DEPARTMENT OF STATE,


Information has been received at this Depart
ment from Thomas Savage, Esq, United states
Vice Consul General at Havana, Of the publica-
ton on the oath ultimo, of decree of the Cover
nor General Of Cuba, of which the following is
translation:
1st. The royal order of 1st July relative to the
rules to be observed by the captains and super
carroes of vessels which may be engaged in for
eign commerce with ports in Cuba, shall com.
mence to be enforced at all the custom-houses of
this island from and after the 1st of December Of
the present year.
3D. No change is to be made in terms and man
ner in which the mail steam .s are at present des-
patched, aud therefore the custom house Of this
port shall not require of them compliance with
the rules established in the said sovereign resou-
ton. :.
Sd. The smacks or vessels that come with live
fish from the neighborng coasts, and leave the
ports of this island constantly, are exempt from
the obligations of producing the consular certl-
fcate required by the said royal order; and,
fourthy, captains of vessels arriving from foreign
ports where there are no consuls to issue such
documents shall not be obliged to produce them.
Your lordship will cause the foregoing regula-

Sionifcant-The following is the significant
language Of the Richmond inquirer of yesterday.
The concluding paragraphs look like there are
other "offenders' to be demanded, and in the
event of refusal to surrender them, that Virgin
ia will be ordered to put her house in order pre-
paratory to dissolution. The Enquirer says:
As for demanding the rendition of men ut the
North, who, as aiders and abettors and accesso-
ries before the fact are implicated, the Executive
of Virginia can only make such requisition up
on affidavit or the finding of grand jury.
Should affidavit be made, or true Dill found,
the Executive of Virginia will make the requisi-
tion no matter who may be the man implicated.
refusal to deliver up the accused will be mat
ter for the people of Virginia and the South to
consider.
As yet no such affidavit has been made, or
''true bill" found upon which the Executive can
base requsiton. The Executive of Virginia
will exert ell the power entrusted to him, IN
bringing all offenders to justice-ani no position
in society, or in the Government Of any State, or
the government os ,he U~;tad States will shield
the offender. The higher such position the grea-
ter the criminality of the offence, and the more
strenuous will be the efforts to bring such Offend
ers to Justice
The Executive of Virginia will vindicste her
honor, and we hope the Southern States will be
prepared to rally to Virginia when she orders her
house to be put in order. The Charestown trials
may be over. but the end is not get.

From Mexico.

The Tennessee, at New Orleans, brings dates
from Vera Cruz to the 9th inst:
The Liberal EXPEDITION under General Mijion,
who was posted in the town Of Orizaba, 76 miles
W. s. W. of Vera Cruz, proved a disastrous fail
ure. They retreated, Gen. Mijion taking 600
prisoners, and capturing 1000 muskets and IL
cannon, and this without the loss of single man.
General Marquisa had pronounced in favor OF
Santa Anna, after seizing conducta with ST.
800, 900 in specie, which he undertook to escort
to Topic. He appropriated $500 to himself, and
detained the rest at Guansto, the British and
French Ministers earnestly protesting against
this outrage.
President Miramon left the city Of Mexico a.
eainst the wishes of his cabinet, and with only
four aids, ostensibly to collect troops and pursue
Marauiza as traitor. 1t is feared, however,
that Miramou is secretly in league with Marqui-
"a. The Liberals are greatly encouraged by this
presumed state Of affairs.
Gen. Doblaudo, having defeated Alfaro and
captured his artillery, entered Guansjuato with
5000 men. Gen. Wolf was at Ligros, whittier
Doblando would pursue him.
Rio Grande city has been attacked by portion
of Cortinas' band, and nearly every house pilla-
ged. According to report, Cortinas has two
bands, numbering about 700 men.
The people of Brownsville are in great distress.
The mails are interrupted. Cortinas has threa-
tened the total destruction of the town, and prom-
ses to intercept and murder all reinforcements
set to its assistance.
Tampico dates to the 1st inst, state that Mar
quez had determined, after holding council Of
war, to evacute Guadalajara, and retreat.

Later from Mexico and Texas.


The Delta publishes letter this morning dated
Corpus Christi, Nov. 7th, which says that it is
almost certain that Brownsville has fallen into
the hands of Cortinas. The Mexican flag was
flying four miles above the town and all commu-
nication had been cut off. The entire Mexican
population on both sides of the Rio Grande were
in arms and it was their intention to e1terminate
the Americans and reconquer the country to the
Colorado River.
The news was confirmed by the af6davjts Of
citizens of Cameron county, who had escaped
Another affidavit says that the frontier of the
Rio Grande is in state of war. Cortinas was
sustained by the Mexican population.
Earnest appeals from Brownsville for aid have
been responded to by eighty men, who are advan-
cling to the relief of that place, but they will have
to encounter seven hundred of Cortinas' men.

