Hon. Elisha WhittIeSey,

We find in the Courant of Monday, the following letter from the Hon. Elisha WhittlesAy to a gentleman in Hartford :; My Dear .Sir--I received last week a number of the Connecticut Coarant prin ted on the 5th of July. In commenting on Dr. Bushnell's Speech for Connccti- cut" the editors were pleased to speak favorably of my services in Congress, but in regard to the place of my birth they say, though not born within the limits referring to New Preston Society," twas the son of a man born and educated there."
 The error is of no importance, except as to the accuracy of history. I was born in New Preston, near the Shepaug river, on the l 9th of October, l783. My father, John Whittlesey, moved to Sal isbury in l792. My road to school, more than mile in distance, was over as bleak hill in winter, as it was in that parish. The north east wind was en, countered every day, regardless of snow or rain. If you see the editors, you can mention their mistake if you think pro- per. Most sincerely and respectfully
 Yours, ELISHA WHITTLEsEY.

Ourhishly respected fellow citizen, Hen- ry Starr, Esq, died at Burlington, Iowa, on Sunday evening last, after short but severe illness. He had been absent from the city several weeks, journeying through Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota, and had re- turned to Burlington. where he had a severe attack of bilious fever which proved fatal.

HAVANA. Monday Sept. l l95

After having defeated and wasted away, the Spanish forces sent to capture him, Gen. Lopez worn out in the struggle, has been obliged to succumb-the Creoles not hayi ag lifted hand to sustain him-contin-: ually promising, but never coming to the work Having commenced with so much spirit their redemption from bondage, it was supposed that after the landing of their friends had been effected, and such noble battles fought against the whole strength of the army in this vicinity that they would not have hesitated; but they have nerve for lOve-none for war.
 Gen. Lopez was to have been execute d this morning a, o'clock-by the garrots captured by Creole in the mountains after being worn out by sickness and contin- ued exposure-and in consequence of the operation of the partial pardon offered by the Government to those would come in --chains for life in Africa. in lieu of death. K This community is in much excitement owing to the treatment of Spaniards in New Orleans, and our connirymen are not regarded with much favor.

IMPORTANT FROM GEN. LOPEZ

The New York Express of the Sd says, We received a telegraphic dispatch from Washington last night, from an au- thority whose source of information is indisputable, giving us some intelligence as to the whereabouts of Genernl Lopez which may be implicitly relied upon.
 At 5 o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) af- ternoon, the government at Washington were put in possession of advices six hours from New Orleans, 10 the effect that up to the 25th ult, Lopez had been able to maintain himself, but with very reduced force. Hs Aad 1aot been ioined by single Creole, and his prospects gen. erally were of the most desperate char acter. What fighting he had done, was personal struggle for his own life and for the lives of the few followers still re- maining with hi:n-not for Me Cubans nor tor e Cuban revolution.
 We learn further that, the newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding, no endorsements whatever have gone from New Orleans, and Done will go, if there is any virtue in the Army and Navy ofthe United States.

For Me Enquirer. Our Newly TranSplanted Trees.

l observe that very large proportion of those young trees that were set out in our village, especially of those in North street, were either dead at the opening of the spring, or have died during the summer; and many of those that are now alive will probably die before the autumn shall close. This is certainly unfortunate. Better that the trees remain in the woods, than that they be transpianted only to die. It is also discorraging to those who are inclined to cultivate them.
 But is such result necessary :? Shal, we abandon the hope of success Ian swer decidedly, No. The result in this case is just what was for etold, and just what may always be exp ec:ed in like cir cumstances. Suggested my fears to those engaged in transphntiae, but the apswer, |, so characteristic, was such as to satisfy me that they knew far better than did, (at least in their owa estima,ion.) Very ell, experience is a thorough teacher, though sometimes dear one and it will probably prove such in this case to both parties. l have said, such result is not necessary. A loss of ten per cent of the trees set out, would. ordinarily, be large, while here is a loss of thirty or forty per cent. Several circumstances should always be taken fato consideration in the lransplanting of trees, none of which appear to have been very carefully weighed in the present case. viz the nature of the soil, the comparative size of the trees, the season for transplan,ing, |, 3'c. But close. lest should again be cons. sidered obtrusive. l..

Abandonment of Col. Crittenden.

