THE MORNING NEWS. BV JOHN M. COOPER. WILLIAM T. THOMPSON, EDITOR. terms: Dolly Paper, $4,00::::: Tri-weekly, $2.00 All ncut Advertisement! a]>penr in both papers. From the Mobile Tribune. Meaning of the Word “Creole.” Messrs., Editors: As there still exists (In spite of repeuted explanations) mnch confusion of ideas os to the meaning, nnd much misapplication, in the use, of this i'nnilliur term, a brief attempt to elucidate it may be interesting to some of your readers. According to the best authority that I can find, the Spanish word Criolle, from which it is taken, was originally used simply to designate the children of Spanish parents born in Spanish colonies, in opposi tion to the natires of the mother country. Such per sons, in spite of their European origin, seem to have been excluded by the scrupulosity of Castilian pride, from certain rights aud privileges (in relation to the holding of ollices, etc.,) to which their more favored kinsmen of European nativity were entitled. Hence the term, which otherwise might have been exclu sively colloquial nnd provincial in its use, became le gitimated by being incorporated into legal enactments nnd public documents. A very natural jealousy on if the “ Criollos,” arising from this prefer- the part ence, led to social distinctions and rivalries,"which rendered the line of demarcation between the two classes more distinct, aud the signification of the word more umnistakcable. In process of time the Spnnish use of the term extended itself to the neighbouring colonies, with the additionulnationalprefixes, “French Creole," “Danish Creole," etc.,—but still retainingits plain signification—a natirc of the colony, of Euro pean extraction. From this account of the origin of tho term it is easy to understand theslightmodilication of its mean ing and application, since the French and Spanish colonies of Louisiana and Florida have passed into the possession of the United States. It is still retain ed by the class of population to whom it was origi nally applied—not, however, in contradhtinction only to their kinsmen ollEuropean birth, asiformerly—but also to their fellow-citizens of English, or Anglo American origin. The true definition of the word Cre ole, then, as used in the United Elates, would seem to be A person of French or Spanish descent, born in apart of the country originally belonging to France or Spain. Euch is the common usage of tho term in Louisiana aud Florida. A singular misapprehension, however, prevails in -tho northern States, in confounding the term in ques tion witli the word Quadroon, so os to make it imply a mixture of African blood. This error hug been the occasion of some amusing mistakes and sometimes ■of serious inconvenience aud annoy nnco to that large and highly rcepectable class of our fellow-citizens, who ore proud to call themselvea Creoles. Even in Mobile, where wo ought certainly to bo better infor med, it is surprising how commonly the term is thus misapplied. The worthy and learned solicitor for the Commonwealth, (if I understood him aright,) has fallen into this error In his communication published in the Herald a day or two since, in which he speaks of Creoles as one of the only two classes of the free negroes nllowed to remain in the State. There is an institution known as the “Creole Free School," the title of which appears to be founded on the same er roneous impression, and conveys in itself a sort of injustice to our Creole fellow-citizens of pure Euro pean blood. It would certainly be more appropriate to terra it a "Quadroon Free School.” Another error of a different kind is very common, even among Creoles themselves, founded on the sup position that the word “ Creole” is a synonym of "na tive," and consequently a native of tho country, of whatever parentage ho may be born, is a "Creole." Whereas, it the foregoing account be correct, the term could not with any propriety be applied to the descendants of any other than the original proprie tors of the French nnd Spanish colonies. If the above attempt to define the meaning of this much perverted expression be inacurate in any par ticular, the writer would lie glad to be corrected by those whose means of information are more exten sive. