MARAcAIBo. May Is. 1851.
The bark Irma, for Philadelphia today to-
morrow, affords me an opportunity, of which
avail myself, to apprse you of the condition, re-
sources, and prospects of the Republic.
In the extreme south feeling of revolt has made
its appearance among the adherents of General
Paez. This feeling is particularly manifested
at the towns of Esmerada, Gura and Marcena,
noted as the hot beds of disunion and revolution
whCle inhabitants remarkable for predatory in
cursions under the guise of party feeling, and
without any regard whatever to the merit or de-
merit Of the question about to be discussed. From
this hostility to the Government nothing serious is
apprehended in the popular appreciation of the
agas, who is the Napoleon of Venezuela, in the
suppression ofrots and destruction of revolutoniss
The agricultural production of the republic is
immense, compared with the yield of former years.
The Government is truly paternal in disseminating
the most approved tracts and patented implements,
at considerable expense to the republic, towards
the advancement ofagricultural and general know
ledge.
Great attention is bestowed on the improvement
of cattle, swine and poultry. The production of
coffee will be double that of any former year and
sugar-cane, tobacco, cotton and grain, thriving
and progressing, with extraordinary rapidity, 10
vast extent.
President Monagas is very POPULAR his every act
applauded, and the republic is as firm as the rock
of Gibraltar.
Commercial affairs are getting better every day,
and confidence, which in few short years had
nearly disappeared, was never more firmly estab-
| lished than at the present moment
Coffee, hides, and indigo are very scarce, and
those who hold the remnants of large stocks demand
| very high prices. Yours, H.H.v.

Errora Corrnrted.

The Union fell into mistake of fact yester-
day morning touching the proceedings of the
Pennsylvania Legislature in repeating the law
Of lS47 to prevent the State jails from being
used to confne fugitive slaves, sc. This jour
nal says ''On deliberate consultation, the De
mocratic Legislature repealed the odious law"
This language does not express the true state
Of the case. 1t gives the reader to understand
that both branches of the Legislature of Penn
sylvania are Democratic, and being SO, repealed
the law. Now, it so happens that the Senate
of Pennsylvania is Wing. Is there not, then,
as much reason TO say that the law was re-
pealed by WING as by DEMocRATIc Legis
lature2
But there is another fact in the history of this
bill to which the Union has made no allusion.
The bill originated in, and was passed by the
WING Senate, and was then sent to the Dem
ocratc House, where its passage was delayed,
and was for some time matter Of serious doubt.
II is furthermore fact that this Democratic
body was strenuously urged by Wings to pass
the bill, one of whom, residing in Philadelphia,
wrote to some of his Democratic friends in the
House, urging them to exert their influence TO
secure its passage, and presenting to them the
fact that ifI failed the responsibility gifts loss
must fall upon them and not upon the Wings,
as Wing Senate had already passed it. I'm
der this pressure, as we have been informed
the bill was at length taken up and passed by
the House.
We submit, then, as far as the passage Of
this bill is concerned, that neither the DEMO
Gratis nor the Wines of the Pennsylvania LIE
gisIature are entitled to the exclusive credit

From Norfolk.

The United States steamer Engineer ar
rived here yesterday from Norfolk, which place
she had left the day before at four O'Clock
We learn from gentleman on board that large
amounts of Government property taken from
the navy yard at Gosport had been discovered
on Wednesday in the stores of one or more
respectable persons in Portsmouth. The dis
covery had caused great excitement among the
workmen of the yard, who insisted upon the
exposure by the receivers of the individuals
from whom the property had been obtained
Three arrests had been made, and judicial in
designations were going on at the time our in
formant left Norfolk.
The Engineer, we learn, left Richmond on
Saturday morning for Old Point with the Ia
dies who had accompanied the PRESIDENT
from Shirley to the former place. She stop
ped on her return at Lower Brandon, where
the party dined, and continued their route to
Claremont, the residence of WILLIAM ALLEN
esq, where they passed that and the following
night, arriving at Old Point and Norfolk on
Monday afternoon

The CommandaDt of Fort Moultrie and the
Charleston Secessionists.
From The Richmond (Ya.) Times.


