The Cauras*
A* the canvass progresses! the Cobh men are
becoming barren of effective argument and des
titute of a platform to stand upon. They have
charged McDonald and the Republican party
with being disunionists until|they are laughed at
and ridiculed for supposing that they can any
longer gull the people with that worn out false
hood. They only excite the wrath of the crowd
now, when they attempt to make it appear that
they are the only simon pure Union men. Peo
ple are becoming convinced that Mr. Cobb and
his allies are clean off on the Northern side of
the Georgia Platform. If they don’t complain
that the South got too much in the compromise
measures, they at least say we achieved a great
victory and got all we asked! That's what we
call backing the Georgia Platfrom with a ven
geance. Every body knows that the Conven
tion did not approve those measures. Georgia
was willing to abide by them for the sake of
peace and the Union, with the express assertion
that this must be an endoi aggressions. How can a
deceut man have the face to stand before a Geor
gia audience and justify all the compromise mea
sures, and yet claim to be on the Georgia Plat
form. Out upon such hypocracy. They are
wolves in sheeps clothing—political tricksters,
whom the people must watcn —Albany Patriot

Death ok Capt. James P. Stuart. —We re
gret to perceive from the advices brought by
the Empire Cityl that Capt. Janies P. Stuart.
oftheU.S. Rifle Regiment, son of John A
Stuart, Esq., of this State, and formerly Editor
of the Charleston Mercury, whose gallantry in
Mexico is well known to our citizens, hand beer,
killed in an encounter with the Indians. Major
Kearny, in command of a company of 80 men
with 25 pack mules, had just arrived at Rogue
river. While the forces were coming around the
mountain in two detachments. Capt. Stuart, with
a party of thirty men, were fired unpon near
Long’s ferry. Capt. Stuart was wounded in
the side with and arrow, from the effects of
which he died next day. There or four of his
men besides himsalf were wounded, but notrfatal

Affairs in Onba.
The National Intelligencer of yesterday says—
We are authorized to state that the steam fugate
Saranac will be despatched forthwith from Nor
folk for Havana, with Commodore Parker, of the
Home Squadron, on board, who has been instruct
ed to inquire into all the circumstances attend
ing the capture and execution of the Americap
citizens recently shot at that place, and to ascer
tain the proofs under which they were put to
death; for having been as alleged, in an
armed expedition which invaded the Island. A
full investigation will also be had into the cir
cumstance of firing at the U. States mail steamer
Falcon by a Spanish cruiser.
At the same time that these steps are being
taken, renewed and rigid instructions will be
issued to the civil, military, and naval officers of
the Government, to take all legal steps, and
employ all the means at their command, to check
and break up any armed and illegal expeditions,
from the United States against the territories W
friendly Powers, and to sieze any vessels and ar
rest all persons who may be concerned therein;
it being the fixed determination of the Govern
ment to maintain its treaty obligations and to
enforce the laws of the land, the recent violation
of which, in the case of the expedition of the
Pampero, has led to such lamentable results.
The Saranac was waiting at Norfolk for the
purpose of conveying Gov. Letcher to Vera Cruz,
on his way to resume his diplomatic duties at
the city of Mexico; but her present mission be
ing of such pressing importance, she will depart
without him, and another conveyance will be
provided for that gentlemrn.
The Saranac will leave Nofolk either this af
ternoon or to-morrow.
The same paper has the following paragraph:
The Havana Prisoners.— We understand
that a despatch to the Department of State from
the American Cousul at Havana states, that all
the prisoners were tried (we prusume by a mil
itary tribunal) previous to their execution .J
Cincinnati, Aug. 2.3.— The Cuba new* is
causing an intense excitement here, and a strong
feeling ot indignation against the authorities of
Cuba. The papers, as well as citizens who were
opposed to the Cuban expedition, are severe in
their strictures upon the Spanish Government
for its brutal treatment of the prisoners shot, and
especially for the outrage upon the steamer Fal
con.
The New York Herald says:
We learn that the sailors of the U. S. ship
Albany, at Havana, were thrown into a state of
great excitement on learning that fifty Ameri
cans were to be shot. They waited upon Capt.
Randolph to get permission to land and prevent
the execution; they desired him to open his bat
teries upon the town; and when the guns were
heard at the execution, they wanted the flag of
the Albany struck.
The brig J. C. Anderson, Capt. Murray, arriv
ed last night from Havana, whence she sailed
on the 15th inst. Capt. Murray, states that
when he left, the greatest excitement prevailed
in Havana, in consequence of the landing of the
invaders. Capt. M. also states that the Span
iards do not hesitate to use the slightest pretext
and the basest subterfuge to harrass and annoy
Americans, both strangers and residents, in eve
ry way possible. It is with great difficulty and
delay that American shipmasters can obtain the
requiste accommodations for their vessels, &c.
As an instance of the vindicative feeling that
prevails among them in this respect, it is only
necessary to state that Captain Habersaw,
of the brig Highlander, of Philadelphia, was fined
SBO, because he had not his wife’s name on the
crew list of the vessel.
OBITUARY.
Died, at Summerhill, in Edgefield District,
South Carolina, on the 31st ult., of Congestive Fe
ver, Mr. Edward Adams, aged3syears.
'ln the prime of his manhood, he has been taken
from all the endearments of a loved and loving
family, and from numerous connexions and friends
who valued him for his integrity, sincerity and be
nevolent heart. His was the happy let of trium
phing over death through a well-grounded faith,and
of realizing the truth of the promise, that the sink
ing and death stricken soul that clings to the Sa
vidur, has nought to fear even in the valley of the
shadow of death.
Died, also at the same place,and of the same dis
ease,four children of the above named deceased:
Richard Caldwell, on the 21st ult., aged 14
months.
Edward Preston, on the Ist ult, agod 8)
years.
Tallulah, on the 4th inst., aged 3} years.
David Lawrence, on the 12th inst,, aged 6
years.
Thus, in three weeks, have five members of one
household been removed by death. A widow, a
son and a daughter, are all that remain of this once
happy family.

