have inte.-ted all classes of Irish agriculturists, seems
so far to be strengthened by the healthy and promis

prospects of the ensuing Harvest, while all are agreed
that so extensive a breadth of land has not been laid

Disgraceful State of Tilings iu Garrard
County, Kentucky.
A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, writing
from Boyle county, on the 10th inst shows the ex
istence of an unhappy condition of tilings in Garrard
county. He says:
“Some two or three mouths since, a Dr. Evans, liv
ing iu a rattier notorious portion of the county, known
by the name of Sugar Creek Mills, rtiot down, in the
town of Lancaster, the county seat, one of his neigh
bors by the name of Hill. Evans made hie escape with
out being arrested, and is now, it is supposed, in In-
diana. A few days afterwards, the alterin' of the coun
ty, with aposseo consisting in part at least, of the
friends of Hill, went to the house of Evans to take
him. He had already left the county, but his house
was armed and defended by his family and clan, who
fired on the sheriff and possce. Fifteen or twenty or
moro rounds, it is said, were fired ou both sides. At
length a parley was obtained, and the sheriff, having
ascertained that Evans was not at home, left. One or
two men were slightly wounded in this minnture bat
tle.
Since that time the Hills and Evanses have been
armed to the teeth with bowie-knives, revolvers and
guns, Mid their houses perfect garrisons. At lenst
such is the current report, believed to be true. No
oollislsn, however, took place until last Monday, the
first day of the election, when one of the young
Evanses and one of the Hills met accidently on t tc
sidewalk in the town of Lancaster, at or near a stair
way leading from the street into tho second story oi
tho bouso occupied ns a saddler's shop. 1 outig Evans
designed to ascend tho stairs to tile shop. They
drew their pistols mutually, it is said by one report-—
by another, cornin' from Hill himself, however, Ev
ans drew and fired on Hill. The hall struck the han
dle of a pistol in his pocket, which saved ms hie.
ifho Hill gang, whether by accident or design is not
known, were near, and immediately fell upon Evan*
with knives, and cut his throat on each tide and hia
upper lip nearly off, and gave him a severe wound
in the head, and were literally cutting him up, when
his brother, who happened to be above stairs in
the shop mentioned, came to his assistance, nnd
shot down from or near the head of the stairway,
with a revolver, successively, it. Util, Fred. Hill, Win.
Hill jr„ and llenry Sagcny, a brother-in-law. Nu
merous shots were made at him without killing him.
The battle srems to have been over the body of the
other Eva is. who lay wearing In his blood at the bot
tom ot tne stair way, and who was supposed to be
dead None of the five wounded men are, however,
yet dead, and it is thought they may all recover. Ev
ans, the hero of the combat, was taken into custody,
but released, it is said, without trial; perhaps to a-
wnitthe result of the wounds of the Hills.
The facts here stated may not be correct in tho de
tails, but are probably so in the main. 1 have receiv-
sd them from several sources, nnd nmong others
from a gentleman who visited the wounded man,
who waa formerly a neighbor of both pnrties, with a
view of endeavoring to make up the deadly etrite.
He, however, gave it as his opinion thnt it would not
terminate till one or both clans were exterminated.
They still breatho the most deadly vengeance.
The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Bulletin writes that the Russian Minister, M. Bodisco,
has just Issued an imperial uknse, which is addressed
to the citizens of the U. S. and all others whom it may
concern. It is in these words:
“ Literary and scientific works, objects of art, indus
try and natural history, have been sent from all coun
tries to the emperor, and to tile members of the
imperial family, in such numbers that it has been
found necessary to establish certain rules for their ad
mission. Hereafter, and from this date, all persons
wishing to address the emperor or the menibers of
the imperial family are requested to inform the Rus
sian legation of their intentions. In every case the
Russian legation is bound to apply for a special per.
mission, and when received, will advise the inter
ested parties. The observation of these formalities
will bo strictly enforced and no notice whatever will
be taken of those who neglect the above regula
tions.”

