From the CharUston Courier.
Late from Havana.
The steamship leabel, Capt. Rollins, arrived
ht this port about midnight on Saturday even
ing irons Havana which port she left on Tues
day last. She touched at Key West on the
evening of the same day.
Tiie only important item of intelligence
brought by the Isabel, is that referring t# the
ease of Mr. Thrasher, late editor of the Spanish
journal the Faro industrial, the publication of
■which it will be recollectad was suapendedby
order of the Captain General.
A correspondent informs ua that Mr. Thrash
er’s paper was considered a Creole organ, and to
be in opposition to the Spanish journal, Diario
dp la Marina, the editors of which, together
with a clique of old Spaniards, wers consequent
ly his enemies, and had influence enough after
the execution of Lopez, to procure the suspen
sion of his papor, which was done about the Ist
of September last. This was ruinous to him,
inasmuch as the demand for his paper had in
creased so largely as to induce him to import a
new prosafrom New York, and to incur other
heavy expenses to bring out his issue in proper
style- ail of which labor and expanse was, of
course lost. He, however, re talced the hope
that the Captain General would soon allow him
to resume his publication, and in the mean time,
devoted himself to the alleviation of the suffer
ings of those of his fellow countrymen who
were then about sailing for Spain as prisoners.
But these very acts of kindness to those whom
the Spaniards deemed pirates, made him still
more obnoxious to his enemies, and likewise at
tracted the attention of the Government officials
towards Lim, who thereupon accused him of
having been connecfed with the expedition, al
though tney could not definitely understand in
what precise way the connection had existed.
The police, therefore, were ordered to watch
fctrictly all his movemente. Hla letters were
stopped and examined’ at the post office, but
these being msrely letters of business, and
thanks from the relatives and friends of the
prisoners he had succored, nothing to criminate
liim could be elicited from their contents. The
police were then Informed that his private cor
respondence came to him by the steamers.
Consequently when the Georgia arrived from
New Orleans,{two police officers gentcely dressed
f* citizen’s apparel, followed him cn board and
i ereeived him receive and pocket a letter handed
liim by the clerk of the beat. The officers fol
lowed him to the shore, and on his lauding ar
rested him and took h.m to the bureau of the
Chief of Police, where he was searched but no
thing was found on him but the lettor already
alluded to, which was merely one on purely pri
vate business. He was, however, detained un
der surveillance, sleeping at the polico kureaas
ard taking his meals st the different hotels, al
ways accompanied by a police officer. This
ntate of affairs lasted two or three days, when
nil at once a letter was produced, which was
fia<d to have been found sealed, and directed to
Mr. Thrasher, on the desk in his office, and al
though thero was ho post mark on it or any
thing to indicate wjiore it came from, it was
alleged that it hud beon brought by the Georgia.
It was then handtd to Mr. Thrasher to open,
which he did in presence of. the officers, and to
his utter astonishment discovered 1 that it was
written in cypher. He at once protested his
total ignorance ot its contents, and from whence
it could possibly have emanated. But his denial
was of no avail, and he was immediately placed
in solitary confinement in the prison, where he re
mained until Saturday, the 26th ulu, when he was
removed to the Punta Fort, ar.d thero placed in a
dungeon; which, our correspondent has been in
formed by those who know the place well, is an
excavation in tho rock on a level with the sea,
always wet below, snd damp above, and having
only a small round hole to admit the light. In
this loathsome den the only furniture is a board
•with two cleets on the ends, which serves as a
bed at night, and Jn the day as a seat to keep
the feet from the wet and slime of the bottom.
No one was allowed to visit him, and Mr, Owen
Htatcs that he applied for permission, but receiv
ed as a reply from the Captain General, that he
should be admitted as soon as any one.
On the day-prior to the departure of the Isabel,
oar correspondent saw the mother of Mr.
Thrasher in tears at the offico of Mr. Ex-Consul
Owen, endeavoring to get some information re
upecring her son. She wished to learn from Mr.
Owen if she could eee the Captain-General.
He answered no, but suggested that the judge
would give her liberty to see him. This pro
ceedlng of Mr. Owen seems, says our corres
pondent, strange, when it is well known that he
could have taken her in a moment to the Cap
tain-General, to whom she, merely wished to
state her desire to speak a word ot comfort to
her son, and sea whether he had any provisions
supplied him, &c.
A report was current at the sailing of the
Isabel, that Mr. Thrasher had been tried and
condemned to the Mines, but although it was
believed that such was the case, no authoritative
confirmation of the rumors had been made
Known.

