of an oppressed people. ore entitled not
TO the censure. but TO sympathy Of all.
1t was not their fault that the Cubans
spurned independence. nor that this
base deception was practised upon them.
An exchange thus speaks of an interview
had by Capt. Plat. with tie prisoners
at Havana:
The poor fellows seem to have been
entirely broken down hy the disasters
which had befallen then and mentally,
at least, were still in very shattered
state. They apparently had taken little
note of time or circumstances since they
landed on the Island. All the account
they can give of themselves is that they
had fought FIVE ba,tles-at what times
and what results, they were unable to
say; that they found the country hostile
10 them instead Of friendly, and that up
on this they separated into small parties,
threw away their arms. and came in
What a sorry conclusions What la
meniable catastrophe! And yet these

the faintest hopes or wishes for freedom
how different story would there ha re
been 10 be told But they were deceived
wholly, utterly, entirely deceived-by
whom we know not as yet; but so de
ceived that where they looked to be hail
ed as liberators and heroes they were
stunned with horror and avoided with
disgust. 1t was this that struck terror
to those hearts which neither the ad
vance of hostile ba tialions, the ball, the
bayonet, nor the certainty of cruel and
ignominous death, could move. They
had committed d mistake--a fatal error
and that before the eyes of the world :.
They were placed in a morally false po-
sition: they were made TO appear what
their enemies represented them TO be-in
the wrong. This they could not endure
their high sense Of honor would not
permit them to wage war upon false pre-
fences. Had they been freebooters. pi-
rates, buccaneers. they would have
fought and plundered on; they might
have held out in the fastness of the
mountains forever. But they were he
roes and patriots; and when they found
the mselves un"ittingly betrayed into "a
position which. they could not hold or
retreat from with honor. they threw
away their arms, and submitted without
a murmur TO their fate.

THE YACHT AMERICA.


The Yacht America, a schooner Of 10
tons. commanded by J. G. Stevens, Esq f,
has created great sensation in England,
In various trials of speed she has proved
to be swifter than any boat that has been
brought TO race with her. John Bull is
completely non. plussed. That Yankee
schooner should come over and beat his
swiftest vessels is rather more than he
likes 10 endure. 1t is bad enough to be
beaten in the great ocean race by Collins
mammoth steamers, but to be beaten on
his own racing ground By an outlandish
steamer from America is 10 much for
him. He has expressed strong suspicion
OF foul play, that there must be some Sc
cret machinery in the vessel; but as he
cannot find any such motive power, he
has fairly given up beat, as far as the race
has been tried. But not willing to yield
the ground entirely. he is fitting up yes
sci In his best style for another and we
presume final trial. This proves the
superiority of American shipbuilding.
Our steamers are now acknowledged to
be better sailers than English steamers.
Their trips are performed in better time.
Notwithstanding the alledged superiority
Of English machinery.
P. S. Since the above was written news
has arrived thst the last great race has
been run. and the America has come off

THE INDIANS IN New MExIco.-Allow
me to call the attention of the powers
that be- 10 the utter want of protection
10 the inhabitants of this Territory from
Indian depredations.
Indian depredations have become so
frequent that there is now no dependence
in the troops whatever. To whom the
blame is 20 be attached, l cannot say.
On the night of the I'd ult. band of
Indians attacked the camp Of Nesbit and
Parker, and Hay, contractors, and run off
seventy-nine mules and six splendid hors-
es. There was one man wounded. There
were only eight Americans in the camp.
who were compelled to take a house ad-
joining. There one party Of the Indians
besieged them, while the other party
broke down their wall and run off the
mules. Colonel Brooks company was
near at the time, but rendered no assist
ance.
Another attack was made on the camp
of Ardinger and Ormesby, near Cebolleta.
The Indians killed three men and wound
ed nine, and burned all the wagons. Sew
eral outrages have been committed
throughout the country, and no later than
last night an express was received bring
ing the informa ton that the Indians had
run off about 40 mules from the camp of
Mr. R. Nesbit This is the second at
tack made on this gentleman's property,
at a loss to him Of 81 600.

country should be filled with agents Off

expense to the country, and yet our peo-

disparity OF force he fought against in
