sells" and other "parsiss Of patriots hover

the only vessel that has been named. Yet
since no secresy has been made OF her name,
there seems no good reason v hy the names
of the others, if there are any should not be

The following is an extract, by telegraph
/ from Charleston, of letter dated Cardenas,
May 90.
"Gen. Lopez, accompanied by about 500
men, landed a, this place, from the steamer
Creole, between 2 and 3 o'clock, on tie
morning Of the 9th Of May, Sunday
Alter short struggle with the few troops
,atoncd here, they took possession of the
town, and en besieged the house of the
Governor aad met good resistance. They
set fire to his house. lie was consequent
ly forced either to give up or to be burned
to death. The invaders kept possession of
the town until yesterday, when they left
about o'clock, carrying with them our
Governor, one or Two officers, besides the
money they had stolen from the p-blic
treasury. They had a second action with
II The troops before leaving and several were
| killed on both sides. This unfortunate oc-
currunce has caused momrnlary check in
| business.
ll ave have no, received any letters for
i the past TWO days, because as soon as the
invading band arrived they took possession
/ of the rail roads cars, and engines, and il is
said sen men up the country to tear up the
/ rails. The invaders did not molesi the n
habi,an's, although nearly every ore took
refuge on board the shipping in The harbor.
We trust that by to-mnrrow evening tran
/ guilty will be restored and the business of
the town 60 on as usual.
|. ave open our letter to advise you Of Il e
sale arrival of our Governor, with the two
officers captured by Lopez. Near PEI
pieda they fell in with a fishing, smack, and
it is said that Lo ez og'eed to put them on
board on condition tha, the Governor wuu.d
use his ihfnence to save the lives of those
left behind Five of Lopez's gang are now
I in the stocks"
On the arr"a Of the Creole at Key
/ West. the collector of the port sent an
officer on board and seized her for violating
The laws of the United States. The men
on board are still there, and will probably
be secured by naval force. 1t is reported
that the Pizarro seized a barque and brig,
and found on board letters and papers cx
is also reported that fifty of the Span sh
troops aud thirty of the inhabitants were
killed at Cardcnas,
On Saturday night General Lopez and
his aid were arreslVd at Savannah by the
United States MARSHAL says the Courler's
correspondent, and carried before Judge
c,emett prevailed and the Court Room vas
crowded. They we're discharged. ii is sd d
for lack of evidence agali ST them A large
crowd conduc,ej him to his lodgings at the
\ City I,otrl, where he made a speech and
declared his resolution to re sst IN his
eu,er2rize. He left Savannah Yesterday
\ morning fer Mobile.
Il Aud this, for the pfcscnt at least, is
the end OF this piece of consumma,e wick
cdness and f.lIy. General Lopez and his
/ five Il ludred bandilti creep into small
port, land a, a small village, attack The jail
mislak ny it for the barracks, plumber the
Il public treasury, murder some of the in
hab,an's, and then run away to save THEN
lives. VINO could have supposed, after
the loud Boosting and Ligh flown Ian
guage of certain papers, that the " eX-
pedlion to revolu,ionize Cuba was in lis
purpose so dishonorable, in force and va or
so contemplate, and would be in lis resull 5
so inglorious! Surely the public will at
length learn tn, value of such inflated an
nouncements
We share, in common with others of our

General Lopez was discharged by the Dis
trc, Court at Savannah. We shall pro-
badly hear more about that, howe'er
hereafter We cannot doubt that the
Government, of the United Sta'es will vim
dica,e its honor IN this matter. Neither
is it improbable that the m n, numbering
600, who found the reception " too warm
\ which sixty men, and they, taken by sur
prise and in The dead of The night, gave
them, have left behind some of their com
rades to feel the vengeance OF an Outraged
government. We opine, too, that we shaI
henceforlh hear little abou, the universe
sympathy Of he Cubans with the invaders
and their " readiness almost to a mn? IL
