THE GAZETTE. □ Wednesday, December 17, 1873. Poor Bazaine. The French court for the trial of Ba fcaine, a marshal under Napoleon in- the late war, after a long deliberation, de clai*ed him guilty of the chargeß of the capitulation of Metz, and an army in the open field, without doing all that was prescribed by honor and duty to avoid a surrender, and the court unanimously condemned him to death, and to be de graded from his rank pi’evious to execu tion. It was apparent to all who had watched the progress of this trial that this court was created to convict, and this brave officer is to suffer the penalty.for loyalty to the empire more than for his incapa city as a marshal. The judges may have relieved them selves of the odium properly attaching to this transaction by signing an appeal for mercy in behalf of the convicted of ficer. This appeal may be the means of saving his life, but at the sacrifice of all that a brave soldier Holdß dearer than life. ST. NICHOLAS. This publication for December, pre sents rare attractions to the youthful reader. It is certainly the best thing of the kind that has ever met our notice, and we are not in the habit of puffing publication for anything but what they really are. Any one who has children upon looking over St. Nicholas will agree with us in all that we say of it. It is tastefully and copiously illustrated, and its reading matter displays a nice dls crimination on the part of the lady con ducting it. We earnestly wish it success. The typographical execution is in keep ing with all work turned out by the printing office with whose mode of do ing business wo have had some practical experience. FROM SPAIN. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Havana, Dec. 1, 1873. Well, my dear Me., you will see from the post-mark on this letter that the trip which was only in contemplation when I saw you in Augusta, has now become a reality, and, the “perils of the deep o’er come,” behold me safely landed at my destined haven. I have a delightful room in the Hotel Habana, fronting the Plaza, and am now [Dec. Ist] sitting at an open window, shaded by the dense foliage of a magnif icent orange tree, inhaling the cool breeze “Del Norte,” and luxuriating in the contrast which this presents to what would have been my condition at home. This is, indeed, a delightful country and climate, and were it not for storms, tornadoes, and “volunteers,” and a few other pests, would be a most desirable place of residence. But these are pests, and, at the present time, the last men tioned are the most disagreeable. The affair of the “ Yirginius ” and the subse quent action of Spain in making the “amende” to the United States seems to have stirred up all the bile which had been rankling in the breasts of this ven omous crew; and, as the result of this feeling, no American, or “Gringo,” as they are pleased to call us, can Avalk the streets of the city without being exposed to insult. However, the ' w Captain- General, Quevollar, fully endorses and will carry out the policy of President Castelar, and no douot these “volunteers” will be soon be taught a lesson which they will remember. Americans —or, as I should say, being here, “Americanos del Norte” —find it extremely difficult to obtain political in formation. I hear enough, however, to say that this matter will soon be amicably— officially speaking—arranged ; but the inexorable “logic of events” demon strates very clearly to my mind that, at no very distant day, the “ Gem of the Antilles ” will become one of the States of the Union, and our Yankee oppress ors will, for awhile, let its alone, and transfer their “Pickings and Stealmgs ” to a more fruitful region. Philanthropy tind emancipation may be the cry that will hound on the hypocritical New En glanders to the new acquisition, but “ Sugar at three cents a pound” will be the real motive. It is true I have no love for our pres ent government, but these “volunteers” are so evtremely conceited and insulting, I would like to see them “ taken down a little.” I will relate an incident which occur red yesterday: Mr. More, a gentleman from Boston, recently arrived—a full blooded Yankee, and of course thorough ly impressed with the greatness of “our glorious Union ’’—was walking down the street when ho was halted by a Volun teer, who deliberately smeared the poor Yank’s face with lampblack—no doubt expressly prepared for this purposo—and then compelled him to promenade for half an hour before a verandah filled with ladies. This last phase of the in dignity was the “hair that broke the camel’s back.’’ The gay little “Gringo,” relying on his personal charms, had come over for the purpose of “acquiring” a sugar plantation by matrimonial annexa tion, and this display forever blighted his hopes ; for, says he, while narrating the occurrence to me, “ the ladies posi tively laughed.” This instance will con vince you that, whatever the respective ministers may say, the “entente cor diale” between the people of the two governments is not very strong. But I am spinning this out too long. Perhaps, after a while, if you. “bite” frse ly at this, I will drop you another line, and bait my hook with the most sensa tional rumors that “fly” about, or such real information as I can “worm” out of our most reticent officials. Very truly, yours, Phelim O’Toole. P. S.