In the new arrangement consummated
at Syracuse, the Old Hunkers have surren-
dered Internationally to the Barnburners.
They have united on resolutions to the
effect that Congress has the power over
slavery in the District of Columbia, and in
the territories, and ought to exercise 1t to
prevent the extension of slavery there.

From the following article which we
copy from the Philadelphia North .ameri-

ton that has not hitherto been made pub

at will be seen from the Havana correspondence,
extracted from the New Orleans Delta, that Gen.
Campbell the American consul, had formerly APP

sence Of vessel of war; To protect the persons and
property of American citizens, in anticipation OF
an apprehended revolution the island Of Cuba.
We have the satisfaction TO inform the public and
all interested in the commerce Of Cuba, that the
Administration took early and precautionary mea-
sures growing out Of the Rey abduction, to afford
every necessary military protection TO our ctizens
and that besides the presence Of the force ordered

Virginia and the Public omoes.

The iron has "'entered his soul.'' The
ex-organ announces, with appropriate notes
of exclamation, the fact that three Vir-
ginians have been removed from the pub
lie employment Alas, for these days of
Wing degeneracy and Taylor misrule
Alas, for the land of the BROKEN
BRoUGHs and DENBYs of the MAsoNs,
the RITcHIEs, and the OsBoRNEs! Alas,
for the elite of the distinguished Democrats
of Richmond! In these evil days no head
is safe from the block. Even the ardent
chivalry of Virginia fall victims in the COM
mon catastrophe.
"As we write" says the Union Of the
10th instant, ga private memorandum has
been put into our hands, which contains
the following ominous announcement. :"
After giving the names of three gentlemen
said to have been removed from the First
Auditors office, the Union says:
20 All virginians! All of them capable officers
and worthy men--all of them decided Democrats,
who dare 10 think for themselves; and knowing
their rights, dare to maintain them!' They have
spirit enough to feel the prescription they have
suffered to testify the Indignation which the Ad
ADMINISTRATION deserves for its violated pledges, and
'the energy and talent to make their prosecutors
srue the wrongs they have suffered"
Before the ex-organ groans much more
over the Virginians who have been turned
out of Office, we hope it will furnish the
American people with list Of the Virgin
ians who still remain in the public Offices,
in the army, and in the navy. We appre-
bend it will be found, on examination, that
the number of Virginians who are quar-
tered on the public treasury is altogether
disproportioned to the population of the
Old Dominion.
'All Virginians!'' And has Virginia any
claim to the monopoly of public employ
ments' Are Virginians entitled to an ex-
ception from removal, beyond their breth-
rem of five and twenty States' Let the
Union take up the Blue Book and the Mary
Register; let it examine the contracts that
have been made in the last four years, and
the expenditure of the Norfolk navy yard,
and inform the country how much of the
public patronage has been bestowed upon
the Locofocos of Virginia. A faithful re-
port of the facts that such an examination
will elicit, will explain the true source of
the groans, tears, and lamentations loud
of the ex-organ. We do not now refer to
the Sweat-house clique, nor their whole
sale depredations on the treasury; but
merely to the public Offices and the public
patronage that have been distributed, under
the forms Of law, among the faithful and
| fortunate Of the Old Dominion.
We imagine that considerable number
of Virginia Locofocos will suffer, before
the Virginia Wings can begin to see any
equalization of the public Offices.

Havana.

The New Orleans Bee Of September has a
letter from Havana, which furnishes some interest
ing information touching the seditious movements
in the island. II appears that at Puerto Principe
the Cantabran regiment had revolted, and pro-
nounccd in favor of General Narcisso Lopez, who,
our readers will remember, escaped some months
ago from Cuba, where sentence Of death had been
pronounced against him, and is now in the United
States. The regiment openly rcbelled, murdered
their colonel, and killed and wounded several of
the officers As soon ne the intelligence reached
Havana prompt means were taken by the captain
general 20 suppress the eneae. large number
of troops consisting Of three battalions Of the Hs
vana regiment, the Battalion de EspaHa, the Mule
artillery, Kings lsncers, and the Rural and Mill
tia cavalry, were forthwith despatched TO Puerto
Principe and Trinidad. All the merchant YES
sells engaged in the coasting trade pressed into
the service and employed in the transportation of
troops. There were no Spanish mcn-of-war in the
port-the only one there, the brig Patrioto, having
been freighted with provisions and ammunition,
and sent off at midnight on the 2nd.
The authorities appeared to consider the affair
very serious and were determined TO crush il in the
bud. Their preparations we're made actively, eS-
tensiyely, and secretly and the public panic is in
creased in consequence of the absence Of correct aud
specific information in relation to the outbreak.
The American press is just now in very bad odor
with the captain general lie has issued decree
interdictng the distribution Of any papers coming
from the United States, excepting La Cr6nica Of
New York. All others are detained in the post
office and burnt.
II was rumored, last evening that the Spanish
consul in this city, had chartered the steamer Gre

were others, doubtless, who joined the
enterprise from an excess of misdirected
ardor No one would desire to see such
persons pursued for penal offence.
When the excitement Of the occasion
passes away, they will, perchance, learn,
that, in this instance, the act of the Gov
eminent was, in so far as they are con-
cerned, an act of humanity as well as of
duty.

