The Mobile Register of the fifth says:
Itilappears that *re are five hundred and
four men entamped on that Island. They
exhibit no appearance; of a military organ
ization:, but. are kept under strict arrange
inenis.foi the preservation of
.order.—
They are believed, however, to compose
a regiment Under the command of Col.
- White; of Yucatan celebrity; Lieut. Col.
Biscoe - ,. and Maj. Maris. The Colonel
and Major pass much of their time at Pas
cagoula, and are said to be intelligent and
pleasant gentlemen.
The men on the island are in possesion
of plenty
. of money, and obtain their sup
, plies of provisions from New Orleans.-- :
Seine apprehensions were entertained of
obstructions m procuring supplies, in, con
sequenceaf' Corn. Randolphs proclama
tion; but they have succeeded in eluding
the- vigilance of.the five vessels (the Alba
nia, the Flirt;, 4 the Gep. Taylor, the Nymph '
and the,Water'Witch) which closely in
vest . the island. On Sunday, a schooner
arrived from New Orleans, laden with
%-provisiims: and anchored at the wharf at
,
■
N:
~'~ ~,
._
Pascagoula. That night, Major Harris
• went aboar?d, and the schooner quietly
• slipped from her aEchorage, and sailed
for, the west eni) of the island, where she
was run on the beach. Immediately she
was boarded by 11.10 .men, and her cargo
was taken outand floated or carried ashore.
Before it was entirely removed, however,
the officers of tilt Nyjnph had got notice
of the movement, ands boat was dispatch
ed in pursuit.. Uptm arrivatcst the schoon
.-er, it found all the cargo gone, except
nine barrels of bread, one barrel of sugar,
and a bag of coffee. These the officers
ofthe boat forbid being taken ashore, and
the Round Islanders were compelled to
submit. Major Harris returned in the
boat and passed tbenight upon the Nymph
being: upon friendly terms with the cum
matider.
This affair created considerable excite..
ment at Pascagoula, on board General
Toylor's squadron. The general semi.
ment was, that the United States officers
had nolawful authority for interfering with
the persons on the Island, as they are un
armed, or with any of their peaceful cqin.
munieations with the shore or with New
Orleans.
Commander Randolph sems to have ta,
ken the view himself, and to be convinced
that he had gone to Far in his proclama
tion. Consequently he sent a communi
cation, on Monday morning to the Island
informing its occupants that hereafter he
th
'V
tho
would not interfere with their proceedings,
further than to prevent any armed depar
ture in sea-going vessels from the Island,
that they .would be allowed to receive
supplies of provisions but not- arms. .The
Commander has very properly come to
the conclusion that he has no authority to
do more than to prevent the fitting out and
conveyance of an "armed expedition"
from du. United States.

Little debut is entertained at Pascagoula
'but that the object of this assemblage is to
make an attack upon the Island of Cuba,
in connection with similar crusades from
other parts of the United States.
The New Orleans papers state that it
• was rumored at Pascagoula that to-day
some of the officers of the "Round Island
ers" intended . to make application to the
legal authorities at that . place, for a civil
process against the officers who have cut
off their supplies, and endeavor to have
them arrested on a peace warrant.
We have understood upon good author

Saturday, took over to Perry S. Warfield,
Esq., at Biloxi, the necessary affidavits,
&c., to conduct the prec2edings.

TILL• SPANISH POLICY IN CUBA.—The
Spanish Government, jealous of all for
eign interference in Cuba, have adopted a
rule which, persevered in, might at some
day cause them.the loss of their Island.—
They refuse to permit any foreign Gov
ernment to send any agent of a diplomatic
character to Cuba. The Island itself,
which isrcapable of supporting the popula
tion of an empire. is so closely connected
with the United States by the tics of corn
mere, thnt it is almost impossible for the
Government of the United States to avoid
oollision with the Spanish authorities, in
consequence of the refusal of the Court of
Madrid on all occasions to permit any 15ind
of diplomatic intercourse with the Captain
General of Havana.

