I Solpif.es—The enemy who dared to tread the
| soil w. ich you defend, no longer exists. A few
| days were sufficient for you to destroy them.
These pirates, who scandalously attempt to
H rest from us this most precious part of the Span
| !-ii monarchy, have exalted the sentiment of
| nationality already so strong in your bosoms, and
| has made you superior, if possible, to what you
I have >hown vourseives in other times. When
I you saw yoitr flag contemned, and the honor of
1 four country attacked, nothing could resist your
I bayonets —nothing repress your constancy.
Las Pozas, La Candelaria, Rosario, places
hitherto unknown, are now rendered memorable
irom having witnessed you valor. You have
made admirable marches, without stopping at
the asperities of impassable sierras, or for the ar
dor of the sun, or the fury of the tempest; and as
those torrents which you have witnessed roll
In no the mountains, so you have fallen upon the
enemy, even to his annihilation. .
Soldiers! I am satisfied with you. lathe

We perceive that a subscription is being raised
fertile benefit of those men who assisted in de
troving the invading party.
Wo find the following card from Mr. Alemcn,
editor of the late Union newspaper, in this city,
in the Havana papers: •
Gentlemen —Will you be kind enough to insert
in the columns of your valuable journal the fol-
Inllowiiig communication:
The disorders committed in the city ol New
Orleans, on the-21*t of August last, in conse
quence of the false and calumnious statements
published by the newspapers, instigated and sus
tained by the fHibutteros , have compelled the un
dersigned to seek an asylum in this city. The
printing office of La Union was destroyed, I be
ing barely able to save myself from becoming a
victim to the unbridled fury of the multitude.
Wn account of such an unexpected event, I ad
dress myself to the gentlemen who have honor
ed the subscription lists of La Union with their
names, in order to explain in this manner the
reasons which have occasioned the suspension of
the pa[)er, beseeching at the same time those
with whom I have not fulfilled my engagements,
to await a change of circumstances, which will
permit me in some manner to compty with my
obligations. I hope that you will accept my
sincere acknowledgments for the infinite benefits
which you have conferred on the editor of La
Union. Victohiaro Aleman.
Havana, .dug. 5, 1851.
In addition to he above, we have the follow
ing memorandum from Mr. H. G. Summers, who I
is one of those who left here with Gen. Lopez, j
He arrived yesterday on the brig Tehuantepec, ;
having been pardoned by the Spanish authorities
in Havana.
On landing at Morrillos the inhabitants met
the expedition with a volley of musketry, which
was returned. The inhabitants immediately fled
and the Americans took possession of the roads.
Lopez left Crittenden’s command to take charge
of the liaggage, &c., and marched on to Las Po
zas, twelve leagues distant, with three hundred
and thirty men. He was attacked by the
Spanisli troops and joined by Major Kelly's com- j
mand. Crittenden had no communication with
Lopez during this time. The fight at Las Pozas
lasted about 2 hours. Col. Downman, Lieut. La
buzan, the captain ofthe Cuban company, and
other officers, were killed.
Gen. Pragay and Capt. Gotsy were mortally
wounded. Capt. Ellis was wounded, but was
able to walk. The party stopped at this place
for two days, after which they took up their line
of march to the mountains. On the road they
had several skirmishes, surprising small parties
and taking provisions. Gen. Lopez behaved
bravely on every occasion. Oh Sunday, the 17th,
at the Capital del Frias, Gen. Lopez wassurpris
■ ed by a large body of cavalry, which he at first
* mistook for patriots; when near the encamp
| ment, however, they drew their sabres and came
I down full tilt at a charge. When about one
I hundred yards off, Lopez's troops fired on them,
| killing fifteen and taking two prisoners. Lopez
[ then retreated to the mountains, and was attack-
I ed by six hundred infantry in ambush. They
[ fired on the Americans just as they started across
f the fields to gain a safe retreat. Three ofthe ex
pedition were killed and several were wounded.
The men liad been dropping off on the road ,
by degrees, and that night we mustered about ,
two hundred. They marched about the country | .
until Thursday the 21st, in heavy rain. They i .
were attacked by infantry and artillery. The ;
most of the musketry and ammunition being wet, j
and of little use, only twenty of the Americans
could fire. The enemy were by this means kept
at bay for a short time. Gen. Lopez cried out to
the Cuban company to leave the field of battle,
and that the Americans would hold the position.
The General tied with the Cubans up the moun
tain—the Americans retreating by degrees until
they had rejoined him. Next morning the re
mainder of the men had left the woods and
marched towards San Cristobal. Being fired on
! by some cavalry there, they dispersed in every
direction.
Mr. Summers and Mr. F. B. Hough, went in
to San Diego on the 21th, and gave themselves !
up to the officer in command there. At the same
time the proclamation of the Captain General
was received, granting quarter to such as would
surrender. Mr. Summers and his hand were then ■
treated by the authorities with every kindness, |
and they arrived at Havana on the 4th inst. The
Captain General received them in a friendly spir
it, and permitted them to be a liberty to roam
about the city.
There were one hundred and ninety-two
Americans in the Punta, and they were to have
sailed on the Bth for Spain. Among them was:
Mr. Breedlove of this city. The prisoners speak i
with resentment of certain individuals in this
\ All the prisoners have had their heads
shaved.
Major Kelly and Col. Hainrs sailed in the
brig Norma on Sunday last for New York. Mr.
Van Vetchen went on board the Albany.

