The New Orleans Delta of the 22d ult., publishes the following letter from Adjutant Sandford and others, which ex- plains partially the manner in which our unfortunate cOunLrymcn met their terri. ble fate:
 1 HAVANA, Aug. l6, 1851. 1 Dear Huling--We arrived on the Is- land of Cuba after the most horrible passage you can conceive of, co nped on board with 400 or 500 men.
 We arrived on Sunday last, l believe 1; dates have almost forgotten. The next morning, Lopez, with General Pragay, and all the commanding officers left us, q mean Crittepden and his battalion. ] We heard nothing more of him for two days, when Clittenden despatched a note. He then requested we should join him at little town some six or eight miles off, leaving us in the mean time to take care of all the baggage, &c.
 We started for him on Wednesday morning, at 3 o'clock, A.. M., and had prpcerded only three miles when we were attacked by 800 Spanish soldiers. In the first charge I received very severe wound in the knee. We repulsed them, however. They made another charge ard completely routed us. We spent tWo days and nights the most miserable you can imagine in the chaparal, without anything to eat or drink.
 We made the best of our way to the sea shore, and found some boats, with which we put to sea. Spent a night upon the ocean. and next day abous II o'clock was taken prisoners by the Ha- banero--were brought to Havana last night, and condemned to die, this morn> ing. We shall all be shot in an hour.
 Good bye, and God bless you. send the Masonic medal enclosed in this, be. longing to my father. Convey it to my sister, Mrs. P-, and tell Ter of my fate. Once more, God bless you.
