HAVANA, Sept 8, 1859.
Special to the New Orleans Crescent
Messrs Editors: Since my sdvices per De Soto
of I'd inst generally speaking, there has been very
little doing in the Sugar market although one of our
largest houses reports little more activity having
been manifested during the present week.
There has not been the slightest change In rates,
nor do think it possible there can be any advance
during the present season. Holders, however, buoy
themselves up with the hope that with the return Of
tho ordinary facilities for obtaining money and an
easier state Of pecuuiary AFFAIRS that rates will again
advance. They appear to have forgotten that We
10 the month Of September and that in the course Of
six weeks or two months the now crop will be at
market.
Tho stocks between this and Mantanzas are COM
puted at about 225 900 boxes against about l65 900
at this period last year.

ANOTHER WALkER.-Qnite number of per.
sons assembled at Charlotte yesterday afternoon to
see Monsieur De Motto" cross the river on a rope
opposite. At the appointed time the performer made
his appearance and started out, pole in hand. He
was dressed in white tights and wore on his head
hat decorated with ribbons. After proceeding tremb
hngly along to point about thirty feet from the
shore, he lost his balance and fell sprawng into the
water beneath, losing hold of his balance pole,
which stuck upright in the muddy bottom. De
Motto rose to the surface, and was picked up by
exceedingly damp and shiyering from cold, but not
diyested of his ambition; for having warmed him
self somewhat and pulled on pair of pantaloons
row escapes succeeded n reaching the eastern shore
in safety. He afterward returned by the same route
and was greeted with applause as vociferous almost
as the shouts of laughter and ridcule which went up
when his misfortune occurred. 1t is said that De
Motto designs to cross again some time next week.

some in Roanoke county, Va, this season. and have
committed great depredatons on the corn, for which
the farmers have turned out cunning for them. A
letter says:
Three or four have been killed on Bradshaws creek
within the last two weeks, and on Saturday three
were killed about three miles from Lafayette, near
Princes, on the North Fork w. q. Waskey, ESQ.,,
shot very large one this mprning, making the num-
ber killed seven or eight during the space of three
weeks. SO frequently are they seen, and SO much
excited has the neghborhood come in their anxiety
to capture them, that there is scarcely day passes
without some party being out in pursuit of them.

and the dead bodies Of the two were buried soon
known, but 1t is believed they were from Illinois In
another place, i've horses and . mule were found
dead, pierced with arrows and bullets, but NO signs
Of murdered men could be discovered Great anxiety
felt here for the safety Of parties whose return has
been expected for some time. Numerous parties Of
from four to six in number are scattered over the
Park mountains, and il Is feared many Of them will
never be heard from again. ~.@@
The Indians are quite numerous, and are armed
with the best rifles and pistols that are made
The Republican also furnishes the following inter.
esting intelligence:

the honor to be unanimously elected President and
Chief Justice of the District, with dctatorial powers

COL Jarrot writes that the region in which he and
bis party are is surely gold region, though the
miners in general have not yet found the in such
quantities as to remunerate for going thther. The
Colonel and his party have been rather more FORUM

Twenty pounds from this mine were sent to DR..
Lee, at Denver City, to be analyzed, and was found
to contain five parts silver, three parts gold three
parts iron, and one part copper. AS much as
five thousand pounds Of the ore per day have been
taken out and the greatest excitement prevailed in
the neighborhood at the time of writing this letter.

several hundred on both sides participating, using
stones, bludgeons, pistols and knives

FATAL AFFRAY-The Louisville Journal of the sth

A difficulty occurred at Compromise, KY, on Sun

Shuliz and Starr, in which pistols were drawn and
freely used on both sides. After several shots had
been exchanged one fired by Shutz took effect iu the
left breast of Starr when the latter seized shot gun
and was about to discharge its contents at Shultz
who, to escape the impending danger, ran to the
river and plunging in drowned before assistance
could reach him. Stars wound, though serious, ii

from dispute in regard to the possession of negro

SIcKLEs AT TAMMANY-The New York cores.
pondent of the Charleston Courier writes:
The gathering at Tammany Hall was made memo.
rable by the temperance Of Dan. E. Sckles among
his old political associates than by anything. Sckles
came in late, after the proceedings had been com.
menced. He was unaccompanied, and with his
usual nonchaiance he took seat, as quietly as if
nothing had ever occurred few of his friends
went up to him and welcomed him back to Tammany.
The leading politicians however, with whom sickles
has formerly been in the habit of associating, kept
aloof from him. To console himself for this neglect
after the meeting adjourned Sickles and such Of the
crowd as would accompany him, adjourned to
drinking saloon, where the member of Congress
" stood treat" all round. Sickles is unalteraby de-
termned to take his seat in the next Congress.

THE SAN JUAN Observation-Disclosures date of the
9Th inst. " Ion," the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sum- writes;


9Th inst. Ion," the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, writes:
When Mr.. Buchanan announced his purpose to de.
cline denomination, and gave as one reason for it
that his candidacy would embarrass his measures the
public were prepared to expect from him some meas.
ure of unusual boldness. 1t was thought that the
blow might be struck in the direction Of Mexico or
the Isthmus of Nicaragua. But it has fallen sud
denly upon another disputed boundary question: Mr..
Buchanan, as member of Mr. Folks administration,
went for the whole of Oregon or none. He never
yielded inch of our claim to boundary of fty.four
forty. We did not, unfortunately, adhere even to
the line of ortynine, but giving up Vancouver Island
caused necessary depletion to the South of that
parallel.
The line, under the treaty, was to run through the
channel, securing the principal channel through the
straits. This would leave us the important islands
in the straits and those five harbors. Considering
that we have no good harbor on the Pacific coast
north of San Francisco, and that we gave up to
Great Britain the harbors formed by Vancouvers
Island, it is hardly reasonable that we should also
yield the three harbOrs in the straits The States
the Pacific would hardly permit this, even if the ex-
ecutive government assented to it.
But hr. Buchanan probably thinks that we have
given up enough of Oregon, and will obsnate!y
tend for the possession OF all that is left to of it,
He found that we were about to be engaged in
another endless and irritating dispute to the con-
struction of treaty. and therefore determined to an
tcipate diplomacy by action. There will be a re-.
bound from the other side of the water. The Pal.
merston Government takes everything and gives
nothing. AT the late session OF Congress, Mr. Bu-
trail American question would wipe out the last
remaining subject of dispute between the two coun-
tries." But fresh dispute is opened, which begins
by an appeal to force on both sides.
