The Filibuster* of 1810.
For the benefit of it certain Col. Gi.am, of
Baton Rouge, and other ftistidious gontlomen,
who have, since the failure of the lute Cuban
movement, distinguished thenisclvco hy their
indignant denunciations of the Filibusters, as
they arc pleased to call fill who sympathized
with the Cubans and thb patriot Lopez.—the
editor of the New Orleans Delta furnishes the
following brief history of events which occurred
in this country in the year 1810:
It was in 1810, says the Delta, thut a number
of young Americans, who resided in the Spanish
Colony of East Florida, now tho Florida Par
ishes, as they Rre called, ol this State, aided by
others, who lived across the river in Louisiana,
or across the line in Mississippi, came to the
conclusion that the existence of a despotic and
corrupt Government like thut of Spam, in the
vicinity of the United States, was a reproach to
our free citizens, as well as u nuisance, and an
impediment to the spread ol our institutions
throughout the South-west. They therefore
determined to overthrow the Government, drive
out the Spaniards, and annex the Floridu
parishes to the United States. Prominent among
these conspirators, were some gentlemen who
have since figured largely in the history of our
State, enjoying a groat degree of popular confi
dence. These were Dr. Skipwith, so long
known ns a leading politician; tho late Judge
i.tanph Johnson, father of our late Governor;
mol Collins, of Bayou Sara, and Colonel
...wkoy, of Baton Rouge, who still live, univer
sally respected for their many virtues ; and Gen
eral Philomel! Thomas, a patriarch of the revo
lution, who, during his life was regarded with
tho deepest veneration throughout the State,
whoso portrait wus hung in our Legislative Hall,
by the side of those of Washington and Andrew
Jackson, as n special mark of admiration and
e8teem * ,11. U (,«, *t
These gentlemen were the lending l'minis
ters” of their age. They collected together the
American population iu the neighborhood, w rote
a Declaration of Indep* udence, the original of
which is now in the possession ol our Inend
Judge Carregan, Private Secretary ol the Gov
ernor, armed themselves, and, dividing into two
parties, marched towards Baton Rogue, which
was then the seat of the Spanish Government,
and was strongly fortified. One company ol
horsemen inarched from Bayou Sura along the
coast, whilst General Thomas, with u force ol
Rosin-Heels, came down from the plains and
took the town in the rear. The Spaniards were
surprised,—the Americans gnllopped in the gates
and called on them to surrender. The officer in
command refusing, wus shot down. The sol
diers rallied, and were ubout to roBist, when the
veil of the Rosin-Heels, led by Gen. Thomas,
wus heard, and they were seen clambering over
the walls with their long euns and knives.—
*• Down with your arms,” bellowed Gen. Tho
mas, “ or we’ll blow you to , ye minions of
despotism—we come to give you freedom and
Republicanism, and if you don’t like it, we will
shove it down your throats with the bayonet.’
This appeal was irresistible. The Spaniards
surrendered, evacuated tho pluce, and retired to
Havana, and the flag of Republican freedom 1ms
ever since waved over the very place whence
Colonel Elam discharges his missiles against
every similar effort to extend Free Institutions
on this continent. Thus did Louisiana acquire
that rich and beautiful region, now inhabited by
a hundred thousand souls, and producing u vast
amount of wealth. The men who were engaged
in this gallant movement were ever afterwards
revered as patriots and heroes. But even in
thut age, there were people in the Republic (they
were, liowevo.r, confined to the region north ol
Mason aud Dixon’s line,) who denounced 1 hom
es, Johnson, Skipwith, and their gallant com-
leers, as outluws and freebooters. But they
ived to disprove these calumnies, and having
secured, for the United States, this valuable
country, most of them died in comparative pov
erty, of still live, in narrow circumstances, hon
ored for their virtues, their patriotism, and then-
heroism in tho cause of Republican Liberty.

