention which no
ininated Gov. Johnson for re election, dec ined
to recognize the compromise measures of
Congress, embracing the fugitive law, as
obligatory in the several States; and thus left
the subject of slavery open for future agitation,
Gov. Johnston himself had pocketed a bill
which had liaised both houses of ’he Pennsylva
nia Legislature, granting the use o' the State
prisons forthe confinement of fugitive slaves,
and thus prevented it from becoming a law;
and in other respects exhibited an abolition
feeling hostile 'o the permanency of the Union,
and to the beat interests of the country—and
we therefore expected that he would be repu
diated by ’.he people of Penmylvania, and re
joice that.by rejecting him as Governor, they
have stamped his principles with their disap
probation, and thus proved, that their attach
ment to their country is paramount to their de
votion to party. The decis on gives the South
assurance, that Pennsylvania will maintain the
Constitution as it is,and reipcci Southern rights
as guarantied by that instrument.
“Col. Bigler, the democratic candidate, t ok
manly ground. He openly proclaimed his de
termination, if elected, to carry iuto effect the
fugitive slave law, and to afford every facility
to owners to recover their property. The issue
was fairly made before the people, whether the
Union should or should not be preserved—
(for the non eiecu’.inn of the fugitive slave
law would produce dissolutions—and the de
cision is such as we anticipated and hoped—in
favor of the Union. This will be gratifying to
the South, and is a rebuke to the ultra aboli
tionists of the Ncrth Had the contest be’n
totally divested ofparty influences and consid
erations, we believe that the majority for Col
Bigler, large as it is, would have been gready
increased.”

From the N. o. Picayune
From YuoMan,
We have before us a file of the Merida Siglo
DirxyAuCTSup to October 3d. This is the of
final paper of Y ucatan. and though the numbers
we have in our possession are rather bare of
news, we have endeavored to glean from them
something of interest relative to the present
condition of the Peninsula.
In the Siglo of August 22d, we find a letter
duted atPeto, which gives a sad account of the
ravages which have been committed by the in
surgent Indians in that distrlc*. The town of
Poto, like all those which had fallen into the
power of the Indians is almost ruined. Every
where the disastrous effects ot the war are seen.
Families which had once been wealthy are now
reduced to poverty, the fields are deserted, crops
are scarcely raised, and in fact there are not per
sons enough to till the soil. Howevet, it ap
pears that the tide of war has now turned in fa
vor of the whites. Gen. La Vega is conducting
the campaign with energy, and has rercued a
large district from the power of the insurgents.
Another letter dated August 22d, gives an ac
count of a serious revolt which had broken out
among the soldiers at Tibovuco. It appears that
Lol. Kosade had ordered two soldiers to be pun
ished. Some of the others tried to prevent the
t um C, ?, l . On Os the . ? e ” ,enc e> and thus a serious
difficulty arose, which was not easily suppressed
Gen. La Vega marched to the scene of distur
bance with a hundred men and succcdedin re
storing tranquility. He then issued an order de
daring that all persons who might revolt, or
cause a revolt in the army would instantly be
hung.
W U learn from still another letter of the same
correspondent that D. JoseCaruto Vela, cura of
Isatnal, was abcut to proceed to the lines of the
rebels in order to endeavor to negotiate a peace
with them. Much pood is expected from his
mission, as it is thought that his holy office will
carry great influence with it. This does not look
as though the whites were having evsrythine
their own way.
Vela was to be accompanied on his embassy by
a commission composed of seven members be
sides himself.
A fight had taken place between the Indiana
and Government troops in the canton of Kam
poche, in which the latter claimed a decided vic
tory.
Gen. La Vega has given orders for all the pris
oners taken by the troops to be immediately set
at liberty. J
Further news from the seat of war is contain
ed in a letter from Peto, (which appears to be
La Vegas head quarters) dated Sept. 3d. This
asserts that frequent skirmishes take plaeo be
tween the whites and Indians, in which the lat
ter always come off second best
One of the principal difficulties in the way of
a successful prosecution of the war was the want
of a good map of the scene of operations. It
appears that the only one they had was one pub
lished in this city in 1849. They are now getting
up a new one on an extensive scale.
Melancholy Accident.—lt is with painful
emotions that we record the sudden and unex
pected death, on Monday last, of Lewis Le-
Conte, of Liberty county, by the discharge
of his own gun. As far as wo are informed,
the circumstances of this melancholy affair
are as follows : Mr. LeConte left his resi
dence at Walthourville in his buggy to visit his
plantation some ten or twelve miles distant.
He took with him his gun charged with buck
shot. Within a short time after be had left his
home his horse was found in the road near his
s'antation, by one of his servants, with the
and no one it. This circumstance cre
a'ed surprise, when some ot hie servants im
mediately returned with the buggy, m search
of their master. The/ had not proceeded far
before they found him lying lifeless in the
road.
The horse appears not to have been fright
ened, but proceeded on until he reached the
second bridge, in ascending which, the body
fell from the buggy, where it was found, the
horse continuing on to the plantation. We
further learn that the clothing of the deceased
was set on fire, and that one of his arms was
somewhat burnt. The clothing of one of his
legs was also much chafed and torn by the
wheels of the buggy, before he was thrown
out—thus leaving no doubt that the accident
bad occurred before he reached the second
bridge, wore he was found. The charge of
the gun consisted, we are informed, of a pat
tent wire cartridge, containing nine buckshot.
The verdict ol the jury was in accordanee
with these facit.
Mr. Le Conte was in the vigour and prime
of manhood, lie possessed a tt-one mind,
bi hly cultivated. Honorable in his deport
meni, kind and conciliating in his social rela
tions, he was endeared to, and shared largely
in, the confidence and regard of his numerous
friends. He has left an afflicted wife, four
small children, and a large circle of relatives,
to mourn his untimely end, and their irrepara
ble loss Whileastuden at college, the de
ceased attached himself to the Presbyterian
church, and, in bis life, he illustrated the graces
of “faith, hope, and charity.”