Lamartine thus writes iu a late publication on
universal sufferage: , ,
“A day will come, I have no doubt, when the head
of a family will depose in the electoral urn as innuy
votes as there ore old men. women end children at
hli hearth; for in a society better made it ie not the
individual—it is the family which is the permanent
unitv. The individual passes away. Faintly remains

Washington, May 27(4. A seriouB accident occur
red yesterday evening ut the Academy of Visitation
at Georgetown. The wooden pillars supporting the
frame porch, gave way, while a number of teaciiers
and scholars were upon it. Sister Felix had both
legs broken, and a young lady received a dangerous
wound on her bend. Rev. Dr. Ryder nnd several
nuns nnd misses were all somewhat injured, but
none it is thought seriously, except Felix.
Singular Relationship. Josinh Pomeroy and Phebe
C. Farnum intermarried the other day iu Massachu
setts. In this marriage, it is said by the papers, that
a singular relationship takes place. The bridegroom
becomes a brother to a neiee of his, and that noice
becomes sister to an uncle, the bride becomes aunt to
one of her own brothers, and a sister to that brother's
mother-in-law. The brido is aunt to a father and his
children.
PnoDUCE West.—Reported Scarcity.—There is a
great scarcity of flour and grain in the west at this
time. The at. Louis papers, particularly, complain
greatly, and produce is actually going from Cincin
nati tuid Wheeling to thnt place. Arrivals are anxi
ously looked for at St. Louis from the Lakes, nnd
several times lately flour lias reached there from Chi
cago. With reference to this mutter, the St. Louis
Republican, of 18th instant, says :
“ Boats from all the upper rivers come down now
with very little freight. The regular traders on the
Missouri bring but Tittle, and those from the Upper
Mississippi comparatively nothing. The Illinois boats
too, are falling off in the size of their cargoes, nnd
everything goes to show thnt there will be a speedy
close of tile produce business for the present season,
unless our neighbors of the Lakes take it into their
heads to scud lorward more Hour and whent. The
scnrdty of prodnee is the cry from every quarter,
nnd but few in this city remember to have everecen
receipts so light at this season ot the year."

