The REVOLUTION IN CHILI.-Shocking Ont.
ruycs.-A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, writing from Valparaiso, gives
some interesting particulars of the progress Of
the revolutionary outbreak in Chill. On the Sd
of January battle was fought at Conception,
resulting in the success of the government troops,
after about 500 had been killed and wounded on
place, in one of which, lat San Felippe) 600
were killed and wounded. Of this engagement
the writer remarks:
It is said that the officer in command of the
government troops, in order to excite his men,
stated to them that if victorious they would be
granted three hours to plumber and do just as
they pleased with persons and things within
their reach. AS soon as the enemy was driven
from the city the work of plumber and outrage
commenced All the business houses, stores and
private residences were forcibly entered and rob-
bed. Not only were the dwellings of respecta-
BILE citizens robbed and damaged, but the female
inmates were insulted, and, in some instances,
were brutally outraged. The nunnery doors
were forced open and deeds of the most revolt
ing and disgraceful character perpetrated.
At Caldero a thirty-two pound shot, fired
from government war steamer, passed through
the house of the United States vice consul, great
damaging the house and furniture.
THE.S1cKLEs TR1AL.-A Washington cores
pondent of the New York Tribune, in speaking
of the Sickles trial, says:
The murder is not denied, and even the in
tention is said to be admitted. If the law is to
be vindicated at all, conviction becomes a ne
cessity, and then the question of mitigating cir
cumstances belong to the pardoning power
Otherwise, the law is wretched farce, and
worse than that, an incentive to crime. When
all the facts of this tragic affair, which, since its
occurrence, has been invested with a sort OF
melo-dramatic tinse, shall have disclosed, it will
be then seen, and not before, with how much
fitness and propriety Mr.. Sickles assumed the
championship Of society, and how worthy Of
in part, he imbrued his hands in the blood of ar
erring brother.
H1@In an article giving an outline of the
Sickles tragedy, the London Times of the 10TH
thinks that the form of Mr.. Sickles' revenge was
according to the fashion of his age and country
One nation uses stilletto, another an old flint
gun. a fourth a barrister. England employs
barrister; in the United States the revolver come
more Familiarity to the hand OF an outraged hus
band. The Times is sure that the "miserabl
story" of the Sickles and Key affair will be reae
with commiseration by all persons in England
who had any knowledge of the actors in tn
tragedy.