The French Government lately sent
Mr. David to Cuba as Consul General.—
The jealous Court of Madrid refused him I
an excquatur as Consul General, but gave
him one as Consul. This did not satisfy
Mr. David. He, ',soon after his arrival,
came into open collision with the Cuban i
authorities. A Frenchrrian, who had been
domiciliated in Cuba for five years, and
who desired to continue his residence in ,
that Island, was called upon by the au- 1
thorities in Cuba to obey an ancient Span
ish decree, which directs that any foreign
er who shall have resided five years in
Cuba shall take the oath of allegiance to
the Queen of Spain, or leave the Island.—
Against the injustice of this arbitary decree
when appealed to him, the Frenchman.
protested, and applied to the Consul (Mr.
David) for protection. Mr. David at once
began a correspondence with the Captain.
General on the subject. The Count of
Alcoy received several of Mr. David,s let-
ters : but, as soon as he discovered that!
Mr. David was .groiting. diplomatic, the
Captain-General sent back to him his let
ters, with a. refusal' to hear any more of
his complaints. Mr. David immediately,
struck his flag, considering the affair an
insult to his country, left his archieves in
the care of the American Consul, with a !
pOrtion of his family, and departed_ out of
that coast on his way to France. Wo
have not yet' heard the - denouement of this
controversy. But it isbelieved thii French
Government has approved the conduct' of f
Mr, David; and the French residents in
Cuba, as a matter of course, have all ta
'ken-sided with him.—Nat. Intellgencer.

Great „Excitement in St. Louis—Mysterious
Disappearance—Family Polsoned—lncen
diansm—Murder, &c.
St Louis, Sept.l4. •
On Wednesday last 'Mrs. Malten,
German woman, disappeared in a • very
mysterious manner. .Search was made
for her, but in vain. Yesterday some per
sena found some articles of clothing near
the Medical College, which were recog
nized as belonging to Mrs. M. This soon
raised •a large mob, and it being generally
believed that the woman had been kidnap
ped by some of the students, great excite
ment prevailed. The mob swelling, threats
were mado to tear- down the College.—
In the meantime a search warrant was
issued, and the college thoroughly exam
ined, but no trace was found to Justifyb the
'belief that Mrs. M. had been decoyed into
the building. A portion of the slob con
tinued to loiter about the college th e iring the
night, but the presence of the authorities
restrained them from any act of violence.
Bernard Seller yesterday admistered a
dose ofarsnic to his family, lionsisting of
his wife and child, and it is very doubtful
whether they will recover.
The inhuman monster has' been arres
ted, and committed to prison.
Some scoundrels madetipsunsucceeellil
attempts. yesterday to blow up Smiths
flowering milts.'
There were several attempts at incendi
arism,. nod. one murder. committed' . last
night. . ,
The weather was cool and invigorting,
and the city vety healthy.
The Yeoman,
The man who stands opon his - own soil,
who 'ice's, that by the laws of ..the land in
which he lives—he is the rightful and ex
clusive owner of the land which he tills,
is by the constitution of our nature, under
wholesotne influence, not easily imbibed
from any other source. He feels—other
things being equal—more strongly than
another, the character of man as the lord
of the inanimate world. Of this great and
wonderful sphere, which, fashionod by the
hand of God, and upheld_by his power, is
rolling through the heavens a portion is
his; his, from the center to the sky. It is
the space on which the generations before
him moved in their round of duties; and
he feels himself connected, by a visible
link, with those who prcceedod him, as he
is also, to the e who will follow him, and
to whom he is to transmit a home. Per
haps his farm has come down to him from
his fathers. They have gone to their last
home ; but he can trace their footsteps
o
ver the daily scenes of his labors. The
roof which shelters him, was reared by
those to whom he owes his being. Some
interesting domestic tradition is connected
with every enclosure. The favorite fruit
tree was planted by his father's hand. He
sported, in his boyhood, by the side of the
brook, which still winds through the mead
ow. Through that field, lies the path to
the village school of his earliest days.—
He still hears from his window, the voice
of the Sabbath bell, which called his (*eth
ers and his forefathers to the house of God ;
and near at hand is the spot where he laid
his parents down to rest, and where he
trusts, when his hour is come, he shall be
dutifully laid by his:children. ' These are
the feelings of the owner of the soil.—
Words cannot paint them ; gold cannot
buy them; they flow from the deepest foun
tains of the heart; they are the life spring
of a fresh, healthy, generous national char
acter.—Edward Even*.
Education.
An education is a young man's Capital;
for a well-informed, intelligent-mind has
the best assurance of future ciiiiiwAiey:
and happiness. A father's best "giftles bii
child, then, is a good education;_; If 3rott
leave them wealthy, you may assure their
ruin ; and at the best you only leave them
that which at any moment may be lost.
If you leave them with a cultivated
heart, affections trained to objects of love
and excellence, a mind vigorous and en.
larged, finding happiness pure and eleva
ted in the pursuits of knowledge, you ef.
feet an insurence on their after happiness
and usefulness. Unless you bring up the
young mind in this way, you cannot, with
any justice, claim for its possessor inde
pendence. Your children must :be virtu
ous, or they will not desire it. They must
be intelligent to have them intelligent as
sociates, as thoy must have habits of in
dustry and sobriety to make thd . company
of the industrious and sober agreeable.
It is in your power to bestow this vir
tue, this intelligence, and these golden
habits. Present them a good model in
your own life, and give „them:: every op
portunity to cultivate the heart and the un
derstanding. 7 Spare not expense on your
school, and put into your children's hands
everything that:pay encourage or assist
them in their mental or moral improve.

