ARM1SG THE STEAMERs.-TheNcw York
Sun of Wednesday says: aWe learn that
the United States mail steamer Cherokee,
which left this port on Tuesday afternoon
for Chagrcs via Havana, went well armed,
having on board ten fine guns, six Of which
are to be placed OH board the steamer Falcon.
We learn that the commanders of these ves-s
sells have instructions to resist promptly, for
the future, any insult or indignity that may
be offered them by any Of the Spanish ves-
sells of war. This is The right spirit ut will
meet the hearty approval of the whole Amer
lean people. The commanders of the yes
sells named are brave and experienced naval
officers, and if they come in contactwith any
of the Spanish hirelings they will give n good
account of themselves We should not be
surprised to hear Of a brnsl, between one of
our steamers and the old Caledonia, or Ha-
bancro, before long"

They stood up, faced their execuiioncrs, were
shot down. and their brains then knocked
out by clubbed mHskrts. The blood, rms
cold before the terrible narrative Of their
barbaTous fate, land we seem rather to re-
cord the inlluman vengeance of savagcs than
the stern Justice of civilized man."
