Attorney Black, for the govern ment, replied, contending that the fourteenth amendment merely created .a. disability and not a penalty, which is the snbject of judicial sentence, and was not inconsistent with the act against treason. The amendment was permanent and prospective; and could not reasonably be construed as intended to re peal existing punishments for past and future treasons. The Court then adjourned.

J * Both the reports are so ridiculons as hardly to merit a refutation. By accepting the first proposal, the Patriots would have everything to lose and nothing to gain; for before the Cortes could meet and arrive at a decision in regard to the form • of government to be adopted in Spain, the reinforcements now on theiryens "from Spain will have arrived. here.: The Spaniards might thus gain a great ad vantage, and to obtain this delay some such propositions were made to the chiefs of the revolution, but were unhesitatingly and scom- fdlly rejected. The idea of the Patriots having accepted the second proposal is sim ply ridiculous. We are not fighting- for re form, but for independence. So far from these statements being trqe, we who are fully informed'of everything going op, and par ticularly well informed as to the plans of the revolutionary leaders, with whom we are in communication, beg to assert most positively that so far from being disposed to lay down our arms, we are about to strike a blow that will re-echo on the continent, We will lay down our arms when Spain shall have recognized our independence, and not before,. notwithstanding Spanish asser tions and wishes to the contrary. One of the main objects the fabricators of the news in regard to our laying down our arms had in view, was that their false rumors should reach the United Slates and discour age sympathizers with the Cuban cause.

County, Tennessee, A little over a weekago a frightful tragedy was enacted in Fentress county, in this State, near the Kentucky fine. The GOurier-Journal, of Louisville, has the following particulars :. There lived in that section a family composed of an old lady, some eighty years of age, and her three grandchildren—one a young lady, another a boy of twelve, and the third a small eirL In the neighborhood was a man named Logsdon, ill-favored of face and of little char acter, who in some way became cognizant of the feet that the old lady had m her posses sion a considerable, amount of money, the back pay of her dead son . who had .been a soldier; and he resolved to secure it at ail hazards. Proceeding one. wgbt to the house she occupied, Logsdon, with knife and re-. volver, murdered the grandmother and grand daughters, and left the boy for dead also. AU the money he found, however, was $75, and with this he fled. The hoy, who fortunately survived, next day told the tale of the bloody ESSSSk?wki' and-the sheriff of Fentress A RACK COURSE TRAGEUV. Tlxe Personal Difficulty Between Gen. Foxwcst, and P. 91. Dickinson, Esq. [From fee ■Memphis Post, November 27. J The race course yesterday was the scene of not only a spirited race, despite the mnddy track, but also a collision between two of the judges, Justice P. M. Dickinson and General ForreBt, which occasioned the riling up of much bad blood, a bedlam of curses, a gen eral display of deadly weapons, and the shooting of officer Shocke in toe abdomen by’ by William Forrest; a brother of General Forrest ... The race.was between a favorite mare of H. A Montgomery, Esq., and a fine gelding of Col. Cockrell. The judges, as chosen and mutually agreed upon by toe parties inter ested in toe contest, were Gen. N. B.‘ Forrest, Squire P. M. Dickinson and Sheriff A. P. Ctury. Two o’clock p. m. was. toe hour ap pointed for "toe races. The judges’ agreed upon toe Long feland rules to govern their decisions, and tne standard was to be the best three heats in five. The Cockrell horse won the first heat in 3:10|. The mare won toe second in 3:04$. The third heat was disputed; but toe judges decided in fevor of-toaCockrell horse. Out of toe decision of this trot a dispute arose be tween Gen. Forrest and Squire Dickinson. As we are informed, toe latter declared that his opinion had riot been consulted in regard to this last decision.. Gen. Forrest becairie greatly enraged at the assertion and in dignantly denied toe statement, and Wound up by giving too ’Squire a slap in toe face. The Squire instantly drew his piBtol and poolly leveled it at toe General, and was in toe act of discharging its contents when Up rushed toe police, about fifteen or twenty iu number, and the bystanders—among them Jesse and William Forrest—and prevented toe intended shot. Great confusion, nngiy words between toe friends of the two coiri- batants, a drawing and' clicking of shooting irons ensued.' Jesse and William Forrest, with pistols in each hand, were prominent in toe tragical scene. Deputy Sheriff Wright seized toe arms of the former and prevented his shoot ing, but Bill Forrest, retreating a few steps from toe crowd which.. besieged toe Squire, discharged one shot in the direction of Ser geant Brown, of the first district and patrol man Geo. Schocke. Which of the parties toe shot was intended for is riot known, but toe ball passed through toe Sergeant’s coat on the left side, arid into toe abdomen of toe E atrolnian. Fortunately toe ball struck the nttori. fastening Mr. Schocke’s over coat, causing it to glance and rouge along one side of toe abdomen; without penetrating, the in testines. Sergeant Smith, of toe Sanitary Police, about this time, as’we are informed, succeeded in securing toeSquire’s pistol, and stepping np to Geri. Forrest and exposing toe-weapon - in his pocket, remarked, “I’ve got _hia. pistol.” Whereupon toe General grabbed it arid quietly pocketed it, with the remark that he would see that no harm was done. ‘ The wounded man was immediately taken to his home, No. 84 Charleston avenue, where his wound was dressed. Sergeant Brown (whose conduct is said to have been 5 raise>ortoy iu the affair,) and patrolman [ike Dea arrested William Forrest, and quickly, marchin: brought hiiri to 4 the 'station-house, till tois-a. m., when he appeared before Jus tice Griffith upon toe charge of shooting with intent to kill, , and was bound over in toe sum of $4,000. ; Soon after the (arrest .of William Forrest, toe angry erowd quieted down, but no further arrests were made, though scores of parties were known to have deadly weapons in their possession, Order being restored, General Forrest, mounted the stand and after a: brief explanation "resigned his position asjudge; but upon being importuned by his friends he consented to remain, and toe fourth heat was made, toe Oockiell horse winning in 3:07i. Squire Dickinson remained on toe ground, re fusing .to act as .judge; however, till the assemblage left. The rumors on the street this morning are strongly indicative that the difficnlty is not yet over. Officer Schocke is reported by his physician as in a critical condition this morning. 9IASSACRE OF CITIZENS IN ARKANSAS BT CLAYTON'S MILITIA, It II iu •’jc.ri OF A Town-Sacked and Plundered—Unarmed Blen Shot in Cold Blood. •work of the night, arid toe sheriff of Fenfress county, as soon as he could be notified, start ed immediately in pursuit of the murderer, with a warrant. He passed through Clinton county, in Kentucky, where lie was joined by the sheriff of Clinton, and together the two sheriff! made their way to Huntsville, Lin coln county. Here they riaplnred the mur derer atthe house of his. father, even before he had changed the clothing he wore when he committed the terrible crime, and which bore toe blood-stains of cruel murder. It was fonrid.that Logsdon, on reaching his father’s house, had sent for a heavy lock which he designed placmg on toe door, and that he had also sent a woman and a boy for powder, lead and caps. These .parties . w °t e detained however, it was evident he mtend- ; ed making f, desperate resistance, hut the officers experienced little or no difficulty in effecting fas arrest.

