THE HERALD AND ITS MARITIME DE.
PARTMENT.

From the Norwich (Conn) Advertiser, July 81
The NEW YORK HERALD has achievements to boast
about. and the public knows what they are; but
the writer will only refer now to its full and early
ship news. In commercial community this Is
enough to give the stamp OF superiority hence the
HERALD Is omnipresent-in every counting house
at home and every commercial reading room
abroad. 1t is the only American paper that you
will be sure Of finding III any foreign pOrt you may
visit. The writer found 1t so when he
visited, three years ago, several points IN
the West Indies. All have heard OF the
HERALDs steam yachts. Returning to New York,
We anchored in placid sea several miles OF sandy
Hook. at nine O'Clock in the evening Directly one
OF these yachts bore down upon US, pulling and
blowing and in a sharp, business-like manner
asked and obtained Information as to our name,
port OF departure. length ofvoyage, incidents, &C.,
and then, with tinga ling OF its pilot bell, started
Off to visit some other craft. Next mOrning-lt
was beautiful morning In Aprii-we were towed
by steamtug up the bay, past scores OF vessels of
all kinds outward bound past scores of fishing
boats, past the forts with their tender-green
esplanades, past the Narrsws to our wharf
ON the Brooklyn side. That same afternoon We,
took the steamer for New London. At two O'CLOCK,
We arrived home per railroad, and as We ap.
Iroached the house there was window blind half
open. Directlya front door opened and soon q
form was observed gliding to the gate. greeting
followed. To explain THAT bit Of ship news in
the HERALD Of that morning had been read in Nor
wich the same afternoon. or course the rest was
naturally inferred and the arrival OF the steamboat
train watched for. The commercial paper par er
Ceiierce OF New York did not contain the news Of
that vessels arrival until twenty.lour hours alter
its appearance in the HERALD

Colonel Bradley will leave the main command Of the

twelve companies OF cavalry and infantry, to the

to recover. Santa Cruz LETT Achalar the same after

affair was spoken Of must conclude that its effect
was all the wild Cure could have desired. No one

betray the Carlist cause o. to speak against
TIL EBR UTAL AUTHORITY OF THE CELEBRATED CURE
Another fact characteristic OF the nature Of this
man Is his dealing with the only prisoner he had
taken
AT ENpERLAzA.
The result of this fight was greatly exaggerated
The whole number Of cdrtotneros which took part
IN il amounted to forty-one men. Five OF them
escaped, two were drowned In attempting to
escape by swimming across the Bidassoa, nine
were killed during the action, twenty-three were
massacred for having fred alter they had hoisted
the white Dag and one was taken prisoner. Santa
Cruz carried that man for several days with him,
but when he learned that, Notwithstanding
the letters he sent to the Bayonne papers
giving the particulars OF the affairs, public opinion
in Spain and France still persisted in accusing him
OF having shot prisoners, he sent word TO his
captive saying he thought 1t his duty justify the
accusations of the liberals, ana therefore to shoot
him.
TEN MINUTES FOR PRAYERS.
Ten minutes we're allowed the poor man for con-
fession, and four balls put an end to hfs life.
1t may be mentioned here, by the BY, that this
economical shooting with four balls instead Of the
customary twelve is an established rule in the Car
list army. They say they cannot AFFORD the luxury
of twelve cartridges being used for single man.
And the fact that the twenty-three carabineers
who were found lying in one heap near the En-
deriaza Bridge were
ALL SHOT WITH ONE BALL.
and mostly through the head, is adduced by Santa
Cruz and his men as additional proof that they
were not shot after being taken prisoners, but
killed in nand-to-hand fight by the Cariists
Justly enraged BY the treachery to which
they had been exposed through the
firing after the white nag had been
hoisted. Yet it must be said that. however savage
the nghting must have been, It could not have
lasted long, for OF the two dead bodies saw
picked up from the Bdassoa the one had twenty
two cartridges In his box the other nrty. Keeping
In view that cartridge box contains sixty car

JUNE IL, 1873.
Twas quietly writing these lines yesterday after
noon, and wondering how I should be able to let
you have them, when the little hump backed mil
liner entered my room and announced that Sehor

served the family as a workshop. Within lew
yards from the house saw, out Of the window.

with company OF his best and tallest men. His
orderly was walking close to him, leading his bay
mountain hack. santa Cruz had no arms about
him, except long stick, similar to those used in
the Alps by Englishmen OF climbing dispositions
He was dressed In q rough black coat one very
similar to those worn by Methodist parsons. 1t
looked even just as shabby, though much coarser
soft Basque sandals, with thick CATERS and dark
blue Bssquese beret, completed the costume. There
was not q brass button or anything military like
about him. He marched with great steps, now
and then mutterinQ the usual "ddfos'' to people
bowing to him, and went straight to his house,
some twenty doors higher than mine. My .hostesses
advised me not to go to him until called, as Don
Estevan was sure to report to him about my arrival
and presence in the place. More than an hour
passed. however, without my hearing any news
from the man In whose power l was.
Presently noticed. however, some movement
round his residence, and BY and by the Cure ap-
peared ct the door. He walked down the street
toward my house with eight men Of his body guard,
armed Ia Don Estevan, to their very teeth.
