Highly important from Cuba.-SueeeS Of Lopez.
The following highly important despatch was received
from the editor OF the Savannah Morning News last
night:
SAVANNAH, Sept. l-la, P; m,-The schooner Mer,
of August Her is of intense interest, and highly
encouraging for the patriots Since the 18th, General
Lopez and his army had encountered the Spaniards in
several contests, in all OF which the latter had been de-
feated with very heavy loss.
On the 17h battle occurred. in which General Enna
commander in chief Of The Queens forces, was killed.
together with large number OF officers and men,
Lopez is now marching upon Havana at the head OF
an army Of 1900 1000 men, which is daily receiving
large accessons from the surrounding country.
The Spanish troops completely cowed by the ire
Quent reverses which they have sustained.
General Emma was buried with great pomp in Havana
the 20th.
The greatest excitement and CONSERVATION prevailed in
that city, as there only hundred OF the troops
there, who could offer but feeble resistance.
Later from Cuba.
Since the above article was in type, we have received
the following telegaphc report which confirms the hope
that Lopez il still successful and that the struggle of the
noble Cubans will terminate in favor Of their ndpend
ence and freedom:
