and the Filibusters Routed.
New YORK, July 2.-The editor of the
CrolatStd, the Spanish newspaper here, has
received the following dispateh:8
The steamer Fannie has been burned and
all her cargo captured. Poralto and seve-
raj others were killed and the rest taken
prisoners. -.s,
Details of the Affair.
HAVANA, July 2. = A telegram from
Col. Valera, dated Herradura, June 25,
twenty-five leagues from Guantanamo, says
the Fannie has landed valuable cargo of
arms and ammunition. She got aground
and isnow burning within sight. The ex-
pedjtion consisted of 81 men and was COM
manded by Peralta. The expedition land
ed and buried the cargo. Valera attacked
the hllibusters, killing Peralta and captur-
ing Their fiags, important correspondence
for Cespedes and five prisoners, two officers
and three privates. Guided by the prison
ers Valera discovered the buried cargo and
secured it IN good condition. Valera is
pursuing the fillibusters and troops have
been ordered to the jurisdiction to attempt
to cut off the remainder of the party.
1t is supposed in Havana that part of the
Fannie's cargo was transhipped in two
sloops and landed on the north coast of the
Island. The fate of the Fannie's crew is
unknown, but it is presumed they joined
the filibusters. 1t is asserted, however,
that they took to their boats and went to
Jamaica.
A telegram received to-day announces
that sixteen more of the expeditionists have
been captured and shot, and that two can
mons, one hundred and sixty rifes,o over two
hundred cases of cartridges, and many bar
rels of powder have been unearthed, and
that discoveries and pursuit of expedition.
ISIS are still going on.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN COFFEE
COUNTY.

At a meeting of the Democrats Of Coffee
oopnty. held at the courthouse in Manches-
tar. on Monday, the 1st day of July, 1872,
oy. motion of Capt. S. E. Carnes, Col. Z.
n Mcbride was called to the chair and X.
@. garden, ESQ.,, was appointed Secretary.
Oh, Mcbride in few brief remarks ex-
plained the object of the meeting, stated
that the Democratic Central Executive
Committee had called Convention to meet
at n shviIle, on the - day of -, to
nominate a candidate for Congress from the
State at large. We have two or more as
pirants for the position, one of whom was
an honored and loved citizensef cur own
county. 1t was for the people to send dele
oates 10 the Convention to represent their
wishes and sentiments.
On motion, the chair appointed the fol-
lowing delegates to the Democratic Con-
venti0n at Nashville, viz: Capt. 5. 4.
Carnes, John Q. A. Farrar, Esq, J.P. Mil
Ter. ESD, NJ. Roach, and James @. AydelOtt,
ESQ. and on motion, the chairman of the
meeting was added to the delegation.
On motion of DR.. Stephenson it was en-
Enthusiastically resolved that the delegates be
Instructed to cast the vote Of Coffee county
for Gen. Frank Cheatbam.
ON motion of Capt. Carnes it was re-
solved that the Coffee County Democrat,
the Tullahoma Independent and the Nash
Vile Union AND AMERICAN be requested
To COPY the proceedings Of this meeting.
Capt. Carnes being called for, said: He
was not exp citing to make a speech. DE
was happy to record himself in favor of his
old commander and cOmrade in arms. Gen.
Chatham was 3 native Tennessean, a life
long Democrat, as a soldier and citizen was
without reproach. 1t was the proudest
memory of his (Capt. Carnes') life that he
had been with Gen. Cheatham on fields,
where "fire and carnage and death" reigned.
He had seen Gen. Cheatham undismayed
when cold drops of agony stood on the
foreheads of the bravest. Gen. Cheatham
was par excellence the hero, the citizen,the
statesman. As Hon. G. A. Henry has well
said, .'the people of Tennessee owe him a
debt of gratitude" ;" the payment of which
should not be postponed an hour longer.
Col. Matt. Martin being loudly called
for arose and made telling speech in hi:
Characteristic vein. He fully indorsed the
action taken in reference to Gen. Cheatham
He was a soldier on whose escutcheon NJ
dishonor had ever come. None could lool
hack and reproach him. He was an homo
70 our State, to our county and would pre-
sent the anomaly of an honest man in tn,
Congress of the United States. He (Col
Martin) had served with Gen. Cheatham il
The terrible ordeal of the late war. Gen
Cheatham had now abandoned the prin
ciples of 1861, and old Coffee would Civ
him a rousing vote. Col. Martin conclude
amid great applause.
The meeting adjourned sine die.

