Such treachery can only be compared to that of Lorcz, w ho deserted the misguided dupes who followed him, in the hour of their greatest danger. Such telfeknea can only be compared to t'ist of the marine r, who, io the mWst of the storm, bestows more thought upon saving himself snd the cargo than the lives of those aboard.

With reference to the doctrine of Secession, wc could show, that it has at one time claimed it as a Con ttitutitmal, and at another as a reserved right that lost Winter, when the question was first openly broached, in "Our midst, it defended the celebrated Minority Report, w hich, if it had any meaning in it, contended for the right to secede as a Consti tutional remedy ; that it endorsed, the views of Mr. ATery wbo so advocated it, according to hi own admission but that since the fate it expe rienced, at the hands of the Legislature, it has only claimed Secession as a "rervaf right a right never surrendered to the General Govern ment. With reference to its being "arrayed with Cheves and Rhett, ot South Carolina," we might show that that paper has repeatedly expressed its warmest sympathies for Sou.tb Carolina, and that it has more than once declared that the "cause of South Carolina i? the cause of the South," and that "the blow intended to strike her dawn" will not be permitted to "fall upon her head slone." So far for its Rhettish affinities. As w e under stand the position of M.r. Cheves, he is opposed to tepafaie State acthn, but iu favoi of the unied secession of the Soutliern States a more fatal and insidious posr.ton than the other. Mr. Yen. able says that he agrees with Mr. Cheves, and the -Standard" worships Mr. Venable with slavish political idolatry ! I?; We say that we coiW show these things, now but we have no disposition to interfere in the family feud just now waging between the major and minor organs. At a proper time, we will show what we hsve said to be true. So long as the record remains, (and years will not blot it outO the uStandard,n and its co-laborers in the cause of Secession and Disunion, ran not escape the odium which sttaches to the constant and desperate efforts thy have made to lead North Carolina out of this glorious Union of States, ar.d to break up the noblest form of human Govern ment upon which the Sun ever shone ! pHiLaKTHBOFT tested. Free Negroes at tfte Xofth- Many of the Fseo States have recently inserted clauses in their Constitutions prohibiting free Negroes from coming within their respective borders, and in one State, Indiana, we perceive that this proposed change in the Constitution of that State was adopted by a vote of nearly one hundred thousand, Is it net strsnge that the whole Union should be disturbed by agitstion concerning a law for the reclamation of fugitive negroes that run away into the non-slave holding Sta ea, when there is not one of those non -slave holding States, it seems, that would not be glad to be free from the pre seneeofa negro wilbin its borders!

THE INSULT TO THE FALCON. The -Republlb aiitea that no rejiort has been msde to the Navy department of the alleged out rage on the American Flagommitted in the case of the Falcon, by a Spanish War Steamer. The Falcon is a Steamahip owned by M. O. Roberts, nd others, snd although Vcr commander is sn of ficer of the Navy, and although she carries the U. S. Mail, she is strictly a merchant vessel, and the report of Lieut Rodgers was properly made to her owner. The same paper also states that upon the Amer can Consul at Havana calling on the Captain General of Cuba, and complaining to him of the occurrence, the latter expressed his regret, and ail it should not occur sgain; that it had now probably taken place in consequence of the Span ish vessel's having a new commander, who had recently come to Havana and did not know the Falcon. We cannot doubt that the Spanish authorities will give the most aattsfactory explanations of this transaction. EUROPEAN NEWS. The steamship Atlantic arrived at New York on Monday, bringing nearly two hundred passen gers, snd Liverpool dates to the 20th ult Cotton, since the sailing of the Asia, had been very active at full rates. Middling qualities had advanced one eighth o! a penny. Breadstuffs were much depressed. There is noihtng from England of importance. The Grest Exhibition will elose on the 11th of October. The Roval Commission will receive the reports on the 15th of October, and the goods will be returned immediately afterward. The dis tribution of madals is to be awarded to juries, foreign commissioners, &c. The first accounts of the Cuban difficulties were received at Madrid on the 13th ultimo, and were represented, ss very trifling and. as speedily suppressed. There is no political news from France, with the