The Savannah (Geo.) News, speaking OF the re-
ceipt of the late news in that city, says:
"The news was read out from our office door, and
produced the most intense excitement. The regrets
for the fate of young Crttenden, kerr and their gal
liant comrades, were heartfelt, but all regarded as
earnest of the success of the Cuban cause.
There was before no lack of sympathy enthusl-
in the of the patriots, but the Spanish bar
barity displayed in the murder of their patriot prs-
oners if true, stated in our despatch, will rouse
spirit in this country which will not rest until it has
swept every vestge of Spanish tyranny from the
beautiful island whose soil it has SO long polluted.
