Very Important, by Telegraph and Steamer.


Our authentic news, of very different charac-
ter from that published yesterday, by the organ of
the invaders-and which we could not credit sufli-
GENTLY to issue-shows that General Lopez ha.
been forced to leave his invading army to the
mercy of Cuba, and to take up his quarters
comfortably at Savannah. The attack upon Car
denas is con6rmed-the pillage of the treasury is
very probable, and the flight of Lopez certain
The Pizaro war steamer chased him, and, it is
probable, took the prisoners, heretofore men,
toned as brought into Havana, at Cardenas, in
stead of Yucatan. At all events, thus far, the
defeat and the disaster to the Invaders is the
result we have anticipated. Our teegraphc des-
patch from Savannah is not very clear in its details;
but the prominent facts are explicit enough, are
confirmed by our despatch from Charleston, and
show that the expedition had become dsheartened,
and that the first success was but prelude to des
pair. So much for the great victories which have
been announced TO astonish the credulous. The
money "sent TO the United States" has been
brought here by Lopez himself, who has deserted
his men.
From Washington our intelligence is highly in
teresting. The cabinet have been called together
BY the President, for action. treaty is said
TO exist between Spain and England, and the
danger Of war stares us in the face, if we cannot
stop the insanity and folly Of men.
In the Canadian Assembly, there has been
warm discussion on a change in the character of
the government. The debate was a sharp one,
but the final vote shows majority-and a very
large one-against any organic change.
The news from California, by the Crescent City,
has the aspect as by the last arrival. There
had been many iailures-there were troubles about
the sales Of lands-losses upon merchandise, and
The like, and only hofe that the would be so
propitious as to accelerate business transactions.
Our information is very complete, and viii be read
with deep interest. In the lack Of business, 1t
will be observed, the population had passed much
time in political discussion.

ABOLITION JouRNALs.-There is some interest 10
know the abolitionst journals in this country. We
do not know all of them; but, as people wish to
know some of the prominent ones, will call
attention TO them. There Is the Erening Post,
originally started the leading federal paper of
this city, after that converted into organ of the
democracy next into a busy free soil journal, and,
lastly, into a full blooded abolition organ. Besides
this newspaper, there the Albany alias and the
Everirg Journal, ready for brotheriy love with
Gauison's Libcrdtr and the National Era at
Washing ton. This is pretty strong team; and If
Garrison will only stick TO them, they may become
popular and profitable, when slavery is abolished
in the Southern States.
Singular enough Bryant, who commenced writ
ing poetry in little quario literary journal, many
years ago, at Cambridge, and some of whose early
verses are very smooth and agreeable, has ex-
haustod all the prairies and evening breezes, and
wild fowls, and melancholy days Of New England,
and is now supplying himself with the divine
aillatus in the negro huis of the West Indies. He
viii give fresh color TO his next verses an ebony
polish TO his poems, and We may be prepared for a
great epic on the Eneas Of Ethiopia, or a georgia
on negro agriculture, or an oclogue on social life
in Jamaica, or an idyl on the oilers and oafers of
that island. The subjects arc numerous, and their
treatment might be novel and interesting. Bryant
commenced with full wardrobe of finces, but he
has put piece after another, and worn every
thing out, except his breeches. lie has given
full illustration Of the fact, that no other than
philosophical mind can sustain itself, without re-
sorting TO some second childishness-some one
idcs that absorbs the whole man, and narrows the
universe and its contents to a single point. He is
just fitted TO edit an abolitionist Journal

FUGITVE SLAVE CASE IN STEUBENvILLs,
ALMosT.-We are authorized to state, thal
on last Saturday evening a person from
Wheeling, claiming TO he the agent of John
Hunter, Esq, Of that place, applied TO Judge
Leavitt, the District Judge of the United.
States for the District of Ohio, for the pro-
cess authorizing the arrest of two females,
(the property of Mr.. linieF) who, il was al
legged, escaped from bis service on the 25th
of November. The agent produced compe-
tent proof of the fact that the females in
question were the slaves of said Hunter, and
had escaped from him to the State of Ohio;
but as he had no written authority TO act az
the agent of the escaping slaves, Judge Lea
vitt declined issuing the process. THE
slaves were either known or supposed to be
somewhere in Jefferson county. )-iSieisbea-

NOVEL PROcEEDINGs.-We learn that u.

ored citizen residing at the South End, re-
questlng his presence at the Marshal's office.
The man complied with the desire of Mr..
Devens, aud forthwith waited on his Marsh-
alship, who informed him that lac, Devens,
had bill against Him for woman, who in
"the course of human events" had become
the lawful wife of the South End Citizen
The Marshal stated that the claim was for
S625, the price set upon, and demanded for
the woman whom the colorcd man is accused
of having abducted from slave State, and
afterwards married. Marshal Deyens gave
him, as we understand, until Tomorrow TO
consider the matter, and decide whether he
would pay the ransom demanded, or suffer
the beautiful fugitive law to take its course.

Of Vermont is not ripe for it. This may be
true, aud it should be said with grief But
ho " is such an object to be secured? Most
certainly by calling on the continuity to ex-
anime the subject This is the object Of the
present Review. When the subject shall
have been thoroughly canvassed, as it should
be, and Just views pervade the community,
onr Legislature will doubtless give us such a
law as the case demands Massachusetts Leg

have law equally protective, as soon as we
are ripe for it. We ought, then, to consider
and feel that the guilt of the crying evils,
which attend the rum sales i'll Vermont, rests
in part on every citizen, till ne has taken alt
reasonable measures to secure the preva'
lence Of just views in the community. Let

panied and followed with moral suasion !"

the sales and the drinking, if they tend 20
enrich on the one land, do more to impov-
erish on the other; and as respects both
parties, even independently of pecuniary
considerations, arc morally wrong. Let US
have such law as the case demands, and
let il be well sustained, how many, who are
now or who are soon to be a burhen to tho
tax-paying community, WOULD become aux
iliarics in every useful enterprise. How ma
ny tables would be spread with plenty,
where children are crying for bread. How
many children, who are strollng the streets
in rags and are trained up to prey on the
community, would be clad and seated in tho
school room. How many hearts that arc
borne down with grief would bound with
cxutation. How many, who are now, often
at least, maniacs, would probably sit at the
feet of Jesus clothed and in their right mind.
Let these things be, and who when he irav-
eled abroad would not feel as if he passed
an encomium ou himself, by responding to
an enquirer for his residence, i belong to

We say no more at present. Perhaps at
future day we may call attention to that
part of the report, in which extended quo
tations are made from legal authorities, to
show that dram shops are public nuisance
and should be abatcd as such.
After closing this Review we received the
appeal of Mr.. Warren to the Legislature on
: the subject of the Report which the Assem-

S appeal brings to view still other facts, and is
happily calculated to sustain the reasonings