Jones County, Ga., Dec., 1848.
Little —Dear Sir: It is with heart-felt lati
tude that I inform you, your Anodyne Cough
Drops saved a child of mine from the graro. He
was attacked with the pnoumonia, as the doctor
who attended him a week called it, without being
ablo to arroet ft. By this time he had become pros
trate, and from tho violence of the cough and fa
vor, was expected to die constantly. In this situa
tion wo discontinued all other medicine and gave
your Cough Drops; the first does helped him much,
and after repeating it a few times tho eongh and
fever subsided, leaving him calm and tranquil for
the first time since tho attack. The medicine was
continued, and after twenty-four hours use, we con
sidered him out of danger. From this time he
improved rapidly, and soon recovered. In two
other casos in ray family it proved highly beneficial
in curing coughs and colds. I have used your Ver
mifugo with a great advantage in a number of
cases.
In future, I intend keeping asupply of your Fami
ly Medicine on hand, as well as advise my friends
to the same course.
Very respectfully yours, Ac.,

THE FIRE IN CONWAY, wim
IITE insert with pleasure, the following letter
VV from the Conway Tool Company. It shows
clearly that the faith of tho public in Rich's Sala
mander Safes has not been misplacod:— *
Conway, Mass. July 14, 1851.
MossrH. Ross, Stearns A Co., successors to C. Rich
A Co., 146 Water street, New York;—Gentlomen—
To your inquiries rospeoting the fate of the Sala
mander Safe, No. 3,381, 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 time of tho destruction of onr
manufactory by fire, on the morning of tho 27th
inst. Tho Safe was on tho lower floor of a three
story building, containing considerable quantities of
seasoned beach timber, and it was at a red heat
whon it foil into a bod of live hard wood coals, in
which it remained imbedded about throe hours,
when it was drawn out, and, as soon as practicable,
oponod. The leather bindings of the books wore
heated by the steam, and some of the loose papers
wore somowhat stained; but not a single partile of
paper in any book was injured, and not a singlo
mark on any loose paper, whether made by a pen
or pencil, is defaced. We consider the Safe in
quostion as having passed through one of the se
verest test to which it could have been put, and we
need not assure you toafc wo rejoice at its suoeess.
Wo will forward you tho burnt Safe, and in the
meantime, send us another of the same size and
pattern, for immediate use.
Yours, respectfully.
