HI SPiXISH MAN-OF-WAR AT BROOKLYN.
There is reason to believe that oho of
tie subjects accompanying the discussion
0? the situation was that of the Spanish
aan-of-war now undergoing repairs at
Sew York, and that it was remarked, in
the course of tiie consultation held, that
if the vessel, by any possibility, come
isto the hands of this Government, its
w-<e--ion would more than compensate
lor the loss of the Virginius, so far as

IhffiTHER PARTICULARS OF THE MA88ACRE.
The Secretary of State has received no
further particulars of the Virginius mas
sacre. with the exception of dispatches
from Consul General Hall, showing that
the executions were precipitated by the
Spanish authorities at Santiago de Cuba,
in order to anticipate any interferences
on the part of the home government.
Evidences accumulate upon these facts.
Late this evening official dispatches were
received from Consul General Hall* at
Havana, hut .they contain no allusion
whatever to the executions further than
those reported on tho mornings of the
4th, 7th and 8th insts., and from this it
seems probable that there have been no
other executions, and the rumors to that
effect to-day are believed to be unfounded
Consul General Hall, however, expe
riences much difficulty in obtaining ac
curate information from the Spanish au
thorities.
WHAT SICKLES IS DdfilS.
Minister Sickles was to have had a con
sultation with the Spanish Minister of-
Foreign Affairs, at Madrid, yesterday
evening; but, in consequence of the
news of the further execution, after the
murder of tho first four prisoners, the
Spanish officials expressing intense re
gret and horror at the circumstance, sug
gested to Minister Sickles a reasonable
delay in holding the intended council,
and accordingly a brief postponement
has been arranged.
AN INCORRECT IMPRESSION
has been circulated that Secretary
Fish has asserted that, in case the Vir
ginius was captured in British waters, it
would he necessary for England to hold
Spain responsible for the violation of her
jurisdiction, and that this Government
would make such requirement. Such,
however, is not the case. The position
of Secretary Fish is to hold Spain re
sponsible for the insult to our flag, no
matter whether tho act occurred in Brit
ish, American, or Spanish waters. Tho
question of England holding Spain re
sponsible for an insult to our flag in
British waters, if it should prove to be
within one marine league of British ter
ritory, is one of secondary and minor con
sideration not entering at all into the
present complications.
The Excitement at New York.
New York, November 14. ’ The excite
ment over Cuban affairs continues. The
work of fitting oat the Juniata is going
on rapidly. This afternoon she took on
board her armament and powder, and
will probably sail to-morrow morning to
join thaNorth Atlantic squadron. No
thing has yet been done to the Roanoke,
which is still lying in the river.
The opinion is expressed in the Navy
Yard that the United States government
will be justified in seizing the Spanish
frigate Arohilcs, now lying there for re
pairs. She carries thirty guns.
The Caban Junta.
At the headquarters of the Cuban
Junta nothing of an important chara -ter
was developed. The plans of the Jnnta
are said to be rapidly culminating, but
their nature is not openly discussed.

tion was to-day made before the Supreme

An Episcopal Bishop Withdraws from
that Chnrch.
Louisvtli.e, November 15. — Bishop
Cummins, of Kentucky, in his letter to
Bishop Smith, withdrawing from the
Protestant Episcopal Church, gives as his
resins that he has to exercise his office
iu tho churches where the services are
1 subversive of the truth as it is in Jesus,
and as it was inaiutaiued and defended by
the reformers of the sixteenth century.
Hopeless that the error prevailing so ex
tensively in the English and American
Episcopal Churches can or will he eradi
cated by the authorities of the church,
either legislative or executive, he pro
poses to return to the prayer-book sanc
tioned by Wm. White. He cannot hold
his present position after having partici
pated at the Communion table with cer
tain delegates to the Evangelical Alliance
without sadly disturbing the peace and
harmony of this church, and without im
pairing his influence for good over a large
portion of the same. He cannot surren
der his right thus to mc^i, iiis fellow-
Christians around the table of the Lord.
He must take his place where he can
do so.
From Cuba.

ments of the American papers. The

Market Review.
