Correspondent* <tf the Charleston Standard.
Havana, Sept. 20,1854.
The details of a “Criminal soil” as they term it
here, have within a few days been made known to
me, which as they wiil enable your readers to ar
rive at a tolerably correct conclusion as to the
manner in which justice, (P it beuot a desecration
of tho word, to term it such) is administered in
this “Gem oi Antilles,”—l uuhositatiugly send
you.
Some eight or ten months since Senior —, who
resided at a village a few miles hence, received an
anonymous letter, threatening him that unless be
depo.-iied a certain number of onzis beneath a par
ticular tree ou a specifi d mortiing, his life should
bo violently taken from him. Scared at the
threat contained in this letter, the Senor hasten
ed with it to the “Captain of tnePartido,” who ad
vised that Senor—.should pretend to bury the
0 ,,-js beneath the tree on the specified morning,
and that on the succeeding night, the two should
secrete themselves near by, uud thus they would
detect the scoundrel who had written the letter.
Accordingly on the specifijd morning Senor
vreut to the tree, dug a hole and buried a parcel,
w Niob did not contain ouzos; the hole being care
fully covered over. On the evening of that day,
the Caotain ot the Psrlido and Senor—secreted
themselves in the vioinity of the tree, in a posi
tion whonoe its base could bo seen, whilst they
we*e entirely out of sight. They had not been ou
the watch much over an hour, when a man was
seen with stealthy steps approaching the ties
which having reached, be commenced digging up
earth from the spot where the parcel war. burie J .
He was hailed with the words n Vivo" (who
goes,) his reply was a Pistol Shot fired in the di
rectiou, wheuoe the words proceeded; the “shot”
however did not perform thec-raud it was intend
ed to have done. Thus attacked the two watches,
did not hesitate, but returned the compliment in
tended for them in “kind.” Their pistols were
discharged with truer aim, and .he scoundrel was
shot cead on the spot.
Shortly after this the widow of tho man, whose
life had (as it appears to my unprejudiced mind)
been most justly taken, came to Havana, and avail
ing herself ot the services of one ot those “Harpies
oi the Liw,” (with which this city is more terribly
than any m which 1 have betoro dwelt)
aud instituted a “Criminal Suit” agairst Senor
. . and the “Captain ot the Partido;” which,
to mike a long Btory short, resulted in the latter
being discharged from his appointment, but bsing
an c fuser, he was permitted to go at liberty, (upon
his parol.) whilst tue unfortunate Senor was
torn from the bosom of his family and thrust into
a prison, where he remains to this present hour.
And this is here called justice! "Protection” too
to the ipprss=e i, ave “such protection” (as Sheri
dan feiiei ously ob erved “as Vultures show to
lamb*.” To give, however, the Marquis de la Pe
dicle his due, this injustice was perpetrated during
the period of the government of his predecessor!
but still, the unfortunate Senor has been in
prison daring the entire period of the residence
of the Marquis in this Island.
On Sunday last there was a grand procession at
Regis in honor ot N uestra Senora de Kegla, the pa
tron Saintess of that town, and of the the Marines
in Cuba, who join the procession in I
had intended to have crossed the Bay, to have
witnessed the procession, but the threating aspect
of the clouds deterred me. At about quarter after
5 o’clock, the Brigadier of'Mnrines landed at Regia
and he was sabred with eleven g ins upon his
embarkation.— this salute gave rise to a report