The business in Coffee is ineignificant.
Additional from Taxas.—The San Anto
nio papers have news from Ei Paso to Septem
ber 12th. Mr. Wontsworth’s train bad arriv
ed at El Paso in good condition; and had star
ted back for San Antonio in charge of Mr.
Halliday. They expect to get to the latter
place by the 15th of the present month.
The military post at Elinsrio has been vaca
ted, and the post at Franklin would also be
vacated in afaw days The troops were to bo
moved to the Rio Grande,and stationed about
the line of 32 degrees. Fears were entertained
that the Indians would take an advantage of the
removal of the troops and make a descent npon
the inhabitants and steal off their property, as
they have heretofore tried their bands success
fully at that game, both at (ho Pass and above
it, where they-havo'succeeded in carrying off
«very description es siosk. They stole the
animals belonging to the Boundary Commis
sion when encamped at the Copper Mines.
A considerable party of miners, who spent
last summer on the Gila, have made good
work in digging geld The Gila gold minea
are said to be very rich.
The Ledger devotes the following paragraph
to the Alabama Mining Company.
Oar informant mat on the Pecos four of the
company who started fVom Alabama last spring
tor the Gila. They took the route byway es
lwd River. They all saffered mneh from
eickness, and many left the company. Gen.
I)a* ea > of Alabama, was one of the party,
nnd at Ue time the Judge met him, he was
unable to mount his horse. The others, were
also very feeble. They haa concluded t»
cemeto this city with Wentworth’s train.
Had the Judge and party not met them or
they received aaccor from aoino other aource,
they probably would have perished. They
meditate starting after they recruit themselves,
by onr San Antonio and El Paso route.
The Nneoes Valley informs us thatthe towns
of Corpus Chrtsti is improving rapidity. Our
friend Capi. Britton is bailding for himself a
fine brick habitation. We hope he will have
the doors large enough to admit that celebrated
nombrert ofhij.
Col Emory, accompanied by Lieut. Mei
rher left San Antonio for El Paso en th
lSlh Inst.
Advices received ot San Antonio, render tho
fact certain that Wild Cat and his Indians have
gone to join the Mexican Govern went forces
in tbs ooatest with the Sierra Madre iusur
gents. The savages threaten vengeance on
■ ccoaot of the arrest of Gopher John and an
other runaway negro. Speaking of Wild Cat,
the San Antonio Lodger says :
We are informed that there is a standing or
der issued by the commander of this depart
ment, forbidding Wild Cat or his tribe from
coming on this side of the Rio Grande. We
are also informed that a psrt of the tribe were
lately on a hunting expedition on the Nueces,
in Texas, and that the commander of tbs post
at Eagle Pass was aware of the fact. Should
oar information prove trn* —and we believe
our informant to be a man of veracity—the
commanding officer atlhat post ehoald bs held
to strict accountability for a disobedience c f an
ordor so just, and the strict enforcement of
which alone will save the lives of our citizens
who are so unfortunate as to live in the neigh
borhood of this dangerous and unprincipled
chief.
Our military government cannot be teo
strict or •tringent in its iuterconrse with this
tribe. They are dangerous neighbors, and we
are of opinion that the day is not far distant
when we shall have a striking illustration of
the power and will of the hero of the Florida
swamps.