Further Intelligence by the Asia.
The despatches received in London on Friduy, the
17th inst., from Paris,’announce not only the recull of
M. Drouyn de l'Huys, the French Ambassador to the
British government, but his ar.tual arrival in Paris.
Lord Normanby, the English ambassador at the
French Court, had not left thut city. A charge d’af-
fairs has been left in charge of the embassy in Lon
don, precisely as it was before the arrival of M-
Drouyn do l’Huys. The Times Bays :
The tone of the Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord
Palmerston, last nigift, did not warrant any alarm
about the result. But that the sensibility of the
French is deeply wounded, there is no doubt; nnd in
the pro ont critical state of Pans and all France, it
would bo rash to predict that very grave results may.
notenme. , .
It is very probable that the Greek question is made
use of as a pretext for d^gerting the attention of the
French people from the political questions which at
present engross the attention of the Legislature, in
the hope thnt an animated quarrel with England may
gain favor of the French Government with the troops
nnd the people. This conjecture Is strengthened by
the fact thut the announcement of the recall of the
ambassador from London was ri c sived by the Con-
sorva'ives in the French Assembly with frantic ap
plause, whilst the members of the Left remained
silent.
The following explanation was given in the Assem
bly on tile lGtli inst :
The order of the day was the interpellations of M.
Piscatory on the affairs of Greece.
General De La Hilte, Minister of Foreign Affuirs
ascended the Tribune, and said :
Gentlemen, in the sitting of Saturday last I had
the honor of announcing to the Assembly thnt, in
consequence of the failure of our good offices in the
negotiations pursued at Athens, the Government of
the Republic had considered it its duty to apply to
tho English Government for explanations. The re
ply which was given us not being such ns we had a
right to look for, considering the good intelligence
which existed between the two countries, the l’resi-
dent of the Republic, lifter having taken the advice
of his council, gave me orders to recal from London
our ambassador. (A loud burst ot cheering from the
Right, clapping of hands, cries of “bravo, bravo
renewed cheers and clapping of hands from the same
quarter. The Left all this time remained silent.—
The approbation continued at lenst five minutes.)
In the House of Lords oil Friday, Lord John ltus
sell, in reply to an interpellation, stated that no or
ders had been sent to Paris for the recal of Lord Nor-
manby, and he trusted no steps of the kind would be
necessary.
Troops are bebtg poured into Paris. The Voix du
Peuplehas been seized by the police almost every
day j mayors nnd their adjoints are dismissed from
their offices beenuse they have signed petitions against
the electoral law; mobs of people assemble around
the offices of La Pressc, nnd on Wednesday the li
cense of the Voix du Peuple was wholly withdrawn.
In fact every thing protends a fierce struggle.
Petitions from all quarters are 6ont in" against the
new clectorlal Bill in France. The whole party of
the Nutioual, including Dupent do l’Eure, Grodclinux,
Marrast, have sent in a firm petition nnd remonstrance
against its passing.
The riotere who had been arrested at Crenzot, in
the department of the Soane and Loire, were subse
quently rescued by the mol), nnd when the Prefect
reached the place the insurgents amounted to about
8000. Troops were marching to the scene of disor
der ; and Gen. Castellan announced in his dispatch,
received in Paris on Monday last, that there « as no
doubt of the disturbance being soon completely sup
pressed.
The proposition of M. Cretan, for the abrogation of
the law exiling the Bourbons, has been rejected by a
large majority of the Commissioners of Parliamentary
Initiative.
At Rome thepower of tho Pope is greatly on the
decline.
The Government measure abolishing the office of
the Irish Viceroy contemplates the creation of three
new crown appointments : a Secretary of State for
Ireland, ot a salary of £5000 per annum, nnd two un
do* secretaries, one with a seat in Parliament, and the
other without legislative duties. The Salary of the
Parliamentary Secretary is to be fixed at £2000 a
•year. Lord Clarendon will accept the chief secretary
the last meeting of the Poof Law Guardians of
Fire!
About 12 o’clock last night, a fire broke out in the
attic of the large frame tenement on Broughton-street
belonging to Mrs. Marshall, nnd occupied by Mrs.
Jane Yonoe ns a boarding-house. By the prompt
exertions of our firemen, the flames were prevented
from communicating to the buildings adjoining, nnd
the fire extinguished before it had burnt more than
the uttic story in which ihe fire originated. The hou
ses on either side were also of wood, and if waa bo
confidently expected that they would be consummed
that the furniture and goods were removed. The
building may be valued at $2000. No insurance. Wo
believe that most of Mrs. Yonge’s turniture was
saved.
Too much, praise cannot be given to our firemen
for the promptness and skill which they displayed ou
this occasion. Nothing but their well timed nnd well
directed exertions saved the entire block from being
consumed. The little experience they have had of
late, has served to develop their ability to encounter
the devouring clement, and their success last night
was a most gratifying proof of their superior skill.
Savannah has a right to bo proud of her fire organi
zation, of which it is not boasting to say, it will com
pare favorably with thnt of nny city in the Union.
Coroner’s Inquest.—An inquest was held on Sat
urday, on the body of Alfeed Robinson, late mate
of the Bark Texas, whose death by drowning we
mentioned in our paper of Thursday last. His body
was recovered during the morning, floating in the ri
ver in the vicinity of the Iron Steamboat Company’s
Wharf.
From tile Isthmus
By the arrival of the Falcon from Chagres at New
Orleans, the Ficnyune has Panama dates to the 9th
ult.
The steamship Oregon, Lieut. Patterson, left Pn-
naran on the lst^inst. for San Francisco,, with her
usual complement of passengers, among whom was
Col. McAllister of this city. Tickets by the Oregon,
held by speculators, sold on the eve of her departure,
at enormous prices—steerage commanding from
$550 to $600 and upwards, mid cabin from $800 to
$1000. The Star says one cabin ticket had been sold
for $1250 t
There were about 2000 emigrants on the Isthmus
when the Fnlcon left. Vessels were daily expected
with about 1200 more, and the cry was still thy come
—tickets having been sold in New York.as for ahead
ns July nnd August.
Tltere had been some little rowdyism among the
Americans. No News of interest.
Another Expedition.—Itisstated that two ves
sels are now, or have been, fitting out—one at Boston
and the other at New York—to take the part of So-
louque in the struggle against the Dominicans.
To help his imperial blackness I We doubt this
statement. Negro sympathy rarely manifests itself in
any such way.

Charleston for Havana, touched ut our city on Satur
day nfternoon at 3 o'clock, nnd received the mails and
passengers, and proct e led on her voyage.

