could not have met different death His remarks were
sensible. He threw himself upon the mercy OF God and
praying aloud when the drop fell Dennis made no
remark. They were attended by Mezicsn priest and
Interpreter This morning two Of the guerilla officers who
VIZ. taken prisoners by that ndeatigabls ofcer Col
Wy nktop tried by the military commission nov
IN mon found guilty and sentenced to b. shot They
were accused land confessed i Of having violated their
states, in the guerilla service They will be shot to-
morrow, at noon. Their names are Adjutsnt Antonio
Garcia, and Lieut.. Ambros,a Alcslde. They received
their sentence with considerable frmness Col Rebol
edo and the captain will be- to Perots and con-
fined until 1t be ascerained from headquarters whe
Their they were paroled and exchanged or not. They
are both fine looking men The colonel is noble look
lag man and the citizens and foreigners here he has
never been cruel Ia his warfare az ains u.s. Some OF
our people think differently.
EVENING. Gen. Patterson and Col Hughes have had
their hands full this afternoon Since the sentence Of
Garcia and Alcslde made public the above named
officers, particularly the general, have been sur
rounded by the population Of the town imporing Tor
the pardon OF the condemned men. Gen Landero, who
80 bravely commenced the defence of Vera Cruz has
been in well priests alcades cEens Of bsh stand
oaide, beautiful woman, with babe lees than month
old has been most eloquent In her appeals to the gene
them quite young and beautiful, came In and cried and
knelt and plorsd, but though they moved the heart OF
not change the fate Of the condemned 1t has been
peated nifty times to-day by the Mtxicaus In extenua
ton that in this country is not considered crime
to violate parole of honor given by prisoner Of
war This should be remembered in future by our
generals, and no more prisoners set at liberty
parole. Every effort has been made In behalf Of the
prisoners that could be thought Of The hint has
been thrown out, that II these men executed
no American officer will In future be taken alive
by the gusrillas. II my memory Alright
the gueras have not been distinguished for Acts Of
mercy In this respect When they took to the road
they hosted the black flag, and faithfully have they
respected this gloomy emblem Of death without mercy
That officers OF the regular Mexicsn army who had
been made prisoners OF war; and released their pa
role OF honor not to take against again dur
ing the should violate that sacred pledge and join
this murderous band, and then complain at 80 Just
sentence that passed upon these two Is astonishing
even in this nation Of liars. Gov Hughes, who con-
cans who were hung to day well the two Mexcsns
who will die Tomorrow and who approved the
In both performed his duty and nothing
less and Gen Patterson knows his duty too well to
crinee justice and the discipline OF his command feel
ng' OF compassion An express starts immediately for
Vera Cruzso excuse this unfinished epistle. I drop
you another note tomorrow.