The Augusta Bridge*
MsMfßis, Ternr., Ost. 28, 1851.
Dsar Sir. —Tbe prcspccta for a speedy completion
cf the Railroad uniting svr eity with y*un*, is at
present fUtierieg. About oas httadrrd miles of the
Rr«d between this place and Qaatsvillo is new, or
will be in a few days, under contract. Three hun
dred hands srs nsw employed on tho first section (of
tO miles) betweea Meoep tis and LaGrange. This
periicm of tbe Hoad will bseempleted by the first
of August next, sally equipped. Tbe ears and loco
motives will all he ready. The ir*n for oae hundred
miles has been pnrobsred at 936 34 per too (of 2240
lbs.} to be delivered free of charge ia New Orleans.
A capital stock oi 92,600,089 fits keen secured to tbe
Company thraagh the indefatigable exertions of
Gevcmar Jokes, and two calls of 8 per cent, each,
have been mode, wirch the Stockholders are prompt
ly paying in. No Railroad wan ever commenced
under more favorable auspices. The question is now
being agitated here, what action will be taken by the
City of Angusta, and by the Legislature of your
State, in reference to the Bridge ever the Savannah
river. Will this ebstructicn be removed ? er shall
we be driven to the cities of Savannah end Norfolk
insteadofto your city and Charleston? Whatanswer
shall we have to these questions?
Remarks. —lt is impossible for as to answer
the inquiry of onr Correspondent as to what
the Georgia Legislature will do in reference
to the Bridge over the Savannah river f We
presume, however, that body will do nothing
in the premises, having already granted a per
petual charter for the Bridge to the eity of
Apgusta. It may possibly pass a law anthori
ling the Charleston road to land on this side
by paying to the city a fair and valaable con
sideration. This, however, can be accomplish*
ed by a direct negotiation with the city withont
any legislative aid. Bat that the Legielatnre
will authorize a connection of the Georgia and
Charleston roads, we have no idea. Snch an
enactment would in onr opinion transcend
their powers and bo violative of the constitu
tional rights of the city under the charters
It cannot be expected by these who desire to
have the Charleston road oross the Savannah
river and erect a depot within the city of
Augusta, that tbe city should not be fairly and
fully remunerated for tho damages her proper
ty wenld sustain. Ths Bridge now yields an
interast on quite S4OO 000, tbe greater portion
of which revenue is derived from the freights
passing between the roads. That portion
would of course be entirely lost to tho city in
the event tbe road crossed the river. And yet
the largest offer made to the city for the privi
lege is SIOO,OOO It is not seriously pretended
that the city will derive any advantage by the
roads crossing the river,yet the advocates of
tho measure seem to regard it a monstrous out
rage that the city will not sacrifice this valua
ble property for their immediate benefit. The
citizens of Augusta aro willing to yield much
to the spirit of enterprise and commercial in
tercourse, bat it is quite too much to expect
them to make such a sacrifice as the acceptance
of the offer heretofore tendered would involve
If the Bridge tolls are such a serious detri
ment as the advocates of crossing insist upon,
they have only to manifest their faith by their
acts and offer the city a liberal remnaeration
for the injury her property will sustain, and
we feel confident they will be met in the same
spirit by our authorities, and a bargain be
readily and easily consummated.
If, however, the city of Augusta were to
refase entirely to permit the Charleston road
to cross the river and ereot a depot within her
limits, neither that road eor So nth Carolina
conld complain of iajnstice. The road was
bnilt not only without any such expectation,
but in the face of the oft repeated declarations
that it was not desired. Apart from this, the
Legislature of South Carolina have not only
refused to renew the charter for (he Bridge,
notwithstanding the City had the State’s deed
to the land on which the Bridge stands, deed
ing it “for the ointment of e Toll Bridge for
ever," bnt that body has songht in every con
ceivable way to anaey the eity by either des
troying entirely or greatly impairing the value
of her property in the Bridge. It first refus
ed to renew the charter —then gkve a charter
to the Charleston Railroad Company, which
had no more right er title to the property
than an inhabitant of the moon. And at the
succeeding aession repealed that charter and
granted another charter to Heekt Shultz.
who had no more right to the property (ban
the Railroad Company. All this was done fer
the sole purpose of annoying the City and
destroying her property, or forcing her into
such terms as the Charleston Railroad Com
pany might offer for the privi lego of crossing,
and that too, as before remarked, in the face of
the Stale's deed conveying the land for the
purposes of a “toll bridge forever The
Charleston Road nor Sooth Carolina, wo
repeat, can have no caoaa of complaint if they
are forever denied the privilege of crossing
the river with their Road. Yet oar people
are willing to forget ail the little petty jadgliag
on the part of the Legislature, in relation to
the Bridge and negotiate on fair terms for the
accommodation of the public.

