Dear Pic:--We left Vera Cruz for this place
on the oath ult, four days since. We are now
encamped in this beautiful village. The distance
is only one hundred and twenty miles, and the
Alabama performed it in one day. All the in.
habi.Ants turned out to welcome us, giving us
three cheers rs we came in, which we returned
in due form. Our arrival had been previously
announced by the firing OF cannon As the Ala.
bana made the wharf she was haied by three
Americans, who came down the hill waving the
American stars and stripes. The cheering all
around was hearty, and was joined in as warmly
by the Mexicans as by our people. An English
bark was also in the harbor, and the crew gave
US three cheers. The Americans are Mr. Cook.
and the two Messrs. mes, of New Orleans
who had crossed the isihmus from San Francis.
co, pm Tehuantepec.
Just being restored, the Alabama was made
FAST and all hands went ashore and mingled
freely with the residents in the celebration OF
Christmas. At night fandango was given on
board the steamer, to the gentlemen and ladies
OF Mnalllan, at which ut least a hundred OF
each sex attended, and danced merriR till n late
hour. The next night the villagers returned the
compliment, and gave dance to the American
party. These courtesies brought us to speedy
acquaintance, especially N in these christmas
times the inhabitants here do nothing bnt amuse
thenHelves They are a remarkably cheerful
people, and Of a much higher order Of intelligence
than the ace we met on the Rio Grande during
the recent war There is probably more refine
ment in the village than in any other village OF
equal size in the Republic
The village of Minatilan is aituated on the
west side of the river CoatzacoaIcos. thirty four
miles above the mouth The site is n delight
ful one, being formed of a cluster of small hills
with the delightful springs of the parent water
'clear as crystal" gushing out Of their base. The
town is an old one, and the population has marks
OF the French attempt at settlement made years
ago.
The history Of the French attempt to colonize
the lsthmus Of Tehuantepec is not without in
tercst. Following the overthrow of Iturbde
and the establishment of republic in 1924, the
desperate condition Of the Mexican finances
made an appeal to some yet untried resource y
matter Of stern necessity. in view of this, and
rs MI inducenent for the recognition of the re-
public, the cession Of the right of way across
Tehnantepec was held up ms bait in the dipIo-
matte markets Of Europe. England had ut that
period turned her attention towards Darien. or
Panama. Negotiations were opened with France,
and In 1929 French company obtained the ex-
elusive right Of way across the Isthmus of Te-
hoantepec for a term of years. and n cession OF
all the lands within league of the western bank
OF the river Coazacoalcos.

visjon TO pay them. fear there are some who
believe that, by accnmulating these debts, they
will finally force upon the country the necessity
for adding to the tariff for increasing the duties
on imports, and who would te willing to incur
debt, II thai consequence should result from it.
But let NOT those gentlemen lay that hattering
junction to their souls. The people of this coun-
try have had taste Of free trade, or something
approaching to il, and they will not consent TO
any system of taxation by which, for every dol
lar they pay into the treasury they have to pay
four or FIVE dollars into the pockets Of some "pro
tected" individual. II we should be reduced to
the necessity Of raising additional revenue, the
present tariff will be searched and scrntinized 10
see whether more money cannot be raised. not by
an increase, but by reduction OF duties. be-
lieve in my soul that we could raise more revenue
by reducing the duties than by increasing them.
Let gentlemen ponder over these things before
they 60 too far in the course Of extravaganza
which we nre now pursuing. i speak now to
those who believe this debt is not strictly due, but
who think il is gratoity which this Government
may grant, which il ought TO grant, out of mag
nanmity and generosity. There are aome who
take that view; but would remind them that this
is not proper time for the exercise of tlat sorI
Of msgnanimity. The public treasury will not
bear il. MIR. Randolph said on one occasion that
he had found the true philosophers stone, the
true political alchymy-and it consisted in one
short maxim, "pay MS you CO." Relieve, if
there be any political aIchymy, il 10 to be found
in that maxim which carries with Il ancther--
that of spending no more than may be necessary
for the proper purpose Of government But are
we practsing upon that precept Are We making
any provision here for the payment OF the public
debt The public lands were pledged for the war
debt. The Secretary Of the Treasury tails u they
arc alisnatsd. and that we will get aothing from
them for that purpose FOR SOMETHING like 6tssn
yoaru.