Prosrt’H" of Internal Improvement:* In
Alnbninn.
Within a com|mmiivoly short period—uot ex
ceeding live years—says tho Mobile Tribune,
the people of Mobile huvo been convinced of
tho fousibility of constructing u railroad to con
nect Ibis city pith the mouth of tho Ohio liver,
which conviction led to nil efficient organization
nt once, and now the work is in u stale of pro
gression that renders its curly completion cor-
tnin. Hv tlio 1st January next, thirty-threo
miles of the rend will be finished and in opera
tion, aud before thut time the grading of some
two hundred usd lifty miles more will ho under
contract. Tlroj alternate sections of laud on
ouch side of tlio line, granted hy Congress to
the company, uro already located, and within
six months or less tho ufluirs of the road will bo
iu a condition that the stockholder, if so dis-
posed, can muke terms with capitalists for the
entire completion of the work within five years
from Junimry, 1852. But should tlio directors
continue the work as now conducted it will
advance steadily and he finished in a reasona
ble time.
The Alabama and Tennessee river Railroad
is also going ultcud finely, and before a twolve-
montli closes fifty-six miles will he finished und
in operation Beyond that point (Montovallo)
contracts huvo been entered into for most of tho
grading, and there cun bo hut litilo doubt that
by 1855 or 185fi the whole road to Gadsden will
ho built.
There is now a project on foothy other parties
to extend this road from Gadsden to Chattanooga
in Tennessee, or to Ringold on the Georgia Rail
load. This would connect with similar works
in Tennessee, Virginia, &c., und when nil are iu
operation would afford a direct and speedy route
to New York, Boston, &c. These works, witli
somo others in contemplation, of minor impor
tunee, show that the people of our state are de
mined to press forward in such works of the
kind us will facilitate inter-communication, de
velopo our resources and augment our innimfiie
Hires and commerce.
The subjoined letter, which has licen placed
in our hands for publication, will give the neces
sary information in regard to the contemplated
road from Gadsden to Gluittnnoogu. Wc hope
Mobile will he represented in the convention to
he held at Cedar Bluff. If wo can give no di
rect aid in money, we can help to diffuse a spirit
for railroad and other improvements through out
tho state, that will by and hy being rich re

Dear Sir:—We held a public meeting in this
pluce ou yesterday, lor tho purpose of getting up
a railroad from Gudsdcn, in tins county, to Chut-
tanoogu, Tennessee, or to Ringold on the Gcor-
• Inmit* ( Minitniiiintrii. All llllVC COll-
Cuba OifllcnlticH.
Wo learn, says tho Tallahassee Floridian, ot
tho 20th inst., from a report brought by the schr.
Elizabeth from Key West, thut one of the muil
steamers came into that place a few days since,
from Havana, without the mail, and gave ns a
reason jhat tho authorities of Havana refused to
let it be carried aboard. It ia further stated that
an interview with the Captain General hud been
sought hy Commodore Parker, but it was de
clined j and that in consequence of this the
Commodore hud quit tho city and gone aboard
his vessel accompanied hy the Consul,Mr. Owen.
The interview which was sought, had relation
to tho present state of difficulties in Cuba, and
the interests of tho U. States therein, growing
out of tho connection of her citizens with the
late unfortunate expedition. Commodore Parker
wnH acting in behalf of his Government, and wc
suppose the treatment he received was regard
ed us a public indignity.
What is to bo the end of this Cuba business
cannot be foreseen. There arc many tilings
tending strongly to turn it into u national uffair.
If tho above report is true, it is evident that a
difficulty is brewing of a serious nature. And
it may be thut a close inquiry into tho means by
which tho lute expedition was brought about
will furnish other grounds for national interfe
rence in boliulf of captured Americans.
The Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. of tbe United
States—Report of tbo Grand Secretary.
The Grand Lodge of the I. O. of O. F. of the
United Statss, is still in session in Baltimore
and it is understood, huvo Borne very important
secret business on hand, especially the proposi
.lion to establish a degree for tlio wives of bio
thers of the scarlet degree. Tlio debate on this
quostion has been warm beyond ull precedent,
and it is thought that the proposition will fail.
The Grand Secretary of the order, in his an
nual report, sets out with u general congratula
tion, as to the prosperity und harmony of the
order, and says, that at no time siuco lie bus had
the honor of occupying the office, has ho had
greater pleasure in presenting his unnual report.
Sundry duties, imposed on him by resolutions
of the last Grand Lodge, have been performed^
and tlio revision of ihc journal of the Gram
I.odge is in tho course of completion. Most of
the State grand bodies have paid up,, although
under protest, the assessment levied under the
per diem andtniioage law. This payment, it is re
gretted, has been deferred, to tho manifest loss of
the treasury, as valuable Btocks had to he sold
at a price below their value, to meet deficiencies.
The reports from all tho States and territories of
tlio Union, and from the Sandwich Islands, aro
of the most Haltering character. Now lodges
and encampments aro being established, and the
membership is increasing with peace und har
mony throughout. A statement of receipts from
all sources is given, showing the totul of $13,-
477 88 ; but this is not final, us a supplementary
report will bo made before the close of the ses
sion. The funds in the treasury at the last ses
sion, amounting to $C,007, were exhausted in
discharge of the per diem and mileage accruing
under the law of 1841). It is estimated that the
receipts of tho last fiscal year will fall short of
the estimate of the committee on finance. Tho
supplementary report will exhibit the whole