THE London Saturday Recielo discusses,
under the title "The return of the GOths,"
the invasion of Italy by the English and
Americans. That smiling land Of the
grape and the olive has fairly been taken
by storm by these tourists this season.
The scenes az the stations are often OF the
widest confusion. "Troops of Americans
and English precipitate themselves on the
trains, careless of the claims OF previous
occupants; hats they sit upon, coats
they displace, umbrellas they ignore"
Daughters in dirty dresses, fathers hurry
ing backward and forward, newly married
couples clinging to each others hands and
to their travelling satchels, try the patience
of couriers and officials. We hope also,
for the sake of the reputation OF our
countrymen, that the Saturday ReUiea0 does
their manners injustic9.

HAYTI.
Protest against the late German
BOmbardment.

Bonn Oardmelt.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, June 26.-Presi-
dent Saget, of Hayti, has issued procla-
nation denouncing as an outrage the ae-
ton of the German fleet in enforcing the
demands Of German merchants.
At conference of foreign ambassadors
the American Minister commented with
great severity on the Indifference of HaJti
20 her international obligations, and Ge-
clared that the present crisis was natural
consequence ofsuch indifference. He urged
the President to be careful not to compromise
Hayti by this dangerous policy, otherwise
he would open the doors by which Ameri-
can and European governments, which
might desire, could enter. he also said
that the Germans acted with justice in re-
gard to the demands Of their merchants.
French Minister pronounced the proceed
ing an act of barbarity. The British Min
lister feelingly replied, my opinion is against
you and uphold the action of the Ger
mans.
White and Hartman, Part au Prince
merchants, advanced the money for the
indemnity, which the government was CON-
peled to pay.
The Haytien Cabinet rejected a motion
made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to
open fire on the German steamers. Tie
Ministry is exceedingly unpopular.

A Queer story.

CHICAGO, July 2.--Late last night a
young German giving the name OF Alto
Bettzierche came up to policeman and IN
dicated a desire to be arrested. AS he
could not speak English, an interpreter Was
found, when Bettzieche stated that he was
a native of Magdeburg, Germany; that he
had committed a robbery there to the
amount of between six and seven thousand
dollars, which sum he brought to this coun-
try, but had since returned all but about
FIVE hundred dollars. He expressed a de-
sire to be taken into custody and sent back

xApKoW GAUGE RAILRoADs.

There are seventy-nine narrow gauge
railroads, aggregating nearly ten thousand
miles in length, already built and under
construction, on the North American con-
tinent. The narrow gauge in railways is
steadily advancing in popular favor. Not
withstanding the opposition Of many emf
nent engineers, there is no doubt that for a
limited traffic it can be constructed with
much less expense than the broad gauge.
A recent issue Of the st. Louis Democrat
gives an interesting account of road, with
a gauge of three feet, which is now build
ing from that city to Cairo. When compile
ted it will have length of 147 miles, and be
equipped with 26 locomotives and 1900
cars. This road begins at East st. Louis
and proceeds down along the river bank
10 a point opposite Carondolet; then turn
ing Southeastward, it pursues its way
to Cairo, passing directly through the Big
Muddy coal region. One of the designs OF
this road is to supply coal cheap to the Car
ondelet iron furnaces, hence the heavy
equipment of rolling-stock. Work is &C
lively going forward on this line. One
hundred miles of the grading will be fin
ished by the first of July next. The ties
for the whole road are nearly ready. The
iron is purchased and the money all in hand
10 pay for it. A large portion of it is now
en- route to this city, and will soon arrive
Upon all of the heavy grades steel rails will
be used, and the balance Of the iron VIII be
forty.five pounds to the yard. Broad gauge
rails weigh sixty-fve pounds to the yard.
Although the equipment OF this road is un,
usually large for SO short line, and though
the country built over is a very rough and
hiIy one for most of the way, the cost viii
probably fall within $4,000 per mile.

Marshall county being remote from rail-