Death by Cholera on Shipboard. The York
shire arrived at Now-York on. Monday morning from
Liverpool, having lost 22 steerage passengers by
cholera during the voyage. Itis not mentioned how
niuny days the Yorkshire had been out when the
disense showed itself.
Massachusetts Fourth District. In twenty
three towns of this district, from which returns have
been received, the votes stand for Thompson (Whig)
2330; Palfrey (free soil) 2083 ; scattering 330. There
is probubiy again no choice.
More New Coins.—Specimens or illustrations of
the two new coins proposed in the bill presented by
Mr. Dickinson, in llie United States Senate, have been
struck at the Philadelphia. The cent, containing a
small proportion of silver, is designed as a substitute
for tlie copper coin now issued, it weighs twenty-five
grains; thepreeentcent, one hundred and sixty-eight
It lias a circular hole in the centre. The three cent
pieces, composed of three-fourths silver and one-
fourth copper, are intended to be exeh auged fur tile
“lips, and quarters,” of Spanish type, now and so long
infesting our currency. The exchange is to be made at
current value, and not by weight, so as to induce a
rapid and general recoinnge. The piece weighs twelve
and three-eighths grains, and its diameter is just mid
way between the half dime tuid gold dollar. The
Pennsylvanian says that these coins arc decidedly
morn elegant and convenient than those now in use.
wp trtisrthey will be authorized to be issued.
The Cnbnii Invasion.—Gen. I.opez.
Since tlie news has spread of Lopez’s fuilure_and
escape to the United States, there is much comment
in tho papers on the subject oi his attack on Culm,
nnd from the tone of a portion of the presses of the
country.it would seem that a storm of virtuous wrath
and indignation is gathering to beviBited with unnlint-
ed fury upon that gentleman’s devoted head. Suc
cess makes the patriot, failure the traitor, lind lie
been successful iu his desperate venture, thousands
would have hailed him as a patriot hero, who now de
nounce him as a rebel traitor, and what is a little re-
murkable, the bitterest denunciations of him are to be
found in those journals, which, until now, have pre
served a marked silence on tlie subject of tlie inva
sion, or treated the meditated treason with indiffer
ence.
For our own port, we regarded the enterpvize, from
the first, as n desperate ami hopeless adventure ; but,
ns we knew nothing of the parties concerned, of the
actual merits of their cnUBe, or of their ultimate de
signs, we have contented ourself with watching the
progress of events, with only nil occasional allusion
to the rumors in circulation, in which we expressed
our doubts, both ot the practicability nnd morality of
the movement, so far as our people are concerned.
As we have been made acquainted with the grievan
ces of the people of Cuba, we have sympathized with
them, and hnd they been successful iu throwing off
the yoke of tile odious Sixinish monarchy, we should
have bailed their liberation with unfeigned satisfac
tion. With regard to Gen. Lopf.z, wo have not been
able to inform ourself sufficiently of the relation in
which he stands to the Cuban people and their cause,
to judge of his conduct or motives. When we met
him in this city on the morning of his arrival, we saw
in him only a gentleinnn who had recently sutt’ered
disastrous defeat in a cause in which he had ventured
his life, nnd hnd escaped froty his enemies to our
shores. In common with our fellow citizens, we
commiserated ilia situation, without, at the time, en
tering into an investigation of the mexits of tlie
cause in which he hnd been engaged.
From highly Colored statements .which have
gone abroad of Gen. Lopez’s reception here, an
impression has been derived that our citizens mani
fested on thnt occasion, in an unbecoming and extrav
agant manner, their approbation of the invasion, nnd
their sympathy with those who hnd been concerned in
the unsuccessful attempt upon tlie Island. Iu this,
injustice has been done to our citizens. No city in
tlie Union lias had less to do with or less concern
about the Cuban affair than th^ city of Savannah
The arrival of General Lopez, nnd the news of his
encounter with the Spanisli forces caused con
siderable excitement in tlie public mind. It wi
known that many Americans of character had
fought with him. In the flush of the moment, there
came an order for his arrest. He was a stranger nnd
ha 1 committed no offence against outlaws. It is nat
ural under such circumstances thnt there should have
been some impulsive manifestation of sympathy in
his behalf. Those manifestations, however, were not
extravagant or disorderly. He was duly arraigned
nnd subjected to the forms of law. The charge was
one which could not be sustained by available evi
dence. Th is city hnd not been the theatre of his op
erations, and there was no proof to authorize hia de
tention. After a formal hearing he was discharged
from custody, and departed next morning ouliis wny to
Mobile, where he was still amenable to the laws of the
country, nnd where evidence o£his crime, if crime
he lias committed, may yet be produced. It is true
that a portion of the crowd accompanied him to hie
lodgings and cheered him on tlie way. But there was
not the slightest manifestation of a disorderly spirit
or of a disposition to set at defiance the laws of tlie I
country.
One misstatement has beon mnde in connection
with this matter, which, in justice to the District At
torney, should be corrected. It lias been said that
there was informality in tlie warrant under which
Gen. 1-opez was arrested. This is not the fact. The
papers were all iu strict accordance with legal form,
nnd the examination was conducted throughout, with
all the usual formalities and rigid observance of the
principles nnd practice of our Courts of Justice.
Since writing the above we have seen the New York
Courier and Enquirer, and tlie Philadelphia North
American, which papers are loud in their denuncia
tions of our Court for permitting Gen. Lopez to go
at large, nnd of our citizens for having treated him
with any consideration. The Courier goes so fur as
to charge collusion between Judge Nicoll nnd the
District Attorney, while the American expresses its
nstoniahihent that Gen. Lopez was not re-arrested,
for the speech which he is snid to have mnde on arriv
ing at the hotel, in which he declared his determination
to persevere in his enterprize against Cuba. No such
speech was mnde by Gen. Lopez, to the crowd who
accompanied him to the hotel; and if he had uttered
the words attributed to him, wo think it would puzzle
the Editors of the American to find law, even in Penn
sylvania, to punish him for such a declaration. The
insinuation of the Courier against tlie integrity of the