New York, November 15.—Daring the
week the market for cotton on the spot
has improved. A more settled state of
financial matters and an upward move
ment in gold has relieved the long de
pression and prices have recovered quite
a large partof thedecline. Business has
been chiefly for export, hut there has
been some increase in the demand from
spinners. In forward delivery the up
ward movement has even been more de
cided than on spot. The advance how
ever was hot without wide fluctuations.
..fee total sales of the week were 10s,'
773 bales, of which bales were pn
contract, 12,123 bales were forimmediate
delivery, 7,527 bales for export, 3,323 for

Yictor Emmanuel’s Opening’Address.
Rome, November 15.—Victor Em
manuel, in opening Parliament, hoped
for a continuance of the work of internal
organization, that thus Italy might in
crease in prosperity amid order and
safety, the two indispensable conditions
of industry and progress. It had been
shown that Rome might become the cap
ital without encroaching upon the inde
pendence of the Pope or exercise of his

the Catholic world. We will respect re

not permit attacks upon the nation and
its institutions.

From the Nashville Banner.]
The St. Louis Bridge.
St. Louis has spent several millions of
dollars on her vast bridge over the Mis.
sissippi. She has commenced to fairly
see the end of her great undertaking,
By a curious and novel device the gigan
tic arches have been raised, and fitted,
Just as this has been done there comes a
body of the most eminent United States
engineers, and says that the bridge, as
constructed, is an obstruction to n&vig&>
tiott, that large ships cannot pass under
it at all stages of water, and that a canaV
will have to be cut around the eastern
abutment. This finding of the engineers
tho St. Louis papers deny, and the Re
publican, especially, goes into facts and
figures, which are intended to show that
the cost of such a canal will be three mil
lions of dollars. As is perfectly natural,
the city of St. Louis does not wish to be
involved in tbis expense. Only a few ves
sels would be incommoded by the bridge
at high water, and it is very plausibly
argued that high water does not prevail
often, and also that the style of boat in
convenienced will soon cease to be built,
as too high and heavy for river naviga
tion.
Western Fashions In Mexico.
A young officer in the Mexican army
fell in love with a lady in Puebla. She
promised him her hand in case he would
resign his commission. He did so,
bought a hacienda and then returned to
claim the pledge. She, in ills meantime,
had been wooed and won by' another.
Upon the first visit of the first lover, she
informed him that her heart had under
gone a change. The fiSssionate lover be
came frantic, and upon leaving told her
that he wonld call the next day, and if
she persisted he would kill himself in her
presence. He called the next day, was
persistently refused in the presence of
her mother, whereupon he drew a revol
ver and exclaimed that the love that was
not for Mm should not be enjoyed by an
other, and fired at her' heart, but she
rose and received the ball in her abdo
men. He then-shot liimself. fee insane

From the Holla (Mo.) Herald.]
Mr. Isaac DePriest, of Shannon cohnty,
called at tins office on Tuesday of tms
week and related to us the particulars of
a terrific hail storm which passed oVer'a
portion of his county on Sunday, October
5, and wMch has never been made known
to the public. The storm, unprecedented
in the annals of history, arose in the
northwest corner of Shannon and traveled
eastward. When near Pine Holl -w it
seemed to gather its entire force, and
swept down almost in one solid mass of
ice. Wm. El wood states that several
lumps of ice were to be seen as large as a
nail keg, and that none of the hailstones
were smaller than an egg. They froze to
gether in their downward course, and
when striking the ground emitted a ring
ing sound like that of a crate of earthen
ware let down from heaven. Part of the
house of the Rev. Mr. Moore was swept
away, leaving a sick wife exposed to the
storm. It was with great difficulty that
Mr. Moore succeeded in shielding her from
the hailstones, and even then at the risk
of his own life. CMckens and birds are
now unknown to the people of that sec
tion, having been devastated and carried
away by the fury of the storm. Hogs
and geese were killed in large numbers,
and in some instances cattle. The pine
trees were stripped of every twig, and
large holes were made in some of them.
