Railroad Travelling in Cuba—Appearance of the Country —Taxes on the People the cause of their Discontent—Sla- tery—Chinese Laborers—Desire for Annexation in the Country parts of Cuba—-Another Insult to the American Flag—Another Fine imposed on the Black Warrior—Im- prisonment of a Creole for a Singular Ofence—Bull Baiting—Military Preparations—Expected Attack on Cuda, de. Immediately after despatching my last letter, I took the cars for Batabano, and from thence the coast steam- er for Cienfuegos, Trinidad, and St. Jago de Cuba—re- turning, stopped a few days at Matanzas and Guines, and visited several large sugar, coffee, and tobacco estates that lie in their vicinities, and I arrived last evening at Havana, just in time to prepare my letters for the Black Warrior mail. It is impossible to give a descrip tion in this communication of all that I have seen and heard during the past two weeks. I shall therefore con- tent myself with a few facts that may not be uninterest- ing to the readers of the Hzrarp—particularly those who are watching the events now transpiring between the Ynited States and Cubs. Railroad travelling in this island is slow work, com Jared with the go aheaditiveness of the Anglo-Saxon re. poblic. The traveller, however, reaps an advantage from t—an opportunity to view the plantations and villages ju the route. The average rate of speed is about fifteen hiles the bour, and instead of valleys, swamps, an! we pass through a most beautiful, fertile, and velcountry, The tall, majestic, waving 4 nut, pineapple, orange, and many other fruits of spontancous growth, meet the view in every direction, The soil, rich and fertile in the ex. | treme, giving promise of abundance from the slightest touch of the husbandman, however, lies in an totally neglected state—not almost py sortof cultivation, ect kind. The rude wooden more than ¢ and that of t plough or the limb of a s still used to break the soil, which is naturally h that manure is never needed. The seed is sown and the crop reaped with the least pos sible Ixbor. With these multiplic nal summer, without exce: have but little to fear; they ea sire, and there is no excuse for tion, unless they pen the mouth and receive the food that rop into it Under such circumstances why are not the Cubans con- tented and happy? Why isnot the other nine-tenths of the soil cultivated? Asi the Spanish tyrants, who com- pel (be people to support an imported standing army of 20,000 or 30,000 mea, that they may enforce a tax upon agriculture and trade to fill the coflers of Queen Isabel, pat or cold, the poor ey de and annually enrich hordes of her dependent Spanish | tools, who occupy the entire government o Cuba } Americanize this island, or even Cubanize it—and, consequently, take from it the leeches that suck away its Life blood—give it liberty and education, and it will be- come the garden of the world, supplying sugar, coffeo, cotton, tobacco, cornand fruits in abundance, with but little exertion. True philanthropists should advocate this course, so | as to elevate mankind, and even fanatics, who wildly rave against black slavery, if truly sincere, mast give their warmest support to a measure that will immediately close the ports of this great and only market of the African slave trade, that is more prosperous at the pre- sent moment under the encouragement of the govern- ment, than at any former period. And, if the abolition ists have sympathies to spare for others besides the ebony colored race, there are plenty of white slaves here that need them. 'Nor would théy be bestowed amiss upon the tawny colored Chinaman, who has been be- riled from his home by fulse promises, and deceived into his present degraded position by the Spanish gov ernment, aided and encou by Great Britain. True, they are not called slaves, but their situation is even worse, for they have no hope. In every department of labor they occupy a position side by side with the negro, partaking of the same food and general treatment, and “peir term of servitude is fixed at eight and twelve years, Jithout the least chance, under their present rulers, of Please at the expiration of that period. John Chinaman already fills a conspicnous place in Joba 3 your ccupies almost ¢ strev Iuggace to the hotel, situa even to re gangs. On one plantati contented and happy under a kind, others their situations were \merl in the “aid and and blinded f; can give her. During my jaunt in the country, I have been enabled to ascertain more correctly the views and feelings of the owners and cultivators of the soil in relation to American annexation, and 1am astonished at the universal dissa. tisfaction with