THE DAILY MORNING NEWS.
BY JOHN M. COOPER.
WILLIAM T. THOMPSON* EDITOR.
r.^' J Wo publish the following card from a
cubnn CrcolOy which appears in the New-Oileans
Picayune of the 10th inst. The author is re
commended as a gentleman of high character and
position, whose statements limy be relied on, as
an authentic explanation o( the recent disas
trous failure in Cuba. But the letter speuks
follfaolf.
The Creoles of Cuba.
Since ray return to this city 1 have been asked
bo many questions and have heard so many re
ports about Cuban afluirs, that I believe it due
to truth, to the memory of the martyrs in the
Cuban cause, and to the Cujiun people in gen
eral, to raise my voice, however, bumble and un
known, to stuie such facts as circumstances
have given me special knowledge of.
1 solemnly state that Cion. Lopez moei do-
coivodijyiv one about the rcvoliitionuiy tee mg
in C^Knd the cooperation be Imped to meet
fronflBBubans. My position near him during
the Iasi eighleen months ol Ins ide, enables me
to state knowingly that letters Irani oil parts ol
the island have often called bun and Ins friends,
whatever inrght be then* number. No letters or
news Irnvc ever been forged in tins city, and I
am astonished that such an accusation could cv-
‘cr have been made against the few devoted
friends, Who, sincerely convinced of the good
ness of the cause, have spared no effort, no sue-
11liu« to servo it, and have engaged in it their
liirffy their name and their fortune, with no other
gnnrntHeo than the Word and honor of one man.
Those idTter* have never been written with the
intention of deceiving: their only fault is exag
geration, not as regards tlm feelings and wishes
of the Cuban people, but ns to the possibility of
immediate action. Circumstances have been
against the expedition; the revolution had broken
out on the nil of July in Puerto Principe,
from many points Patriots bad Binned and con
centrated in tin Coscuro mountains, who were
mid are still defending themselves against the
nival troops. The government, of course, imme
diately expected the arrival of some expedition
lYniii ihe htales, and took all neecessary mrus-
uis; arrests were made; the army of spies re
inforced, and all suspicious men marked and
el.watched. Thu General arrived. But
f-.v Cuban* joined him. it is true, but bow tuuiiy
tried to join I The jailors of llavuiia may an
swer that question b.\ stating liovv timnv hitch's
were made on the roads since the 12lh of Ali
gn t; they can answer it by telling what is the
crime committed by over two thousand wretain
now in Spanish dong onsor transported to Spain.
The soldiers also answer by saying bow many
liav a; been executed belnml the bushes of the
Agiduithff-iintl fl»e Pena Blanc a!
Sav thut the Cubans are paralyzed by the
Hysttfm of (error under which they live, say that
they W*a crushed by tyranny ; that they lack
resolute lenders, capable of forming a plan and
of leading a people w.tliout arms,ami surrounded
bv lla‘ most iiigomoiiN system of spies; accuse
lli.mo of cowardly weakness, but do not cast in
fn.nv on then name bv representing them light
ing tljo Patriots, trucking with dogs the mill
\v lin has been their only hope for two yours.
I was in Cuba when (ion. Lope/, arrived, and
I will only say that lind it been possible to join
him, I would not noto he in Mar Orleans; loose
who know me will not doubt my words. Now,
while I am convinced, for having myself seen
an.I heard whut 1 sav, ami having been amongst
the Culmiis ami exposed to the sumo dangers.
1 h i onobody to shine my convictions, lint I
will l ii flic incredulous, go to I lit* island of Cu
ll», do not seek information in newspapers pub
lished nudei the most vigilant censorship, nor
amongst men who are interested in showing
that the island is quiet, but mix with the Cu
bans, become their friend—let your observation
be personal, and then try a little conspiracy.
Only assemble and arm fifty men, I warrant y on
will find both men and money; but alter that,
if you are able, withdraw your bead from the
noose in which you bud already seen it, if you
have insisted the trials of a conspirator’s life, it
you can escape, you will soon be back and will
.saywilbme.it must be Been to be believed or
understood ; this people lias the will but not the
power of moving.
It lias not been my intention to get into a long
discussion; i am no public writer, and it is with
regret*tl)nt 1 put my name before die public; but
ret lining to New Orleans, I have, been painfully
affected by the revulsion which lias taken place
since the news of the defeat of that heroic little
party whose deeds will be long spoken of by the
Sputiisli soldier, who, more generous (ban his
Government, gives duo credit to an enemy that
only gavo way to a force ton times stronger. I
have heard accusations murmured against Gen.
