INHUMANENECUTIONs.

Either from cupable careIessness or want of
skill IN such matters, several recent executions
have been attended with the most revolving
scenes, such as would disgrace the most barbar-
Gus countries. Instead of the victim being
launched into eternity by that speedy and al,
most painless process which the gallOws was
humanely designed to effect, his tOrtures have
been prolonged and intensified until they have
almost equslled those of the Inauisition. Jus
tice and humanity require that there should be
reform In this respect. Officials whose duty

Purchase OF Cuha-The Thirty Million BiHl.
The Washington States has published series
OF vigorous articles in opposition to the prop
osition before Congress to appropriate thirty
million of dollars for the purchase Of Cuba. In
its issue Of January 25th, II says; brewer z
We foresee The passage Of the bill for the pur-
chase of Cuba Singularly enough it IL amp
ported by nearly all parties, but from diverse
motives and for opposite purposes The cham
pons of Cuban annexation, though utterly In
credulous of the efficacy Of the expedient, are
unwilling to reject even the shadow of chance
for the attainment of their ohject,--and Mr..
Buchanan assures them OF the possibility Of the
purchase Of the island In the present juncture
Of affairs. The opponents Of Cuban annexation
are not really averse to the measure, since they
foresee its effect in aceumulaiing obstacles 20
the realization of its ostensible aim. The
friends of the Administration support 1t OF
course, In obedience to the authority OF party
discipline. The enemies of the Administration
support 1t from an absolute conviction that il
will crush the President with the weight Of an
unredeemable responsibility. Thus on parties
appear to favor the Thirty Million project
except few persons-Ourselves among the
number-who being both friendly to tho Ad-
ministration and anxious for the acquisition OF
Cuba, are willing neither TO confirm Spain In
the possession Of the island by an unwise and
futile policy, nor TO embarrass the President
with trust which, in the nature Of things, he
cannot discharge. ......l
In another article upon the same subject, wc
find the following:
1t is perfectly we'll understood among all par
ties in this city, that the Thirty Million bill is
sham demonstration. Everybody admits the
utter absurdity of an attempt to purchase Cuba
in the present posture of affairs. A distinguish
ed Southern Senator emphatically expressed the
universal sentiment, when he declared that Mr..
Buchanan might as swell essay to 'toat' him.
self from the White House to The Capitol by
the seat of his pantaloons, rs undertake to nc
quire Cuba for pecuniary considerations
What, then, is the object of the movement
Here, again, intelligent persons are agreed in
opinion. Everybody in Washington under.
stands that the Thirty Million bill originated Ia
the desire of demagognes to propitiate the pub
lie sentiment, by an apparent zeal Ia o popular
enterprise. Now, for our part, we do not in
tend to be instrumental TO the success Of any
so dscreditabe artifce. And, besides this re-
pugnance, we have sense enough to understand
that any overture for the purchase of Cuba at
the present moment, will only result In post
poning its acquisition to an indefinite period
That Is the opinion OF every man at all con-
versant with Spanish politics. We do not be.
lieve, for instance, that Mr.. Buchanan is so stu.
pid as to attempt TO buy Cuba. He will not
use the money but the mere movement will
provoke the Spanish people TO declaration OF
inexorable resistance to the cession Of the island
It is for this reason we oppose the Thirty Mill
lion proposition. asff rs

| An American Vessel Burned by the English.
| A dispatch in the Missouri Democrat dated
Washington, Feb. 9th, says that the Navy De-
partment Is In receipt of official advices from
the coast of Africa, announcing the visit, search
seizure and burning OF an American vessel by
British cruiser. The following is a statement
of the affair." made by Peter Callnda, one Of the
crew OF the burned vessel:
shipped for the American brig Rufus soule.
Capt. Anderson, at Matanzas, on the 9th July,
and sailed as understood, for Fernando Point.
Sighted Cape de Verde Islands, and the next
land we made was the African coast, near Ban
da Point. Soon after we saw steamer com,
| ing towards us, and she sent boat The cap
| tain OF steamer Viper and another officer with
him came on board They asked for papers
and mustered the crew, and questioned all
aboard where we belonged. was at the wheel
and heard the captain Of the Viper tell Capt.
Anderson that he would give him one hour to
make up his mind. and If he did not deliver his
vessel be would take her In tow, and the cap
| tain returned on board bis own vessel leaving
| the officer with US. In half an hour the order
was given for the English to open the matches.
| then saw for the first time, that our flag had
been hauled down. The English officer then
waved his handkerchief to the Viper, aud the
captain Of that steamer came on board. The
matches were opened, and he ordered us all to
get our clothes ready TO GO on board the steam.
er. Afterwards they brought from the brig ell
her sails and small stores. The brig was set
on fire about o'clock 10 the evening, and was
burning oil night. In the morning several
shots were fired at her before going down.
heard it said by some of the crew Of the
Viper that she was burned because they had no
men to send away 10 her, and that they had or
ders to burn one out of every three vessels
taken. We got under way In the afternoon,
and were landed on the beach at Kabenela. snid
The correspondence between the commander
shows that the American flag was flying at tho
time Of the seizure, and that the captain threw
his papers overheard when called upon TO show
them. ~ t4 "'