exception that a Inrgo majority of the Councils favor a revision of the Constitution. CUBAN AFFAIRS, The Despatch in another column, taken from the "Baltimore Suu," purporting to give intelli gence from Cuba to the 23rd , is entirely contra dieted, it w ill be seen, by the later Official des patch copied from the "National Intelligencer" the news through the latter being two days later. We perceive that the President has felt it his imperative duty to remove tho Collector of the Port of New Orleans, by w hoso negligence the Pampero was permitted to depart without clear ance or papers a "fatal act of omission, which has invoked so many misguided but gallant men in destruction, and clad so many American fami lies in mourning." LITERARY NOTICES Tsavxls in the United States, kc-, during 1849 W1850 By the Iady Etnmtline Stuart Wort I'.g. For sale at Turner' s. The avidity with which we seize upon all the accounts w ritten of America by Foreign travellers and the indignation we manifest when these sre unfavorable, has often exposed us to the ridicule of our transatlantic brethren. With the exception of Mian Martineau's "Western World,' w e do not remember before to have met wjth any account of our country by an English lady. True, we read Mrs. Trollope with mueh amusement but was she s lady ! That she was a female we have sometimes heard disputed. Lady Emmeline Wortley brought w ith her the most unbounded flow of good humor, and, as she herself writes, "a determination not to be preju diced." She sees every thing through the rosy hue of her own happy temper, and where slie meets with inconveniences only laughsat them, re garding as delightful, w hat to others is merely tolerable. She has not a particle of tbe John Bull spirit about her, w hich compares onr infant coun try, with its fine democratic institution?, to his own highly polished, aristocratic land. The Lady Emmeline is a world travelled woman, and has some other standard of comparison than England. The travels in the United States occupy but a small part of the volume; the remainder is filled with gorgeous accounts of Mexico and Lima. This is not the least interesting part, although one is at a loss, from the very exaggerated style, to kaow exactly how much is the literal tiuth. To speak of hats with brims so broad that four horses could be driven over them, and an urchin "six years old with s mile of Jerape wrapped around him," is to say the least in bad taste, No one need read Lady Em me line's book for bare facts. It is a series of letters written in a careless famil iar style, giving highly entertaining and amusing impressions made upon a happy, enthusiastic and briluant mind. There is nothing that comes so far below the truth (as far as our knowledge ex tends,) as her description of the Mammoth Cave, Lady Emmeline, joyous and sparkling as she was, loved sunlight snd the glorious old trees and the bright hued flowers too well to enjoy or ap preciate that wondrous cavern, fit habitation of giants and. gnomes of mythic ages. She dwells in rapture on the silvery mist that floats over Niagara, aud describes in glowing language the bril liancy of American autumnal coloring; in the deepflowing Father of waters she finds grandeur and beauty, but none in this gigantic work of na ture. Her soul seems not stern enough to com prehend the wildness snd solemn magnificence of these subterranean chambers. Numerous criiiques and notices of Lady Emme line's book have appeared, and we have been amused to see how readily our eritics have swal lowed all the flattering compliments paid to the United States, but begin to doubt and find fault when they found Mexico excite as much or even more admiration. We will close with a few ex tracts to give the reader some idea of this enter taining book. MR. PRESCOTT. I was delighted to hsve an opportunity ol making acquaintance wiih this justly celebrated historian, whose works I hsd read with such lively interest. Even by tbe side of his handsome (and by the way, very English-looking) daughter, he still looks quite a young man. He is one of tbe most agreeable peo ple 1 ever met with; there is not a particleof pompos ity about him, aod his style of conversation is of the most fresh, original and striking kind ; and with all his stpree of learning and varied knowledge, there is the roost oomplete absence possib e of anything ap proaching to pedantry. is eyesight is pnfortuuate ly defective, but no one would observe this in so- ae7- . .. . - . t Hc SDDesrea rstner aoseai. a boot uu t.ci ua bad takeu lesvs and left tbe room wltp jus aaugiitar;to Nc york to-morrow to issue a call for the t ii hoard a knock at tbe door, and on ssying come in Mr. Prescott appeared again and sajd at bp bad left his cane there.

