THE REPUBLIC.
From Havana.
'11m steamship Black Warrior, R. W. Shufeldt,
commander, arrived at New York on Saturday
from Mobile and Havaua. She left the former
port on the 9th instant, at noon, and the latter on
the 12th, at half-past 8 a. m.?making the passage
in lour days and three hours.
A lamentable accident occurod at Havana on
the 10th instant. A horse-race was to come off oil
the "Military Parade Ground," just outside the 1
city walls. For the accommodation of the spec- ?
tators, temporary seats were erected, some of them <
twenty leet Ingh. Just ax the t apiam ?cimm
entered, and the sports were about to commence,
a portion of the seats gave way, precipitating some '
live hundred persons below About forty or fifty *
were citliur kille<l or wounded, comprising all ages j
and sexes.
Tliree Ameriean sailors belonging to the barque '
Jaspar (wlticli vessel recently landed a cargo of (
slaves on the Inland of Cuba) have beun impris- '
oned in the "Moro." They Hay they shipped in <
New York, and when the nature of the trade the >
vessel was to be engaged in was made known to <
them, which was after leaving New York, they *
endeavored to get away from her, but were pre- i
vented by the other part of the crew, consisting of 1
Spanish and Portuguese, who threatened to take '
their lives, and they were compelled to make the <
voyage.
The ship Lady Suffolk was before reported as ?
having, after landing a large cargo of slaves, been '
scuttled and sunk. This, it now appears, was '
not the case, as she went to one of the small ports '
on the south side of the Island, where she was 1
taken possession of by the British man-of-war brig ;
Daring.
The correspondent of the New York Journal of
Commerce, writing from Havana 011 the 11th,
says:
"I should have mentioned in my advice of the
8tli instant that on the 4th Yankee strangers
were permitted to have a decorous supper celebration
at the Dominica. A tablet was displayed,
representing on one side General Washington,
and the flag of the Union affectionately interfolded
with the Spanish, indicating the friendship
that subsisted at the perilous period of our history,
and the assistance which Spanish interest constrained
of Spanish favor in our behalf. The reverse
gave a good portrait of the Queen. The
scene was pleasant and the whole appropriate for
the occasion.
"1 had the pleasure of seeing our new consul,
Judge Clayton, for a few moments this evening,
who will continue on to New York per the steamer
Warrior."
From the Rio Grande.?Ry the arrival at New
Orleans of the United States steamship Fashion,
we have intelligence from Brazos Santiago to Gtli
instant.
The cases of Carvajal, Norton, and their compatriots,
for violation of the neutrality laws, had
been removed to Galveston for trial.
On the 16th ultimo, Captain Granger, with a
rifle company, overtook a party of Indians as they
were crossing to the Mexican side, on their return
from a marauding expedition. Five Indians were
killed on the spot, some Ave or six wounded,
horses, arrows, bows, guns, blankets, &c., were
taken from thein, and those who escaped swam
the river entirely naked.
A murder was committed on the night of the
21st ultimo, in Rio Grande city, by a man by the
name of Kennedy, on the person of Corporal
ituey, 01 Lieutenant i mora s company 01 mounted
^rifles. Kennedy was soon arraigned before
Judge Lynch's court, sentenced and hung.
Troops are continually arriving at the Mexican
towns on the frontier, and in sucli numbers as we
have never before seen. Military encampments
are also being established at points on the Rio
Grande which hitherto have not been considered
of sufficient importance to be guarded by customhouse
guards. It is reported, by passengers recently
arrived from Rio Grande city, that opinions
are freely expressed on the other side as to the
validity in Santa Anna's opinions of the trhaty of
peace, the same liaving been made and ratified
during his absence, thus creating a question as to
the necessity of complying with its observance.
Rio.?We have advices from the River to the
5th. The market for imports and exports firm.
The supply of American produce was fair, and
prices changed hut little from previous accounts.
There was a fair demand from the up-river country.
Coffee had not materially changed. Exchange