which gained credenca, ti.at our new Captain
General Jose Concha arrived, and bundreas in
consequence hastened to the wharf, although the
rain descended heavily at the time. I had net
previously conceived the Spanish inhabitamsof
Cuba capab e'ot manifesting so muchenlhusiasni as
they have exhibited since the report of General
Jose Concha to be Captain General of Cuba has
been confirmed. After having issued directions to
prevent the intended manifestation to Gene»al
Concha upon his arrival, the Marquis de la Przu
el* (good easy man,) bes been teaz-d into granting
his consent to the Spaniards doing whatever
might be most agreeable to them. They in con
sequence have commenced tLeir preparations in a
most extravrgant style. The Calle L>e la Murella
which is inhabited entirely by Spaniards, is one
continued series of arches ofyellow red and calico, j
which are. 1 uuders’aud, to be covtrd with Palm
Branches. The Calle de Salt'd, outsidejhe walls, a!
so exihibits simitar symptoms of preparations ; in- I
deed ihere is scarcely a Cade within or without
the walls of this city, but exhibi’s many high flag
staffs, painted like barber’s polls, upon which
large fl igs, (Spaniard of course,) arc to be hoisted
upon General Conoha’s arrival. The celebrated
Rbs r aurat, the “Dominic*” has seven of these flag
sisfls < reeled. A splendid new cirriage, just im
ported from England, with four beautiful Ameri
ctn horses, very eleg nt silvor mounted harnes
ses aud gorgeous liveri e for his servants are to be
presented to the General upon his arrival. There
are to be general illuminations for the three nights
succeeding that happy period. Indeed the pre
parations which have been commenced, although
not constant, with my iedeas of good taste, me
nevertheless very splendid.
This letter has been commenced in advance of
the arrival of tbo Governor Dudley, and aa it is
more than probable that Gen. Concha will arrive
before her departure. I de.er its conclusion until
the latest hour, so as to include some account
of what I may witness, as well as any other cir
cumstances of interest that may transpire in the
interim.
Havana, September 2lßt.
The foregoing, yon wi'l perceive, was written
ye-terday, previously to the arrival of the steamer
from Charleston. It was, not until after her arri
val that I ascertained the lamentable iff-cts of the
recent etorm upon your city—the destruction of
that beautiful Battery, and ot the vast amount of
Other property that was destroyed. However, the
energy and enterprise of the citizens of Charts
ton are proverbial—and 1 hope to live longenough
to see jet moresuostaulial and beautiful structures
arise upon the sites of those destroyed.
The Gaceta of the 16th inst. contains a paragraph
of which the lollowing is a translation. It is prin
ted in larger type than the other portions ol the
paper, and in the most conspicuous position.—
Thus evincing that the circumstance announced
in it is considered as a triumph or victory gained
over the United States instead of being a simple
act of honest justice, and an example to Spain,
wnmh, were she desirous to retain the sligutest
pretensions to an honorable character, sho would
act wisely were she to follow ! But for the
Translation,
“ The most exoellcnt Senor, the Captain Gen
eral, has received from tho Minister Plenipoten
tiary of Her Majesty in the United States, the
following communication:
“ LEGATION or SPAIN IN WASHINGTON.”
“ Most Excellent Sir: I have the honor to make
known to you that, according to the 8 cretary of
Foreign Affairs lias informed mo ou the 12th cur