I was as, every body must be, I should think, very much struck by his magnificent countenance that prodigiously massive brow, those mighty eyes, that seem ss if they were calmly look ing down tbe xleptbs of age, and that grand Sir of rrjjotr wmch esptreially appeared to nie to charac terize his aspect) have a sort of quiet mount avnuits grandeur about them, that makes one thmk that id Homer, had he not been blind, might so have looked, or tbe awful son of C.-elus an t Terra 1 Mis features have more I think, of the Oriental than the Occidental cast ; but you seldom see so much intellect in an eas tern countenance. It is, indeed, a very un-American face, for their features are ordioarily rather sharp aud delicate. Mr. Webster was good enough to drive me out yesterday and a most splendid drive we had. At one part, from a rather high eminence, w had a glo rious panoramic view ; it was really sublime ; ocean, forest, lull, valley, promontory, river, glade and hol low were spread out before us ; altogether ihey form ed a truly magnificent prospect. One almost seum ed to be looking iu to bouudless space. We paused at this spot a little while to admire the beautiful scene. How meet a companion tbe giant Atlantic seemed for tint mighty mind, so some ef whose noble sentiments I had just been listening with de ight and veneration aud yet bow far above the widest sweep of ocean is the eadless expanse of the immortal intellect Urns overcoming creation compelling. However, while I was thus up in (lie clouds, they (eondescendiug y determiuing, I suppose, to return my call) suddenly came down upon ua. and unmerciful ly. St. Switbm ! what a ran it was I The Atlantic is a beautiful object to look at, but when lie, or some cousin gerronn above, tflkes it into bis head to act the part of a shower-bath extraordinarv to you it is not so pleasant So does Lady Emmeline chatter away merrily, in one breath, about great men and groat drenching rains the glorious Atlantic and bis cousin's storm clouds. Every object affords her topics for brilliant letters to her English friends the institutions of the countries the soil itself the forests the mountains the ri vers the Yankej boys and southern matrons the dark eyes of the Mexican and South American ladies their graceful man; ilia the heavy spurs of the caballeros and their caracoling steeds even the don keys of Lima and the reptiles of Mexico receive a word from hor g'iding pen. Thus she speaks of the fire flics in Panama. " A magnificent fire beetle was caught in the Sa!n lost night; the illumination it cast was splendid. It phone with amazui bruzhtntss throuiHi a cambric handkerchief that whs used as a temporary pri-on for it ; one might almost have been afruid that it would commit arson umntenti'mally , and bum its irnnpa- rent dungeon. Its incarcerat ion did not seem to diminish its glorious lustre at all. I was afraid it would be hurl, but it literally made ligltt of every thing. Miss afterwords Iwld it to her ear. and it is impossible to express the effect this living beanteons ornament, this animated diamond produced; it would h ve made jewels of the first water look dull and dim near it. It cast a spleadid glit'ering glow on Miss P.'s beautiful dark hair and delicate cheek; it was re ally exquisite It afterwards flew up t-i the loftiest part of the immen-ely hU;h roof, and settled there. It flung a lovely, fairy light over the rafters, and seemed like a star tht was shining through the roof. So many tempting words are written of the delight ful tropical product ons, bananas, idantains.figs, pome granates, cherimoyas and agnacates, &c,that we of ten wish ourself transported to that burning clime, that the delicious fruits might melt on our lips. Of the fruits in South America, she writes of odc we do not remember to liave seen mentioned before ; . ,: It was an extraordinary species of apple, called the