PROSPECTUS OF THE SIXTH VOLUME OF THE
NATIONAL ERA.

RAILEr, EDITOR AND rRorRIFroR rnHv q
WHITTIER, CORRESPONDING EDITOR.
The National Era is an Anti-Slayery Lite
rary and Political newspaper, published week
ly at Washington, D. c. by G. Bailey Its
character may be learned by the following
statement of principles.
We believe
In the unity and common origin of the hui
man race:
In the doctrine that God made of one blood
all the nations of men, to dwell upon all the
face of the earth:
In the golden rule" DO unto others as we
would that others should do unto you -
In the Higher Law" It is better to obey
God than man: -
In Liberty, as the fundamental condition Of
Human Progress and Perfection:
In Law, as the Defence, not Destroyer, Of
Liberty:
In Order, as the result of Liberty established
and protected, not subverted, by Law:
In the American Union. not rs nm end. but
as a mcans-a means to the establishment Of
Liberty and Justice, worthy of support only SC
long as it shall answer these great ends
We hold these Truths to be Self. Evident
That all men are created equal:
THAT they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalicnablc rights
"That among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness
"That tosccwc these rights Governments arc
established among men, deriving their ius
powers from the consent Of the governed
"That whenever any form of Government be
comes destructive of these ends, it is the RICH
Of the People to alter or to abolish it, and t,
institute a new Government laying its fonda
ton on such principles and organizing its pow
ers in such form AZ to them shall seem mos
likely to effect their safety and happiness"
We hold these Truths to be applicable at al
times, TO all men, Of whatever cline or complex
ion, and are therefore the uncompromising 70
of all forms of Slavery, personal, political
spiritual whether ut home or abroad and tn
advocate of all laws and usages having ter
dency to cqualize the conditions of all men
secure to all equal opportunities for the enio,
ment of liberty, acquisition of property, an
pursuit Of happiness
These are the Principles that have controllc
and will continue to control us in conductin
the National Era, which is responsible for II
Party, as no Party is responsible for it, OWN
allegiance alone to God and Humanity
The Literary Department of the Era speal
for itself To the corps of contributors wi
have heretofore enriched il, we shall add fro
time to time as our means shall warrant
Much attention will be devoted, during IL
ensuing Congress TO the preparation of col
else, clear and accurate reports of its procee,
ings aud debates, with such explanations an
comments as may be deemed necessary
The terms Of the paper are rs follows:
Single copy, one year 50
Three copies one year 8

ny HENRY HARDY,

ny HENRY HARDY.
Although the route we took from Albuquerque
to the crossing of the Rio Grande is the one
most used, it is not the most direct. That
would be made by keeping on the east side of
the river, and passing by the estate of Senor
Sandoval, a member of the New Mexican aris-
tocracy. Poor Mr. Sandoyal was the victim of
an audacious robbery day or two before we
passed his neighborhood. He is in point of age
q sexagenarian; and is charged with entertain
ing the amor nummi to q miserly extent. As
q result of this reputation, his house stood
credited with being the depository of great
wealth--an opinion which proved to be 50 far
well founded that twelve thousand dollars in
silver and gold were taken from it on the memo
rable night of the burglary. The rascals, re-
puted to be six in number, entered the room
containing Mr.. Sandoyal's hoard through the
roof, and otherwise did their business so well
rs to get clear off with their booty. Consider
able as was this loss, the circumstance did not
gain much commiseration for the loser. Who
ever related the story would do so in such
manner as to show that he thought the old man
was touched just at the right spot, and that
something very like retribution for long course
of usury, mercenary eIaction, and pecuniary
oppression, had been at length visited upon
him. Parties there were who were very strongly
suspected of completely with, not to say of full
agency in, the act of robbery, but whilst re-
mained in the country | never heard that any
body had cared enough for the old man to as.
sist him In ferreting the mstter out. i rather
judge he was satisfied to pocket the misfortune,
lest by stirring the affair q worse thing might

movement, as surely as the sun shines. The
tSpanish authorities, elated with their victory
oven the Lopez expedition, may go too far.
Already they have offered an insult to our
flag, and if any thing like asserious difficulty
can be got up between our Government and
that of Cuba, the quarrel win soon be famed
into a fame.''4 d sHg gesguasT sasaEg
BY the arrival, Of the United States steamer
Vixen at Pensacola on Wednesday, in four days
from Havana, we are informed that Lopez made
a stand at Name, and had two engagements
with the government troops, in both Of which
he was successful. The Spanish loss was eighty
officers and three hundred men killed and
wounded, who were carried to Havana, and
buried buried with great pomp- Lopez, it is said
was daily receiving large accessions to his
force, which consists of from twelve to fourteen
hundred men. On the night of the 18th over
one hundred men left Havana to join the Pa
triots. Fifty eight Cuba dcserters were taken.
On the morning of the 10th preparations were
being made to shoot Spanish colonel, aid to
the Governor. One French man-of- war and the
United States ship Albany were at Havana The
Vixen returns Immediately. 1t is also stated
that the Vixen reports that one whole regiment
of Spanish troops had gone over to the Patriots,
and that the people were rising in many quar-
ters; and that one general, one commodore,
and one general of marines, with two hun
dred soldiers, were killed, and many were
wounded during the two engagements with
Lopez. .aat
It is but proper here to state, however, that
these reports are pronounced by some of our
papers to be "mere inventions" fr,...,.tr
"A despatch from New Orleans, dated the
10th, which is also doubted, states that the
mail steamship Falcon had arrived there from
Chagres via Havana, and that private letters
say that four thousand Government troops had
deserted the Spanish standard and Joined that
Of Lopez; that the excitement in that city is
most intense; that two more steamers, filed
with men, had sailed to join Lopez; that the
interference of the United States Marshal was
of no avail, the fitting out and embarcation
being done in defiance of the authorities.
The. Baltimore Sun says ssCol Clendenen,
who was the first of the fifty shot at Havana
was young lawyer Of New Orleans and ma
tive of York county, Pa, and during the war
with Mexico served with great distinction ut
the battles of Monterey and Buena VISTA under
Gen. Taylor, with the Mississippi regiment,
commanded byCol. Jefferson Davis; that Capt
Victor Ker, was the son of DR.. Ker of New
Orleans, who was a Surgeon in the British ar
my during the battle of New Orleans. He was
known as a brave and chivalric youth, being
but % years of age. He leaves widow and
child in that city. Capt. James Brant was also
from New Orleans, and mad served in the late
war with Mexico. Napoleon Collins has been
recognised rs the name OF young man of
Southwark, Philadelphia. He has been absent
for some years, and his former acquaintance
knew nothing of his whereabouts, until seeing
his name among those butchered at Havana"

Oh release me from the Past,
From the pangs of memory
Nus some recollections lasIi
Shall my spirit not be free!
Sunder tor me every tie
They uphold me now no more;
Let the Past unthought Of lie,
Vague as that eternal shorei
would be alone, alone
What's affection done for met
Rather, would love but one;
Mary, dearest, 'twould be lteel
Are such eyes meteor rayl
Can such tones be syren drts
Or beacon on my way
Healing for my anguished hearth
Severed from the shadowed hours,
Lost, and passed-but never gone,
Thou couldst strew my path with flowers,
Fresh as those in childhood's thrown
Thou art she-my youthful dream
Was TO light my sunset sky;
Earlier clouds shut out thy beam
Chill-in shade--my day must die
