LETTER FROM ONE OF LoPEz's OFFICERS
We make the following extract from letter
from Capt. Robert Ellis to Capt. J. G. Marriott
of this city, published in the Argus yesterday !:
"On the 28th, was made prisoner, and
treated very kindly until l reached Havana,
when we were chained Is ick and iOounded) to-
gether.
"Upon an examination being made, | and
some others were sent to this hospital, where
we have every attention and are treated in.the
kndest and most gentlemanly manner by the
surgeons and students.
"Of our consul, here, | have nothing to say |;
be came once to the prison, for some ten min
utes, and insultingly told $50 men, who were in
chains, that the proclamation of the President
prevented him from doing anything for US. In
the honr Of need came friend, like a minister
ing angel from Heayen--Mr. w. Sydney Smith
visited US every day. he is secretary TO the Brit
ish consul general. What rebuke to our con-
sui was his conduct! He never came empty
handed, nor with mere toOrds OF comfort; but
clothes, segars, money, and many other articles
were brought in abundance. Our consul had
refused US books or papers; Mr.. Smith fur
nished both-American papers at that---so that
we could read, with pleasure, the account of the
meetings, &c. held in the States. God bless
that young man, Marriott! The American PEG
pie should rise up en- masse and thank him! J
could fill dozen sheets in telling you OF his
generous acts TO myself; he has been particu-
lary kind, and If the rules of the hospital would
permit it, every thing in Havana would be at
lmy service Through bis influence many
American gentlemen, who had before applied in
vain, gained admittance to see us. They, with
Mr. Smith. raised $l,700 for the relief of those
sent to Spain.

Arrival OF the Rescue.

The United States exploring brig Rescue, one
Of the vessels Of the Grinnell Attic Exploring
Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, s. p
Griffin, acting master, commanding, arrived al
Navy Yard, Brooklyn, at 8 o'clock, Tuesday
morning last She was towed from the lower
bay to her moorings, by the steam ting Ajax.
Since separating from her consort, the Ad
vance, on the 18th ult as before reported in tht
Herald, has had a very wet and boisterous pas
sage. She brings nothing additional, Of interest
She has had no deaths on board during the cruise
and all hands are now in the enjoyment o
good health.
The chief cause of the delay Of her arrival wa
in her being much smaller than the Advance
and in having model quite inferior to that
the A., which obliged her to lay to in heav..
weather, while the A. can run and carry sail.
The Rescue has brought home FIVE splendi'

PLoueHING By STEAM.-Lord Willoughby
d 'Eresby, an opulent and practical cultiyator Of
the Grimsthorpe estate, near Bourne, England,
has recently made several most successful expert
ments in opening and pulverizing the soil by an
engine. A writer in the London Nssos, describ-
ing them. says that steam-ploughing is now no
longer problem. The field selected for the last
experiment had grown wheat crop, and was Of
good tillable soil. The engine was placed on
movable tram road at the end OF the field By
way of testing the relative powers, the plough, a
double one, with reversed shares and couters,
was drawn in one direction by horses, and con-
trarily by steam The horses, four very power
full animals, had much labor to drag the imple-
ment, and that only at slow pace whilst the
engine, of &c horse power hurried il back as fast
as man could fairly walk to conduct the plough.
After several Shouts" subsoil plough was at
tached to gage Of nine and afterwards twelve
inches. This additional burden, which the horses
could not possibly have drawn, evidently steadied
and improved the motion, and left the work in
most satisfactory manner. Harrows were after
wards appended with an equally pleasing result
The ploughing took place across old land, which
showed in some places considerable dips. Two
engines placed parallel at each end Of the field
would, without difficulty. with only double
plough, complete four acres of land in ten hours,
and, ifrequired, subsoil it too. The relative ex-
pense of ploughing "a acres of land is given as
follows, by horse s9 l2s, by steam &c les. By
steam power the twenty four acres would be COM
pleted in week. 1t would require at least ten
horses to plough it in the same period.

the military were immediately parsded and
marched 10 the scene Of action, but before
their arrival the fighting was over. and most Of
the rioters dispersed. They succeeded, however
in making several arrests, which, together with

The Gold Dust Robbery on the Isthnus, &c.


After all, no gold dust has been lost. We
learn from Mr. Fsrrier, the gentlemanly messen
ger of Adams g. Co., that the gold dust train
was attacked by about twenty robbers, on the
2lst ult, about seven miles from Panama. The
attack was made on the edge of the woods
The guard of the train, headed by Mr.. Follen,
numbered fifteen. After a skirmish, in which
one of the guard was killed and two others
wounded, the guard succeeded in capturing three
of the bandtti and putting the remainder to
flight
While the guard and the main body of the
robbers were engaged in the skirmish, portion
of the bandtti succeeded in driving off one
mule, laden with two boxes Of gold dust. This
mule was afterwards found in the woods, with
a blae blanket overcoat thrown e-sr him, and q
rifle lying near by, but the boxes were gone
After the guard had become satisfied that no
more gold was missing, they determined to ex.
ecute one of the robbers, and were about hang
ing him TO a tree when Gov. Diaz came up and
saved his life. The robbers were given up to
the governor, and the train proceed to Chagres
where it arrived in safety.
Shortly after its arrival, DR.. Theler, of Pana.
ma, who had Joined in the pursuit Of the villains
gathered, from conversation with a small girl
several important facts, which led to the discov
cry of the two boxes Of dust. They had been
thrown into the river. They were soon found
taken to Chagres, and placed safely on board the
Ohio, wi h the others.
We also learn from Mr.. Ferrier, that man
who gave his name rs Linn, had chartered the
brig Undine, put her up for San Francisco, and
advertised for passengers. He obtained about
$4,000 and disappeared, but fortunately was
discovered on board the Ohio. taken ashore, and
sent back TO Pannma.-N Y. Herald.
