By n manuscript left at the office of the

vicinity. After wedding, the boat;started
off, and mad gone but O snort distance, when
they saw crowd upon the river bank.
They stopped anu found them 10 be Pur.
sue's OF the murderers. IL appears that
negro named Joseph. belonging to Mr..
Voorhees,. on Bayou DE GLAZE, had been
persuaded to run off and Join him, by
NEGRO runaway from New Orleans named
Enoch. They murdered Mr.. Harrington,
and took with them mo he woods his wife
and a young lady. They called Mr.. Har-
ringlon cut OF his house, lie unsuspeCtingly
went, a pistol anu gun were presented at
him. He was guarded into the house, when
the negroes laid their weapons on the bed,
and declared their purposes to be TO murder
him, and ubIuct the females. Harrington
seized q pistol, aimed II al the breast OF T.
noch, and exploded the cap without dis
charging the load. Joseph aimed the rifle

and the girl Marg2fet; Enoch escaped,
though supposed to be wounded by some
one or more balls fired al him. Joseph
confessed, and they determined TO burn him
alive. He was chained 10 a tree, the fas-

clared as before that he had no other ac-

him kill the men who were murdered. His
cries were terrific when the flames reached
him, and By superhuman eXertions, he
wrested the staple which confined the cham
to the tree. He was then shot and his body
cast back into the fire The glrl is in jail

LETTERS FROM CUBA.

The harbor of Havana presents, at this
season Of the year, n most picturesque and
onimating appearance; flags from ali ports
0! Europe, are waving at this time in the
harbor. All nations appear to have sent
their representatives here.-The Russian,
from Archangel, and The Neva, whishcred

are the best that have been issued of late years

marauders were shot; and now, to crown
the whole with the extremity Of horror,
slow fire, which had arisen and been grad
ually creeping EDWARDS from the time OF
the catastrophe, spread at once into a gen.
eral conflagration, consuming what had es-
capped the former calamity and the sacrile-
gious hands Of pilage.
The survivors, now in a state of almost
positive nudity and starvation, were thus
deprived Of their remaining hopes; and
misery and utter restitution stared them
openly in the face. Hundreds had taken
refuge on board the ships in the harbor,
with the trifing effects which an agonizinC
haste suffered them to lay hold of, together
with as many of the manned and wounded
as were thus favored by their good fortune.
As far as we have been able to learn, the
city of San Domingo has fortunately sus-
tanned no damage whatever; neither has
Port au Prince met with any injury to speak
Of, according to our last accounts. The
conduct OF the inhabitants of Porto Plata
displayed noble instance Of generous and
sympathetic feeing-aike honorable to
their hearts, as 1t was meritorIous from its
utility. An association was formed of the
principal inhabitants, and board Of relief
established for the conveyance Of suCcor to
the distressed, both in Cape Haytien and in
Santiago. Provisions were contributed by
each for this purpose, according to his
means, and depot was fixed to distribute
the same as the exigencies Of the case might
require and 10 those arriving ere in des.
titute state many have been thus relieved
from the horrors Of famine, which would
have been the climax to their previous mis-
fortunes and misery. The other towns and
villages besides our own and those enume-
rated above, which have most seriously suf-
fered, (some Of which are entirely demol-
iShed,) are Porto Paix, Gonaives, ST. Marc,
Mole st. Nicholas, St. Louis du Nord, Foot
Dauphin, Limbeport, Margot, Bornge, La
Grande Rlviere, Laxavon, and Altamira,
which, together with Porto Plata, Cape
Haytien, Santiago, St. Osero, and La Vega,
before mentioned, make in all II towns and
villages, with loss Of lives in nearly all. 1t
is impossible to convey an adequate idea OF
the severity Of the blow which will be given
to commercial interests in general, through
all their channels and ramifcations many
years will be required to restore matters to
their footing. 1t will be equally difficult 70
conjecture at what periods the signs OF raw
ages will be removed, and the towns and
cities regain and approach their former
condition. We wait with extreme anxiety
to hear the fate of our sister islands, Cuba
Porto Rico, and Jamaica. We must con
clude that they have each and severa!ly
been visited with the same calamity, though
perhaps not to the same extent and dam
age. The direction taken by the earth
quake, which proved the most severe in its
effects, was along the northern and north
eastern part; all the other parts Of our IS
land have experienced ,he.shock, though on
" in partial and limited degree.

Genlemen:-1n reply to your note OF yester-
day, requesting my opinion Of the series OF Anat.
omical Plates OF Dr.. Quain and Mr.. Wilson, |
am glad TO be able to state, that 1t ia, in my
opinion, the most splendid work Of the kind that
has appeared. Its authors are practsed and ex
cellent anatomists, and not less informed in the
various relations which that important depart
ment bears 10 medical science in general. The
plates in the original, are faithful representa-.
lions of the human frame as exposed on diSsec-
ton, and are beautifully delineated.
Such work, executed throughout with the
same care as the lthographic plates which you
exhibited to me, and under the supervision OF so
able an anatomist as Prof. Pancoast, | should
esteem a cheap and most valuable addition to
our stock of anatomical works; and cannot
doubt, that it would be eagerly sought after by
the student; as we'll as by the practitioner, to
refresh his memory on important occasions.
