The London Times Of the 9th has an
article on the. executions at Havana,
predicated upon the false allegations
that the bodies OF the victims were man
gled by the populace, and written in a
tone complimentary neither to Spain
nor TO the invaders, nor 10 the Govern
ment of this country. The mode Of ex-
ccu.ion is denounced as being retained
only by Spain and Turkey; the inya-
dcrs are declared to be as clearly guilty
of piracy as any ielon who ever swung
in chains on coast or headland,' and il
is insinuatcd that the United States Gov
ernment is 40 weak that il must give
way before the excitement Of a people,
who will be exasperated becausc some
of these pirates have been executed.
The Times might have saved its thun-
der. This Government is not the ira
ollie machinery IL supposes, and in. per
forming ITS duty will have the cbr-
dial suppo I of nine-tcnths of the peo.
pie. Indeed the illegal, piratical, unpro-
vokcd attack upon Cuba has evoked a
general feeling, which indicates that thc
American people are sounder in their
morals than the levialhan Times itself.
In its city article the Times OF the
9th inst, holds the following language

land In other respect no feeling wss
awakened, the parties on each side be-
ing equally unprincipled. With regard
to the probable course or the American
Government the decided and unanipsus
tope OF all the most respecinbie New
York journals warrants the belief that
there will be no concession TO the cla-
NOR raised IN consequence OF the recent
events. Several letters have been re-
ceived by English hous,s from their
correspondents at Havana, which tend
to confirm the impression that the fatal
affair would be entirely ended W the

DrArB OF JAMES FsNIMoRE CooPER.

W JAmLb SoOFb"
This gentleman died on Sunday after
noon, at his residence in Cooperstown.
His health had gradually declined since
June. He was sixty two years old with
in day, and was a native of Burling-
ton, N. J. He was midshipman from
1905 to 1910, when he commenced in
earnest his literary career. His pecu-
liar sensitiveness, while living, on the
score Of his literary reputation silences
criticism nov that he is dead. In pri-
vate character and in his domestic and
and social relations, we believe Mr..
Cooper was deservedly esteemed, and
his name will always be associated with
American literature. The Information
nj Magazine for April last contains a
very full account of his life and writings.
The publishers OF that magazine, MesSrs
Stringer & Townsend, own the copy
rights OF all Mr.. Cooper's works.
Since we wrote the above brief an
nouncemen, our eye has caught the fol-
lowing, from the Office of the Coopers-
town Republic, dated September II, p.
Nj.
James Fenimore Cooper brcnthed
his last at one o'clock to day. He sx-
pired free from pain, and his last mo-
ments were cheerful and happy. He
had been confined about one week. Mr..
Cooper became member Of the Epis-
copal church in this village early last
Spring, and was constant in his atten-
dance and at the communion, until bodi-
ly weakness confined him to his house.
During his sickness he evinced the ut
NEST patience, submission and composure
of mind. He has been visited daily
most oi this time by his pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Batten, who spent several hours
each day at his bedside in prayer and
conversation with him. He was entire
ly prepared for the event. 4 Had Mr.
Cooper lived until tomorrow he would
have beon az yaars Of age. In his
death a great man has fallen. The vii
lage has lost one of its mos, worthy and
benevolent citizens, and the Episcopal
Church liberal and strong supporter.
II is understood that tho funeral will
take place on Thursday next

Mr.. EDIToR -

ofproceeding in the early part Of the

an hour in Fall River, and parading
through some Of the principal streets.

been prepared in true primitive style, at

credit.

q, President Fillmore, attended by
his party, and number of gentlemen
OF this town, dined at the Bellevue
House, Tuesday afternoon. at O'Clock;
blessing was asked by the Rev. DR..
Choules. We never saw a more splen-
did table than Hazard spread for the oc-
;"',sion; it was well supplied with every
thing that was choice and tempting
When the President left the Hall, after
dinner, all present arose; after this, the
Hon. George G. King proposed the
health Of his Excelency the President
OF the United States, which was drank,
standing, with three hearty cheers.
The Ball in the evening, at the Bel
lcvue, was attended bya large number
of ladies and gentlemen. The President
honered the assernblage with his pres
cnce for about an hour ani half, and
was introduced TO number of those
present. The music by the U. S. Band
from Fort Adams was excellent, and
shc dancing was continued until u late
hour. A number Of the officers from
Fort Adams were present, in iull uni
orm.
Among the arrivals u, the Bellevue

noticed Hon. George Lunt, U. S. Dis.

The President and suite left here yes
tcrduy morning, at 7 o'clock, in the

where they were TO take a special train
, Tor Boston. The President will leave
Boston for Washington tomorrow even
ing, hy this route Mrs Fillmore will
meet him at the boat and return home
with him As he comes down tomor.

good plan to send up some rockets from
the Long Wharf, and also to give him
hearty cheering.

cordial manner which tes,ifes strong ly

lari,y ar the Chief Magistrate Of this
powerful nation. BY this visit, thou
sands have had an opportunity TO see
and shake hands with the President, who
beiofe knew nothing Of him personally !;
and had formed their opinions OF him
entirely from what they had heard
through Others, or what they had read
in the newspapers Of the day. We be-
lieve that all have been pleased with
the appearance Of the man, and, cer-
tainly, all who have been favored with
an introduction to him, have found him
most unassuming, practical and sound
man. He is entirely at his ease, and
the even temper Of his character is new
er disturbed on any occasion All his
extempcre speeches are admirably adap-
ted to the occasions when made, and are
conceived and delivered in tie most ie-
licitous manner. How striking the con-
tract between the President Of tho Uni
ted States moving promiscuously
around among the people, without any
body guard or gorgeous display Of mil

ernments are afraid TO move among

guarded by a large military power, for
fear Of assassination. But here, the
President moves all about among the
people, wherever he has fancy to go,
and he is everywhere received with the
warmest congratulations and tokens Of
respect and attachment By the people.

srnments, and the mea who rule the

DsATH OF Mas. CRITTsxpEK.--Ths
telegrnphic report Of the death oi Mrs.
Crittenden, wife of the Hon. }. J. Crit
tenden, is confirmed. The Frankfort
Commonwealth OF Sept. 8 says:
We announce with sorrow the death
Of Mrs. Criuenden, wife Of Hon. John J.
Crittenden. She expired a, hall past
ten o'clock yesterday morning, (Ssptem-
Der S. after an illness Of nine days.
This news will strike sorrow to many
hearts, for the accomplished deceased
was known and loved, not only by kim
died and neighbors, but by thousands
who have met her at Washington anc
elsewhere among the best and most dis
hnguished spirits Of the republic.
"Our strongest sympathies are with
the bereaved husband and family. In
few days We hope 10 present, from some
abler and more familiar pen than ours u
fitting tribute to the many and brilliant
excellencies Of her character"
The Republic adds to the above the
following remarks:
The distinguished man whose hearth
has been desoated by this sad occur
renee has had his cup full of sorrows Of
late; but even this last and bitterest
draught may be swectened by the re-
fection that the memsry Of her whom
he has lost will be embalmed in the re-
collection Of thousands who were famil-
lar with her virtues, and that she has
gone TO the bosom OF that God whom
there is every reason TO believe she
worshipped in spirit Of fcrvor and
truth. We indulge in a hope similar to
that expressed by the journal we have
quoted.
