Whereas a treaty between the United States
of America and tbe Mexican Republic was con

thirtieth day oi December, one thousand eight
hundred and fifty-three, which treaty, as amen
ded by the Senate ol toe United States, and be
ing in the English and Spanish languages, is word
lor word as lollows:
in the name of Almighty God:
The Republic ot Mexico and the United States
of Arneiica, desiring to remove every cause*of
disagreement which might interfere in any man
ner with the better trendsbip and intercourse be
tween the two countries, and especially in re
spect to the true limits which should be estab
- Juhed when, notwithstanding what was cove
:? canted in tha treaty ot Guadalupe Hidalgo in the
iyear 1848. opposite interpietauons have been
I urge!, which might give occasion to questions
■ of serious moment: »o avoid these, and to strength
i en and more firmly maintain the peace which
■faknpiiy prevaiisjK-fween The two republics, the
j%e. appointed James Gadsden, Envoy Extra
orSinaiy and Minister Plenipotentiary of the
same, near the Mexican government, and the
President ot Mexico has appointed as plenipo
tentiary "ad hoc ” his excellency Don Manuel
D;rZ de Bonilla, cavalier grand cross of the na
tional and distinguished older ot Guadalupe, and
Secretary ot State, and of the office of Foreign
Rvlatn ns, and Don Jose, Salazar Ylarregui and
General Mariano Monterde as scientific com-
invented with full po ers tor this
negotiator), who, having communicated their
respecwve lull jiowess, and finding them in due
end pioper lotm, have agreed upon the articles
following?
The Mexican Republic agrees to designate the
following as her true limits with tbe United
Statu tor the tuture, retaining the same dividing
line between the two ( aiitornias as already de
fined and established, according to the sth arti
cle or tbe treaty ot Guadalupe Hidalgo, the lim
i * between the two republics shall be as fol
lows l Beginning in tbe Gulf ot Mexico, three
l*agues trom land, opposite the mouth ot the Rio
Grande, as provided in the fifth article ot the
treaty ot Guadalupe Hidalgo; thence, as defined
in the said article, up the middle of that river to
the p rint where the parallel of 31 deg 47 min.
north latitude crosses the same ; thence due west
one hundred miles; thence south to the parallel
o 31 deg. 20 mm. north latitude; thence along
the said parallel of 31
meridian of longitude westol Green wich; thence
in a straight line ato oint. on the Colorado riv
er twenty English miles below the junction of
tbe Gila and Colorado rivers; thence up the mid
dle ol tbe said river Colorado until it intersects
the present line between the United States and
Mexico.
Fur the performance of this portion of the trea
ty, eacn o! the two governments shall nominate
one commissioner, to the end that, by common
consent, the two thus nominated, having met in
the city of Paso del Norte, three months after
the exchange ot the ratifications ot this treaty,
may proceed to survey and mark out upon the
land the dividing line stipulated by this article,
where it shall not have already been surveyed
and estab isbed by the mixed commission, ac
cording to the treaty of Guadalupe, keeping a
journal an 1 making proper plans of their opera
tions. For this purpose, if they should judge it
necessary, the contracting parties shall be at liber
ty each to unite to its respective commissioner,
scientific or other assistants, such as astronomers
and surveyors, whose concurrence shall not be
considered necessary for the settlement end ra
tification ol a true line of division between the
two republics; that line shall be alone establish
ed upon which the commissioners may fix, their
consent in this particular being considered deci
sive ai dan integral part of this treaty, without
neces ity of ulterior ratification or approval, and
without room for interpretation ot any kind by
either ottbe parties contracting.
The dividing line thus established shall, in all
time, be faithfully respected by the two govern
ments, without any variation therein, unless of
the express and free consent oi the two. given in
conformity to the principles ot the law of nations,
and in accoidance with the constitution of each
country respectively.
In consequence, the stipulation in the sth ar
ticle oi the treaty ot Guadalupe upon the boun
dary line therein described is no longer of any
force, wnerein it may conflict with that here es
tablished, the said line being considered annulled
and abolished wherever it may not coincide with
the present, and in tbe same manner remaining
in full force where in accordance with the
same.

ARTICLE VU.