of reparation and justice, has directed the remit
tance to the District Attorney, Mr. Moise, the
amount of $2,500, to be placed at the disposal of

Spaniards to tremble and to rejoct tho avidity with

P. 8, I have but time to add, that Gen. Concha
has arrived.
Havana, September 22, 1954.
Much to my surprise, I ascertained yesterday
afternoon after my letter was mailed, that tho “Go
vernor Dudley” would not take her departure
until this afternoon, although the usual period for
her to depart was last evoning, as I was informed
by her officers upon her arrival that she would
leave at live o’clock, P. M., on the 21st, I hastened
to have my letter prepared and dropped in her
mail bag previous to that hour. My surprise was
increased yesterday, at receiving the intormatiou
that Gen. Concha would land at throe P. M., on
that day, so hastening the most important busi
ness of life—ruy dinner—l took my station in a
position to witness all that transpired, and al
though I was driving about until two o’clock this
morning, 1 am now at seven A. M., at my desk in
order to send you an account of what transpired
yesterday.
At about five minutes before three o’clock, the
Marquis de la P. zaela in full uniform, left tho
Palace accompanied by an aid-de-camp, aud fol
lowed by the Mayors of the first, second and third
“elections” in their splendid crimson velvet robes,
and all the members of the Ayuntamiento, and a
numerous retinue of officers, to march to the wharf
te receive General Concha upon his landing. Tho
Marquis wore a pleasing smile upon his counte
nance, saluted the old veteran officers at tho head
of their regiments, which were formed in singlo
file on both sides of the streets, from tho Palace to
tho wharf. Tho Marquis, however, studiously, as
j it appeared to me, avoided passing beneath the
j triumphal arch, erected at the end ot the residence
of Count Santo Venio, (I am not certain as to tho
correctness of orthography in spelling this nemo,)
on the side of the Plaza opposite the Palace. Mean
while the guus of the “Francisco de Asis,” the
Spanish steamor which t ronght General Concha
to this Island, announced that he had entered the
Barge, which conveyed him to tho shore.
The Marquis de la Pezuela was on the wharf to
receive his successor, whom he sainted upon his
landing with a warmth that to me appeared hypo
critical, considering that ho recently styled him
“one of the fewest and worst of Spaniards.” A
loud “viva” reul the air us Concha landed. The
military bands struck up a national soul stirring
air, and the two Generals walking side by side,
f 1 owed by a brilliant Cortege, marched to the
Palace. The General Concha bore a contemptu
ous expression of countenance which forbodes but
little good to the inhabitants of this Bland, (or I
i m much mistaken;) he wore a pair of long jack
1 oot* and a wide red sash, whilst Pezuoln wore u
blue sash and the walking uniform of a General.
Tho conduct of the latter has been all that is rnag
i aulmous and like the thorough gentleman ! Ho
had a splendid dinner prepared for Concha aud
his staff at the Palace, where having performed
the duties of host for the Dot time, he unostenta
ciously took his departure by tho side (North) en
trance of the Palace in a private carriage and went
to his country residence where ne still remains.—
At the front of the Palace there stood a splendid
new carriage with fonr beautiful American horse*
in elegant harness, andjthree servants in scariet
liveries. In this carriage, the heads of tho two
leading horses of which wore adorned with red
and yellow feathers, Gen. Concha accompanied by
an aid-de-camp was driven to the “Real Andien
cia” where before his direst enemy, Senor Olaueta,
he took the oath of office. Reluming to the Palace,
the crowd continued crying out “viva Concha,”
undl he made his appearance in tho balcouy and
bowed repeatedly, which appearently satnfltd
them ! I have omitted to state that as the prooes
| sion passed the south side of the Palace, a large
bill with doggrel verses printed on yellow and red
| paper was distributed amongst the crowd in great
| numbers. I translate the first and last four lines
I of it in order to give yon a “taste of its quality.”
TIIE SPANISH A BIAS.

LIVE THE GENERAL CONCHA.

In the course of the rhymes, for poetry it is not.
General Concha is termei the “Star of Honor.”
The conclusion is as follows:
“ And not in vain gua r d Concha—
“Asa grief to the Brute Annexator
“ The Pearl of tne A miller,
“ And the tomo of Columbus!”
Mere sound without sense—“ Vox et pretaren
nihil." In the evening scarcely a house in the
city but what was illuminated. The streets were
as light as day. Flags and festoons of red and
yeliow calico, silk and rihbonß were seen decora
ting every doorway, and Chinese crackers stunned
the ear at ever step. From the roof of the Palace
numerous sky rocke's were discharged at r ight.
The band of the bth Regiment discoursed most
eloquent music in the Plaza de Armes until 11
o’clock. The Plaza was crowded with ladies and
the masses, who, by their shouts of “Viva Concha,”
brought the General more than once to the Balcon.
Ho is accompanied to this Island by his wife,
three children, four servants aud tho following
named officers: Don Juan Sune, Secretary Gen
eral; Don Joaquin Manzmo, Marshal of the
Camp; Scnoree Brigadiers Don Joaquin Morales
de Radii and Don Jose Ignacio Chevarri; Com

Commandante of Engineers, I on Antonio Pala

Tno cards have been shuffled, and who can say
what evontß aro yet betoro us, however, i>, v., if
health be spared me and Gonoral Concha does not
imprison and banish me, I shall faithfully record
all that comes within my knowledge for tbo benefit
of the readers of the Charleston Standard.
Yours, ever faithfully. Hudson.