their Spanish rulers, and the willingness— eagerness to be under the stars and stripes. I have yet to meet the first man who does not look to the Americans for deliverance, and pray for the arrival of the hour. The publication of the President's message, and other do- cuments, in the Diario, has loosened their tongues, and well knowing the character of their masters, they rightly judge that these official publications are one sited; and from the evident weakness of the justification, they are satisfied that serious troubles already exist,’and theire only fear now is that American forbearance—exercised for years, in the vain hope of purchasing the island— may cause this last insult to be passed over witha simple Teference or an apology. Teay ‘this last insult "—it is hard to say which is the last, when they follow each other in such eo sucees- sion. Immediately after the piratical seizure of Warrior, an Américan vessel, the Lamartine, while run- ning for and near Matanzas, was fired at by a Spanish man-of-war brig. The shot was aimed dircetly for her, and fell short only some thirty or forty yards. The La mfort: tical abolitionis! martine clapped on all sail, and ran away from the go- | vernment pirate. This case has been fully reported to the State Department, by the Consul at Matanzas. Recently the agents’ of the Black Warrior have been compelled to pay, in addition to the six thousand dollars, a further sum of $5,600 for back fines. When this vessel was put on the line, she memorialized the government for the same privilege enjoyed by the Law line of steamers, viz —To carry two or three tons of fru k, withoat be, ing liable for tonnage duties This was granted, and af- ter making some three or four trips, a small coast pro- Mer also sent in a memorial, which brought out the Recision “that only the mail steamers could ‘be allowed the privilege.’ A demand x Black Warrior for tonnage duties upon her entire ear; for some five trips, amounting to over $5,000, about six or eight times the value of the entire deck lowls of fruit The agent at once petitioned the Queen for a remittance of the duty, on the ground that the freight was taken by permission of the Intendente. The case has been pending for a year and a half, and no answer returned. A few days ago, the full amount was demanded and paid under a protest, and yesterday, $1,400 of the sum was returned, with the excuse that they had discovered an error in the account as to the amount, ; The present authorities compelled the payment of this demand, to satisfy their spirit of revenge against Mr. Tyng, the agent, who has been grossly insulted and threatenc’ hy the “Commandan(e’ of the port, for sim ply doing his duty to his employers. The acknowledged error in the account clearly shows the loose and careless manner they transact business, and a perfect disregard for the rights of others, ow made upon the Laat Saturday evening ata masquerade ball in Matan- | gas, a young Creole of the highest respectability was a rested by the order of the Governor, for wearing a domino with one half of the face red, the other white, and a blue star on either side. This is 4 capital offence in the eyes of the intelligent Governor. The young man's confine- ment, however, will be of short duration, as the English | steamer arrived the day before yesterday with a general amnesty from the Queen for all’ political prisoners. —Al- most every person thinks Isabel would have shown great- ec love for her subjects had she issued the decree a little pooner. Captain General Peruela is a strict oveerver of the Catholic religion. During Lent his box at the opera was ‘vacant. The exercises of holy week were strictly attend- ed by himself, family and officials; and with true Spanish humility, piety and humanity, himself, ladios and suite, ogether with the elite and nobility of Cuba to the num: Der of 5,000 or 6,000, attended the innocent amusement of bull baiting on Sunday last.

YOUNG AMERICA. Havana, April 27, 1854. Landing of More Apprentices—Slavery in Cuba—Organi- zation of Two Regiments of Blacks—The Amnesty of tical Offenders, We have the landing of three more cargoes of Pezuela’s | apprentices—not at Havana, in conformity with’ vice re- | gal instruction—but one cargo in the vicinity of the Rio | Zarva, from a bark showing Portuguese colors, with 750 | Africans, under contract for fifty years, after which | freedom on the most enlarged scale, as contemplated in the munificence of Spanish philanthropy; and from two | small vessels in the vicinity of Sierra Morena and San | Juan de los Remedios, 400 more under like merciful dis- | pensation for labor until they may chance to die.