Hon. W. w. Boyee.

We had the pleasure of seeing our esteemed
and distinguished Representative in town on Tues
day, and hearing briefly his views in short ad-
dress at the Court House, upon some of the lead
ing topics of the day. Mr.. Boyce said that a
misapprehension of his views has been taken by
some of the papers in the State. By ''modera-
ton" he does not mean submission. He Is unWll-
ling to submit to the domination of Black Re-
publican party, and upon the election of Presi-
dent as the exponent ofsuch party, he Is not only
for a prompt dissolution of the Union, and a
Southern Confederacy, but if need be for the sep
arate secession Of South Carolina from the Federal
Union. To remain where we are, he says, after
such an event, would be dishonor, degradation
and ruin. He only counses moderation now, as
q means to the end preparatory to the great event
which will be determined in the election of the
next President He wants no new issues thrown
ms frebrands into the Southern ranks. We must
know what the South has to depend on among
ourselves in regard to the future and its action.
Mr.. Boyce is opposed to National nominating Con-
yentions, believing them to be for the South wrong
in principle and false in policy.
He does not desire the State to 60 into the next
scramble Mt Charleston, but would have US sup
port cordially any sound Constitutional man,
nominated for the Presidency by the Convention,
who will stand up squarely and unequivocally for
Southern rights "as plainly deducible from the
Dred Scott case"
He would not support Douglas, or any other
candidate who did not stand up for the protection
of Southern institutions in the common terrific
ries.
With such position on the part of the South,
the issue in the next Presidential election will be
a plain and unmistakable one.
IF Black Republican is elected over such q
man, for example, as General Joe Lane, of Oregon,
Mr.. Boyce is then for immediate resistance, sim
Civ and alone if we must, with or without coop
Grafton.
With this explanation of our Representative,
full explicit and emphatic, from his own lips. we
are free to express our appreciation and satisfac-
ton at his position.
We regret that the brief interval which Mr..
Boyce allowed himself did not afford opportunity
for fuller and more elaborate speech.
Enough, however, was said to satisfy US that
he is for the ultimate measure of resistance upon
the happening of such a contingency as that al
ready mentioned.
With this speech, we think most of the States
Rights party would be satisfied We differ only
with Mr.. Boyce for the present in this, that he
would avert, if possible, the election of Black
Republican President for the preservation of the
Union We would not on the other hand, throw
the least obstacle in the way of such an election
if by that means the South would be forced into
n position where resistance or dishonor would be
| the alternatives.
If the election of Wm. II. Seward, or his like,
would nerve the arm of such man as MIR. Boyce
who has always been consistent Union man,
for the strife-we say let it come-the sooner the
better-Camden Journal.

Par,on Brownlow Speaks.-Parson Brownlow
improves the occasion of the Brown rebellion to
attack his old antagonist Rev. A. Pryne, to whom
he addresses long letter. MIR. Pryne having
declared that he had personally assisted Brown to
buy rifles for use in Kansas, the Parson retorts
upon him as follows:
The cowardice of absconding and leaving 'glo-
rious Old John Brown to help himself, also suits
you. Add to this your challenge to me of last
month, dated at Williamson, N. T., to renew the
debate on slavery-which was intended to throw
us off our guard as to your whereabouts it
is clear to my mind that you were in this move
ment And until you prove where you were on
the 10Th, 18th and 18th days of October, 1859, |
shall regard you as one of the murderous and
cowardly hypocrites in the Harper's Ferry insur-
rection, under a false and assumed name"
Brownlow concludes his letter in the following
strain:
Il honestly believe you have been at Harper 8
Ferry in person, and ingloriousy aed when dan
ger stared youin the face If you were not there
in person, your letters to glorious Old John
Brown are in the possession Of Gov. Wise, show
ing that you were aiding and abetting in this mur-