Interment* for the Week.
Though tho deaths this week number 00 less
than those of last week, the fever still continues
epidemic, and we hear of many now oases every
day. The absence of an increase in the number
of interments is cinsed by the want of subjects for
the pestilence. Our friends abroad should remem
ber that the appearance of one swallow doe 3 not
make a summer, any more than a temporary lull
in an epidemic prove the cessation of the same;
and they should not think of returning before
winter has fully set in. Below will be found the

A decision recently made in tho Marino Court,
New York, establishes that shipowners are re
sponsible for tho loss or miscarriage of the bag
gage or clothing of passengers. A trunk contain
ing clothing was supposed to have been stolen by
Borne of tho crow of a vessel, and the plaintiff
proving tho loss, obtained a judgdmont against
the owners of the ship.
An immense amount of lraud and corruption
covered over by perjury, has been discovered in
the management of tho New York prisons. Com

some of the officers examined have been arrested
for perjury in giving their testimony.
Locust Devastation in Central America. —
The Gaceta of Costa Rica calculates tho destruc
tion of locusts iu that country,iu consequence of
tho measures dictated by tho government, at 150,-
400,000 insects. Up to the 24th ot July, 8,000
sacks ot the iubects, weighing each 60 pounds, had
been presented for the purpose of obtaining the
bounty offered by the government for their de
struction.
The Ladies North aro introducing what is called
au “ Ugly,” as a compensation for the ir flnitossi
mally small bonnets now worn. The “Ugly” is
nothing more than whst years ago used to bo term
ed a “ calash.” The “ Ugly” is lo the head what
a top is to a gig, or a chaise. The “Ugly” lets up
and down like one of those tops. Tho “ Ugly” is
of a d fferent color from tho bonnet, and it might
be called a parasol, a veil, or anything else, des
criptive of what hides or shades the face. Ladies,
hence, now often wear two bonnets on their head
instead of one.
Heavy Lawsuit. — We learn from tho St. Louh
Intelligencer ttiat a suit has been instituted against
Mr. Linn, the Surveyor of tho port of St. Louis,
by Belcher & Brother, sugar refiners, for the re
covery of duty allegod to havo been illegally as
sessed and collected on “concentrated molasses,”
imported into the Uuitod States by that firm from
< aba. These duties have been pai i . ndcr protest
for two or three years past, and if the principle
of the case is settled on this trial, by a verdict in
favor of tiie plaint ffj, it will require restitution of
a large amount of money from the Treasury of the
United States.
Among tho bills passed at the last session ol
Congress, was one appropriating $1,500 to the
veterau geographer, Wo. Darby, iu full compen
sation for his labor, and for materials furnished in
making a map ot tho territory of Louisiana in tho
years 1812 and 1818. Mr. Darby was the first to
luruish au accurate map of that portion of the ter
ritory ol the United States lyin west of the Mis
sissippi, and bordering on the lino between tho
j United Statos and Spain, ns fixed by the treaty
; ceding Louisiana to the United States.
The Corn Crop. —Tho news from various sec
tions of the country respecting the crops, renders
it probable that there will be a full nveraga of the
corn crop about which thoro has been so much
concern. The large area of land sown in conso
quonca of the late high prices of breadstuffs has
probably more than made up for tho injuries to
the crop iu the several sections of country where
tho drought has prevailed. The advices, since the
late rains, from North Carolina and other sections
of tho South where large crops of corn are raised,
are very encouraging.
Spontaneous Combustion. —A fire broke out two
or three days ago in the mansion of J. Van Rons*
se’ar, of Saratoga Springs, which originated in
a heap of rags saturated with linsoed oil, spirits
turpentine, and coloring matter used in stainiDg
window sashes. The fire was extinguished with
out much damage. Mr. Van Rensselsr prepared
some rags satuarated with a like mixture, and put
ting them safely away, in a few hours they hrol e
out into fiarnes. This fact is interesting to paint
ers, colorers, insurance companies, and all con
cerned.
It is said that General Santa Anna has instruct

