STATEMENT OF THE OFFICERS

To all who may be concerned, be it
known, that the undersigned, officers of the
Llberating Army Of Cuba, being DESTROYS of
rendering Gen. Don N. Lopez, commander.
ln'cllief OF said army, the amplest Justice, do,
freely and voluntarily, make the following
statements of events and facts, viz;
Attic time of embarking on the Isle of
Women, where we wen to join Colonel
OHara, and remained there some time for
the purpose of filling our water casks, Gen.
Lopez, on learning that some men were dis.
pleased with the object of the expedition, is.

that were unwilling to follow him, could re.

ions and all necessaries for the voyage. In
accordance with that order, some thirty men

landing TO be discovered by the people of
The town and reported to the Governor, who
immediately ordered the garrison under

and the town. Gen. Lopez, knowing that
there were some enemies around the town,
and having to send the teamer water and
coal necessary for her return to some nor,

a pamphlet copy Of the Address of the Southern
members of Congress, in relation to the estab-

be delightful.
The Southern paper is bound TO get a great
number of subscribers among us, 1t is neither

will be moderate. Those who wish TO SUBJ

their post-ofice, to the member from the Dis

be a good plan to make subscription lists out,

CALIFORNIA o SLAvERY.--The
West Tennessee Wing, noticing the
arrival of a gentleman in Jackson from
the gold mines Of California, says /:
this gentleman says hal one man out
often, in Calilornia. never saw the late
Constitution which they have adopted |;
and that IN his opinion there is a large
majority of the present population of
Gaiitornia In favor of negro slavery.
~ think this tale very likely /; for thou
sands and thousands of those who are
now in that State, are there hunting
gold, aud have no idea of making il
their home, therefore have taken no
trouble to inform themselves in regard
to the provision Of the Constitution Of
California"

MR.. FOOTE.

In common with every true Southern man
we. are surprised at the course taken by Mr.
Foote on this Compromise Report. He, after
all OF his opposition to the same measures pro.
posed in other fo~rms-after, in a letter signed
by himself and his colleagues in Congress to
Governor Quitman, declaring that the admis-
sion Of California would IMPURE, and be dis.
graceful to the South-he, Mr.. Foote, after
going 'farther than the fartllest"-after lea
ding his friends, proud of the gallant spirit he
displayed lin defending the South, to fear that.
IN his honorable enthusiasm for the rights of
his State and for Southern institutions, he
would endanger his person,-Mr. Footc. we
say, the mereiless lasheT of MIR. Seward. the
dangerous opponent of Abolitionism and Free
Soilism, the mortal terror Of MIR. Benton,-Mr.
FoorE has for the good Of his country, 10 save
1t from disnnion and confusion, urged on by
his phlanthrOpic, his kind, benevolent heart.
done that for which he doubtless deplored the
sad necessity--has gone in favor ofthe North.
Like high-mettled courser brought to contend
for the prize on the race course, he champs his
bit his eye CLEANS like a furnace, his neck
arches, he losses bis head, fakes Of snowy
foam fly to glisten on his snowy coat. and his
name floats wildly, He rears and rushing

CIRCUIT COURT.

The Circuit Court for our County common
ced its Spring Term yesterday, Judge WILEY
P. HARRIS, of Monticello, presiding, Judge
Posey having exchanged with him. Judge
Harris has been with us before. and gained the
esteem Of every one-we know of no excep-
tion-by his amiable dignity and good ability.
A pleasant term is therefore anticipated.
The State Docket will be small, though we
regret to say that Mr.. HICKS, our excellent
District Attorney, will not be altogether unem-
ployed. Alas for the poor lawyers, though +;
there arc only forty-two cases on the Appear
ance Docket, One could sigh for the good old
times when more than a hundred cases could
be assigned as the share of one lawyer, if it
were not for the reflection that it would be
the evidence of a diseased state of the public
prosperity.
Judge Harris having delivered his charge
to the Grand Jury, and some other p~relimina.
having been arranged, Court was adjourn
ed until 8 O'Clock, this morning. The names
Of the Grand Jury are as follows:

men learned in the law, and familiar
with the abstruse readings OF the Con-
s~titution. u will be done deliberately,
and after full reflection. IL will not be
done BY adventures on the shores Of
the Pacific, who seem 10 know bat ht-
lie Of our Constitution or laws, and 10
care less for our rights.
Ihaye heard it said that il will be
dangerous to reject the application G.
California for admission INTO the Union.
Already she is threatening 10 set mp for
herself, and il we reject her she will
withdraw her application and estab>
lish herself ms an independent Republic
on the Pacific. Let her try IT,. W.
have been told that if the South refuse
TO sub nit 10 the calling insults and out
rageous wrongs of the North, the Presi-
dent will call out the naval and militia
~ power of the nation, and reduce rs
to submission. When California as
serts her independence, and sets up her
Republic on the Pacific, we shall see
bow quick the President will be to use
this same military and naval force, in
bringing her back to her allegiance.
These threats have no terrors for me.
As | could respect the reckless and
bold robbcr who, uImasked, presents
bis pistol and demands my money or
my life, above the petty, but expert
%pickpocket, who looks oomplaisantly in
my face while he steals my purse.-so
can | respect the dashing. and dare
devil impudence OF the Wilmot provi.
so, which robs the South and takes the
responsibility, above the little, low,
cunning, sleight-oEhand scheme, which
robs us Just as cifectually, and leaves
us wondering how the trick was per-
formed.
So long as | remain in your service,
fellow-citizens, | will present you faith.
fully, according TO my best judgment.
In great emergencies like this, | feel
the need Of your counsel and support.
II would give me pain, if any important
vote of mine should fail to meet your
appreciation. Whilst | shall never fol-
low blindly any mans lead, nor suffer
myself to be awed BY any general out
cry, | confess myself not insensible to
the applause OF my countrymen. In a
great crisis like the present, men must
act, responsibility must be taken, and
he is not Gt to be trusted who stops in
the discharge of his high duties to
count his personal costs.
cannot vote for Mr.. Gays oompfo-
mise bill. With very essential changes
and notifications, | might be recon
ciled to its support. These | have no
hope of obtaining, and ! therefore ex.
pect to vote against it. Like the fatal
Missouri compromise, it gives up every
thing and obtains nothing; and like
that and all other compromises with
the North, it will be observed, and its
provisions maintained, just so long as
it suits the views OF northern men to
observe and maintain them, and then
they will be unscrupulously abandoned.
1t will give me great pleasure to find
myself sustained BY my constituents, in
the votes intend to give. My head,
my heart, my every thought and i'm.
pulse admonish me that | am right, and
cannot doubt or hesitate.
