U. s. ships ordered to Cuha.

The N. Y. Journal of Commerce says that
dispatches were received by telegraph on
Tuesday evening at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
ordering the schoolship Preble and the brig
Dolphin to be prepared with all despatch, to
sail direct for Cuba. The object is supposed
to be to intercept any expeditions that may
be sent from this country for the invasion o.
the Island. A reinforcement of marines
will be put on board the Preble, in addition
to her usual complement.
1t is believed that orders have been sen

Further from Cuba.


The news from Havana on the Goth tlt.,
represent the revolutionary cause as gaining
ground, and the ranks Of the patriots to b
filling up from all parts Of the country.
On receiving news that Conte had been
captured by the Spanish--of which We gave
an account day or two since--the patriots
sent word to the government that in case he
was executed, they would at once put to
death the nine officers whom they had cap.
tured. Good pluck. ~ ~
Some of the papers In Havana have been
suspended by order of the government, that
is the defence of despotism-the limitation Of
speech and ress-freedom.
The patriots are in possession Of four inn
portant towns-Las Tanos, Sivannierce, Car
cora, and El Braya. The Spanish authori-
ties published bulletin that all attempts at
insurrection were suppressed and quiet pre-.
vailed; but this was falsehood designed to
discourage insmection--but it was no 60.
! Many Of the insurgents wives had Joined
their husbands in the rebel campl
The people Of Havana are only waiting to
know that the cause is strong in the country,
to rise in determined revolt. This is tbs
seat of Spanish power, and it would be SUI
cidal to attempt revolution there unless they
could be supported by country people.
With all this there are some contradictory
, reports. Itis said that the battle Of Principe
had created no alarm in Cuba, but that all
{ the stories were put afoat from Havana for
the purpose operating in the United States.
But this is not very likely, as considerable
CONSERVATION is evidently prevailing. ~

"The Faithful ExecutIon."-The Reason.

A Fugitive slave, mjraJae dictu, has actually
been delivered up to his master in Boston 1t is
nothing more than could have been done, without
the grossest and most inexcusabe I'M justice. By the
witnesses brought forward, he was proven, beyond
any possible reach of doubt to be the property of
Mr.. Potter-and nothing remained but to surren-
der him, or in other cases, to either nulEty the
land or snatch the prisoner from the hands of the
officers. By having the military in readiness, the
mob was inundated and justice allowed to take
its proper course. Had it not been that the law
less band of fanatics were inundated by fear,
have no doubt, that Sims would now be like Shad
rach, safe in Canada.
As it is, Sims is the first fugitive delivered up
in Boston during the last sixty years He is GER
tainy curiosity, and would give almost as
much to see him, as any tusus nature, or Feejee
mermaid, that was ever showed up by travelling
mOuntebank.
There is however, in our opinion more evidence
of policy in this surrender of SIMS than of respect
for the laws of the land. 1t is well known that
the trade of Boston suffered largely, after the riot
in the case of Shadrach, and that the loss of
southern trade account of those disgraceful pro-
ceedings, is estimated to amount to more than a
million of dollars. We do not wonder, therefore
that Sims given up. The pocket nerve Of the
Boston people was touched at last, and we have
in the surrender of this fugitive, the first evidence
of its sensitiveness. They afford to render up
few fugitives, for the sake of getting back SO
large an amount of trade diverted from Them
Such speculation cannot fail to be most profitable.
-Four cases SO far, under the new law, have come
up in Boston. In two of these the owners or the
agents for the owners, arrested on the most
trivial charges, held to bail in enormous sums and
at last compelled to leave the city without their
property. In another case, the fugitive slave
while being tried in court of justice, snatch
ed from the hands of the officers by wild and
lawless mob, in open day. The last case is the
case of Sims, the result of which is already known

The late Boston Fugitive Slave Case.

