MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.

m Hss MOVEMENT OF TROOPS. 4'
In all the cities Of the South, and in that sec
ton Of country generally the late accounts
from Cuba have created the most intense excite
ment, denoting the natural effect upon that I'M
pulsve and ardent people Of the cold-blooded
execution of Americans at Havana Instead OF
striking terror into the hearts of "sympaihlsers'
here, as the Spanish authorities, doubtless, igno,
ranty supposed would be the case, i has, OF
course, only reused to the highest pitch that
spirit Of Indignation which is likely to lead 70
the earliest and most determined measures for
vengeance. The feeling and movement ut the
South seem to point that way.
The Savannah (Geo) News, speaking OF the
receipt of the late news there on Thursday last
says:
The news was read out from our Office door,
and produced the most intense excitement The
regrets for the fate of young Crittenden, Kerr,
and their gallant comrades were heartfelt, but
all regarded as an earnest of the success OF the
Cuban cause.
There was before no lack of sympathy or en-
thusiasm in the cause of the patriots, but the
Spanish ba-barity displayed in the murder OF
their patriot pursurers, if true stated III our
despatch, will rouse spirit in this country
which will not rest until it has swept every
yestige of Spanish tyranny from the beautiful
island, whose soil it has SO long polluted.
CUBAN MEETING-3O00 CITIZENS ASSEMBLED
IN MASS MEETING.
One of the largest meetings ever assembled
in Savannah, convened last night in our city, to
express their sympathy for the struggling pa
triots of Cuba Though the call was only put
forth during the day-haviDg appeared in neither
of the morning papers-the throng which as
sembled at the Exchange was immense
Solomon Cohen, esq, having been called to
the chair, addressed the assembly briefly and
|eloquently, receiving enthusiastic applause.
Messrs Webb and Mitchell having been ap-
pointed secretaries, it was found that the long
room Of the Exchange Crowded well nigh to
suffocation as it was) was utterly inadequate to
admit the multitude-an adjournment was there-
upon made to the Pulaski Square, where the
audience were forcibly addressed by DR.. r. d.
Arnold, r.. III. Griffin, j. Bilbo and Thomas s.
Daniel, esqrs.
A committee having been appointed to draft
resolutions to be submitted to meeting to be
assembled at the same place to-night-an ad-
journment was carried. The enthusiasm through
out was unbounded.
The square was illuminated with bonhres,
while rockets, ever and anon, were sent blazing
throughout the sir.
OF the subsequent proceedings in Savannah,
the Georgian, of Friday last, gives the following;
