General LopeZ-Nan echten, &C.
The New Orleans Delta, of October %, con-
tains the following:
We had the pleasure of conyersing yesterday
with Mr.. Wilson L. Reeves, an intelligent young
man, who resides in Mississippi, and was re-
Gently released from captivity in Havana, hav-
ing been wounded and prisoner in the unfor-
tunate expedition of Gen. Lopez. Mr.. Reeves
was released by the interposition of the Amer
ican Consul, out Of respect to some Of his rela-
tiyes, who are leading political characters. This
fact shows that our Consul has some weight ant
influence with Concha, and serves to render
still more reprehensible his previous neglect to
employ that influence to mitigate the unhappy
fate Of those gallant young men.
Mr.. Reeves stated that his principal object in
coming to see us was to put on record his in
dignant denunciation Of all the calumnies which
have been heaped upon the character of the he
roic and true-hearted Lopez. He declares that
no man could have behaved with more devotion,
fidelity, and bravery, than Lopez displayed
through all the trying scenes Of their short but
eventful struggle. His gallantry and GOODNESS
in battle were not more conspicuous than his
solicitude for the comfort and safety Of his men.
lie says that when they were deprived of the
use of their arms by the tempestuous weather,
and it became evident that the expedition had
failed Lopez told them to separate, divide into
small parties, and that, if taken prisoners, he
would endeavor to offer himself up as a sacri-
fee to save the others.
Before Lopez was captured, he remarked to
one of his companions that he should not de-
stroy himself as he at first intended, because
he hoped to have an interview with Concha in
Havana, and he should then make representa-
tions to him that might effect the release Of the
other prisoners On his arrival in Havana he
made an earnest solicitation for an interview
with the Captain General IL was denied him
He then asked to be permitted to write to Con-
cha; this also was refused, and so the brave
old man was cruelty deceived in his last hopo.
Mr.. Reeves further informed us that he be-
onged to the company of which Van Vechten
was an officer, and was left behind by Col Crit
tenden, with Capt. Kelly and others, in charge
Of the baggage. He states that Van Vechten
acted so badly that the men would not serve
under him-that at the first fight Van Vechten
went into the store, pretending to be wounded,
and lay down near Spanish soldier-that on
examining his wound, he (Reeves) found it o
mere briar scratch. lie also says, that at the
fight at the Cafetal de Frias, Van Vechten hid
in the chapperal whilst the fight with the Span.
ish infantry was going on, and that when the
Spaniards were about to make the attack, he
remarked to Reeves that he believed he would
get horse and make for the sea shore. Our
informant also charges Van Vechten with hav
ing used the money of the men, deposited Will
him, for his own use.

From the London Athen@um.l
The CAtncomb bs OF Rom @.

The Revue des Deur Mondes gives an account
of the researches of M. Perret in the Catacombs
of Rome, which will interest our readers. 1t
appears that the antiquarian in question has
been engaged for six years in exploring the
| catacombs, and in copying the remains of an
cient art hidden for ages in those extraordinary
chambers. Burying himself for FIVE years in
this subterranean city, he has examined every
part Of it, in spite of difficulties and perils Of the
| gravest character the refusal of his guides
to accompany him,-the intricacy of the pas.
| sages,-the necessity for clearing way through
galleries choked up with earth which fell in from
above almost as fast rs it was removed, the
difficulty Of damming up streams Of water which
ran in from above,-the foulness of the air, and
consequent difficulty of breathing and preserv-
ing light in the lower chambers.
| During his long sojourn in the neither regions,
M. Perret succeeded in exploring the whole of
the sixty chambers and their connecting gale
ries; and he has now returned to France with
collection Of drawings which extends to $50
sheets in large folio. OF these, 154 sheets con-
tain representations Of frescoes 65 Of monu-
ments 23 of paintings on glass, (medalions
inserted in the walls and at the bottom of vases
containing sc subjects Al drawings of lamps
vases, rings and instruments of martyrdom, TO
the number Of more than 100 subjects and
finally, 80 contain copies of more than 500 Sc
pulchral inscriptions. OF the l54 drawings of
frescoes, two.thirds are inedited, and a consid-
erable number have been only lately discovered
Amongst the latter, as we learn from the Revue,
are the paintings on the celebrated wells of
Platonia, said to have been the place of inter-
ment, for certain period, Of ST. Peter and st.
Paul. This spot was ornamented with frescoes
by Pope Damascus about A. ID. 365, and has
ever since remained closed up. On opening the
/ 10, nf
ernment, NJ. Perret discovered fresco paintings
representing the Saviour and the Apostles, and
two coffins of Parian marble. 1t is stated that
on the return Of NJ. Perret to France, the Min
| lister of the Interior entered into treaty with
him for the acquisition of his collection for the
nation. The purchase has been arranged, and
the necessary amount, upwards Of G7, 500, OBJ
tained by q special vote of the National Assem-.
bly,. The drawings will be published by the
French government in o style commensurate
with their Importance.

RAILROAD ON THE IsTHMUs.--On last Sdtur-
day. the first train of cars passed from Navy
Bay to Gatune, under steam We moreover
learn, from gentleman who walked over great
portion Of it, that, with the exception of one
small space, the road is completed, or very
nearly so, from Gatune to Miller's station, on
the banks of the Chagres river, which is above
Palanauilla, and that the work is being pushed
forward with the greatest energy The opening
of the dry season--early in December--will see
the road in working order to Miller's, which
presents the greatest difficulties Of construction
on the whole route. By July, it will be com

RIGHT OF SEARcH.-A correspondent of the
New York Courier, writing from Washington,
|. says:
81 happened TO be in the North, where Mr..
Webster was, last summer, when the news ar
rived that England and France intended to or
der or had ordered, American vessels to be
searched, as in former times and heard Mr..
Webster, then confined to his house by his an
nual attack of catarrh, declare that the first in
stance Of any such proceeding ought 10 be, and
acouid be- foliosced by Var! And know, also,
that this declaration was made by him in the
presence and hearing of several persons in hab
its of daily correspondence with their English
friends, and that, in less than twelve days from
the time it was made, it was heard Of and
known in high quarters in London"
The condition of this country, with its grow
ing strength and resources, is such at this day
that neither England nor France, nor both to-
gether, would be disposed, we should think, to
contest an abstract question, or to attempt the
enforcement of disputed privilege, in view of
the consequences, as above announced, that
might be expected to follow such an attempt
