THUS NOJLITJHL CAJKOJLINflAK From the New York Sun. IMPORTANT. FROM CUBA. Reinforcements sent from Havana to Prin cipe Removal of Gen. Lamerg Insur rection among the troops at Malanzas Desertion among the Spanish soldiers at Principe Pronunciamentos among the towns and villages. For the following highly interesting and important news, we are indebted to Cu ban gentlemen resident in this city, whose advices from all parts of the Island of Cuba, per steamer Cherokee, at e foil aD" accurate. Connected with the -participators, and deeply interested the glorious Revolution of July 4ti, the statements which wc receive 'from them may be relied upon as correct. It may be proper here to observe, that the first announcements of the opening of hostilities, published in the Sun of the 18th inst. which we receiv ed from the same source, having been more than confirmed by the Cherokee's news, and the letters of the various corres pondents of our cotemporaries. Havana, July 17th 1851. The Pronuncimento of Principe was made on the 4th of July, ori which day the first struggle for Cuban Independence took place. A soon as the pronunciamento had been published a crowd of people assem bled in the groves of Naj.isa, - on the lietancort estate. Here they raised theii flag, and were holding consultations when they were attacked by a detachment of cavalry lancers, sent nut from the garrison of Principe by order of General Lamery. The patriots met them in. the firmest manner, and after a brief engagement, in which the Cubans used their guns, pistols and clubs to pome purpose, the Spanish troops fled, leaving' 20 killed, wounded unknown. Of the Cubans none were killed, though several wounded. iNews is constantly expecteu oi an engagement between the Royalist troops and the Cuban guerillas at the Coscora mountains, and also in several other quar ters, as all the towns and villages adjacent to Principe were publishing their pronun ciamcntos, and the peupKe were running to arms. At the town of Las Tunas, between Principe and Bayano, a large force of Cubans, between 400 and 700 in number had collected, drilling and preparing for a fiht. The garrison of Principe amounted to 2,400 men before the rising took place, but the soldiers are daily passing over to .the standard of the Cubans. A general .engagement is hourly expected. We await the next news from Principe with the utmost anxiety. I have seen a letter from a Captain in the Royalist army at Principe, to his bride in Havana, which contains the following: "I start imme diately to attack the rebels, to whose flag numbers of our infantry are daily desert- have been held a few days before w iog oUhe Uabel, but the "" fc.inS become known l the ""f F mt ttnmatlmtol V.

From the Washington Union. THE CENSUS OK 1850. The census returns should have been completed by this time, but as yet even the enumeration of inhabitants has not been officially announced. We understand from many soutces that at least four times as many persons are employed in that service now as were employed on the census of 1840; but up to the present time we have not seen that anything has been done.

To-day, a large number of troops were sent offby steam to Nuevitas. to reinforce the garrison of Principe. The Captain General has removed Gene ral Lamery from the command of Principe I have not heard for what reason. The Governor of Matanzas has just forwarded to the Captain General, an official notice, that the Regiment of Leon, at that place, was in a state of disaffection and must be immediately removed. This is an important fact, and shows how matters are turning in favor of the Cubans. Letters from Bayano state that the people at that place, and Santa Esperitu, would shoitly issue simultaneous pro- nunciamentos. In the Vuelta, Abajo, not far from Havana, the people were to issue their pronunciamento on the 17th. when they would oe joined by men Irom Havana, he regiment of Espana was stationed at Pinardel Rio, in anticipation of an out break. It is expected that within thirty days tne whole island will be in a state of open revolution. From ths Charleston Courier. L Ar E R. Arrival of the Steamer Isabel. The steam ship Isabel, Capt. Rollins. arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, at about five o'clock. She left Havana at 5 p. m. on the 22d inst.. with a full list of passengers, and a large cargo, and Key j West on the 23d. She was detained on the passage in consequence of the badness ' of the coal she had taken in at Havana, being unable to make more than nine knots per hour, and was, therefore, compelled, at about four o'clock yesterday morning to put into Savannah. Her passengers and mails were brought on to this city by the Gordon. The political intelligence from Cuba is highly interesting, but of a very contra dictory nature. We give, however, the different reports as we have heard them. We are indebted to a gentleman, who has resided for some time in Cuba, for the following items which e'ertainly coincide with the intelligence we have been receiv ing for some days past. There had been, as is not denied as far as our accounts in form us, a rising of the Creole population at arid near Puerto Principe, San Juan. &c, which had been joined by a part of the Spanish troops in the neighborhood. It is stated that the Colonel of a regiment stationed near Principe had informed the authorities