The Convention ot Cotton Planter*.
Mr. Editor: —Being at Macon during the
great Fair iaat week, curiosity prompted me
to look in at the assembled meeting of Cotton
planters and others in Convention, to take
into consideration the best means to protect
the Agricaltaral interests of the Southern
States in their great staple article of Cotton.
At several periods in the last ten years tho
price of Cotton has reached very low figures;
so much so, ss to alarm the planters and get
their labor at a severe loss. And as Colton ia
now ranging from 4d in England there is not
tnsch prospect for the planter to receive a
fair remaneratioa for bis toil and trouble.
The Convention as a body seemed to be
formed of very intelligent gentlemen from
this and the adjoining States; very many of
them have lived to see by a long life of prac
tical experience, the propriety and necessity
of providing some means for the safe succes
sion of their personal property —and the work
ing of the same to a fair advantage—for if
some means are not devised it is very evident
that 4 to 6 cents for Cotton, will leave nothing
short of rnin and backruDtcy through the
planting States.
The immense increase of Negroes by pur
chase from the Slates of Maryland and Vir
ginia of late years—*as well as the quadrup
ling insreese born amosgst ue—will impov
erish ns instead of benefiting us, in less hen a
quarter of a century. It is very evidentsoma
wise and prudent steps must bs takas, and I
would suppose an intelligent bady of men as
thus assembled, will bring forth some impor
tant measures for the benefit of the country.
When I was piesent a Mr. Bay.'ord, who is,
or has been Consul to Amsterdam, entertained
the Convention with some lucid and intelli
gent views relalive to Southern Shipping—
imports and exports to and from Amsterdam —
with various commercial statistics. I thougit
a very large amount of his remarks were
very imp-meat to commercial men, but I
think for farmers and Cotton planters a diffe
rent kind of knowledge is necessvry. Tho
farmer or planter and the merchant have diffe
reni work to do. I* is wall it is so. The
troubles of the merchant are wi b his delin
quent customers —the troubles of the farmer
ore with his laborers and the frying, dry’, or
over wet seasons—for we are subjgct to great
extremes in the Sonthern States.
Our prosperity will not begiG by establish
ing commercial intercourse with Holland or
Austria. These United States pay a balance
of trade to France of ten to twelve millions
of dollars. It takes about four ship leads of
Cotton to pay for one load in return of Silks,
Ribbons, Lises, fine Brandies, &c. If we
try the Germans they will give ns the same
balance to pay. Their firs© Liners, Broad
Cloth?, Watches, Jewelry and other knick
knacks, addod to onr excessive love to conti
nental fashions and French deceptions, to
gratify so many of oar extravagant purse
proud repabliesn?, who think every thing
vulgar which is plain and substantial This
kind of trade may suit them, but it will Rot do
for the great general wellfsre cf the United
States.
Oar prosperity will begin when no more
Negroes are brought from other States— when
the product of labor is used amongst ns for
local wants, and such articles of necessary
consumption as wo cannot make amongst us.
When the division of labor is fairly propor
tioned in making Cotton, Corn, Wheat, Rye,
Oats, raising Hogs, Mules and Ho.ses, estab
lishing Factories, Shops of al! kinds, making
machinery of various kinds. Then and uet
until then, will oar prosperity bejin.
As long ha England can get our Cotton at
4d, we cannot ship yarns cr cloth to the Conti
nent, and to send foward Cotton at that re
turn of price, the more we seed, the poorer
we shall become.
We must adopt some measures to retain a
fair value upon our great staple at home, and
make onr foreign friends pay ns a fair price
for it. I have a plan which I will give you jn
a futnre number, as I am anxious to see what
the Convention wifi do. Bo far as they went
daring my stay in looking en, they were in a
min. Judge Andrews of our own State
threw a fog amongst thorn in mixing np a
notion that the planters and merchants might
export and import in conjunction, and save
**2o per cent” on tbeir present outlay for
goods for plantation asas. Verily he may be
a good judge of law, bat he showed vary
little common sense in pointing the Conven
tion to a coarse of wisdom to ensure general
prosperity. Bmma.

cial Advertiser of Saturday afternoon says:
The Money market continues to improve, and
is to-day decidedly easier than it was this day
week. The offerings at the banka are compara
tively light, and they aro now in a position to be
much more liberal in their discounts. In the
street, money is obtained with facility on first
class endorsed short paper, and od call on gov
erment and state stocks, at 6 a 7 per cent dis