The gr iss has the appearance of havin'*
felt the mower’s scythe, being cat off
close to the ground. In fact, the work of
destruction was carried on with no slack
hand, and the people will ever bear in
mind the terrible Sunday of 1873.
Young' Female Clerks.
A London paper says: “The experi
ment of employing young ladies as clerks
in an insurance office has been tried and
found eminently successful in the case of
the Prudential, on Ludgate HilL For
more than a year and a half the little
hand, beginning with ten, now reaching
thirty-six in number, and intended to be
still further reinforced, has been working
steadily, and giving entire satisfaction to
the managers. The rooms occupied' by
them are tight and airy, separated alto
gether from those occupied by the male
clerks in the establishment, and furnished
with convenient chairs and desks. The
lady clerks, who are of various age3, from
eighten to thirty, se-un to enjoy ex
cellent health and spirits, and are
unanimous in agreeing that regular
employment, if moderate, is peculiarly
Salutary. They axe exclusively ladies,
strictly so * called, the daughters
if professional men. They arrive from
their various homes at Ludgate Hill, at
10 A. M., stop work for an hour at 1
o’clock, and leave the office at 5 p. m.
Several holidays in the year are allowed.
The work is ctoefly a simple kind of
copying, requiring only careful attention,
good handwriting, and intelligence to de
cipher names of persons and places—-the
"Welsh one especially affording a limitless
field for conjecture. The salary of these
ladies is small, beginning (inclusive of
certain fees) at J632 per «mum, and being
raised JS10 each year up to £60. It would
appear, however, that there are abundance
of candidates to he found for each chair ;
and of course, as the work is as well done
as by male clerks, the advantage to the
company must he very great indeed. It
should be added that all directions for
the work pass through the hands of a
lady superintendent.
Every now and then some old comrade
of the camp and field turns up on us
quite unexpectedly, whose once familiar
features and voice have been missing
iipce the late unpleasantness and. dis-
bandmei2 t °* Confederate armies. In
their civilian cv7 tuinf ’ sometimes one does
j^pt recognize them sv ^ rs * > s ‘Sht, until
the ldmitiar tones of their foice* 2 iel P to
refresh the memory, and then there is the
usual handshaking and interchange of
reminiscences. One of these dropped in
on us yesterday, to renew in person a sub
scription wMch he had been in the habit
of ordering by mail. The last time we
saw W was m Camp Chase as a fel
low prisoner. A fighter of truer grit it
was never in. our experience to know, and,
added to physical pluck, abundantly
tested in many a “hot place” during the
war, he was possessed of a moral courage
of the Mghest order. A little incident in
W.’s military career, revived in our mind
by the sij*ht of his honest old phiz and
vice-like grip of his horny hand, is worth
relating. There were a lot of us herded
together in a box car, en route for
the military prison in Ohio, having been
surprised and captured on a cavalry raid
by a superior force. While the train was
in motion, W. said to one of hU comrades,
“You jump from the train and run, and
I’ll hold the nigger’s gun so he can’t
shoot.” The guard was one of the "col
ored troops.” The ex-reb jumped as he
was bid, lit on his feet and struck for the
woods. The colored guard instantly
raised his gun, hut W. grasped it from
behind, pinioning the guard’s arms until
his comrade was out of range, and fell
back so quickly among the other prison
ers as not to be identified. When the
train stopped at its destination the guard
of- course reported the occurrence to his
officer, who ordered the prisoners in tine,
and told the darky to pick out the offend
er. The' darky made the best guess he
could, and selected the wrong, .man—a
Confederate named Wright. The Fede
ral officer ordered Wright 'o bo balled
and chained. Just as they were about to
apply the' ball and chain to Wright our
friend W. spoke up. “Look here, fellows,”
he said, “I can’t stand that; I held the
nigger, I’m going to own up to it.” Ac
cordingly he stepped to the front and
told the officer he was about to punish
the wrong man—that the negro couldn’t
possihly tell who it was—hut he was not
going to see another man suffer for that
for which he alone was responsible. The
officer looked steadily into W.’s face a
moment, and the sense of nobility in bis
own nature intuitively recognized that in
the character of Ms prisoner, and his ad
miration for the act spoke in the peculiar
look out of hia eyes, as he surveyed the
countenance of this eccentric rebel. He
was not going to be outdone in manliness,
and he instantly ordered the ball and
chain.to be removed, and permitted both
W. and Ms friend to go unmolested along
with the other prisoners—preferring to
risk a court-martial to the loss of the
respect of so gallant an enemy.
