Ttits created some suspicion upon the part of ihe guard Which resulted, finally in a thorough search of Capt. Marks' trunk. This search was made on the day of their arrival at St. Quintin. "Capt. Marks had said that he had no money in his possession, and actually bor rowed from some of the passengers to fur pish his express with means to defray his Expenses to San Francisco. Some six or eight thousand dollars Were found in his tj-unk, which he said on that occasion, was the proceeds of his own honest labor." i After this a serious altercation appears tb have arisen, and the jbitterest feelings arose among the passengers towards Capt.

Republican of the 1st inst. makes a most appropriate and time ly quotation from what it styles " Dr. Franklin's Fugitive Slave Law." On the 1st of March, 1779, the Legislature of Pennsylvania passed an act, which was drawn up by Dr. Franklin, to provide for the gradual abolition of slavery within the Commonwealth, the eleventh section of which reads as follows ; That this or any thing in it contained shall not give any relief or shelter to any absconding or runaway hegro or mulatto slave or servant who has absconded him self from his or her owner, master, or mis tress, residing in any other State or coun try, but such owner, master or mistress shall haVfc like right and aid to demand, claim, and take away his slave or servant as he might have had in case this act had not been made.' j Upon this the Peoria Republican makes the following sensible commentary : ' Now,; when it is remembered that the present Constitution of the United States was ndtjhen in existence, that the old ar ticles of Confederation were silent On that siihieet. and consequently that Pennsylva- ! nia was not bound to j return fugitive slaves, it will be seen that the spirit which prompted thej enactment of this provision j was entirely adverse to that with which I the subject has been handled in our day. Dr. Franklin justly thought that the Un ion of these States was the foundation of their prosperity and that, although Penn sylvania might free her own slaves, she could not make her territory an asylum were crowded by hundreds' in nuriuii ..f i.la- ure and pure air. Husbands went to see iheir wives, fathers their daughters, and lover their sweethearts ; and several unfortunate bipeds, who bad neither wives, daughters nor sweet, hearts, went with the forlorn hope of attaining the first 'mint in thai happy series of causes and consequence which ought, at least once in a lifetime, to bless every son of Adam, with the possession of all three. We have only to do. however, with but one among the crowd a well known citizen of New Orleans a man of poetic imagination and ardent temperament, who, on this occasion was about to pay a week ly vbit t a wife and some half dzei childien. at Biloxi. A lady on board had received from that polite attention which every gentleman i hound to pay lo one of the sex when unprolect ed, or. in other words, when her mother doesn't know she's out. They sat toother upon the guards,' and each spoke of the beauties of na ture ; but we regret to say that the gentleman did not allude, in the most distant manner, to the fact of his having a wife. How this fresh breeze cools the fevered pulse and invigorates the Irame,' remarked the gentleman, and what visions of beauty lie above and around, as the boat dashes through the water this bright moon light night, chasing the cares of business away, and bringing sweet and pleasing reflections. See that glow which still lingers in the wes tern horizon, where sky and water seem to meet ; does it not portray to the mind the glori ous hopes of youth, which point to the dim dis tance of the future and create an imaginary connection between earth and heaven?" See the trark of our progress, as it rests in foam up. on ihe surface of ihe lake ; and as the agitated waters still parkle, i; appears as if the galaxy was transferred lo their cool depths. At early morning, when the white heath before us friii ges the lake, and the sun shining through the tree U.ps, casts their shadows apon the calm waters, fancy deems it Nature's mirror, framed in silver and with her perfumes hanging round it. And when at evening, if you sin." 1 seek the shadows of the forest, when a swee't little Jenny Lind is singing on every bow, you will feel that their joyous-notes come with fresher gladness to the hearlthan the voluptuous swell of operatic music' Our hero stopped here for the want of breath; and a sweet smile from ihe lady thanked him for his efforts to please. At this moment, a fel low of rather unprepossessing appearance, step ped up to the lady and desired her to prepare to land, that they were nearing the shore. She replied not ; but cast a look of silent suf fering upon our poetic gentleman, who was thrown into a perfect fit of surprise and com miseration. The boat reached the landing at Pass Christian, the lady and her seemingly rough companion went on shore, and our hero, who had been watching her final exit, turned away with a sigh, and determined as the boat left the wharf, to drown his sentiment and sor row in a brandy julep. It had quite a cooling and agreeable effect ; but when he sought his purse to pay the bir-keeper, it was not to be found. He stood mute for a moment ; but the memory of ail that had passed came rushing ipn him, and slapping his empty breeches pocket, he cried : Done brown, by ! 1 felt her leaning against me as I spoke of the connection between heaven and earth.' The purse contained within a few dimes of ninety dollars. We learned the story from the hero of it, and consider i's moral loo good to let it pass unnoticed, N. O. Picayune, lAfh. Child destroyed by a Wild Beast. Yester day in addition to the tremendous hail shower which made every heart sad in the good town of j Canterbury, eight miles northeast of us, another matter made a great sensation in that town. A chid of Jonathan Ayres, esq. aged about six years, was sent into a pasture near the house for some purpose, but not returning in due lime, a searchrwas made for it ; and soon some of its limbs were found, the most of its flesh having been devoured evidently by some savage ani mal. This discovery brought out the fact that some f Jhe neighbors recently had had glimp ses of a ferocious creature resembling a wolf, whose den from its actions they supposed must be in the woods near by. Such animals have not been seen here much during the last quar ter of a century, and we are told many men are in pursuit of it to-day. The child was one of much interest, and its family friends ire num erous. Mr. Ayres is a member of our slate leg islat ure the present year ; and was so last year. Concord (AT. H ) paper. the more shocked when Snanish am.I n. fgro ferocity is added to the horrible spec tacle. The whole United States will feel the thrill and shock, and loud will be the cries of vengeance ; but there is another side of this question, which, as a just peo ple, we are bound to respect and weigh with due consideration. Apparantly, the People of Cuba rest contented with their Government, for the Cubans themselves not only show no de sire for a change, but actually revel in the cruelties committed by their Government ? and in the midst of the teeth with bowie knives and six shooter rifles, land from New Orleans in a steamer to force "liber ty" down their throats, and. such as resist the blessing are bowie knii ed, or stretched on the ground in the agonies of death by the fatal bullets of these six shooters.

