The CUBAN NEws.-The direct and western
telegraph lines to New Orleans are both out of
order, and have been so for eleven days, ex-
cepting part of one day last week.
1t appears that the Spanish Consul at New
Orleans claimed the protection of the American
flag, and was therefore placed in Jail as place
of greatest safety. A despatch to the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, dated New Orleans, August %,
says:
The Empire City brought the remains Of
Colonel Crittenden (nephew of Attorney General
Crittenden) and Captain Victor Kerr, who were
80 inhumanly murdered by the Spanish govern
ment at Havana to this city. A deep feeling
of awe pervades the whole community. Thou
sands of people endeavored to get sight of the
collins containing their dead bodies. This gave
rise to the sudden outbreak last night Minute
guns have been fired since sunrise in honor of
the murdered Liberators
"The attack on the office of the Spanish
Consul was caused by a report (,ohich is I'm
doubleday true) that he received by the Empire
City letters from some of the murdered Ameri-
cans and refused to give them up when de-
manded by their friends"
The fifty men who were executed, it is said
by one account, were engaged in flank move
ment in conjunction with Lopez, when they
were captured by the steamer Habanero.

Tidings have been received in this city Of
the death of the Honorable JAMES MCDOWELL,
late Representative in the Congress of the
United States from the eleventh district of Vir-
ginia. He died at his residence near Lex

beloved in the walks of private life his district
and State were ever proud to honor him and
in the councils of the nation his voice was ever

CUBAN NEWS LOOKED FoR.-All the news
papers we receive have g additional items" CON
corning Cuba. We are less fortunate, and con-
tinue to look forward with painful apprehen-
sions for further authentic accounts. That
Lopez and his companions have been foied we
feel very sure; that they have been taken pris-
oners is probable and if So that they have
been put to death in the most cruel manner,
and without due course of procedure, is GER
tain.
The New York Herald has a Havana letter,
dated the 18th, in which it is stated that the
pilot of the Spanish steamer Pizarro, Gin ia
KING her into Bahia Honda, happened to get her
aground at the entrance Of the harbor As
soon as she struck, the commander, or the Off
Ger in command of the troops, drew his sword,
and split the pilots head open at one blow, and
report says killed him instantly. In endeavor-
ing to back the vessel off, some part of the en-
CINE gave out. The engineer was Immediately
put under arrest, and it is believed that he has
been shot. The ship is now a wreck, as there
came on heavy blow, and report says she
bilged."
All we can say to this is, that the story is
very probable.

Mates ~ Postage under the New Law.
TO The EDITOR THE HERALD
Ths new postage Law, which goes into operation
on the LIST Of July next, i complicated and myst
fed that it would pussle Philadelphia lawyer to
determine exactly the rates Of letter and newspaper
postage and more especially the rates to be charged
on transient newspapers and other printed matter
At the request Of some of our publishers, pre-
pared synopsis Of the rates Of postage, as under
stand the law, and sent copy Of il to the Post
master General, to be supervised by the Post Office
Department. but ! have received reply to my
request. Indeed, very much doubt, from what
have heard, whether they understand themselves
what their own law MEANS for il must be recollected
that the substitute for the bill, which passed the
House, was prepared by the Postmaster General and
his assistants, AS stated several times by Gen. Rusk
in the Senate.
The Postmaster of San Francisco, who left here
. few days since, told the writer OF this that he
could not tell whether the postage 10 California
to be twenty or six cents on a single letter; and
that be had applied to the department for informa-
ton on the subject, and told that the question
would be submitted to the heads of the bureaus for
their decision. Strange that law should be SO
framed that the trainers themselves cannot inter-
~stt
nate, and Durkee of the House, AT the first session
Of the last Congress, been adopted, all would have
been plain. simple, and uniform. Two cents
prepaid on letters, one cent on newspapers" and
Zone cent an ounce al printed matter, allowing
publishers fifty per cent discount II they were dis
posed to prepay the postage"--these rates would
have been satisfactory, easily understood. and
would hare yielded, in two years, ample revenue to
meet the ordinary expenses of the department.
POSTAGE on LETTERS.
Letters are to be charged fgee cents prepaid, and
fys cegds II not, on every half ounce under 1000
miles, and double those rates that distance.
Drip letters cent each, and aaeetiset letters only
cwe r,u in addition to the regular postage.
"a letter when conveyed wholly or in part by
sea, rs TO or from foreign country over !, 500
miles, tus,ry cents; and under $50, tea cents,
cept all cases where the hostages have besn shall
be adjusted at different rates by postal treaty OF
convention"
Let Us contrast the rates Of postage under the
new law with those under the old aud the pres mi
kaw:-