The Flanigan Pavement—How
it is Laid,
The work of laying the Fianlgan pave
ment on Main street, from Thirteenth to
Fifteenth street, will comence this morn
ing nnder the superintendence of Mr.
Robert Skene. As probably but few of
our readers are familiar with the manner
of laying tho Flanigan pavement, we give
the process as explained by Mr. Skene :
First, the street is graded to tbe desired
depth, and the I0030 earth which forms
the surface is closely packed down by
means of a huge stone roller weighing
nine and a half tons, the roller being
hauled repeatedly over the ground until it
is made almost as firm as a rock. The os-
phaitum having been cookedin large caul
drons until it becomes a pliable and glu
tinous substance, is emptied from the
barrels into which it wa3 poured again
into the cauldrons and melted till it is
capable of beingpoured out just the same
as the coal tar used in the Nicolson pave
ment, and in appearance is just the same.
Each cauldron or given quantity of as-
phaltum is mixed with a certain per
centage of fine gravel and sand, which is
first run through a machine called a heat
er, at the rear of wMch is a mixing ma
chine, which is a receptacle for the hot
sand and gravel and asphaltum at the
same time. This machine being filled
is set in motion, and, by means of a se
ries of rows of long iron teeth attached
to a shaft wMch revolves in tbe centre
of the trough-like iron tank, the hot
asphaltum and fine gravel are mixed into
a solid composition. In this conditien it
is borne away in tanks suited for tbe pur
pose and deposited on the street in a
layer of two inches in tiiicknes3. Upon
thi3 layer of composition are laid the
Flanigan blocks, which are round blocks
sawed from cedar posts, measuring five
inches in their vertical position and of
different sizes, mostly, however, about
six inches in diameter. After the blocks
are laid close together, the interstices are
filled with large gravel, and npon the
blocks and gravel is poured a sufficient
quantity of asphaltum to form a substan
tial coating, and upon the surface of this
coating is thrown a layer of fine gravel
and sand, which beats down into the
asphaltum and the whole composition be
comes almost as solid as a rock, yet re
taining a degree of elasticity that pre
vents it from breaking. The composition
is impervious to the usual causes of wear
and tear, and only time, with much use,
can make an impression upon it. The
asphaltum used by Mr. Skene comes from
the great asphaltum region, twenty or
tMrty miles from Havana in Cubs.
Tom Scott and His Texas Railroad
Construction Company.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune telegraphs under date
of the 10th, that the prevailing subject of
discussion amongst the political operators
is Tom Scott, his Texas railroad, and its
Construction Company. Edward Pierre-
pont, of New York, is quoted to-day as
having expressed the opinion by letter
that the whole Pennsylvania fabric is in a
nervous condition. Scott’s friends regard
bis letter tendering bis resignation as an
admission that Ms affairs are insecure;
and, as he is looked upon as the only
vigorous intellect in the Pennsylvania
Company, Ms withdrawal, it is relieved,
would be a fatal blow to it3 credit. The
growing age and the relative mental fee
bleness of Pr-sident Thompson also are
canvassed.
It is said that B. F. Butler had $200,-
000 in the Construction Company, and
that Clinton Wneeler, John A. C. Grey,
and a large number of Southern and car-
pet-bag politicians have also been bitten.
The condition of the Texas Pacific
Company appears to bo no better than its
parasite, as was shown in an advertise
ment in the newspapers last Saturday,
wMch called in twenty per cent, moro on
the capital subscription. John W. For-
ney, who on a former occasion made a
good thing by releasing Ms interest in
the Baltimore and Potomac charter to
Scott, has lost it on this turn. The ap
pear nces were that no more, than sev
enty-five per cent, would be called in by'
tbe Construction Company, and that fifty
per cent, would probably be the limit.
