JAMES d. HARRow.-Died in this place, on
Thursday night last, JAMES d. HARROW, esq,
for upwards of thirty years the editor of the
Virginia Herald. The Herald is the oldest pa
per in Virginia, and we believe about the second
or third Oldest in the United States. Ii was
established in the last century, shortly we think

century Mr. II. became connected with it, and
several years anterior to owning it he was

Remarkable for taciturnity, he never gave Of

To the Editors Of the american Telegraph

10 the EdatorS OF the American Ietegrdph
GENTLEMEN: In the leading editorial of your
interesting paper of yesterday, you have done
no more than full justice to the position of the
National Intelligencer, Of this city. You are
surprised, Messrs. Editors no doubt, that so
distinguished and able writer as Mr. Gales
proves himself to be on all subjects, has no
affinity of sentiment for struggling liberty in
any part of the world. His voice was raised
loud and lofty against Andrew Jackson, on the
celebrated French Indemnity BIZ. Equally po-
tential did he speak of the injustice done to
Mexico, on Texas and her admission; so, also,
during the late war; and even now, his felloD-
citizens may be shot down in cold blood, and all
his sympathy is still expressed for the rights of
Spain, whose tyranny is carried out by Colo
NAL Governor, in the murder of American citi-
zens. True, they are engaged in desperate
cause, and in a fearful contest; yet, as they
contend for liberty, they should at least have
the good wishes Of Americans that they may be
successful But not so with Mr. Gales all his
good wishes are on the side of monarchy, the
rotten, prostituted monarchy of Spain and her
tyrant Governor. But we trust the liberal press
of the land may follow the example of your
noble Telegraph, and read to Mr.. G. lesson
such as will convince him that, if he has any
sympathy for the monarchy of Spain, he stands
quite alone, as he has done heretofore, in OPP
posing the PRONUNCIATION of the "largest liberty
to the greatest number" In other words, that
the Intelligencer must not be taken as an expo
nent of American sentiment; but as an expo
nent of defence for "kings, lords and commons
and all their pernicious principles, so perse-
veringly adhered to, to Cypress and grind the
people. The writings Of the IntelLigencer tend
to enslave, not to liberalize, the world; tend to
consolidate, not to equalize, governments in
fact for kngly prerogatives, not for the peoples
prerogative of self government.
Yours, LITTLE FALLS.

TELEG RAPHIC.
WASHINGTON, August "a, !

New YORK, August 26.-Another tremendous
gathering of the Cuban sympathizers was held
in the Park tonight. Blankman presided; the
meeting was addressed by Enoch Camp, Thomas
N. Carr, Capt. Rynders and others. The Ian
guage of the speakers was more violent and
exciting than on the previous evening and, as
consequence, the mob was raised to the high
est state of enthusiasm. Banners with bloody
notices were distributed amongst the crowd,
and every means used to increase the feeling
of resentment against the Cuban authorities
Cheers, screams and groans were heard on all
sides, and the latter especially predominated
when the Courier, Express and Tribune papers
were alluded to. One of the speakers, in the
midst of a violent barangue, begged the listeners
to do nothing rashly, and especially deprecated
the attempt to modest the Spanish Consul, as
had been threatened His office" said he,
is at 119 Leonard street, but don't, my
friends, do any thing unlawful"
After his speech the sympathizers formed
procession, headed by band of music, and
proceeded up Broadway, in the direction of
Leonard street, hooting, yelling and threatening
vengeance. The Spanish Consul kept out of
the way, understanding that q coat Of tar and
feathers had been prepared for him in conse-
quenGe of threats directed against La Chronicle,
the Spanish paper. An extra police of three
hundred men has been sta toned there
Later--1O4 p. NAT present all is quiet,
md there are no indications of violence. The
mob has dispersed.
New YORK, Aug 26.--The steamship Florida

A RELIc.-Mr. John Young, of Cincinnati

said to have been the property of Gen. Wash
ington. 1t is of German manufacture, heavy
and coarse in workmanship-very thick and
durable cases--and the inner case is en-
graved &C. W., 1888" 1t is stated that the
watch was given by Washington to a Mr.. Clay
ton, as testimonial of regard. -E1chdnge
We have in our possession copper cent made
in 1888, the same date as above. 1t is thinner
and more brassike than the modern cent and
in artistic execution compares favorably with
them Washington and independence is

4 GEoHGzrowS. August 27-12 m.
This Is the duh season of the year and many
OF our citizens are absent seeking amidst the
luxuries and gaety of the watering places to pass
the August heat with pleasure to themselves
But the late change of temperature in the air
will cause many of them to turn their faces
homeward, and prepare to gather around the
more substantial comforts that home always
presents. --
Owing to the low prices that all grain brings
at this time, our heavy fall trade has not yet
opened-the farmers being unwilling to dispose
OF the "sweat of their brow" at rates one-third
less than they usually command at this season.
am happy to observe, amidst the quiet that
reigns, our fellow-citizen, Peter Berry continues
prosecuting, with activity, his new wharf. He
has now about three hundred hands, with
ploughs and carts, executing their respective
duties, and | hope not many weeks will elapse
before we will have one, if not more, wharves
for our contemplated coal trade.
The packet Delaware left this morning for the
Falls; and the Fashion is expected this after
noon from Cumberland. The latter leaves to-
morrow at 6 o'clock, -p. M, and reaches her
destination on Saturday about the same hour
in the evening, taking forty eight hours for the
passage. Fare through to Cumberland $500,
and board found.
This route think is destined to be much
travelled on account of its cheapness it being
about one-half of that upon the railroad, and
most persons from this District, not pressed for
time, will take it.
