AUGUSTA, Q A ■
TUESDAY MORNING, SKUTi 9.
Cuban Intellgenee.
Knowing the deep anxiety of the public to
read every thing from Cuba, we have during
the excrement, with a view of satisfying a
very natural desire, devoted much of our
space to the subject of Cuban affairs. It is
proper however to remark, that we place very
little confidence in much that is publish J.
This incredulity is based upon the far (hat
the sources of information are very rr.crtain
and often unreliable, and the ev‘ jnces so
abundant before our eyes of a deposition on
the part of the Cuban sympathisers in this
country, to magnify and misrepresent every
thing, as their feelings or inclinations sugges
ted.
Among other statements, which we regard
as fabulous, are those in reference to the pris
oners taken with Lopes—one saying they
were condemned to the Spanish Mines for life,
or a term of years, and another that they had
been executed. Our reason for disbelieving
both these statements is the fact that the Capt.
General of Cuba published over his own sig
nature in the Havana Faro Industrial, of the
25th August, a Proclamation, of which the fol
lowing is a correct translation.
Now if the prisoners were captured on the
29th, they could not be either executed or sent
to the mines without the porpetration of the
most perfidious and degrading fraud imagina
ble.
We are therefore of opinion that they have
not only not been executed or condemned to
service in the mines of Spain but that they
will be returned to this country. The Procla
mation is in these words :
“Ilia Excellency proclaims that the major part of
the pirates who hud invaded the Island, having been
exterminated through the repeated and valiant as
saults of the army, as well as through the decided
and active co-o, eration of the country people ; and
consideiing, likewise, that by tha unanimous confes
sion of all those who had been taken and shot, they
had been deluded and deceived in being made to
believe that the country had called for them, tint
the array would make common cause with them,
and that victory would be easy and certain; feting
of opinion too, that in no other mode could ibe mul
titude have been induced ti embark in this enter
prise, and furthermore, that public vengence has
been satisfied by the severe- punishments already
inflicted, and that humanity now requires an exhi
bition of clemency—it is decreed :
“Ist. That quarter will be granted to any indi
vidual belonging to the bandol L 'pez, who may sur
render or be apprehended by the army or the coun
try people, within the : pace of four days following
the promulgation of this proclamation—after which
the general order of the 20th Ajrii last will remain
in full force and vigoi.
“2d. Any such individual, cr individuals, who
may be attached to the band of the madman Lopez,
will be exempt from all punishment and will be re
stored to their country —if a foreigner.”
The Compromise Measures.
Havins shown that the character of these
measures is a prominent and controlling issue in
the present canvass, we offer an argument to day
upon one of them—the admission of California
—and shall present articles upon them seriatim.
The discussion of these measures entered large
ly into the canvass of last year, before the Con
vention election. The decision of Georgia upon
them was then made. Against that decision,
(which Governor McDonald says, “ought not to
bo disturbed,”) a formal appeal upon the facts
on which it was founded, has been entered by
the Southern Rights party. The verdict then
rendered was, that these measures contained
nothing inconsistent with the honor of the
South, and therefore were not proper grounds
for resistance. The Southern Rights party in
convention explicitly declare them degrading
to the Southern States, and violative of Consti
tutional principles. Not a solitary measure es
capes this sweeping censure. The admission of
California was the sole act of Congress inconsis
tent with the demand of the Georgia Legislature.
On this the voice of the State differed from that
of the Legislature. All they asked in reference
to New Mexico and Utah was, that the Proviso
should not be applied. It was not applied. Yet
the New Mexican and Utah bills are embraced
in the censure. Tho Texan boundary bill is em
braced in the censure, in the preamble, though
not among the bills against which the Constitu
tutional objections are aimed. The District is
also embraced.
Are then, or are not, the parties in Georgia at
issue upon these bills 1 If the Southern Rights
party is in the right, ought Georgia to remain
contentedly in a state of degradation ?