Award OF fPremiums-Close Of the Fair

IPTem1um9-ClOBc
We yield large space in our issue of to-day,
to the list of successful competitors for the pre-
miums. awarded yesterday. The President, Col.
Calhoun prefaced the delivery of them by some
appropriate remarks. The success of the Fair,
he thought, conclusively demonstrated, that we
are not, as has been alleged, an inconsistent and
tickle people. The paramount interest of Agri-
culture had banded US together in the energetic,
pursuit of its emoluments and rewards. The ex-
hibition now closing had been highly creditabls
to our industry and skill, and had presented a
most attractive show of the products of o State
small extent, but diversified in climate and pro-
ductiou. All the departments had been we'll rep
resented, and the stock exhibition was decidedly
the best that we have ever had.
The efficient Secretary of the Society, Col. R. j..
Gage, assisted by Col. ]. F. Marshall, then pro-
ceeded to read out and deliver the prizes. These
were rapidly passed into the hands of the gratif-
ed recipients by Mr.. George Hall and Mr.. W. D.
Peck
&c. Janney. Esq, of the Congaree House at
the last Fair, offered special silver goblet of the
value of $40, for the best specimen of butter. 1t
was adjudged to Mrs. J. D. Williams, of Laurens !;
the announcement of it was received with ap-
plause.
Soon after this an episode varied the regular
proceedings. COL A. NJ Hunt, Of the United
States Hotel had caused to be made some months
since handsome silver pitcher of the value CT
$50, as premium for the best specimen of ma
tive African imported in 1858 or 1859.
This pitcher is richly chased. Two Africans
are represented hoeing in ield-a farm house
in the distance As competitors for this prize,
placed by the donor into the hands of Commit
tee consisting of Hon. J. Duncan Allen, Hon. @.
NJ. Dantzler and R. S. Porcher, Esq, two ''ua-
tives" were exhibited in front of the Amphithea-
tire, standing erect in buggy, neatly dressed,
looking we'll, and decidedly pleased. Our cur
osity prompted US to examine them. The eldest
Napoleon, about IS or IA years Of age, has bis
two front upper teeth sharpened 10 point. He
is likely hoy, of good couutenance and features.
The other, Isaac, is about II or II years old. He
is tattooed, but not so much as to disfgure him.
Upon him the choice of the Committee fell The
little fellow evidently felt gratifed at the result,
and held the pitcher aloft triumphantly
Notwithstanding the dust, heat and crowd, the
Fair has been pleasant and profitable reunion.
All have been well accommodated, we hope, and
leave satisfied that the time has been well spent.
May we have many returns Of such an agreeable
occasion n-Cozum6ia Gaurdian, 18th inst.

The case of Captain Cook was tried at Charles
town Wednesday. The Courtroom was filled with
SPECTATORS The trial resulted in his conviction.
His counsel moved for an arrest of judgment, but
the motion was refused and he was brought for
ward with Coppee and the negros Copeland End
Green, for sentence. They were all sentenced to
be hung on Friday, the 18th day of December
Capt Brown had been previously sentenced to be
hung on the I'd of December, but it is thought
that the Governor will respite him until the 10th,
and hang them altogether. The Court then ad-
iourned for the term. The Baltimore American
has the following concerning the confession of
Capt Cook:
The confession of Cook, which was read yester-
day afternoon, caused much excitement, and some
of the comments on it of the most unfayorable
character, whilst some others were disposed to
view it in more favorable light, and the extreme
youthful appearance of the prisoner at the bar was
generally taken into consideration.
Cook states in the confession that he met Capt.
Brown in Kansas some two years ago, and was
led by the representations of Brown to join is
band. not knowing at the time what would be the
field of their operations. After some time had
ELAPSED Brown informed him that the town Of
Hsrper's Ferry was the place he contemplated
making his stand at, and that he wished him
Cook to proceed there and try and ascertain
whether not the man tOrDeS nau ulVulReu
the plan to any one at Harper's Ferry. as rumor
had reached him to that effect. Cook strongly
objected to any such move as contemplated but
was repliedto by Brown that he had taken the oath
to stand by him and that he must not now desert
him. Cook, therefore, started for the Ferry, and
took up his residence. After having been there
sometime, he was introduced into society, which
resulted in the courtiug and marrying a Miss
Kennedy, of South Bolivar. He then determined
by all possible means to change the determination
of Old Brown, but all his arguments and encrea-
ties failed when brought to bear against the iron
will of the Kansas outlaw.
The more important portions were those which
told of the Convention held in Canada, at which
the well-k known constitution was framed of the
military training under Stevens which Browns
party went through, altering their original inten-
ton, which was to he instructed by Col. Forbes
and of his own exploration of Jefferson county.
Va., under Browns directions, to prepare the way
for the insurrection.
Gerrit Smith, Fred Douglass, DR.. s. G. Howe,
and others, were mentioned in the confession, but
not in way to deeply implicute them. Their con,
nection with Brown involved, however, the pre-
sentation of pistols, money, &c. Cook said that
the time of the invasion would have been different
but for the information given by Col. Forbes.

Counterfeit Money.-We would caution the pub
lie againsta new counterfeit half dollar which has
been put into circulation here within the past few
days. The execution of the piece is quite perfect,
and it might therefore readily pass current with
the unwsry, but the deception may be easily dis
covered by the greasy feel and lightness of the
counterfeit, as well as its want Of the clear ring
ing sound of the genuine piece. Two of these
counterfeits were taken by an omnibus driver on
Saturday, one of which was received from wo-
man. 1t may be well to scrutenize quarters and
gold money also, for possibly the halfdollar may
not be the extent of the counterfeiters designs.