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Washington, June 1. The two Houses met, to day, for the purpose of taking another recess. Many members are absent from the city. We are beginning the seventh month of the session without commencing the regular busi ness of the session. It is promised thnt, next week, both Houses will begin to vote upon the California bill and the Clay adjustment. It is now believed that a majority of the .Senate will refuse to postpone Mr. Clay’s bill, and will give him a fair opportunity to amend it, so ns to render it na acceptable as possi ble. Hut the ultimate disposal of the bill is quite a matter of uncertainty. It is assumed by tho friends of the President’s plan that Mr. Clay’s bill will pass tho Senate, and 1'aifin the House, nnd that there will be produced the state of things upon which the Pres ident bused his recommendation of tho 21st 1 January- But, if Mr. Clay's bill should fail, every thing will fail at this session. The California bill, per sc, will fail. California, tired of being the point of sectional rivalries nnd dissentions, may soon set up'for herself and with the tacit assent of this government. It has long been predicted that California nnd Oregon would one day, form n separate government, This may be the beginning of a disjointed state of things. Mr. Clay nnd Mr. Foote continue to receive letters from various pnrts of the country, in favor of the ad justment plan. Pome of their correspondents, how ever,deem tlie question incapable of permanent adjust ment, nnd predict that the North will, after another election, revive the Wilmot Proviso, even if they waive it now. Mr. Clnyton bus received very voluminous de spatches from Cuba, in relation to the late invasion. It is understood that the British Minister has remon strated against the refusal of tho authorities at Key West to surrender the Creole and the money taken from the Royal Treasury. We hear of nothing that justifies the belief that a renewed attempt will be made to invade Cuba. The Government lias always been assured by Gen. Campbell that any attempt of the kind would fail. This Cabinet were decided in the opinion ns the expediency of any interference on the part of the President. Itisnow said, by some politicians, here, that Spain will gladly sell Cuba to tho United States, for one or two hundred millions, and that England will not re sist it. As the key to the Gulf and to the channels of intercourse with the Pacific, Cuba is becoming an ob ject of increased interest to the United States. Nnahville Convnnllon. Until the papers reach us with full accounts of the proceedings of this body we must content ourselves with the vague and meagre outlines furnished by tho telegraph. By these we are informed that the Conven tion assembled pursuantto adjournment, on Wednes day. Several delegates not present at the organiza tion, were announced and took their Beats, after which the gentlemen comprising the committee from each state were announced. Mr. McRae, of Mississippi, submitted a scries of resolutions, declaring tlip spirit of tho Convention was conciliatory, to preserve the Constitution and the Union. The resolutions provide that territory acquired by the United States, is to be governed by the several States through their agents in Con gress ; nnd further recommend, that if the North will not concede to the South its rights guaran teed by the Constitution, the formality of association will be broken nnd lead to non-intercourse between the two sections; that Congress had no right to dis criminate between species of property held under the Constitution. The resolutions were referred. Mr. Chester, of Tennessee, offered n resolution providing for a Committee on Printing, which was carried. The Convention then adjourned to 10 o'clock on Thursday evening. OA^syss’^iEo Saturday Morning;, June 8, 1850. From the Charleston Courier. Late and Interesting; from Havana. Theschr. Merchant, Capt, Tessiev, arrived at this port yesterday, in six days from Havana. By this vessel we have received a copy of the Dia- to is la Marina, of the 29th ult., being six days later than the accounts brought by the Isabel. Captain Tessier informs us that tho U. S. steam frigate Saranac, Capt. Tate all, arrived at Havana on the 26th ult. She carried out important despatches to the Cnptnin General of Cuba, and also to Gen. Campbell, the American Consul at Havana. It was stated, in Havana, that the Saranac had been put un der the orders of the Governor of Cuba! to assist in suppressing any armed expedition from the States.