GT We learn that Hon. T. K Mar shall. who is elected to the House of Re- presentatives, from Woodford county, made speech on the night of his cleo tion. in which he gave notice that he dis. solved all connection with the Democra- tic party, and from thenceforth resumed his old position as Whig. The circum-. stances of the avowal. as they have been related to us, are characteristic and anu. sing. Mir. Marshall has been acting for some years with the Democrats. In this race, however, he ran as an indepe ndent candidate, and was supported by many, Wings but doubtless he owes his cleo. ton mainly to Democratic votes. After the result was known on Monday night, MT. Barnes. his competitor. made short speech, in which he said that he consid- cred it no disgrace to be defeated by man of MT. Marshall's splendid abilities. After Mr. B. concluded, Mr. Marshall spoke, and paid some beautiful and elo- quent compliments to Mr. Barnes. He then said he wished to make out an ac- count current with the Democratic party. He acknowledged that he owed his elec- tion to them, and he set himself down debtor for that. But he had supported Mir. Polk, and otherwise done the party some service for that he claimed cre- dit, and called upon the Democrats pre- sent to say on which side the balance stood. Some of them cried out, "Oh, we ae indebted to you" Well." said Marshall, "I forgive you the balance, close the books. square the accounts, and from henceforth am Whig forever.''
 We congratulate the Wings upon the. return of so gifted son to his old poli-, sical aith.-FyanIfort (Rentucky) Gonsr naonVeaIh.

Important from Cuba !

The news from Havana, brought by the steamers Winfield Scott and Cherokee, is of n most exciting nature. The steamer Pamrero which left New Orleans on the 9th of this month, with General Lopez and five or six hundred men, 10 join in the rev> olu,ionary movement in Cuba, effected a landing on the 18th within forty miles of Havana. Information of their landing was soon communicated to the Captain General, who immediately sent a ship of war to cut off their retreat by water, and strong force to check theirprogress in the country. The war-steamer succeeded in capturing some fifty of the number, who were proceeding along the shore in boats these men were taken to Havana, where they were imme> diately marched out in pIatoons of ten, and shot. The land force, however, appear not to have had SO good success. Lopez was ready to meet them, and, according to the report, defeated them in 3 sanguinary battle, with great loss in killed and wound> ed. So much. we think, may be relied upon. Accounts of subsequent events are confused and somewhat contradictory though their general import is favorable to the revolutionis,s.
 The tragic end of the fifty volunteers, is certainly to be deplored. However un- wise or morally criminal they may have been, in thus hazarding their lives in an expedition which the laws of nations condemn, we cannot reggrd them as guilty as the Quitmans and Barnwells and other men high in station and influence at the South, who have lent their aid to the pirat- icalproject. While the spirit and war cry of of Cuban Independence were at their height. many noble and high spirited young men might very naturally be drawned into hearty support of the cause; while the leaders of public sentiment. who assisted in creating the fever of excitement, will just as naturally contrive to keep out of harms way.
 How fur the Spanish authorities can be justified, even under the extrsordinary cir cumstances in which they were placed, in thus summarily executing the insurgents, we pretend not to know. It is doing the business little too much afler General Jackson's fashion to suit us.

The Celebration.

The correspondent of the New York Observer gives one of the most interesting and concise accounts of the celebration whicE we have seen. His synopsis of the oraiion, sermon and poem, are strikingly correct and graphic. He concludes his communication from this place as follows: "The public services were eplvened by most eloquent music, by the County Musi- cal Association, and also the splendid band from the U. $.

 may not close without acknowledging the generous and unbounded hospitality of the people of LtchfeId. Many of us went there as strangers; their doors were thro VII wide open, and they welcomed us in. New associations and acquainta noes were thus formed, which it will be our highest pleas. ure torecall.
 During the day gentleman from New York connected with the army, accustom- ed to estimate large assemblies, on review, said there could not be less than from seven to eight thousand persons present to-day |: and said one who was present at Berkshire, there appeared to be three thousand more than there. Gen. Brinsmade, of Washing ion, presided mos. admirably on the occa- sion Take it altogether, it was all we could expect or desire, and the influence must be in the highest degree Lenign.- Surely none who were present, could % down from those heights without invigora- ted resolutions to hold fast to the stern vr> tues, the strict piety of our forelathers, and transmit the same to our posterity to the latest generation."
 nPOne of the most interesting features of this festival, was the display of family portraits at the Court House. We were struck with their strong resemblance to children of the third and fourth generations But we, perhaps more than many others, were impressed with the portraits of the three brothers the Bacons.1 We had them in tue pride of manhood filling hon. orahle stations, when they were seyerally struck down by the hand that had raised them. Their memory is hallowed by large circle of friends. s.-EN Haven Register.

would be ridicplons to boast. He will find hardy yeomanry, and the birth places of many of the great men of whom he has read and heard, and who have honored their country by their lives.- Not many years ago. said Judge Church, l was riding down the last hill in Nor folk. in the stage coach, with lady from the West, formerly resident ot this county. She exclaimed. " Ah how love these hllls and streams How much more pleasant than the dull level prai. ries and sluggish waters of the western country" It was a sentiment which. if not often exp1 ssed, is always felt by the emigrant children of Lilchield.
 Judge Church alluded to the Indian history of the county-the material fol tracing out which was meagre. But few of the original tribes that inhabited the county, remain the rest have vanished before the advance of tbe white man. Previous to the time of James the se- cond. Litch6eld county was little known to the government of Connecticut. and was called the Western Land. One set. clement was made-.hat of Woodburv. by the Rev. Mir. Walters church from S,ratford. To keep these lands out oI the hands of Sir Edmund Andres. who 1t was feared, was about to assume jur- isdiction over them, they were granted to the towns of Hartford and Windsor. In 1888, the General Assembly having become aware of the value of the lands, attempted to resume the grant which was resisted by Hartford and Windsor. The attempt of the Assembly to revoke the grant produced much excitement, and many riots. The difficulty was finally adjusted by division of the territory be. tween the state and the town. Litchlield county was settled by different class than the original emigrants to New Eng land. The old asperities and harshness of the flst generation had worn of. and there was a liberality of religious feeling aud sentiment. The rancor of Laud
