Particulars of the Shooting of Thirty.
seven Of the Virginius' Crew.

A Havana dispatch says On Friday
morning, the It'll, thirty-seven of the
crew of the Virginius were brought on
shore at Santiago de Cuba and taken to
prison, to remain there until their exc
cution, which was ordered for that
afternoon. Capt. Fry, noble looking
old man, fully head taller than the
rest of the crew. when he met his men
tho crew, when he met his men on the
on the wharf previous to the march to the
prison, saluted them all. The salute was
returned with affection. At 4:45 Capt.
Fry and thirty-six men and officers were
publicly shot, despite the protest of all
competent foreign authorities. The
marines were seven minutes killing the
wretched prisoners. 1t seemed as if
they would never finish. At last the
sailors marched off, and the troops filed
past the long row of corposes. Then
the dead-carts were hurried up, and
loaded unfortunately with the mangled
remains.
The American Consul has done all
that could have been DONE Indeed, it
was threatened that his exequatur would
be withdrawn for his exertions in behalf
of the prisoners. In an interview with
Gen. Burriel, that officer yelled at him
and otherwise treated him disrespect-
fully. The British Consul also made an
Intellectual protest against the execution.
1t is reported that sixteen of the victims
were British subjects.

vision Of plenty sweeps over my eyes,
With flavor Of fowls and aroma of pies.

by good Parson stiles, what the Governor said
In his long proclamation. informing the land
The time of Thanksgiving was nearly ut hand.

Which my grandfather said was entirely too soon
To accomplish the pastry and garnish the feast
For the boys from the West and the girls from down

And bloody deeds done by the lanterns dim light !;
While the great rudy blaze set the kitchen aglow,
And the well-polished pewter cleaned forth from

1 remember how Clearly the farmhouse swept,
How the cold winter moon kissed the couch whore

That dissolved in the morn like the mist on the
plain.
Then came Aunt Jerusha, who wore tail cap,
And black shining apron smoothed over her lap,
And good Uncle Nose, who always looked shy,
And stopped short in his speech at q glance from

And lean Uncle Struthers all fresh from his STRIFE

Then we all went to church, and fell fast asleep,
Though tried TO remember the text verse 10 Keep,
And awoke when the rustling of feet on the moor
Proclaimed to my that the service was oer
But year after year fewer came to the farm
Aunt Jerusha went first, and we felt without Marin
To good Uncle Nose, who no longer looked shy
Though he spoke Of her worth with tear in his
eye.
Alas for the years that since then have fed
How few are the living, how many the dead,

And made glad the table OF Thanksgiving time!

Or call them around where the hreside CLEANS

For those who have passed down the hillside OF

With Isaac and Jacob and Moses sit down?

MURDERS In M'NAIRY.
FOnr Men Shoot Negro Man to Death,
and One Brother Kills Another.

From the jackson Whig and Tribune.I
On last Sunday night four men en-
tered by force, the residence of JOnce
Young, near McNairy station, and de-
manded the person of John Raspberry,
colored. Before entering the house
several shots were fired into the door,
which was finally broken down, and
the negro, alarmed and terrified, crept
under the floor and had there secreted
himself One of the murderers however,
informed Mrs. Young that her husband
would answer as well as the negro, and
plainly intimated that unless the negro
was found, that Young's life would be
taken; thereupon she disclosed the hid
ing place of the negro, and the murder
ers procuring lantern went outside the
house, shot under the floor, and wound
ed the negro until he cried out that if
they would not kill him under the floor
he would come out, which he did. He
had no sooner gained the ground out
side than he was perforated with balls.
The negro had had a difficulty a few
days before with Robert Names, a re-
spectacle citizen of the county, in which
Maness alleged that the negro had
assaulted him with a club, which he
resisted by wOunding the negro with
two pistol shots. a coronOr's inquest
failed to elicit sufficient testimony to
"spOt" the murderers, and it may remain
wrapt in mystery. Young was order
ed by the murderers to leave at once,
and he moved out of the neighbOrhoOd
on the following day.
A few days previous to this affair two
George Chambers and Clay
rode int Purdy, remained
long enough to get drunk, and on their
return home INDUCED in a free fight,
which resulted in George inflicting
several wounds upon the person of Clay
with peD-knife, from which it is feared
be will not recover. Clay was stabbed
mostly about the pit of the stomach.
Both of the parties are young men, and
belong to one of the old pioneer fami-
les of the county, and had never had
any previous MISUNDERSTANDING. Liquor
was at the bottom of the whole affair.

been assigned by his fellow-citizens, adj
vising, counciling, helping, doing what
he could for the sick, the poor
and The needy. He never tired.
He never grew weary Of we'll
doing. His burdens were enough for
a half dozen men, and still they grew.
But they were borne cheerfully, from a
sense of duty, from conviction that 1t
was the right thing to do, from
a profound faith in the future
of the city then bowed to the
earth. He was a noble sentinel on the
watch-tower-sleepless and vigilant.
We never can forget him. But not for
this do We present him as a suita-
ble, as the most available candidate
for mayor of Memphis. His character
for high integrity as business man, the
of his own fortune; his intimate
knowledge of the affairs of the city, his
conscientious discharge of every
public and private trust, his fidelity as
citizen, and friend, these are
the qualifications that commend him
to us, and these are the foundations
upon which we rest his fitness for so
high and responsible an effice. For
these and no other, and because he pos
5esses all these characteristics in a de-
gree pre-eminent over all other men that
have been 80 far named, do We present
10 our citizens the name of J. J. Busby
ior mayor of Memphis.
