From, Hayaua,

The steamship Isabel arrived at Charle:-
ton on the 18th instant, with dates from
HAVANA to the 9Th.
A military commission had tried number
of negroes for maltreating and otherwise
abusing their overseer in the District of
Pinal del Rio. They were sentenced to be
whipped portion receiving two hundred
lashes, and others one hundred and inprison-
ment with labor. The chief offender, free
negro, received two hundred lashes, and was
sentenced to be banished. RS ~ =
In Matanzas, the4crop Of sugar VS. said
to be very good. All the molasscs, however,
for the month of March, had been purchased
by the Eastern men for the United States.
All was quiet at Havana when the Isabel
left. A private letter from that city, dated
the 7th instant, says: sup to the present, it
is not known by the public what will be the
fate of the political prisoners, as Government
Is either undecided or is DESTROYS to keep its
intentions a profound secret to the last
Much anxiety is felt by the Cubans, and the
worst was feared" ~
The numerous friends Of the Vice-Presi-

learn from the subjoined extract from let

Ny DEAR Sir: We charged the residence
of our esteemed Vicc-Prcsident on Thursday
last, from the "Cumbre" to the sugar estate
of Col. John Chartrand, leaving the 'CuIabre'
at haIf-past twelve and dining at the delight
full 'Ariadne" al about four. The Fce-Pre-
sident was considerably fatigued with the
journey, but slept that night better, he told
me, than since he has been on the island; he
seems delighted with the change, and is more
hopeful and of better heart than since he
reached Matanzls, and at present inquest
ionably better than when he came here;
don't be surprised il the Colonel sends him
home tolerably well man. l am, in haste

The Doty Perjury Case...Nr. FORESTS
Opinion of the Jury.

From the Sunday aInses.
The Doty Perjury Case.--Mr. FORESTS
Opinion of the Jury.
The jury were out three hours. When
they returned, Mr. Forrest was seated beside
Mr.. Chatfeld the Attorney General. The
prisoner was directly opposite, surrounded by
his wife and some other female relatives. AT
precisely seven minutes past twelve O'Clock,
the Jury entered the court room and took their
usual seats.
The clerk called over the names, and when
he said, a,ientlemen, of the jury have you
agreed upon yeur ye,dict!" Dir. Forrest
looked with eagerness TO hear the response.
The foreman stood erect and exclaimed in O
loud and distinct voice, "Not Guity.' At
this announcement the eyelds of the Attor
ney General and Mr.. Forrest suddenly drop
ped, and Mr. Chatfeld called upon Mr Van
dervoort to roll the jury. Each and every ID
ror answered in the affirmative, and were at
once dismissed, and the crier of the court an
nounced its adjournment. =
The Jury then drew up near around the
ling in front of the Attorney eneral and
Mr.. Forrest, and the following conversation
ensued: ' So
4-Nr. ChatGeld, with his hand uplifted) said
-"Well. this ID remsrkabie; we n,i rl.t have
known it. .The jury have been reached in
some way. He (Doty would have been con-
yicted ifitried in any other county,"
Mr.. Forrest Indignantly "Yeu did not be-
lieve me!'' tsf H
A Voics-"NoI Their verdict shows it,"
A Juror.-.:We did believe every word
Dir. Fo rest swore 10, and on behalf OF the
| jury, am authorized to say, that one and
only one point saved Mr.. Doty; and that was,
we gave b m the full benefit Of all doubt that
existed in our minds" :, ,rsu znrs
Mr.. Forrest (asitated and visibIy excited
f,rsworn! You are perjured, and the cOmmu-
nifty willtreat you with contempt"
Not single jurymap resented this harsh
LAM uage. and thus ended the second chapter
IN the Forrest divorce case.

~ Sanders, of the Evansville Journal, is

Bah! The Courier tries to think because
We will not recognize in its fayorite John Pet

BLACKBOARD, that we look with distorted and
corrupt vision" upon every political opponent.
We are as willing to recognize virtue and
worth in a political opponent as in political
friend, and it is probably for that reason we
have searched vigilantly to find virtue or
worth in the editor of the Lafayette Courier,
and now feel the exceeding bitterness of dis
appointment. If the editor of the Courier
conceives every one mean man who enter
tains the same opinion of John Petit we do,
then he might find great many mean men in
the democratic party of Indiana, and espe-
cially of "Tbe Pocket" We confess to be,

meaner, if we can.