In "A letter from the Captain General of Cuba to a
gentleman in the city of New Orleans, allusion is
thus made, says the New Orleans Bee, to the pro-
clamation Of the President:

from the brave soldier who so successfully led his
troops to victory, through enemy's country,
and who, in every advantage, gained an additional
glory by his generosity and mercy"

Anniversary OF the St. Georges Society.

The Sixty-th Anniversary of the ST. Georges
Society," of New York, was celebrated yesterday. At
three O'Clock in the afternoon, the members of the
Society assembled at Trinity Church, when the
annual address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Vim
ton. AS the Society entered the church, volun-
tary was played OH the organ. After which, the
service was read by the Rev. DR.. Varan and Mr.
Robert.
DR. Vnton then assembled the pulpit and delivered
the address He said God, who made the world and
all things that therein, hath made of flesh all
the lions of the world, and commands his
love. So spakc the Apostle St. Paul. at Athens, when
he taught the gospel Of the Lord The people Of that
city celebrated for their works of literature and
art; but lost to the religion which Paul taught.
Their reasonings full Of sophistrytheir worship
of those things which tended the glory God Their
community one OF sensualists and sophists, and
but victims OF Heavens vengeance Such was the peo
pie that Paul spae to; and he taught them that the
God in whom they lived, moved and had their being
was the wkom they should worship Members OF
St. Georges Society though you in foreign land
YOU are a distinct organization. You proud that
you born under the British and claim that

ministry, is what has made tsy constitution strong
and thy people happy The people of that country
joy real freedom The continent of Europe is
vulsed with internal connections, and efforts are
society and change that continent into awful and
huge democracy. They cannot be successful. The
pcriments Of abotionsts in this country and social
lists in Europe have clearly demonstrated that the peo
pie will not submit to the destruction of society by
such connections. The true liberty equality and fra
ternty exists in England; and by the purity of her
people, she will spread abroad, throughout the world
the benefits of christianity In her conflicts, she has
been successful and the Burmahs and the Skhs have
found that the English arm is successful against the
combined powers of heathensm. The Society of St.
George is composed of true Englishmen, and by the
influence of their acts, they will do and have done
great good to their suffering countrymen, who seek
shores.
After the address, collection to aid the funds OF
the Society," taken up The Society then adjourned
to the City Hotel, whore they were to dine.

The ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEXT CoSoREss.

THK ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEXT CoNoREss.
From every indication, the next session Of Con-
gress will be one of the most interesting that we
have ever had, and its proceedings will be watch
ed with great interest. In reference to the course
which will probably be pursued, two questions
suggest themselves to the mind. First, what will
be the tenor of General Taylor's message? and the
second, what will be the relative strength of the
parties
At this early day, it is impossible to predict the
character of General Tayor's first message, and
we think it is not improbable that the subject has
not yet engaged the attention Of the adminlstra-
ton. The President and the Cabinet have been
so much harrassed by cliques and coeries of Office
beggars, that they have not had leisure to make
out programme of the government for the ensu
ing four years; but, the loaves and fishes
are distributed among the hungry applicants, we
may expect the constitutional advisers of the Pre-
sdent to direct their attention to the affairs of the
nation and to draw up plan of operations for the
future In relation to the relative strength of the
two great parties, there is also doubt-at least, as
far as the House of Representatives is concerned
In the Senate there will be democratic majority
but the complexion of the House will depend upon
the result of the ensuing fall elections
The following is list Of the States in which
elections will be held between this and the meeting
of the next Congress, commencing with Virginia,
which State will hold her election to-day -

FORREST AND MAcREADY, AGAIN.-We give, in
another part of today's paper, third letter from
Mr.. Forrest, on the subject of his difficulty with
Mr.. Macready. Although the public take very little
interest in this quarrel, they will be glad to observe
that the tone of this last document is much more
dignifed than was that of the preceding two
epstles.
Mr.. Forrest commenced an engagement at the
Broadway theatre last evening" and was received
with good deal of enthusiasm, besides being hon
ored with full house Mr.. Macready, we under
stand, will soon make his appearance at the Astor

WILL therefore, have the privilege of bestowing
