From Key West.

In the Key Of the Gulf Of the 18th instant we find
the following intelligence:
The wreckers are busIy employed in saving the
cargo of railroad iron from the wrecked ship HELEN
E, Booker, some 600 tons Of which has already been
brought to this port-most of the cargo, tackle and
materials Of the chip will be saved. Consigned to
James Flor.
The cargo of the bark Philor has been discharged
and stored in warehouse, and the vessel will be hove
down for repairs She has been ibeIed for salvage,
which will probably be decided some time next week
Consigned 70 A. r. Tiff.
The q. 8. Surveying schooners Graham and Bailey
arrived here from the reef on the 18th and the Agas-
sz the 18th inst, their officers having closed the
survey for the season. =
We learn BY Capt. Geiger, who has just returned
from Tortugas that the store house at Garden Key
was totally destroyed by fire with all it contained
the night Of the 18th inst. The provisions for the
post, with large amount of ship chandlery, all pub
lie property, and worth probably $l2 900 to $4,000
were consumed. No cause of the fire has yet been
discovered but is supposed to have been entirely
accidental.
We learn that Paymaster Dashiel, q. 8. A., by the
apsettlng Of boat on New river bar, has just sus-
tanned the serious loss of s25 000 which was in
pet bag and designed to pay off the troops stationed
at the Gulf posts. -e-s
The bottom on the bar is shifting sand, and
though the water is shallow it will be difficult, in
position so exposed to surf to recover the money.
gentleman Of Key West had received letter
from Punta Rassa, containing the following state
ment:
A detachment of mounted volunteers Of Captain
Johnsons company were attacked by the Indians and
one man killed. The company had been out scouting,
and running short OF ammunition, sent in small de-
tachment to procure it. On the return they were at
tackled and besides the loss Of man. they lost 500
round of ammunition. This occurred about the 4th
inst. Capt ]. A. Whitale 5th Infantry has gone to
Fort Center to garrison that post while Major Will
liams goes in pursuit. Army generally healthy.

A New DEvELoPMENT.- A New York paper,
whose exclusive intelligence is more apt to be
startling than reliable processes to have intelligence
of new abolition wrinkle in Massachusetts,. 1t says
that an extensive organization has been discovered
throughout that State whose members are weldriled
in the of the musket and bayonet together with
the of the walking stick, who sub.divded into
Schools classes and squads for the purpose of resist
ing the exercise of the Fugitive Slave act. The
colOred men are excluded, and the total number of
members is known only to the five who form the ex-
ecutive directory 1t is stated that it is common
comment that this organization dated back to the
Burns affair in Boston, and that it now extends to
every town and village in the State. 1t is further
stated that the leaders defy the general govern
ment to capture any slaves in the Bay State, outside
of the range of the of the Navy Yard and Fed
eral forts. They have arms and ammunition and two
schooners to conveythe ugtives to Canada and they
allege that, at several depots in the State
within their grasp whenever they choose to seize
them They have hiding places and arms amongst
the hills and Islands also

HAVE. WE CANNIBALs AMONG US p According
to the San Jose Cronica, a Costa Rican paper, the
Americans who fought with Walker are diabolical
set of fellows That valuable Journal furnishes the re-
liable information that previous to the evacuation Of
Rivas, Gen. Henningsen declared with emphasis and
Junction. that before they would be starved out of the
place they would kill and eat their prisoners, of
whom they had sufficient number to thus furnish
provisions for an indefinite period We doubt much
whether roasted or stewcd greaser" even if pro-
pery satcd and seasoned would prove very palatable
protracted siege, however would accustom the
stomach to that unusual sort of fare no doubt but
then in that it would be liable to the objection
that the might become so habituated to it that
they could eat nothing else. That would be bad for
the greasers.
The same veracious paper informs its readers also
that when shut up in Granada, these wicked people
actually devoured poor Nicaraguan woman, who
unfortunately happened to be in sufficiently good con-
diton to tempt their rapacious maws and that in
Rivas afterwards an expression referring to the
affair became among them to the effect that

THE PARISH CONyENTIoN.-On Saturday next the
Parish Convention of the American party in East
Baton Rouge will assemble at the courthouse in this
city, to select delegates to the State Convention to
meet in the hall OF House of Representatives Of the
Capitol on Monday the Sth day of June prOximo.
The party throughout the State, will be well repre-.
sented on that occasion. There seems to be but one
feeling pevadng the party throughout the State in
reference to the nominations then to be made-a de-
sire to put forward the best in their political
tecedents and the most uneXceptonable in their per-
sonal character and habits. 1t would be well for the
convention on Saturday next to name the day for a
Parish Convention, to nominate candidates for the
November elections. Jaly would be early enough.
and as the 4h comes Saturday, we would suggest
that time in preference to an earlier day.