OrR. Diplomatic Agents.?The Union of Sat- !
urday morning contained the following announce- '
ment: ^
"It is understood that the Hon. James Bucha- (
nan, whose appointment as Minister Plenipoten- i
tiary of the United States at the Court of St. i
James lias already been announced, will soon pro- f
coed to London to assume the duties of his mis- a
sion. We learn, also, that Hon. Messrs. Soulc i
of Louisiana, Gadsden of South Carolina, Bor- i
land of Arkansas, Green of Missouri, and Bed- 1
inger of Virgini a, having nearly completed their <
pre paratory arrangements, are about to proceed t
to their respective destinations, to enter upon the 1
mums 01 me several missions connaca 1.0 tneir 1
charge."
Savage Trophies.?A correspondent of the
Buffalo Express, at St. Paul, Minnesota, paid a
visit to the Indian village of Kaposia, about five
miles down the river. One of the sights is thus
described: ,
"We saw hanging before one of the lodges a ,
fresh scalp taken within a few weeks from one of
their natural foes?the Chippeways. Jt was hung
upon a hoop, surrounded by eagle feathers, and
what was most strange, there was also a comb
and scissors hanging by. The skin of the scalp
was painted of a bright red, to represent the dropping
blood, and the whole thing was most horrid.
The feud between the Sioux and Chippeways cannot
be cured. They are afraid of each other;
only three weeks since a woman of the Sioux was
shot in the streets of St. Paul, by a party of Chippeways
who were in ambush. The scalp we saw
had been taken in revenge for this murder."
Good Fortune.?About six months ago a
young man in this city, cashier and book-keeper
in a house engaged in the western produce business",
had placed to his credit on the books of his
employer the sum of #100. That was all the
capital lie possessed in cash, lie bad been two
years in Mic house, however; was industrious,
steady, and persevering; understood business; bad
the confidence of his employer, and the prospect
of speedily becoming that person's partner.
The employer, at the time mentioned, died
while on a trip to the North. On opening his will,
it was found that ho had left to the young man
the duty of settling his estate, paying a number of
legncies, &c. The young man had the business
of the house left him, niul the sum of #2,000 cash.
As the fortune of the deceased was in money de]Nisited
in hank, and the estate was not in debt, the
succession was soon settled.
After six months' labor as head of the house, the
young man who had only #100, finds that he has
made #9,000 profits, and is possessed of as handsome
abusinoss as could bcdesircd.
[Arte Orleans Picayune, July 9.
an amdiing meiuent.? i lie journal nj Commerce
tolls the following story :
"One incident in the procession, trifling in itself,
occasioned a good deal of amusement. When
General Pierce had got as far up as the head of
Wall street his hprse became restive, and came in
collision with the animal rode by General Sand ford.
As the President was riding with his hat in his
hand, the hat received the brunt oftlre shock, and
suffered severely, being badly stove in and indented.
The General was too much engaged to notice
the catastrophe, and soon put on the hat in
its unfortunate condition, and retained it in its
plaoe Cat about a block, exciting roars of laughter
among the boys."