It is stated thatSoloque, or Faustin I, tho black

of a citizen of St. Louis, who frequently receives
friendly messages from him. The St. Louis Dem

antly surprised with tho receipt of several bugs of
CollTe and a package of sugar, accompanied by
quite an affectionate lottor from his Imperial ma

Lieut. W. A. Bartlett writes to tho Now York

The Bt. Louis Democrat, of the 18th instant, re
ceived last night, gives the full part culars ol] the
terrible Indian massacro near Fort Laramie, a
brief telegraphic account of which has already been
furnished to our readers. The Democrat’s ac
count is as follows:
A Mormon emigrant who was travelling the
road left, it seems, a lanio cow which was nn b e
totraveland nn old Bioux Indian, be'orgiDg to
tho baud of Minnecongou, found it upon tho road
side and killed it. The Mormon stopped with
his wagons at Fort Laramie, and so soon as he
leartiedthaf it had been killed he made complaint
to the officer at»ho Fort and demanded redress.
The officer in command, Lieut. Fleming, when
tho story was told to him, at once sent for the
head chief of the Sioux—Matteiowan, the Bear,
and demanded that tho Minnecongou Indian
should be delivered up. Matteiowan informed
him that if be would seud a file of soldiers he would
endeavor to have the Indian surrendered. Lieut.
Fleming then ordered out Lieut. Grattan with
twenty-two men, and the U. S. Interpreter, Au
guste Lucian, to accompany the Sioux chief to the
Minnecongou village which was sitnated some
miles below iho Fort, near Burdeau’s House. The
Lieutenant, with his command marched down,
taking with him two six-pounders and planted
them in the Wa zha zie camp, whero tho Indian
iu question was lodged. Matteiowan then went
into the village and demanded the Indian, but the
chiefs would not listen to him. They told him
that they would pay for tho cow, or they would
replace it, or would leave tho mutter to be settled
by the Ag*-nt whan he cami; but that they would
rather be killed themselves than give up the In
dian. Matteiowan returned, mado his statement
to Liout. Grattan—told him if he wanted the In
dian he would havo to go and kill him, as ho was
unable to get him, and then roturned to the Sioux
camp.
Lieut. Grattan had replied that if there was any
killing to bo done he would attend to that matte?
and accordingly immediately ranged his pieces of
artillery, and commenc 'd firing upon the Village.
Three or four muskets were also fired at the satim
time, but the only result was to knock tho toy < if
of one of tho lodges, and to wound Mal’teiowuu
and Lis brother, who were standing in tront—the
former with three balls, the latter with one. So
soon as tho troops fired, tho Indians returned and
poured upon them a shower ol arrows. The first
discharge killed Lieut. Grattan, who was standing
by the side of the cannon. As soon as he fell, his
command at once lost heart, and attempted to fiy
—leaving their cannons, arms and everything else.
The Sioux then charged upon the lining f oldiors,
and shot, aud tomahawked every man of them
save ono who made his escape by taking down a
ravine, and thus getting out of sight. The inter
preter who was with the party, Augusto Lucien,
who had married a Sioux squaw, jumped upon his
horso and attempted to make his escape. Ho sue
oeeded in getting rid of his immediate pursuers
and in making acirolo around the camp, but in
stead of striking for the prairie he very foolishly
attempted to run through the Brulio camp, which
was directly between him and tho Fort, and which
was already alarmed by the firing. The result wu.-,
that an Indian ran out and shot his horse with his
rifle, and then came upon him with Ids tomahawk.
Lucien cried out to him, not to kill him as ho was
a Sioux by marriage, but the only reply the Indian
made was to bury his hutohet in his head. The
soldier who escaped down the ravine was found by
a Sioux named “Black Heart,” and owed his life
to his assistance iu getting him back to tho Fort
during the night.
The tragedy occurred on the afternoon of the
10th of August, and it was not until tho next
morning, that news of it ret-chod tho Fort. Tho
Sioux thou so. t word to the Commandant to sona
out some more of his men to bury his dead, and
they would serve them the same way. They also
wont into the depot of the American Far Compa
ny* which was near theii camp, and whore tho an
nuity of goods ($50,000 worth) were in store, and
turned them upon the plain, and divided them
out. L'eut. Fleming, upon consultation sentsom;
five or six of the traders down to see the Si< ux and
to bury tho dead, but they told the traders very
explicitly that tho quarrol wa one in which they
were concerned, and they had better keep out of
it, and then drove them back to the Fort. Tho
consequence was that when the messenger
loft, the dead bodies were still lying exposed on
the plains, only two, those of Lucien, and another
having beon buried by two returning Californians
who ventured to execute the hazardous task lor
$25 a piece.
Nothing fur* her has been heard from the Fort
I tho present fine, and it would seem that the re
port iba’ the Sioux had surrounded Laramie is not
confirmed.
hAVANNAii Items.—Wo clip from the Republican
of vt odnesday the following interesting items:
Lei.. W . r. D. Dalzell. —The reader has doubt
