The intelligence from these Islands is important.

and who has shown himself friend alike of the
King and the people, has been removed from his of

stated towards the annexation of the Islands to the
United States. The French and British Consuls had

The truth is, these Islands have been for several
years practically under the protection of the United
States Two years since the French endeavorcd to
force brandes into the Islands free of duties, and
otherwise to Cypress the native goverment but they
met by stern policy the part of our govern

THE TRAGEDY AT LOUISVILLE.

Professor Butler, principal of the High School,
Louisville, KY, shot by Mat. F. Ward, oldest
son OF r. j. Ward, Wednesday morning the I'd
instant and died that night. The Louisville Courier
gives the following account of it:
"He went to the High School accompanied by two
of his brothers, Robert Ward, youth of sixteen,
and William Ward, smaller boy and called for Mr..
VIM. II. G. Butler, one of the teachers. A few words
passed between them, when Mr.. Ward pulled out a
pistol and shot Mr.. Butler down. The ball pcnetra-
ted his left breast, the heart and he fell to the
floor, eXclaiming in his agony, &c am kiled-oh, my
poor wife and child" Ward then dropped his pis-
toll and accompanied by his brother, retreated from
the school room.
&C Mr.. Butler was able to rise from the floor, and
left the ROOM assisted by some boys, and was carr-
ed home. The ball could not be extracted, and he
bled inwardly. Mr.. Butler had corrected VIM. Ward
of his pupils, the day previous, for telling false
hood which led to the tragic affair.
Robert Ward, who accompanied his brother, drew
bowe-knife, and when Prof Sturgus, the other tea
cher in the school, advanced to the assistance of Mr.
Butler he made such demonstrations that the Pro-
fessor rrtreated and made his escape out OF wind
ow. The scholars in the school-room were also scat
tered in all directions by the display of such war
like instruments in their midst
Mr.. NJ. +. Ward and Robt j. Ward, Jr., were
promptly arrested and lodged in JAIL and the affair
will undergo judicial investigation, we fornear mar
rating the particulars.
Mr.. Butler was one of the best and most inoffen-
sive in the world, and who appreciate the
anguish of his friends at his being so untimey cut
off, and in such manner. The affair is generally
regarded as of most atrocious and unprovoked
character, and when it became known, the deepest
indignation prevailed throughout the city.
The Ward family is one of the wealthiest and most
prominent in Kentucky"
If the facts be as above stated, we trust the MUIR
derer will be duly hanged desperate effort will of
course be made to save him, for he is wealthy; but
Kentucky juries alike honest and fearless, and
unless bail is granted under large forfeiture justice
will most probably be done.

J NoRTH oARoLINA RAILRoAp..


NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.
We learn that the iron has been laid down upon
this Road for twelve miles this side of Goldsborough
and that the grading from that place to this is
pected to be completed by Christmas. The distance
from Goldsborough to the Neuse is twenty miles,
and engine, it is expected, will be put when
the iron is laid to the river. The distance from the
river to this point is about twenty. six miles. The
Company will take charge of the Road to the Neuse
will be entitled to do So after the list January.
We learn that the iron for this, the 1st Division,
which extends from Goldsborough to about six miles
above Raleigh, is of the heavy pattern, and looks
if it would do excellent service.
Gov. Morehead, the President OF the Company,
passed through this place On Wednesday last his
way to Beaufort. We understand he has recently
purchased the iron for the I'd Division, which
tends from the point mentioned, above Raleigh, to
the Gulford line. We do not know the price he is
to pay for the iron.
1t is confidently expected that the Road will be
completed from Goldsborough to this place by May
or June next; whereupon there will be such cele-
bration never witnessed in North Carolina.
Every body about here will then talk of Wilmington;
and Norfolk Portsmouth and Petersburg will scarce
ly be alluded to for at least week. Sowe go. We

about forty five miles-the distance from this point
to the former being about $780, and to the latter about
175 miles. We can breakfast in Raleigh and dine in
Wilmington, whereas now breakfast here and
sup in Norfolk. And when the Road shall have been
constructed to Beaufort shall be nearer to that
by railway than to Norfolk, by some 30 miles.
We learn that the grading of the North Carolina
Road is expected to be completed to Hllsborough by
the 1st of January next. We should be obliged to
the Hillsborough, Greensborough, Salisbury and
Charlotte papers for information to the condition
of the work in their respective sections.

MR.. DORBIN.


The Washington Union copies from this paper the
remarks of Mr. Dobbin delivered in the last Legisa-
ture of this State, and adds:
&C The present Secretary of the Navy, the Hon.
James G. Dobbin, of North Carolina, is known, ap-
preciated and esteemed for his shining talents emil
nent virtues and attachments in craftsmanship. No
member of the cabinet is more diligent and prompt
than he in the enlightened and praiseworthy dis
charge of the duties of his high and responsible po
sition Besides the high mental endownents of the
Secretary in his intercourse with the gallant officers
of navy and all others having business in his de-
partment he distinguished for his refined courtesy
urbanity, and politeness. No head of the Navy De-
partment, in short time, has ever effectu-
ally won the admiration and esteem of those brave
spirits whose heads proudly float, in distant
seas the " stars and stripes" emblematical of the
glory of their country.
But our object now is to transfer to our columns
extract from speech of Mr. Dobbin, delivered in
the North Carolina House of Commons on the 9th
of November, 1852, on the subject of the distribu-
ton of the money received by the federal govern
ment from the sale of public lands This extract es-
tablishcs what we have never doubted, that Mr. Dob
bin is consistent unfatering, and orthodox demo-
Graf. The speech made under peculiar circum-
stances. The orator had been named for the United
States senatorial dignity, and it known that
number of the members of the legislature had
pressed themselves fayorably to the distribution
measure as proposed in regard to the lands them
selves"

LATE News FROM CUBA By the Black Warrior,
just arrived at New York, have letter from our
correspondent at Cuba, dated October 26 1853, from
which we make the following extract;
g 1t seems now that the corps of secret agents of
the captain-general are employ in making many
proSeyteS to the apprentice system possble their
exertons are faithfully employed, and, IN many IN
stances that have heard of favoraby received. The
subject now Is under general discussion. From all
that can gather the subject, all that have writ
ten to you the subject since early in May last
seems in the course of fulihnent. / feel confident
that long you will have it confirmed from Europe
and carried out here by oclamation-possibly by.
the new captain general who is reported his way
If carried out, shall quit the island with the full
conviction that after should have another ST.

tracts for thirty forty thousand African apprenti

viii require all their troops to keep the slaves from
insurrection. The island will be kept in constant
turmoil. God forbid that this beautiful island should
ever meet such a fate! yet see no hope of any
thing to arrest it.
It cannet be matter of serious doubt with any In
telligent mind that there is scheme hand to At
ricanize Cuba by resortng to the apprentice system
The only question which can be made is, as to the
agency of Great Britain in carrying tout ofcourse,
1t will not be supposed by any that that govern
mcnt will take an open part in the scheme. 70 do
SO would be to concede by her own example, right
OF intervention on part which she aYows her de-
termination to resist at every cost 1t Will surprise
one to hear even that Great Britain has disclancd
any connexion with the scheme. But it does not
follow that because her finger is not distinctly seen
in the transaction that therefore she is not actually
pulling the wires. single fact will put the matter
to rest in our Judgment If she regards the appren-

like Mr.. Venable, is to profess to be Democratic but
at the time is to advocate the distribution of
