Our Relations with Cuba.
The treatment received at the bauds ol the
Cuban authorities by the U. S. Mail Steamer
Crescent City, and the correspondence growing j
out of it. have been lai.l before our readers. The
comments which we copy below, from the
Washington Union and the New A ork Herald,
are naturally and properly suggested by the
IrucWmgof the Administration to Spanish inso
lence, and its duplicity towards our own citizens,
whose rights and interests were immediately
nvolved. It is a humiliating chapter in the
history of our relations with that tyrannical
power in Cuba, whose grinding oppressions are
a disgrace to civilization :
[Fi ,> n the Washington Union.)
The Crescent City Affair.
We deem it our duty to call public attention to
the strange and mortifying developments in rela
tion to this subject set forth in the subjoined cor
resiiondence which we copy from the New York
Herald of Wednesday.
It will lie rememlierd that some two weeks
since we stated our conviction, based upon infor
mation of a reliable character, that the adminis
tration at that time had come to the determination
“to bark out" before the insolent aud unwarran
ted demand of the captain-general ot Cuba, that
the removal, avowedly on mere suspicion, ot the
purser or commander oftbe Crescent City—or ol
both of then—should be the only condition on
which the Crescent City should lie permitted to
use the ordinary port privileges of Havana for
the prosecution of her lawful commercial busi
ness, and for the discharge other official duties to
this government. Information of this truckling
purpose of the administration was promptly tele
graphed to New Orleans by members of the
Demacratic Central Committee here, under the
conviction that the people ot that city, so largely
interested in the matter, had a right to know the
fact.
Just so soon as this telegraphic despatch was
made known in New Orleans, it was telegraphed,
as we suppose, back again to Washington; lor;
the Jv iiwV. copied it entire, signatures and all. I
and ; renounced it to be utterly unfounded, and
stated that the administration would take good
care that all American rights and interests in the ,
premises should be fully and promptly protected
This official statement of the Republic was put
forth in time to reach New Orleans by telegraph
the election, and was designed to operate
soon as we saw the Republic's |
statement, wo thought it a fraud, and denounced
it as an uHc.r.:.n;led attempt by an official press
to mislead the country as to the policy actually
resolved upon by the administration.
Further events completely confirmed our view ;
both of the truckling policy of the administra
tion and of the monstrous electioneering tactics
of its organ ; for not only was the commander of ■
the Crescent City transferred to another ship,
but the first correspondence between Mr. Law
and Mr Acting Secretary Conrifi was publish
ed, showing that that officer, in reply to Nir.
Law's respectful inquiry, whether the Crescent
City would be protected in the due prosecution
other lawful ai d official business, took the inex
plicable ground that the administration had
nothing to say, and would say nothing about the
whole matter, save to intimate that, in the judg
ment of the department, if Parser Smith remain
ed on beat J ot the ship, she would not be per- ;
mitted th lai d either passengers or mails I On
the very morning when this correspondence ap
peared in the Union, the Republic published an
article, apparently official, stating that the ad
ministration would in no wise “bark out, but
would do all that was proper to sustain the na
tional rights and interests in the case, and fur- ;
tuer (t*tUig that Judge Conkling had been in
structed to stop at Havana on his way to Mexi
co, and make due investigation of the whole
matter. I; so iiapjiened that while this state
ment was being written for publication in the
Republic, we were fully answering it and expo
sing it as a mere make-shift to gain time: tor on
the same morning, in our brief introductory com
ment* on the correspondence, we set lorth the
fact that the department had already information
of the facts in the care in an official shape from
its own agents—being, first, the official letter of
.Mr. Roberts on the part of the company, and,
secotidlv. the official protest of Captain Porter.
Jn addition to this, the administration had the
official letter of the Cuban Prefect of Police,
written in the name of the captain-general, to
the effect that Purser Smith was suspected of
being a suspicious character, and that the Cres
cent City. having him on board, should not have
the privileges of tie port. M e added that Judge
Conkling could not be received by* the captain- .
general in any official character: and that there
fore. in sending him to Cuba to make inquiries,
the Department of State had committed the
manifest indecorum ot sending a mere private
c.tw ;. to learn a state of facts of which it alrea- j
dy bad official information, both from its own
official agents and from the Cuban authorities.