It is probable | that hi ice Serene Highness may be defrauded tn | these three instances of his lawful fees; but Spaniards, | who know the way of these things, advise me that such | isnotthe fact; that the agents of the Captain-General, called “‘alealdes of the sea,” receive their cummission , for protection of these personal interests of the realm, and that the proper parties and agents at Havana are duly notified to pay over the amount required to the se- From New Mexico. DETAILS OF THE NEWS—INDIAN FIGHTS. We have Santa Fe papers to the 25th of March, but we find inthe St. Louis Republican letters to the 3lst, one of which gives the following account of the battle with the Apaches :— On the night of the 26th of March, Lieut. Davidson left Cantonment Burgwin, in command of fifty-seven men, in pursuit of the Apaches, who were supposed to be about one hundred strong. Next morning, about 7 o'clock, he cvme upon the Indians, posted upon’a mountain, and far exceeding in numbers what had been represented. They numbered at leasttwo hundred. There was but one al- ternativ they raised the war-whoop upon the ap- proach of command, and the attack upon them com- menced at once.” ‘ Aliera fight of three hours, during which Lieut. Da- vidgon lost twenty-two men killed and twenty-one wound- ed, two-thirds of the command being killed and wounded, he was forced to retire, fighting bis way over two miles, and with the disadvantage of he wounded to car- ry with him. Lieut. Davidson ved an arrow wound, not very severe, in @ hand to hand conflict. Surgeon Magruder was also wounded, slightly. ‘The victory was a dearly bought one to the Indians, as about fifty of them were ‘killed, and nothing but their vast superiority in numbers gave them the triumph. Everything was safe at Cantonment Burgwin, there be- ing fifty-odd men there. It was expected that the whole of the Ceneral’s disposable force would be sent out against the enemy. Another letter, dated the 31st, #1 “They commenced firing upon us, every shot taking effect either upon the horses or men. It was a sad sight to see #0 many men falling dead by my side. We were in so bad a place that the Indians had great advantage of us, and when we re- tired they were on all sides of us; had we stopped three minutes longer, not a man would have been saved. The wounded are now in the hospital. A Mexican whom I met in Taos to-day, told me that he was at the place of action yesterday afternoon, and counted sixty dead In- | dian bodies. “Major Blake and Thompson, with a few troops and a large number of Mexicans, started Inst night to bring in the dead bodies, and to attack the Indians, if they could be found.” ‘The Santa Fe Gazette gives the following particulars of another battle :— On the 2d of March, Lieut. Col. Cooke, commanding at Vort Union, sent out Lieut. Bell, with’ his company of dragoons, in pursuit of a party of Apaches, who had com- mitted recent depredations near that post. ‘There were, cret service clerk, who is well known among the flesh- | originally, in all thirty-three men, besides Capt. Sykes | dealers, and has the entrée of the best society—thut is, the palace, where he is permitted to play and feed with the children, We hear no more of British oruisers on the lookoxt, | or Spanish, as for that matter—the former having some- | thing else ¢ st now, and if they were here it | would be of no advantage to the negro, as his fate is fixed beyond hope nd the reach of British power to re- | trieve. ‘gro is captured he becomes an appren- tice, annually sold, for the benefit of the Queen and the supreme authority of Cuba, with a compulsory interest of the master to make the most out of him to cover the amount he is compelled to pay to the royal treasury, | under the pretence that it is the salary to insure to the advantage of the laborer. As have said before, it creates afund that royalty will be compelled to feed upon or starve. The negro will never have a cent’s worth of in- terest in it. He will never be free to claim it. The grave will secure the freedom of the apprentice, as in the case of ‘‘Ben,’? against whom no one dared to'show a claim for service, and yet justice, with yellow jaundiced phiz or sight, ordered proof of identity.” The owners will find | the strongest “sense of justice” even in these incorrupti- ble latitudes. If the African escapes capture there is a chance of freedom for him in the kinduess of the master, counselled by his whole interest, to tako good care of his subject, to see that he is well fed, lodged and clothed. There is length of days, a constitution unbroken, and | the political casualties of the times in his favor, besides | the result of his own private labor, by which many ac- complish their freedom here. A remarkable case of re- cent oceurrence