less observed Iho duuio of this gentleman in the
proceedings of the Yeung Men’s Benevolent As
saciation. lie is a Scotchman by birth—s ng
man, and has but lately arrived in this country
from the West Indies, where be had a i appoint
merit in the English E-mcopal Church. Soon utter
reaching the United Slut*"*, iso was called to tho
charge of Iho Episcopal Ctiurehin Columbus, Ga.,
recently vacated by the election of the Rev. Mr.
Scott to be Missionary Bishop in Oregon. Hear
ing on his arrival in Columbus, of the great mor
tality iu Savannah, he came hither to offer his
services to Bishop Elliott and to render such aid
to the sick as lay in his power. Having passed
through the yellow fever in the West Indies, he
has beon able to do immense good here, and will
long bo romembered by our people for his minis
trations and indefatigable attentions. We com
mend him to tho hearts of the people of Coinm
bns w en he shall have returned to them, assuring
I them that he has passed through the fire aud
i proved to be file gold.
Dr. T. D. Mathews, o! Beaufort, South Carolina,
has arrived in Savannah, for tho purpose ot clTer*
ing his professional services to the sick, and may
be found for the present at tho office of Dr. Fick
lin. Ho comes highly recommended ; but b >yond
and above this, is the benevolence and the hero
ism that induced him to coma to our aid at a time
like this, which is a far higher recommendation
than anything man can say.
Among those who havo como to the relief of
our sick is Mr. J. G. Misehailoffsky, of Mont
gomery, Alabama. Ho is a Polo by birt 1 -, is a
very intelligent gentleman, and has had much ex
perience in yellow fever in Pensacola and other
places.
Dr. McKinley, a physician of Louisiana, arrived
last evening to offer his professional services to
citizens during tho prevalence of the epidemic.
Db. LkYert.—This gentleman, n* wo learn by a
letter from him to a friend iu this city,would havo
come to Savannah to aid our sick, but for tho ap
pearance of the epidemic in Mobile.
Tho following singular account of a practice now
current in England of mutilating the Bible, is
copied from a Liverpool papor. The statement
was made by a clergyman of that city, as we judge,
to his congregation, on tho 8d of September last:
“There seems good reason for believing that
imperfect Bibles aro quito common, lnsomewhole
Chapters appear to be missing; mothers particu
lar texts aro not to bo found ; so that a complete
copy of the Scriptures is very rare. It may bo
well to mention a few of the deficiencies most fre
quently occurring:
1. In a geat many Bibles tho XI. Chapter of Ist
Corinthians from the 23d verso to tho end is al
together wanting, besides two or three passages iu
the Gospels. In this church tl'ce must be moro
than a hundred Bibles out of which those leaves
have been lost,
2. Another passage often missing is the VI.
Chapter of St. Matthew, from the 10th veisi to
the end. Indeed, tho whole of the Sermon on tho
Mount is frequently torn, and tne allegory of the
two houses at tho end of it almost rubbed out.
8. All the texts which speak of “perfecting” or
“ finishing a work—as Psalms CXXXVIII. 8; or
Phillippians I. 6—aro not to be lo'md in many
copies. In others, such verses as Luke XI. 10,aro
partly or wholly lost.
4. Stid more remarkable is tho fact that tho de
ficiencies in Bibles aro different at different times
At present tho parts which it is becoming tho
fashion to tear out aro, tho 46th verse of Matthew
XXV.; the 11. of Colossians from the 16th to 20tLi
verie; the former pure of 11. Timothy 111. 16.
The 111 of St. John’s Gospel and the first Chapter
of his first Epistle are always perfeot.”
A decision has just been mado by the Court of
Common Pleas iu New York city, which is of pret
ty general interest. It is known that the whole
sale merchants of Now York have nn agent in every
town and village of importance in the country
whoso traders purchase their goods in that city.
These agents inform themselves as to the standing
of said traders, aud report accordingly. Tho case
just tried was between a house in Co'ambus, Mis
sissippi, as plaintiff', and tho New York agent in
that place, as the defendant; and suit was brought
to recover damages for an allegod libel on the part
of defendant, in having written disparagingly of
the plaintiff'. The issue has now been tried for
the second time, the defendant having, on tho first
trial, been mulcted in damages to" $6,000, and
moved for a now trial on the ground of the rejec
tion of legal evidence. No new facts, however
were elicited, and the jury rendered a verdict for
the plaintiffs for tho sum of SSOO.
A Danoerous Road to Ride Upon.—Tho Direc
tors of the Great Western (Canada) Railroad have
stationed eighty day and night Watchmen on tho
track of their road wherever it is not fenced, for
the purpose of kreping off cattle and hogs. The
Hamilton Spec ator, speaking in reference to the
necessity ot this movement, says : “Scarcely an
engine comes in, but the cow catcher appears as if
it had been cleaning up the offd of a slaughter
house; and oue day last week, being at the depot
when the train arrived, we heard the engine dri
ver boast that ‘this had been a good trip—he had
killed three cows near London on the downward
trip, and ft sow and ten pigs on returning from the
Falls."