The Charleston Mercury and its busy correspond
ents make great complaint of the matter related in
the following paragraph, which the Euening Netcs
says it is requested to publish"
"The Moultre Guards through the chairman of
the committee appointed to make application for
the of the gun shed to celebrate their annivcr-
sary on the 2oth OF June, received the following
reply from Colonel Irving, who is in command at
the fort, which was in every way courteous. That
officer states that he was anxious to do all in his
power to advance the object tho company have in
view, but, at the same time officer under the
Federal Government, he could not permit such
language had been used at the last celebration
to be again uttered within the precincts of the fort
He further informed the chairman that he intend
ed no offence, but through respect to the Govern
ment which he represented he was compelled to de-
cline the request"
We think Colonel Irving might well have disre-
gardcd the harmless disunion toasts which tive
"Moultrie Guards would doubtless have proposed
and caused to be published. But the matter is one
of very trifling consequence, and the "Guards''
probably found abundant consolation for their
buff by adding little more fire to their sentiments
at the Pavilion HOTEL where they determined to
have their celebration of the seventy fifth ami
versary Of the battle of Sullivan's Island
This affair reminds us of an incident of some in
terest in General Jackson's history, which we have
heard related such authority that we cannot but
credit it. The story is, that when the nullifica-
ton trouble was pending, petition was received
by the Secretary of War, requesting that Fort
Moultrie might be placed for time under the
control of the authorities of Charleston to be used
as an hospital, for epidemic was represented to
be prevailing in the city. The Secretary thought
the request very reasonable one, and spoke Of
itgto General Jackson; but Old Hickory instantly
smct rat, and throwing into his countenance all
the energy of expression of which it was capable,
told the Secretary, "Sir, you will order the officer
in command at Fort Moutrie TO turn the guns
upon Charleston, and send him a reinforcement
without delay. That's my answer to the petition"
Few will question what General jackson would
nov say, were he President Of the United States,
If military company should ask to be admitted
into the same fort, though its members might in
! tend nothing more serious than seasoning their
bumpers with toasts denunciatory of the Union
and the Government.

BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILRoAD.-We are in
formed by the chief engineer that the track of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad reached the Piedmont
station, twenty eight miles west of Cumbcrland, on
Saturday night, June 2Sth, six days in advance OF
the time promised, and that the trains with mate
rails, &c, are now running to that point. This
has been effected by extraordinary exertion the
part Of the workmen, stimulated by the wish to
have the usual Fourth Of July holiday more en-
tirely to themselves. few days check in the ad-
vance Of the track beyond Piedmont will take place
in the observance of this holiday, which we cannot
begrudge the Woodworking men who have, under
the energetic superintondence Of the companys
officers, carried the road so rapidly to this, tho
first point of promise. We understand that the
visit of the board and invited guests will not be
til about the 2lst of July, when the operation Of To-
comotves upon tho grade ascending the Allegany
mountain will be exhibited, as cannot doubt, to
their full satisfaction. By that date the track will
have reached the Everett Tunnel" and part of
the bold work and beautiful scenery on Savage
river will be opened to the view ofthe visitors.

ings of liberty, fortified by Constitution and

ings of liberty, fortified by Constitution and
protected by Law.
The return of this anniversary reminds us Of
our duties no less than our blessings, of our re-
sponsibilites no less than our enjoyments, Of
our debt to posterity no less than of our own
priceless inheritance Thanks, then-thanks
and benedietions numberless to the memory of
those who achieved for us the independence of
our country, who established the Institutions
under which we live, who sacrificed fortune,
and endured privaton, and perilled life, that the
great work might be consummated which drove
the martyrs of civil and religious liberty to seek
a refuge on these shores. A gallant and noble
race of men, distinguished as well for their in
tuitive craftsmanship Us for their native yalor;
and illustrious no less for the wise, prudent,
and liberal formation of our matchless Consti-
tuition, than for the subversion of British do
minion in the colonies, and the establishment
of American independence!
y Well may we, on such day, take upon
our lips the names of Hancock and SAMUEL
ADAMS, the first prescribed; of QUINcY and
WARREN, the first martyrs; of OTIs and HEN
Rr, the first teachers of revolution, whose in
spired eIoquence rang through MASSACHUSETTS
and VIRGINIA, and marshalled the gallant
spirits of the Bay Province and the Old Do
minion to dare and die for the independence of
their country; Of JEFFERSON and JOHN ADAMS
and MONROE, whose names are doubly linked
with the day as the anniversary Of nations
birth and their own dissolution; of HAMILTON,
the daring, chivalrous, boy-soldier of the Re
volution, but of foresight, sagacity, and re-
source that its Oldest captains might have en-
ulated; of MADISON, the framer of the Constitu-
ton; and of WASHINGTON, the sage, the states
man, the patriot, and the chieftain, the Father
Of his Country, and the founder of her institu-
tions. And what AMERICAN can turn over the
page, bright with these illustrious names, and
fail to execrate the spirit that would here ter
inmate the history, and make the past an I'M
connected fragment in the annals of Republic
which our fathers fondly hoped would be per-
petuated?

The Psnnsylvanla wing Convention.

Every one knows" says the Union, "that
8 the recent WING movement in Pennsylvania
is as rank Free-soil and Abolition one as
any that has preceded it,
The recent Wine Convention of Pennsylva-
ni4 putforth no Free-soil or Abolition resolu-
tions, but declared that the people of Pennsyl-
.vania are loyal to the National Constitution,
and are ready at all hazards to carry its provi-
sions into effect; and that the adjustment mea-
sures of the last Congress shall be faithfully
observed and respected by the Wines. They
also declared that an unalterable determination
to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution
and the laws has been and is now one of the
cardinal doctrines Of the Wines.
Is there any abolition in these sentiments?
On the contrary, do they not repudiate Adolf
ton doctrines2 If not, how can the Union as
sert that this movement in Pennsylvania sis as
rank Free-soil and Abolition one as any that
preceded it2" The assertions made, as every
one must see, directly in th&face of the fact
The central organ of the Democracy is not
content that we should refer to Mr.. JOHN VAN
buren, and Mr.. CHASE as DEMOCRATS. Why
not? Mr.. CHASE but few days ago addressed
a Democratic assemblage, and then and there
reiterated his Democratic confession of faith.
He said that he was and always had been a
Democrat, had been elected as Democrat
and by Democrats to the United States Senate,
and had ever been faithful to that party and its
principles.
As to Mr.. JOHN VAN buren,, we apprehend
that it will be quite as easy for him to read the
Union out of the party as for the latter to ex-
communicate him. We recollect very well
that at the Democratic State convention OF
New York, some months ago, vigorous effort
was made to exclude this gentleman, but
proved wholly Intellectual. MIR. VAN buren,
retained his seat, and was one of the most ac-
tive and prominent of its Democratic members.