The discussion of these questions, we consider
of precisely the same practical consequence nou>
that they are revived, last year when original
ly before the people. Upon the principles of the
Southern Rights party, we have the right to
leave the Union without opposition, for reasons
to be judged solely by ourselves. The same party
which holds this right, holds that we are de
pressed and degraded, and that by unconstitu
tional acts. Surely, then, nothing for remains
them to do, but to get a majority and leave the
Union. No party denies the right to leave the
Union for deliberate, palpable and dangerous in
fractions of the Constitution. If the Southern
Rights party iB correct upon the facts, there is
therefore, no principle of any party which is ad
verse to immediate dissolution. Wej shall en
deavor to justify by argument on the appeal , the
verdict rendered on the first trial.

“ The Stabs and Stripes.”—The Montgomery
Advertiser <f- Gazette, in referring to the cause
which led to the late overwhelming triumph of the
Union Party in this state, sneeringiy remarks that
“the Stars and Stripes are an infallible argu
ment.
Whereupon that ineorrigable wag Htxorcn
of the Chambers Tribune, expresses the con
viction that the British and Mexicans are de
cidedly of the same opinion. Hoopb.i is a
very sensible man and says many good tings.
Gold Digging at Stratford, Ct.-—The
Bridgeport Standard states that some fifty per
sons are now engaged in digging for gold a
Stratford. They expect to find some treasure
to tho amount of from $7,000,000 to $10,000,-
000, said to have been buried at Stratford by
a Spanish captain. They have already excava
ted a huge hole and are now awaiting the arri
val of a clairvoyant from Albany who is to in
struct them in regard to farther proceedings.
Mississippi—The First Gan*
By telegraph c tthe Charleston Courier, we
have returns of tie election held in Mississippi
on Monday and 'J uesday last, Ist and 2d irist.,
for members oi (he State Convention from
thirty-six countis • —two thirds of the State—
which show the following gratifying result.
The thirty six counties elect 71 delegates, of
these 64 are Constitutional Union men, and 7
are “ Disunionists.” “ Secess : onists” or “ Fire
Eaters.” This renders it certain that the Union
party have carried the State by an overwhel
ming majority, and that Mr. Rhett's bugle
man, Quitman, will be in a hopeless minority
in the contest with Foote for Governor of that
State. This is glory enough for one day.
The Union men of Miss., adopted the Geor
gia Platform and maintained their position
thereon most gallantly, while the Disunionists,
like their allies in Georgia, were for any thing,
every thing and nothing long. They could not
deceive tho intelligent and patriotic voters of
that State. The issues therefore were precise
ly the same as those now before the people in
Georgia, and the result in this State will bo
quite as overwhelming to the disorganisers and
agitators. Georgians, the whole country looks
to you to respond in the language of Freeman
and as t&comes you, to your daughters, Ala
bama and Mississippi.
We are indebted to our much esteemed
friend, that sterling old Patriot, Judge John
Moore, formerly of Lexington, Geo., for the
following details of the result in Lowndes Co.
which, we judge from the letter accompany
ing it, filled the gallant old republican’s heart
to overflowing. He is always to be found ou
the side of liberty and (he Constitution.
Long life to him, and may an all wise Provi
dence vouchsafe that the evening of his well
spent life may be as brilliant as his early man
hood was distinguished for devotion to the
institutions secured by the blood and treasure
of his revolutionary sires.
Four of the candidates Cobb, Billups,
Harris and Young, will be recognised as
Georgians, formerly from Oglethorpe and
Wilkes Counties .
Joseph 11. Cobb, Union, 744
Thomas C. Billups, “ 741
Barksdale, “ •••742

Geo. H. Young, “ 623
Wynne, •• 554
This election will produce a greater num
ber oi couverts from the secession ranks in
that Stato, to the cause of Union, than all tho
arguments that could hava been addressed to
them. The most rabid fire-eaters of a few
months ago will now afloct to become the
most ardent friends of the Union, but Ihey
cannot gammon the people. They have seen
their tracks and will repudiate them and their
principles as enemies to the government of
their fathers, and therefore unworthy to be
trusted.
Dinner to Mr* Stephens.
