Marshall said that the De? mocrats did not oppose the bill from any love of military governments, but preferred even that to handing over the unfortunate people to the tender mercies of a Bet of robbers who re? presented no people, but merely sought to prey on the people of Mississippi.

A SPANISH OUTRAGE TS NEUTRAL WATERS REIGN OF TERROR IN HAVANA Full Partienlars of thc Capture of ?he American Brig Alary Lowell by Spanish M an-of-war- Bloody Work at Havana-Terrible Excitement among the Populace- Violent Scenes ou Palm Sunda y- 31 nritri and .Executions Duirc's Cowardly Conduct. ?The Havana c ^respondent of the New York Wo i ld, writing nuder date of March 24th, says Tho British gunboat Cherub came into port yesterday evening from Nassau, N. P., and brought news of sens .tiona! importance, since they tell ot a great insult to ana outrage upon the American and British flags by a Spanish man-of-war. I have told yon of an American jailinr vessel having shipped on arms md a mm u union and a number of Cuban passengers from an American steamer, .bat had been disabled in her ma :hiuery, at or near Nassau, and of her laving put into Bogged Island port, Bahamas, There she was closely watched by a Spanish nan-of-war, tho Andalusia. By tho arrival of ibb British schooner Margaret, at. Nassau, rom Bagged Island, tl-e storth'og announce nent was conveyed that the ve sei in question lad been captured in an English port of entry iy the Andalusia, ia direct violation of inter latioual and british laws. By the Margaret here came as passenger to Nassau Mr. Walter iVilson, the Gusto nh JU se ofticar at Bagged [aland, who had bad charge of the Ameiican :> ri g Mary Lowell, the vesdel in question, in he capacity of pilot an J customhouse officer, or a per .od ol eighteen days, and who had the latchway? sealed down with tho seal of ber Majesty's customs. To one of the officers of he gunboat Cherub I- am indobted for the fol owing copy of Mr. Wilson's official report of he capture of tho Mary Lowed, he having jeen on board of her at the time : On 'he afternoon ot thc 13th, at about 4-20 P. M., I vas m the act of removlug thc brig Maty Lowell rom Man of-war Anchorage to a safer place known is the "Harbor," when I was ordered to heave to and ow LT my sai's by the commander ot' the Spanish junboit Andalusia, who, finding that 1 did not do so it once, gave tho order three titn-p, in a loud voice, 0 fir.' into us. Upon this I Immediately hove to, rhen a boat came alongside contilnini; fifteen men veli armed, under the command of two officers, one if whom demanded permission to come on board. I epbed that he might ?o so as a private individual, M mt not in an official capacity, upon which he came | t in board. We bad ' not however, been in conversa 1 on more than a minute or so, when an order from be captain of tho gunboat was elven to the men m he boat to board the brig, which they accordingly lid. and immediately took formal possession of the tessei. I nuy here mention that the order, three imes given, to fire into us. was prevented from, Ming carried into execution by an officer who placed ils hand on the cap of the gun to prevent its being Ired. I remonstrated with the officer who boarded me who, by the way, could speak English fluently) in as nergetlc o manner a* was consistent with my duty, sking him whether he was aware of the illegality nd gravity of the act which ho was about to corn? ait and whether he knew th?t the brig Mary Lowell meer my charge was an American vessel, and that he was in British waters and under British pr i tec ton, and, moreover, that I waa an officer in >he em iloy of her Majesty's government of the Bahamas, o which he replied, "that he was only obeyinz the irderd of his superior officer." He then ordered mc 0 get into the boat and go on board the gunboat ss he commander wanted to see mo. I then, with the ix men that were with me in the brig-tour ot *houi ?elonged to ber. and tue other two of whom I had irought irom the shore-got into the boat and pro-1 t eeded to tho Spanish man-of-war. On going on loan! I asked the captain what his intentions were, I ] nd