officers of our Court is perfectly gratuitous, and whol
ly unsustained even by the semblance of truth.—
The newborn zeal which these journals mnnifest in
tlieir strictures upon tlie Cuban movement is calcula
ted to defeat its end by its own intemperance. Public
opinion, fortunately, is not to be moulded by the opin
ions they may choose to utter, and the attempt to char
acterize all concerned in it—among whom there are
men who rank, intellectually, morally, nnd socially,
far above the carpet knights of the quill who indict
tlie lenders for these transcendental journals—as “ pi
rates,” robbers, “freebooters,” and “cowardly plun
derers,” will only have the effect to array a weight of
public opinion in tlieir favor, which otherwise would
uof have concerned itself about them. So far ns our
legal authorities and citizens are concerned ; we repeat
thnt no blame can property be attached to them, and
we venture the assertion that there is not a city in the
Union, tlie inhabitants of which would have observed
a greater degree of propriety under such circum
stances. Had Gen. Lopez arrived in Philadelphia,
Boston, New Y’ork or Baltimore, under the similar cir
cumstances, we doubt if the civil authorities would
have been permitted to arrest him at all. We nr
very certain that they would not if he had chosen to
resist the authority of the law.
But even if there hnd been an improper demonstra
tion of popular sympathy on the occnsion, which
there was not, such homilies as these pnpers read us,
come with a poor grace front the cities of Philadelphia
nnd Now York, in tlie former'of which, mob-law, with
its nightly riots, murders, nnd robberies, sets the legal
authority at defiance, while iu tlie latter, organized
bands of men have paraded the streets in open day,
unmolested by the authorities, with banners t.nd mu
sic, openly proclaiming tlieir participation in the Cu
ban movement. The treason was- hatched and nur
tured in New York, and now that nil the money lias
been made out of the speculation that is likely to be
obtained, the virtuous indignation of her press is
aroused against the “pirates” and “f^ebooters" that
were outfitted by her merchants, and finds vent ill the
abuse of those who have had no concern with them
or their cause.
Death of the lion. F. H. Elmore.
The telegraph brought the melancholy intelligence
of the death of Mr. Elmore, on P'riday atternoou
last. He died at Washington at about half past 8
o’clock on Wednesday night. Mr. Elmore lind been
ill feeble health lor some timo past, but shortly after
he repaired to Washington, ho was attacked by tho
severe illness which resulted in his death. Ilisdis-
euso is said by some accounts to have been bronchitis ;
by Olliers his death is attributed to erysipelas, while
the Columbia Telegraph ascribes it to a neuralgic af
fection. Mr. Elmore occupied a promenent pluce
among the public men of tlie country, nnd next to
Mr. Calhoun, perlinps, wielded the largest influence
in his own .State, which hnd conferred many honors
upon him. Ilia dentil was announced in the Senate
ou Thursday, by his colleague, Senator Butler,
wlto delivered an eloquent, eulogy on the character of
the deceased. He was followed by Hunter of Vn.
Webster, of Massachusetts, Davis, of Mississippi, nnd
Y'ulee, of Florida, when appropriate resolutions of
respect for the deceased, nnd condolence with the re
latives, were unanimously udopted. Tho Funeral
took place on Friday.
Good Logie, from n Northern Source.
In future, when we find ourself indulging in tlie
belief that the people of the North nrc becoming in
sane on tlie subject of slavery, we will turn to our
files, and read thcfollowing from the New Y’ork Mir
ror. If tlie editor would apply a little of hia theory
to practice, an# give a cordial report to those mea
sures which tire designed to put an end to the Slavery
crusade, und to silence the outcry of those canting
hyprocrites who make it the endless theme of denun
ciation and misrepresentation of tlie South, he would
render ou essential service to his race nnd country.
Rev. Mr. Bcechcr and the Journal of Commerce.—
The Journal of Commerce some time since in its
usual excellent way attacked the habit of preaching
“Free Soilism" from the pulpit, its articles have
been the subject of much comment both in and out
of print. This morning Dr. Beecher occupies three
columns of the Courier in defence of political par
sons, and winds up a long, but very illogical article by
the following queries :
1. Whether American slavery, as it is established
by law in the Southern States, is right, morally or
politically 1
2. Will it state distinctly whether Christ and the
apostles approved, or in any way gave assent to the
rectitude of such a system of slnvcry ns by law exists
iu the United States ?
3. Will it state distinctly whether the system of
slavery, existing by law in the United States, is a mat
ter which concerns tlie people of the North, and
whether Christian men have any Christian duty to
perform with reference to tlie subject ?
4. Will it point to the authorities nnd the facts on
which it declares the North to have kept slaves as
long as the system was profitable, and then sold the
slaves to the South ! •
We answer unhesitatingly that slavery, as establish
ed 1n the Southern States, is not wrong morally, and
is right politically.
Christ und his apostles distinctly and unqualifiedly
disavowed any interference with the political relations
of man; and if silence be consent, approved a system
of slavery for more arbitrary than “the system by
law existing in the United States.”
Slavery existing by law iu the United States is a
matter which no more concerns the people of the
North than it does the people of Great Britain ; nnd
“Christain men have a Christian duty to perform with
reference to tlie subject,” which duty is to “render to
Ciiitfur tlie things thut be CtBsnr’s and to God the things
that be God’s.”
The fourth question needs no answer. No matter
what the reply, it in no way can affect the argument
It may stamp the Northern agitation us selfish, or it
may admit®it to be perfectly disinterested; but.notli-
ing will be thereby proved., Now, ts Slavery a wrong?
It is a wrong iu the same manner, nnd no other, as
the refusal of a participation in public affairs to men
under 21, nnd to women of all ages, is a wrong. So
cially it is right, politically it is right. Two races of
nearly equal numbers, us widely separated by color
as the races that inhabit our Southern States, can only
exist in the relation of master nnd slave. We have
said before and say again, that tlie question presented
to our choice is not abolition of slavery merely, but
amalgamation. Amalgamation would deteriorate the
white race. In our whole country, whose motto is
progress, tho nboiitiou of slavery would innke the

