IMPORTANT FROM CuRA

THE SIEGE RAIsED-THE BLOCKADE REMOVED
The United States Mail steamship Isabel, Captain
Rollins, called off Tybee Sunday evening, and de-
liyered over the Matamors her mails and passen-
gers for this city. Advces from Havana are to
the morning of the 18th; from Key West to the
evening of the same day. We would call especial
attention to our correspondence from the latter
port, which details the movements Of our squadron
in the Gulf, and gives intelligence of other interest
ing events.
Prem Havana, from which city we are indebted
to our attentive correspondent for full files of daily
papers, the news is most important The state OF
siege in all the territory of the Island of Cuba,
slets and adjacent keys, as well the blockade OF
all the coast, is henceforth removed The procla-
mation of the Captain-Geners containing this i'm
portant announcement, is dated the 23d, and pub
lshed the same evening in the Gaceta, and the
next day in all the papers. The siege had lasted
three months and eleven days, from the 18th of
February last There seems to be great rejoicing
amongst all classes Of people.
We are panied to learn from our Havana files
that the yellow fever prevails in many parts of the
Island, and has excited considerable alarm. Many
have died who had been inoculated By the celebrated
DR.. Humboldt. On this subject of incubation the
Prensa publishes from day to day voluminous
and exciting controversy, to which we can but
briefly allude So far as we have read it, we have
only arrived at this conclusion, that in Cuba, as
elsewhere, doctors disagree. "-Savanaah Geor-

A MYSTERY EXPLAINEn

1t has been wondered at that the wings of this
State have made few if any nominations this year.
There was no attempt to hold State Convention.
The Congressional Convention called in this dis
trict was suffered to go by default And there is
to be no wing county convention in this county
this year. We have an item from Maine which
explains the mystery. ANseN P MORRILL, know
nothing OF that State, was nominated for Governor
by Temperance Convention, and accepte1 the
nomination. Whereupon the following resolution
was passed by the council of which he was mem
ber
RESOLVED, That by accepting the nomination for
Governor by the self styled Republican party, made
on the 22d Of Feb. last, Arson P. Morrill, has for
feited his right to membership in the American
party; and IN accordance with vote passed at the
National Council in November last declaring that
if any member of this order should accept of a
nomination from any other political party he should
be expelled" that Arson P. Morrill, deserves to be
expelled from tbs order.
So, had Col. GENTRY accepteda nomination from
Wing State Convention he could not have re-
ceived the nomination of the know nothing con-
venticn. The same principle prevented the holding
ofa District Convention in this district, and Coun-
ty Convention in this county. by the wing party
Every thing in the policy OF our opponents which
was mysterious is cleared up by this resolution

PASSPORTS FOR CUBA.-The Captain-General of
Cuba has given orders to all his subordnaes ,hBt
they must observe the following rules with any
person who arrives in that island without pass
port:
First. The person must be arrested and kept in
prison for period not exceeding fifteen days, du-
ring which it must be ascertsined what is his mo-
tive in coming to the island, what property he
brings with him, what is bis occupation, what bust
ness he means TO enter into, and by what means
he will support himself If the result of these in
quries be satisfactory, so that it is discovered the
want of passport was an accident, and was not
omitted to conceal his vagrancy or any other illicit
motive, he will be made to pay fine of $40, and
then be discharged but if the information obtained
proves anything to the contrary then the suthori-
ties will keep him in confinement until proper no.
tce is sent to the Superior Civil Government, so
that his Excellency may order his Reconciliation
to the point whence he came"

THE CANVASS IN TENNEssEE-The canvass in Ten
nessee for Governor, was opened at Murfreesboro'
on the lst inst, by Gov. Johnson on the part of
the Democrats and Col Gentry in behalf of the
Wing alias American or Know Nothing party
They are both capital orators, but Johnson evident
ly oored his competitor at the first blow, and the
victory he achieved has been followed up by other
routes no less signal Johnson takes bold ground
against the new secret political organization. His
argument at Murfreesboro as reported in the Nash
vile Union is one of the ablest and most searching
exposItions we have yet read. We will reproduce
it in our columns at an early day. The American
party have been unfortunate in selecting Gentry.
As member of Congress, he has made up an aw-
full record and Johnson using it with great effect
against him. He voted for the Gag bill; the Bank
rupt Law the Tariff of 49, for Distribution Inter-
nal Improvements, Assumption of State Debts-iu
fact every Federal abominstion that has been in
troduced in Congress for the last sixteen years

THE TRICKS OF KNOW-NOTHINGs.

