Ey The Wing still insists that Gen Cass is
opposed to Kossuth, but he has not yet deigned
to enlighten his readers as to the position Of bis
own candidate, Gen. Scott. This charge against
Gen. Cass is extremely Donsensical, and is not
supported by the least particle of proof. No
public man in this country has more fearlessly
taken his stand upon the question of non-inter.
vention than Gen Cass; none has more ably and
| eloquently defended his position, and none has
| more inspired Kessuth and his friends with hope
and courage than he. The noble Magyar has
found in him from the first, an ardent and stead.

IMPoKrAsr AS TO ruE Losos IsLAS

IMPORTANT As TO THE LoRos ISLANDS
The New York Express is in the re-
ccipt of Intelligence from Paita, to the
effect that the news had reached there.
that several American vessels had left
the United States to take guano at the
Lobos Islands, and that moreover the
American Secretary Of State was
heartily in favor OF the movement
Acting upon this information the pre-
icct OF the Department, We arc assured,
had commanded the Immediate rein
iorcemcut ola Peruvian garrison that
had already bccn established on the
Islands, with the determination, so the
story ran, to oppose the taking OF gu
ano, at ai hazards. If,his intelligence
be true there is likely to be trouble
when the American vessels arrive
Adviccs from that quarter will be
looked for with great interest.

GoISG HONE AaAls.-The Charles
ton Courier Of Monday relates the
following:
On Saturday last a gentleman of
Alabama arrived in this city from
Baltimore, having with him a negro,
who had run away from his plantation
sometime since, and whom he had re-
covered under the following singular
circumstances. Standing one morning
recently in front of the Hotel at which
he was sojourning at Baltimore, he
was accosted by halt.starvcd and pi-
table looking negro, whom he present
" recognised as the fugitive from his
estate. Asking him what he wanted,
he stated that he had been residing in
Canada, and after having suffered in.
Vulnerable hardships he had detcrmin-
ed to retracc his steps and return to
the home which he had so abruptly
quilted, and had got SO far when prov
idcntally he found his master, and
now cntrcated him to take him back
with him. The warm hear ted Planter
at once consented, fed and clothed him,
and the negro passed through this city
with him as contcnted and happy u
mortal rs any OH earth. He has learn
ed lesson he will never forget, and
affords practical commentary on the
insanity of those who would interfere
with condition of things, the practi.
cal working of which is perfectly un,.
known to them. #

The 29lh Of July, aud reports that
Capt. Marcy and his command had