at Havanna that he had but a fragment of his regiment left. The regi ment of Leon, stationed at or near Matan zas had become so insubordinate that the officers had advised the Government that VlISZ?1 !?!bc dePen,Ied on, and the Regiment had to be removed to some other E! eauthore: dsT. "V4-" coJnicationB twin 1191.. , inn mil Isabel, to watch the movements friends of Cuba in this country. Other gentlemen inform us that Colonel Conde, of the Regiment of Puerto Princi pe, was, together with nine officers and thirty soldiers, taken prisoner a few days since; and that in crossing a river on a raft some three hundred soldiers were drowned, the raft having capsized. It is stated, likewise, that, at the present mo ment there are about a thousand citizens in the woods, under the command of four American officers, who are ready to sus tain the Provisional Government, already reinstated at Tunas, in th Eastern De partment of the Islai.d, adjacent to the Central Department in which is Puerto Principe. It is likewise, according to our informants, expected that in the course of a few days say ten, a revolution will break out' in Havana, for which purpose it is said the disaffected have already one regiment engaged toco operate with them, and that another will come over to them on its commander being paid 300 doub loons, equivalent to about $5100 of our currency, he having pledged his word, as a military officer to that effect. We have moreover, been informed by a sentleman whose sources of information relative to Cuban affairs are generally most reliable, that many of the towns in Cubi are in arms the present foree amounting in about five thousand effective men that a provisional Government is about to be organize-!, and tha't the Queen's troops have suffered a severe loss. On the other hand we are told by other parties, whose information is generally unquestionable, that the insurrection at Principe is an affair that has created no alarm in the Island of Cuba, and that what they term the exaggerated reports in the journals of the day, have their origin in Havana, for the sole object of creating an excitement in the United States. They assert also that a Senor Joaquin Aguero had been taken prisoner with a number of his followers, and that the rest of the party had offered to give themselves up to the Government if they were assured of pardon. The same gentlemen represent that Havana and all parts of the Island are tranquil as usual; and that all that is unsatisfactory at present is the prevalence of Cholera and Yellow Fever to some extent. Ourroboratorv n some measure of the r- .t - - -tr i-t. . r accuracv ol mis version is a uispaicn, oi which the following is a translation, which was received Irom Principe on ine aanu inst., by. the authorities. It bears date the 16th inst. The party under the command of Joaquin Aguero had been met by the troops under the command of the Govenor of the Eastern Province, and dispersed, leaving five men dead on the field the troops having seized also various horses, arms, &c. Manv of the insurgents had presented themselves to the authorities, and nearly all the others were willing to surrender upon assurance of pardon. The foreging is all the information we have been able to obtain on the subject, and we leave it to the' intelligence of our readers to discover what is actually the real state of the case. For our own part, we are inclined to imagine that where there is so much smoke, there must necessarily be some fire, but as to the extent of it we confess we at e unable to form an opinion. Sumterville, July 23. Unfortunate Occurrence We regret to state that about 10 o'clock, on yesterday morning, the 23d inst., the residence of James II. Button, esq. situated in the suburbs of our town, was entirely destroy ed by fire. The fire was first discovered in one of the chambers, the bed and some hangiHgs being in flame;; some matches were seen scattered over the floor, and there being at the time no one in the house but a small negro boy, ii is supposed that, ii igniting matches for sport, he carelessly communicated the flames to the bed. Very little of value was saved of the furni ture. Banner. I government, while his salary is paid as if he were now in vvasuingiou aucuumg i his duties. There is no legal authority for such a proceeding; on the' contrary, the proceeding is directly opposed to and in defiance.of law. The administration, has endeavored to give an excuse for authorizing the absence of Mr Kennedy for pajfo. the expenses of his European tour wrle paying his salary during his absence. The excuse amounts to this: Mr Kennedy was not thus furnished the means ol the government to enjoy himself at the Worlds air; but he was sent abroad to ascertain how. Euro pean nations arranged their census and statistical tables. This is the sum and substance of the article of the National Intelligencer. Is this excuse tenable? Certainly not. What right had Mr Stuart to give him such a mission? Who authoriz ed Mr Stuart to send agents to England, or to any other part of Europe? Is there any law" authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to use the public money for any such purpose? We say there is not, and that any such use of it "is illegal and un lawful, as much so as if it had been taken for private uses. There is a secret-service fund at the command of the President, which