The News of the Morning.

The capture and execution Of Lopez by
the Spanish authorities are fully confirmed
by our telegraph reports from Newt Orleans.
He was arrested on the 29th of August,
taken to Havana on the 3lst, and garoted
at : o'clock the next morning. last Monday,
the lst instant. The Government have l55
American prisoners in custody, who, it is
said, have been sentenced TO the punishment
of the Chain-sang for ten years. Thus ends
this iu-ludged attempt, on the part OF our
countrymen, at interference with the poll
teal affairs of foreign State. Deluded
by false representations, and taking counsel
of insane excitement rather than of common
sense, they have become the victims of
enthusiastic folly or of wild rapaclty. Let
their terrible fate serve as a lesson of wis
dom to the hot blood of young America.

Central America has long been divided
by two parties called Services and Liberals.
OF late years they have been frequently de-
nominated Conservatives and Radicals
Reactionists and Progressives. Late events
have much ch-uged the relations of these
parses, but their instincts are yet the same.
Thus in Nicaragua, in Ielatlon TO the dis
pute with England about She Mosquito
Shore and San Juan, the Conservatives ia
vored submission, but the Radicals resist
ance, or at any rate nOn-concession.
The Liberals. for some years, have been
in possession of power, and. aided by Gen
Munoz, an able and efficient officer. rescued
the State from the chaos which followed the
dissolution of the old Confederation Gen.
Munoz reduced the army from an insolent
mob into discipline and order, restrained
their excuses and made them subordinate

The Tragedy in Cuba.

lhere Is no longer dOuDl ulaJ Lopez i
utterly defeated and executed, and that his
brave, deluded followers have all persisted
or are now in chains. \ very few may be
still hiding in the mountains and forests, but
they must be few indeed, with desperate
chance of ever regaining their own country.
The discontinue Of the expedition Is COM
plete
That the number of the killed and the
prisoners is exaggerated by the Spanish
bulletins, we confidently believe. IL seems
certain that Lopez was not joined by any
considerable number of Cubans, and we
think his whole force could not have eX-
ceeded six hundred combatants. OF these,
probably one-half were dead and the resi-
due prisoners (manly wounded) at the date
of our last advices.
Would that we could hope that the lives
of these prisoners are to be spared
While Lopez was in arms on the island, and
his success not impossible, severity might
be palliated but the necessity has vanished
with the peril These misled, perhaps cul-
pable, but brave and unfortunate prisoners
have suffered all but death; surely this last
drop may be spared them. In the name of
Humanity. and even of wise Policy, we
would entreat the saving of their lives.
And vet we fear the worst. Probably
they have not been able TO hold prisoners,
if they took any; and if they were com
PEELED to execute them, however stern the
necessity, bloody retaliation is certain
The Spanards are not a mercltul race, and
the news of the disgraceful, barbarian out
RACES perpetrated on their Consul and other
Spanish subjects by the mscreant mob of
New Orleans, will have eXasperated them
to madness. 1t would be hard if our un-
happy countrymen deuded into this inyad-
ing expedition should be called to suffer for
that cOwardly outrage Yet so 1t may be-
- Surely. it must now be evident that
the Cuban Creoles do not desire lndepend-
ence enough to FIGHT for it and if not, why
should others risk their lives In the cause
If the Cubans who have been promising
to cooperate with Lopez had possessed one
spark of generous feeling, they would have
redeemed their promises, even IN the face
of cestain death. They had no right to
draw back when our confdng countrymen
had thrown their lives into the contest.
Every Patriot Cuban should at least
have mitigated the bitterness Of the
death-beds of these devoted men by dying
with them. If the invaders could have
felt that they had sacrificed themselves for
men worthy of the offering, they might
have closed their eyes serenely and JOY
fully. That consolation was denied them
Who will henceforth court their fate !
Let US have no more Annexations by
violence If Cuba belongs to US, (as we
think she does not,) she VIII come TO Us IN
good time. Peace hath her victories not
less renowned than War The growth of
our country Is abundantly rapid, and needs
no bloody rain 10 stimulate it, Let the ter
rlbie lesson Just taught our people be duly
weighed and needed.