them until they commenced firing artillery from the I
forts or ships of thejine, when he would haul down

of war. This says the Picayune, would make a na
tional affair of it at ouce, audit was perlinps fortunate
for Spain that the Cuban authorities did not carry
out tlieir intentions.

Ilia landing on tile Island.
BP Tho correspondent of tlie Baltimore Sun, i
his letter of the 28th, says:
A careful estimate mnde this morning of the pro
bable vote of tlie Senate, would show that it will re
ceive the votes of twenty Southern Senators, oi
three Northern Whigs nnd of seven Northern Demo-1
ernts. In my opinion, ut least four votes notin the |
estimate, will, upon u pinch, be given for the coin
promise.
It is said that Mr. Corwin will, this week, speak a
the champion of tlie President’s plan—taking up the I
glove that Mr. Clay, the other day, threw down. But
it turns out, as I suid it would, thut for the President’s
plan no Senatorial advocate can be found, out of the
ranks of theWilmot Proviso party. Mr. Corwin, itis |
well known is for the Wilmot Proviso.
Gen. Lopez. This gentleinnn arrived at Mont
gomery, Ala., on Tuesday afternoon from Savannah,
und left on Wednesday evening in the steamer Pratt
for Mobile.
We understand, (says tlie Atlas.) that while in Sa
vnnnah, lie was arrested by u telegraphic order from
the Secretary of Stute, hut was released in fifteen
minutes afterwards; whereupon the citizens pave
twenty-one cheers for the Cuba Expedition and six
groans for Old Zach's Secretary of State, adding six
more for the officers who arrested Gen. Lopez.
We shall hear next that our city was illuminated
in honor of the battle of Cardenas.
I A telegraphic dispatch to the N. Y. Comma-
cinl dated Washington, May 29, says.
It is reported that despatches have been received et I
the Spanish Legation that fifteen hundred additional I
prisoners had been taken on tlie Southern coast of I
Cuba, in two large vessels.
The greater part of these were Americans, and a
discharged and permitted to return to the U. S. while I
those ot other nations bad been summarily tried by |
court martial.
It is also reported thnt it lias been determined in I
Cabinet council to hold the Cuban authorities to rig-1
id accountability for the treatment of American^ I
nnd thnt a special agent is to be dispatch' d fortn-1
with by tlie State department to attend to the bus |
iness.
This is all very improbable.