On its face, therefore, the mission of Jodge Conk- I
lin to Cuba was a mere pretext, and a very awk
ward aud unwarrantable pretext, to gam time ,
and stave >•;; the responsibility oi a decision till at- I
ter the efoe*. And meantime ?4r. Acting Sec
rete. -* Cor.ra ; I ad. in terms scarcely courteous,
oa behalf of the administration, deettned ail res
ponsibility in the premises, and left the Crescent
City and ti.e company owning her entirely at
ike mercy o; the Cuban authorities ; intimating
that they wi uld doubtless deprive her ot the port
■nananteta?^*war on board; and ha had
marie this res*, tense to a company oi American cit
izens whose private rights and interests, largely
involved and wantonly ar.d tyrannously invad-
ed. were yet identified with their responsibilities
iu the discharge of important public duties, and
who therefore presented in their case every
claim that American citizens ever can present
to official counsel, countenance, and protection I
Such was the posture of this bad business
when the correspondence we copy* below saw
'the light. It reveals the astounding fart, that while I
the Republic '"as saymg that the administration
would by no means “ bark out." but would maintain
with all z- al an I fidelity all -imeriran rights and
tnteretts.ir'! then hlr. Conrad was writing to the
Spanish uiinistrr t’lat, in obedience to the captain
general's dictation. the obnoxious off ers of the Cres
rent City woidd be removed .’ This caps the c>i
max of the whole case. Having determined up
on this course, why had not the administration
the t:. ow it. and take the responsi- ;
bility of it.< Why did they presume still to talk
through their organ about not ’* backing out,
and to contradict despatches averring that they
had backed out ? Above all, why was informa
tion of this policy withheld from Mr. Law when ,
he respectfully, and in due course of his business,
asked what was doing by the government in re- i
o-ard to his ship, and what protection and sup
port he coffid re.y upon at the hands of his gov
ernment. whose agent he was ? The answer is
obvious— the administration had not the cour
..ge to Jo any thing but truckle and back out be
;ore the demands of Canedo, and bad not the
courage to confess that it was truckling. For
the honor of the American government, we will
-ay that, so ur as our knowledge extends, such
a course in the conduct of our foreign relations
is without any previous precedent.
We make these remarks in no partisan spirirt
or purpose, for there is now r.o temptation so to
do. On the contrary, we arraign the adminis
tration for its gross malfeasance in this business,
because its course baa, in our judgement, serious
ly jeoparded American interests, if it has not
tarnished the American name abroad. We are
far from as-umingthat such a course will be per
suted in. On the contrap*, we cannot but an
ticipate that the accomplished and experienced
diplomatist now at the head of the State Depart
ment will do what may,under the circumstances,
be done to place the administration in a more
respectable attitude both before our own coun
try and before foreign powers.
With these observations, we place the sub
j oined correspondence before our readers—simply
remarking that we are entirely unable to under
stand the policy in which the Hon. Mr. Conrad
has made up such a record, or the motives which
can have swayed him to the adoption of such a
course.

• The News from Cuba—Disgraceful Conduct of
oar Government.
W. . te-
J 3 f lea n», detailing
>*gfey^rrr-rffit a »<-.-H under which the Crescent City
on her hut visit to Havana, was permitted to:
land her mails and and informing us
ufthp expressed deU.rmination of the Captain-
General of Cuba to exclude her, on her return
trip from all communication with the shore in
ease the obnoxious *• individual” Mr. Purser
Smith, is permitted to remain on board. lbe. e
fa'-ts have already appeared in brief in Sunday's
Herald ; but the particulars given this morning
will be perused with avidity.
In connection with this subject, we also pub
lish the last correspondence which has passed .
between Mr. George Law, President of the
United States Mail Steamship Company, and I
Mr. Conrad, the late Acting Secretary of State i
to this government, as also the despatch from the
Xew Orleans agent of the company to Mr. j
Roberts, in this city. Besides these important j
documents, we publish two letters from Havana *
one from a private correspondent, and another I
from a Spanish gentleman, presenting the view I
of things entertained by the Cuban government. ;
We likewise furnish to our readers translations i
of three or four articles from the Diario de la
Marina, the official organ at Havana, giving
their construction of the principles of internation
al comity arid of the terms of the treaty be
tween Spain and the United States.