Should there at any future period (which God
forbid) occur any disagreement between the two
nations which might lead to a rupture of their
relations and reciprocal peace, they hind them
selves in like manner to procure by every pos

and should they still in this manner not succeed’

without having previously pa d attention to what
has been set forth in article 21 of the treaty of
Guadalupe for similar cases; which article as
well as the 22d, is here reaffirmed.
ARTICLE VIII.
The Mexican government having on the sth
of February, 1853, authorized the early construc
tional a plank and railroad across the isthmus
of Tehuantepec, and to secure the stable benefits
of said transit way to tbe persons and meichan
dise of the citizens oi Mexico and the United
States, it is stipulated neither goverment will
interpose any obstacle to the transit of persons
and merchandise of both nations ; and at no time
shall higher charges be made on the transit of
persons and property of citizens of the United
States that may be made on the person and pro
perty of other foreign nations, nor shall any in
terest in said transit way, nor in the proceeds
thereof, be transferred to any foreign govern
ment.
The United States, by its agents, shall have
tbe right to transport across the isthmus, in clos

Tbe two governments will enter into arrange
ments for the prompt transit of troons and mu
nitions of the United States, which that govern
ment may have occasion to send from one pirt
of its territory to another, lying on opposite sides
ot the continent.
The Mexican government having agreed to

A Rpmakkable Hen —she following facts
have been communicated to us by a gentleman
in thi* city, whose statement may be relied upon
with entire confidence.
In February last he obtained a pair of Cochin
China lowls which had been hatched the previ
ous fall. Soon after getting them, the hen be
gan to lay, and continued to lay an egg every
day lor sixty ci nsecutive days. With the as
sistance of three hens of the common kind, these
eggs were all hatched, except three that were
accidentally broken, and lour that proved addle.
The Cochin hen set upon eighteen of her eggs,
from which she hatched and raised fifteen chick
ens. Sne carried her chickens hut two wee.-s,
when she began to lay agai , and lor more than
a month past she has lain an egg every day, rain
cr shine, and is still laying. Os ail the eggs
thus lar laid, there have been hatched seventy
seven chickens, tjjeee only of which have died
—leaving seventy-iour. Ot bhis number, the
first three bloods, consisting of about forty-five,
are now fit lor tbe tabie.
Thus in about five months this hen has laid
near or quite an hundred eggs, from which have
been raised seventy-four chickens, leaving still
about twenty eggs to be hatened. Five or six
weeks ot this time was consumed by the parent
hen in hatching and rearing a brood ot fifteen
chickens herself. This is truly a remarkable
production.
Our informant sta’es that this breed of fowls
is riot only large and prolific, but exceedingly
hardy and healthy. The only care taken of
those he has raised, was to coop them until they
giew sufficiently strong to follow the hens with
ease. They were led chiefly upon “ash-cakes ,J
—that is, upon corn meal mixed (without salt)
and baked iri the ashes. The hens had the free
dom ot the yard and an adj icerit oat field.— Sav.

Southern Pacific Railway Route. — A late
number of the Chickasaw Intelligencer states
that on the Isrh ult., there arrived at Preston,
Texas, trom El Paso, the U. S. Surveying party
sent to exploie the railway route through T'-xas
along the thirty-second parallel of latitude.—
This party was commanded by Captain John
Pope, of the Topographical Engineers, and left
El Paso on the 20th ol February, with an escort;
ot twenty-five soldiers and a number of assisting
men, striking for Preston in a direct line, with
: the exception of a deviation made in
pass through the Guadulape mountains. These'
were tound to be on the west side o the Pecos
river, instead of the east, as they are generally
laid do a non the maps. The party found a good
shoal ford on the Pecos, near the mouth ol Dela
ware creek, one hundred miles above the deep
and difficult place where the emigrants usually
cross by means of ratts. They crossed the Llano
Estacado, a distance of one hundred and'* twen
ty-five miles, and found no vegetation except a
kind of red grass, arid at intervals of from ten to
twenty-five miles another species of grass. As-
I ter leaving this desert they struck the head wa
iters of the Colorado, crossing Marey’a trail neai
! the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos. The
collections of specimens in botany, geology, and
j natural history gathered oy the survey are said
'to be quite extensive and interesting. Timber
abounds between Preston and the Colorado, and
j the surface of the country passed over was un
! duiating and adapted .lor railroad purposes.