Useful Invention.—Th e enormous quantities of
scoria cast a~ida daily, from the blast furnaces of
the iron works of the South Wa ts coal fields, are,
it appears, about to be turned to stood and useful
I account, by the ingenuity of Dr. Smith, of Phiia-
I delphia. This gentleman, with a stall of as.-istunt
chemists, had, tor some tune been staying at Mer
! ihyr, w.th u view of experimenting upon the blast
! furnace scoria, with the ultimate object of produ
cing therefrom a variety of artic es m daily use,
j *n«h as square tiles, paving flags, bottles and uteu
{ t-ils in ordinary domestic use, and we are glad to
1 state, that in thus converting the lurnace cinder,
| Dr. Smith has been very successful. he hot Its
! thus made are much tougher and the amealment
| is more periect than in the common glass ones,
j from which, in their appearance, the new bottles
cannot bo distinguished. It is a most important
invention and has been taken up by Lady Char
lotto Guest, and others interested in the Iron
Works. Huge heaps, containing thousands upon
thousands of tons of furnace cinders, have been
deposited. —London Sun.
_ A singular Trial is now in pr. g ess iu one of tin
Iro idence (R. 1 courts. Some time since a
young lawer 01 Providence was detected at the
Marlboro Hotel in Boston, drcsse.i in woman’s
clothes. His fcmalo wardrobe—a very valuable
one, valued at some hundreds of dollars—was
taken from b m and given into tho hands of a
Providence policeman, who was to give it to the
lawyer’s wife. She being aw >y froth the place, it
was not done, and the owner h; s had the officer
arrested for theft, iu keoping’ho clothes from him.
An amusing list of this clothing was published in
ono ot the Providence patera a few days ago,
which showed a very extensive female outfit.
The case is exiting much interest, as the geut.le
raau, besides being a married man, is a church
member, Sunday school teacher, &z.
Tho receipts of tho Hartford and New Haven
Railroad for tho past year, wore $767 651 61 ; ex

