The telegraph Of this morning announces the
death of of the most eminent citizens OF the Re-
publc-the Hon. Levi Woodbury., Of New Hamp-
shire He died at Portsmouth, on the 4th instant,
where he had suffered for long while, the pub
lie have been informed under a painful disease.
1t Is only few days since that we chronicled the
suicide of his brother, Luke Woodbury..
MIR. Woodbury. was born at Francestown, New
Hampshire, about the year 1870, graduated
with high reputation for scholarship at Dart
mouth College in 1909 and was admitted to the bar
in 1872. He practised his profession with dlstin-
guished success, and rapidly to high rank In
1t. When the Democratic party acquired the as
cendancy in the State, in 1916, he was appointed
Secretary Of State; and, at the commencement oi
the next year, judge of the superior court In
1919 he removed to Portsmouth, the commercial
capital of New Hampshire, where he resided the re-
mainder of his life with the exception of the inter
vals when his official duties called him to Wash
ington.
Mr.. Woodbury. was elected Governor of New
Hampshire in 1922, and in 1925 Senator of the
United States. His in the Senate was one oi
usefulness to the country and OF distinction to him
self His habits of application and ability as a
speaker no less than the fact that he represented
| the Democracy of New England, gave him great
influence in the National Councils. 1t was this
that induced General jackson to appoint him Sec
retary of the Navy in 1881, and subsequently, or
| the rejection of Mr.. Taney by the Senate, Secre
| tary of the Treasury.
| He continued in the Office till the close OF Mr.
| Van Buren's Presidency, when he resumed HI;
seat in the Senate. During the administration o
| Mr.. Polk he appointed one OF the judges o.
| the Supreme Court, and had Withdrawn from the
| more active scenes of political life
| Asa public man, Judge Woodbury. was exceed
| ingly diligent, methodcal, and circumspect Dur
ing the time in which he held the place of Secreta
ry of the Treasury, he caused an Immense mass o
statistics important to the finances and commerce
of the country, to be collected and digested, and

Ruinored Defeat and Capture Of Gouernor Gaines's
Parin-Saftfy Of the Point oxford Party.
By the arrival of the barqus Louisiana and the
steamship Columbia at San Francisco we have
dates from Oregon TO the 22d July.
rumor prevailed at Astoria ut the time Of the
sailing of the Louisiana which awakened fears for
the safety of Governor Gaines and party, who,
when last heard from, were at crossing of Rogues
river They had been in pursuit Of Indians, and,
Il reported had been surprised and captured by
an overwhelming force.
The troops in the hostile Indian country, under
General Lane, had had several skirmishes with
the Indians at last accounts, and succeeded In
driving them into the mountains, killing forty or
fifty. and wounding large number. None of his
men were killed, snd but few OF them wounded
About thirty prisoners had been taken, who, IN
charge of Major kearny, had been marched into
the country.
II was thought that the Indians were not disposed
90 give further battle, and Gen. Lane had gone
into the mines, breaking up his camp. He was
expected to return TO the river settlements in few
weeks
The principal feature of the Oregon intelligence
is an account of the safety Of Capt Kirkpatrick
and the party under his command, who were re-
ported TO have been missed from Point Oxford, un-
der circumstances justifying suspicion that they
had been murdered by the Indians

TINE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the

to construct on this turnpkea Plank Road, running
from the city boundary Seventh street TO the line
of the District and Montgomery county, Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue netD stock to the
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of hcenty
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
TO solicit and receive subscriptions to the same.
Books are now open at our utnce for the purpose.
Fire dollars each share is to be paid at the time
of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid
The advantages of such road to the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road, must be
apparent TO all conversan with its situation. There
is but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst of fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part of
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portation Of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
tDhere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
crcasing the trade in the places through which
they pass
A considerable portion Of the stock has already
been subscribed
Holders of the old stock in the company are enti-
tied TO share Of stock for every tpo shares
of the old, which will be issued to them on surren-
der Of the old certificates The new road will pro-
ready for travel. The cost will be less than Sl5,-

than five per cent the first year after ii finished,
and the dividends will steadily increase.

late an hour to be made available to-day.
Havana has been the scene Of jubilee and reloic-

General Lopez and his forces
The news reached Havana on the 3Oth ult. AS a
demonstration OF the effect il produced, flags were
hoisted, guns fired, sc. AT night the principal
buildings were illuminated, torch light professions
formed, &c.
Lopez was taken in the interior. wandering
alone, and nearly exhausted from fatigue and hum
ger. He asked for something to eat at a farm
house, and permission to lay down. While asleep
he was bound and made prisoner.
OF his followers, over hundred are now inn
prisoned in Havana, and are to be sent to Spain Tor
ten years confinement in dungeon
They say their sufferings before they were taken
were intense For several days they lived upon
the leaves of trees, &c. The last meat they ate
was the horse OF General Lopez. They had no arms
when taken The remainder have either been shot
or they have perished from hunger.
Captain Platt, of the Albany, visited them In
prison and gained some in nteresting accounts, which
he will despatch TO the States.
The st1 yners Habanero, Almandares, Plzarro,
and Isabella Cathoca, were on Sunday despatched
to Bahia Honda and Mariel TO bring up the troops,
preparatory 10 the execution OF Lopez.
The loss of Spanish troops is two thousand. In
every engagement they were defeated.
Gen Emma was killed at the head of an advancing
column. He was the second officer TO Concha.
Lopez garotted on the morning OF Sept. let,
at Z O'Clock. The execution was attended by o,O0O
troops, and many citizens.
He ascended the platform, and made short
speech. His last words were, 81 die for my be-
loved Cuba"
He then took bis seat; the machine was adjusted
and in two minutes he dead. The prisoners
say that in instance have the Creoles OF this land
manifested the least disposition to join them.
The French steamer Asmodeus sailed from Ha-
vana on the lst. The Cherokee from New York ar
rived on the Let, and was to sail the same night
for New Orleans.
The Falcon, from Chagres, arrived on the 3lst,
with 800 passengers.