— The timely arrival of the Saranac oil' Havana preven ted what would no doubt have been otherwise n bloody atiair, as the U. 8. sloops of war Albany and Germantown, while lying in Havana, received infor mation that several Spanish vessels of war were ex pected, in a few days, with a part of the Cuba expe dition on board, (no doubt thoso taken on the coast of Yucatan.) On receipt, of this intelligence these vessels immediately left port for the purpose of in tercepting them aud demanding the prisoners from tho custody of the Spaniards. They met them a few hours sail from the Moro, and were about exact ing their release, at the cannon’s mouth, when the Snranac came up. An interview took place between Capt. Tatnall and Commander Randolph, after which the Spaniards were nllowed to take their prisoners into Havana. The prisoners were placed in confine ment on board a Spanish seventy four, in the harbor. The five individuals taken at Cardenas, a part of the body under Lopez, were shot at Matanzas a few days previous to the sailing of the Merchant. Four of the number were said to be Scotish and Irish, and one an American, (a boy) who stated to the last that he joined the expedition under the impression that it was going to California, and that he had no idea of the project of invading Cubn. The boy who was shot, asked permission, previous to his execution, to write a letter to his mother, giv- iug her information of his melancholy fate. Alter much entreaty, this privilege was granted him. Af ter finishing his epistle, it was handed to one of the soldiers, who tore it up. A humane spectator, how ever, collected the pieces, aud pasted them together, with the intention of forwarding them to the bereav ed parent. The Merchant left in HnvntiB the U. S. steam frig ate Saranac, and sloops of war Albany anti German- toum. The conduet of our consul at Havana, under the trying circurastnnces which surrounded him, is spo ken of in the highest terms. The following is from tho Diario de Marino, of the 29th ult.. for translation of which we are in debted to a friend: “\Ye have the greatest satisfaction in being able to announce to our readers,that the American Steam er of War, Saranac, which lias arrived from Wash ington, has been sent by the President of the Uni ted States to offer to our Government its assistance if necessary, against the expedition of pirates. The American sloops of War, Albany and Gcrmantoum, entered with the same object. “Action now confirms the open nnd energetic words with which Gen. Taylor declared, that he would put down, by force, any attempt against the Island of Cubn, as it was the property of n friendly nation. “We have never had a enusc ) doubt the integrity of President Taylor, nor could we believe him any thing but sincere, in the proclamation he issued a a few months since, ‘declaring those assembled on Round Island to be outlaws.’ llaviug this day seen Ids feelings towards us, made visible by his actions, we cannot withhold from him his just aud merited praise. Notwithstanding we confide in our selves, ns being able, at all times to drive back the Pirates, whatever may lie their numbers, and more over, this good cause being now able to count on the ass.stauco ot tho U. S., — we look on it us an impossibility, that the tranquility of this Island shall lw> uimin rlichirltnil ” Silvan null Lumber Market—A fine Raft. Mr. James Holland, of Barnwell District, South Carolina, delivered in this city on Thursday morning lust, one of the finest rafts of ranging timber ever brought to this market The ratt comprised 97 pieces, and measured 85, 246 feet lumber, measure ment. The timber being of superior quality was taken, by Messrs. Allen, & Co., at $7 per M. R. A. the raft round—the raft bringing the snug sum of $594,69. This is the second raft that Mr. Holland has brought to this market since January last, aud we learn from him that he has already cut nnd squared timber enough of the same quality, for two more rafts. Mr. H. is the proprietor of a large body of excel lent timber land in the vicinity of The Runs, in Barn well District, and as his timber is cut and prepared for tlie market under his own eye, it is uniformly in [merchantable codition nnd of a superior quality. He informs us that his standing timber is almost in exhaustible, and that he designs going largely into the business. His neighbors also have abundance of timber, aud bring large quantities to our Market, which is, without question, one of the finest timber markets in the Union. The inexhaustible forests of pine and other timber, to which we have access by the Savannah river nnd the Ogeechee canal, will continue to supply us with the most valuable timber, while the uninterrupted navigation of both, winter and summer, gives us immense advantages over the markets of the North, inland communication witn which is obstructed during th e winter months. Condition of the Blacks in Canada.