[From the Memphis Appeal, Nov. 99.] The absurd proclamation of martial law by toe so-called Governor of Arkansas coiild hardly have other resnlt than rapine and bloodshed. The Washington (Ark.) lelegraph, of the IHto iust, comes to us with an aC-' count of one of the most shocking occur rences of these troublesome times, > which we have not space to reproduce entire this morning. - It appear'd that oil Wednesday, the 10th inst; a band of between two and three hun dred men entered the little town of Center Point, in Sevier county,’ about twenty-eight miles from Washington, and took possession of the place. Thken by surprise," thecitizens were entirely defenseless, and were marshaled en moose in an open field, where they were kept nntil four o'clock? in tile afternoon, not knowing by what authority or tor what reason they were; atl'eated,". In the mean time the town was ransacked and plundered by the armed wretches calling themselves Clayton’s, militia, of everything of value, and whatever they could not oarry away they destroyed. Finally, one Capt. Reeves ad dressed toe captive citizens in the following strain, as reported by the 'Mteipraph: “Gov. Clayton had deolared martial law in Sevier county. They, were there to enforce his proclamation. It was only the imitation of what would ocour. His mBn were en raged. It was with great diffioulty.he could restrain them. They'wanted to klix ten oe twelve men anyhow, They want to: hang some of you fellows. We are coming back here again, perhaps to morrow,” etc. The darkest part of this monstrous out rage remains to be toid. Next day a number of citizens from the adjoining country, hear ing it reported that jayhawkers had made a descent upon Centre Point, came into town, some of them armed.- A meeting was held, and it was agreed, in view of the authority. under which toe raiders had pretended to he acting, to appoint committees to visit Mur freesboro' and Washington " to confer with Claytop and tho military authorities. While they were' still In consultation the horde of thievep and assjiaainB again suddenly, entered the town and oommeneed an indiscriminate - onslaught, shooting down a nrimber and making prisoners .of those who were not fortunate enough to escape. They afterward seleoted three citizens from among the oldest and most respeofable, led them ont and mur- /IAVAii t.ViAiYi it* ifinlrl 'blooii. ‘ Ths Tdcnrcmh In Randolph county, Georgia, Moses George, colored,’was found guilty of arson; but the jury, learning that the punishment was death, reassembled and asked leave to reconsider their verdict. This was granted iri the absence of all counsel for toe State; a verdict of “not guilty” was returned, and George, who had attempted to bum toe town of Cuthbert, was turned loose. dered them *in bold-'blood. The Telegraph thus concludes its account of. this most hor-; rible rruit ofClayton’s blood-thirsty brutality:. “Three other citizens of Sevier connty, ATVauftftH, noted for their respectability’ and standing in the' community, strong and un wavering advocates of peace, of law, of or der, respected for their age and esteemed for their virtueg, Hester, Anderson and Gilbert by name, living under a government declared by Congress.to be republican in form, were, led out to the scene of slaughter and shot down like dogs, by men acting under instruc tions from the Executive of the State. There were also some six or eight citizens wounded* but how many of the militia were killed and wounded we were unable to ascertain-. The militia are still in possession of Centre Pointy and have all 'approaches to the town guarded. They permit persons to enter the pl ace hut will hot permit them to pass ont. The citi zens had. all dispersed except those whom > they still hold as prisoners. ** “Blood will have blood,” and the vengeance of an outraged people will yet fall upon and orash the miserable wretch who thus prepares a banq^t of plunder and slaughter for his murderous minions. Spain says she is in want of a ruler, and the Louisville Courier-Journal, with char acteristic liberality, offers her the present Congress of the United States.
