LATER FROM HAVANA.

THE LATE SToRM.-The brig Harriet, Capt.
Pete, arrived here yesterday in fifteen days from
Havana. Our files of papers by this arrival are
to the 18th instant.
The Captain of the port of Regla, under date
of October 6, in his despatch to the Captain Gen.
era, says that having searched the coast from the
quay of Porras as far as the Castle of Antares and
Talla- pedra, cove by cove, he had found seventy
six schooners lost, the steamer Natchez, two
blanders, ten launches, some loaded and some
empty, eight large boats, two fishing boats, and
small boats without number, wrecked and lost.
AT Jaruco one or two schooners and many
small boats lost. The river had risen to an
alarming height; the houses were inundated,
leaving many families houseess. The church
was also blown down, the hospital, and many
other buildings.
letter from Cayajabos says: The colossal
and cebas and royal palm trees torn from their
roots like weeds, the rivers risen above their
banks, plantations destroyed, the people invoking
the aid of Heaven, and holding up their children
toward the Omnipotent, as being always looked
upon with favor. All this formed horrible but
exact picture which fright and desolation diff
fused" The same adds "The women were
obliged to lie down on the grass in order to pre-
vent their dresses being torn off by the wind.
The American brig Poland had arrived safe at
Mariel.
AL Alguizar not single tree was left standing.
At San Antonio the theatre and the tower of the
church were blown down, and several lives lost.
AT Cardenas the effects of the hurricane were
horrible. The American briggs J. W. Knight and
Alexander were driven on shore, besides many
other vessels, not only there but all along in the
vicinity.
At San Francisco the effects were indeed ter

The ILLUMINATIoN.-The Wings of Annapolis
city and Anne Arundel county, had grand pro-
cession last night, in celebration of their recent
victory. The Wing houses were splenddly iu-
minated, yes, we say, each Wing house We'd with
it's neighbor in the taste, beauty, and variety of
its lights, &C., &c.
The procession was very large, and as it mo-
we'd through the different streets was cheered
from the Wing houses by the approving smiles of
the fair and lovely Wing ladies who grace our
city.
The procession after marching some time, stop
ped in front of the "City Hote,' where short,
but eloquent, addresses were delivered by Thos
S. Alexander, Esq, Governor Pratt, who made
his appearance after frequent calls; John John
son, and William Tell Claude, Esqs. After which
the procession was again formed and marched
until near IL o'clock. Nothing occurred we be-
lieve, to mar the pleasures of the evening, but
everything passed off pleasantly Re-

cos tell the people that this notable Southern
scheme, after all, will cause the abolition Of
slavery! Excellent friends those! Faithful all
lies of the South are the Northern Locofocos!
But this is only one class of Northern Loco
focos-another class of them denounce annexa-
tor in the roundest terms, and declare that it
projected with a view to dissolution of the
Union These men at one time were almost on
the point of breaking with their party, but at
length suffered their scruples to abate for the pre-
sent, for the sake of harmony and the spoils.
To cap the climax, the Polk party, which set
out "Southern to the backbone" has gyrated
and sommersetted, until it has actually formed a
coalition with the leader of the Abolitionists |!
This bargain has given such universal satisfac-
ton, and inspired such hopes in the broken ranks
of the Locofocos, that even the Globe and the
Madisonian, printed here in the midst of slavery,
have ventured to laud the philanthropy and dis
interestedness of the Abotionists. One of the
editors of the Globe goes further-he avows him.

decaying fortunes.
The present weekly contains rrefutabe proof
of this coalition, and we call upon all good Wings
to circulate it,

CHEERING FROM PENNSYLVANIA

The Philadelphia Inquirer of yesterday says:
"We have cheering news from the country. Our
friends are in high spirits, and will do their duty
FULLY and nobly tomorrow. We have reason to
believe that nearly every county in the State will
do better for the Wing cause, than on the second
Tuesday in October. Thousands who voted for
Skunk will vote for Clay. Thousands who did
not vote at all, will now rally to the polls, and as
slst in sustaining the Wing tariff of 1912. Gen.
Irwin says that his whole District will do better
Letters from Allegheny also inform us, that in
that neighborhood much stronger vote will be
polled for Clay than was given to Markle. We
learn also, that $50 Harmonsts of Beaver county,
who did not vote in October will all vote for Mr..
Clay tomorrow. There is no mistake therefore.
The cause is onward the skies are bright, and
victory is at hand"

