Massacre Of Americans nj IIa

There is so much truth in the follow
ing remarks of the Burlington Tele-
graph, that we give them place in our
columns in preference to saying any,
thing ourself. We believe like Morgan,
that the Fate Of Cuba has been sealed. -
She will before twelve month be an
American Stale or an independent Re-
public. So mote il be-:
The intelligence, published in this
mornings paper, concerning the massa.
ere of fifty Americans at Havana by
order of the Spanish authorities, will be
read with thrilling interest. and give rise
TO feeling of universal Indignation a.
mong our people. There can be bul lit
tie doubt that the party thus cruelty
butchered formed portion of the COM
mand which recently sailed from New
Orleans under Gen. Lopez, as he is re-.
ported to have reached Cuba ON the 10th,
and these murders took place on the 10Th.
How much soever we may regret the
appearance of violation on the part oil
our citizens Of wha: would seem to be
the pledged faith of our government,
still no one can read the account of the
late massacre without experiencing a
feeling OF strong resentment--a desire
to revenge in some form this attrocious
murder of American citizens. The in.
suit TO our flag, too, and the con,emptu-
Gus bearing Of Spanish officials towards
American citizens who were made the
unwilling spectators Of this shocking
spectacle, oanno. fail to arrest the atten-
ton and arouse the Indignation of our
people. What may have become Of
Gen. Lopez. and the remainder Of his
command, Heaven only knows-but the
probabilities are that ere this they have
shared the fate of their unfortunate COM
rades. That they have been able to
sustain themselves is highly aues,iona-
BILE, and if defeated at all, their desiruc-
lion becomes inevitable. But, be their
fate what il may,it is no idle saying to
asser. that The conquest Of Cuba has
been commenced. The blood Of Amer.
lean citizens, shot down like robbers,
will cry from the earth for vengeance un-
al both The policy and the forces of our
government will be put at defiance by
an outraged and exasperated people
The fate of Cuba has been sealed by
,he blood Of the patriots at Havana, and
The days of Spanish rule upon The Wes-
tern continent are already numbered.

American Agricultural Implc-
pnersts I'm Esg iOnd.


A London letter stats that irialof a
few agricultural implensnis which have
been shown in the greal Exhibition, was
made on the 24th ult, at Mr.. Mechi's
model farm, a, Trpiec- heath. Col.
Johnston, of New York, was present on
the part Of the United States. The A
merican reaping machines attracted much
attention, but as the wheat was wet and
unripe, only one machine worked to ad-
vantage. This was McCormick's.-
The Times sent reporter TO Tiptree,
and he says that about the success o.
this machine, when tired under more ia
vorable circumstances there cannot be
a doubt; aud, as to lis advantages, they
were sufficiently indicated by the loud
cheers which burst from the large body
OF farmers assembled. The Times ands;
SIT is NOT a little singular that such an
invention should come TO Us from Amer
lea, where the shor, cnmings OF the labor
market have compelled people to look
out for mechanical facilities in carrying
out their harvesting operations. There
il has been in existence for several years,
while we in this country have been go
ing on from autumn 10 autumn, depend
ent for securing our essps upon armies
of impoverished Irish peasants, who
came TO reap. and remain TO fill our
work houses, swell cur rates, and aggra.
ra'e the moral and physical wre,chod-
ness of our surplus population
The Morning Post, referring to the
meeting at Mechi' farm, and the trial of
agricultural instruments, remarks of Nc
Cormick' $ machine, as follows:
"Twice did il go over the field. and
without the slightest failure, cnl The corn.
leaving the stubble about the ordinary
height, and ,hrowiOg the several plants
at The side Of its path in heaps. just ii;-
ted for being tied up in sheaves. IL is
probable that some improvements and
notifications of Die details OF this i'm
plemenl may be discovered, but It's uni
versal adoption must be a matter Of GER
tainty. Ii must be obvious that, with
this implement, the farmer obtains in
far greater degree control over lis har-
vest which he never f,d before. It's irws
PRODUCTION here isone of the mos, i'm
tant helps which the farmer hass lately
received from machinery"
These very critics, who now speak
in such high terms Of praise of this A
merican machine, spoke Of il with ridi-!
cule whenlt was if the crystal Sffalacr!
When, however, they discover The prac
,ical utility of many Of the American a,
,icles in The Exhibition, they are ason-
ished al the ingenuity of The Americans.
So Mccormick rfaping machine will
be awarded frs; class priz..