From the information thus received, it appears
that Mr. Conrad, on behalf of the American gov
ernment, has been guilty of double dealing and
contemptible monoruvering, utterly disreputable j
in itself, and disgraceful to any administration.
While writing to the steamship cornany here,
asserting that he did not know anything at all
about the affair in dispute between them and the
authorities at Havana, the government was pro
curing the publication of articles in the Republic
newspaper,assuringjthe country that they had ta
ken high ground in the matter, and would watch
fully project the rights of American citizens, and
the honor of the national flag ; and yet at the
same time Mr. Conrad was pledging himself to
the Spanish minister at Washington, that neither
f ieutenant Porter nor Purser Smith should be
nermitted to return to Havana in the Crescent
r’itv fn accordance with this pledge Lieuten
ant Porter was transferred to the Georgia, while
t it removal was falsely attributed to a compli
with his own request. And then the same
Po‘icy wi.iih has characterised the
emm'• -7 Lr government all through this affair
was «t I work to procure the dismissal of Pur
n ’l'ho a»ent of the company, Mr.
Roberts, was specify sent for to go to Washing
ton to get him to accord to the wishes of Mr.
Conradfand verily the assurance given by him
ths Spanish minister. But the company dis
dained to submit to such a humiliating requisi
tion, and absolutely refused to discharge lioui
their employment an officer who had always
faithfuly pei formed his duty to them and to the
country. They, therefore, continued Mr. Smith
in his post as Purser of the Crescent City, and
the ridiculous efforts of the Acting Secretary ot
State against him were futile.
It is unnecessary here to refer to the tiist coi
respondence which passed between Mr. G. Law
and Mr. Acting Secretary Conrad, in regard to
the expulsion of the Crescent City Irom Havana.
The tardy reply of Mr. Conrad is already too
well known to the public. Rut Mr. Law, des
pising such dodging and quibbling as that resort
ed to by Mr. Conrad, wrote to him the letter
which we publish this morning, requiring to
know specifically “what interpretation our own
government gave to the rights ot American citi
zens and of this company,” how characteristic is
the reply he received I “I must be excused,
says the model statesman, “from giving you any
information or advice on the subject \\ hat a
subterfuge for a statesman entrusted with the
direction of the affairs of the country to shrink
• into I It is no wonder, alter such an exhibition,
that the Spanish should delight m insulting the
tlag of a country whose administration is lodged
! in such hands. .
; According to the official despatch received
! from the agent of the Company in New Or-
I leans an apology lias been offered to the Cuban
j government, ins'ead of exacting full reparation
.: from them for the injuries perpetrated on Ameri
can citizens, and the continued insults offered to
our ll ni. This, we suppose, is the “high ground
which the Republic assured tiie country would
be taken by the administration. It it is, all we
can say is that it is disgraceful to the govern
ment. humiliating to the people, and only calcu
lated to give more overbearing presumption to
I any who may glory in outraging the feelings ot
l our citizens in the waters of Havana or else
i where. We would remind the administration
: that they have not now to deal with a band ol
i fillibustrros, whom it was only necessary tor them
i to brand as outlaws, robbers, and pirates, but
with a great commercial company, representing
the interests of the hundreds of thousands ol
passengers.and the hundred millions worth of
■ property, that are annually transported in their
ships; and the country will hold them respon
sible that the rights of American citizens are
not outraged, nor their flag insulted with impu
nity.
What will the government at Madrid do when
it hear* oi ail l.iis j ill the cabinet, alter the
assembling of tWi*Cc»ref, take measures to re
pudiate the late transactions at Havana, recall
the Captain General, introduce amelioration in
the political condition ofthe island, make liberal
changes iu the conduct of affairs there, and thus
save the Queen of the Antilles I e shall see.
{From the Baltimore Sun.)
The London Times on the United States and Cuba.