The more we reflect on the melanchoI- ly fate of the fearless and chivalrous Crittenden and his devoted associates, the more lost in wonder and astonishment we become; for neither in conversation with intelligent citizens, nor with militia ry authorities, can we find an excuse or palliation of the assertion of his rear guard by Lopez.
 On Sunday, says Adjutaat Stanford, we landed. and on the following morning Lopez, with Pragay and all the cons manding officers, left us. We heard no more of him for two days,' says the lets ter of the deceased officer, when Colonel 0. dispatched him a note.
 Two days had elapsed, and Lopez gave no intimation of his position to his rear guard. nor did he, although his com munication was clearly open, until the Colonel dispatched him note. We say his communication was clearly open. for were it otherwise, the correspondence referred to could not have taken place. Lopez then ordered colonel 0. to join "''h ""u hiS So'Htp"ttu3 Dut lI NoeS HUI appear, nor can it be inferred from the Adjutant's letter, that any guides were sent to explore the way, or to apprise him of his proximity to hostile force, overwhelmingly great.
 Can any one explain why this was so; or why the elite of Lopez's force should have been left behind with the baggage, constantly exposed to surprize, and cut off from all aid from the main body <? If this was not the result of design, as poor Cook clearly believed when he wrote his last letter. it establishes against Lopez an incompetency, an ignorance of militia ry affairs, that would disgrace the merest militia tyro, and for which he ought to dismissed from the service.
 The veil is slowly rising, and ere many more days roll over, the plot and the plotters, who have most cruelty deceived and destroyed as brave and true hearted a body of men as ever embarked in an enterprise of freedom, will be exposed to the public gase.-N. o. True leltq.

End of the Cuban Invasion :!

Execution of Lopez, &c. - The mail steamer. Empire city, from Havana, ar> rived at Now York at 6aturday- after noon last, bringing most important intel ligence from Cuba. She left Havana on the lst inst; that place had then for three days been the scene of jubilee and rejoicing, owing 10 the capture of Gener- al Lopez and his force.
 The history of the unfortunate expe- dition may be thus briefly summed up:
 The conquest and ultimate annexation of Cuba seems to have long been the cherished purpose of certain leading men at the South, headed by Governor Quit man of Mississippi. Some months since an attempt was made to start an expe- dition similar to that which has just now terminated. but it was promptly storped by the interference of our Government
 On the 7th of August last, the Pam pero sailed from New Or leans for Cuta having on board 46O men under the command of General Lepez; General Pragay of the Hungaria army: Colonel William Crittenden of Kentucky. grad- uate of West Point, and a nephew of the Attorney General of the United States i; Colonel Clendenen. and others. On the night of the llth, they all landed at Morrilla, on the island, where they met with little opposition. Having left 200 men under colonel Crittenden in charge of the baggage and provisions. the re, maindcr of the soldiers uuder Lopez ad- vanced to Las Pozas. which town they found abandoned. the people all along his route having fled before them. The next day Lopez was attacked by the Spanish troops, who were repulsed, and he was left in command of the place in this engagement Lopez had about fifty men killed and wounded among the latter. General Pragay. Finding they did not meet with the expected aid of the people and the troops, the revolu~ tionists determined to take to the noun tains. On their way thither, they were again attacked by the troops, who killed six and wounded fourteen, leaving less than a2o men with Lopez. With these he passed to Brujo, where they spent the night, and the next morning went to Martitorepa. where they were surprised while at breakfast, by the Spanish troops, and completely dispersed. Over one hundred secreted themselves in the for est, one third of them without arms, where they remained for four days with no food but the Generals horse, some corn, and wild plaintains.
 Lopez was taken in the interior. wan dering alone-nearly exhausted from fa- tigue and hunger. He asked for some- thing to eat at rm-house, and per- mission to lie down; while asleep he was bound and made prisoner. Of his fol lowers, l55 are now imprisoned and are to be sent to Spain for tenyears confne-
 ment in dungeon. The remainder of the party have either been shot or they perished from hunger.

General Enna, the bravest officer in the Cuban army, was killed while lead> ing charge at the head of small squadron of cavalry. He was second in Concha. At that charge, every man was Shot down.
 Lopez was garrOted on Monday morn- ing, September l, at ' o'clock, in the presence of 5000 troops and as many citizens. He asccnded the platform with a firm and steady step. Facing the mul- titude, he addressed them as follows:
 Ny Countrymen Pardon me for the evil, if any, have caused you. have not intended any evil. but your good rather. Farewell, dear Cuba.
 He then took his seat the machine was adjusted; at the first twis: of the screw, his head dropped forward-and he was dead
 The fate of Crittenden's men is well known. Being attacked by a superior force, they fled into the woods; from thence, 55 of them put out to sea in small boats, were captured and shot.