Counterfeit Coin. —The officers of the
French Mint have detected an extraordinary in
stance of counterfeit coins executed within their
own walls. The centime, or one-fifth of a cent,
of copper, is just the size of the new gold five
franc [dece. One of the workmen ol the Mint
i employed in the gold department stole a quanti
ty of unstamped centimes, and slipping them in
i to the mill, obtained upon them the Govern
i rnent’s guarantee that they were gold, and worth
! a dollar. The color ol fresh copper is so nearly
j that ot gold, that nine persons out of ten, deceiv- j
ed by the impress, would pass easily over the:
slight difference of tint. The man circulated I
: them, by offering them as rare specimens of the
new currency,and thus actually challenging close
i inspection.
Remedy for Cholera. —The following ex
; tract fiotn the letter ot a clergyman to the Lord |
Lieutenant ot Ireland, presents a very simple,;
and, he savs effectual preventive of cholera, as
well as a remedy ot great power:
The preventive is simple—a teaspoonful of
powdered charcoal taken three or tour times a
week, in a cup ol coffee or other liquid, in the i
morning. Wb-n attacked with cholera, a mix- '
ture ot an ounce of charcoal, an ounce of laud- i
at.urn, and an ounce of brandy or oth-r spirits, i
may be given as follows, atter being well shak- I
en : A teaspoontui every five minutes In half j
an hour I have known this effectually to relieve !
and stay the disease. As the patient becomes
better, the mixture may be given at longer in
tervals. I have known a patient in the blue
stage, and collapsed, perfectly recovered in a few
houis.
The charcoal was tried as a preventive on a
large plantation in the Muritius, and not a sin
g*e individual out of 800 was attacked with
cholera.
Is it Painful to Die ’—According to my i
observation, the mere act ot dying is seldom, in j
any sense of the word, a very painful process.—
It is tiue that some persons die in a state of
bodily toiture, as in cases ot tetanus; that the I
drunkaid, dying of delrium tremens, is haunted !
by terrific visions; and that the victim of that j
most horrible of all diseases, hydrophobia, in
addition to those peculiar bodily sufferiugs from
which the disease has derived its name, may be
in a state ot terror trom the supposed presence ol
frightiul objects, which are presented to him as
realities, even to the last. But these and some ;
other instances which I might adduce, are excep
tions to the general rule—which is, that both
mental and bodily suffeung terminate long be
fore the tlfene i» nnaiiy closed. Then, as to the
actual fear of death, it seem 6 to me that the Au
thor of our existence, for the most part, gives it
to us when it is intended that we should live,
and takes it away from us when it is intended
that we should die. Those who have been long
tormented by bodily pain are geneialiy as anx
ious to die as they ever were to live. So it of
ten is with those whose life has teen protracted ■
to an extreme oid age, beyond tne usual period
of mortality, even when they labor u.,der no ac
tual disease.— Psychological Inquirer-

Judge Campbell and the Fillibusters.
The course pursued by Judge Campbell re
cently at New Orleans, illustrates the tendency
of power to pervert the natures of men, and in
spile a taste for tyranny. The iove of power is
natural to all. It lies dormant and concealed in
some men until a favorable occasion occurs to
develope it-. When the occasion does arrive,
lew men rise above the common nature, or are
restraining the propensity to indulge
extent of the temptation. In the
case ®f the Filibusters, Judge Campbell furnishes
a case in point. He ariives at New Orleans to
hold court. He hears and re ds rumors of fiili
bustering preparations and movements against
Cuba, and forthwith he seems to have set him
self up as public Piosecutor, with a zeal worthy
ot a Titus Oates, and a keen zest for victims
akin to that displayed by Lord Jeffries in his fa
mous riding ot the Western Circuit, ‘‘of which”
says Macauley, “ the memory will last as long
os our race and language.”
For a zealous discharge of his legitimate func
tions we could have for Judge Campbell none
other than words of commendation. Butin as
suming the part of Grand Inquisitor, and not
only spurring on the Grand Jury of New Or
leans to extraordinary exertions, but actual y
usurping their prerogatives, we behold something
other than the dignified display of the Judicial
arm. It is the Constable’s baton, not the scales
ol Justice, nor even her impartial sword, which
the learned Judge is seen flourishing with such
ferocious glee over citizens suspected of fillibus
tering.