Murder.— On Friday evening last, at East
Point in this county, a difficulty occurred be
tween a man by the came of Raterree and two
young men by the name of Conally, in which
one of them. Thomas Conally, was killed,
and the other, John Conally, was dangerously
wounded.
We understand that the three young men
had met at a house of bad character, when a
dispute arose, and Retterree drew a pistol and
shot Thomas Conally, througe ; and thenfrred
upon John Conolly, wounding him danger
ously in the breast.
Raterree has made his escape, and a reward
of S3OO has been offered for his apprehension.

AsbTurn Disaster at Plauvemirz.— On
Tuesday nlgktlast, says the Plaquemine Senti
nel, a cave occurred on Fourth street, commen
cing at the mouth of the Bayou and extending
dawn ns far as Fenn’s alley, a distance of some
two hundred and flfly yards. Fortunately no
houses were subme-ged by the cave; but the
space which will be necessary for the construc
o! a new and substantial levee, will cause many
a valuable mansion to be torn down. Several
proprietors have already commenced extirpating
their domicils to build again, we presume, on a
more secure spot. The loss by this sad disas
ter is computed to be immensely great.—2V. O.

Thk Small Pox.—Wo are informed that a
second ease oi Small Pox has been developed
on the Knoville Road, about three miles fom
this City. It is slated that it was communicated
by persons improperly visiting tbe Academy
where the other case exis'ed. We understand,
however, that guards have been stationed
around the premises, with strict orders to al
low no one to enter, except the attending
Phys cianv There has been no case nearer
the city than the above; and with proper vigil
ance, we see no reason why it may not be
confined to its present limits. We pledge
ourselves not to deceive lhe public in regard
to this matter. We will state ** the truth, lhe
whole truth, and no'hing but the truth ” in
regard to it. and will use all due diligence to
obtain lhe facts. Thus far, there is no danger
to persons vieititg the place, as no case has
existed here. — Journal if Messenger.

Dr. Paul F. Eve.—We learn from the
Nashville papers, that Paul F. Eve, M. D.,
formerly Professor of Surgery in tho Georgia
Medical College, has been selected to fill the
same Chair in the Medical University of Nash
ville. Dr. Eve has won a distinguished repu
tation by yearr of strict derotion to business
and by almost unive. sal success in tbe prac
tice of bis profession, ft would be matter of
deep regret if his ripe experience and distin
guished services should be lost to his native
Slate. We are pleased, however, to learn
that he only contemplates remaining in Nash
ville a part of each year—that Augusta will be
regarded as his permanent home, and that our
citizens may s ill hope to avail themselves of
his skillful and humane attentions.
Dr Evo will also be associated with Dr-
Bowling, as joint Editor of the Nashville
Journa'of Medicine and Surgery—a periodi
ca! conducted with decided ability, and which
re most cordially commend to the patronage
of lhe profession. In No V. aad Vol II of
ths Journal, we notice quite an interesting
paper on the trea'ment ot a "wound of the In
ternal Mammary Artery ” The party treated,
is well known in Georgia, and we have no
doubt that the particulars wi'l be read with
interest by the public, as well as by gentlemen
of lhe lancet and scalpel.— Jour. If Mete.
Th* Congres’lojcal Districts—We de
sire to call the a ten’ion of members of the
Legislature to the immense di parity in the
votes cast in he several Congressional Dis
tricts. There are eigtr Districts. r l he whole
vote cast fcr wa» a- follows, viz: in
the Ist District, 8 29U; in the 2nl. 15 092<
in the 3rd, 11 SC4 ; in the 4th. 13,351 ; in the
stb, 21,363 ; in the 6h, 9,756 ; in the 7ib,
6 709 ; in the 8 h,7,242—making a grand total
of 93 667 votes.
From this, it will be s en 'hat the sth Dis
trict casts nearly one fourth of the entire vole
of the State. It p Ils nearly as many votes as
tbe first, seventh and eighth districts taken
together. This dispari y may be accounted
for, in part, by the operation of the federal
bas s. By reference to the last census, how
ever, it will be seen that tie apportionment is
grossly unequal and unjust; and ought to
receive the early attention of the next legis
lature. Under the late census it becomes
particularly the doty of tnat body, to re
organize and equalize the Districts. We
hop® this wII be done fairly and honestly,
without any attempt at gerrymandering. The
Districts ought to be made as eompac tis
possible and to be particularly arranged with
reference to the speedy and safe transmission
of intelligence to some central point in each,
as well as to some central point in the State.—