The Louden Times of the 2Sth ultimo has a
very long and angry editorial respecting the
Crescent City and Cornelia affaire. The Times
lavs down the law as if it were the umpire be
tween the nations of the world, and finally, with
exceeding absurdity, invokes the aid of Louis
Napoleon against the United States in case of a
war with Spain, besides undertaking to fore
shadow the portentous attitude of the British
Ministry on the question, with a hint that it
would not look on passively. But the Times,
as the New York Commercial suggests, is either
ignorant, or pretends to be ignorant, of the fact,
that most of the influential American journals,
and the government ot the United States, have
faithfully up heldthe laws and rights of nations
in those instances, and that no disposition has
been manifested at Washington, or by any con
siderable portion of the American people, to
violate good faith or carry aggression into Cuba.
The Times gives the United States the following
gratuitous counsel, which only betrays the ig
norance of that journal with respect to the gov
ernment and people of this Republic. Says the
Times :
Powerful as the American people unquestiona
bly are in the defence of all that belongs to
themselves, no nation has in these days the
strength or the means to run riot in the world,
and gratify its own lusts aud caprices at the
expense of others. This rash and dangerous
course will, it adopted, bring them into collision
with other States besides Spain, and they would
enter into such a contest degraded in the eyes of
the world by the popular violence and injustice
which have dictated these aggressions.
The conquest of Cuba will not easily be ef
fected by a mere band of treebooters, if, indeed,
another’Lopez expedition were allowed to quit
the shores of the United States. But we fear
that the American Government will be gradual
ly led on to do, as it did in the case ol Texas,
what every man of honesty condemns. Let them
not suppose, however, that such measures are to
be taken with impunity, because Spain is no
longer the power she once was. Spain has still
the means of destroying the trade ol America
with the Mediterranean, and of indicting tre
mendous loses upon it by means of letters ot ;
marque all over the world. Except Cuba and
Porto Rice, she has now no western colonies, and
no important trade lor Ajperica to assail.
Moreover, upon a question of this magnitude
and importance to all the maritime States, Spain
does not stand alone. We do not pretend to be
acquainted with the v iews ot our own govern
ment upon this subject, though it is evident
that the acquisition of the Havana by the naval
power ofthe United States would be a change
which no .British .Minister wo 1 Id view with in
differenc*. Ent 'the course which France may
pursue is still more obvious.
1 ouis Napoleon has every inducement to de
fend the interests of Spain, and to strengthen
the relations between his own Government and
that of Madrid. Nothing would better suit him
than an opportunity of displaying and augment
ing the naval power of France, by espousing the
cause of Spain against such an antagonist; lor
such an expedition would flatter the country and
occupy the public mind, with no serious risk to
any French interest.
However this may be, the firm and collective
resolution of the maritime powers ot Europe to
oppose the aggressive policy of the United States,
when it extends even beyond the North Ameri
can continent to Cuba and to the Sandwish Is
lands is the safeguard of peace, wmeh might
otherwise be sacrificed to the outcry oi an *‘ in
dignation meeting:” and the rashness oi the
American democracy could hardly commit a
greater act of folly than to provoke such a con
test. without being assured of the countenance,
or even ofthe neutrality, of any of the powers.
These mutterings and threatenings ol the
Times will naturally attract some attention in
this country, the Times being so universally
looked upon as a kind of authoritative exponent
! of British public opinion, if not British Govern
ment policy. Ihe New York Express pointed
fly remarks thereupon:
We don't know what the British Govern
ment might or might not do, in the premises ;
but there is one thing the Times ought to know ;
nothing is calculated so much to encourage the
Lone Star in this country as this menace oi op
position from Louis Napoleon. There are some
people here who wouldn’t mind getting into a
difficulty with Spain, only for the sake ot seeing
how the '•'■ Nephew of his Uncle” was going to
interfere.
The Times should understand that the people
of this country are not frightened w ith the Na
poleon bug-a-bco, as the; English people often
are—and to try to frighten them with a war
from that quarter, will have the effect only to
excite a desire on the part of Fillibusterism here,
to invite rather than to avoid it. We don’t say
that a spirit of this kind is a very commendable
one—we say it exists.
The Times, however, is proverbially shrewd
and far seeing ; and who knows, after all, that it
is not trying to get Johnny Crapeau and Brother
Jonathan, (old friends once, but latterly* a little
estranged.) by the ears, so that John Bull may
look on, enjoy the sport, and gather the profits ?
Treaty Stipulations.