frozen apple. On cutting uin half, the core, and a circular portion of tbe fruit around it are like a lump of ice ; this is to be found, wc an told, in a particular kind of apple, but yet not all the fruits of this sepa rata species are possessed of this peculiarity." Lady Emmnli:ie's description ul tUc cities of Mex J ieo and Lima are graphically given and we would 1 ike to extract them as well as many other interesting chapters from this volume, but we refer all to the book itself ami promise a romuneration for the trouble of reading, iu its sparkling jges. From (he New Orleans True Delia. WILLIAM S. CRITTENDEN. In the midst of the lamentations of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, for the death of ther dearly bel ved, by the Havana butchery, we onve ; abstained from the obtrusion of cur humble grief into the presence of the attgus sorrows of those who have to mourn the loss of their own blood, I but we can no longer defer a poor tribute to the j memory of a bosom friend. That friend was Willi.im S Crittenden. Long ! and well did we know him. We knew him first j i.ithe Mexican war, and in many a bivouac shared ! his blanket, ICduca ed at West Point, he gtadua- ! ted with honor. At the opening of that War, he ' occupied the position of Adjutant of the First In j lantry, and for several mouths diicharged the! highly responsible duties oi Post Adjutant at Ver j Cruz with merited honor. He was the son of a i brother of the distinguised pen letnan wbo now fills the office of Attoney General of the United ! States. His Vather emigrated to Arkansas, when! that State was in its mtar.cy, sn tdied in early life, filling a community with universal re ret for the loss of a man as highly endowed with tde loftiest virtues as he was gifted with the rarest genius, Will Crittenden, ns he was familiarly named by his f riends, was worthy of the stock whence he spniig. A nohler specimen of the Kentucky gentleman, a worthier servant or ciiizen of the Republic we have ever met. A lion heart, a love of truth, oi honor and of liberty were his. An accomplished soldier, a votary of letters, he was as gentle as he was brave. At the close of the Mexican war he resigned his military office and became a citizen of New Orleans, where he resided until be embarked with Lopez. Our blood has boiled to hear the base inuenJos oftheagued lip loyers of Cuban freedom against him, s well as his companiaiu, for permuting themselves to be captured. The aying missives of his compatriots reveal the causes that compel led his heroic soul to yield, if evrr a man fell a victim to atrocious deception it was he, A few days before he left we met. him, aod a iah that we would accompany him was expressed. We earnestly advised him against embarking in the enterprise, we spoke our incredulity of the reports thai the Cubans had risen. He answered that he was no freebooter; that he could not be induced to join the expedition were not the people of Cuba in arms against their rulers. That a revolution had actually commenced; that the Cubans were in the field, he assured us he knew from the state ments of parties, who had given turn their confi dence. Against this faith we had nothing but our incredulity to present, and we parted never to meet again. We hove felt it a solemn duty to slate this to dispel an impression that he, from his position in the expedition, was a party to the cru. l artifices practised by the unseen heads of the scheme. . . He is gone. A noble citizens is lost to the Re public. In the excited state of public feejing, at present, we will not enlarge upon the cold blooded and selfish policy of those who enlisted hissym pathies by their deliberate falsehoods. Peace to your manes and honor to your memory, Will Crittenden! Democratic National Convention. New Yoaa, August 27. We have private dis patches from Charleston, dated to-day, which state that Mr. C.