It will be seen by the subjoined proceedings
of a portion of the citizens of Hancock, War
ren, and Washington counties, that ihey have
tendered a dinner to the Hon A. H. Steph
ens. Mr. S. has accepted the invitation and
appointed Tuesday, the 30ih of September,

AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1851.
For the Chronicle Sf Sen'isel.
Cherokee Co., Geo. Sept. Ist. 1851.
Messrs, Editors : The South Carolina Disu
nionists and other perambulating scribblers of
like kidney, who have been flooding the papers
in the low country with false and exaggerated
reports of the progress of their cause in upper
Georgia, have seldom penetrated to this seelu
ded section : and as the brag game monopo,
lized by them, and no part of the tactics of the
Union party, tho progress of the campaign .in
the mountain region of Cherokee, has attracted
little attention abroad. I have once or twice
taken up my pen to write, and as often has the fear
of being set down as a false reporter, writing for
Buncombe, deterred me from my purpose.
Though somewhat secluded from “ the rest of
mankind’,’ bv the mountain wilds which encom
pass them, the sturdy mountaineers are not
wanting in devot'on to the Union, nor are they
indifferent to the progress of the present cam
paign. Under the disguise of Union Democrats
the political quacks have been attempting to
palm ofl McDonald pills upon them as genu
in? ; the same misrepresentation and hydra
faced deception which marks their movements
everywhere, has been practiced by the Fire
eaters here ; but without success. Many of the
people here are from South Carolina, and re
member with shame the course pursued by the
nullifiersin their native State. In their sim
plicity they cannot conceive how it is that Mc-
Donald, who was then so bitter against Caroli
na, should now be the well beloved, and bu
gleman of Rhett & Co. They are not well
versed in the tricks of the Fire enters—though
every court day, and public gathering is open
ing their eyes.
1 was at Canton court week. I heard some
of the speeches; though several had been made
before I arrived. The first who occupied the
stand after my arrival, was Biown, who prac
tices law In Canton. He ungenerously occupied
the bench at the time appointed for Dr Slaugh
ter to speak; and went into a labored argument
to prove that the Georgia Platform is less con
ciliatory—less Union in its tendency, than the
secession platform. Both the position and the
argument were worthy of the man —worthy of
his cause and perfectly characteristic of both.
I will not go into detail—bat his tongue wagged
on until the Judge came in to take his seat,
when he ceased, having accomplished for that
day what seemed his only purpose—the silence
of Dr. Slaughter. But the next day, Thursday,
the Dr. came forth like a lion from his lair, and
in the course of his speech he laid unsparingly
on the backs of his predecessors, what Butler
would have termed
“ Many a stout thwack and many a bang.”
He utterly demolished the puerile weapons of
his adversaries —and even his bitterest oppo
nents acknowledged that his speech was supe
rior to any delivered during the week.
Next him, Stiles, with his courtly mein,
stood up; and had a great deal more to say
about his foreign mission, and the demonstra
tions made abroad by such an American, than
about his present position—which like too many
of his compeers, he seemed unwilling to define.
With his Turkish pipe, tobacco, and disgusting
airs, together with his speech, he rendered him
self quite conspicuous. He remindeded me
very strikingly of tho story of the “ travelled
monkey” which went tho round of the papers a
year or two ago.
Court being over, I started for tho border of
Cherokee and Gilrner, and for nearly two weeks
my business has led me among the sturdy yeo
manry of the mountains. I have visited them
at their rude homes, and in their field, and I am
confident that Cobb will have a large majority
here. The Fire-eaters are busy—but their un
wearied eliorts, and their entire programme of
trickery and fraud will not suffice. The people
see where the few who still dare to “raise the
cry of disunion” are found battling—they re
member the report that reached them by a wag
oner from Rome, about ayeai ago, when Capt.
Nelson declared himself a rebel to the Govern
ment, the moment the California bills, then
pending, were passed—andjwhere his shameless,
traitorous co-adjutors were heard to rally the
people, in voting against some resolutions in
troduced by Judge Lumpkin, by cries of “ G—d
D — n the Union”—l say these people, though
simple in their manners, and not versed in sci
ence—see to which side all such sentiments are
allied —and to avoid such detestable company
they are determined to shun them and their can
didate—preferring rather to maintain inviolate
the constitution and to preserve, and perpetu
ate the Union of Washington.
