1t is announced in the National Intelli-
gencer that the patent right Of Phillips cele-
brated Fire Annihilator has been purchased
by some citizens of the United States oil
high standing. The Intelligencer adds
The members of the company have been
in conference in Washington several days
past, and the result Of their meeting, we un-
derstand, has been the appointment Of the
Hon. Elisha Whiulesey as President of the
Company, and P. II. Barnum, Esq, of world
wide celebrity, as General Manager and Sc
cretsry. Such an organization gives 10 the
public every guarantee of good faith. The
universal respect in which MIR. Whililesey
is held throughout our country, and his
known probity and talents, will command
confidence in every purpose to which he
gives the sanction Of his name and connex-
ion. As for Mr.. Barnum-the least visiona-
~ and the most PRACTICAL, spacious, and
energetic Of all the sons of ankeedom,
which Is as much as TO say Of ''all the world
ond the rest of Observation-Disclosures he takes
in hand is bound to succeed.
The Company have already entered on
measures for the fabrication of annihlators
as fast as possible, until they shall be COM
mensura,e with the demands of the country,
and that we presume will be every house
throughout the land worth saving from the
flames.

THE LATE GENERAL LoPEz.-The fol-
lowing brief sketch of this undoubtedly
brave, but deluded and mistaken man, will
be read with interest at this time:
Narciso Lopez, who has lost his life ig-
ANONYMOUSLY at Havana, was born of wealthy
parents in Venezuela in 1899. He was the
only son Of his parents that grew to man
hood, though he had number Of sisters
His father had commercial house in Cara
cas-, branch of which a, Valencia, in the
interior, was placed under the charge OF
Narciso at an ear " age. During the trou-
bles Of 1914, young Lopez sided with the
popular party, but afterwards enlisted in the
Spanish army, when fortune turned in its
favor, and at the end Of The civil war he was
made Colonel when only lwenty-lhree
years of age.
After the Spanish army evacuated Venez-
uela, Lopez went to Cuba, where he remain
ed and established himselfin life, soon max
ing himself conspicuous by his advocacy Of
liberal principles. During the first Carlis.
troubles he CHANGED to be in Madrid on pri-
vate business. Having Joined the royalist
party he was made aidde-camp to the COM
mander-n- chief, Gen. Valdez, and received
several military decorations. He was hon
ored with several important Offices by the
Queen, and finally was made Governor OF
Madrid. Afterwards, as Senator from Sc
vile, he is said to have made the condition
of Cuba his especial study, and the expul-
sion of the Cuban deputies from the Cor,es
induced him TO res On his Offices and return
to The Island There he held several posts
under the Captain General Valdez Final
~ he undertook the re-working Of an aban-
doned copper mine in The Central Depart
ment, where he is said TO have employed
his time in inslilling liberal principles into
the minds Of the populace.
In 1919, when he thought everything was
ripe for revolution, he came TO the United
States and got up the immature and worse
than useless attempt a, an invasion, known
as the Round Island Expedition. In May,
1850, the famous invasion and sudden evacu-
alton Of Cardenas took place. In August,
1851, he again landed IN Cuba, at Bahia
Honda. His followers were speedily de-
slroyej or captured, and he himself, flu
gilive among the mountains, was taken on
the 9Th of August. On the lst Of Sepem-
Der, 1851, he suffered the ignomiuous death
Of the Garotte, at Havana. These are the
principal events Of life, remarkable for its
Inconsistencies. Lopez's integrity as pa
trio, has been often questioned, but we are
willing to refer is errors rather to his head
than his heart.

PORT TOBACCO, MD.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEP. 10, 1851
THE News FROM CUBA.-The account

The NEWS FROM CUBA.-The accounts
which we published last week from Cuba
were well calculated to elevate TO the high
est degree the hopes Of the friends of the
Lopez expedition, but to be depressed by
other news conveying intelligence of the
sad reverse of fortune that has befallen tina,
brave but deluded adven,urer and his fol-
lowers. He has been captured and execu-
ted, and the small remnan. of his little band
who survive him, will probably end their
days in the quick silver mines of Spain
Our citizens do we'll to sympa.hize with
those who are oppressed by despo.ism, yet,
we think, they should not be hasty in offer
ing help before it is asked for. If The Gre
oles of Cuba really desire independence, lei
them strike the first blow, and show will
lingness TO hazard their lives to gain it, and
then j, will be time for our brave citizens to
risk their lives in behalf Of their oppressed
neighbors. There has evidently been too
much rashness manifested by Lopez and his
followers. Blu. the hard fate to which they
have been compelled to submit, will serve
as lesson to others Of our ardent and in
discreet spirits, who are always ready for
the fray, and we trust ii will not soon be
forgotten,

THE LAST WORDS OF Col CMrrENDEN.
A private letter from an American gentleman
in Havana states an incident ss occurring at
the execution of the SO expeditionsts, which
is interesting if true. il is, that when Col.
Critlenden was told 10 turn his back and
kneel, he impaien'ly exclaimed: ".No
kmeez only TO God, and meuer turn mig back
to the enemy" The guard stepped back,
and he was lief, to face the almos, ins,sn,
fire of the platoon, which he did with the
utmost GOODNESS. An American is usual y
q man whether as bravo, patriot, or in
almost any other phase OF life Sun

UPPER MARLBORO, Sept. l, 1851.
General Thomas F. Bo,cie,
My DEAR SIR Il think it due as well to you,
as myself, to state why did not withdraw your
name from the Convention which re assembled
at Bladensburg on Saturday last, Gas instructed,
before any expression of opinion was had, and
am sure that the motives which actuated me will
be sufficient to justify my
Being very anxious to preserve harmony in
the Wing party, and believing that this depended
mainly on your nomination, on reaching Badens-
burgh consulted with many of the delegates up
on the probable result of the Convention, and
was lead at least to hope that your nomination
could be secured. Under this impression, |
sumed the responsibility Of permitting your name
to remain before the Convention until several bal
lots were taken, when | discovered that the same
determination to defeat your nomination which
pervaded the Convention at its first assembling,
still existed. and | Immediately withdrew your
name, thereby leaving you free to act, as your own
sense of right, and the interest of your much i'll
jurcd county, might seem to demand. In this 1
acted upon my own responsibility, with a sincere
attachment to the Wing party, and with know
ledge of the many disappointment to which
county has been subjected by Congressional Con-
ventions.
Very truly yours,
SAMUEL II. BERRY.

Itis strange, passing strange, that in n. York

dare deny, that almost the entire mass of the whig

the great body of the democratic party with few
consistent republican wings, opposed him because
he did not ssstand upon the established principles
of the democratic faith--a strict construction OF