—A cor respondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser, a moder ate and highly respectable Anti-Slavery paper, wri- ing from Detroit, Mich., under date of May 28th, says: The debates on the slavery question being dull, I took a drive over into Canada to see what really is the condition of the slaves delivered there by the "under ground railway." We found a new purchase where houses for the occupancy of some 1)0 fumilies are preparing. There is a colony of 1000 in and about Malden, 18 miles down the river, and a large one in the interior. There arc so few facilities for obtaining a livelihood, that their condition is often worse than that of our own free blacks, nnd but for the contributions of the friends of this enterprise would be worse. It is said that many would be glad to return to their masters. From a subsequent portion of tho letter, we infer that the writer is a member of the Presbyterian As sembly which recently met in Detroit. We have no doubt that tho condition of the blacks is spoken of by the writer in the least discouraging manner possible, after a personal observation of their situation. Himself a Northern clergyman, and writ ing to a Journal of strong Anti-Slavery bins, it is not to be supposed that he would represent matters in a worse light than the£ really are. The melancholy admission is made that the blacks who have been in veigled from their masters, are worse off than “our own free blacks,” and thnt many would be glad to return to their masters. Where, then, is the philanthropy of those pretend ed friends of the black man, who stop not at the vio lation of every principle of law, morality, and good faith to place him in such a condition ? Wc all know the condition of the free blacks of the North. If the colonists of Canada are in a worse one, God pity Hjem. The honest admission of this writer should deter all honest men from aiding in the escape of slaves from t.ieir masters, and stop the mouths of the brawl ing hypocrites who are preaching through the land of the evils of slavery. The above is but one of a thousand evidences thnt might be given to prove that it is the only institution under which the two races can continue to occupy the same soil. We are pleased tostate as an item of religious intelligence thnt n Meeting is now being held at Rev. Mr. Rambaut’s (First Baptist) Church, in this city, and may continue for some days, in which more than usual religious interest is manifested. United States Senator.—His Excellency Gov ernor Seabrook, of South Carolina, has appointed the Hon. Robert W. Barnwell, Senator to Congress, in place of Colonel Elmore, deceased. Mr. Barnwell is now at Nashville, in attendance on the Southern Convention, as one of the Delegates from the State at large. A telegraphic despatch has been forward ed to him, at that place, announcing his appointment. Mr. Barnwell is a gentleman of high character and distinguished talent. He was formerly a member of Congress, from that State, and for several years the able nnd populur President of tlie College of South Carolina. Singular Coincidence. Mr. Pheneas Solomon, a citizen of Columbia, S. C., died a few days since, in Alabama. The South Carolinian mentions the follow ing singular coincidence in the reception of the news of his death. Whilst the operator in the Telegraph Office at Co lumbia was engaged at the Northern end of the line, recording the death of CoL Elmore, the operator at the Southern wires was receiving the message an nouncing the death of Mr. Solomon. Both gentlemen, adds the Carolinian, were parties to a cause which was to have come up for argument in the Court of Appeals, on tlie very morning upon which tie death of both was announced. O?" At Frankfort-on-tbe-Maine, Mr. Krcutzberg, the keeper of the menagerie, while feeding a young hyena, which he had so far tamed as to make him lie down by the side of his bed, was bitten by the animal iu his right hand. The wound brought on an imme diate attack of hydrophobia, of such severity as to extinguish all hopes of tlie patient’s recovering. A New Humbug. Wc sec by tho papers that a Mr. Sunderland is a.bout to start a new monthly magazine in Boston, to he called “ The Clairvoyant and Spiritual Philoso pher,” to bo devoted to tlie investigation and exposi tion of “ Nature, Physical, Spritual, Celestial, Di vine.” Tho editor will explore the fields of Science, and treat of Palhetism. Atheism, Fourierism, Deism, Devilism, and all other isms—of Physiology; I’sch- ology, Phrenology, Pneumatology, Theology, and