I find the mail boy just coming over the hill
and as he visits this region but once a week,
I must close—assuring you that the cause is per
fectly safe iu Chekokee.
Small Pox In Oglethorpe.
The Penfieid Temperance Banner of the
6th inst-, published the following letter from
Mr. John A. Treuchard, of Oglethorpe county,
in whose family the disease originated, in that
county.
Mr. Editor: —By request from you, through
Dr. Herror, I send you the following report,
which is a statement of tbe Small Pox in Ogle
thorpe county, np to Monday the Ist inst.
One hundred and two cases have occurred.
Only five cases are now under medical treat
ment; these convalescent —all considered en
tirely out of danger with the exception of -ine
—Mr. T. L. This is the fifth week since t e
was attacked—has been one of the worst cases
of confluent Small Pox. Although he is
slightly convalescent, yet it is extremely doubt-,
ful whether he recovers, his system baing so
attenuated by the disease.
There have been fifteen cases of “confluent.”
Many of tbe other cases have been very light;
so much so, that they have not been confiued to
their beds at ail.
Total number of deaths, are sou died
in tbe first stages of the disease—about the
fifth day, the pustules failing to make their
appearance, or coming out in irregular form.
No new cases have occurred in about twelve
days. The disease has prevailed in tweivo
families. There are about fifty persons in
these families who have not had it—all well
vaccinated; and it is hoped there will be no
more new cases.
The disease has invariably gone light with
those who have been well vaccinated, and many
have escaped an attack entirely.
Every precaution has been taken to keep the
disease from spreading, and it has not spread
in a single instance, since it was ascertained to
be Small Pox.
Tbe Physicians, after thorough examination
into all the circumstances whereby my family
might have been exposed to the contagion, can
arrive at no conclusion whence it came. In
deed, some think the first case to have been
sooradic, while others contend that tbe Small
Pox never occurs sporadically.
My little daughter was the first case that oc
curred. She had been laboring under a cuta
neous disease for over eight months, previous
to tbe attack of Smalt Pox. This disease put
on several different appearances; atone time,
the skin assumed a hard, glossy appearance, at
another, small hard pastules forming, at anoth
er, small blisters gradually suppurating; and
again, large sores, covering, in many instances,
a space of several iuches. She was still suf
fering from thirdisease when she was attacked
with the Small Pox; but since her recovery
from the Small Pox, this disease has entirely
disappeared.
I have seen nearly all the cases, as I have
been visiting and nursing the afflicted ever
since the convalescence of my own family.
Yours Truly,
John A. Trenchard.

The Action nbar San Cristobal.—A
correspondent in the Picayane gives a some
what circumstantial and quite interesting ac
count of the engagement in which Gen.
Enna was killed. He says :
After the action at Las Pozas, which occur
red on tha 13:h, the patriots continued in posi
tion unmolested by the Royalists for nearly two
days when they took up their lino of march for
the hills. Gen. Enna, at the head of part of
his forces, (leaving 400 men at Bahia Honda to
guard the artillery, stores, sick and wounded,)
crossed the mountains by a different route than
that taken by the Patriots, and placed himself
with liosales on the south side of the hills. The
patriots made their appearance in small parties
at different points, which kept the troops in
continual movement. The roads in the plain
are filled with water from recent rains, and tho
repotts continually speak of the labor of the
soldiers iu marching through continued
sloughs. The appearance of a party of Pa
triots near Callajabos, a small town two or
three leagues from Guanajay, drew the troops
to the east. The next day they were an
nounced as beiug far west of the army. The
troops again took up the line of march west,
through the worst possible roads, and on Sun
day morning, the 17th, Gen. Enna was advised
that Lopez was at a small coffee estate at the
foot of the hills, one league from San Cristobal
(which town you will find on the road through
the southern plain nearly south of Bahia Hon
da ) The estate belonged to the family of
Lopez’s wife, and Lopez had in former years
lived there. Gen Enna immediately put all
his troops in motion, about 1 000 men, and
when near the estate divided them into two
columns, one of which he placed under the
command of Rosales and ordered to attack the
flank of the enemy ; the other he led in person.