Lopez and his noble and generous friends, who
feel less the loss of their fortunes, their name
expnset&to the attacks of vulgar enemies, than
for the loss of a man who never Imd an unwor
thy thought, whoso motives were pure und gen
erous;* Gen. Lopez imd honored mo by his
friendship und confidence. 1 grieve his losses
that of a father ; and, I think that raining my
weak voice to justify him, bis friends, or the
cause for which lie died, is to mo a duty—is ren
dering a homage to liix memory. Those who
insult bis uslius by calumnies are guiltv of an
uct of cowardice, and ) w ould bo us guilty if I
remained silent. 1 confidently hope that time
will justify him in the eyes of the world, and
that if 1 Imve not been able to snvo him, I may
yet one day aid in avenging him. I have no
personal interest eugnged m the Cuban cause ;
uiy life is all I could give to it; and if 1 regret
b ang obscure and unknown, it is only because
n more elevated position would have given more
weight to my words—words which are dictated
by a sincere and well-convinced heart.

THE LATE RIOT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Arrest of Thirty-Five of tlio Men.
Baltimore, Sept. 15, A. M.
The United States authorities have thus far
arrested thirty-five urifc, mostly negroes, who
were connected with the recent riot at Chris
tiana, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They
are charged with murder and high treason.
The evidence against them is very strong.
These are sonic of flic persons who fired upon
the U. S. Marshal, und the Messrs. Gohsuch,
two respectable citizens of Muryluud, who wero
attempting to recapture several of their fugitive
slaves thut bud escaped to Pennsylvania.
[Wo urn gratified to learn tiiat the govern
ment lias taken prompt steps to sustain the laws,
and that some nt least of the perpetrators of the
late outrage in Pennsylvania liavo been arrested.
We hope that justice will lie mcetcd out to them
without stint, and tliut they may not be per
mitted to escape through the forms of n mock
ti ini, us was the case when Mr. Kennedy of Mary
land was killed, when in pursuit of bis property,
by the abolition mob of Carlisle, Pu., in i 8-18——•
or as in the case of the rescuers of Bhadracli, in
Boston, lust spring.—El). News.]

Philadelphia, Sept. 15, P. M.
Intelligence bus been received here that fifty
one arrests have been made of parties implica
ted in the Christiana outrage, at Lancaster coun-
tv.
The U. S. Marshal, and Commissioner In-

, The Right lihnl of a Consul.
A Canadian paper, commenting upon the luto
summary massacre of Americuiis in Hnvauu,
Huy a thut the impression is prevalent thut hud a
British or French man-of-war been lying in the
harbor, us was the United States sloop-of-wur
Albany, and Imd u British or French consul been
in the city, such n wholesale massacre of Brit
ish or French subjects would not have taken
place. It then relates the following anecdote :
In 1820, two English sailors, who Imd com-
nftud a crime in Havana, were about to be shot.
They were clearly guilty, but the British Con
sul insisted that they should be tried. This the
Gj.. rmneiit icfuscd. The Consul remonstrated
and the Captain General became insolent. The
hour of executiou came and the Consul was on
the? spot; he brought with him the consular flag,
the British “ Union Jack^’ and again earnestly
remonstrated, but iu vain. The umber on the
The U. S. Mail schooner William Sc John,
Cupt. Parker, arrived at this city yesterday,
from Havana, which plucc she left on the 8th
inst.
Capt. Parker reports that on the day he
sailed from Havunu,a Spanish transport left thut
city for Spain, having on hoard the American
captured prisoners who constituted a portion of
Gen. Lopez’s expedition. They numbered one
hundred und sixty persons.
The Captain confirms the report of the release
of four of the prisoners, lie also says that on
the day he arrived ut Key West, there was con
siderable excitement and difficulty at thut place,
in consequence of its having been stated thut an
Officer of the Spanish Government, in the ca
pacity of a spy, had arrived there in a Spanish
smack, from Havana. In consequence of this
report, the citizens ot Key West hud broken up
all the Spanish shops in the place, and (lint (hey
endeavored to tukc tlio Spanish smack, with the
intention of burning her. They did not succeed
in tuking her, she having escaped.
The city of Huvunu is reported quiet.