can be expended for matters apper taining to the State Department, for the expenditure of which no account can properly be required even by Congress. But stilt any wrongful use of any part of the fund would be a breach of trust, and fraudulent. The Interior Department cannot expend a dollar for any purpose not mentioned in the clauses of the appro priation bill making provision lor the ex penditures of that department. The ap propriation bill provides for the. payment of Mr Kennedy's salary; and it is the du ty of Mr Stuart to see that Mr Kennedy discharges the duties of the office for which that salary is paid. But there is no law which authorizes the payment of Mr Kennedy's salary when he voluntarily leaves and neglects the duties of his office. If we have not been misinformed, the pay ment of Mr Kennedy's salary has been refused since his departure by accounting officers; and men in authority, disregard ing law, have ordered disbursing officers to pay it. Is sucli a course honest or dis honest? Is it fraudulent or rightful? It requires no great auimy io answer mese questions. Several months have elapsed since par tial returns ot the census were published unofficially, with many whig commenda tions on the accuracy and beautiful system of the census returns; but we have, ascer tained that almost as soon as Mr Kennedy readied Europe he countermanded his own system, and ordered a new : arrangement, which cannot be accomplished in two years, and that the country need not ex pect to receive the census returns for that length of time say July 1853. If Mr Kennedy continues his illegal and unau thorized voyage, he may find new systems in every geographical division of Europe; and no one but a prophet can foretell whether the census returns of 1850 will ever be submitted, for no- one can foretell when Mr Kennedy will return from his European tour his travelling expenses being paid, and his salary being paid by express order, and his multitudinous clerks being' pad also. Within a month after the late census of Great Britain was taken, the enumeration ot inhabitants was officially announced. The official announcement reached us ten d ays ago. Yet our census, taken of June, 1850, is not officially known in Washing ton, even as to the enumeration of inhabitants. SINGULAR ELECTRICAL PHENOMENON AT NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS. The New Bedford Mercury publ'uhes a communication from a gentleman of that city giving an account of a singular elec trical phenomenon which occurred at his residence on the evening of the 5th instant. He was seated in his library reading, when his wife came in and seate'd herself in a rocking chair at the other end of the table. Finding' the solar lamp a little too far from hir- she drew the chair over the carpet towards the table; partially raising herself in the chair, but not entirely out of it. The instant the chair moved an explosion took place, exceedingly sharp and as loud as a Chinese cracker. He was somewhat alarmed by it, and the alarm was increas ed by an exclamation from his wife that she was hurt in the hand. The first thought was that someone had thrown a cracker through the window; but the win dow was closed. Upon, taking his eyes from the book, a luminous body, .bout the size and nearly the shape of the flame of a candle was seen floating in the air, and moving towards the opposite side of the room, it had nearly reached the partition when first seen, and when it had reached the wall it appeared to .ink down behind the sofa; where it disappeared. The color of 'the body was a bluish white. It was seen with great distinctness, so that its shape and color were actually determined The room was filled with a pungent odor, whose character conveyed the impression that both woolen cloth and sulphur were burning. It was the strongest at the spot behind the sofa where the meteor expired. Upon removing the sofa, two or three minutes after the explosion, the smell was so strong as to be highly offensive. It was as powerful as that whichaccompanies the ignition of a match. It was thought that the carpet was on fire. The hand of Mrs C. was found to'have been burned near the knuckle of the forefinger. The spot was about as large ai a dime, and for a. while was exceedingly painful. It was much discolored and swollen. It remains a dark purple, and painful to touch. It was thought possible that some explosive arti cle or material might have been introduced intojhe room. Every part of the room was carefully examined, but nothing was found to give any plausibility to such a supposition. When it was over, nothing was to be seen but the dark spot upon the wounded hand. The writer finds it diffi cult to disconnect this incident from the extraordinary, if not fto us) unprecedent ed, tempest of Thursday ninht and Friday morning. He cannot connect them by any chain of scientific reasoning, but may be allowed to remark that it would not be strange, after such a wonderful exhibition of the potency and activity of the electric lorces, it we should observe some unusual minor manifestations of the same extraor dinary power. Has it not been mention ed that in certain houses in New York the carpets became, at times, so charged with electricity that they communicate shocks to persons passing over them. be- since h.v. to Bo through th, 0"nn,C"?" rm.o by n,e official .

