our mr>inta-rs in fYmrrross. imon the Abolition
sentiment in the North. Mr. Orr shows up I
in strong colors, the feelings and sentiments
of the abolitionists, towards our institutions,
J and confirms us more and more in the opinion,
that nothing short of the emancipation of
slavery, even in the StaU-s, will sati*fy this
fanatical crew. To reason with such
wretches upon the subject, is treating them
with a respect not due them, and only serves
to increase their insolence. It is quite evident,
we think, that the spirit which now actuates

of her left leg, near the ancle. This wa?
complicated -with a complete dislocation of

the foot, but the injury was so extensive, that
gangrene commenced 4 or 5 days after the injury,
which, it was greatly to bo feared, would
prove fatal, as she was 04 years of age. Tho

failure, ami that lovely Isle must Htill groan
tinder the iniquitous burdens, imposed upon
her by the Spanish Government. The expedition
headed by Gen. Lopez, and consisting
of over 000 men, effected a landing at
Cardenas, and after some ten hour's hard
fighting, look possession of tlx: place, capturing
the Governor and other officers. These
made a galant resistance, and only surrender
ed when the flames were applied to the Governor's
palace. Cardenas contains about 7,000
inhabitants, few of whom seemed disposed
to join the patriots. It was the intention
of Gen. Lopez, to next attack Matanzas,
but ascertaining that a large force was marching
against him, he re-embarked, and went
to sea. Bet ween 35 and 40 of the patriots
wero killed and wounded, and upwards of
100 of the Spanish. The Governor and ofworn

U. S. authorities. From this point they have
scattered away, many leaving on the Isabel
for New Orleans. Gen. Lopez, upon nrriv|
ing at Savannah, was arrested by order from
the President and brought before Judee

him, he was discharged. -lie is said to bo

delegates from this State to the Nashville

will at least be represented there, whether
other Slates come to the rescue or not. We

The Compromise.
The papers of this State, with one solitary
exception (the Charleston Courier), have
condemned Mr. Clay's project of a Compromise,
in the most etnphalic terms, Many of
the papers of Georgia and Alabama, have
also expressed theiir disapproval of it. The
Montgomery Advertiser, in speaking of it,
has the following:
" We give, at length, to-day, the'report of
the Committee of Thirteen, that our readers
.may see the reasons upon which the proposed
degradation of the South is based. If
the propositions themselves are objectionable,
what must be thought of the argument put
forth in this report to sustain tbcm. They
are an insult to the South,"

entitled to the lloor and that Mr. Clcmcns
only stopped him occasionally for tlw purposo
of sotting him right in relation to certain
points in the argument. On Tuesday
Mr. Soule delivered, in opposition to the entire
report, the most masterly argument
which has as yet been made. He reviewed
the report item by item urging the strongest
objections to each, until he left his adversaries
without a tenable position. Mr. Clay
attempted a reply, but though in it? delivery
it was said that lie evinced much of the animation
of his oarlv lifn. vot. it. fnit.nl l.uva
the (lesirc.1 effect, and the argument of Mr.
Soule is yet unanswered. Mr. Clay is l>egi
lining to despair of the passage of the
several Hills reported hy him and is now
ready to make propositions even to Mr. Benton
to the effect that if he (Benton) will support
his compromise, he (Clay) would support
Benton's proposition to establish a mint J
at San Francisco. Mr. Footc still continues
to bo the most zealous advocate for the
Compromise in the Senate?having bolstered
himself up with the opinions of a few worn
out political hacks who- coincide with him,
he now fancies that the whole country arc
c. . r *i-_ ?
in in>or 01 mo mows ciueitaincu i?y mm
and he will spare no effort to secure the
passage of that Compromise. If General
Footc was really honest in his opinions 1
know not that lie should be censured, but
turn it in whatever way you plea*?, th? fact
is still apparent that a wish to be placed upon
the ticket as a candidate for viee-presid?-nc7
at the next election, is the sole inducement
which is o|h>rating upon him and rendering
his course so inexcusably inconsistent.
This lust for office has done and is yet destined
to do the South much injury, until
i?v i.. n. li / ' ? "
sucii men ;is j-ouvi", vjoou, oi Georgia, oaity
and a few others, who for the sake of individual
aggrandisement would lose sight of
their country's well fare, are kept at home?
until #ucli is the onse we may ever expect to
hear of Northern aggression, for so long as a
few Southern men are to be found who will
not permit the South to present and unbroken
front, the North will never cease in her
unjust demands. When last I wrote I believe
I informed you that there was a probability
that the compromise Bills would pass
the Senate?at this time there is a difference
of opinion upon that subject, but I have
been told, by a distinguished member of the
Senate, thut SO far AS nr?tir?n wno
concerned one would never hear of the compromise
outside of that body for it was destined
to be crushed where it had its origin.
If this proves to Iks correct it will be fortunate
indeed, for should they succeed in push
ing it through the Senate, no doubt is entertained
as to its passing the House. It is said
ttfio ui?4l* even aliVMliU. Clio VIII uvrtu
Houses it would fail to receive the E.tmutivc
sanction. The President is determined
to have the honor of admitting California,
at* Mie now simian, ana him organ (the llo
public) in&inuati s that no plan which materially
altars tlio one proposed by him in his
Message, and which would thereby deprive
him of all the glory he expects to acquire during
his term, will meet his approbation.
Whether this rumor is truo or Hot, I cannot
say, but from the silence of Benton and the
-indifference manifested by him as to the
probablo result of the present discussion in
the Senate, as well as the fact that he lias
been known to have tweral conferences with
the President, induces me to believe that it