The U. fcb sloop-of-wur Saranac, Commo
dore Barker, was at Huvunu.
New Cotton.—The Atlanta Intelligencer, o
11th inst., says the first bale of new cotton,
weighing G4G lbs., has been received iu that
place. It was raised by Isaac Howell, of Camp
bell county, and sold by Messrs. Howell's Ac
Purr, to J. G. Trammell, Esq., lor 8$ cents, on
Thursday last.
The Weather.—Yesterday was a cold,
damp und cloudy duy, will} a strong wind from
the Noith, which made winter clothing quite u-
greeable.
The Fire Anniliilntor.
An experiment was made at Mr. Miller’s
foundry, on Friday evening last, with a Fire
Annihilator, recently imported from England,
for the Committee of the Savunnah Fire De
partment. 'Baking into consideration tlio cir
cumstances under which the trial wus made, the
tremendous draught over the thy, the great com
bustibility of tlio mptcriuls with which it was
Composed, and other difficulties, wc fecl«utis(ied
the eamt Hire, would have extinguished a fire
twice tit large as that of Mr. Miller’# foun
dry. Tlio gns generated by the union of the
various mixtures, lias immense power over a
flame, and subdues it instantly, the blaze shrink
ing from it like a wounded 6nakc.
Flora these results, we are warranted in say
ing, that an invention has been given to the
world, which is of the utmost importance to so
ciety, and which will tend to diminish the fearful
anxiety and terror of a midnight conflagfation.
Every city and village in the countiy should
have these machines constantly ready for every
emergency, and one or two of them should be
an indispensable requisite to every residence.
Wc rejoice nt the invention, and heartily wish
that the man who lias presented to the world
this great contribution, may for ever be held as a
benefactor to the human race. In connection
with this subject, wo find an interesting article
from the London Morning Herald, upon the
value of the Annhilators on bourd vessels,
in port oral sea, which is worthy of perusal :
A public demonstration of the efficacy of this
invention in extinguishing fires on board ships
was made yesterday, on bourd the Wear, u vessel
of 150 tons burthen, moored off the Folly house,
near the Folly-wall. Tlio vessel was filled with
the following materials, iu order, to test the
power of the agent employed : One dozen sugar
hogsheads, saturated with sugar; one dozen
turpentine barrels, saturated witli rosin und tur
pentine ; one dozen tar barrels, and twenty sul
phur bags, these filled with shavings and other
combustibles. 'Flic hold of the vessel being
thus filled, the signal wus given und the whole
muss of combustibles was set light to from the
bottom of the fore part of the hold, und it was
allowed to bum with the batches closed for sev
eral minutes. Mr. Phillips then showed that in
the absence of the admission of a great body of
air, such a burning mass might continue for
several hours on board a ship, and yet scarcely
be perceived. He then supposed tlio case of a
ship on fire, under such circumstances; he call
ed to the supposed crew, to clue up their suils,
and iii order to ascertain the extent of the fire, (a
mode usiiully practised,) he lind the hatchway
opened—the rush of air iu an instent caused the
flumes to ascend with immense power, so much
so, that many on the vessel thought it prudent
to make good their retreat by the ladder which
was placed amidships. The “ conflagration”
was permitted to rage for several minutes; after
which the word being given by Mr. Phillips, his
men brought the portable machines forward.
Each of these portable machines is about
twenty horse power, that is to say, that from the
peculiarity of the invention, the vapor, from the
nozzle or spout of each, wits admitted at that
ratio. Two of these were brought iu succes
sion on the burning muss from the mouth of the
hatchway, and iu three seconds the vapor hud
extinguished the great body of the flame, leav
ing one or two small points where flame wus dis
cernible; and iu about two minutes the vessel
was almost clear of smoke. The inventor ob
served that of course in such an emergency the
crew of a ship would be employed in extinguish
ing the 'Smouldering fragments by supplies of
water. The marvellously sudden disappearance
of the flames elicited loud cheers from the gen
tlemen on board, und those on the shore who
were within twenty yards of the vessel. 8th

Joke on a Dairyman.—A Worcester dairy
man wus awoke by a wag nt midnight with the
announcement that bis best cow was chunking.
