Little Maggie Brew Is Dead

This exclamation WAS uttered by hun.
dreds of little girls and boys on Sunday
morning, and the fact seemed to have cast
gloom over all, for sad indeed we're they
who heard it. Maggie was a sweet little
girl, scarcely twelve years old, with bright
intellect, amiable disposition, courteous
manners, and altogether Just one Of those
kind of children which old women say are
"too good to live" She was member Of
the sodality of "The Children Of Mercy"
one of the first to enrol her name and the
first to take her departure to mansions Of
eternal felicity" leaving behind her, in
this world of sorroWs and Affections, a
large circle of grief-strieksn school-mates,
who resolved to attend her funeral. Hence
the lovely and solemn procession yester-
day, from st. Demands convent, through
Vine to Church street, thence back to
Cedar street, and to the Cathedral, escort
ing the remains of their departed friend
and associate. The church was crowded
to its utmost capacity, and all listened at.
tentively to the touching and edifying rec
marks of Father Meagher, almost every
one in the audience shedding tears because
of the untimely death of little Maggie
Brew. The entire scene was a solemn
and impressive tribute to her memory.

The University OF NASHVILLE.

A few weeks since it was stated that Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston would be invited to
take the Presidency of the University Of
Nashville. We are informed that cor
respondence has occurred, and that this
gentleman has distinctly signifed his will
iiDgness to consider proposition from the
Board of Trustees. No formal action has
yet been had by that body, but at its next
meeting, as we learn, the post will be ten
dered to him. In the mean while, sub
scription, under auspices which will not
fail, is in preparation to be presented to
the citizens of Nashville, looking to the
securement of salary, beyond the esti-
mated revenues Of the University, sufficient
to secure Gen. Johnsson's services. A
prominent citizen heads the list with lib
eral subscription, and il ia safe to assert
that the sum required will be promptly
pledged. "" . N-.'-
We cannot doubt that the citizens of
Nashville will promptly respond. The
University of Nashville should be the
pride of every Tennessean. Our own cit
zsns feel special pride in its prosperity,
and they have deep pecuniary interest.
II is high time they were exhibiting an
earnes! practical evidence of the fact. The
cities of St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville,
New Orleans, Charleston, and San Francis-
co, not to speak of the older cities of the
Eastern States, make their educational i'm
stituiions special subjects of municipal at
tention and aid. The University Of Nash
vile, with q thousand collegiate and pro-
fessional students annually, would be
worth from half million To a million Of
dollars to the city every year. There is
no investment surer than this. The &C.
cession of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to the
Presidency, or some such man, is the frs;
step 10 the refounding Of the Institution.
Than this gentleman, no one more worthy
or capable can be found. He is of fam
lily Of scholars, and his administrative
ability is part of history that will never
die. We hail this movement, and hope
that the energetic hands who have it in
charge will receive the prompt support Of
the Board of Trustees and the liberal en-
enlargement from the community which
| it deserves.

Terrible RencouDter.

AT Lagrange on Saturday last most
terrible snd bloody fight took place be-
tween a man named Witberspoon, formerly
a merchant Of that place, and a country.
man named King. The difficulty grew
out Of an old business matter and was sgri.
waited by mean whisky on both sides. King,
after being shot through the lungs and arm
and he received every shot while facing
his implacable foe-forced Witherspoon
into store, knocked him down with his
pistol which had failed FIRE five times, and
beat his head until life was thought to be
extinct. The last sho! fred by Wither-
spoon accidentally wounded young man
named Branchford in one of his legs. The
fight is said to have been one of the most
desperate that has ever occurred In the
place, or even in the district. 1t is thought
that neither King nor Witherspoon can
possibly survive their frightful wounds.

IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.
DISCRIMINATION OF the Cuban
Army.
Effects OF Jealousy, Treaehery
and Spanish Gold.
The Americans Anxious to
Leave the Island.

L Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette,
! WASHINGTON, October l, 1869.-Let.
tiers from Cuba and Florida received in
this city to-day are important. They
| confirm the assassination Of General Mar.
cane by Cuban soldiers, and assert that
the act was prompted by spirit of jeal.
ousy of foreigners which pervades, to a
| greater or less extent, every portion oil
the Cuban army, as well as the Cuban
population. The jealousy was manifesto
ed when the foreign officers who had
joined the Cubans attempted to organize
and discipline the troops assigned to their
command for active operations in the
field, but it was believed this would be
overcome by association, and the success.
ses that would be secured by confidence
and proper organization. The true friends
Of Cuban Independence were, however,
disappointed. Spanish gold stimulated
the national characteristics of the Gu
bans, and conspiracies and plots for as
sassination and betrayal have been dis.
covered in every portion of the army.
These plots are not confined to the SOL
diers, but officers of high rank are impli-
Gated. As in the case of the Marcuno
brothers, it was subsequently ascertained
that the leaders were Cuban officers, who
followed the perpetrators into the Span.
ish camp, where they were rewarded for
their treaehery and murder.
Seven Of the American volunteers who
went out with Gen. Jordan succeeded in
escaping from the Island and landing on
the Florida coast. They say there is not
an American in the Cuban army that
would not accept any terms, less than
death, to get away from their present
position. When they left the United
States they had assurances Of assistance
from the government, without which
they never would have entered on their
perilous expedition. That now they are
at the mercy of the Spaniards and the
equally treacherous Cubans. The Spani.
ards will make no terms with Americans,
but hope to destroy them by treachery
secured by gold and promises of protec~
ton. Should the government send a
vessel to bring them home, as was done
with Walkers men, they assert it would
be an act Of justice which they hardly
hope for, for American citizens who have
taken no part in the war ara daily i'm
prisoned and executed without any ats
tempt being made for their protection.
There have been no engagements of
since the fight at Las Tunas.
The Spaniards are awaiting reinforce
ments, so they say; but are, no doubt,
watching with greater anxiety for the
disruption Of the Cuban army, which
must soon occur, unless Cespedes and
his Generals have the power to put
down the spirit of revolt and treachery
which now threatens its disintegrstion.
