The United states and Cuba.

The New York Herald of Thursday, under the
caption of "Lnportant from Washington" has a
letter from Washington to the Editors, of which
the following is an extract: a
~ hear it stated to-day, from such source as
seems correct that Mr.. John P. Kennedy, the Sec
Rotary Of the Navy, has ordered Capt Porter of the
Crescent City, TO repair to Washington to give an
account to the Government of his recent transac-
tions at Havana. The President and Cabinet have
had the matter under consideration, at the request
of Mr. Calderou de la Barca and tits surmised that
our Government has disapproved the conduct of
Capt. Porter, and will withdraw him from the
Crescent City, and order him to sea Immediately"
The National Intelligencer of this morning says:
We have taken Some pains to inform ourselves
correctly on this subject and have learned from an
authentic source that the letter, in all its material
statements, is tissue of Misrepresentation.
It is true that the Secretary OF the Navy has or
dered Lieut.. Porter TO repair to Washington; but
this was done, not at the request of the Spanish
Minister, but from his sense of what was right
and proper under the circumstances of the case
Complaints have been made from various quarters
of the conduct of the authorities of Cuba in regard
to the Crescent City, and it was therefore deemed
advisable to ascertain from Lieut.. Porter in person
what were the facts of the affair. When they
shall have been made known to the Government
it will have the means of deciding what course it
will be proper to pursue. la

opeuiug of a Railroad.


The completion of the Hanover Branch Rail-
road, to Hanover, says the Baltimore Patriot,
was celebrated in appropriate manner. A
special train of cars left the Calvert station, at
so'clock in the morning, containing about two hun
dred of our citizens, among whom were the Presi-
dent and Directors of the Baltimore and Susque-
hanna Railroad Company, the Mayor of Baltimore
elect, John Smith Hollins Esq, the members Of the
City Council elect, several members of the last
Council, Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, and number of other invited guests. A
band of music was also in attendance to add to the
pleasures of the occasion.
The cars containing the company arrived at the
junction of the Hanover and Susquehanna roads
about quarter ii o'clock. Here, they were receiv-
ed by number of citizens from York, including Eli
Lewis, ESQ.,, Mr.. Bainitz and others. who came
down in train of cars to meet them. The trains
then proceeded on their way to Hanover, passing
through country teemiug with rich productions
and displaying on every hand the highest state of
cultivation. They arrived at their point of destina-
ton about o'clock, where nearly the whole popu-
laton had turned out to meet them including large
numbers from York and Adams counties, among
whom were a considerable number of ladies'.

From the Baltimore Patriot.
A paaI Cy1;ncher

The Washington Union, New York Herald. and
other Democratic Journals, charge Gen. Scott with
being the first Presidential fspeech-making cand-
date.' The high character tor eyaracity or the
veteran is to be cast into the shade, and
his word, that his tour is a professional one,
not to be believed. Since the charge has been
made, deny most emphatically, and refer the ed
itors to their own files for proof OF what say.
Perhaps, Messrs. Editors, you can prove it. Will
these impartial critics inform the public whether
the great idol oft. e Democracy, General Lewis
Cass resigned his s. at in the U. S. Senate, in or
der that he might return home by way OF the great
cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New forSt
Was he not received by his baltimore friends at the
Exchange, and did he not address them? Did he
not arrive in Philadelphia while the Wing Nation
al convention was in session, and very dlscourte-
ously addressed the Democracy from Jones HOTEL,
almost causing disturbance between the two e1-
oited parties? Did he not speak IN New forkf--T
Did not the noise and confusion prevent him from
being heard in the West, when questioned about
internal improvements Gen. Scott travels I'M
accompanied in performance of his duty. Gen.
Cass went as The Democratic nominee, and was
accompanied by Houston, Benton, Foote, Bright,
and Allen of Ohio Scott travels as quietly as pos
sible by the regular trains, &C.; Cass went in ex
ira trains, &C., and caused as much excitement as
he could. Gen. Scott stops at little towns on the
route; Gen. Cas- left the cars, and went to towns
not on the road. The writer was at Princeton at
the time, and all present can testify, that General
Cass appeared upon the college grounds, unknown
to the students or citizens, and then (having been
discovercd) was accompanied by crowd, mostly
Wings, 10 the depot, where he made a speech.---
So that he went from the depot TO the college, a
distance of mile, that his friends might know he
was about, and might go to the depot, and hear him
speak. He was welcomed as the Democratic NOM
inee, and as such responded, and alluded to his
position before the PEOPLE. If Scottspeaks of him
self, SO did Cass; if Scott praises the towns and
their inhabitants, so did Cas-. The papers OF the
day will prove what is said. Is it then crime for
Gen. Scott to do what Cass could do with proprie-
ty? If the Democrats will denounce Cas- as well
as Scott and grieve thattheir great idol first dis
sraced the Presidential office by electioneerlng,
they will appear sincere Asit is, the ryis raised
of experimenting candidate, forgetting that Cass
was the example. Let all fee thinkers judge be-
tween the two, which acted worse---CasS, accom-
panied b, several leading Democratic U. S. Sena-
tors, all making speeches, as Democrats, or Gen,
Scott unaccompanied, but by the hearts OF the
people. lfScott makes more speeches, 1t Is be-
cause he ismore popular Judge not, that we be
not Judged VERlTAS.