what lie wanted with mo, to which he inply replied that 1 mu?t at once go on shore. To nuble me to do so. he gave me the boat belonging 3 tho Mary Lowell, iu wuicli my brother, George V. Wilson who was on board ol the man-of-war, pether with myself and the too men Oom the bore, reached the land. 1 he other four men belong? il to tho brig, who wero all British subjects, were stained as prisoners on board the spunitth gunboat, uring the entire of the above proceedings, as nar? ced by me, the American flag was flying from the iain deck of the brig, until I was oblige i to lower iy saus, wnm it was carnea io me mac "t inc ves ..I and spread over the rail. On our leaving tho lary Lowell, the American flag was removed, and tmosi immediately afterwards t JO brig wa? made ist to the gunboat, which proceeded -nth her lo sea 1 a southwesterly direction. Tue captain of the Mary Lowell had le't her t (tagged island some time-be tore the capture f the vessel, and her Cuban passengers had .11 gone off iBhore, many of whom came back o Nassau m the schooner Margaret with Ous omhouse Officer Wilson. The good people of tagged Island were thrown into a high state if excitement by the cipture and consequent nsult to tbeir flag, and have sworn vengeance tgaiust Spaniards, and the first Spanish vee iel that puts into their port is likely to cot k wai m reception. In Nassau tho capture LISO created no sma'l excitement. Governor .Va;ker at once pronounced it an outrage, wan on and unpardonable in its nature and oxeou ion, wine h demands prompt and vigorous mess ires in vindication of tho honor and integrity >f the British Empire. With this view of tho :ase, his Excellency forthwith prepared dis Dat hes for the home government, and sent hem to Havana by the Cherub fer telegraphic xansmission. Her Britannic Majesty's Con J ul-Genend here, the Hon. James Graham Dunlop, has taken tho matter of the capture a band with zeal . and ? energy. Yesterday evening be was to have had an interview with Captain-General Dulce on the subject. The sapturo of the Mary Lowell is likely to lead to tenons diplomatic complications between jreat Britain and Spain, in which tho Amer! :an Governmeut will necessarily have to take part a gams t tho latter power. The same correspondent writes under date ?t the 23 i ult os follows : On Sunday evening a government transport left for Fernando Po with two hundred and twenty-five political prisoners ou board, hov mg for escort the war frigate Lealtad. Until wjrhm a day or two of this, four hundred pris' suers bad been selected to go, but representa lions made to Captain-General Dulce induced him on Friday to reduce tue number, and re? tain one hum.red and forty-five of the prison ara for fuller consideration of their coses. The two hundred and twenty-five who went were embarked fr J m Fort Cabanas, and although very many of them belonged to the first classes of society, embi acing wealthy sugar and to? bacco planters, able jurists, talented lawyers. professor?} and physicians, merchants uf note,, fervent priests and affluent bonkers, all were taken on board, ironed and chained. Their embarkation was witnessed by several thous? ands of persons- assembled on tbe wharves Most of the spectators were Spaniards, attract? Bd there by curiosity, and to rejoice over the misfortune of the embarking prisoners. AU the prisoners had been embarked before halt-past one P. M., ind the vast crowd had begau to leave the wharves when a very re spectable ?Spanish merchant, Senor Veg?ier, (au officer of volunteers but then dressed in ntizen's o othes), caught a man trying to pick his pockets, and I ad him arrested. Thc crowd noticed this, and some one having wickedly mated that the man was arrested for shouting, Muera Espa?a! (Death to Spain I) a general lomond lor his life was made, and cries of "snoot him ! kill him 1" resounded on all sides. Just then a half-witted Juuan, named Fran :isco Noy, who is known by a tbotisaud per? sons tobe an irresponsible being, defiantly re? sponded to the cr. :S of tho Spa-muds with the shout of Viv J. C?spedes! Muera Espana! He .vas immediately knocked down, an