may never be tested by actual experiments,
but that the Bills will be killed in the Senate.
On yesterday a proposition for the establishment
of a mint in New York city was introduced
.and supported by Mr. Dickinson.

New Your. May 11, 1850.
In .n former communication, I mentioned
the fact of a young man, named Tall man,
who, in transacting the Custom House business,
for Messrs. Cottonct & Co. of this city,
had managed to cheat Uncle Sam out of a
considerable amount, and make his escnfn?.
A complaint was ma<Jo at the time, and a
warrant issued for his arrest; of)ieers have
been engaged since then, in searching out
his whereabouts, and on the 3d instant, they
received information that he was secreted
somewhere in the State of Ohio. Officer
Stephens started immediately, in pursuance
of said information, and on Thursday a week
ago, found him, at a place called Kalidft, a
small village in the woods of Putnam County,
Ohio* Tallm.nn submitted at once, and
expressed his willingness to return with the
ofliccr to New York, without any further
trouble. They arrived here on Tuesday morning,
and he has been committed to the tombs,
to await a further hearing. It is reported that
he intends to make a full confession, and an
exhibit of how, in what manner, by what
means, and at whose persuasion, the money
(some say 13,000) thousands of dollars lmve
been expended.
A runaway Slave, owned by Allen Thomas,
of Maryland, has been convicted of Grand
Larceny, and sent two years to the State
Trison. Mr. Thomas has been much dissap
pointed at the course of the law, however
at the cud of the imprisonment, his claim to
the service of the slave, will remain as at
present. The slave confessed the theft. Ilis
name is Nicholas Dudley, and is about 22
years, of ago.
We have now a Railway down each side

Immense numbers of Emigrants are pouring
into our city every <luy, on their way to

have landed here, most of them after

Last week was one of Anniversary meetings?this
one, has been a good deal after
the same fashion. On Tuesday evening the
Sixty-first anniversary of the Society of Tammany,
or Columbian Order,, was celebrated
at Tammany Hall, by a public dinner. The
company entered the room at a quarter past
seven o'clock, and numbered about one-bun

I the meeting, at its opening, were Francis B.
Cutting, President, supported by Messrs. Jared

U. D. French, and John McKeon, Vico Presidents.
The company enjoyed themselves
for an hour ovei* a first rate repast, furnished
by the proprietor of Tammany Hall, after
whieU a number of patriotic toasts were given,
and appropriately responded to by Col.
Joseph C. Hart, Judge Bloodgood, Alverado

The distance, which has so long lent enchantment

of the town, I believe it is generally
conceded to be one of the handsomest in the

of its public or private buildings as it is
for their uniformity, the regularity of its
streets, the beauty of its shade trees, and
the tasteful arrangements of its flower gardens?one
of the infallible evidences of civilization
and refinement. Situated on an elevated
position on the east bank of the Congaroe,
and about a mile from it, stands the
town, from the lower part of which a most
delightful view is afforded of the country

south, whose scenery is consecrated by deeds
and tales of tbo .^yrolution, and immortal

or bold encounter, lost to posterity.
