The TELEeRApHIc DEspAreHEs from this city
grow more circumstantial in their details as they
get further north We have already had returned
to us from Charleston the fancy story-news TO all
of us here--that the Spanish consul took refuge in
the city prison, and that "two thousand liberia
tors were clamorous around the walls threatening
to pull them down if he should not be delivered up
IL should create but little surprise that we cannot
get authentic details of what is transpiring in the
mountains of Cuba, filled and obstructed as the
communication is by hostile forces in open battle
array, when the simplest details of fact are trans
mtted in our own peaceful country, twenty -four
hours after their occurrence, in such shape that
they cannot be recognized by those who were pre-
sent Scarcely telcgraphic account to the North,
that has come under our observation, has given
any thing like an Ineligible idea OF the disturb
ances on the 2lst ult. and some of them as we
have seen, deal in extravagant fctions. The story
about the mobbing of the prison by the lberltore.
in order to get at the consul, although it ia dec
ttute of plausible fact to support il, ID outdone
in ingenuity of fictitious details by the following
"The most painful part of the affair remains TO
be told. The Empire City brought the remains of
Colonel Crittenden, (nephew to Attorney General
Critenden,) and CAPT ain Victor Kerr, who were go
inhumanly murdered by the Spanish government
at Havana, to this city. A deep feeling of awe
people endeavored to get sight of the cofhns con-
tanning their dead bodies. This gave rise to the
sudden outbreak last night Minute guns have
been fred since sunrise in honor Of the murdered
liberators."
This bears date August 22d, day after the
" outbreak which it traces TO the excitement Of
the popular feelings reused by the sight of the cof
fins containing the bodies OF the Havana martyrs!
when, too, it could not but have been known that
the rumor of the arrival of their remains was ut
terly unfounded. In fact, they have never yet
reached-herc There has becn to say the

DEATH OF SAMUra BowLEs We are panied to
hear of the death OF SAMUEL BowLEs, sr., of the
Springfield Republican, who died at his residence
in that place, on Monday night. His fatal disease
dysentory, aggravated by chronic bowel
difficulty. He had been sick two weeks, and
though suffering painfully throughout, was con-
scous to the last moment. He was fifty four years
old, and followed to the grave, within few weeks,
an only sister, grandchild, and his eldest daugh,
ter. Mr.. b. was practical printer, and served
his apprenticeship in this city. For number Of
years he ono of the publishers of the Hartford
Times. We think il was in 1923 that he removed
TO Springfield, where he commenced the publica-
ton of the Republican, and his connexion with that
paper was continued till the time OF his decease.
He was Democrat of the old school, but, on the
breaking up Of the old parties, he could not go
with those of his political associates who favored
the election OF General Jackson, and his zeal and
services in the Whig cause are we'll known. Mr..
b. was noted for his habits of industry, for the
soundness of his opinions, for his consistency for
honesty of purpose-and few who have occupied
the post OF editor have gained more friends or
made fewer enemies Hartford Conn., Corant