i would havo ?eeu killed on tho spot had not the courageous Deputy-Commissioner Romero, who knew th ? nan, "rescued him aud then started with dui aud the pickpocket for tho pri ?on. The crowd followed the Daputy-Com nissioncr, shouting and yelling like demous, iud increasing in number every second. Ar? rived in frout of the barracks that adjoiu the ity governor's palace and face tow.ird the Plaza de Armas, the deputy commissioner re? sized that bis prisoners would soon be taken 'iom him and killed if he continued any fur? ner, so he had the barrack gates opened to lim; passed iu with the pnsoners beyoui th9 ard, and soon lodged them safely within one jf the rooms of the barracks. The crowd fol o-ving endeavored to also enter the yard, but he sentiuels at tho gato were too quica lor hem. and succepded in shutting them out. Hundreds of men thereupon began scaling the ron fence, but were intimidated from going jver by the officer on diry within, who placed :wo comp mies in line of battle in front of tho fonce, and thus kept the crowd on the outer ?do. Unable to reach the men whose blood they ihusted for -with tiger-like ferocity, tho thousands of Spaniards forming tho mob, shouted and yelled louder than ever, every ninnie hundreds being added to their rank*, inc d iy was Palm Sunday. Jiost of the mob L?ad attended church that inornnisr, WK! borne off palm leaves, aod other leafy emblems, which are in all countries given that day to at? tendants at Catholic services. .Many of tho infuriated men still bore these palm leaves and leafy emblems in their hands, and gesticulated wildly with them. The crowd in front of the barracks and .ho City Governor's Palace soon became immense, and filled also in part tho Plaza de Armas. General Dulce repaired to the barracks, and at the same time the officer on duty at tho Captain General's palace detached a part ot the guard there to clear the plaza of the crowd. This order was not lo be fulfilled without bloodshed. Ono of tho men in tho plaza, who was not participating in the riotous demon? strations, was rather slow in leaving, so one of the guards (a volunteer of the second batta? lion) struck him aside blow with bis gun to accelerate his pace ; but this had a contrary effect, the man getting an?ry and remonstra? ting witb the volunteer. This ono thereupon struck him a second time with the side of thc gun, which was at once snatched. A lieu ton ant of volunteers seeing this, ran up, and without saying a word, shot the man with Ins pistol in the head, killing him instantly. The killin- of the man in tho plaza immedi? ately drew most of the mob there, and it feast? ed its sight with the bloodshed, and lauded tho murdering lieutenant, who took good eire to :laim the credit of tho killing, very much un ier tbo false impiession thac tho victim .vas a Suban. The viewing of tho lifeless body, all covered with gore, was but an appetizer to tho nob for more blood, and soon tho burg i tig, ?houtine, yelling mass was again in front of .he barrac;, e. About this time courageous ieputy commissioner Romero appeared on the street, and was booted at, which led him to ad irc8S those nc.ircst him, tailing them they mew not what they were abont ; that they did lot understand the cases of the two prisoners ind had better go home. This caused con? siderable disorder for a short while, during vhich the deputy commissioner was killed, i volunteer in uniform, said by some o belong to the fifth battalion, but this s not positive, shooting him through the lead, and declaring at thc same time he vas no better than an insurgent. This murder Teated a visible commotion, aud General Dulce was led by it to appear, and announce bat the volunteers should have justice. This, lowever, did not satisfy the mob, and their ?loraor for blood continuel as violently as ever, it least a dozen cries of Muera la JJulce! as lending from the crowd, and one of the loud sst-voiced individuals shouted to tbeCaptain jrencrol so as to be extensively heard : "Decide it on c whoso bead wc aro to have, yours or hat of the man." Ia the face of this very infiattering reception General