' All the leading and most reliahl. nn-f.. published in New York corroborate the I statements contained inthc last preceding paragraph. Mr. Spear, the special mcs senger who arrived at New-York in the steamship Cherokee, from New Orleans, with Adams & Co.'s New Orleans expreSs freight, states that he was present at the I execution of the persons captured, and j that the reports current of the, maltreat j ment of their bodies after death are entire ly untrue. They were conveyed in hand some heapses to the grave, and decently buried. Some vagabonds amused them selves by kicking about solie of the discar ded clothing of the prisons. This state j ment, the New York Express says, is con firmed by not less than twenty Americans now in New York who saw the execu tions. They all confirm the truth of the , account brought by the messenger of Ad ams's Express. The Express has also the following re . marks, drawn forth by the publication of certain fabricated despatches from New Orleans : The Press teems wiih falsehoods respect t mg ihe Cuba insurreciion. There seems lo be an organized body in all parts of the ro'in. try especially engaged in the manufacture of them, in order to &timulat nw victim ..f. r.. some thirty Americans armed with these cylinder rifles, shot eighty out of one bun dred and ten Spanish soldiers attacking ihem. Indeed, the contest between the Spaniards and the Americans was of a most bloody character, for Spaniards, re ports tell us, own up to four hundred and fifty killed or dangerously wounded on the field. Now, here is an island, neaceful. nrns. perous, and for all we know content, thus at.

' ' j The despaiches alove alluded to were eri dently mere inventions. They pretended lo ! communicate the substance of private letters from Havana to the 10th instant, which an j nounced the triumph of the invaders in Cuba, ! w"o, it was said, had been ioird bv-four ihn... sand of the Spanish troops, when the fact was invaded the second time, by no nation be Z m .

And these freebooters pirates, rather, for in the nomenclature of nations that is their real name fire, burn, shoot, cut. slash, slay the people they find there, under the pretence of giving them ''liberty." Soldiers in the discharge of their duties to their Government are shot with cylinder rifles. Cubans themselves in armsshare a similar fate. Whatever opposes or resists them is ruthlessly destroyed, cut down, or fired. In short, an island in a state of apparent peace is thus, of a sudden, subjected by strangers to all the horrors of war. It is not wonderful, then. nay. is it not natural, that these men, when captured, are shot ? shot as we would shoot true, with cruel ties beyond any we ever dream of practis ing. Canadians or Mexicans thu3 coming here, or Englishmen, if thus they should come. Bring the case right home to our selves, in supposing that the Abolitionists of England or of the Northern States should take it into their heads thus to send a steamer irom Liverpool or Boston to Louisiana, to bring "the blessings of lib erty" to the slave population there ; and who doubts then that the Louisianians would shoot them, as they would mad. dogs in the fields or streets ? It is of no use to reiterate the lie that the Cubans are all in arms, that a revolu tion exists, and that such a Government is created as justifies foreign intervention. These are the mockeries, the monstrous falsehoods created for the New Orleans press, and for the New York press in part, which led the deluded fools on board of the subjoined despatches, however, we have some confidence, as we think it not improbable, from the efTiris thai have been made lo delude ! the unsuspecting, that anofher expedition has been equipped and taken its departure from ; New Orleans : j New Orleans, August 19. ) We have as yet received no intelligence of the Pampero.