LUCKY CoMpANY.-One of the most remarkable
facts in the life of sailor has occurred in the life of
Jethro Coffin, now a resident of Nantucket. During
seventeen voyages in the whale fishery, occupying 80
years, Capt Coffin never witnessed burial at sea, no
death taking place board of any ship to which
he belonged.

MORE PEARLs.-The jewels continue to be found
in Passaic and Bergen counties poor man named
Van Orden, while on his way to Hokokus, to pay Il
debt found two large pearls worth $50 each. The
Bergen county land owners are much troubled by
trespassers who generally comprise about half
dozen in each party, and are so bold and impu-
dent as to defy the threats of the land owners who
order them off their premises. The services of
posse of men have been secured, and one person
declares his intention to prosecute certain parties who
have made threats upon his person. A valuable pearl
was found in the Pompton river last week.

MRS. CUNNINGHAM AGAN-The New York Elk
press of the 22d saws:

MRS. CUNNINGHAM AGAIN.-Ihe New YORK Elk
press of the 22d says:
On Thursday Mrs. Cunningham's counsel in the
case of the Burdell estate served with notice
that motion would be made in behalf of the rela-
tives of Dr.. Burdell to take out commission to ex
anime witness named Whitehead C. Hyde, now re-
siding in California. Mr. Edwards, in his affidavit,
sets forth the facts which he expects to prove by Mr.
Hyde viz That Mr. Hyde had been engaged since
1855 to be married to Mrs. Cunningham and that she
had kept up correspondence with him favorable to
that end up to the 10th of December last, some six
weeks after the date of the alleged marriage. Mr..
Edwards swears that his information is derived from
the personal friends of Mr.. Hyde All these state
ments we are informed, are denied by Mrs. Cunning
ham; her counsel seem confident that the motion will
not prevail, and express the hope that the case will
go before the Surrogate as usual and be finished
without delay. A letter, we are told, has been re-
ceived from party not directly connected with the
litigation now pending in which it is alleged that DR..
Burde was married to person two years before, and
who is still living,

UTAH.-It is said that the Administration will take
immediate and decided course in regard to the re-
bellious MormOns.
The gentleman to whom the appointment of Gov
ernor was offered last is said to be Col Richardson of
Illinois, recommended by Senator Bright. He has
the reputation of combining personal bravery and
lrmness with administrative talent and the choice is
perhaps as good could have been made. If the ni
qutous Young be superseded he must either resort
open war or find his influence as well as his author
ity at an end.

power the enforcement of all measures eneroaching
our constitutional and chartered rights citizens.

The New STEAM REVENUE CUTTER We under
stand that the Secretary of the Treasury in accord
with the sealed report of the Board of Examin-
ers, has accepted the bid of VIM. Fl. Wehb ESQ., of
New York, for the construction of the new steam
revenue cutter to be stationed at New York. for the
construction of which the sum Of $l500OO was ap-
propriated by the last Congress.
Proposals embracing plans, models and specifics
tons to the number of eighteen presented from
different sections, and from these most eminent in
their profession hence the unusual interest felt by
the rival bidders each looked upon the selection Of
his plan, model, ETC., by the Board Of Examiners.
Composed of scientific and practical men of the first
talent of the country and appointed by the Secretary
for this special purpose) as an endorsement of his
superior talent and as claim to the first position in
his profession. Too much credit cannot be accorded
to Secretary Cobb for his Independent course in
adopting the report of the Board of Examiners, not
withstanding the tremendous efforts made by personal
friends in behalf of many of the bidders.

AN APPALLING CREME.-A supposed case of poison.
ing, attended with circumstances of unusual atrocty,
took place in Danville, Pa. On the 7th inst. Mrs.
Clark died, with every symptom of poisoning with
arsenic. Her corpse presented horrible appearance,
and child which she had nursed was at the point of
death, exhibiting the same symptoms as the mother.
Her husband and Mrs. Twggs attended her up to
the time of her DEATH and their conduct and intimacy
afforded grounds for suspicion, and caused their
rest on the charge of murder. 1t was shown that
Clark had previously purchased arsenic and strych-
nine, and the physicians who made the post-mortem
examination unanimously agreed that her death was
caused by poison. These circumstances led to the
suspicion that the husband of Mrs. Twiggs who had
died suddenly, in similar manner, about month
before, had also been poisoned, and his body was ac
cordingy exhumed for examination. The result has
not vet transpired.