After all the virtuous indignation, which has
been spent bn this country, on ‘‘the atrocity” of
our citizens “violating Treaty Stipulations with
Spain,” by aiding the cause of Cuban independ
ence ; after the ferocious denunciations which
have been showered on “this nation of pi rites
and outlaws,” by the corrupt scoundrels whom
Spain sends over yearly to Cuba, to prey and
fatten upon that rich, but oppressed island—after
Presidential proclamations and prosecutions
against those who would dare to forget the sol
emn duties of observing Treaty Stipulations—
after Mr. Benjamin and Co). Hunton s eloquent
ethics in the Unitid States District Court, pend
ing the trial of Narciso Lopez and Jno. Hender
son—after that display of Spartan patriotism, in
several jurors, [whose sense of duty and good
faith struggled so manfully with their natural
disinclination to send gentlemen to the peniten
tiary for following the example of Lafayette and
Kosciusko—after all these instructive examples
of virtue, patriotism and sober wisdom, it is
quite laughable indeed to find the Government
of Cuba, through its official organ, declaring
(ez-ra/Wra) that Cuba is not included in the
Treaty Stipulations between the United States
and Spain ; but stands aloof in the sublime but
incomprehensible (the well worked incompre
hensible is always sublime) language of orator
Phillips, “wrapped in the solitude of its own
originality;” or, to use a more homely, but more
expressive phrase—“standing on its own bot
tom.”
Such is clearly and distinctly the position as
sumed by the Diario de la Marina, the official
organ of the Government of Cuba. What the
Diario may say is very different from what any
of our papers may say. Thus, for instance, the
Delta’s editorials are written by the editor, with
out any one’s supervision—from our own mind,
and without attaching any responsibility to any
one but ourselves, —but it the Delta were pub- |
fished in Havana, (where there will, no doubt, |
be a branch of it in less than twelvemonths.) j
we should have to send our editorials to Don |
Jose Antonio Galeano, Secretary to the Captain :
General, —who would be apt to cut, and hew, I
and emasculate them to such a degree, that we
should never know our own offspring when :
they came back. But, then, there would be ’
some consolation, in the fact that we should be
held to no responsibility therefor, b it should be
entitled to intervene between ourselves and any
harm, the formidable persons of the Captain
General and his Privy Councillors. As further
relief for this sacrifice of our libeityof language
and ideas, we should be kindly furnished by the
said Captain General and his Secretary with
very smart and learned leaders, —that would
save us much time, and wear and tear ol mind
and conscience.
And thus, whatever of a political character
appears in the Havana papers, must be con
sidered as emanating directly from the Govern
ment.
Here, then, we have the authority of Canedo,
who does the tippling, and Galeano who does
the lying for the government of Cuba, in favor
of the proposition, that “the Treaty of Amity
and Peace” bstwaon Spain and ths United Status
does not include Cub;'. Whether that second
Puff-en dorlf, Charley Conrad, will concur in
this view of the matter, depends in a great meas
ure, we presume, upon the condition of the shiit
collar of that lofty-bearing personage.
The process of logic by which Galeano arrives
at this conclusion, is this: By solemn actin
1537, it was declared by the Cortez of Spain,
that Cuba was a mere colony or depei’dancy of
Spain, not an integral part of the kingdom, her
Deputies elect were refused permission to set in
the Cortez, and no general laws could apply to
her unless she was specially included. The
name of Cuba not being included in the treaties
with this country, therefore she is not bound by
the stipulations of that instrument. Such is
the argument by which all the pretexts that the
Crescent City was entitled to be treated, like
the vessel of a civilized nation, are met.
These Spanish robbers and plunderers (we
beg Mr. Fillmore's pardon for appropriating his
words) have very convenient memories and
consciences. When our people desire to help
their suffering brethren in Cuba to drive out
their oppressors, then these Spanish officials
alarm the whole world with their outcries
against such instances of bad laith, ot violations
of treaty, and all that. When Mey violate the
treaty themselves—violate it palpably and out
rageously—ami it is demanded by the people
(though not by the Government, to its eternal
infamy 1) that satisfaction should be given there
for, oh! then they discover that the treaty does
not apply to Cuba I Cuba is an exceptional
(some printer, having a greater regard for truth
than correct typography, wou'd have it, in the
Picayune, “exceptionable”) State, not bound by
the treaty engagements ol the mother country.