Iustead of this, the full subscription has
been called in, and there are no dividends
of either bonds or money. The little
operators now charge that the big ones
set np a job on them, and point to Scott’s
o vn subscription as too small to show
that he had any belief in the health of
the s theme.
There is less freight and passenger
travel at present than has been known
for thirteen years, and how to pay the
accruing dividends on the leased roads
is a subject of cavil amongst the Penn
sylvania roads. It is now doubted wheth
er the late reported loan of millions to
tbe company has come to band.
An Illinois sportsman bragged of kill
ing eleven quail at one shot the other
day. But he hung Ms diminished head
when he heard of the Kansas hunter who
clipped the heads off sixteen pigeons with
one rifle-ball while they were sitting on
a fence rail.;
The Conductor and Engineer of the
ErelghtTralnTried and Acquitted.
All the readers of the Tsls8RA?h and
Messevqkr, doubtless, have a painful re-
collectionof the late collision on the South
western railroad, which cost two men
their lives and seriously injured three
others. It has been generally understood
.he blame for this calamity, to a
considerable extent, rested upon the con
ductor and engineer who were running
the freight train.
At the instance of the authorities of
the road, Conductor Matthews and En
gineer Frazer were arrested on the
charge of manslaughter, and they had
their preliminary examination yesterday
in the County Court room, before Justices
Coxe, Heath and Adams. The prosecu
tion was conducted by Messrs. Lyon &
Irvin and the accused were defended by
Cols. Poe, Hall and Wooten. A good
deal of testimony was beard and the case
Was ably argued by counsel on both sides.
At the conclusion of the argument the
charge against both of them was dis
missed.
JUDGMENT DAT.
Judge Hill’s Kecrults for Grant, Al
exander & Co.
Judge Hill, of the Bibb County Supe
rior Court, passed sentence yesterday
morning upon the prisoners convicted of
various offences, before Mm during the
week. The following were sentenced:
George Hathoru. who plead guilty of
larceny from the house, of goods valued
at over fifty dollars, was sentenced to ten
years in the. penitentiary—the extreme
limit of the law.
Austin Dupree, found guilty of burglary
at nigbt, was sentenced to fifteen years
in the penitentiary. Twenty years was
the limit of the .law. Hia counsel, Geo.
W. Gustin, Esq., notified Judge Hill that
he would make a motion for a new trial
in this case.
Thomas Franklin plead guilty of sim
ple larceny. He was charged with bur
glary in the nigbt. He was sentenced to
twelve months in tbe chain gang
Peter King, convicted of assault with
intent to commit rape upon a little necro
girl four years old, was sentenced to ten
years in tbe penitentiary.
Thad Allen plead guilty of larceny
from the house of goods worth over $50,
and was. sentenced to five years in t'ng
',£n,i.cntiary.
All the above convicts are colored.
The Pike case is set down for to-mor
row, and will probably be commenced.
It will occupy several days. The Don-
.Levy trial will follow as speedily as
possible. !<• •-• •
There is quite a number of other pris
oners in jail, whoso cases will probably
be disposed of before the court lear.es the
criminal docket. •
CLAFLlN’S UNPRECEDENTED SALE
A Crush of ttuyers In the Great Fifth
Ward Warehouse—Messrs. Stewart
and Peake, Opdyckc K Co, Follow
ing a Brilliant Example*
The New York Sun of the 12th says
the first day of H. B. Claflin & Co.’s great
sale attracted a throng of purchasers to
the great store, wMch extends from
Church stret to West Broadway, in which
one looked in vain for evidences of panic
and commercial distrust. From early
morning until darkness suspended busi
ness country merchants and city mer
chants filled the avenues between the
vast piles of opened goods, so that sales
men could scarcely move around, and a
movement to make way for porters with
their trucks occasioned a movement along
the whole line. If any doubt existed of
the wisdom of the plan of realizing upon
goods on hand, it was settled by a glance
at the tremendous business that was done.
Those who went there intended to buy,
and knew the value of what was offered.
