from Cuba have I'd the most intense excite
ment, denoting the natural effect upon that i'm
puIsive aud ardent people OF the cold-blooded
execution of Americans at Havana. Instead OF
striking terror into the hearts OF "sympaihisers'
here AS the Spanish authorities, doubtless, igno
rantIy supposed would be the case, il has, OF
course, only reused TO the highest pitch that
spirit of Indignation which is likely TO lead "a
the earliest and most determined measures foI
vengeance The feeling and movement at the
South seem to point that way.
The Savannah (Goo.) News, speaking Of the
receipt of the late news there on Thursday last
says
The news was read out from our Office door
and produced the most intense excitement The
regrets for the fate of young Crttenden, Kerr
and their gallant comrades were heartfelt, but
all regarded as an earnest of the success OF the
Cuban cause.
There was before no lack of sympathy or en-
thusissm in the cause of the patriots, but the
Spanish barbarity displayed in the murder Of
their patriot pursurers, If true, as stated in our
DESPATCH will rouse a spirit in this country
which will not rest until it has swept every
vestige of Spanish tyranny from the beautiful
island, whose soil il has SO long polluted.

strangers and residents, In every way possible.
Il is with great difficulty and delay that Ameri-

# the vindictive feeling that prevails among