When he came in sight of Lopez’s men they
were reclined undersome mango trees, it being
about noon. On the appearance of the troops
the Patriots took to the trees : when the charge
was ordered, they left these and lined a fence.
The troops advanced very slowly, nowith
standing that the trumpet was blowing the
“charge bayonet,” and the goneral endeavored
to m-.jufi;*! 'hem to a more rapid motion, oven
striking officers and men with the flat of his
sword. Despairing at their cowardice, he or
dered a small number of grenadiers to follow
him, and seeing the small number of the patriots
he advanced at a rapid pace with some ten or
twenty brave fellows who followed him. He
was received with murderous coolness. Not a
man remained standing after the first discharge,
and tha only one not wound-d was the gene
rat’s aid, who-e horse received eight balls.
Gen. Etina received a rifle shot in the
abdomen and a graze on the temple. When
he fell the column halted aud very soon were
in confusion. Rosales seeing this, instead of
advancing retreated and took up a position on
a hill, the halting column exposed to the cool
and steady fire of the patriots. Seeing their
men fall on all sides, for every shot told upon
thedeusa mass, they began to retreat, and soon
bfoke into open flight, not halting uutil they
got to the town of San Cristobal. Geu. Enna
was taken into a hut by tbe road side and a
guard of twenty men could not be gathered to
protect him. He was carried in a cot to Can
delaria and died on the sugar estate of Chapo
tin, on his way to Celba del Agua, to take the
cars for town. H a death was kept as Becret as
possible, but soon leaked out. At San Cristo
bal my informant counted fifty six wouoded
men and officers in the temporary hospital.
Gsn. Resales took the command, and on doing
so addressed the troops and assured them that
'he tactics should be changed; and that the
onetny ehiuld not be attacked in his trenches,
and the soldiers should be saved from forced
marches. Since then that column has done
nothing.
Cuba — The President. —The National In
telligencer says that circulars have been ad
dressed to the Collectors and other civil officers
at the principal ports, North and South direc
ting them to remain permanen'ly at their posts,
and auy who may be temporarily absent to re
turn forthwith, and personally attend to the ex
ecution and enforcement of the instructions
which have been issued by the different de
partments; and all of tnem are fully aware
that they will be held to strict accountability for
the fulfilment of their duties
The first act of the President, after his re
turn to the city, and fully informing himself of
the facts of the case, and the undoubted delin
quency of the officer, was tho dismissal of the
Collector of New Orleans and the appoint
ment of a substitute ; and the Collectors, Mar
shals, Dirlrict Attorneys, and other officers of
the Government have been most emphatically
informed that any want of due zeal and activi
ty in the performance of their duties will be
followed by immediate dismissal.
Monday the 22nd, tha first day of our Cirouit
Court has been named as a proper dsy for
holding the meeting to consider the shortness
of the Cora Crop, and we hope the different
beats will not fail to be represented. Tbe del
egates should inform themselves as near as
possible, of the quantity of corn which will be
wanted in their respective beats. We under
stand that appointments of delegates have al
ready been made by several beats on the
Northport side of the river. As yet we have
not heard of any on this side.
It is a subject of importance, and our citizens
should give it immediate attention .—Alabama
Monitor.
We perceive in the Washington Union
of Tuesday, a notice to the effect that
if the legal representatives of Capt. Wm. H.
Cary, and his brothers and sisters, any he
had,) who removed from the State of Virginia
to (it is believed) the State of Georgia or
South Carolina, will address “Redfield,” at
the city of New York they will hear some
thing greatly to their advantage.
The Union observes that if the editors of
this State, Richmond, Virginia, Savannah and
Augusta, Georgia, and Montgomery, Alabama,
will call attention to the above facts, in their
respective Journals, they will probably be doiujg