The Way of the Transgressor.
The Richmond Times of yesterday contains tut
item of police intelligence, which we regard an
entertaining and instructive, and therefore trans- i
fer it to our columns:
?In the mayor's court George Embury, William
Junes, Daniel Rogers, and James Ellis were
on Thursday arraigned upon the chaige of conspiring
to swindle and actually swindhug Martin
B. Spicer, of the town of Fredericksburg, out of
? -urn of monev ainountiiUF to about A1.4INI.
"The complainant;, Martin B. Spicer, having a
laken the oath administered to witnesses, deposed i
w follows: Saw Jones at the City Hotel Thurs- ]
lay morning last; he proposed a walk; accompa- 1
lied him up Main street, when he remarked that 1
le would go down and see Ab. Waller, who, he
ilieged, owed him #10. Wo turned into 12th J
itreet, but, instead of going to Waller's, Jones ^
nvited me up into Ensbury's. Went in with t
lim, and while there played a game of "seven- j
i|?' for some drinks of whisky. 1 became intoxicated,
when a game of "bluff" was projiosed
tnd commenced. Before the last-named game
commenced, however, several persons had come "
n. Cannot recollect whether it was up stairs
)T below wlien the game of bluff was propossd.
When 1 got through with it 1 had only #6
left. Had #1,500 when I lefl Fredericksburg, '
ind think 1 carried over #1,400 with me to Ens- *
jury's. Knew Jones in Fredericksburg. Reach- 1
id Richmond on Friday afternoon, and met 1
lones at the City Hotel. It was between eight
md nine o'clock Tuesday morning when he took j
me to Ensbury's. Don't know whether I proposed
the game of'seven-up' or not, but recollect refusing
to play that game for money as long as 1 kept
sober. After getting sober Tuesday evening, felt
for my money; found only a #5 and a #1 bill.,
Saw 1). Rogers and Ellis playing cards. Felt
satisfied 1 took at least five drinks in the house.
The first person 1 saw after coming out of Ensbury's
was John Haley. Ho asked me to take a
cup of coffee. Jones seconded the proposition by
saying?'Do so, and I'll pay for it.' Drank the
coffee. Cannot remember whether it was day or
night when I came out of Ensbury's. Jones was
staying at the City Hotel?putting up there-?was
not speaking of John Jones, a gentleman employed
there, but William Jones, tne prisoner at the
bar. Think 1 commenced drinking about ten or
fifteen minutes after entering Ensbury's house, and
recollected betting #40 or #50 on 'Jack tight.'
[Here a discussion ensued between the bench and
the bar as as to what 'Jack tight' could do, in
which great acumen was displayed on both sides.]
Did not leave my door at the hotel unlocked tliat
night; found it secure next morning. While
playing at Eusbury's Jones beckoned to me to go
away; winked his eye at me, but do not know
whether he meant it as a sign to go away or brag
high. Recollected being alone at the card tabic
with a man they called White. !
"Here the examination closed. The Mayor j
stated that he would send the parties on for examination
before the hustings court?Rogers,
Ellis, and Jones, upon the charge of conspiring to
defraud, &c., and Ensbury for retailing licjuor
without license."
Win. Cline, Richard Hankin, Absalom Waller,
and F. W Leeds testified, and their statements
corroborated the foregoing.

Metropolitan Character of New York.
That our city is truly the metropolis of America
no one can doubt, if at all acquainted with its
resources, and superiority in its magnificent hotels,
naval marine, its fleet of ocean steamers, and its
business, enterprise, and energy. Here the highest
talent and acquirement find ample scope, and
the largest remuneration. Science, literature, art,
the drama, law, divinity, surgery, medicine, parade
their proudest names. We have at times
proposed to introduce to our readers some of the
names most distinguished in these several departments,
many of whom, besides a local, have a
world-wide renown, and whose reputation attracts
thousands to be instructed, entertained, and benefited.
Among them is Dr. S. S. Fitch. This
gentleman is one of a line of celebrated physicians.
His grandfather, Dr. Ebenezer Fitch, renowned
for his piety, learning, and skill in surgery
and medicine, was one of the surgeons of the
Connecticut line during the revolutionary war.
His father, Dr. Chauncev Fitch, was the first
physician that settled in Plattsburg, in this State,
and for the greater part of his life was one of the
most successful physicians that ever practised
medicine in America. In the great epidemic of
1813, an epidemic that swept away nearly ten per
cent, of the population of the United States, he
taught its easy and perfect cure, and among his
numerous patients never lost a single cose. Dr. S.
S. Fitch is the third of this line, and was born in
Plattsburg. He, after receiving an excellent acadc
mical aJ)<Tclassical education, repaired to Philadelphia
at an early age to complete his medical education.
There he graduated in medicine, obtainng
the highest honors of his class, H? spent
ibout ten years in Philadelphia, closely and care- <
ully pursuing his studies, after which he visited ]
ill the States of this Union, and many of the In- '
lian tribes. In 1836 he visited Europe, and dur- ]
ng six years much of his time was spent in the
lospitals of I>ondon, Paris, and Italy. In 1842 he (
commenced delivering his celebrated lectures on j
.he causes and cure ofconsumption and disease: on
the loss of life?showing by obvious and easily- t
understood rules how human life may be extended
to at least a hundred years. His lectures won all i
hearers by their truthfulness, common sense, and |
utility. In 1846 Dr. Fitch visited this city, and
published his lectures on these subjects, which 1
met with wonderful success. They inspired con- '
fidcnce, joy, hope, and courage among their readers,
and circulated largely both in this country J
and in Europe# These lectures have passed (
through over twenty editions?between one and j
two hundred thousand copies have been already
sold. To invalids, as well as those in the enjoy- i
mcnt of health, they prove a perfect guide; and 1
those who early adopt their teachings, and follow i
them, cannot lall victims to that scourge of our
climate-?pulmonary consumption. In this city
Dr. Fitch has been consulted by over forty thousand
persons, of both sexes, for numerous and va- '
rious diseases. He differs greatly from otlicrs in j
his view of a physician's duty, as ho thinks every |
member of this important profession should prei.:..

