LATER FROM ITAvANA.-Thc steamer IsaLelar
rived in Charleston "Wednesday morning. We
make the following extract from the llavuna cor
respondent or the Charleston Courier:
HAVANA, March "a 1850.
The Spanish Government have ordered part
Of their fleet down to Vera Cruz, for tho purpose
of aiTording protection to their subjects in that
town in case of bombnrdmcnt, and also. suppose,
to protect the Spanish steamer Marques dc la lla-
bana from the attacks of the American squadron
The Marques is as good tllibuSter ever the
Creole was and the same argument used in her
case would rctalia,e we'll on the obctors of the
piratical undertaking. The Spanish squadron
sent down thcrcis equally MS large as, if not lar
ger, than our home squadron. They l"ft l"rr on
sailed to prevent the news getting to the United
ders to protect Spanish property at all hazards
whether III the town or port of Vera Cruz.
+ The news of the capture of the two hllibustcr
Miramon against the city of Vera Cruz, has caus-
who arc loud in their abuse of our naval officers
for the overthrow of Juarez. We are threatened
with an invasion, nothing less than $4,000 men,
under the command of the great Duke of Ietuan
and his victorious Generals. Spain's mission is to
humble the pride of the naughty Anglo Saxon race;
so you must be prepared to ear an unusual out
burst of bravado and threats. 1t is to be sincere
ly hoped that our courts will condemn them us pi-
rates as the Spanish Court condemned and conhs-

The Election at the Home of Mr.
Lincoln.

Special Despatch to The n. Y. Tribune.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 6-35 p. NJ.
The election in this city has been quietly
conducted, notwithstanding the heavy i'm
portations of nominal residents to overcome
the expected Republican majority. At
this hour the result in the city and county
is uncertain, although the friends of Mr.
Lincoln fully anticipate the success Of their
County Ticket
Mr.. Lincoln has passed most of the day
in the Governors House, receiving numer-
Gus visitors, entertaining them with discus
sions upon various topics, not exclusively
political, but sometimes humorously touch
ing upon matters as foreign to the business
of the day as the splitting of rails.
The multitude at the Court House, where
the polls are fixed was very great during
the forenoon and the early part of the af-
ternoon but, toward 3 o'clock it diminished
sufficiently to allow tolerably free passage.
Mr.. Lincoln, who had intended to delay
voting till o'clock, was counseled TO take
advantage of this opportunity. lie accord
ingly, after surveying the Courthouse,
and .hs eress,d surrounding If. from his win
dow, and stopping moment TO read frag-
ment of good news sent him from New
York by Simeon Draper, started out, ac-
companied by few of his more immediate
associates, and walked leisurely over to de-
post his vote. He was not observed by
the masses until he reached the Court House
steps but at that moment he was sudden
ly saluted with the widest outbursts of en-
thusiasm ever yielded bya proper assem-
blage. All party feelings seemed TO be for
gotten, and even the distributors of opposi-
ton tickets Joined in the overwhelming
demonstrations of greeting. Mr.. Lincoln
passed through the hall and up the stairs
without inpediment, but on reaching the
Court Room the crowd gathered about him
with such excess oil zeal that IT was with
some difficulty that he made his way through
Here, as in the street, there was only one
sentiment expressed-ihat of the heartiesi
and most undivided delight at his appear
anee. Mr.. Lincoln advanced as rapidly as
possible to the voting table and handed in
his ticket, upon which, it is hardly necessa-
ry TO say, all the nafncs were sound Repub-
iicans. The only alteration he made was
the cutting off of his own name from the
top, where it had been printed. As he
emerged after voting. from the temporary
Enclosure, the manifestations OF enthusiasm
were doubled, and Mr.. Lincoln, removing
his hat, bowed in acknowledgment.

vote, never having been naturali2ed, other |
wise their vote would have been less than
it was. As it is a family quarrel we d.
not propose 10 interfere.
wen done old Springfield you have
done most nobly. We set YOU At 300 for
Old Abe, but very promptly after the clos
ing of the polls, we received our despatch,
giving Lincoln SOL She gave out that
she would beat Brattleboro on majority for
Lincoln and has done it, Braltleboro gives
3JS, and Springfield l57 majority for Lin
coin, being 80 more than Brattlcboro.
Walpole rolled up glorious vote on
Tuesday, giving AZ majority over Douglas,
and 80 majority over all. Heretofore the
town has been close. Look also at the vote
of Westmoreland, where there is % ma
joriiy for Lincoln. Last spring it was 80
the other way.

There are two highly respectable young
southerners residing in this village. They
were ardent for Breckinrilge, but have the
having been properly and constitutionally
elected president, it is the duty of the
whole country TO acquiesce in the election,
as has been since the formation of the gov
ernment 1t is needless to add that they
command entire respect, and that their con-
duct is in strange as well as gallant contrast
with some of the doughface democrats who
are mourning and boo-hoo-ing over that
great and immaculate humbug--he disco
luton of the Union.
We believe there is not a democrat re-
siding on School street, so that they had a
little the advantage in uniformity on the
hight of the illumination. Among the best
Examinations that evening, was Cragin &
Stones store and that building which was
exceedingly fine and beautiful. Further
along the residences OF John Kimball, Col
Cochran, Silas Pierce, &c, were equally so.
The Examinations Wednesday evening,
in honor of Lincoln's election, were truly
brilliant and splendid, and universally adj
mired by all parties, and it is great wonder
how they could have been got up on so
short notice.
The Republicans of Chester wouldn't
wait for daylight, and SO fred salute in
honor of old Abe's election, Tuesday night.
The Breckenridge party about here feel
the worst, The Douglas folks are general
ly chuckling in their sleeves, but the Brock
inridge men yield with great reluctance.
One of them says there never will be an
other president elected of these United
States Another says g You won't have
any South great while longer" Yes,
you have elected Lincoln, but he viii have
trouble" &c. Their lamentations are gen.
eral throughout the country. As yet no
cracking of the Union has been heard here,
!, save that made by the cannon on Wednes-
day evening.