—Mr.* Moran and some other gentlemen interested in cotton culture have made me a lucrative offer to go to Brazil to obtain some information about the country, its adaptability to their pur poses, &c. If I go you may rely certain ly upon hearing from me. FROM WASHINGTON. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. Washington, Dec. 8, 1873. Mr. Editor : As intimated in my for mer letter, the probability of war on ac count of the Virginius affair grows less, albeit we have not the foresight to proph esy what events await us “ around the corner.” In fact, the furore in regard to the matter never pervaded the masses, being almost entirely a newspaper sensa tion, in the interest of the sutlers, pro viders, and others, who have got a lively sense of the profits accruing to them dui’ing the late war, and who would glad ly raise a storm to swamp the ship of state if only they could ride the billows. Certainly the signs now point to a peace ful solution of the difficulty, the only real danger to be feared being the action of the volunteers in Havana. The President’s Message was sent to the two Houses of Congress on Tuesday', tho second day of the session, the House not having completed its organisation on Monday in time to receive it. The doc ament created very little stir and has al ready passed out of view as an editorial topic. All the officers of the last Con gress were re-elected, with the exception of the Postmaster, and the various com mittees were announced on Friday last. Your member, Mr. Stephens, was the most observed of any member on the opening day, and was shown the marked courtesy of being allowed to choose his seat before the customary drawing took place. This, however, on account of his physical disability. A like consideration was shown him by the President on the occasion of Mr. Stephens’ call at the White House—His Excellency coming down stairs to meet him. The nomination of Hon. Geo. H. Wil liams for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has not been received with enthu eiasm even by the partisan press, and the independent journals speak very iron ically on the subject. True it is that the nominee had no national reputation be fore he entered the present cabinet. He may turn out, however, to be a diamond in the rough. ■ Judge Underwood, U. S. District Judge for .Virginia, died last night at 10 o’clock of apoplexy. He was lately caned by Mr. McVeigh, of Alexandria, Va., whose property in that city the judgo had bought at confiscation sale during the war. Society, i. e. the “bon ton,” bids fair to be very gay here this winter, in the matter of receptions, balls, &c., notwith standing the scarcity of greenbacks. J. L. P. Court at Washington. Judge Pottle is holding an adjourned term of the Superior Court at Washing ton, Wilkes county, the present week. The trial of Jas. Sutton for the murder of Bryant, case of J. L. Deadw r yler vs. the iEtna Insurance Company of Hart ford, and a heavy civil docket, will prob ably detain the court the larger part of the week. Several of our citizens have gone to Washington to be in attendance at the session of the court. The Atlanta Herald thus recapitulates the points made in favor of a conven tion : The Chronicle w r ants it changed at cost of a quarter of a million of dollars because it don’t like the men who made it. The Milledgeville Recorder wants it changed because Milledgeville wants a Capitol. Mr. John C. Reed, of Oglethorpe, wants it changed because he wants the Supreme Court abolished. W. M.

Dr. Tutt’s Pills are composed of many ingre dients. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla atri Wild Cherry, so united as to act together; the one through its admixture yvith other sub stances, purifying and purging, while the other is strengthening the system. Thus these Pills are at the sanie time a'tonic and a cathartic, a desideratum long sought for by medical men, but never before discovered. In uther words they do the work of two medicines and do it much better than any two yve know of, for they remove nothing from the system but impurities, so that yvhile they purge they also strengthen and hence cause no debility and arc followed by no reaction Dr. Tutt’s Pills hare a wonderful iufluenceon the blood. They net only purify yvithout yveak ening it, but they semove all noxious particles from the chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus makes impure blood an utter impossi bility. As there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea or sickness attending the ope ration of this most excellent medicine, which never strains or tortures the digestive organs, b"t causes them to work in a perfectly natural manner; hence persons taking them do not be come pale and emaciated, but on the contrary, yvhile all impurities are being removed, the combined action of the Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry putifies and invigorates the body, and a robust state of health is the result of their united action.
