THE NEWS BY THE CHEROKEE.

The Cherokee arrived last night from Havana,
whence she sailed at IL o'clock lay morn
ing, the tn inst. Our thanks are due to William
Whitney, ESQ.,, the United States Mail Agent, and
VIM. w. Boyle, Esq, the Purser, for their kind
ness to us in our efforts to obtain the latest and
most authentic intelligence.
After the landing of General Lopez and his
party, near Bahia Honda, as detailed above, fight
ing with the Spanish troops commenced; and a
frightful slaughter took place, as near as we can
learn, especially of the Spanish troops. The main
body of the patriots, or invaders, driven to the
mountains, and the remainder took to boats and
put to sea. These men were captured of Bahia
Honda, forty miles west of Havana, by the steam
er Habanero. The patriots were in four boats,
unarmed, and, report says, were steering for New
Orleans. They were brought to Havana by the
Habanero, on Saturday morning, the 10th inst, at
A. M, and placed On board Spanish frigate, ly-
ing in port, and ereciaed at 1l:5 Il. NJ of the same
morning. after they rers shot, they were dragged
by the J by negroes, and then left to the mob, ,cho
commenced stripping them Of their clothes and carry
ing them ON sticks through the streets, ceiling like so
many uibd demons.

A stable and four or five dwelling houses near
FaiImount were destroyed by fire, about II o'clock
last night. There were several exhibitions of y
riotous spirit manifested by some Of the firemen
which was only kept 10 check by the police. An
affair occurred at Broad and Chestnut streets
which may revive the old grudge between the
Moyamensing and Franklin Hose Companies

The last exhibit Of the operations Of the tariff ~
le46, showing increase Of seven millions for the
present year the receipts Of the preceding year
from eusto ns, will be conclusive argument at the
next session of Congress, against any increase Of
bountes upon coal and iron An increase OF the adva
lorems anthracite and bituminous coal, and iron
ore,was Pennsylvania share Of the com promise In
voting for ten millions for Texas she expected some
hing on coal and iron. 1t was in the bond It
was Col. Benton's passenger in the boot, smuggled
upaongside ofFather Richie, and both fthem have
failed and the tariff, at least, is out OF the question
entirely. fanything il done on that subject, it
must first 60 through the mill of the Presidential
election. The tariff may, thel etore, be considered
as dead as the bank.
Apropos of the bank. II is pretty well understood
here that Col Lewis, Collector of Phil sdeph has
been the agent of schism in the whg party Of
Pennsylvania ; that his retention in Office however
useful It may be 10 the Treasury, or honorable to
Mr.. Fillmore, will be disastrous to the wings Of
pennsylvania II Is here supposed that Bigler, the
democrat, viii be easily elected Governor because
Of his spirt Of disailection in the wing ranks Time
WI tel The harmony between the Buchanan and
Cass factions Just about as amusing the split
among the wings, because OF the pafceng out of
the sIols q .4e Custom House to Lewis and his
friends.
The administration, after the failure of Congress
to fulfil the treaty with Mexico, in providing ample
protection for our Southern frontiers, has been
PEELED 10 face the music, the government Of Mex
leo being iii disposition to permit TO blink the
question any longer; The army has been reinforced
along the Mexican boundary, for the reduction of
the Indians, and will soon amount 10 an available
force III the field of some three thousand men. The
humbugging of the western demagogues in the
House, IN cutting down the army BILL will probably
saddle million or more OF indemnities upon the
Treasury, for losses OF property destroyed in Mexico,
by United States Indians
The army of the Mexican frontiers will have an
other duty to attend to- requiring perhaps, further
reinforcements of dragons, in the suppression Of
the buffalo hunt project d in Upper California, Tor
n descent upon the Peninsula, below.
The Secretary of the interior, understand,
has caused the Commissioner of Pablo Buildings to
suspend the destruction of timber in the Capitol
Park. II he had not done il, the citizens would
have interposed in n very summary manner, to
stop the axemen. We have reason to believe.