For some days paBt, one of the subjects most
frequently discussed amongst tho sporting and
pleasure taking people of this capital Ims been
the baiting of wild boasts, intended to take place

four in tho afternoon, but they did not commence
until a quarter after five, when the hand, striking
up the royal march, made the people, who had
already become restless with delay, aware that
her Majesty, the Queen Mother, and his Mn-
jestv, the King, had entered tlio royal box. 1 lie
young daughters of tho Duke of Rmnzares oc
cupied another, adjoining that of the royal family.
Tlio pit wus thin, for only a part of the circus
was shaded from tho sun.
Upon a given signal, Mr. Brice and his assis
tants brought forward a largo cage, from tho door
way of which rushed out a red wolf ol the Cau
casus. Tho animal was not disposed for a con
test, notwithstanding tho fierceness of his pic
ture on tho play bills; and tlio company saw
him viold to flight before two good hounds, with
out a show of resistance to tlio gripes that tho
fiery dogs bestowed upon him. In a little time,
tho wolf returned to his cugo amidst a salvo ol
hisses, and was tiod up with a rope like tiro
meekest lamb.
Next issued a hyena, truly fierce to look upon,
hut who gained little advantage against a brace
of mastiffs that sprung at onco upon linn. Ho
contended with them a good deal, yielding him
self nt last to the martyrdom of the many assaults
und gripes they made upon him. ’1 he hyena
gavo the dogs somo gripes, and wus at length
drawn into his cago hv a noosed rope, not with
out uttering some yells of grief and rage.
4 boar of tho Polar Son wus then presented.
It ailncked, one with another, nt the least thir
teen dogs, which turned madly upon him, und
left him not a moment’s ease. I he bear made
good strokes with his paws, und udroitly turned
about upon his aggressors. 1 hoy scarcely
came to close quarters with linn hut upon one
occasion, when ono of tho hounds, that which
surpassed all tlio others, sprang upon the licust,
and continued struggling with him lor some
time. This hurlv-burly of carnivorous nni-
mals tired out at length, tho bear entered Ins
cage, sufficiently worried, anil tlio dogs witli-
d, The principal part of the exhibition over, tho
minds of the spectators were in suspeuso, sonic
thinking thut there would he nothing more to he
seen, whilst others expected still to see the
fierce contest of two more beautiful animals. A
hull of Colmenan Viejo, belonging to Don Viu-
cento Martinez,then presented himself in the ring,
with much grace und agility. His name was
Carinosa the Darling, four to five years old, ol n
bright mottled color, with a fine uspect and well
armed in hoof und horn, and a lion was uot slow
in making his appearance. Beautiful m stature,
nml lorig-mnncd, it showed two extraordinary
sets of teeth in vory graceful rows. Nearing Ins
competitor, ho went up to tlio bull in bis liont,
with a proud und noble bearing. 'J ho Darling,
making use of bis united horns, gave Ihe.lion u
thrust that threw him on the ground, r Hiding
himself so uncourteously treated, lie sprang ut
the hull’s shoulder, designing to fix his grip ut
the buck of tlio neck ; but the monurch ot tlio
woods hud no talons, and by tbo strongest gripe
ot bis claws could not rend the hide. Had the
lion been better furnished in this respect, he
niiM. would doubtless have succeeded. At length the
bull shook off bis opponent, who was left with
all the hair in his teeth. Tbe bull, turning sud
denly round, closed upon the lion, giving nun
three or four revolutions und thrusts, hnishing in
a moment with the true blow. The offspring of
the desert of Sahara, smitten with fear of the
son of Colmenun, yielded up the field, amidst an
immense sulvo of bruvos und hurruhs.
Then succeeded u sccno disgraceful to u civi

Decidedly Cool.—A vory cool answer from
a sophomore' is indelibly recorded among the me
mories of onr college days.
Professor had a peculuirly red nesej so
red, indeed, that it was usually deemed a sign
that tho interior of (lie toinplo was dedicated to
Bacchus. Upon this point tho Professorwaa pe
culiarly sensitive.
Ono day u chestnut, propelled by some invisi
ble hand, hurtled across the room, aad cumo so
violently in contact with tlio learned gentleman's
bald pate, that glancing off, it spun almost up
to tho coiling.
“ Mr. F ,” thundered out the Professor,
“ that was you, sir; Iknowit,sir; don’t deny it,
sir; void- blushes betray you, air.”
“Do you think that I Uush, sir?” modestly
asked the student.
“ Blush!” retorted tho Professor, “ your fuce

“ Pardon mo, sir,” replied F , “ I think it’s
only tho reflectionpf light! perhaps you looked
ut mo over your nose.’