of four African negroes that left the first of this month for their African homes in fine health, in the prime of life, having accomplished their freedom by the hours of labor usually allowed on estates. | ‘They left in the British steamer of the 8th of April, I | think for Southampton. | | The steamer Deo, from St. Thomas and Southampton, | arrived on the 24th inst, with the mails and forty-five | pastengers. By this arrival we have been,thrown into a hubbub of confusion in the palace, as if a’shell had ac- | | tually exploded in the sanctum sanctorum of the kitchen | audiencia; and we have not yet got our ideas quite combed out of the snarles. But when our thoughts | finally rested upon the dark shadows of the land, we | rs | took heart and consolation in revising the negro code”’ for military organization of the free black population of | Havana and its vicinity. Two regiments ot negroes, of | two thousand each, are to constitute two new polished | links of our affections to the throne, being fabricated by the master workman of the age, the Captain-General and Governor of Cuba—the Marquis de la Pezuela, The order for enrollment is even now being effected, and they are to be put immediately on drill, and receive their arms at | the earliest practicable moment, to vindicate Spanish honor, to protect white Spanish subjects, and to hold Cuba fast in the love-embrace of our most virtuous and gracious Queen—God bless her! for she needs it almost as muchas Ido. Two thousand are first to be finished off, officered from the regular army, by promotion from the rank held in the corps from which selections may be made, as inducement to endure the grateful fragrance of royalty that will be ermitted from this mass of ever faithful food for powder. The second lot, already in 8 of reg’ will be put upon the same footing the rest of her Catholie Majesty’s church protecting livery, and the field, staff and line, filled with noble Cas- tillian unmixed’? stock, with additional decorations | es for display among their slightly deeper dyed anions in the “mavoh of honor, How proud the ’ should feel, with its long African tail in the rear—‘‘ God save the Queen!’ and the commonwealth of —Cuba. Jam informed that the energetic and acute in- | telligence of the Marquis proposes to go on with his re- lieving shadows of the race, until he shall have under aims some twelve thousand free negroes, to do which he ve compelled to draw upon some of his favorite enancipedes, ov yearling apprentices, to fill up his ranks. The character of the last, being free from Spaniah con- t ion and Spamsh cut-throat propensities, would tamir be much in advance of those now being picked up, who | have constituted for years past the thieves and murderers of the city, and the highwaymen of the country. The reception given by the British and French press to | the late message of President Pieree, upon Spanish out- rages, Was rather unexpected in the upper circles of offi- cial life in Havana; but it is presumed that public opi- nion will be reformed as soon as the able digest of the Marquis is comprehended in Europe, for which purpose large sacks of the article have been sent forward. | The amnesty published yesterday would have told | somewhat better for the clemency of the Queen, had it not been forced out by rather untoward appearances, If the Creoles return to Cuba under it, as they should do, for the Captain-General has not the least objection in the world, they might have a chance, as a reward for confi- dence in Spanish faith, to be enrolled along with the ne- gro body guards of his Excellency and the Bishop. There | never was a time of such intense excitement in this com- | | munity. ‘The doctrines of niggerdom have thrown a cloud over the Cuban heart that will not clear without TROUBLE. | Havana, April 28, 1854. Arrival of the Black Warrior—Ancirty Manifested for the Return of the Spanish Messenger—Potitical Condition of the Island—Pardon to Political Offenders, de. ‘The Black Warrior, Capt. Bullock, arrived this morn- ing, and leaves at 5 o'clock. She brings little aews rela- tive to American and Cuban affairs. The greatest anxiety and impatience are manifested for the return of the Madrid messenger, and the final de cision of our government. No one here doubts for » mo. ment the answer that Spanish insolence, pride, and folly will give; but many fears are entertained, judging from the past, that President Pierce will yet find some small hole to back out of. Few believe that he has pluck to act as big ashe talks, but that notwithstanding the di- rect insult to himself, and the outrage upon the nation, he will permit the case to be delayed, trusting in the abil- | ities of Mr. Soulé to accomplish the purchase of the avain hope; but as the desire to