Bacon Hams, for sale By H. BRANSON & SON. August 2, 1S51 A Midsummer's evening There was an influence upou me that 1 felt, but could not understand, a cJoud gathering over my spirits, a darkening of the light within inc. I laid my book aside, threw myself back on my seat, and resigned my fancy to the course of musing idleness. It was a delicious midsummer's evening, the atmosphere was an ocean of glory, the sky one blue firmament, the river lying out and glittering in his sinuous length, like a snake basking in the sun; and all things as still as though nature in the ful ness ot her joy had suppressed her breath ings, content to commune with her Creator in mystic quietism. This is a scene that in society makes the heart glad, ami in solitude disposes it to sadness. In both cases it is full, full to overflow, with its feelings, but when we are with a friend, those feelings are thrown oft as they arise, by the interchange of thoughts, words, and sympathies; where as, it we be alone, they have no issue but in devotion; lacking that, they fall back upon their fountain, and gradually deepen into uarKiiess; then there is no other re lief but only by the effusion of tears. Of If formation. A PASSAGE FROM THE LIFE OF HAMAN. Meantime Haman provided a gallows of fifty cubits high to hang Mordecai on Fie cubits would have served the turn: and had it took effect, the height of the gallows had but set his soul so much the farther on his journey towards heaven. His stomach was so sharp set, he could not rest till he had dined on all the Jews, but first he must break his fast on Mordecai; and fit it was this bell whether should be sacrificed before the rest of the flock; wherefore he comes to the court to get leave to put him to death. Thomas Fuller. WONDERFUL CUttE. Mr George Uendleman has iust related to us a wonderful cure performed on one of his negro boys on yesterday, by a man named Sinione, of Cabarrus count v. Tho case as related is this : -The bov ha. I tooth drawn on Tuesday morning." and his gums bled as usual for some time after wards. In the course of the day the bleeding increased, and flowed so copi ously that fears were entertained of the boy's bleeding to death. His master was sent for, and being in Concord at the time the messenger went there. In that village he inet with Mr Sinione. to whom he com municated the rather unusual case. That gentleman, without hesitation, assured the messenger that he could cure the boy without the trouble of going to see him. He .nly required to know the name of the boy. the name of his master, &c.. and would proceed wiili his remedy. These were furnished him. on the spot. He then with a few words, (not heard or un derstood by any one presents and a fr jesticulations, turned to Mr Melton. Hip messenger, and informed him the boy was welll It was then four o'clock; and on returning, Mr Rendleman states, it was found that the bleeding ceased just about the time Mr Simnne "used for ill" ,ya. isbury IFatchman. A Word Fitly Spoken A stranger who .was itinerating as a teacher, called on my father, and requested permission to examine some of the boys. I wa9 amon the number. My father by way of reliev? ing the feeling of the man, said "That by is very slow at learning; I fear you will not be able to do much with him,v My heart sank, I would have given the world to have been as some of the boys around me. The man spoke with kind ness gave me some directions, and, laying his hand upon my head, observed This lad will make a good scholar yet." I felt his kindness; it raised my spirit the pos sibility of being able to learn was, in this moment, and for the first time, impressed upon my mind; a ray of hope sprano up within me; in that hope I lived and labor ed; it seemed to create power; my lessons were all committed to memory with ease, and I could have doubled the effort, had it been required. From this period Adam never looked back, and never paused. The same quickness of perception and tenacity of memory, discoverable from the first dawning of intelligence as applied to other things, now accompanied his pur suit of learning; he was no longer like the animal tampering round the same spot, in consequence of the chain by which it is bouud; he became like the racer; there was progress in every movement; he sped over the course with prodigious swiftness and he felt the pleasure of it himself.

HENRY, In the Convention of Delegates of Virginia, March 23, 1775. - Mr President, It is natural for man to indulge in the illusion of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great & arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, twtwi hnvinir PVPS. see not. and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my f ' !i . ...... part, whatever anguisn oi spun n 't cost, I am willing to know the whole truth to know the worst, and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of expe rience. 1 know of no way of judging of the future, but by the past. And, juag- ing by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the BritUh ministry, for the last ten years, to justify those hopes, with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house? It is that insidious smile, with which our petition has been lately receiv ed? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss- Ask yourselves how tlus gracious reception of our petition, com ports with those warlike preparations, which cover our waters, and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves. These are the implements of war and subjugation the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britan any enemy in this quar ter ot the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They' are meant for us: they Can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains, which the Biitisli ministry have been so lonj forginjt- And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we trv argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we any thing new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we reort to entreaty and humble supplica tion? What terms shall we find, which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, 1 beseech you, deceive our selves longer. Sir, we have done every thing that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated our selves before the throne, and have implor ed its interposition to arrest the tyranni cal hands of the ministry and parliament. IJur petitions have been slighted; our re monstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded ; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these 'hings, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and recon ciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wih to be free; if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestima ble, privileges, for which we have been so long contending; if we mean rot baselv to abandon the noble struggle, in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to aban don, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must figln I An appeal to arms, and to the God of hosts, is all that is lefi us They tell us, sir, that we are weak unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stron ger? W ill it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inac tion? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make a pro per use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not hght our battles alone. There is a just God, who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise op friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat, but in submission and sla very! Our chains are forged.
