LETTER FROM MR.. THRAsHER.

In PR1soN, HAVANA, Nov. IA, 1851.
To the Editor Of The New York Daily Times:
SlR: In consequence of the thousand false reports
that circulated in regard TO myself would request
you to deny explicitly that there have been found
among my papers any letters or documents that com
myself, if am allowed the advantage of defence.
refrain from further remark pending my trial.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
]. S. THRAsHER.
We received the foregoing letter yesterday. 1t
shows that on the 14th inst. Mr.. Thrasher had not
been garoled which, considering the habits of the
thorities in Cuba, is a little singular. 1t shows,
moreover, that he had not then been tried. The
Georgia. which arrived last Tuesday night, left Ha-
vana on the 18th, and brought that he had been
tried convicted, and sent to fortress the Of
Morocco for eigM years. confinement. Another ac-
count saws that his trial lasted hour and half; -
that he himself not aoaOed to be present that
two of the Court (Which consisted Of three voted to
garotte him, and that the Captain General, having two
votes, with the third member of the Court, changed
the sentence to oflong Imprisonment. How much
of this is true, have not yet means of knowing.
We hope, however, that The Republic will soon
publish some authentic information" in regard to
the case. The Government must know something
about it. even if Mr.. Thrasher himself has not pre-
sented what may be deemed "proper representations
to warrant any interference on his behalf Something
must certainly be known at Washington concerning
so important matter; one too, which cannot fail to
be presented for the consideration and action of the
Government. The public anxiety which exists, in
regard to the of Mr. Thrasher would justify such
departure from official etiquette might suffice 10
indicate ais fate and the manner Of his trial. The

if the road were in proper condition. The duty of
the Legislature, therefore. is plain. 1t must either
sell the work. or appropriate ample fund.- to put it
in complete repair.
The tables referred to, also indicate he wonderful
advantage enjoyed by the road from the fact that it is
loca,sd in densely populated country. This is
shown by The great disparity between the way and
through travel" which it enjoys, viz:

Total, Passengers, 43,139 54,243
1t will be seen, that while the number OF way pas
sengers has increased $685. the number of through
passengers has increased only l,45l. This was also
the case, extent during the last year in regard
to freghts, appears from the following statement:

The total receipts from all sources in l849-'50,

immense. By of the tables, it appears that the

THE CHRISTIANA TRAITORS.

The trial of the Christana traitors, persons
gagged in tbs outrage in which Mr.. Gorsuch of Mary
land lost his life, commenced at Philadelphia, the
24th instant, before Judge Grer of the United States
Circuit Court.
An extraordinary deafness appears. all at once, to
have befaen the Jurors summoned to try these trail
tors. Shortly after the Court opened, number,
some twenty OF thirty-ofthe Jurors came forward
to beg to be excused from serving and the excuse
rendered, in nine cases out Of ten, was Deafness
Some had urgent business to attend to, which would
suffer without their personal presence-others had
vertigo-others were too old-but the burden Of the
complaints deafness. Judge Grier at length saw
through it, and said, it if the whole coun-
try is becoming deaf-an epidemic, l am afraid, is
prevailing
About 80 Jurors. however, appeared, and Jury
was to be empanelled the 25th, and the cases
opened.
Judge Grier seems disposed to do his duty, and
able lawyers have been employed on behalf Of the
United States and the State of Maryland; but more
contemplate sneaking and swearing out of response
bty by members of Jury, we kave never heard
nor read Of before. Why could not these Jurors come
out like men, and say at once that they believed the
fugitive law unjust and unconstitutional, and that,
therefore, they could not do justice in the premises
But no-they must sneak out Of the difficulty, and
throw the responsibility of vndicatng tue Consttu-
ton of the United States other mems shoulders
This, it must be confessed, is an unfortunate be-
ginning. Some of these traitors may be convicted
and punished, but we have our doubts on the sub
ject. deaf Jury is dangerous machine to deal
with. Those who are 10 try are, we are assured, in
possession of two ears each, and hear very well
but it is to be feared that the "epidemic will have
it's effect on them also.