DEATH OF GEORGE FIcKLEN, Esa.-We regret to
learn that George Ficklen, Esq, died at his re-
sidence, in this county, en- Saturday morning last.
Mr.. Ficklen is well known throughout this and the
adjoining counties as a gentleman of wealth and
decided enterprise. The Hazel river improvement,
as ii termed, (cana is result of his industry, in
which has been placed large amount of his funds.
In public spirited operations, Mr.. F. took the lead,
and gave of his time, his talent and energy and his
money, to prosecute and forward whatever had been
undertaken. The community have lost an enter
prsing citizen in the demise of Mr.. F. His disease,
we understand, was an attack on the heart and
terminated suddenly as it was fatal.-Culpeper

plt is not the fault of Gen. Scott, says the
Albany Journal, that the people gather around him.
1t isthe custom of the people all over the world
honor virtue and gallantry. In the person of Gen.
Scott, they see a veteran who has been almost
half century fighting their battles. Called among
them by public duty, they avail themselves of the
occasion to pay him the homage oftheir gratitude
What has, in other times, been done for Washing
ton, for Jackson, for Harrison and for Taylor, is
now being done for Scott. lc7+

Silver Coins.

We published an article yesterday on silver coins,
copied from the New York Journal Of Commerce.
The Courier anil Enquirer, in reference to the ar
tice. says: '-''A e.
Zone of our contemporaries objects to the exist
ing law by which the Mint retains the small por-
lions of silver which are found in the gold deposits
in its coming operations, it may be said that the ad
vantage is a very slight one; and that in the alb
sence of any law fixing a seignorase on the Mint
coinage, this small profit should ensure to the Gov.
eminent for the heavy expenses incurred in behalf
of the Mint" t55-s5f 80 Lsr,-.

Church, met in the basement of the new Methodist
building, on yesterday. The absence of Bishop
Capers delayed the organization OF the house and

The Bishop, however, arrived last night, and they
are now proceeding in harmony and spirit.
We called in a short time, yesterday, and wit
messed their deliberations. They were conducted
with great propriety and with ability in the discus

CORRECT SENrrMENr.-The Union of yesterday
says: "When man lives among his slanderers, and
survives long enough to live them down. he
achieves triumph of unspeakable qualification to
himself, and of inestmable value to his country"
Henry Clay afforded a striking evidence of the
truth of the Unions remarks. He lived among
his slanderers and he lived them dowT-and, if his
departed spirit be cognzant of human transactions,
it has witnessed the tears of his slanderers shed
over his grave. He who was Devil with them du-
ring many years of his life, is Deiied by them in
death.
The case ofMr. Clay teaches us the little res
pect which should be paid to the denunciatons of
political opponents, and the proprety of persisting
in an honest and consistent course of conduct
Had he possessed less principle and thrown aside
patriotism, he. might have been President of the
United States-but he thought it better TO be right
than to be presidents; and he continued to the hour
of his death an honest man, and conscientious
politician. Let others pursue the same path, and
justice will be done to their memories, lift be with
held during life.-Bait. Clipper.

FoRoEnY.-It has been ascertained that forged
notes to the amount of about $500, have been
drawn to the names of Messrs. Thomas and Samuel
Hardgrore, tobacco manufacturers, and Hiram NJ.
Smith, agricultural implement maker of this city,
by man well known here, named A. Bogart.-
The forgeries were SO well executed as to deceive
third persons, familiar with all the parties, and who
advanced the money for the notes. The forger left
the city, we understand, on Saturday night last,
in the northern cars, for parts unknown. He is
the man who was found guilty of similar offence,
some years ago, in this city, and sent to the penten
tiary for the term of five years. The Governor re-
mitted two years of his sentence, and he has, since
that time, been following his former business of
clerk, for which duties he had few superors, and,
apparently, was striving, by sober and industri-
Gus course of conduct, to regain the confidence of
the community. He is man of genteel appear
ance, apparently between 45 and so years of age,
about feet inches high, of heavy make, fleshy
face, and wears Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
