THE CAPTURE OF LopEz.-Lieut. VAN VETcH-
EN-, one of the liberated prisoners, has published
a narrative OF the Lopez Expedition. He thus
briefly relates how Lopez was captured:
Lopez was caught with bloodhounds, in the
mountains, on the morning of Friday, the goth
inst. The dogs being SOM distance in advance OF
the men, bit him badly in the left leg. There were
seventeen countrymen in the party who captured
him, each of whom was publicly presented with
$1,000 and a cross of honor Immediately after his
execution.
The same writer thus describes the reception
met with on their landing upon the Island of Cuba
to assist in freeing it from the yoke Of Spain:
As l have already stated, our first salutation was
a volley Of musketry, instead OF, as the Delta as
serts, a la-ge body of friends with horses, stores,
&c, for our use. Instead Of finding the Creoles
our friends, we found them our most bitter enc
mics, far more SO than the ~troops-keeping the
troops constantly informed of our movements, and
hanging on our skirts, putting to death without
mercy all those who struggled on the march. Of
the troops l cannot but speak in praise, without a
single exception. They treated the prisoners with
the utmost kindness, giving them wine, cigars,
bread. tobacco, and arguadiente freely, and from
their own small means. Imagine that no one
will pretend to say that we had q right to expect
such treatment. Our conduct forced and demand
ed their respect, but certainly we had no claim Ell
Their on their sympathy or generosity.

TELEGRApH1c DEsrATcHEs.-We find the fol-

The fugitive slave of Mr.. Gorsuch, who has been
recently killed in an attempt to capture him in
Christiana, Pa, has been arrested near Lancaster
President Fillmore has returned to Washington,

Invitation to Mr.. Penn.

The following copy of a letter to Hon. A. G
PENN, written by r. A. UProy, the Wing and
Union candidate for Congress in this the Third
Congressional District, has been forwarded to us
for publication. AS it is not known whether the
original will reach Mr.. PENN at Covington, Ito
which place it was addressed) in time for him to
accept the challenge for a public discussion, which
it contains, it has been thought advisable to have
the same published in the papers Of the District,
in which manner it is much more likely to reach
the eye of the gentleman at an early day.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. PENN will not dodge
this opportunity, thus offered him, to 'Jace the mn-
SIC"

places as will suit your convenience, fcr the pur-

WasuIScrnS SAINT II

"aoHiNH 1oN, ctpt. ~.
A telegraphic despatch received here from
New Orleans this morning, at the Departments
states that the prisoners in Cuba, one hundred
and thirty in number, were to have sailed for
Spain On the 9th instant. This intention has
probably been carried out, as there was no time
for the intercession Of this Government to
reach Havana.
The benevolent intentions of the President
will not, however flag, and it is understood that
the last steamer to Europe carried out ~instruc-
tons to urge the Spanish government to ex-
ercise mercy towards her unfortunate and mis-
guided prisoners.
The course of the President will be warmly
approved by the whole American people.
1t is stated that the California Land Com
missioners have conferred the position of Sc
cretary to the Board on DR.. Charles w. Davis,
a gentleman who served with great credit to
himself on Gen. WOODS staff in Mexico. DR..
Davis is a ripe Spanish scholar, and the Board
will doubtless be greatly benefited by the az
QUESTION of so competent an officer.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18th, 81. NJ

The Democrats leagued wih the Abolition
ISIS An immense Wing meetings. convened
in Independence Square tonight, Frederick
Fraley, President, with a large number of Vice
Presidents and eight Secretaries. Fraley spoke
at length in behalf of the Wing nominations.
Judge Conrad then introduced a series of reso-
l~utions, one of which refers to the recent out
rage at Christiana, designating it as the natural
fruit of the ~factious course of the Democrats
representing a large body of citizens opposed
to the Fugitive Slave Law, and applaudinq the
action of Governor Johnston in offering a re-
VI ard for the arrest ofthe offenders. After the
resolutions, Governor Johnston was introdu-
ced, and spoke for an hour and a half in de-
fence of the Wing policy. The meeting is
very enthusiastic.

Mr.. UproN's MovEMENrs.-This gentleman,
who, at this late day, enters the Congressional can
vass in the Third Congressional District, is max
ing the most of the short time allowed him. He
has lately returned from Livingston parish, and
givesa good account of matters there, and is now
on his way up the river-in fact, designing to visit
every point in the District which he is able to do.
Until the Sd of November, his movements will be
rapid, industrious and energetic, and we hope effec-
tive. Let all the Wings and Union Democrats
throughout the District unite in giving him a hear
ty and whole-souled support.

ANOTHER STATE FOR THE UH1oN.-The peo-
pie of North Michigan, in the Lake Superior
country, are demanding a separate State gov
eminent. The reasons are, that there is no
geographical connection between the two PEN
insulas; separated not only by water, but in
winter hundreds Of miles Of d-eary wilder
nesses, they have no communication. They
have every thing within themselves requisite
for an important State; the mineral wealth is
but just beginning to develope ITSELF the fish
cries are in their infancy, and its agricultural
advantages have been vastly moderated; all
these with its commercial advantages, will
make, it is commended, an important State of
North Michigan.

CONGRESSIONAL CANvAss-1he Third Dis
rict.-The New Orleans Bee, in speaking Of
the Congressional Canvass in the State, says:
The action of the Wing Convention of the
First Congressional District completes the
ticket throughout the State. With such can
didates as Richard Hagan in the First, ]. Aris-
tide Landry in the Second, r. A. Upton in the
Third, and John Moore in the Fourth District,
the Wings and Unionists of Louisiana may
justly entertain sanguine expectations of a glo-
rious victory. Certainly the prospect of sue
cess is far more suspicious than it has ever
been before. Since the Congressional appor-
tionment len years ago, the Wings have never
carried more than one district out of the four,
and on one occasion lost all. The First District
has never been seriously contested until now.
In the Second, the Democrats nave always
made a powerful, though generally a vain
struggle for success. The Third has been
again and again vainly canvassed by the Wings;
while the Fourth, in spite Of the most deter
mined exertions has invariably sent a Locofo-
co to Congress. Appearances indicate a much
more cheering result in November. * X Il
The Third District is contested by the
Wings, for honor rather than in the hope of
victory. The District is hopeiessly democrat
ic, Mr.. Penn is extremely popular, and is, we
understand, fully committed to the support of
the Compromise. Mr.. Upton, the Wing can.
didate, though a gentleman of fine abilities,
and every way worthy of the nomination, has
been chosen at too late a day to canvass so ex-
tensive a District. Wherever he is known. he
will run we'll, and obtain more than a party
vote. Had he been selected at an earlier peri
cd, we should not nov despair of his success.

~some genius in Baton Rouge has published
in the Gazette, zone hundred corrections" in the
late decision of Judge BURKE, delivered at Don
aldsonville. The Gazette exculpates itself by say
ing that it was copied, word for word, from this
paper and we can do the same by saying that
we did not copy it exactly from the Tigilamt, for
we corrected many palpable errors evidently made
by the compositor. But, taking it as corrected by
the Gazate's correspondent, We will venture to
make a rough guess that there are not now t~o
lines in the whole production which have any mean