all the other ologios. He will settle the great question of the age, as to the best form and order of society will point out tlie highest uses to which ail should aspire in the individual, conjugal, parental, fraternal, filial, universal relations of life—and expects, ns the grand result of his editorial labors, to “harmonize the an tagonizing interests of all, in a state of attractive in dustry, unity, sufficiency, and Heaven Horace Greely, Abby Folsom, Fred. Douglass, Mrs. Swissel-em, Senator Hale, besides several insane men imported from Europe, aud the ghosts of Joe Smith, Father Miller, and other distinguished lights of the present and past ages, will, we presume, be regular contributors to the Clairvoyant, nnd furnish its pages with enough heresy, blasphemy, and sacriligious non sense, to addle the brains, nnd corrupt the moral prin ciples of all who may be silly enough to waste their time in its perusal. V'. B. Palmer, who is Agent for the work, says in his Registfr: In one respect, “The Clairvoyant nnd Spiritual Philosopher,” w ill differ from everything of the kind ever beiore published; it proposes to admit informa tion from the upper “ Spheres," explaining, we sup pose, what has been called the ••spiritual knockings." which have attracted so much attention lately in western New York. It must, we think, be decidedly curious, nnd highly interesting. For our own part, we think it will be decidedly per nicious, and highly corrupting. However, as our peo ple are not so easily infected with new isms as are our cooler headed brethren of the Puritan stock, we do not apprehend that any evil will come to us from its publication. The ComprotnldP. Tlie Hon. Andrew Stevenson, of Virginia, formerly Speaker of the National House of Representatives, nnd nfterwnrds Minister of tho United States to Great Britain, lias addressed a letter to tho Hon. Henry S. Foote, of Mississippi, warmly indorsing the compro mise He says—"I confess myself friendly to it, and solicitous for its success. With some modifications and amendments, (calculated to carry out the true basis of the compromise,) I see nothing in it, which ought to justify its rejection by Congress or the peo ple; nnd I am free to say that I think the South might afford to accept it, without dishonor or the surrender of any of its essentinl or vitnl rights.” Col. T. J. Humphries, a Mississippiun of “great in telligence nnd discernment, nti unwavering Democrat, and a man of irreproachable moral character," has addressed a letter to Mr. Foote, warmly in favor of tlie compAmise. After defending the Compromise Bills, lie concludes thus— “Iu conclusion allow me to say, sir, that, from a long ndquaintnince with a considerable portion of tlie State, I have no hesitation in giving it ns ray opinion thnt a large majority of the people are anxiously look ing for Congress to devise some such plan of com promise, and that they would hail the passage of the bill of the Committed, of Thirteen us a measure of deliverance from ngitntioua nnd dangers of which they arc heartily sick. Then sir, go on; reconcile conflicting opinions; adopt Mr. Pratt’s amendment; improve the details of the present bill, so that a majority can unite in its support; allay the feverish excitement that so deeply pervades every section of tho country; calm the troubled waves; dry up the waters ol bitterness nt their fountains; restore fraternal feelings and confi dence amongst the members of the confederacy, and amongst tho people of this great republic, thnt we may look forward and onward to that high destiny tlyit seems to have been marked for us and our chil dren by Him who lioldcth the nations in the hollow of his hand.” , At a large meeting of the citizens of Montgomery co., Tenn., held nt Clarksville, on tho 25th ult, the Hon. Cave Johnson, late Post Master General, wns called to the Chair, nnd R. W. Thomas appointed Secretary. After addresses from the Chairman, and from Major Henry, a preamble and resolutions were adopted in favor of the Compromise now before Congress. The resolutions are ns follows: Resolved, Thnt we heartily approve of the scries of bills nnd resolutions, reported to the Senate of the United Stutos, by the committceof thirteen appointed by that branch of the National Legislature, conceived ns they have been, in tlie spirit of compromise and mutual forbearance, nnd, though some of us do not approve of all the details in them, yet, on the princi ple of mutual concession nnd compromise, we recom mend their adoption by the Congress of the