lie dues thin he cannot, though he may enjoy
reputation, meet with the success he could attain
by this means. He writes out an exact and careful
account of every cam that falls under Ilia notice.
These cases already exceed forty-five thousand,
filling more than one hundred lnrge volumes,
all carefully written out. No record of
such extent was ever mado before by a private
physician, and in this way he retains his experience
and daily adds to it; and an examination of
these volumes will show tlint, of all tlioso who
place themselves under his care, ninoteen out of
twenty are restored to health. Dr. Fitch is at
home from morning till night every day except
the Sabbath. His consultations, either at his
house or by letter, are always free, as no charge
whatever is made for examining any case for rich
or poor. The diseases ho treats nre consumption,
asthma, bronchitis, throat diseases, heart diseases,
dyspepsia, bowel troubles, piles, all female diseases,
liver complaints, affections of the head,
skin diseases, and all humors and impurities of
the blood, scrofula, &c., &c. Dr. Fitch resides
at 714 Broadway, where all invalids will find him
a most skilful, spmpathizing, and generous physician.
We think our friends who call on him will
find this a true history of one of our most respect- j

A singular story is told of some Gorman students,
who bearing of the table-moving phenomenon
in this country, wished to try the experirppnt.
As they had no table in the room, they "tried it
on" a manikin, formed a chain about it after the
proscribed mode, and were very successful. The
manikin flew about the room, brandished its fists,
and drove the students all out of the room. Mediums

any thing that lias got fists, unless previously assured

BHANNONDALE SPRINGS.
THIS healthy and beautiful Watering Place
will be under the personal superintendence of
the undersigned during the present summer, who
will use every effort in his power to render it one
of the most attractive and agreeable watering
place? in Virginia. It is situated on an elevation
or spur of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain, in
the county of Jeflerson, five miles south of Charles
lown, the county seat.
Passengers leaving Baltimore or Washington by
the morning train of cars wilt arrive at Harper's
Ferry at half-past eleven a. m., from thence in the
Winchester and Potomac railroad cars, ten miles
to Charlcitown, where a twelve-passenger coach
will receive and convey them into Charlestown,
and, if desired, to the Springs to dinner, over a
good road and through a lovely country.
The analysis made by the late Dr. De Butts from
one hundred grains of the water from the main
fountain, afforded 63 grains of sulphatg of lime,
I0j grains carbonate'of lirne,'J3? grains of sulphate
of magnesia, (epsom 6alts,) 1 grain of the muriate
of magnesia, 1 grain muriate of soda, 3 10 grains
ulphate of iron, and 7-10 grains of carbonate of
iron.
From the above analysis the waters of Shannoniale
may very properly be classed among the Saline
Chalybcates?a combination of the most valuable
description in the whoie range of mineral
waters. It may therefore be positively asserted,
without exaggeration or fear of contradiction, that
no mineral water within the limits of the United
Slates possesses the same constituent partB, or is a
more salutary and efficient purgative, than the
water of Shapnondale Springs ""This water acta
as gently as the mildest aperient, without giving
rise to those unpleasant sensations of pain and debility
so often occasioned by ordinary cathartics,
prepared by the most skilful pbyeicans.
The free use of this water acts almost immcdi
ately upon the skin and kidneys, removes worms,
relieves the convalescent from bilious or other
fevers, dyspepsia, dropsical swellings, calculous
affections, hemorrhoids,scrofula, indigestion, rheumatism,
loss of appetite, exhaustion, general debility,
gravelly concretions, strictures, and a i
variety of other diseases to which man is subject; i
and it is freely acknowledged by all who have
been afflicted with any of the above diseases that
the free use of the Shannondale waters have effected
permanent cures.
Sulphur, mineral, hot and cold baths furnished
upon application at the bar.
The Hotel is large and commodious, the cottages
numerous and comfortable.
The table will be supplied with the beet beef,
mountain and valley mutton, together with all
the luxuries afforded in the fertile valley of Virginia.
The best wines, brandies, and other liquors can
always be had at the table or at the bar.
