" Owen,' American; Consul at H.rana,-t ill relation t-yss -eatinent or the forty':Aericins , w he were . exeo ted at Havava ML.te 16th cf A uenst list. - 'Thatfcoa- '6e4"irrvThe-dte of-his' letter is one month aXter theexecution "of the - forty" Americans, ,to save whom, he made no effort ; so that he has had ample time to prepare his defence. And what does this defence arrWrunt to? Why that Mr 0k8 was .tardy in arriving on the morning of theflSth of August at.tlve post where bis du ties called him; and that after arriving there he' made tio effort to save tbe lives of those unfortu nate ven,who had fallen into, the hands of the Spanish authorities, because he thought lie would not have time to ett'ect anything. Thiai is a most lameand pitiful plea. As the representative of a great nation, nay as a man having those feel- ingss common to humanity, it was li is duty to make an effort in behalf of those unfortunte cap tives."5 , In another part of our paper, we present the circular letter of Mr J. S. Thrasher, formerly the Editor of the Faro Industrial at Havana, and also the cards of certain of the prisoners. In what a light do these communications place Mr O.wen before the public! What a contrast is presented between his conduct and that of Mr Crawford, the British Consul, and his secretary Mr Smith ! Mr Owen visits the prisoners once, and then up to the time when the card in relation to his treatment of them is published, steadily refuses to visit them, either in his private or official capacity. He tells them that "the Presi dent had proclaimed them Without the pale of the law, and he could do nothing for them." Mr Smith, the Secretary of the British. Consulate, on the other hand, acting from th; generous im pulses of his nature, visited the prisoners twice daily, administered to their comfojrtfnd by his efforts in their behalf greatly impm'vyd- their condition. How humiliating to every true American must be'lhe contrast between the cod- duct;of Mr Owen and that of the British Official! But it was nolTto be expected that a man who would ouietlv and. without making the slightest ir- n iwk Kah.lf. refer fyrtjioX .bis country men to be put to an ignominious death, would put hirnelf to much trouble to meliorate the condition of the survivors. It remains yet to be seen what disjiosition Mr Fillmore will make of this most unworthy public servant. From the "Washington Republic. CONSULATE OF THE U- STATES. Havana, Sept. 16, 1851. To the Editor of the Republic: Sir: In jour Weekly issue of tlie 28tli ult. you ilu me tlie justice to object to my condemnation wmmut a liearinjr, and to say that I am probably able to explain to the . satisfaction of rny countrymen, my omission to act relative to the execution of the prisoners who were shot on the iGtli ult. 1 do not doubt that 1 shall satisfy every impartial mind that I am undeserving censure, and that I had no opportunity of floing anything in behalf of the unfortunate men who met so sad a fate. I reside about four miles from this place, and not being well on the morning of the 18th, did not reach my office till some time after ten n't lock, where for the first time. 1 heard of the capture of about fifty ol the men. who had come with Lopez to this island in the steamer Pampero. I at the same time heard that the prisoners had been tried, found guilty, condemned, or dered to be executed, tlie order for their execution sent forward, and they were about being removed from the harbor. where they were, to the place of execu tion. Shortly afterwards, the American resid ing here, who, it is said, called on me, came and mentioned the subject to me. when I said to him that it was too late. and that I could do nothing that 1 should not have the time to get permission and see the prisoners, ui uns i leit periectiy satisfied at the time, and 1 have since been confirmed in this opinion by the highest authority in the island, who informed me that the execution, which had already been ordered before I reached the. city. would not hare been postponed for me to have an interview with the prisoners, inas much as all 1 could hare asked to be per mitted to do had been dune by a gentleman known to some of the prisoners, and for whom they had sent. Soon alter the American referred to, left in y, office, I received the information that a gentleman known to some of the prisoners had been sent for by them, ami to him they had delivered the articles and messages they desired to be conveyed to their friends. It was but a short time af terwards that I sent to the palace of -.the governor and captain general, and heard that the prisoners had been executed. YTou will thus see that I had no time to tht it was not in my power to d anvthino" for the unfortunate men who had ex- hien induced to invade cuoa wui me pectation that they would find the whole Island in a state of revolution, aud that hole thej tul be received with open rmt'bjF , the nhide native population, at tent.

JoarnaK THE WHIG PARTY DEAD ABOLITIONIZKI), Once in a while a Whig editor is brought to aj., knowledge of the truth,, and, what is quite as desirable, to a frank and. manly confession.',,: Such is the. following from the Chambers Tribune, an Alabama paper edited by Johnson Hooper, who is sfilf remembered. in these capes We commend it to the wbigs as a gtm of frankness, such as they . seldom or never meet) with in their party organs in this region: The whig party at Ihe South, as a party, is as uead as a mackerel.- By the Presidential election, it 'will be difficult to find individual specimens of that species of the great family of politicians. The reason of this extinction is obvious. The general rule off" Whig alfifni- ty, iNortn, is uboiitionwara. j lie excep tions are barely sufficient .to establish the rule. We do not know why this is sot but it is as apparent as the face of the hea vens. Southern men, therefore, cannot longer act with tlie national Whiz party. We in the South never had any immediate interest in tne esiaoiisnment oi the pro tective system : but acting in good faith to our Northern allies, the Sotxhern Whig party tied itself to an unpopular issue and fell with it. The return which we have received for this is a general alliance of Northern" Whiggery with Abolitionism, or much the same thing, Free-solism. Tlie Northern Democracy, as a general rule, are sound on the slavery question. It must be confessed that the. Democratic rule of constitutional construction favor the south, and although this is a bitter concession to our Whig pride, truth. candor, manliness, all compel its utte- TVttvce:-" ---' : .. . . . The result nf this condition of public sentiment, north and south, will be appa rent before the next presidential election. The Union Whig of several of the sou thern States are making ready to enlist for" the support of the national Democratic nomination next year. If Dickinson, Buchanan or Woodbury, get the nomina tion, there is no doubt of this amalgama tion; for it is a general sentiment among Union men of all affinities that the disur lonists can only be respectably routed by the old Democracy. The old Jackson guard are the men to be relied on mainly to accomplish the work."' Tr.inunLK Rail Road Accident A terrible Rail Road accident occurred near hveritt's funnel, on tlie Haiti more Ohio Kail Road, on Thursday last. The Cumberland Civilian eives S- 1 1 " and the following: As the iron train was passing around Savage Mountain, about 50 yards from Kveritt's Tunnel, the flange of the wheel of the foremost car, with 3 tons of railroad iron, was immediately precipated over the embankment, making several complete somersets and falling a distance of GO feet- Unfortunately about 15 persons were on the car at the time, mostly natives of Ireland, proceeding to different points of the road west. Three men were killed outright, another had his skull dreadfully fractured and is not expected to survive, another had a leg broken, and another had his collar bone broken." A woman, with an infant in her arms, was on the car when it went over the I precipice and strange to tell, the infant scaped without the slightest bruise, and the only injury sustained by " the mother was the loss of a part of one of her fingers.' The Grayson Mirdki i. A citizen of Grayson county, Va., has informed us that all the negroes concerned in the re cent murders in that county have been arrested, and that their statements con firm the suspicion that the abolitionist preacher, Bacon, personally instigated them to run away telling them that they would be met by some of his people." Iiicon had been waited upon and warned to leave within tiventy-four hours, which warning he attended to forthwith. Our informant says that if caught - there again he will doubtless be hung, f f he or any of his coadjutors are caught in Grayson or south of there, they will meet the fate they seem to court at tlie nanus ot an out raged community.