United States, and hereby request our Representatives and Senators in Congress, from Tennessee, to use their best exertions to secure their passage. Resolved, That the committee of thirteen, who have reported the compromise bill ami resolutions to the Senate, haVe justly entitled themselves to the grat itude of the American people, by their patriotic ef forts to restore harmony to this distracted country. Resolved, That “our Federal Union must and shall be preserved." Resolved, That these proceedings be published, nnd thnt copies be forwarded to cur Representatives and Senators in Congress. The Nashville (Tenn.) papers contuin a call signed by 76 names, for a meeting of the citizens of David son county, irrespective of pnrty, to be held in thnt city on the 1st inst., to express their sentiments iu fa vor of “the terms nnd principles of the Compromise Bill, reported to the Sennte of the United States, by the Coinmitte of 13,” which “meet tlie almost unanimous approbation of the people of the State, embracing all parties.” The Florence (Ala.) Gazette (Dem.) contains a cijll fora public meeting, at that place "of the friends of the Union, irrespective of pnrty—with the purposeof giving an expression of opinion in favor of the com promise.” The Hon. James A. Seddon, of Va., member of Congress from Richmond, has published a letter strongly denouncing the compromise in all its features. The Mobile (Ala.) Advertiser says : “ In this city we know that many of tlie leading Democrats, who favor the Nashville Convention, heartily approve of the compromise ; while all the Democrats, who opposed the Convention, and tlie en tire Whig party, with a few unimportant exceptions, are desirous of tlie adoption ot the compromise. * * * Ill Louisiana, the feeling is repre sented by the papers of that State, as nearly unani mous for the compromise.” The Richmond Republican eays . “ Every pnper, we receive from the interior of Vir ginia—the voice of the people in every section of tlie State—is in favor of the Senatorial Compromise.— We again express our belief that nine-tenths of the Southern people are in fai or of the settlement of the question at isoue between the North and South now, as proposed by the Senatorial Compromise. The repre sentatives of the people at Washington, and their pub lic servants, will err widely if they act upon the sup position thnt the compromise of the Senute does not receive hearty and general public approbation. flommertini latest datf7 »v 25 I It.*... «, * *• s Liverpool, May 85 | Havre, I Havi ' ,B «.

General Lopez nt Mobile. We had the pleasure of conversing to-day with our fellow-citizen Col. Simms, of Avoyelles, who accom panied Gen. Lopez from Savannah to Mobile. From him wc learn that on the route the General was every where received with the wnrinest demonstrations of popular feeling and approval. At Macon, the people turned out in crowds to greet him. At Mobile he wus visited, nt tlie Mansion House, by an immense assemblage, and loudly cheered. At tho request of General Lopez, Colonel Simms addressed the crowd returning his thanks for the kindness extended to him, declaring his unshaken confidence in the success of thccauseof Cuban liberty, nnd his determination (to prosecute it as long as lie lived. Mr. Simms ex plained to the people the cuuses of the failure of tho expedition,—that it was owing to fortuitous events and not to any want of skill nnd gallantry in the leader and his officers, nor to any want of sympy- thy on the part ol the people and the soldiers. Of the latter, he stated .many had joined in the cry of “Lopez and Liberty,” as soon as they ascertained who the party was which had attacked them, and were tearing the Spnnish uniform oft', when Gene ral Lopez told them not to do so, but to mingle with the people, nnd exert their influence to persuade them to co-cperatc with him in liis efforts to emancipate the Island Thirty or forty of these Spanish soldiers came over on the Creole, and nuiuy of them, inelud ing some that had been wounded, accompanied Gen. Lopez to the landtng, entreating permission to share his fortunes. The address of Colonel Simms was re ceived with loud cheers, and produced a most favor able impression upon the people. We learn from Colonel Simms thnt an address will appear in tlie Mobile papers of to-morrow, from the officers of the Expedition, which will give a full, authentic, ami reliable narrative of the entire Expedi tion,—one which will dissipate the clouds of calumny and falsehood thnt. have been raised by the Spanish spies against Gen.