Now that South Carolina has followed in

sippi, and virtually dsclarad against secession,
or any other scheme of violence, wo consider
the red flag of disunion hanled down, and the
white fle» of peace aed concord hoisted in its
placo. The people of the South havo allowed
their love of the Union to triemph over their
sense of wrong, whether rea! or imaginary;
bat let as not fall into tho error of snpposieg
that became the flames are subdued tho embers
are extinguished. They may be easily made
to blaxe afresh, but it depends upon the North
whether they shall go oat altogether. It is for
the Norm te say whether, by (he eiereise of
wisdom and forbearance, pease shall taka the
place of agitation, and harmony and fraternity
the place of discord and hate. Lot the North
maintain the covenants of the Constitation
firmly and in good faith, and ns shall no more
hear the harsh and hatefal threat of disunion.—

columns yesterday to the effect th.?t it ie re
ported that the Chevalier flotvemnn, the Aus

Mr. Webster that ho will withdraw so soon as
Koasath arrives in this country, will doubtless
cause a little astonishment, which will be in

Austrian Minister ntthc Court of St. James’
has, es it is currently reported in well informed
circles in Enrope, signified to the British
Government his intention of pursuing a simi
lar coarse on the landing of the Hungarian
patriot in England. That Austria, however,
serieasly moans to involve herself in hostili
ties with two such powers as England and
America wo cannot fer a moment imagine, but
are inclined to think that this step is merely an
endeavor to save appearances, an object which
the Austrian Government sets high store Dp
on, as witness its recent announcement,
through its organs, that although It consented
to the withdrawal of (be two non-German
provinces of Prnssia from tbo Germanic con
federation, it did eo with the understanding
that that step would not prejudice the question

Important Railroad Invention —The
Editor of the Nett Yofk Express has been
shewn an ingenious “ Self-adjusting and
Looking Railroad Switch,” invented by
Messrs. Pest and Parry, of 64 Cortland*
•treat, N. Y., and designed to prevent cars
from running off the track, at the tarn outs.
It is very simple, and emincn* engineers who
hate given it a trial, say that its ebact is Tally
accomplished, no matter how the switch may
be turned, or at what speed the engine may
bs running. It is regelated or worked by the
engineer, who, by means of a moreabJe wheel,
acting on an tsciined plain, can tarn the
switch, while the engine is in motion, any woy
he may choose. Sbonld the switch be oat es
place, aa sometimes happens, before reaching
it, the weight of the engine will adjust it; so
that it is impossible for the cars to ran off the
'rack.
Such an invention, it mast be conceded, will
be of the ntmost importance, if generally, used
in preventing the nnmeroas accidents and loss
of life occasioned by switches being cat of
plaoe ; and will also do away with the necessi
ty, and consequent expense, of employing
switch tenders. The weight of an engine or
car, it is asserted, will invariably place the
“switch” right, when oat of place, and cones
ffiuantly a ran off cannot occnr where it is used
It has been in daily use on the Petersburg and
Roanoke Railroad for the last three months,
and found to work admirably. The inventors
are now engaged in putting it down on the
whole line of the Wilmington and Richmond
Road. It has also been tested and approved
by the President and directors of the Lancas
ter and Harrisburg Rail Road company, tha
officers of the Manassas Gas Read, the Alex
andria and Orange Road, and the Lehigh and
Suequehannah Road. — Ch. Cow.
The Largest Rope Maris© Krtabushmixt

It belongs to the National Goverment, and is
situated in the Navy Yard, not far from Chelsea

ship* of the United Stales. The work is dona
by the intervention cf machinery, invented ex
pressly for the purpose. The building, inclu
ding the machines, coat about 6350,000; and
since being erected and put into operation, tho
establishment has paid for itself once if not
twice over, out of the gains to the Government,
produced under the admirable system of the offl
cerson this station, over the old modeof carrying
on the manufacture. The oordage ie of the
very beat description, and coasters and sea
going vessels are chartered every year at this port
to take this cordage and government stores to
the naval vessels of the United State, in the
harbors along our shores, and in all parts oi the
world Until recently it was the only public
work of the kind in the Union. Now there is
another similar to it, built within two or three
years, at Memphis.— Uonton Trana.
