SAD FATE OF A YOUNG AMERICAN IN CuBA.-
The recently published letters of Albert Wyeth
written just before his execution at Santiago
de Cuba by order Of Spanish drum head
court-martial, will excite perhaps greater indig.
nation in this country than anything that has
previously occurred in the course of the insur-
rection. The following letter to his friend,
explaining how he fen into the hands of the
Spaniards, was written on the 10th Of June:
! told you that Mr.. Jimenez, whom L knew
in New York, told me could 20 with him to
Falmouth at bis expense, which offer accept
ed gladly, hoping In three or four weeks to re-
turn to employment benefited In health. In
tead Of going to Jamaica, as the papers of the
vessel We're made out, we were, when near the
Cuban coast, suddenly told, or rather ordered
TO disembark in Cuba, and the vessel was ac
cordingly run in to this coast, As soon as 1
learned the object OF this movement strenu-
ously objected to taking any part in 1t; but
was told that if / attempted to escape they
wonld shoot me, and was, therefore, forced to
remain. with them until an opportunity occur
red Of presenting myself to the Spanish hoops.
This opportunity fortunately presented itself
about five or six days ago, and T took advau-
tage of 1t az once. i have been,a sprisoners in
close confinement ever since. A great many
of those who were on he vessel, about twenty
eight or thirty in all, have been shot, and this
will be my fate unless the fact OF my having
been 80 miserabiy deceived, aud of having pre-
seDted myself to the authofitiessas soon as DOS
sible, will prevail with the G overnor
His hopes were groundless, for the next day
he wrote another brief note saying that he was
to be executed at seven o'clock that morning.

the library, the a1coves and gallery are in q
forward condition, but another week will be
required for completion. The effect of the
massive finish of oiled black ash with the tint

the question Of the admission OF
Mr.. Joshua Hill, of Georgia, TO a
seat in the United States Senate,
was settled on the 18th inst, so far

of the manner Of the election OF
Senator, the fact of the expulsion
of colorcd members of the Legisla-
ture on the grouad that they were
Ineligible, the features of the State
constitution, and all the points
bearing upon the subject, were fully
discussed in the meeting Of the com
mittee on the 18th. Alters long con-
suItation the committee came TO a
direct vote on the question of the

THE MrLrrTA-AND rHE PEOPLE.

THE MILITIA AND THE PEOPLE.
The Knoxville Press and Herald
says: "The announcement that
the Legislature of Tennessee had
deliberately empowered the Gov
ernor to suspend all civil law at |
will and proclaim himself military
dictator, would, but few short
years ago, have startled the people
of Tennessee like a lightning stroke
from a cloudless sky, and would
have aroused such storm of indig-
nation as would have driven the
conspirators against popular liberty
from their dishonored seats. But,
to-day, so accustomed have the
people become to tyranny in the
false guise of loyalty-so often and
SO long have they acquiesced in,
| and submitted to, usurpation and
violent dominion-that they are
expected tc bow their heads uneom-
plainingly to the yoke and submit
their limbs to the shackles without
a grimace or a''murmur."
I We think the Legislature has
mistaken the spirit of the people of
Tennessee. They have shown every
disposition to support the civil au-
thorities in the enforcement of the
laws for the protection of property
and of the citizens of the State.
1t is worse than idle to assert that
/ it is impossible for the civil officers
I to enforce the laws in any portion
of Middle Tennessee, for the very
reason that no attempt has ever
been made that failed. The truth
| is the civil authorities have made
no effort to arrest the "lawless
bands Of desperadoes, who are set.
| ting ct defiance civil law" If it is
| from cowardice that these civil
officers have failed to discharge The
first and highest duty they owe t.
the State and the counties from
I which they derive authority, they
| should be punished severely. TIL,
calling out of militia should be tn
last resort. In this case it is tn
first. And now the militia j
to be quartered upon an unof
| Tending people, not for the purpos
, of enforcing the laws or Of adm;
the civil authorities in their enforce
, mcnt; but TO harrass a long suffer
ing people and crush them beneatl
the iron heel of despOtism. TIL
militia will not be sent out to pre-
tect peaceable citizens, but to pre-,
upOn them. We have proof of thi
in what was done in the summer {
1867. We fear that the scene
which have just been witnessed j
Arkansas will be reproduced in a
their horrible, revolving forms i
: this State. We very much mistak
, the temper and spirit of the peopl
if such Outrages will be submitte
to. They will do their duty 6
, peaceable, law abiding citizens, an
when necessary will aid in eli
forcing the laws for the protectio
of the lives and property of the
fellow citizens, butwe have no ide
4 | that they will submit TO the il
dignities and outrages which in tn
temper of the people from whic
the militia will be drawn, it
almost certain they will at least a
! tempt.

The Tennessee Legislature has
been in session about four -ffths OF
the time for the last four years, and
has passed more laws than We're
ever enacted in the same length OF
time in the history of this or any
other State.
1t has now authorized the GOV,
ernor to declare martial law-which
is virtually the abrogation of all
other laws, except the will of the
military commander.