To tell the honest truth the late rendition OF the
slave Sims to his owner in Georgia was mystery
to rs that we could not unravel, knowing the IN
yeterate hostility to the slave law, slavery and the
south that existed in Boston but the whole thing
is revealed and made as clear as day light by the
following announcement made IN the Boston dHdS,
a free soil abolition paper, on the 10Th INST, two
davs mind Won. before the slave was decreed to
be delivered up to the agent of the owner:
S1us BouGHT IN BosToN-The Boston Atlas of
Saturday, the 10th instant says:
eve learn from Mr.. Fetridge that he has purch-
esed from the agent of the southern owner, the
slave Sims, for the sum of $150O-the slave to be
sent back to this city in six weeks from this Tune
after going through the necessary forms OF dellF
cry in Georgia. 1t is Mr.. Fetridge's intention 10
employ Sims agent for the sale OF articles
What pity it is to spoil all that the Flllmoreans
have made and expected TO make out OF TINS omS
case But so it is, it's all gome-evaporated by
the above disclosure. The people OF Bostan ~ere
assured ttco ddys an adpdnce that Sims beng ia
ken out of the State was all mere form, and
that he was only sent out thus temporarily to salts
fy the south and the forms OF the law. vi course
this accounts for the permission granted on the part
of the people to the officers OF the government to
remove Sims Poor ''soapies," what will they do
now for little comfort from their free-soll allies
in the north?
By the way, willy they are in the humor at the
north would it not bewise and prudent for those Of
the South who have runaway negroes at the north
to send on after their properly? Several who
have suffered in this way should club together and
employ an agent for the purpose. If the Bostoni-
ans and others will pay for the runaways and KEEP
them so much the better-1dUerteser and ia

if honest, he will divide it amongst his numerous

The New York Trade and Secession.

The New York Dry Goods Reporter, the organ
of that body of tradesmen, has recently put forth
two editorial articles, which show the panic pro-
duced in that city by the determined attitude of
South Carolina.
We give the last of these the precedence in
republication, in consequence of a very curious
suggestion which it contains. The admissions
made by this print, the sperpicacity of which is
sharpened by sefinterest, shows the lippant folly
of the taunts and threats freely INDUCED in, rel
alive to the meditated action of the sovereign
State of South Carolina:
ga CRISIS AT HAND.-Our remarks in the Re-
porter of Saturday last, the danger likely to
grow out of our relations with South Carolina in
the attitude she has assumed, have been so much
approved by our readers, that we think we may
venture to suggest a fitting conclusion to them
method by which the integrity of the Union
may be preserved, and one which we have nowhere
as yet seen brought forward.
Our readers will remember that our argument
was to this effect, if South Carolina even seeded
peacefully, it would be destructive to the moral
power of the Union, and the commerce of those
States, which yet chung together under the exist
ing Constitution and laws. Since with low duties
and an active commerce with other countries, she
might ruin for time, the business of the other
States.
Who would import goods into New York, where
80 and 40 per cent. are charged as duties when
they could land them at Charleston at per cent
and smuggle them thence into all the other
States
On the other hand, if South Carolina was re-
duced by force and kept by force in the Union, our
league would be one of force, and our Union only
an iron and bloody band.
Those short-sghted persons therefore, who say,
sit is small affair, South Carolina dare not Sc
-cede, if she does will whip her soundly,' are
very far from understanding the real dangers of
the case No victory over our brethren in South
Carolina could be any other than the 'bloodiest
picture in our book of time
We have come therefore to this conclusion.
that the merchants of this city should assemble
together convenient, and choose from their BODY
strong committee, composed of able, earnest
and patriotic men, disconnected as much as posi-
BILE with all present political movements, whose
business 1t should be to proceed to Charleston
forthwith, and there all their influence to sof
ten down existing asperities. They might pledge
this city, at least to the fuflment of all constiu
tional and legal engagements-they might assure
threatens to overthrow the laws and that however
we may differ in opinion, some points of only
local application, We disposed to maintain at
all hazards, the right of our sister States.
We believe visit of this sort wonld be bioblv
useful at this moment, and that the consequences
which would flow from it would be of the most
signal advantage to the country.
We hope the idea may be considered by those
who have so much at stake -