A barrel, having bath ends out, was placed upon blocks about eighteen inches above the pavement, and filled wi.h combustibles, shav ings, turpentine, &ic , and a fire set underneath. The machine (one of the small churn sized ones) hav.ng been charged, was then by a single tap set to making tbe gas, a piocess so rapid that in less i b in twenty seconds it begin to issue in a jt or stream of v.por or white smoke Irom a nose or apenure in the top. The combustibles and barrel Were now all in a blaze, and gave forth intense hear, but the moment that the jet of g is was direc ted t the fire, it stopped, smouldered family a moment, and in less than one minute was extin guished and dead. It was wonderful, and all pre sent vyere deliglited with the success oi the experi innt. I have not a doubt of the practical useful ness of this machine for extinguishing such a fire as ordiqarily calls out several lire companies, and there is not a doubt but that it must either do away wnh fire insurance altogether in the course of a lew years, or lower the tales of premium very maierial!y. The gas which is such an effectual damper up on Ere is Iliads of simple and cheap materials. It is of the same niture as that which is found in old wells, sewers, and vaults, from which, by acci dent or design, tiie air has long been excluded Occasionally a receptacle of this kind is opened, and for a tune any attempt to illuminate it by a lamp or flantbeau proves futile, as it extinguishes the tlaiue instantaneously. This test is frequently used by intelligent laborers before they will at tempt to descend inio a place likely to have be come ihu-, deprived of the proper atmosphere. Many deaths have occurred, however, iimonj laborer.-, Irom ignorance cf this phenomenon, the iiif plir.ic gas destroying life wiiea pent within a place where it is generated. This gas, as used in the fire extinguisher, is Convened into one of the greatest b cssiugs, and, it is said, does not affect the atmosphere at a fire so materially as to injure the lungs. 1 have been subject to bronchUis myself, and .thjs may have rendered me more sensitive yesterday when this experiment with the machine was made, but it certainly affected my lungs, though slightly. I am uot aware that ihere are more than four of these machines in tfiis country, and these weie imported by Edwards, Sanlbrd & Co.'s European Express to order. They are made of sheet iron, and sre about Uie6izeol ihe ordinary copper soda fountains. Our custom-house charged such un reasonable duties on these that they cannot be sold here for less than from $50 to $75. I have been informed that a paient has been taken tor the sale in this country b. Mr. Uarnuni at a cost of $30, 000. A plan of another capital invention was shown to me by AI r. Edwards, (ol the same house,) ho is himself an Englishman It was the arti ficial manufacture of ice, by which, with a simple contrivance, not larger thau a small refrigerator," an individual in the tropirs, or any oiher habitable region, can freeze a gallop ol tva ter to a solid block of ice in ihe space ot one minute ! This will be a great thing for the plauters. PRESIDENTIAL TICKET, The Alabama Argus, published at Demopolis in this Mate, runs up the name of Millard Fill more for President in 1852, and that of William A. Graham, of Nor Ii Caroliina, present Secretary ot the Navy, fur Vjce President. It is decidedly a good ticket, although we would a little pre fer the names of r ilhuore and Crittenden. But we are wil ing to take Mr. Fillmore with al 0)01 any good Southern man. He is by nil odds our first choice for the Presidency. Perhaps it is a little too early to agitate this matter, cut ihey "are already doing it at the North, and we ought to keep up with them at the iSoutli. Should Mr. Fillmore receive the nomination, we cannot permit ourselves to doubt his triumph ant re election. S.i.ce he has been iu office he has shown himself to be a man of a thousand. He has borne himself ihosi nobly during his whole career and endeared himself to every true patriot of the whole country. Jn the execution of the laws, he has known no party, no section, no friends, no enemies; but he has treated all with the same justice and impartiality. Under him the country has prospered.peace has been restored, agitation put down, and the laws and the Consti tution have gained the ascendancy. In a word, he is just such a man as we want, and we are ready to give him our humble but zealous support Tuskegee (Ala). Republican THE UNION. The recent evidences of the preva'enee of the Union spirit in the South must be flighty gratify ing to patriots everywhere. It should be borne in mind that it is ins Union otitis, which command, the loyal affection of all Southern bosoms. It is believed by the South that there is still safei) aod still honor in the Union, and therefore, she will uphold it "ai all hazards and to the last extremi ty, cut when it ceases to be the Union which our fathers established, and when laws intended to sustain the Constitutional compact are success fully aod systematically evaded and resisted, the Union will be dissolved, not oy : Southern but by Northern hands and against Southern inclinations aod efforts, h should therefor be tn aim of true' patriots at the North to support the Union as it is, and to lend no countenance for party, ot any other purposes, to tbe resistance or invasion 'of any of we provwioas of theCorwutotJonsieompscf.