The only bickering arose from the asser
tion of prior claims to be waited on. A
salesman secured, one glance at the
goods was followed by speedy decision
upon tbe quantity desired, and tbe bal
ance of tbe work fell to tbe parties who
packed tbe orders.
Throughout tbe day one door of entry
to tbe packing room was never empty of
a loaded truck, nor that of exit of a truck
newly discharged. Men who had hereto
fore bought goods by pieces found the
cash to order cases. Retailers, too insig
nificant Mtherto to obtain goods at stores
where jobbers bought, purchased bill3
that will stock them for a season. Com
mission houses, too, took advantage of
the low prices to obtain stocks that were
cheap enough to promise profit by auc
tion. The necessity for realization has
struck a fatal blow to accepted theories
about the cause of business stagnation.
It has shown conclusively that apprehen
sion of disaster and not disaster itself has
destroyed two months of the usual fall
business. Because banks in the cities
suspended, and some of their country de
positors failed with them, country mer
chants were afraid to put their cash into
trade. Now they are eager to invest at
the reduced prices, paying cash,-thereby
making an additional profit.
The best lines of domestic goods and
prints sold yesterday at lower prices t! an
at any previous time since 1861. Such
gpods are marked down from ten to fif
teen per cent. Imported goods are also
reduced from five to ten per cent. It was
an experiment with Claflin & Co. Their
monthly average of last year was only a
million less than they hope to dispose of
within the next tMrty days. Croakers
predicted dis'ister if it succeeded because
of its demoralizing effect upon the trade
generally, and it was by no means a fore
gone conclusion that money could be
found to purchase the stock. The initial
.day of the experiment has opened a fall
trade of unexampled magnitude, and
there is every promise that it will put
$5,000,000 greenbracks more in circula
tion within the month. At all events,
enough, goods were sold for cash to keep
the porters packing and sMpping for sev
eral days, and many merchants carried
their packages away on their shoulders.
A. T. Stewart & Co. are inclined to meet
the reduced prices of Claflin & Co. At
their retail store goods were sold over the
counter at the same prices that Claflin
marked them at. The wholesale store,
too, was filled with buyers. Peake, Op-
dvke & Co. also trod the new made track,
and the example will have to be followed
by all the other considerable houses that
hope to clear their shelves this fall. As
the case stands it opeu3 the speediest and
safest solution of the money trouble. The
m*ney realized will go to pay the manu
facturers, many of whom are discharg
ing their hands for want of funds. They
will be enabled to resume and thus avert
tbe threatened distress of the working
classes.
.8 The Striking Miners.—The Knox
ville Press and Herald of the 12th says
the miners of the McEven and Black
Diamond coal mines, at Coal crpek, are
still unappeased, and no work is being
done in either of those mines. It was
reported, yesterday, that the day hands
of the Knoxville Iron Company's mines
at Coal creek, had struck against an or
der reducing' wages, though no embar
rassment of the company’s extensive work
was anticipated. The Careyville miners
are all quiet and work progressing with
vigor.
Appeal from Bainbridge.
Mayor Huff received the following dis
patch late Saturday evening, and hqd
time only to raise and forward a little
money (one hundred and fifty dollars).
He will resume the matter Monday morn
ing. Meanwhile we take occasion to pre
sent the case ^ our fellow-citizens, and
implore them to do what they can for
these distressed people. True, times are
hard, but we in Macon, by the goodness
of God, have been spared these horrible
calamities. Let us show our gratitude,
by straining a point in behalf of our
afflicted friends in Bainbridge. • To-mor
row let us try to do what we can for Bain
bridge. *
Albany, Ga., November 15.
To the Mayor of Macon:
The following dispatch has just been
received from Bainbridge:
“Ourmoney is exhausted in paying
nurses—not a dollar in tbe treasury.
Contributions will be gladly received—
either money or provisions. Destitut on
reigns supreme.”
Albany is moving vigorously for tbe
assistance of Bainbridge, and will send
contributions by a special car on Tues
day evening next. Your city is requested
to help. Consign to R. J. Bacon here at
once, or to D. J. G. McNair, acting Mayor
of Bainbridge.