SENATOR HOUSTON AND WOMAN.-111
political address recently delivered at
Nashville, Texas, Senator Houston was
gallant enough to say the following hand
some things of woman :
"He'owed his reformation to the la
dies (a good many of whom were present)
—to woman ! And he was proud to make
it a boast every where, that in Texas the
rights of women were more securely guar
antied than in any other State in the U
nion. To the credit of her sons, be it said
that they most highly appreciate the warmth
and influence of the ladies. He attributed
all the. bad habits of the Texans. to the
want of female population. That evil was
removed, and we were another people.—
Woman exercised an illimitable influence
in giving caste to the mind of man, and
in fbrming his character. In health she
adorns and embellishes his habits; in sick
xtess she is a balm and a solace to the
wearkand worn spirit."

MANY.
The Louisville News says, that on the
28th ultimo, in that city,, a young lady
made her appearance on the levee near
the ferry landing. After standing a few
moments in a meditative mood, she threw
herself into the river and disappeared be
neath the waves. A young man who was
standing near by and witnessing her
movements, immediately rushed to the
rescue, and succeeded in bringing her
safe again to terra firma—when he discov
ered he had saved the life of his sister.—,
We understand that the cause of this
attempted suicide was seduction.

On and after the first day of June 1849,
the "UmoN" will be published under the
joint editorial management and tontrorof
the subscribers.
As both of the undersigned have been
before the public in different stations—one,
of us for nearly half a century, and the
„other for several years—we believe it will
t3ot•:'be deemed arrogant in us to suppose
that nothing more than a general - declara•
tion of our principles and the course which
we intend to pursue, will be necessary at
this time.
The political character (If the "thcroN"
will remain unchanged. As it has hith
erto done from the date:of its publication
to the present time, it will continue to ad
vocate the great principlel of the demo
cratic party as expounded by its illustri.
ous founder, THOMAS JEFFERSON, and Car
riedinto successful practice in the admin
istration of the government by subsequent
democratic Presidents; principles which
have secured for our beloved country an
expansion, progress, and glory unexam
pled in the history of ancient or cotempo
rary empires,•and elevated it to'the first
rank among The nations of the' earth.—
Those principles have been more, fully de
veloped in the original. Prospectus which

