 The death of Capt. Thos. J. Jason, quar, tarmaster of Col. Sweets xas)egiment, is much to be eplored.

 What fate for the S5l and the Yankees are not bit too good tosit t upon us, if they had the power. The neas of San Domingo rose upon the whites an murdered them all and that once fair IalaliS now the home q barbarous savages.