The know-nothing papers, which, for the last
three months, have found plenty of occupation in
Boosting of the "accessions TO the order" in VIR-
GINA, have now to turn elsewhere. Similar stories,
and equally false, are now told of Kentucky, Ten

WIsEs defeat by 10000. Now see what they say
about Mississippi:

F The Philadelphia Ledger, to show the hsz-
ard in crossing railroad tracks, particularly in ve-
hices publishes the following:
"a railroad car, at the ordinary speed Of travel
ling, moves about twice its own length in a second
of time-sbout twenty-four feet. At this velocity

WILL THEY HEAR HIMs

Rev. Thomas Starr King is well known as one
of the most able and eloquent Protestant clergy
men of New England. We commend the follow
ing from Fast Day Sermon to the attention of
the Hindoo zealeis of this State:
Strangely enough, our greatest danger seems to
threaten US from the dominant race itself If we
can only prevent ourselves from being foolish,
perverse and meanl Must we begin to learn the
lesson Taught by bitter experience that proscrip-
ton of religion is the very breath of its life-the
fan for its fame? We find at our hand the most
delicate problem of craftsmanship ever set to any
people, and we are taking the course to defeat the
object that is foremost among duties and neces-
sites. We are called on to repress, by our policy,
that intense consciousness of antagonists passions
of race among the new corners on our SOIL and we
have adopted by reclamation, and in the most
offensive way, the very policy that will stimulate
them and make them chronic, The trouble is said
TO be the clanshness Of the foreign born residents
on our soil, and in some instances the bigoed at
tachment TO faith that is unfriendy to rpolitica
structure And even to cure it we adopt policy
that by ts reaction compels the aliens to close up
their ranks and stand serried by pride, hatred
and the instinct of Observation-Disclosures nations
within our empire, with passions kindling against
the party that claims, by excellence, the patronage
of American interests and the right to the Ameri-
can name
The speaker contended, too that this dangerous
folly is perfected when in our hatred of Jesuitisn
we adopt the most dangerous policy of the Jesuits
viz: secret cabas and oaths of the shrouded meet
ing to hamper the influence of free discussion, to
oppose perhaps the subsequent protest of con-
science and to make the ballot boxes the Registrys
of the edicts, possibly of few consplrators, who
plot their schemes in the dark. In his opinion
the Catholic Church could not in a century nave
wrought such injury to the very vitals of our sys-
tenn of government as the policy of this very year
is doing in the contented submission of the people
to the methods OF secrecy and extra judicial oaths
by which, in hatred to Catholicism, the Protestant
and Saxon principle of free public discussion. as
10 candidates, is nsulted and stricken down.

o. Virginia, all know, never has, within
fifty years, cast her vote for any candidates or
measures other than Democratic. Thomas Jeffer-
son too thoroughly indoctrinated her people with
his radically hereticsl doctrines of government.
The above is (says the Louisville TInes) clipped
from an article in the Courier of yesterday, ex-
planning why the know nothings did not carry
Virginia and IS "bout the only truthful paragraph
that paper has contained for months. No man
who is thoroughly imbued with the princinles oe
Thomas Jefferson could ever be a know nothing
the thing is impossible But we hardly ornootaJ
that the Courier would have the honesty to con-
iess that the know nothing party was NOTHING bnt

GAMBLING IN CALFoRNIA.-The sixth California
Legislature has adjourned after a session of 12O
days, during which time numerous beneficial and
highly popular laws have been enacted. Among
these is one prohibiting gambling Throughout the
state, under the most stringent penalties. Gamb-
ling houses are, at last to be closed and practice
which has gone further toward demoralizing Cali
fornis at home, and in the eyes of the world bids
fair to be permanently eradcated from the land
Vigorous attempts, both by influence and money,
have been made to procure the repeal or modifca-
ton OF this law but TO DO pnrnose

H By the Lake Superior Mining Ne,os of
April 26th, we learn that the amount of copper
ready for shipment by the lst of May, would be
eleven hundred tons, the product of the mines in
that district during the winter. This amount of
copper, after making all reasonable deductions for
waste freight, and other expenses necessary to re-
duce it to ingots, is worth about 1894, 600 1t is
estimated that during the summer 800 or 900 tons
more of copper will be shipped.

ing democrats in other places than Louisville:
Mr.. Andrew Mckinley and others, who rushed
into the know-rothing order for the purpose of Sc
curing office, are beginning to suspect that their
apostacy will not be very profitable. A distin-
guished Office seeking Democrat, who joined the
know-nothiugs for the purpose of securing Office,
has bitterly amented his folly since the Virginia
election. He asked friend on last Saturday if he
had ever known a man who had a run of such id
bad luck"