Dulce retired, md afterwards many officers of volunteers cir? culated among the mob and told all hands that General Dulce had ordered a military commis lion of volunteers to try one of the men, who TOS to be condemned aud shot m less than an lour. The prospect of more blood and of tho sight >f on execution, delighted tho mob, and at mee the shouting aud yelling ceased; and ad htionaltroops coming up, including General . Dulce's body guard, the orowd wdhngly moved iff hom in front of the barracks and the plaza, ind anxiously awaited tho feast ot blood prom sod it. This was indeed to take place. Gone al Dulce had truly succumbed to tho brutal lemands of the mob, and a haman beiug was o be sacrificed as tho price of quietude. A :om mission composed as promised, entirely of .olnn teer officers, some of whom had been also ?lamoringfot blood, was told to try tho pick >ocket for treason. This commission com nenced its proceedings in thc peculiar Span? ish stylo of first ordering a priest to confess be accused, and a hearse to bear bis body tj be grave, and thoa called the pickpocket bo? oro it, together with half a dozen witnesses. L'heso last were not sworn, but were limply asked what thov know about the ase, wheu about one-half said they bought they had board tho accused hout ".Mucra Espaua," and the other lah* wore positive he did use the words, pro iably confounding bim with Nov, who was not riod because ho was wounded, and was knowu o be half-witted. Not a quostlon was the poor iokpocket allowed to ask the witnesses, nor to ay a word in kisowa behalf. Witbot I writing hued by tho fiscal, or judge-advocate, to be cntenced to death, and was at once turned ver to tho pre?rdered cares of a priest for onfessiou and preparation for death. Whether be pickpocket's sins were tow, or whether the inest, being a Spaniard, did not deem the poor ?llow worthy of much attention, tho coules ion business did not lake up much timo, but ros over in a few minutes. Afterwards the londcmiicd man was given up to those detailed o shoot bim. Tho chosen place of execution was on tho rrouud facing the office of the captain of the )ort, iu front of the bay, and only a few paoes 'rom whero tho mau was supposed to have :ommitted thc tremendous crime of shouting 'linera Espana I" With wonderful calmness ind fortltudo he marched from the barracks :o the fatal spot, and mot death fearlessly ind bravely. The discharge that terminated Iiis existence was the signal tor prolonged cheers f.om the thousands of Spaniards .hat witnessed the executon. The shouts were so great and numerous and exaltations io loud, that one ignorant of their char loters or ot the events transpiring, would have been deceived into supposing thoy wore celebrating some mighty triumph, instead of being occupied in disgracing themselves by unmanly, uncbristianlike, and brutal rejoicings over tho killing, ofter a farcical trial, of a poor, unprotected, friendless (i ckpocket. After the execution, the mob dispersed, satisfiod for tho time being, and with the exception of the kill? ing of a negro man on Sunday night on Oficios street, by a detachment of volunteers, upon the pretence that he had shouted Vina (Jes pedes, DO further disturbances have occurred here.

Tho following gentlemen have been admitted to practice during the recent session of the court in Spartauburg : 0. E. East, of Laurels; W. M. Foster, John Earle Bomar and G. W. H.

Colton i and guano-guano and cotton - are the t absorbing thoughts now. lt would be calam- t i tons should the ensuing supply of cotton provo so great in tho South as to bring the staple to its minimum price.'* The same paper says : "The subject of immi? gration is somewhat quiet just now. But few new ongagemeut8 will be made during tho cn suing summer. Tho indefatigable business agent. Mr. F. W.

Mr. Bruggeman is making ?ropara- \ tiona for a large business in the tall; he is con- ) fident that the results of tho prosont year will 3 warrant an extensive introduction into our district of tho German laborer. Tho natural 1 prejudices overcome, on both sides, a daily in- 1 creasing interest must ensue.