The arrest and imprisonment of Gen. Quit
man, Mr. Thrasher, and A. L. Saunders, on the
breath of suspicion, without the allegation of a
feet, by any responsible person connecting them
with a violation of the laws of their country, is
a glaring infringement of the liberty ot the cit
izen. We admire the spirit of resistance they
have displayed to this arbitrary exercise of pow
er. We await with interest the proceedings for
their release from custody under the writ ot habeas
corpus. If these gentlemen can be proved to
have committed a misdemeanor, or to be prepar
ing to do so, by an expedition for the liberation
of Cuba, they are amenable to the law in such
case made ar.:d provided—a law which, under the
circumstances of obloquy and insult passed upon
our flag, should no longer be allowed a piace on
our Statute Book. But while it remains there
we have no right toVomplain of its
We have a right, however, to complain ot such
a construction of it, as would place every citi
zen ot the United States who sympathizes with
the oppressed Cubans, liable to be hurried to jail
by the mandate of a Federal Judge.
Mechanics’ Celebration of the Fourth at
Warrenton.
We have received a communication, purport
ing to be an account of a Mechanics’ Fourth of
July Celebration at Warrenton, and of the Ora
tion of Andrew Jackson, which is highly lauded.
But as no responsible na|me accompanied the
piece, we decern • its publication.
Desirable Sand Hills Property.
We would call the attention of those who
wish to purchase desirable property on the Sand
Hills, to the advertisements of Messrs. C. F..
Girardey & Co., by which it will (>e seen that
on Monday next,they will sell that desirable
improved lot known as the Gardner lot, on the
south west corner of Milledge street and Walton
way. Also the well known Sand Hill residence
adjourning the Turknett Spring. The latter is
one ol the tmist desirable summer residences on
the Hill.
The Toll Gate Injunction.
To judge by what w’e saw in our streets yes
terday, we would say a portion of the citizens of
Edgefield District were well pleased with the
Injunction recently granted by Judge Gilchrist,
j of the United States Circuit Court, in favor of
the city of Augusta vs. Jones and Kennedy.
Some seven or eight wagons, laden with lumber
and wood, to each of which were attached four
mules, decorated with red flags, at the headstalls,
and a small U S. Flag on the body of the wagon
passed through Centre street, up Broad and
through bye*streets to their destinations with
their respective loads. The mules seined to
move along much easier than on former occa
sions, when their owners had to pay double toll.
Several patriotic Citizens of Hamburg desirous
of testifying their approbation at the granting
! of the Injunction, made application for the loan
of two field pieces in the possession of one of our
Volunteer Companies, which was granted and
the guns were removed to Hamburg tor the pur

Princeton Commencement.
’ There aie few liteiary institutions in this coun
try more generally cr highly beloved by the in
telligence of the South than the College at
Princeton. Averse to ail political innovations,
5 she has held a ready sway over the Southern
1 mind by the high-toned principles governing her
conduct, the vaiiety and depth ot her instruc
t tions, and a glorious history shaped, from time
* to time, by men prominent on our national roll
' of intellect. We all know how strongly Geor
i gia shares this feeling: else why should she send
5 her sons so far, when in her very bosom are re
! posing institutions of such celebrity as Franklin
i and Oglethorpe? This being the case, you, as
an expounder of the Georgian mind, may not
dislike an account of our late interesting Com
mencement, embracing events which would
f make the eye of many a graduate of Princeton
s glisten with interest, and which Augusta may
• point to with pride, for therein one of her youth
’ fu! representatives was a participator.
Princeton is generally a very quiet, cool place;
its fine shade trees and elevated situation, dis
’ arming the rays of the summer sun of much ot
that virulence in some places characterizing their
’ strokes. But somehow or another, this year it
was very hot—indeed, in the immediate vicinity
during the two days covering our Commence
ment, three men died Irom exposure to the sun.