Tlio Vilest Calumny of the Age.
The Spaniards have the credit of perpetrating
the most brutal and barbarous deeds of modern
times, in the shooting of the patriotic young
men captured near Bahia Honda. The National
Intelligencer is entitled to the still grouter in
famy of publishing tho hluckcBt and foulest ca
lumny which lintt outraged truth and decency in
our day- Hero it is:
“ Whatever name inny ho given to Lopez and
his followers, overy woll-informed man knows
liicir real character, and it is an insult to com
mon sense to nttemut to disguise tho truth.
They are engaged in one of the vilett attcnipU
at robbery that ever disgraced humanity, and
if there in any difference between them and com
mon pirates, the latter can claim the advan
tage, for what they do they do openly, under the
black flag. They, tho pirates, do not add the
meanness of the swindler to their darkercrimes.”
permit it: und they did right. But, instond of
this, ordering the bull to he withdrawn, and
leaving the lion prostrate on the earth, they put
on their hats und quitted tlio circus, lcnvint; the
public to do as thev would. A part of the _us-
semblv then descended the stages, nnd rushing
out of the ring with the conquered lion, they tell
barbarously upon him, some with stakes, some
with walking sticks, and somo with pocket
knives. This was trulv a scene of savages
Tho lion died in nil iniquitous manner undor the
linnds of n crowd, who perpetrated mischief m
stab after stab upon that beautiful animal. Wo
(snvs the reporter) absconded the circus in indig
nation, not to seem to concur with so shameful a
deed, ami lamenting thut the authorities had giv
en occasion to it by leaving their box before the
proper time.
Such is the description literally given by La
Cion, of tho 28th of July, a liberal constitution,
al newspaper of Madrid, of the diversions of tho
Spanish court and gentry in 1851. Another cor
respondent states, that there havo been throe or
four of these baiting of wild beasts bosides bull
fights twice a week. What must bo tho unmor
al and brutalizing influence of such exhibitions
upon a sensativc and excitable people, and upon
tho youthful of both scxch ? The bul* fights
are providstl and directed by the municipal
authorities; they are patronized by their j)re«-
cnco. and the pecuniary proceeds are sometime*
applied to hospitals and institutions. Thought
ful and scriou* Spaniards, however, regard those
remaining customs of a heathen and degraded
age with shame and disgUBt, and do not hesitate
to say that the court nnd ministry hold it their
policy to endeavor to deprave the moral sensi
bilities of the people by diversions, processions,
nnd formal dovotions, in order to distract their
desires for better law, better administration, bet
tor morlas in high life and low life, and better
religion. Can it possibly be, that any govern
ment, however selfish, can debase m order to
rule—can labor to stultify the mind ot its own
country, in order to gratify its temporary ambi
tion and avarice ? But that such is the tendency
of bull fights, and exhibitions of tho tormenting
of wild boasts, no reflective and right-minded
person can have tho shadow of a doubt.
Horrible Brutality Toward* a Child.
The following details of one of tho most shock
ing barbarities committed in a community of
civilized people, has seldom been equalled m the
annals of crime. So revolting to human nature
is the statement made to us, wc scarcely can
give it credence. Wc give the particulars, how
ever, as they have been narrated to us. In Mor-
gun county, not long age, a citizen died, leaving
a widow and two small children, tlio oldest a
irirl about seven years of ago. Not long after
the death of her husband, tho woman married
again. Soon the girl died, and very recently the
boy was reported mipsing. 1 he sudden and
mysterious disappearance of the child, together
with the fact that, upon the death of the woman’s
first husband, his property was left to the two
children, aroused suspicion in the neighborhood,
when a search was made for tho boy. He wos
found in tho woods adjacent, with both legs
broken, nnd his mouth sowed up—being still
alive, however, he was property cared, when he
reported that his mother and step-father hud
been the prepetrutors of the deed, and, in addi
tion, that his sister's skull had been broken by
them, which caused her death. The boy's state
ment further tended to dovolope the fact that the
girl was known, before her death, to have had a
bandage around her head : and upon the body
boiug exhumed, it was found as the boy had
stated, that the skull was fractured. The pa
rents were arrested and imprisoned at Versailles.
