The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1858-09-23


HAVANA, September IA Spanish Slave Com
pany formed here the early part of last winter,
the originatOrs and promoters OF which were Eu-
lueta and Portilla, our heaviest dealers. Ninas,
the owner of the ship Iberia, and brig, the name
of which have forgotten, were induced to enter.
Vinas cleared for Cadiz, where he arrived, dis
charged his cargo and loaded again, ostensibly for
Hamburg, but proceeded to the cast coast Of
Africa, where slaves to the number of two thousand
huddled together, on the two vessels, scantiy
provsioned and short of water.
\ few days after doubling the Cape the fresh wa
ter began to give out, and the negroes forced
to drink the salt water! Out of the 1000 that left
the coast eight hundred buried at sea, and the
rest reached here afflicted with the worst kind of
scuryy. The brig landed her cargo at Bahia
Honda, and was abandoned, and subsequently found
by Spanish cruiser and brought into this port,
where she lies. The ship landed her part
on the south side of the island, whence the negroes
were transferred to Iuueta's estate. The Iberia
then sailed for Bahia Honda, where she rcitted
for a second voyage and put to sea, but the pilot
her aground on the Colorado reefs, where's
she captured. | am informed that of the
six hundred negroes landed from this vessel
and conveyed to Zulucta's estate of the Alava,
upwards of four hundred have died, and the
rest continue to drop off one by one, nowithstand
ing the best medical skill sent from Havana at
enormous salaries! Here, indeed, is a case that
equals the atrocities of the Regina C9li. Ninas es
capped after losing his vessel by way of the United
States, and is now in Spain. 1t is said that he
loses all he had previously made by this unlucky
trip sunldria or legal investigation into the al-
fair has been commenced, but he has fled from
the Island, it will be dropped. The Nancy and
Perkins cases progress Spanish fashion, and several
months may elapse before conclusion is arrived
at though the general impression here is that they
will both be condemned | understand the Captain
of the Nancy intends sueing the American Govern
ment for $4,000 damages, which will almost
amount, if true, to the profits of ordinary ad-
venture to the Coast Madame Rumor says that
two other American savers are being fitted out
here, which, if true will give newly-appointed
Consul General a good opportunity to display his
Judgment and administrative talents He will find
that the Havana consulate with its $1,000 per
num- is far less agreeable than the last Office he held
at ST. Thomas.
The Thomasville (Ga. Wdcbnlaa says:
We have been visited with repeated and general
ly very heavy showers every day during the past
week, interfering with cotton picking and injuring
materially the maturing crop, already to consid-
cradle extent damaged by rust. The provision
crop, now beyond every probable contingency, will
be, we iearn the largest and best niafe in this
{ county. An old planter informs us that be will
make fifteen hundred bushels of corn more than he
harvested last year, and that he has worked six
/ hands less. 3 = g
The health Of the county generally could not
possibly be better.