Very well,—-let us accept the pretext, and hold
them to it. It will be a valuable confession,
provider! Charley Comad does not destroy it by
one of those profound expositions, which we
await wirh calm resignation and patience, as
destined to throw into the shade the emanations
of that magnificent intellect that lately flashed
out on the sea-shore ofNew England 1
Let it be remembered that the Government
of Cuba stands alone, unprotected by any treaty*,
only defended by the strength ot its garrison, its
army and navy*. Let it be remembered that no
human or divine law now stands between our
people and that noblest obligation ot humanity,
to aid those who are oppressed and cruelly used;
that there is no treaty or law which binds our
Government to interfere to prevent our citizens
from discharging this duty, and tun. r ilterating
Irom our continent the last remnant of a hoary
and rotten dynasty.
lYcte Orleans Villa, 'Dth last.
{From the N. O. Picayune, 12th insl)
Important from the Rio Grande—Defeat of Con.
Avalos.
The steamship Yacht, Capt. Auld, arrived at
this port on Wednesday night from Brazos San
tiago. We received by her a copy of the Browns
ville Flag ofthe 30th tilt., which contains not a
line of news ot any* kind. From a couple ot
interesting letters in the Nueces Valley, how
ever, we gather the following facts relative to
the present state] of affairs in that section of
Mexico.
It appears that Cardenas, as soon as he found
himself firmly seated in the gubernatoral chair
of Tamaulipas, issued an order establishing com
panies of gendarmes for what is called the De
partment of the North of Tamaulipas. The
apparent object of this was for the protection of
the roads and the arrest and punishment of rob
bers, &c., but its real intent was to bully, gag,
and. if necessary, murder the opponents of Car
denas. The Ayuntamiento of Matamoros had
protested against the usurpation of the latter,
and on the lith ult., the notorious Canales, Lieu
tenant Governor of the State, arrived in that
city, and on the Sth presented himself to the
Ayuntaminto, which was then in session. He
represented himself as Commissioner ad hoc,
invested with unlimited power and above all
responsibility. The Ayuntamiento refused to
recognize him, however, alleging that as he was
an officer of the State he could not also be a
Commissioner, according to the constitution of
the State. Canales wished to remonstrate, but
he was hissed and hooted out of the room. We
now let the correspondent ofthe Valley speak : :
For the moment the deepest excitement pre
vailed, and a smile of triumph played on the i
features of all present. But, alas 1 their imagi- [
nary success was short-lived, and in less than
half an hour Canales brother chip, Avalos, had |
furnished him with a hundred soldiers, with .
which he presented himself at the doors of the ■
town hall, and politely informed the unruly i
members of the Ayuntamiento that they* were all I
deposed and under arrest, to be sent to Victoria I
for trial, and to answer the charges that would !
there be presented against them. The Ayunta- ;
miento ot last year substituted them, with .Mace- j
donia Capistran at their head, every one being, '
as you may well suppose, the most willing tool '
and unscrupulous instrument of both Cardenas ■
and Canales. This was the signal for all who I
considered themselves in danger to look out for j
their personal safety, and about dusk ot that I
day they commenced crossing to this side ot the
river at five or six different points, the member
of the Legislature for Matamoros being one of
the first who came over. The arrested ex- 1
members of the Ayuntamiento have not as yet ;
been sent on to the'seat of Government for trial.
although Canales, om_Monday last, called on
Avalos to let him have an escort of 200 men, for ,
the purpose of sending the prisoners to Victoria, i
Avalos answered that he had but iilty that he '
coubl spare and a« yet C*>uMe? h>« riot accepted -'
their services, as he imagines that the force is I
too small to guard the live prisoners on the road.
The national guard of Matamoros had crossed 1
the river to the American side almost en masse,
well armed and equipped, and in constant
receipt ot accessions of force, money, munitions,
&c. Various rumors were afloat as to their
intentions, but nothing definite was known
when the correspondent of the Nueces Valley
wrote.
