IL The Richmond Enquirer thus speaks Of
Thomas H. Benton:
THOMAS H. BrsroS.-Amidst the gloom that
hangs over the settlement of the only question
that can seriously shake the Union, there 10 one
bright sign to which al true Democrats can look
with satisfaction and pride. The star Of Benton
is rapidly sinking to the Nadir, and before the
Ides Of August, his political fate will have been
sealed Just reward for his usleyolencs and
passion and for an overweening, hnholy snbi-
ton which has led him to tTaducs the best men
in the country and to betrsy his own native
South. MANY months since, in attacking the
Southern resolutions Of the people Of Accotnac
he brought our humble selves within the range
of his aTduebuss. We took the defensive and
lin time carried "the war into Africa, not with.
out some little effect, we hattsr ourselves. Th.
true Democracy Of Missouri have appreciates
our efforts. and, in the whole State Of Virginia
we do not know one man who does not loatht
the name Of Benton, though he at one time wor
the gratitude Of the Democratic party for hii
services to the cahse. The change is easily ex'
planned. His fsctiotis course on the Texas ques-
tion shook public confidence in hin. President
Polk had honorsd him far beyond his deserts, yeI
Benton turned the sting Of his ingratitude on the
fair name Of that great and good statesnah.-
Thi, served to disgust the body of the Detnoc.
racy. But his objectionable sin was the deser-
tion and betrayal of the South in the hour Of hef
need. No plausible appeal can serve him. as .
,hift-ho senseless and hypocritical cry Of "di;-
iunion'' against ihe best friends Of the Union,
can save him from the burning indignation Of the
people or resciie him from the political abyss
into which he is now rapidly sinking. Like an
other Arnold, his name will be bescon.warn-

SAVANNAH. Ca. Nav 3. 1O A. M.


The Isabel from Havana, with dates of the
22d, touched off this port to-day, and reports:
Gen. Lopez, accompanied by one of his aids
J. SencheZ Senega, took lodgings at the City
Hotel, and from him we learn the following
intelligence.
The expedition left Contoy in Yucatan, on
the 10TH and landed at Cardinals on the 10Th.
They lost some time in landing, which gave
time to the citizens TO send an express into
the post office of Colossus ten miles distant.
The invaders entered the town and attacked
the Jail, supposing il to he the barracks; the
| Jail guard. consisting OF fifteen men, stood
the fire we'll AT this moment the troops
were seen crossing the square, and were hail
ed, and answered by firing upon the troops,
after which the same soldiers went to the
| Governors house, which was attacked The
hoase was well defended and was finally
| burnt.
The troops surrendered themselves, and
the town remained in the peaceable possess
sion Of the invaders The troops being dis
satisfied with their manner of reception, and
having lost time in getting the wounded and
| fuel on the steamer Creole, which was to re-
| turn for reiuiorcements became dlsheartened,
and insisted on going to Key West; they
were closely pursued by the Spanish war
steamer Pizarro, but happily escaped.
Just before the Ohio left the Spanish
steamer Pizarro came in with 1O5 prisoners.
It's SAID they were mostly German and Irish,
and that they were to be shot that day at 10
A. M, or at least one out Of every ten, and
the remainder to be incarcerated in Moro
Castle
In the despatch of yesterday, the report
of the taking of Cardinas was enormously
given. The garrison of Cardinals consisted
Of 90, and not 600 men.

Further News from Cubn.

Byrelerence to our Geographic dispatches,
our readers may gain additional news to that
already given them, from Cuba. Affairs on
the Island begin TO assume rather a serious
character for those engaged the INVASION
We never had full reliance in the success of
the enterprise, and the news given in the
Journal this morning. strengthens the proba-
biliiies of its fatal defeat. The intelligence
received so far has been somewhat conflicting,
but still of IA nature to justify the belief that
the expedition has been met with an over
towering and disastrous opposition. Intelli-
pence of this movement shall be cautiously
noticed by US, and the result of our observa-
tons given the readers of the Journal at the
earliest possible time.

RThe editor of the Keosauqua Jefferso-
Rian is waging war on the custom among Ia
dies Of wearing heavy wells. He says it is a
great annoyance to a gentleman to be address
ed by female in the street, whom he cannot
recognize on account of her close veil, and
consequently cannot determine whether she be
white or black. We do hope that editor has
not, in mistaken moment, been extending
his de Orsay courtesies to lady of the sable

The Subjects.

The Subjects.
The invasion of Cuba is a subject calling
to itself the eager attention of the American
people. 1t is an event in the history of that
Island fraught with Importance, and the eyes
of the people are diligently watching each
sign of success or failure. This a theme for
extensive speculation.
The attention of the people is not entirely
diverted from Europe, especially from the
Republic Of France. The signs of the times
indicate another revolution in political affairs.
The bitterness between the conflicting par
ies of that country is every day increasing in
its strength, and it is becoming evident that
the.day when violent demonstration will be
made against their present government, is
not far distant.
The Nicaragua question has been settled,
and we have the authority of the correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia North American for
giving the following as its leading features:-
l. Guaranteeing protection and neutrality for
the opening of a canal thro' the Isthmus.--
2. StipulatiOns against any occupancy in
Central America by the English. 3. Guar
antees independence to Central America
4. Requires all nations to concur in the guar
antee, and pay equal tolls before using the
canal. 5. Requires Great Britain to guar
antee any other route for a railroad or canal
which shall be discovered.
California is exciting less attention among
us. There is no longer that magic in the
word which held so many in the extacy ofen
chanted spells. The 'late and important
news" from that country does not create SC
great a sensation as it did when visions o.
that golden land first broke upon u.s.
Among the mass the neope, the interes
upon this great topic is abahng.
The Compromise Committee have made
their report. An uncertain feature in ou
political affairs has made its appearance, ant
various are the coniectures as to its ultimate
fate. The Compromise is exciting full atten
ton throughout the Union, and each politi
clan is watching with irrepressible emotion

self the privilege of abusing our country. its

that chastisement which he so richly merited

noticed this disgraceful scene, followed the
impudent scamp to the Battery. On observ-