The following highly important dispatch was received from the editor of the Savannah Morning Nevvs.kisi night : Savawkaii, ?ep. 1, Hi P. M. The schooner Merchant arrived here to-dsy,with Havana dates to the 23d of August Her news is of intense ip:erest and highly encouraging for the Patriots. Since the 13jli, Gen. Lopez and his army had encountered the Spaniards in. several contests, in all ol which the latter had been defea ted with very heavy loss. On the 17th,a battle occurred, in which Gen. Enna, commander-in chief of theQ,ueeu's forces, was k lied, U gether with a larjje number of officers and men. Lopez is now marching upon Havana, at the head of an army of 1,600 or 2,000 men, which is daily receiving large accessions froqi the urron.n- uinj country. The Span ish troops are completely cowed by the frequent reverses which they have sustained. Gen Enna wms buried with great pomp in Ha vana, on the 20. h. The greatest excitement and consternation pre vailed in that city, as there were only seven hun dred of the troops there, who could offer but a fee ble resistance. STILL LATER, OFFICIAL DESPATCH. The Government yesterday afternoon received the following Telegraphic despatch in six hours from New Orleans: New Orleans, Sept. 211 A.M. Advices from Havana to the 25th ultimo. The accounts are conflicting. Lopex still held out. with Ins force very much reduced. The Govern ment had offered a reward for him, but had pro mised a pardon to those of his followers w;io wi uld surrender. It does not appear that any of the Cre oles had joined him. No vessel has departed hence lor Cuba since the Pampero.'' The preceding, which is fr cfVrs Zafer than the news via Savsnnih, completely contradicts the Matter as to the reported march of Lopez on Ua vana at the head of two thousand men, and that the natives were flocking to his standard. The only inference we can draw from this new iatel I gence is, that the men under Lopez were defen, ding themselves with desperation, preferring to sell their lives dearly ratlier than incur the risk of a public execution. J"at. Int. 3rd tusf. From the Spirit of the Age. H, S. ELLENWOQD. In aur poetical corner will-be found a graceful piece of yerse called the marriage oftnebun and Moon, which was written by Mr. Ellen wood, many years ago, and extensively circulated thro' the country. When the Editor of this Paper was. Carrier for. the Raleigh Regis, er, (1:30) he applied to Mr. Ellenwood to write the usual 'Christmas Address.' He complied, and we have the original copy now, written in his fine, elegant style of penmanship, equal to the best copperplate engraving we have ever seen. Deeming the lines ol the highest order of Piietic genius, we give them below, in memory o( our old friend, who has many years ago 'gone the way of all flesh Unused to rhyme, and still less apt to reason, With mere good w ishes at this festive season, When gainers teem with Autumn's treasures star ed, And plenteous viands smoke upon the board ; While peace and sweet content o'er all the land Dispense their blessings with unsparing hand ; Tbe huntblest agent of the press would now, Sanctioned by custom, make his annual bow. The Prees, tnau's firmest friend in every age, Sheds its broad light u'er history's ample page ; From times remote illustrious deeds brings down. In all tboir truth, tinstru and mend our own ; Lifts the thick veilf. oni tyranny's design, And bids the sun of Freedom rise and shine. The Press and man are doomed one fate to share, And both are free, or both base vassals are ; A press untrammelled kindles freedom's fires ; lie-train the Press and liberty expires. Time was, when Kings, by right divine, maintained, Sway undisputed o'er the nations chained ; '1 he monarch's will was law ; his potent breath Imprisoned,scourged, or hurled to instant death ; The fate of millions hung upon his nod, Heaven's great vicegerent, scarcely less than God ! That time isp-iet. May never return again Terror and folly's more than .slavish reign 1 That time w past. The great discovery's made, That man is man and knows no higher grade ; And truth proclaims, in thunder, from the Press, Tbe btsto: Kings are men. the worst are less.
