1t is but a shallow expedient, one wholly i'm
practicable in our opinion, now to attempt to
change the issue before the people, even were
there more time and better arguments shaped to
our hands. Change Of men cannot change the
issue, because the issue has been presented un-
der Democratic auspices and headed by Demo
cratic men. Any effort, therefore, in our opin-
ion, to change the issue now, would not only
weaken our party in the State, but it wiU ,oeak-

There is no getting at the exact particulars,
because the story has only oozed ont from

the fracas on Thursday afternoon, between Col.
Webb and Cen Wool IL, that during the day
Gen. Wool asserted his right TO review the
troops, as taking precedence Of the governor,
who Is only captair- general ofthe militia. The
claim was not admitted, as it was the militia
that was to be reviewed. Gen. Wool, however
agreed to 90 to the ground, and it was arranged
that he should have place in the governors
carriage In tho same carriage were Col. Bruce
and Col Webb, as aids of the governor. The
governor, observing that Gen. Wool and Col.
Webb were not speaking proposed to introduce
them. Gen. Wool snid he did not know Col
Webb, and did not want to know him. There
was then some auaon to certain article in the
Courier and Enquirer in which some reflections
were made upon the generalship of Wool. Col.
Webb, in Justification of himself, snd he bad a
'etter from General Taylor, In which he snid
that If Gen. Wool's ndvice had been followed,
the decisive battle OF Buena Vista would have
been lost. Gen. Wool said II was false; Col
Webb said he would prove II by publishing the
letter. General Wool dared him TO do so

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY or THE COMMERCIAL BANK
OF CLEyELAsD.-The Cleveland Herald of Mon
day evening says Last evening, about eight
o o'clock, clerk of the Commercial Branch Bank,
on going to the banking house, found the front
door barred against him. He went imm sdiately
afer another clerk, and the two on returning found
the back door open and the rooms in confusion
The solid masonry about the vault had been cut
away below the level Of the bottom stone flooring
and an excavation four feet in diameter and as
many in length, under the vault, had been made
The burglars had broken into the room Of o. II
Perry, Esq, on the floor above the Bank had cut
. hole through the floor, and by a strap attach ed
20 a desk, had lowered themselves into the bank
where they had probably been operating during
the whole of Sunday. A few hours more time
would have enable them to have undermined the
flooring of the vault.
That they were old hands at the business is
proved by the fact that they made no attempt 10
pick the Day and Newell locks Of the vault and
that they were too good judges of money to take
some excellent counterfsts on the State Bank OF
Ohio, which were in the till Their only booty
was few dollars in specie. They Left note over
the excavation, upon which was scrawled, "'Tis
hard to kick against these brick" more dnr-
ing and wel-plsnned attempt at robbery, or work
more speedily done, is not on record.

We have seen n letter from gentleman of
responsibility, which confirms, in the most am
pie manner, the accounts Of the mutilation of
the remains Of the fifty men who were executed
at Havana. We shall probably publish the let
ter at length 1t states also, that after the bat
ties which occurred between the invaders and
Spaniards, the latter bayoneted their wounded
foes when in their power.
These facts are decisive of the character of
Spanish rule. If the execution of the party of
fifty has excited. even in Europe, one universal
emotion Of horror and disgust, what is the SEN
timent that must be pronounced on the desecra-
ton of their remains. We observe it stated,
that General CoScHA declared he would iber-
ate the remaining prisoners but for the outrages
on the Spaniards ut New Orleans. We don't
believe word Of it. On the contrary, we be-
lieve the demonstrations of excitement at New
Orleans, New York, and other places, when the
news of the fate of the fifty arrived, saved the
lives Of all prisoners afterwards taken. And
we don't envy the feelings or the disposition of
the editors in this country, who Joined in sscrib-
ing piracy. robbery, and murder to the invaders
and gave countenance and color to the more
than Indian barbarity that was adopted toward.
our fellow countrymen. Az for the American
consul, we have deferred expressing our opinion
until now-for we thought him an amiable and
estimable gentleman. But the circular we pub
lish to-day, and the verdict of the prisoners, are
decisive. His case is beyond the reach of a
defence.

MIssIssIppI-The election for members the
State convention in Mississippi, took place on
the first Monday in this month, and the returns
indicate that another Georgia case has been
made of it. Out of sixty members known to be
elected, only seven are State rights men, and the
popular majority for submission, is said to ex-
ceed eight thousand. But let not our friends
despair at such disastrous news, fer Southern
independence, like American Independence can
only be the fruit of long years of travail--and
dscouraging as the prospect is it is bright com-
pared with the gloom that surrounded our revo
lutionary fathers, in their earliest struggles for
liberty. Let us be of good cheer, and never re-
lax our efforts, and our children will yet rejoice
with pride over our fidelity to our country, in
her Four of need. 1t is melancholy to think of
the too great probability that the gallant and