The heat excepted, everything passed off very
pleasantly. It is customary on the evening be
fore, for a graduate of one ot the two literary so
cieties, American Whig and Bliosophic, elected
for that purpose by each alternately, to deliver a
public Address in the Village Church where the
exercises are held. This year the Oration was
by Mr. Phillip R. Fendall, Attorney General of
D. C., a member of the Bliosophic Society. It
would exceed our limits to give even a schedule
of the honorable gentleman’s remarks. Sufficient
it is to say, that it embraced many splendid pas
sages, indicating at once great erudition, shrewd
ness of observation, and high intellectual and
moral character. The following remark is an
example. Referring to the fact, that James
Madison, the fourth President of the U. States
was a graduate of Princeton, he said, And
whence sprang the man who broke the fascina
ting eloquence of Henry, all the more destruc
tive for its very power, as sincerely, yet injuri
ously it strove to prevent the enactment of the
Federal Constitution ? Whence came that pol
ished writer who contributed, in defence of that
palladium of our liberties, articles so excellent in
style and matter for the columns ot the Federal
ist? Whence, too, this able advocacy of its en
forcements on the floor of Congress ? In this m
i 6‘itution that noble mind was trained for these
j noble efforts. The power of the Constitution was
i the child of the College of New Jersey.” His tri- j
bute to Rev. Samuel Davies, once a President of
| the College, was also singularly beautiful. We
; wish our pen could transcribe the vivid language
! in which he pourtrayed the greatness and good
ness of that eminent man—how, when Dissent
was an ur.j opalar doctrine in the Old Dominion, ,
his eloquence lured to his pulpit fashion and ,
learning, and his piety, consecrated by the touch
of Heaven, melted the popular soul, and by fix
ing it on an eternal object, imparted to it a last- i
| ing elevation ?—how Majesty of Great Bri- i
tain, trifling in the presence of the King of Kings, <
! received at his noble hand a stern rebuke. But |
! we hasten to other topics.
It seemed a general impression among tbe at
tendants on the Commencement Exercises, that
the Orations of the graduating class were unusu- -
ally good. It will not be invidious in this con- J
nection to mention the name of Robt. C. Clarke , j
of Augusta. The amiability of this young gen- 1
tleman’s disposition, coupled with the high prin- {
ciples regulating his conduct, had already secured t
him an enviable position in College society. The t
close of his collegiate career was, in all respects,
a fitting one. We have never heard him do bet
ter. His animated delivery infused interest into c
a speech adorned by many of the graces of com-
position. The subject was Patrick Henry. The 8
points dwelt upon, as nearly as we can recollect o
were these . His early life, an instance ol the >n- c
dolence consequent on the diversion of the field- •'
chase and other rtcreations , from their proper use, ||
into pursuits / the diminution, by this predemi- J
nancy of indolence, of the strengbt of the habits
of vigor and concentration of mental effort requi
site in the exercise of duty, and thence the fre
quency of failure; want, a stern but efficient
corrective; and next his after life,a brilliant ex
ample of a great orator, jurist, and man, merged
into one gloiious whole. Mr. Clarke’s style will
be best exemplified by a few sentences still lin
gering in our memory. Speaking of the bril
liancy of Henry as an orator in Revolutionary
times, he said, Greece had her Demosthenes,
Rome her Cicero, and America, incited by her
national pride, would point you to her Henry."
Mentioning the adaptation of Henry’s method of
pleading to the varying phase of the subject
matter, he said, “ Sometimes it was the little
mountain stream nimbly leaping along and spark
ling all over—sometimes it was the bvvland riv
ulet winding its sitvery way over rich pastures
betwixt margins of moss—again; it was a cata
ract dashing with wild energy from a lofty pie
cipice, and skanning the beetling rocks with
brilliant rain-bow tints—and again, it was a riv
er of the West, gliding in tranquil majesty, and
reflecting, from its polished surface, the over
hanging stars and frowning mountains.”
The remainder of Commencement Day was
occupied with the Inauguration of the Rev. Jno.
Maclean, D. D., as President of the College.—
Rev. Dr. Carnahan, the retiring President had
exercised, nobly and faithfully, the duties of that
elevated station for the long space of 31 years.—
Class after class had he led up, cautiously but se
curely, to the dizzy height of knowledge, and
standing there, had pointed out the path of right.