publication of the "UrnoN," and re-pub

JOHN STITES,
a strict constiuction of , the "constitution;
confining the several br,anehes of the gen
eral government to their particular spheres
°faction, ana,requiring of all a faithful per
formance 'of duty ; and especially demand
ing and insisting that the President of the
United States shall, not abdicate his, high
powers and his responsibilities to an irres
ponsible cabal, under the name of a cabi
net, who are not chosen by the people, &
aro not accountable to them at the ballot
box.
Such are, in general, the principles
which the " UNION' will advocate; and, in
performing the duties which they have
jointly assumed, the undersigned are a
ware that, in the present crisis, it will de
volve upon them to discuss the policy and
measures of the party in power with free
dom, and perhaps, on some occasions,
with severity. But, in executing their high
functions as conductors of the public press,
they will not forget the dignity nor the a
menities due to their position, while they
perform - their duty to the people with the
firmness and fidelity which the occasion
may dethand.
Aware that the "UNION" is the sole or.
gan at the scat of government, of the great
democratic party, which represents The
people of the United States not - only in
principles and sentiments, but also in num
bers, the undersigned will endeavor to con.
duct it in that liberal and catholic spirit
which the true interests of their country
and party demand at their hands. They
are not blind to the fact that in a republic
so extensive as this, and embracing such
a wide range of latitude and climate,
ferent interests and different institutions
must spring up apparently conflicting with
each other, but, in reality, each contribu
ting to the advancenient of the whole.—
This apparent conflict of interests and in.
stitutions, of course, gives rise to senti
ments and opinions as apparently diverse,
but which, rightly understood, and under
just restraint, can do no injury to each
other. With regard to these conflicting
sentiments and opinions, growing out of
local causes and institutions, it will be the
object of the undersigned not to interfere,
except to inculcate concession and forbear.
ante on all sides, and to secure to eachthe
just protection which the constitution pro.
raises to all.
Our endeavors will be to unite all the
elements of the democratic party in sup- -
port of its common principles, and in an
effort to regain its ascendency, which has
cen lost by the mistaken trust and confi
dence which some of its members hrve re.
posed in a man, now occupying the presi ,
dency, who had gained high military hon
ors in a noble and patriotic cause, and
who, in order to attain the highest civic
honors, made promises ane pledges which
he has, from incapacity to fulfil his duties,
or from intentional desigh, grossly 'viola
ted, thus betraying to the enemy those
who confided in him, and bringingdisgrace
upon the Presidential office.
In carrying out these purposes and in
tentions, the undersigned feel that they
shall stand in need of the active and ener
getic co-operation and support of the undi
vided democracy of the conutry. The
party in power has secured its ascendancy
by a fraud upon th c people, and has most
shamefully violated all the pledges which
it made to attain power. It will endeavor
to maintain its ascendency by the same
unscrupulous means. It is the party rep
resenting the foreign sentiments and prin
ciples now too openly prevalent in this
country, and which arc at war with the
principles Of our government and with pop
ular liberty. It is the party which always
allies itself with every foreign enemy wirh
which our country may happen to be at va
riance. It is the party that espoused the
cause of Great Britain in tre war of 1812,
and leagued with Mexico in the war of
1845. Sound political morality, fidelity
to republican 'principles, and that spirit of
true patriotism which ever frowns upon
treachery to ones one's country, require
that this party shall be expelled from the
power which it has gained by such repre
hensible means, and is now exercising for
such unjustifiable ends. And in this great
work we invoke the energetic and unti
ring aid of every patriot and every friend
to popular liberty and free government,
assuring them that we shall endeavor not
to be wanting in honest efforts to accona.
plish that part of the work of reform which
may devolve on us.
But, while the "UNION" will be mainly
devoted to politics,it will not overlook the
demands of the domestic circle. It will
contain all the important news of the day,
and devote a reasonable portion of its col
umns to matters of interest relating.to sci
ence, the arts, and general literature.