He forthwith jumped up to save tho life of
Crummie, wheu, lo! he found a turnip stuck in
the epout of the pump,
was
.'employed, was of a very emull size, the outer
cylindrical machine being about 18 inches in
height and 9 inches in diameter. It is furnished
with two cylinders inside, iu one of which is
about a gallon und a hnlfof water. The charge,
which resembles bluck lead, is inclosed in the
other, nud consists of u compound of charcoal,
nitre, and gypstun, moulded into tho form of a
brick. There is u cavity in the top of the charge,
which is filled with two phials, the one contain
ing a mixture of potussu nud sugar, the other a
few drops of sulphuric ucid. This being closely
covered up, and the top placed over the ma
chine, it is put iu operation by striking u pin
which hrenks the phiuts, and ignites tho charge,
The gas acting upon the water produces tlio
steam, which escapes from an aperture made for
tho purpose. The flame is extinguished iu
stnntl) by jts contact with the gas.
The combustibles which composed the fire,

penis that Air. Edward Gnrsnch, his son DiX
enstm Gorstich, Nathan Nelson, Air. Hutchins
und unother person from Baltimore couutv had
gono to the above piece, to procure the arrest nf
some absconded slaves. Tho runaways with
sumo negroes of the place, hud taken refuge !
u house, nnd on tho U. S. Marshal, with his
posso, iu company with tho above named nel
sons approaching, the negroes sallied from the
house nnd bred upon thbin, killing Air. E Go.
such, instantly, and mortally wounding his son'
from which ho afterwards died. Air. Nelson unj
Air. Hutchins wero also severely injured - the
others esenped unhurt. Tho Marshal’s party
then hied upon the negroes, and it is said, ki|| e ',|
four of thorn. At the timo of making tho snllv
one of the negroes struck tho corpse of the elder
Air. Gorsuch, with an axe, splitting his skull
the body of Mr. D. Gorsuch was nearly out it!
two by a blow from a scythe.
In addition wo learn that Dr. Pierce and Air
Hutchins ate missing, nnd fears arc entertained
that these huvo also fallen victims to ilia dc 8 .
perntion of the negroes. Tho greatest excite
ment prevailed in the neighborhood upon the
subject.
The doccnscd resided about twenty miles
from this city, on tlio York rend, and were held
in the highest estimation by all who knew them.
Air. Gorsuch and his friends finding himself
overcome, retired front tlio house nnd ns soon ns
(hey emerged were fired upon from the upper
windows ofthe house und ultaclted|by the crowd
outside. Edward Gorsueh’wusshot in the brenst
and fell dead, his sou was shot in the urm and
shoulder, and is reported this morning lo have
sineo died from his wounds, both having been
beaten with clubs after being shot. Joshua
Gorsuch. a nephew of Edward Goisuch, was
shot, nnd though still living, is considered to he
in great danger. Dr. Thomas I’ierca wus butllv
shot nail beaten nnd it is fenrod cannot survive.
Air. Hutchins and Mr. Nelson escaped mid cut
off to Philadelphia.
Fugitive Slave Case 1 * near Lancastek
Pa—Tehrible Riot and Loss of Life.—
From tho Philadelphia Inquirer of Sept. ]“’th
it appears that Air. Gorsuch, the owner of two
fugitive slaves from Baltimore oouuly, accom
panied by his two sons, the Deputy United
.Stales Marshal, from Baltimore, two United
States officers from this city, and several police
men, also from this city, proceeded on Wednes
day evening, to Christiana, about 21 miles this
side of Lancaster, for tlio purpose of arresting
the fugitives.
After u consultation between the officers, it
was deemed inexpedient to make the arrest until
yesterday morning. From the best reports we
earn that tho colored population in the vicinity,
having been informed of tho nature of tho visit
of tho officers to Christiana, held a mooting nail
asked tho opinion of several leading Abolition-
ists tvhnt course they should pursue.
The answer was, as one of tho most current
reports states, that they should stand their
ground. Accordingly, about 80 negroes as
sembled, with guns, &.C., anil secreted them
selves in tho neighboring woods nnd cornfiolds.*
When tlio officers came upon the party, tliuv
wore surrounded on all sides, nnd a deadly fire
poured upon them by tho negroes. At the first
lire, Air. Gorsuch, the owner of the fugitive
slaves, was instantly killed, and one of his sons
mortally wounded.' Another of the purty, snid
to be a United States Doputy officer from Bui-
timore, was also much hurt.
A Philadelphia officer was fired nt five times
ami missed.
’Pile wounded Baltimore officer was in Colum
bia when tho line came through, waiting for the
curs to York.