Mr. Pond, the President of the read, having de
clined to receive any compensa’ion tor bis services

was ro elected President, and Horatio Fitch, Se
cretary and Treasurer. A semi-annual dividend
of five per cent was declared, payable on the 2d of
October.
The bcnuYLER Frauds. — Tho Directors of tho
the New York and New Haven Rtiiroad Company
have made a report to the stockholders on the sub
ject of the Schuyler frauds. Fr m this document
it appears that the amount of spurious stock
issued by Robert Schuyler, the Company’s Trans
fer Agent in Now York, is 17,782 shares, ($1 774,-
200.) besides certificates ior 1,808 shares ($180,8«iy)
transferred without surrendering tho original cer
tificates, therefore, now represent no stock on the
books of tho Company. Os the fraudulent stock,
9,288 shares now stand on the books of tho Com
pany, in the names of parties to whom they were
transferred by R. &G. L. Schuyler. The whole
amount of the frauds committed by Schuyler, in
ono way or another, in the name of the C mpany,
or by the misuse of Is obligations, is very nearly
$2,000,009.
On the question whether the spurious stock
should be assumed by the Company, the Direc
tors express no opinion. Their able counsel, how
ever, v,iz: Win. Curtis Noyes and George Wood,
Esqra., in a document appended to the report,
express a decided opinion, that those fraudulent
oeitificates of stocks are illegal and void, and do
not implicate tho Company in any way; and that,
without au Act of the Connecticut Legislature,
together with the assent of the stockholders, the
Company cannot lawfully recognize and adopt
them, as representing shares in the Company, or
entitling the holders to any ot the rights of stock
holders. Beside the issue of spurious stock,
Schuyler aiso accepted two drafts to the amount ot
$20,000, as President of the Company, issued by
E. or G. L. Schuyler to third parties. These ac
ceptunces the directors of course repudiate as
illegal. The report will bo submitted to the stock
kolders at a mooting s o be held in New York on
the 3i of October. Five thousand dollars reward
has been cffjred for tho arrest of Schuyler.— Bait.

Foreign Troops in Mexico.— Alo’ter from Vera
Cruz says: “Every vessel from Havaua now brit gs
us small detachments of Spanish troops. These
distinguished strangers aro looked upon with gr at
distrust by the natives, and it was an evil hour
for H. S. 11. when he listened to the proposition.
It is sai 1 that thore aro six thousand foreign mer
cenaries in all to arrive, of whom two thousand
are. Swiss. One million of the indemnity from the
United States goes in this way. ( ‘Plenty of mon
ey, plenty of Swiss.” And bv the way, but one
million of the entire seven remains unappropria
ted,”
Pee Dee Bridoe. — We are pleased to learn from
the following extract from the Marion, that
the bridge of tte Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad over the Poe Dee is in a near state of com
pletion. Tho cylinders have been finished some
time and there remains but one span of super
structure to be completed, whioh it is expected
will be done by the 15th of Ootober, and be ready