We were shown yesterday a letter received I
by a gentleman in this city from his brother in I
Matamoros, written just before the Yacht sailed,
which states that the national guard had crossed ■
the Rio Grande a day or two before, about six I
hundred strong, and taken the road to Victoria, I
it is supposed, With the intention of pushing I
Cardenas from his usurped seat. Gens. Avalos
and Canales left Matamoros in pursuit with
1,500 men and eight pieces of artillery. The
guard hearing of their approach, turned and met
them. A bloody conflict ensued, in which Ava
los and Canales were entirely defeated, the
national guard remaining masters of the field,
artillery, &c.
Such is the news detailed to our informant by
his brother. The letter is evidently wnten in
haste, at the last moment, and it is more than
probable that many errors have crept into the
account, but of the main fact—the defeat sos
Avalos and Canales by the national guard—the
writer speaks with a degree of certainty that
hardly admits of mistake. Ihe next arrival,
however, will bring us the true state of the
affair.
Fike! Fire!—The two story brick building
on Broad Street, nearly opposite the “ Times'’
Office, was totally consumed yesterday morning.
The fire was discovered about a half an hour be
fore day-break, in the back room of the second
story, and before the alarm was given the, house
was gone beyond redemption.
The burnt tenement was owned by Messrs.
Mott and Ciaghorn, and was partially covered
by insurance. It was occupied by Mr. C. S. Pry
or as the “ Exchange” Bar and Billiard room.
Mr. Pryor, we understand, was not insured.—

A week before the Election. —A corres
pondent of an eastern paper thus describes a
visit to the president elect one week before the
election :
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Gen.
Pierce, somewhat accidentally and unexpeced
ly, at Manchester, New Hampshire. Manches
| ter is seventeen miles from Concord; and it being
“Court day” at Manchester Mr. Pierce was there
attending to professional business as usual. As
the cars were to stop an hour at Manchester,
(being accompanied by a friend), and as the
court had adjourned wecalled at Shepard’s Hotel,
to pay our respects to the General. We found
him.immersed in the business of his clients, as
though no election was pending. It was only
one week that was to elapse before the Ameri
can people were to decide whether he was to be
President of the United States, from the 4th of
next March, and whether his name was to go
down to posterity' forever as the head of this
great republic. One would have supposed that
his mind would have been so much elated as to
exclude every idea of common place business;
but no such thing. He was as calm as a sum
mer evening. He was deeply engaged in law
I business; with suitors at the court, and we had
j to wait till he had completed some important
■ professional business before we could see him.

Death or Great Mbs.—The N. Y. Times
gives a list of the great men who have gone
down to the grave during the presnt year, and
remarks that “in no year within the longest
memory has death possessed himself of a harvest
so rich.” The Evening Post takes exception
j to this, which it calls an exaggeration, and then
goes on to say
| “ The year that Adams and Jefferson died car-
ried off several other distinguished men ; but if
the remark applied to the world at large, it is
untrue, for the year 1832 closed on the death ol
such men as Sir Walter Scott, Cuvier, Chamjiol
lion, Goethe, and Sir James Mclntosh, to say
nothing of Spmz.heim, Red Jacket, or the Duke
of Rsiclutadt.”

Andrew J. Miller, Ex'r. &>c., vs Elizabeth Hurt— (
From Baldwin Superior Court.
This cause arose upon the construction
fourth item of the Will of Charles Hurt, to wit—
“l give and devise to my trusty friend, Andrew |
J. Miller, as trustee for the property herein de- ;
vised and bequeathed for the use of my Nephew,
Spencer Hurt, during his natural life, and to his
children that he may have by his ‘present wife,
or any other future wife that he may have, all ‘
that tract or parcel of land lying in and being
in the county of Baldwin, of said
Napier and others, containing
seventy-two and one half acres, more ’Or less,
with all the rights, members and appurtenances
to said tract of land in any wise appertaining or
belonging—all of the aforesaid tract of land, I
desire and direct be for the use of said Spencer
during his natural life in such away that lie, the
said Spencer, cannot dispose of it in any shape,
manner or form, and after his, the said Spencer’s
death to go to his children if any he may have :
and if the, the said Spencer should depart this
hie without children, then the land to be sold
and divided as my other lands.”
Upon the question, whether Spencer Hurt,
having never had any children took an estate
tail either express or by implication’—Held by
the court that he did not.
Hardeman and Hill for the Plaintiff in error.
Junius Wingfield tor Defendant in error.