The excitement in the neighborhood wus in
tense.
A telegraphic despatch was received at the
office of tlio Alarshnl of Police, dated nt Lancas
ter, asking that officers might ho sent to West
Philadelphia to intercept the murderers, who lind
fled m the slow line.
Tho corpse of tlio cider Air. Gorsuch was
taken up to Columbia lust night, in the cars, by
Air. Hiutn, for the purpose of being conveyed to
Baltimore via York, Pn.
Tho frcinds and officors who accompanied Air.
Goisuch nnd his sou, were completely over
whelmed. Two of tho number nrc missing, and
supposed to he murdered.
The assailing party was bonded by an old
negro preacher. When he saw the fallen bodies
of Air. Gorsuch and son, lie rushed forward,
with his arms extended saying, '* forbear, men,
forbear. You’ll nil be hung! They are dead!”
There is some sympathy for the dead, but the
citizens seemed afraid to express it. They
hove apprehensions for tho sufety of their lives
and property at the hands of the black rioters
and their white abettors.
We must add that Air. Gorsuch tho elder, was
not only brutally murdered, hut robbed by the
blacks, after ho was dead, of $400 in money.
Hungarians in the United States.—Cap
tains Brich, Lichtenstein nnd Bukovitz, late ofthe
Hungarian army, aro now in Washington city ob
delegates ot ono hundred and twenty-eight Hun
garians who lately arrived from Shumla. We
learn by tho National Intelligencer that they
have been directed by Kossuth to advise with
Milo. Jagiello, (now Airs. Tochman,) about the
means of reaching the colony which Gen. Ujhnzi
formed in Iowa, where all propose to settle.
There arc fifteen Hungarian ladies with them,
all married. The delegates wore on Tuesday
introduced by AInjor and Airs. Tochman to tho
President, and cordially received by him. In
answer lo their salutations, the President ex
pressed his satisfaction that they aud their
leader, Kossuth, have chosen this country for
their home, nnd assured them that they will find
friends whorever they may settle.
Italy and Austria—A lottcr from Vienna
speaks confidently of the increased disaffection
in the Italian provinces. The cause assigned
for it is tho despair of the nation at finding itself
absorbed ;n the AustriaiiJEuipire, instenoofoil*
joying, as wus expected, a separate administra
tion. It is stated that the military power is
fully prepared to support the Government iu ull
emergencies, so that a successful rising in the
Lombardo Venetian kingdom is entirely out of
,? e , question. This letter states that a warm
diplomatic correspondence on the subject ofthe
liberation of Kossuth and his companions is kept
up between Austriu, Russia, and the Porte, but
thut unless the disturbed state of Italy should
induco the. Sultan to alter his determination, the
1st (13th) of September is the day on which these
prisoners will regain their liberty. The Em
peror bus lately arrived at Ischl,but it i« said
he will return there in September. Prince Met-
ternich wus about to return with his family to
Vienna for a few weeks.
53^ A letter from Rome states thut Mr. Craw
ford’s model ofthe rtutue of Patrick Henry for tho
Virginia Washington Monument, is finished, nnd
has received high praise—especially from His
Mujesty the Ex-Ki!7g of Buvnria. One of the
bas-reliefs, representing Virginia trampling upon
tyrannical oppressions, is nearly finished. The
architectural portion of the monument, under
the general superintendence of Mr. Mills, and
the immediate direction of Mr. Rand, is grad
ually rising in its graceful and elegant propor
tions—being nearly ready for the reception of tho
pedestals for the six stutues.
53F 'J >’he Chinese insurrection against tho
Tartar dynasty continues to gain strength. The
protended Emperor is reported to he at present
stopping at Bin Cbuu, departmental city of
Kwang-si, having a water communication with
Canton, whence it is distant about 200 miles. In
n letter from one of his followers wc find it stated
thut Teenteh is himself at the head of the rebel
forces, whom he led to' victory in the middle
term of the third month of the present year,
(ubouttwo months ago,) when 10,000 ofthe gov
ernment troops were destroyed, being hemmed
in a narrow pathway through n wood.
AIexico and England The New Orleans
Picayune says that Air. President Arista, of
Mexico, asked ol tho English Minister what aid
England would afford AIexico, in case war will*
the United States should result from the an
nulling of the Tehuantepec treaty. The Minis
ter replied, “None."