The Ar:on Club here has the matter in
charge, and will give a concert Tuesday
night next. The railroads transport free.
The necessity is pressing.

Tonnage Increase.
A report from the Treasury Depart
ment shows an increase of foreign •ton
nage during the year of 19,493 tons, and
of domestic of 233,638. The amount of
tonnage built during tbe year exceeds
that of any year since 1865. This is at
tributable to tbe unusually great losses
at sea, and the fact, that owing to the
advance in prices of labor and material
abroad, tbe cost of American-built sMps
is now but slightly greater' than that of
the best British. During the year,
twenty-six iron steam vessels were built,
Of wMch three were ocean steamers of
the largest class built for foreign trade.
These were built on tbe Delaware, and
are the latest ^Philadelphia improve
ments. They are good, staunch sMps,
and so long as they increase our ocean
marine, it matters little where they are
constructed.
The Cuban Loyalists,
Arraigning the bloolthirsty course of
the Cuban loyalists, the Baltimore Ga
zette sa.73;
The fwo last mentioned acts of sav
agery Here perpetrated after telegrams
had been sent from Spain, and received
in Cuba by the Captain-General, ordering
peremptorily a stay of proceedings.
They were done in defiance of Spanish
authority and at the instigation of the
bloodthirsty Spanish volunteers, who
profess to be loyalists, but who only yield
obedience to the home government when
it suits their purposes, and whose atroci
ties neither the Captain-General at Ha
vana nor the commanders in the field
have the power to suppress—still less to
punish. They have conducted tho war
like savages; they have put to death in
nocent Cabans, as in the ease of the stu
dents at Havana—falsely accused of mu
tilating a tomb. They have shot every
Cuban prisoner of note that fell into-
their hands. They have hunted, ha
rassed and imprisoned the peaceful rela
tives of the insurgents, sparing neither
age nor sex, and have confiscated, often
on the shallowest of pretexts, property
valued at many millions of dollars. So
long as these sanguinary excesses were .
committed witMn ■ he island, and the na
tive Cubans were the only victims, other
governments, though shocked at the in
human way in wMch the war was con
ducted, felt bound to refrain from active
interference. Now tbe exse is different.
If the capture of tbe Virginius took place
in Cuban waters that fact might be urged
as an excuse for the passionate killing of
the captives. But after orders for a stay
of proceedings were received from the
home government, the ’ men who killed
them in defiance of those orders were
as much insurgents as the men whom
they shot, and should be dealt with
accordingly. Tho plea that Spain
cannot control these volunteers, and
the-efore ought not to be held answera
ble for their acts, has no validity what
ever. If she claims possession of the
island, and recognizes these men as in her
service, it is her duty to control them.
Otherwise her claim is a sham, and enti
tled to no respect. Her failure to do
what it is incumbent on her, even to the
limited extent of protecting American
citizens from immediate death, and hold
ing them for trial for the offenses of
which they may chance to be accused,
justifies the United States in taking in
stant action in the matter. What that
action ought to be cannot properly be
discussed until the circumstances sur
rounding this bloody affair are better
known. That it should bo such as will
vindicate tho honor and dignity of the
country, and put a stop to similar acts of
slaughter* in the future, every one wil}.
acknowledge. .. .

Leesburg:
Leesburg, Lee Co., Nov. 13, 1873.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : This
place, the new county site of Lee county
but recently a village, is fast assuming
the dignity of a town, notwithstanding
the “panicky” times. The new Court
house, being built of brick, promises to
be a fine structure and an ornament to
this part of the country. ‘ We are inform
ed that it is to cost in toe neighborhood
of fourteen thousand dollars. A splendid
jail is nearly completed and the murder
ers of toe unfortunate youth, William
Johnson, who was so brutally murdered
at Smithville some months since, are the
first prisoners to grace its first completed
cell. We note further that several new
dwellings have been recently erected.
Judge Strozier is presiding over tbe
Superior Court here in place of Judge
Clark who, we regret to state, is lying
sick at his home in Americus. A consid
erable amount of business is before toe
court, too much to be gotten through
within one week and an adjourned term
will probably be held in January to com
plete it.