OBITUARY.
Diod, at Bath, sth inst., Mrs. Bertkia Walker,
of Burke, in tho 80th year of her age. Mrs. Walk
er lived to sec the third generation of her children,
and was tho honored representative of a large and
most respectable family. She spent the evening of
her life in tho bosom of this domestic circle, lovod
and cherished not only as tho household mother,
but as a “ mothor of Israel.” For moro than
thirty years she has been a consistent Christian in
tho communion of tho Presbyterian Church, and
leaves a legacy of pure morality and genuine piety
behind her. She was zealous without enthusiasm,
hopeful without presumption —without pretensions
a Christian. Tho conclusion of such a life was that
predicted of tho just and upright, an “ end ofpoaco.”
She has been gathered to her fathers, and wo may
say:
“Thou art gone to the grave, but wo will not de
plore thee,
Whoso God was thy ransom, thy guardian and
guide,
He gavo thco ; ho took thee; and ho will restore
theo,
And death has no sting, since tho Saviour has diod.”

At his residence in Alfred, Alleghany county, N.

days, Mr. John B. Collins, in tho 57th yoar of
his age.
Comparatively sow dependents, like him, from an
early age, entirely dependent on their own re
sources, have over roaehed and maintained through
life so high and influential a position in socioty as
Dr. Collins. As a physician and surgeon ho stood
in the highest reputo, and enjoyed, for thirty years,
an extensive and lucrative practice. In tho politi
cal arena, he stood forth as a fearless and efficient
champion of what bo bolioved tho rights of tho
pcoplo ; and whon called repoatedly to servo them
in a legislative capacity, bo had tho rarefortuno to
givo almost entire satisfaction to his constituents,
and to oscapo in a great measure, tho shafts of ma
lignity with which official characters are so apt to
be assailed by thoir political opponents. Ho was
also favorably known as tho advoeato of tho tompo
raneo reformation, and other benevolent enter
prises of the day. A widow, six children, and nu
merous other relatives, remain to mourn tho sud
den loss of a kind husband, an affectionate father,
an amiable companion, and a faithful friend ; while
the community ill which he resided the greater part
of his life, has been deprived of one of its most distin
guished and valuable members.

THE FIRE IN CONWAY, MASS.
WE insert with pleasure, tho following letter
from tho Conway Tool Company. It shows
olcarlv that the faith of tho public in Rich’s Sala
mander Safes has not been misplaced:—
- Conway, Mass. July 14,1851.
Messrs. Rolf, Stearns ®Co., successors to C. Rich
A Co., 146 Water street, New York:—Gentlemen—
To your inquiries respecting the fate of the Sala
mander Safe, No. 3,38 L purchased of you through
Messrs. Wm. Bryce A Co., it is perhaps sufficient to
say, that I am at present writing on paper which
was in tho Safe at the timo of tho destruction of our
manufactory by firo, on tho morning of the 27th
inst. Tho Safe was on tho lower floor of a throe
story building, containing considerable quantities of
seasoned beach timber, and it was at a red heat
when it fell into a bed of live hard wood coals, in
which it remained imbeddod about threo hours,
when it was drawn out, and, as soon as practicable,
opened. The lcathor bindings of tbo books were
heated by tho steam, and somo of the loose papers
were somewhat stained; but not a single partilo of
paper in any book was injured, and not a single
mark on any loose paper, whether made by a pon
or pencil, is defaced. Wo consider tho Safe in
question as having passed througli one of the se
verest test to which it could have been put, and we
need not assure you teat we rejoice at its aucce.«|.
We will forward you the burnt Safe, and in the
meantime, send us anothor of the same size and
pattern, for immediate use.
Yours, respectfully.