The w >rd morganatic is said to be derived from the Gothic morgjan, to curtail or limit, and is used to indicate a lower sort of ma.rimonial union, which, os a civil en ga re? nient is completely bindiug, but fails to confer on the wife the title or fortune of her husband, and on the children the right ol' succession. This explanation is necessary, to understand the intelligence from St. Petersburg, that the newly married wife of tho Duke of Leuchten berg, the nephew of the Czar, Alexander II. bad-recoil ed for herself and har descendants the title of Countess of Beaubornals. The de? cree *onferring this title sots forth that by the organic law of the Empire tho Duke's titlo cannot pass to his children, nor can the title of Duchess be borne by his wito. 1? adds, however, that tho marriage-took place with tho full consent of the Lzax. This, it is assert? ed, is the first iustatico of he formal sanction of a morganatic marriage in Russia, and iv is conjectured (hat the imperial recognition will be given to similar marriages that have here? tofore taken place. Thus, tho Grund Duch?se Mary, tho mothor of tho Duko of Luuchten be rg", who was tho eldest daughter of the Czar Nicholas, after tho death of her first husband marriodmorganatically Count Gregory Strogo noff. This latter marriage, it ia asserted, will now bo recognized. -There is no shock more positively disogree able than one's first view of Louis Napoleon on foot, and near enough for accurato criti? cism. He sits tall, and n a carriage or on horseback ap noars at his best. But on foot, bis short, thin legs and long body make up un awkward figure, below thu medium height, and one looks in vain at the retreating forehead, weak chin, narrow, drooping shoulders, and broad lips, for any of thu well known aud dis? tinctive marks ot the Bonaparte family. One gazes ho lelessly into tho dull glazed eyes, that havo an unpleasant resemblance to those of a deceased mackerel, at lus red bottle-nose and retreatiug chin, to find evidences of intel? lect and character. -Defroes, defeated for the public printing, had previously named his son Schuyler Colfax, aud when Colfax failed to support him, it is reported that ho sent back the silver mug and the grateful letter which Colfax had bestowed uoon the boy at his b iptism.

Its depressing influences aro especially unfavorable to invalids, and thousands of persons with feeble constitutions, who have borne the win? ter bravely, break down in the first month of spring. The variations of temperature a id cold east winda aro a serious trial to ibo dyspeptic and bilious, whose symptoms they Invariably aggravate. Inter? mittent fever ia also rife wherever there la evolvable poison in the water or tho soil. To enable the sys? tem to combat tho -e evils, there is nothing like a good vegetable tonic, and among this clasB of medi? cine? nOsTElTbR'S STOMACH BITTERS stand supreme. Medical mea prescribe lt ia pre fer enc o to any of tho ionic preparations of the pharmacopoeia. They are aware that the ordinary tinctures and ex. tracts are all bined upon cheap alcohol, which ls ?ur charged with an acrid essential oil, and absolutely poisonous. 'J hey know, OD the other hand, that the recUned essence of the finest rye grown in this couutry ls thu HOIO spirituous ingredient of H03 TETTER'S BITTERS, and thot ibo vegetable me? dicinal elements ot which lt is composed a o of rare efficacy. Hence, lt has the confidence ol physicians, and finds its way Into hospitals where no other pro? prietary medicine is sanctioned. A course ut th J BITTERS is especially recom? mended to persons ol delicate habits of both sexes, at ihti season. In tho fever and ague districts of the West and South, quinine h m been almost uuiver paliy discarded as a choiogogue, and this invaluable antidote to malarious dieordt-rs ad ?plc J in its stead. A .loubJo gaiu is realized by tue change, for the Bitters, unlike that dango, ous alkaloid, aro agreeable to thc palate, and their curative effect is much more permanent. nae C March 27 j?-TO CONSUMPTIVES.-THE ADVER? TISER, having becu restored to health ta o few weeks by a very simple remedy, after having suffered several years with a severo lung affectiou, tnd that dread disease Consumption, is anxious to make known to hif fellow-suffurew the means of cure. To all who desire il, nn will send a copy of the pre? scription u-ed (free ot chargei. with toe directions for prcpariug and using the same, which they will find a sure cure tor Consumption, Asthma, Bronchi taH, ?c. The object of tba adverti.-erlu sending the prescription is to benefit thc afflicted, and spread in? formation which ho conceives to be invaluable; and he hopes every sufferer will try his remedy, os lt will co<;t tlieui nothing and may prove a blessing.