Randolph Is. Bond and others— 11 il/cce tot .
court.
This case arose upon the construction of a will,
whether the division should be per tirpes or per
capita. The decision of the court below, in favor
ol a per capita division was reversed.
Toombs firjPlaintiffin error. Irwin and Bar
nett for Defendant in error.
IF/n R. Reid and another Plaintiff in. error, vs.
Benning B. Moore Defendant in error—from
Lincoln.
Held thatan attorney may appear and defend
I in a case of attachment, without putting it in
special bail.
An Eccicn rum Character. —The Boston
Chronicle gives the following, in addition to the
particulars already published, relative to John
Crofts Coflield, who died in that city on the
28th ult. supposed to be worth $200,0(10 :
For the last thirty years this eccentric man has
not laid ill bed,except when travelling, he being
too miserly to indulge in such “extravagance,” as
he termed it. He has made his lodgings on
trunks and boards, and finally died, lying upon a
large trunk. Three days preceding bis death,
lie purchased a burial lot in Mount Auburn. He
lived, if living it could be called, in a small shop
off from the st reet. He lived a bachelor, not be
ing willing to marry on account of the expenses
incident upon a married life, and dragged out his
existence as solitary as an oyster. His meals
cost him on an average six and a quarter cents,
and in paying he generally tendered a crossed
four-pence. He had not probably taken off his
clothes for a year. Avarice shone from his cold,
glassy eye ; lie loved no one, and no one proba
bly loved him. The late Dr. Parkman was his
friend, and was st;halted as his executor.

COTTON.—Our market opened on Wednesday
last with a good demand, and all offering met with
ready sale, at gradually improving prices,—up to
Monday morning, when Middling Fair brought
readily cents. On Monday morning the At

the Liverpool market of |d.,which had a depressing
effect on our market, and but few transactions took
place after the intelligence brought by her became
known. Yesterday (Tuesday) there was some en
quiry, but the transactions were limited, in conse
quence of the difference between buyers and sel
lers, —the latter being willing to concede | from
rates current previous to the receipt of the Atlan.
tic's advices, while buyers demand a reduction of
and in some instances J cent. Cotton continues
to come to market freely, and is generally sold on
arrival. Our market closed last evening in an un
settled condition, so much so that it is difficult to
give correct quotations. Holders are asking 9 j for
Middling Fair lots, while buyers refuse to give over
9] cents.

Wo believe it to bo generally recognized as a
useful medicine by medical men, and wo can state
with perfect truth ami sincerity, that in one case
with which wo aro more particularly acquainted—
that of an old gentleman, at least, eighty years of
ago, residing a few miles from this city, end who is
troubled at times with an asthmatieal complaint,
the most decided relief is obtained whenever he
makes use of tho Bnlsiiiu, —this, nt the advanced
period of life which ho has arrived nt, may bo con
sidered as unanswerable proof of its virtues.

SOMETHING NEW AND HIGHLY IM
FORTANT TO FARMERS.
PATENT Excelsior Straw, Hay and Corn-Stalk
CUTTER. —The subscribers invite the atten
tion of Farmers, and all others interested in feed
ing Stock, to their newly-invented Cutter, which
they confidently offer to the Public as tho most
durable and effective Cutting Machine overused.
The Machine (except the legs and hopper) is
made entirely of Iron, and Steel, thus securing tho
important desideratum of durability ; and being
simple in its construction, there is but little liabil
ity to get out of order.
Tho Knives aro nineteen in number, of fine Cast
Steely with a cutting edge of thirty-seven, anti a
half feet; they work against nothing but the ma
terial to be cut, therefore they do not wear out tho
Machine or soon become dull; and when necessary
they cun bo sharpened in //.?<? minutes without re
moving them from the shaft.
With these machines tho cutting of food fora
large stock is but the work of a few minutes, and
with them can be cut Hay, Straw, Fodder, Corn-
Stalks, Pea-Vines, Turnips, Pumpkins, and all
such food as is used for Stock, and with such rapid
ity as is truly astonishing.
An inspection will convince all of its great su
periority, and all interested will be pleased with
this great improvement in Agricultural Imple
ments.
Those Cutters are securely boxed, so that they
will bear transportation to any distance without
injury. E. T. TAYLOR A CO.,
