ment in Havana.
The U. S. M. Steamship Isabel, Capt.
Rollins, called off Tybee yesterday after
noon, and delivered over to the steamer
Matemora, mails and passengers for this
city. By her we received our usual favors
from Key West and Havana, bringing down
advice, to Sunday the 25th, just one week
later than those brought by the Abbott
Devereux. The most important news by
! this arrival is the execution of Pinto, the
chief conspirator, and the disposition of
the other prisoners. There was great ex
citement in Havana in consequence, among
the Spanish and Creole population alike.—
It was feared even that, in spite of all pre
caution, an outbreak would take place. To
avoid contact with the people, the Captain
General had retired tor a time from the city.
According to the sentence of the Magis
trates of the Audiencia, Pinto was garroted
on Thursday, the 22d. Mr. George .Padel-
ford, of this city, who returned in the Isa
bel, was present and witnessed the execu

of our people who are such slow coaches
that they are yet repeating what members
of Congress from New England were in the
habit of giving us with such obstinate and
prosy intoration about ten years ago—that
is, that all this Abolition nonsense is the
“ work of a few fanatics who have too much
good sense to carry things too far, and that
ihsy have no idea of dissolving the Union.”
It is a fact, we believe ourselves, that they
have no idea of dissolving the Union, and all
because their trust, in our capacity, for the
endurance of kicks and cuffs is unbounded.
And truly we do not wonder at this great
security in which the Abolitionists are en
joying the fine 'wpqrt they are furnished
with in their plucking of Southern “ pig
eons.” For it really seems that a great
number of the patriots of the South have
adjourned all quarrel with Abolitionism till
some Yankee thief runs off with their own
negroes. We ourselves have once been very
warm upon the subject, but having sweated
off after a pretty thorough course of fire-
sating we are now enjoying all that devil-

said ho “ would not pump ” to ease the

dead man squirm. But it will not reach |
the raw through such a thick skin as Por

distorted the apathy of the leading minds
of the South—we fear we should rather say
their selfishness—and the utter recklessness
of those who intermeddle with our institu

In his letter to Mr. Marcy of tho 3d May,
Mr. Soule says: “Theslowness of Congress
to take up and act upon the recommenda

March, has emboldened it, (the Spanish
Government) to resist, nor can it be expec
ted to move, till it sees some further evidence
of our determination to enforce the consid
eration of our demands.”
And attain, in his letter of January 13,
1854, just before leaving Madrid, he says:
“Neither has their compunction been awa
kened by the schorching arguments I was
instructed to place in their hands, nor their
supineness disconcerted, by the significant
suggestions of thc President in his Message