EAGLE HARBoR, Aug. 16, 1914.
Since we arrived here we have discovered five
or six veins of copper, but have not been able to
prove any of them. All these discoveries have
been made in the course of small streams where
the action Of the water has exposed them. They
are all nearly similar in their meteorological ap-
pearance, being combination Of the native cop
per, with quartz, calcareous SPAR or the trap
rock. Of the carbonate or oxide of coprer-we
have not discovered any Mr.. Jackson, the great
Geologist of Boston, is with us at present. and is
employed by the company to test the ores that
we have discovered. He has examined one of
our largest and richest VEINS on Eagle river. It
is eight feet wide at the place where it was first
opened, and can be traced for nearly mile in
the bed of the stream. His opinion of this is,
that it will justify the expense of working, and
lie supposes that it may yield twenty-five per
cent. This is the only vein that he has exam
ined as yet, as he has been and now is confined
to his room, with severe illness Mr.. Henshaw
of Boston, one of the richest stockholders in the
company, came with him, and is at present with
us. | believe that the company intend to put all
their men to work on this vein, and to prove it
thoroughly
Eagle river is small stream, not more than
ten or fifteen feet wide at its mouth, about FIVE
miles in length, and is SO shallow that YOU can
cross it anywhere on the rocks that lie in the
stream. This will be hard country to "prove,"
and it will require time, as well as large amount
of capital to effect anything | think the vein
they have concluded to work on will prove the
others, and 1t proves to be rich there are seve-
raj others now discovered that will prove to be
equally SO.

LOCOFOCO MOVES IN NEW YORK.


Through the management of Samm, Bang, g.
Co., and old Major Davezac, the Frenchmen of
New York city held meeting, on Wednesday
evening, and after speech from the old Major
about himself and Gen. Jackson, resolved to sup
port Polk and Dallas. This will scarcely have
the effect to induce the Native Americans of that
city to support the same ticket.
The Slamm, Bang & Co. people have publish
ed "Card," purportlng to be signed by. some
three hundred Native Americans, declaring their
determination to support Polk and Dallas. The
organ of the Natives, the American Republican,
co hoar or sheer piece Of deception. Many of
the persons whose names are attached to the
"Card" are not and never have been members
of the Native American party-others, who are
Native Americans, have come out with declara-
tons that they never signed, or authorized any
one to sign, their names to it-while other por-
tons of the names still are wholly fictitious
The best sign we find that indicates the tri-
umph of Clay and Frelinghuysen in New York
city, is the manifest trepidation and consterna-
ton of Bennett in his last Herald. He predicts
that the Native Americans will unite with and
swallow up the Wing party in the city, giving
Clay majority of some eight or ten thousand,
and thus securing to him the Empire State. He
now admits that Mr.. Clay is very great man,
and thinks it quite possible that he may not have
been so much injured by his friends as to defeat
his electon-though he (Bennett) still seems to
have some hope that the fret returns from Penn
sylvana may be of such nature as to give New
York city and State, and the election, to Polk
and Dallas and Texas
Certainly, the signs from New York all look
well for the success of the Wings.

AN OMEN FOR AMOS!

A tremendous white frost, one of the heaviest
ever known, made it's appearance this morning
the lst of November-the day which opens the
Presidential Ball in Pennsylvania and Ohio-and
we call upon Amos, The self-styled "Hsauen-born,"
he who groaned audibly that his children's SUM
bers should be disturbed by the roar of Wing
cannon in l64O-he who has interpreted SO many
/" Omens" for his party-he who has so long and
venomousy slandered and beled HENRY CLAY,
the philanthropist who found him in poverty and
sickness and took him to his bosom and cherished
and nourshed him, but to be stung by the adder
ngrate-we call upon Amos Kendall to interpret
this frosty, this chilling frosty omen!
A greater, though certainly not a worse, char
acter than Amos Kendall, who "hung on princes
favors" and worked in wickedness to accomplish
base objects, and at last came to see clearly, the
just and enghted end of all his articles, tricks,
receptions, and Vaccinations, thus bemoaned his
fate
This is the state of man; to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day, comes frost, a killing frost;
And,-when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is rpening,-niP his root,
And then he falls as do. have ventured
Like little wanton boys that swim on badders,
This many summers on sea of glory;
But far beyond my depth: my high blown pride
At length broke under me; and now has left me,
Weary, and old with service, to the mercy
OF rude stream, that must forever hide me.
Vain pomp and glory Of this world, hate ye."

they were all that he has ever owned. We ask