The President has heretofore taught mental and
moral Science, cuttng the plain of busy life
below, and the deviations from it, almost imper
ceptible at the outset, but widening witb the
distance until they stretched far away from the
single Wicket Gate of the Celestial City. Then,
with a steady hand, he had iovvered them info
that seif-same plain, there to shape their own
careers. And now, after a lapse of 31 years—
many of his pupilg nearing that Wicket Gate,
and a few within it—the good old man descends
into the Yale of Retirement, there to spend his
closing days.
Adieu, most worthy President, now released
From College toils. Thou. v. him indulgent Heaven
Hast lent so long, (if long in life can be)
Who well attentive, faithfully hast watched
Thy important charge, contented there
Still to remain devoted to thy task.
Thy work is done, mature for Heaven thou'lt go,
Aucieas thy elf, to the Ancient of all days.”
And as to his successor, what need we say of
praise. On the broad, rolling prairie, on the
green savanna, in the merchant houses of our
proud cities, on the banks of the Mississippi, the
Hudson, and the Ganges, the name of Dr. John
Maclean is knowr. and loved. In his new po
sition, we hope that he will shine brighter than
ever, and enjoy himself more than ever. His
behaviour on Commencement Day commanded
both our esteem and love. When we heard his
speech, we thought it first-rate. when he took
the oath “to discharge the duties of President
faithfully and impartially,” and broke into tears,
exclaiming, “I never, sir, made a sincerer oath
in my life,” we could’nt help loving him for
his tenderness of heart. Under his guidance, we
hope that old Nassau will prosper more and more.
The members of the Faculty, and the studies as
signed to each of the instructors, have also been
J greatly altered*"b i s*tire’* l ß'etion of the Board -of
'• Trustees at the late Commencement. If, as is
rJ most probable, all these changes are secured by
r the acceptance by the Professors elect, of their
* appointment, no collegiate institution in this
e country will possess a finer Faculty than Nassau
‘ Hall. Should such be the case, they will stand
* thus:

Extract of a Letter dated,
Sparta, July 4th, 1854. i
I arrived here on Sunday morning last. In !
passing through VVarrenton I was much pleased j
■ to find that the business portion of the town is !
nearly built up by substantial brick edefices. Tba |
t weather here has been much warmer than it was !
* in Augusta, last week, the thermometer stood at i
! different days 93 deg. to 102, since which how- I
i ever,we have had copious showers throughout this j
: section of country, as well as elsewhere, accom.
! panied with thunder and lightening which has
’ cooled the atmosphere somewhat. I have heard j
of a good many cases where the electric shock ;
had struck down groups of men and boys in this |
neighbourhood, no serious consequences resulting
however. The timely rains have rendered it
almost certain that the geneial crops will be a
lull yield, corn and oats at least. Cotton that I
appeared rather spindling from the effects of the
past cold weather, seems now to grow off vigor
ously, and should the worm not make its appear
ance, the yield will be good.
1 o show the state of vegetation, I measured a
beet grown a short distance from this Court
House : it measured 24 inches in circumfer
ence and weighed 5 lbs. To day beir g the an
niversary of the American Independence, was
celebrated by an Oration and reading of the De- ,
claration of Independence. Mr. J. Turner rea
ding the Decl ration and J. J. Lawrence Esqr., i
delivered the Oration. It took place at the Bap- I j
tist Church, the choir singing eppiopriate an- ; 1
thems. The Rev. Mr. Kee offered up prayers at 1
the commencement and closing of the services, i c
His prayers were peculiarly suited to the day s
and delivered with considerable Jerver. The !
orator acquitted himseit handsomely, by an elo
quent and chaste discourse. The subject matter
differing from those I have heard on iormer oc
casions. His theme was Georgia and nothing
but Georgia, commencing from the days of Ogle
thorpe to the present time. I must not omit to
say that although we heard no music or roar of
cannon, still the Star Spangled Banner floated
proudly in the breeze from the top of the Ed
wards House.
Wm. Connelly, who brutally murdered bis
young wife on Saturday morning last, was ar
rested on Sunday morning and committed to jail
On Monday an examination of the case took
place before the magistrates, which resulted in
his being remanded to prison to await atrial be
™F e next Superior Court of this county,
ibe evidence is altogether circumstantial, but
too clear to admit ol a doubt as to the guilt of
the prisoner.— Georgia Citizen , Ist inst.