purchase ex- presses a desire for the acquisition, why ‘mince mat- ters’? Our cause is just; Spain has forfeited all claim | to the soil by setting at deflance international laws, and she has provoked the United States to the necessity of seizing it as the only means left to sustain her honor, pre- vent future difficulties, and punish a false, treacherous nation. Notwithstanding the fears daily expressed for the in- | tegrity of the executive, the utmost confidence is felt | that the work will be done, and done quickly. All are sure, if the President does not face the music, that the representatives of the people, in Congress assernbled, will assume the responsibility to direct the Chief Magistrate | to keep his promises and carry out the principles of the great American democratic party that placed him in his Present elevated office. One general feeling pervades all classes, and the prospect of its speedy fulfilment gives them courage to express a hope that the hour fora change of destiny bas arrived, and that Cuba will at once be liberated from her Spanish tyrants. Many of the na. tives of Old Spain look with fayor upon’ transpiring | events, and are anxious for a change of government. Their children will become Creoles, and they now groan under present taxation.

This left twenty-nine, six of whom were left with the pack animals, and were not in the fight. ‘They struek the Indian trail Sunday morning about ten o'clock, thirty-five or forty miles below the crossing of the Red River, and which they followed a short distance, when the: iscovered two mounted Indians, who fled on ‘oach. Soon after they gaw a look out on a hill; 'y pursned and captured. While conversing with the prisoner, they saw twenty or thirty warriors, painted and ready for fight, coming up at full gallop.” Lieut. Pell, at the head of his men, advanced to meet them, and held a parley, He told them his object was peaceable, and as an evidence of it, gave up the man he had cap- tured, but said they :ust surrender three of their horses for the three cattle they had recently killed, and also their chief Lobo. s they refused to do, denying all knowledge of the matter; whereupon Bell ordeved his men to take three of their best horses, which he pointed out, and Lobo, the chief, This made the Indians furious, and they showed every demonstration for a fight, Lobo in the meantime making his escape, and again placed himself at their head. Lieut. Bell now determined to attack them, which, when arceived by the Indians, they dismounted, turned their orses loose, and prepared to resist. They were drawn up opposite each other, and about thirty paces apart— the troops in @ line, andthe Indians in a semicircle. Bell charged through them, the men using Colt’s pistols in- stead of the sabre, the Indians falling flat on the ground | or dodging behind their horses. The dragoons wheeled and charged them again,; then they broke and ran into a deep ravine near by, inaccessible to horsemen, and thus made their escape. ‘Two soldiers were killed,’ and four badly wounded: of the Indians five were killed, including their chief Lobo, and many are supposed to have been wounded, as much blood was seen upon the rocks, and reveral were helped away by their comrades. Among the spoils that fell into the hands of the Americans were the horse, bows, arrows, lance, &c., of the chief. Lieut. | Bell, the fameevening, marched for the crossing of the Red river with his wounded, as he was not strong enough to pursue the Indians; and the night after the attack a band of forty Apaches made a descent on the herd of government cattle peengny to Fort Union,and ran off two hundred bead. Lieut. Bell has already been ordered to go, ie pursuit, and also to meet the mail and see it safe in, We have not heart of any thing, for along time, that gave us so much satifaction as the "defeat of these In- dians, and the death of the scoundrel Lobo. This small band of Apaches, haye caused more trouble, for the last three or four years, than all the other Indians in the Territory. They do not number more than one hundred men, all told, and are a band of outlaws—freebooters of the plains. ‘They are not only at war with the Americans and Mexicans, but with all the neighboring tribes, ex- cept a few Eutahs who join them in their roobing excur. sions. It was these rascals who captured White's party, and they have been gullty of all the depredations com: mitted in that part of the Territory for a long time. Too much praise cannot be given to Lieut. Bell and the brave men under his command, for the gallant man- ver in which they conducted themselves; and if we had the matter in our own hands, he would be Capt. Bell to- morrow. He has given the Brst defeat to this darin band of outlaws, they hove received, and we