CHARLESTON, Feb. 18th, ls55.--The steamship
Isabel, Captain Rollins, arrived here this morning
from Havana via Key West, having left Havana on
the evening of the 10th.
Great excitement continued to exist at Havana,
in consequence of the discovery of the plot to
sinate the Captain General and his advisers, at the
opera.
On the 9Th inst, Don Ramon Pinto, an intimate
friend of Gen, Concha was arrested, and 85 other
influential citizens; and the 9th inst, 40 others
were arrested The Governor of Matanzas'is also
reported to have been arrested also, Almeda, the
rich planter of Trinidad also, Mait Of the opera.
A descent of General Quitman upon the island
with force of eight thousand men was very much
feared.
Gen. Concha has issued proclamation, in which,
after referring to the arrests already made, he
speaks ofthe expected expedition from The United
States, and says;
''If the expedition should arrive, it viii be
promptly and completely destroyed, and war will
be carried on against the foreign adventures with

Of what is most Sacred the tranquility of nations
by bands Of adyenturers, which remind us of the
times Of the ancient fllbusters But in the last
case the government has full confidence because it
not only counts on the forces sufficient in troops
and vessels ofwar, but has the assurance that an
immense majority of the inhabitants will take part

will repel by themselves those who with oppro-
brium TO their cause have not receded, nor will
do so, from the perfdious idea Of assassination

There was but little business doing in sugar, the
demand for Spain having ceased, and purchasers
feeling unwilling to pay former rates. The stock

A dispatch from Bucharest brings the intel renee that an expedition had been undertaken

A dispatch from Bucharest brings the inel- ligence that an expedition had been undertaken against Perekop. The Russian accounts admit ting the success of the allies in the Sea of Azoff are made public. They confirm the success claimed by the French and English press, but state that the operations were expected The stores and grain destroyed were private proper- ty and not intended for the use of the army The correspondence relates horrible atrocities which were perpetrated by the French and Turks at the capture of Kertsch.
 A dispatch from Verna, dated 17th ultimo, which was retarded on the way. says that the Russians made an unsuccessful attack on Kers, anb reported that they had taken Armapa. The Austrian commander had proclaimed martial law in Modavia, but the Moldavian authorities refused to promulgate it unless further author ized by the Sultan.

Fort SaO5th, July 5th, 1855.
 MR. EDlToR:-On yesterday we had a very serious riot here, in which one man was killed and three others dangerously wounded. I write you merely to give you a correct version of the matter, as I have heard it from reliable persons. was not in town myself at the time the difficulty took place.
 The Odd Fellows gave a dinner at the St. Charles Hotel, on yesterday, in celebration of the glorious 4th and, after an oration by Mir. King, the orator of the day, and the partaking of an excellent dinner prepared by Mr. McKen- ze, the worthy host at the St. Charles, (who is noted for gracing his table with all the good things to be found in our country) were quiet ly retiring they were attacked by some rufian. teamsters of the government from Fort Ar. buckle. This was one of the most wanton, unproyoked outrages on the part of the team sters that l have ever known and the men that were wounded and the man that was killed, were wounded and killed by our best citizens in self defense; and what could have nsti- gated these teamsters to attack the men they did, except the devil and whiskey, is beyond explanation.
 It seems that the man killed whose name was Henry Doyle, had been committed to the city prison, previous to this outrage, for viola ton of city ordinance, and had been released by the solicitation of some of our best citizens, in order to satisfy the teamsters who were threatening to pull down the city prison. It was expected by those persons who baed the deceased, that he would go to his quarters and be quiet, and that this leniency would stop the row that seemed to be brewing; but no sooner did Doyle get out of jail, than lie mustered his comrades and commenced the attack as have before stated. Some of our best citizens nar- rowly escaped being killed.
 hope 1t will be long before such another occurrence will take place in Fort Smith. The men wounded are Michael Kelly, James Kel- ly, and Henry Williams; it is thought they will all recover. The names of those who killed Doyle are not known, but several of our best citizens are known to have shot at him. His conduct was so grossly outrageous that there has scarcely been an inquiry about the matter. All regret that parcel of strangers should have forced our citizens in detence of their persons to have taken the life of fellow being. I am yours,

Details of America:s News.

KalJar, June 5.-Raglan's dispatch derived from newspaper correspondence, is received. It describes the gallant capture of Marmalon and the quaries. It is said that the facts con- nected with it are generally correct. The allies have made an unsuccessful attempt at Sebasto- pol A variety of rumors not creditable to the allies are prevalent in regard to the transaction According to some accounts the English loss is set down at 4,OO0 men, but 1t is believed by some that the number is exaggerated basing their opinions upon what are said to be official statements. Lord Papmure regrets to announce that he has received information that the En- glish troops had attacked Redan, and the French Malakoff (towers) at day light on the morning of the 18th, without the success which has hitherto attended the efforts of the allied forces; that both the French and English troops suffered considerably.
 The advices from Gen. Pelisser are to the same effect. Private accounts published in the London Standard, set down the British officers killed and wounded at not less than seventy. Among the killed are Gens Campbell and Shad- ford The greatest loss was suferedein ravine where powerful and unknown batteries of the Russians opened destructive fire on the allied troops. The allies lost terribly in consequence of the Russians springng mine. During the confusion created thereby the Russians recap tured Mamelon tower.

Letter from President Pierce.

President PIERCE has written letter to the democrats of Fredericksburg, Va, who invited him to attend celebration there in honor of the election of Mir. WISE, in which he says:
 Pre-eminently prominent as the sons of Virginia have been, from the commencement of the revolution, for their bold advocacy of the cause of freedom-for their consistent and patriotic devotion to the only principles upon which government constituted like ours can be sustained, 1t may well be doubted whether they have ever achieved for themselves move distinguished honor than in the late election or have ever rendered a higher service to this Union.
 "If political heresies and religious intolerance could have shaken and carried the stronghold of that party, upon the faithfulnefs, patriotism, intelligence and courage of which the country has been obliged mainly to rely in every period of serious danger, whether arising from foreign arms ordomestc dissensions, it would have been the occasion, if not of Encouragement yet Of profound regret and sorrow, to those who re- were the constitution under which, as nation we have attained such amazing advancement and have realized socially results so unexam- pied in the history of the human race"

When his speech first ap- peared we did publish 1t entire. That speech IS all the capital we want to ruin its author for ever with the people of Arkansas.

LYNCH LAW PRACTICED BY ABoLITIoNIsTs

LYNCH LAW PRAOTICED BY ABoL1T1oN1sTs IN KANSAS TERRIroRY- publish this morn- ing, from the Levenworth Herald, detailed account ot the outrage practiced upon Mr. Os- borne, of Kansas territory, by band of aboli- tlonsts.