Military Court Martial.

The Board convened for the trial of Brevet Brig.
Gen. Talcott assembled at the City Hall yesterday.
1t will be recolleced that the charges which this
gentleman is arraigned are, l. Violation of l32d
article of the regulations for the of the
Ordnance Department. 3 Wilful disobedience of
orders and instructions from the Secretary of War
in relation to contract for supplies; and, 3. Con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gentleman.
The examination of witnesses for the prosecution
with view to the standardization of the charges
and specifications; and this concluded on
Wednesday. Yesterday eK-Secrctary Of War
Marcy examined for the defence, and a letter
was read by the counsel Of the accused, from a
former Secretary of War, the Hon. John c. Spen-
Ger, in relation to the usages of the Department
with regard to contracts for supplies and purchases
in open market.
The testimony having been concluded on both
sides, J. NJ. Carlisle, esq. requested that he be al
lowed until Monday, at one o'clock, to prepare a
defence for his client; which favor accorded,
and the court adjourned until-that time.

General CampbelI,s Health.

We learn from the Nashville Banner that
General CAMPBELL, the Wing candidate for
Governor of Tennessee, has partially recovered
from the chronic diarrhea with which he has
lately been afflicted, although his physical pros
tration is very great. His physicians think it
would not be safe for him to resume the can
yass. The Banner has great confidence, how
ever, that in short time his robust constitution
will enable him to be again on the line of his ap-
pointments. General TRoUspALE, it is under
stood, is at present attending the appointments
by himself in the southern part of East Ten
nessee.

SPIRITUAL RAPPISes,-We understand hat the
Misses Fox again in this city, with view Of
new demonstrations and making converts to their
spiritual rappngs. We think it high time that
the intelligent citizens of this country, instead of
encouraging, should frown down such shameless
mpostions such shameless impiety. 1t cannot
is no phantasy, however absurd-if there only
be found persons lmpudent enough to start it, and
a few backers-but that soon out of the great num-
Der Of the people, there will be found enough to
make a crowd of true believers. The experience
Of every community, for few years past, will de-
signate some, if not many, whose minds and for
tunes have been injured, and where interesting
families and worthy citizens have been unsettled
by putting faith in of the absurd theories
which have been started. We say sbsurd-using
strong language, but expressive of real senti-
ments. OF these absurdities, the most crude, and
most calculated morally 10 do injury, are those
put forth by the Foxes and the promulgators of
faith in spiritual rappings, and such like.

PHILLIPs's FIRE ANNIHILAToR.-Much has been
written of late of this invention of Mr. Phillips OF
England, and almost every newspaper has spoken
in its praise, somo ranking it's value With that OF
the steamboat, the magnetic telegraph, and the
cotton gin. We confess, that any invention THAI
shall, even in good degree, do away with the de-
structon of property by fire ought to receive the
very highest encomiums, and its inyentor placed in
the very front ranks of discoveries But that Mr..
Phillips's machine is likely to do this we have yet
to learn. That it is capable of generating gas
that will not support combustion, and which, when
discharged upon burning substance, will extin-
guish it, is no doubt true-and it is probable that
it may often be of service in extingushing fires of
small extent, where water cannot be procured.
But it is not likely thatit will supersede our
ordinary fire engine, doom our gallant fremen
to state of inglorous rcpose. We learn that in
London it has already failed to accomplish on a
large scale that which it seemed capable of doing
on small scale. 1t however may be very useful
to keep in private dwellings, or on board ships, but
that it has been too much praised there is no
doubt
The apparatus is only device for generating
rapidly gas, principally carbonic acid,) which,
by its own expansive power, is forced through a
small aperture and projected upon the fire. The
principle of the invention is old and well known.
1t ia only the repetition, larger SCALE of the
pertinent which we have all witnessed i'll lecture
room of extnguishing lighted candle by pouring
a jar of carbonic acid gas upon it.

SPLENDID DoNATIoN.-One of the most important
institutions OF New England, the New England
Historical and Genealogical Society, has just re-
ceived donation from the English government,
consisting Of about twenty folio volumes of its an =

that about five years ago that government made a
donation of it's published records TO this society,
and that in their passage the Atlantic, the
ship in which they was lost, and the records
and other freight went with it to the bottom.