hope he wil follow it mp, until he entirely wipes them out. or whips | them into submission. We understand he killed an In. | dian with his own hand; and that Capt. Sykes and Lieat. | Maxwell behaved with great bravery and each brought | wn his man, A soldier cleft asunder the head of an | Indian, with his sabre, from his crown to his chin, and was afterwards lanced and killed by another Indian. The | fleld was well contested, and nothing but the courage of Lieut, Pell and party gave him the victory. * * We eannot conclude, this article without paying a well merited compliment to General Garland an Lieutenant Colonel Cooke. Since the former has been in command in this suppressing Indian depredations and punishing the offenders. He has shown a desire to assist the civil authorities in every possible way, which is quite in con- trast with the conduct of some ‘previous commanders. Lieut. Col. Cooke has also exhitited a commendable zeal in carrying out the orders of Gen. Garland, and is en- titled to much credit for the promptness with which he _ has acted in the last difficulties with the Apaches. We copy the following from the Santa Fe Gazette :— ‘The expedition in search of the Utah Indians who stole the animals from near Taos, about three weeks ago, re- turned, after an absence of eleven days, on Saturday, the 1th March. ‘They followed them about a hundred ‘and forty miles, but failed to overtake them. They travelled up the valley of the Del Norte until they struck the In- dian trail, about ten miles above the mouth of the Trin- chares, thence through the Sand Hill Pass on to the head of the Heurfeno, down the same ten miles, and turned up the North fork ‘into the valley of the Wet Mountains ‘They returned by the head of the Sangre de Cristo Pai and Fort Massachusetts, They saw many indications of Indians, and at one place counted more than a hundred lodge marks. They followed the trail until it joined the main village, which is now encamped further to the north, in the valley of the Valle Salado, and numbers, as is supposed, near three hundred warriors. The detachment crossed the trail of Col. Fremont, in his recent survey for arailroad, and found large quantities of snow, sufficiont to render the route impracticable, His Excelleney David Meriwether, Governor of New Mexico, accompanied. by lls son, Mr. Raymond Meri- wether, and Mrs. Louis Smith, left this city on Monday, | March 20, for the United States. Governor Meriwether will be absent some four or five months, and, in the mean- | time will visit Washington, in order to bring before the administration many matters of importance to this Ter- ritory. We consider his visit, at this time, to the fede- ral capital as highly important, and believe it will result in much good to New Mexico. We have been informed, by good authority, that Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Indian Agent, has given permission to the Indians of the plains to take the animals of the Mexi- can buffalo hunters they meet with. they have already taken some eighty head, and sold them to a trading | house near Bent’s Fort. If this should be true, we hope | the government will take notice of itin the manner it | demands. We learned while in the Rio Arriba, last week, that three or four men had been killed in the Indian Pueblo of Nambe, for the crime of witchcraft. The Catholic | priest at Conada states that a deputation of Indians | Waited upon him with written charges against four of their number, then in confinement, accused of having eaten up the little children of the village. He ordered confined. One of the deputation appeared satisfied, and said he would not have anything more todo with the matter, but the others objected, and seemed bent on Paying them executed. Two or three days afterwards the priest inquired of some one from the Pueblo what | had become of the prisoners, and was told they had all been put to death. We presume this matter will be ju- | dictally inquired into at the coming term of the Santa Fe Court. | “We received nows from Taos, two or three days ago, that the Utah Indians had been committing recent de- | predetions in that section of the Territory. On the 26th ult.,.0 pert of them made a descent upon the settle- | ment of Culebra, and stole about thirty horses. Informa- tion was immediately given to Major Take, command: Cantonment Burgwin, at Taos, who started a company 0: dragoons in pursuit, in the morning of the 28th ult. | They were acccropamted by Kit Carson, the Indian Agent, and about twenty citizens as volunteers. | Weunderstand that the Apache Indians in the south- ern part of the Territory, have recently commenced de- redations, and run off the stock of the farmers in their vicinity. We will turn them over to the hospitality of Gen. Garland.

TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION CONTINUED. Court of Oyer and Terminer. SECOND DAY. Before Hon. Judge Roosevelt. May 3.—The court met this morning at 10 A.M. The prisoner entered court soon after ten o’clock. She had been quite il during the previous night, anda carriage was again used to convey her from the Tombs. Mrs. Hayas, who has been for some time past seriously indisposed, became very much exhausted this morning, and was obliged to be removed from the seat near her counsel to an open window, where she was supported by her female attendant, Here, too, she sank beneath the weight of her unfortunate position, and was so debilitated that the officers of the court provided her with a sofa and pillows, on which she reclined throughout the day. George Hagan sworn, Q. In the month of January last, where was your place of busin A, At 133 Grand street, between Crosby and Broadway. Q. Did you know Dr. Lutener? A. I did. Q. Do you remember the day of his death? A. I do; saw him in my place of business; it was between ten an half st ten o'clock. Q. How do you fix that time dffferont from what you did at your former examination? A. A person I wii Med to see I knew I could not find before aine, I waited till ter nine and remained there some time and went to sev- eral other places before I returned to my place of busi- ness; when I got there the Dr. was crossing by my shop; called him in; he was coming from the Bowery towarks Broadway; he hand some kind of a leather bag; it was black; he signed a paper for me in my shop. ‘To the Court—There was a clock within a few feet of mo, but I did not look at it, or if I did I don’t recollect; the Doctor signed the petition; I went to several indi. viduals to sign it; one was Mr.’ Anderson, No. 99 Bowery; saw him before J returned; the petition was to commute the sentence of James L. Hoare; called on somebody else, can’t recollect who; I considered it a case of humanity. Q. What is your business? A. A carpenter. Q. In what direction did Lutener go after he signed the petition? A. I think he went towards his office in Broad- way; he left his behind him; I called him back again. Q. From whom did you hear of his death? A. In El- derd’s office, at the same time that Elierd heard of it; it was ten or fifteen minutes after he left with the bag; m: shop and Elderd’s and Lutener’s are all on the same lot; the entrance to Dr. Lutener’s is on the Broadway side, not the Grand street side. Q. Have you any other reason than that you have stated for fixing the time different from what you did on the Coroner’s jury? A. I have had more time to reflect. At this stage of the proceedings the counsel for the defence asked permission to have a couch provided for Mrs. Hays, who was 80 ill as not to be able to sit up. | “The District Attorney said he would suggest, in view of the condition in. which the prisoner was placed, and con- sidering her evident illness, it would be better to adjourn the case ier kre until she had time to recuperate. | He did not situation of the prisoner. ‘The Court said it depended upon the prisoner’s coun- | sel to say whether or not they should adjourn. | Mr. Whiting said they were anxious to proceed with Fx | Q Did you ever think or say anything different with | regard to the time you saw Dr. Lutener? A. Yes. { | ination proceeded with:— Q. Where did you go state? A. I can’t recollect where, unless it was here on this stand; it might have been in conversation; did not so state before the Coroner’s jury; my mind was confused at the time. ' Q. Will you now say positively that the time you saw Dr. Lutencr on that amorning was after ten o'eldck or be- | fore? | _ Counsel for defence objected to the question, as lead- | a % bey because it assumed that the witness will swear falsely. | The question was finally allowed to be put. Witness—It was after ten o'clock. The examination of witness before the Coroner’s jury was here shown to him. Q. Is that your signaiure? A. It is. The District Attorney said he proposed to show that be- fore the Coroner’s inquest the Witness stated the facts in a different way from what he had stated here upon the stand. He would cite Ist Greenleaf on Evidence, page ‘Whether it be competent for a party to prove that a witness whom he bas ealled, and whose testimouy is un favorable to his cause, had previously stated the facts in | a different manner, is'a question upon which there exists some diversity of opinion,”’ &e. ‘The counsel for defence objected to the introduction of such evidence. No party could impeach his own witness before the conclusion of his evidence. If a party puts witness upon the stand, and the witness's testimony different from what he expected it to be, he has a right to call another witness to prove errors in fact. After a lengthy discussion the cross-examination of witness was proceeded with. Cross-examined—Q. fid you see the doctor after his | death? A. No; when I heard of his death I was in Mr. | Elderd’s office; I think I might have gone to some other place after the Doctor signed the petition, but cannot tell; | Tam satisfied I went to Elderd’s office after twelve; dine | Letween eleven and twelve. | Q.

