Truthful Account Of the Attempted Capture
of the Steamer Upton.

NEW YORK. June 25.-The S1tn learns
by q private letter from Neuvitas, from a
gentleman sure to be well informed, tina

May 28 for the purpose of capturing the
passengers and crew of the steamer g. B.
Upton, have returned to that port dimin-
ished in numbers, and with other marks
of having suffered in the action with the
patriots. This accounts for the fact that
the gunboat Pruinfo, which was TO have
brought to Havana the arms and ammu-
nition reported by the volunteers as hav-
ing been captured from the cargo of the
Upton, arrived in that city without any
thing on board, having apparently drop

FITCH AND THE MISREPRESENTATION
Democratic neighbor finds great fault
with Tom Fitch's speech here, and
gave him a broadside for denying In
Congress the right of Chinese to be-
come naturalized, shook the Consti-
tuition in his face, and made as much
sputter as a hen whose single offspring
had been attacked by a hawk. And
yet we find the Independent awkwardly
trying to Chamber on to the same plat
form which Fitch announced In his
speech In front of the passenger depot,
to wit Protection to citizen labor,
and no more importation Of degraded
slave labor" Politics sometimes
makes strange bedfellows; but this
attempt Of our nelghbor to "turn In"
with Tom Fitch on the Chinese ques-
ton, and that in the face Of his we'll
known devotion to the Constitution,
which he regards as guaranteeing to
the Chinaman rights which Tom Fitch
and the Republican party deny utterly
and emphatically, appears most un-
natural, not to say monstrous.-Elko