HAT Meteor.—The papers in various parts
or the State make mention of a meteor which
fell on Thursday night last. A similar one was
seen by many in this vicinity. Was it all the
same mateor? It must then have been a monster
one indeed. The light given out here was ex
ceedingly brilliant. These extiaorduiary signs
in the skies must prognosticate something. Hav
ing no weird at hand to consult with as to what
it may be, we remain in unsatisfied suspense.
Edgefield J. deer titer, %th intt
(Correspondenceof the Charleston Courier )
Havana, June 27, i 854.
It is an extraordinary (act,but not more extraor
dinary than true, that during the warm or rather
hot months in Cuba, there is a total stagnation,
or cessation of what mav be termed interesting
intelligence, consequently if the present and a
few succeeding letters should prove dull and un
interesting, let not the fault be attributed to your
coriespondenf, but to the circumstance oi his de
sire only to communicate the truth.
One of the newly enlisted negro soldiers re
cently hung himselt in the Calaboose, wtrere he
was confined, under a charge ot attempting to
desert.
Subscriptions have been taken up in this city
and in other parts of the island, to assist the
needy of the political refugees who may desire
to return to Cuba. An ‘‘order” appears in the
Gaceta. which ordains, that the recent amnesty
of the Queen shall only refer to the jiolitjcdl of
fences committed up to the 7;h May last.
A Royal decree is published in ihe Gaceta of
the 23d ult., by which it appeals that the Royal
approbation has been obtained through the me
morial ot the Captain General to her Majesty,
respecting the bad appearance of the Western
part of the city, outside the wails horn the large
vacant spaces ot land, which have not been bum.
upon on account of the military tort law, which
ordained that buildings should not be erected
that would obstruct the fire from the cannons of
the forts. The pieseiit Royal decree authouzes
all kinds of buildings (except those o< Wood) to
be e ected within 250 yards distant irom the sides
of the fort, and within 400 yards Irom the trout
of the toit, and within 120 yards distant irom the
city wall. All this ground may be built upon if
a petititiou be presented to the Municipality, and
a license obtained from the Captain General lor
so doing. As much oi this vacant land is private
. property, the probability is, that we shall soon
see elegant buildings erected on it.
The 24th ult. was the festival ot St. John the
Baptist, who it appears is ihe patron Saint to the
Marquis deta Pezuela. A tu>some address to his
Excellency, oi winch the hollowing is a transla
tion, appeared in the G oi rhac day:
“7b his ExaUency the Mai q iis de la P suela, Gov
ernor und Captain General, on fits day
“It is our pre-eminent duty to salme, on this
day, our illustrious General, who is charged to
represent the sovereign authority m this part of
the Spanish Dominions.
“Highly as we are convinced o! the g.eat bene
fit for which this island is indebted to the gov
ernment .4 this great chief, who, within the
short period ot his command, has effected so
many great and useful reforms, we are surprised
at this wisdom and the heastb_y?ntiuerice he ex
ercises, by which Cuba wilt obtain lutuie opu
lence and prosperity.
“His tatherly leelings for the public welfare
are well known. We unite with the lervent,
who dirtet their wishes to Heaven, ihe loyal ‘n
habitants ot this w'ealthy portion of ihe Monar
chy, Jor the felicity <>f his Excellency and of his
appreciated family, so that the Lor i will concede
to them multiplied days of happiness and pros
perity.”
Is not the foregoing one of the richest morceaux
ever perused. What “reforms has he achieved?
I have been here during the whose period of the
administration ot hi- Exce 1.-nry ,ar,d have watch
ed passing events closely, and I am not awaie of
a single reiorm effected; but let us give even the
‘ Oui Gentleman” his due. Here is a’‘Reform”
in the Gaceta of the 25 instant, which says:
‘‘His Excellency the Captain General ues been
so kind as to concede to the n-ighbois resident
in the street“Canteraa” or, “Loss Vniei a” (the
glasses) which is the one that 'eads from the
new tate called "Co on,” to the new market of
the same name, and henceforwaid that street
will be called (Colon) Co! umbus-street.”
This locality ngd attained almost ea great a
notoriety as the far famed “Five Points,” and if
his Excellency can as readily change the charac
ter of the mass of people who reside there, as he
has the name es the Oaile, he will indeed be en
! titled to the warmest praises that tfau Spanish
[language wid express.
