THE INFAMY OF MILITARY RULE
ailt.stt IN TMWA0 ~ -

1870 IN TEXAS
The wife of Mr.. G. L. Pitcher, o.
Jefferson, Texas, writes q strong
appeal in behalf of her husband
who is now in military confinement
at Jefferson. She says that on the
9th of February last, she discharged
two negro servants for inefficiency.
IlOn the evening of the same day
Mr.. Pitcher was arrested and con-
fined in the stockade. No charge
was made against him, nor any in
formation given him concerning the
grounds Of his arrest. Having been
in confinement some months, he
wrote some letters of complaint.
On the 30th ult., on his return from
the place where he was undergoing
trial, he was put ''into cell six feet
by eight, with walls three plank
deep and almost air tight" and
kept there twelve hours, when the
surgeon gave his opinion that the
prisoner could not survive if kept
in the cell much longer. Some
apertures were then made in the
cell, but the prisoner was not re-
moved from it. He is kept in soil
tary confinement, and, though in
delicate health, is not allowed any
food except the rations of the com
mon soldier; is not permitted to
have any reading matter whatever,
nor to take any exercise, nor to
have a light in his cell at night
Mrs. Pitcher continues:
'tAll this is to satisfy the private
malice of Gen. Buell.. / am not
allowed to send him anything at all,
except articles ordered by the Docs
tor. A minister Of the place, one
highly respected and beloved by
every one, requested Gen. Buell.,
personally, to be allowed to send
Mr.. Pitcher a Bible, which he most
positively refused, saying that he
could not have that or anything
else, that any of the other prisoners
might have it, but not him. Will
the United States government,
which has the character of being
humane, magnanimous and just,
allow such petty acts of tyranny
x "Mr. Pitchers health
is failing rapidly. His looks plainly
show that if this same course is
much longer, he will fall
q martyr, and an innocent one, to
the tyranny Of his commander
My husband has been guilty of
no wrong; he has been ready at
any and all times to meet any fair
investigation Of his conduct. II he
had any fears whatever, abundant
were afforded him of
going away. But he chose to re-
main long after tho first arrests
were made. And now, having
ruined him pecuniarily, and left his
family defenseless, knowing that
they can bring no charge against
him which he can not fairly meet,
an attempt is being to destroy his
life by slow torture. My mental
sufferings are scarcely less than his,
and in the name of humanity and
Justice / ask if there is no redress
or alienation of this great wrong"
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-06-30


tranquility is still a stranger to
Spain, although affairs are assuming
a more settled and peaceful aspect.
On taking the oath, and being in
Quoted into the Office of Regent,
Serrano, in an address remarkable
for liberality and moderation, prom
Used to respect the constitution and
the liberties of the people, and in
return he was assured of the sup
port of the Spaniards.
The republicans have again been
disappointed in not being able to
exile The Duke of Montpensier from
the country, the resolution which
one of their number had introduced
into the Cortes being rejected by q
very large vote. As Gen. Prim very
properly expressed it, Montpensier
was looked upon as a private citi-
zen, and chad perfect liberty to re-
side in any part of the country"
The prospects of Montpensier for
the vacant throne are so slight
while the present ruler of France
survives, that the Republicans have
tttle cause to fear anything from
him much less, indeed, than from
some OF their own more prominent
officials, who would scarcely reject
the glittering bauble, if, indeed,
they are not intriguing for it now.
That the adherents of Isabella are
not all inactive is evident from some
slight risings in several parts of the
country; easily checked, certainly,
but still important and showing
that trouble from that quarter need
not be unexpected.
Some dissatisfaction with the
present government, and more es-
pecially with the Regent has been
manifested, and it is scarcely to be
expected that his bed viii be one
Of roses. In the mutability of hu
man affairs, especially among so
volatile people as the Spaniards,
more improbable events have hap
pened than the return of the Bour-
bons in the person of Isabella or
her son, and, although public opin-
ion now is certainly against it,
there is no telling how long it may
remain so. The policy of the pres
ent government has been freely eX-
pressed by Gen Prim, in his speech
IN the Cortes, on Saturday. when he
said "the government must be hard,
inflexible, and almost cruel in res
pressing disorder" Such it will
undoubtedly be, and necessarily,
too, for the Spaniards have chosen
the monarchical system, and it can
not afford to tolerate liberalism.
The present government can be
considered but a temporary one,
and what changes will ensue before
a more stable system is established
can only be conjectured. In the
mean time the affairs of Spain and
her former colony, for we consider
it lost to her, Cuba, are destined to
occupy large share Of the public
attention in both hemispberes.

THE ROB ROY OF TENNESSEE
SHOT.
A Noted Cattle Thief and Fleet Bun

A Noted Cattle Thief and Fleet RuD-
Every reader Of the greatest novelist
Of the century Scott remembers the
character of Rob Roy, who, descending
with his wild followers from the high
lands, would swoop down upon the low
landers and drive off the cattle Of all who
did not pay him protection money. A
mulatto named Peter Love is endowed
with many Of Rob Roy's characteristics,
as hundreds of persons in this district OF
country know to their cost. The detec.-
tive police assure us that, one time or an
other, his cattle stealings will count up
little short Of one hundred head. He
has incredible skill in driving off the an
finals, and uniailing ways Of disposing
of them. Again and again the police
have been on his traces, but their ems
deavors to bring him face to face with
Justice have invariably failed. lie is
one Of the most astonishing runners ever
known here, and when he once has a
fair start, it is useless to hope to reach
him. In the city he threads alleys and
passages like a cat on gutter; in the
country he puts all pursuit on horseback
AZ fault by an agility at leaping fences,
darting across enclosures, and climbing
trees, which no skill can cope with, and
no cunning battle. On Friday, Officers
O'Connell and McCune saw him come
out of "Curley's" house, which is neal
the fair grounds. They called upon him
10 halt, and, on his turning to run, they
sent after him the only messengers thai
are ever likely TO Overtake him-leadeT
ones. On the man ran, however, and
as usual got away, but not, as the Officers
learn. with his usual luck. 1t is reported
that he was struck in the right side by
one of the balls, which ranged upward
toward the breast. How he ESCAPED
with such wound is inexplicable, eve
with A fellow of such wonderful cndur
snce as Peter Love. Ii is thought prob
able that ,his event may have brough
the cattle stealor's Icing career to an ar
nroaching termination; as, if he surviV

will escape capture, now his tcetness