Frqm nine to fourteen minutes. | Q Have you any distinct recollection of the time you left Harlem that morning? A.

They talked some minutes—I conld | not hear all they said; what I did understand was that | he would show her up what she was; she stepped | towards him and slapped his face, and said, “Take that for your impudence ;” after that Mr. Hayes spoke in a@ threatening tone; I could not under- stand what it was; the Doctor stepped forward and | took a revolver out of his pocket, which he usually car- | ried, laid it on the table, and said, “I am ready for you;”” Mir.

When you entered that room, on your return from College place, had the Doctor the newspaper in his hand?

Jt appears that Mr. Wolle, whois the Senator from the Louisville district, in his speech to the jury, spoke of the people of Louisville as “blood hounds.”” “this, how- ever, he denies in the following card:— or THE CouRTER:—Owing to misrepresentations veoh at Elizabethtown, I have to request the pend their _ about what Il nd will shortly appear. ‘The stenographer, I learn, is now ot York to publish the proceedings of t! know that my speoch has yet been writt: 1 utterly di that I used the by the corre: , Whatever harsh remarks I may have made, refereed to class of persons hore, and not to che people of the ty am incapable of uttering each horrible sen ts towards my numerous friends here, including a number who are bound to me by the tenderest ties on earth.

Ata late hour last night the scholars of oneor more of the schools in the city procured about forty dozen good and bad, and with @ misctliancous assortment of stones, chunks and eggs, discharged several volleys at the house, greatly to the building's disfigurement and the smi ing of the cars. Several squads of the police appeared and commanded the peace, but there was nothing broken but the eggs, and perhaps a pane or two of glass. The following items we copy from the Courier:— PiayinG Caxps iN Jait.—Col. Buckner is out in a card denying that the witness Barlow, who testified to so much ‘ard trial, ever played ecards in the count He says the assertion is false from beginning to end, and furthermore promises to get the certificates of the Warde that the ex-turnkey, John Sherley, never played cards with them in his life, neither in jail nor out. ‘We have confidence in a statement of Col. Buckner’s ‘ntleman a Christian. Nevertheless, he may be mistaken in this case, since he was not always in immediate attendance at the prison. Besides, Barlow seems to have a peculiar faculty of being present {a places and at times when no one else is aware of his pre- sence.

Resolutions were pass- ed execrating the jurors and holding their actions to public scorn. Great excitement prevailed in the and was rapidly spreading throughout the county.

[From the Louisville Times, April 30 ] The meeting ot the Court House last night was very uproarious. A Vast suanibied, many of them doubtless attracted by mere motives of curiosity.

Mr. Crittenden was re- quested to resign bis seat in the Senate of the United States, and Mr. Wolfe his in the Senate of Kentacky Both these gentienien will, doubtless, pay due respect te these polite invitations. If the demonstration had stopped there it would have been harmioas, and the gen ilemen burnt in effigy have considered it a very silly an@ ridiculous joke. But the passions aroused could not be saticfied without the destruction of property. Mr. R. J Ward's bouse was fired, and his conservatory and av’ demolished. The house was fortunately rescued by the timely exertions of the firemen. A locge crowd afters wards assembied in front of the residence of Mr. Wolfe, and Bprrcheasions were entertained that it would be de moli:hed, but they were addressed by Col Thomassow, Col.