Southern States tlie only exception; the white race
thru would, instend of taking one step nearer the tin
ge], take one step backward towards the ape. Indeed
it is apparent that tlie abolition of slavery in tfcj South
can only be effected by physical force, by the tonquest
of tlie white race.
He who preaches abolition of slavery nnd incites
liis hearers to such political action, preaches war, war
with horrors thut have not been known since the ex
tinction of the Albigenses. He stands at the sacred
desk not tho minister of Christ, but the minister of
Satan.
What is the intent of the Christian religion, what
are its doctrines ? Love. Not that bastard love which
warms tlie heart towards the negro and freezes it to
wards the white man. llow does the Christian faith
operate? Upon tlie heart. What is tlie object of its
ministers' reproof? Sin. What is sin ? Doing evil or
thinking evil. What is the object of his exhortations ?
Faith, hope, and charity. What ie the example thut
tho minister should propose ? Christ, if Dr. Beech
er will not try to be better than Christ; if he will not
make broad his phylacteries nud attempt to excite
the admiration of his congregation by standing aloof
from those he deems publicans, we will give flint ad
miration to bis Christian humility which we must re
fuse to his logic. One word at parting.
The monks of former ages, in their character of
Christain ministers, lamented’ that men should be
held in service to man. They preached no crusade,
they launched no clerical thunder against a social sys
tem : but, in the hour of sickness nnd death, they in
sinuated to the sufferer doubts of the benefits of serf
dom, ami suggested the freeing of villains as an act
which might find grace in the sight of God. Thus
very many slaves were set free. True, the Church
kept all her own, but too much must not be expected
from poor human nature.
Jjy The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Express states as a rumor, that Mr. Clay is about to
go over to tlie democrats iu order to reach the presi
dency.
The Baltimore Clipper (Whig) pronounces this all
pure gamm^, Stranger things have happened.
Tlie Northern papers have been generally led into
error by the telegraphic dispatch, announcing the ar
rest of General Lopez, for his piratical attempt upon
Cuba, as having taken place at Charleston, instead of
Savannah, and of the patriotic demonstration made
on the occasion of his discharge by the United .States
District Judge, for want of evidence of his guilt.
We trust thnt they will set this matter right, before
tlieir readers, ns the citizens of Charleston have no
ambition to deprive the public spirited citizens of Sa
vannah of any laurels they may have acquired by this
demonstration.—Clt. Coiir.
We hope tlie editor will quiet his fears. If the
chivalry of the Palmetto State never linve any tiling
morn to answer for at the bar of public opinion
than such sins of ours as may by chance be laid at
their door, they will have no need to fear the verdict.
We hear, says the N. Y. Commercial, that
Professor Stuart, of Andover Theological Seminary,
has in press a defence of Mr. Webster and of his
last speecli in the Senate. It is to be entitled “Con
science tuid Constitution," nud tlie professed design
is to take n Christian view oi tlie subject. We np-
prehend, from the known ubility, calm temper and
clear-sightedness of the venerable author, that his
production will be u sensonuble rebuke to many pro-
iessing religious men, who liuvte freely indulged in
sneers and contemptuous language upon Mr. Web
ster’s course, both in public and in private.
New Locomotive.—A Mr. A. Waterman ot

a new locomotive of his own invention to be used in
conveying trains of cars through cities. It's so con
structed as to emit neither fire or smoke, and travels

a very ingenious contrivance, and was manufactured
at tho machine shop of the Mattewan Company.
