FEW MEN will be able to read the let
ters OF Mrs. Tilton in another column
unmoved, and we doubt that there is
even one Of her own sex that will finish
them without the tender sccOmpani-
ment OF tears. The poor woman who
has been treated with contempt by
Beecher and bis sycophsntic and can't
ing crew, and with patronizing pity by
her husband and his fiercely vindictive
council, unable longer to endure the
weight Of oblOquy and dishonor that
both sides have packed her with, makes
al appeal to the court which, passing the
bounds OF form, etiquette and ceremony,
and speaking to The fuller jury Of the
country IN the language Of despair, can
not fsil 10 have lasting effect. One
loses sight Of the criminal, sneskiDg
pastor and the debased and brutal hus-
band in the presence Of these letters,
strong Of purpose, yet as graceful in ex-
preston as II from the hands Of either
Of the artists in words, between whom
Mrs. TiltOn's hopes have been wrecked.
Pity and tears she will have, and in
abundance. The chivalry Of all true,
manly natures will be aroused, and the
womsnhood OF the Union will extend
i.s sheltering arms 10 the woman whose
heart has been crushed between two
monsters Of iniquity.

The Army OF Liberation UndOr the
Walls Of Havana-The Torch and
the Sword.
New York Herald. |

New York Herald.l
The growing proportions OF the Cuban
war are well indicated in our dispatches
from Havana to-day. 1t is now several
months since we were informed that q
body of Cuban rebels had burst through
the famous trOcha, and were marching
westward, hOtly pursued by Spanish
battaliOns. According to the official
accounts received from Havana, they
were flying before their pursuers; for so
the Spanish reports have constantly
represented the Cuban patriots since the
beginning Of the war of independence.
But now, after running away from the
Spanlards for six years, they seem sud-
denly to have formed the curious notion
Of taking refuge in Havana, and in
order to prevent them adopting this des-
perate course, the great Valmaseda
has hastily gathered force of
thirty thousand men to block the
way. What is most curious is that
an enterprising general like Valmaseda
finds it necessary to fOrtify his position
at Colon against those fugitive bands the
Spanish soldiers have been so long pur-
suing. A glance at the map will show
the Importance OF the change that has
taken place in the condition OF the Gu
bans. Two years ago the insurrection
was confined within the limits of the
central and eastern departments. The
few scattered partisans who disturbed
the Giro Villas district were no longer
important, and were wholly unable to
make headway against even the weakest
Spanish column. But to-day an immense
army, almost under the gates Of Hsvana,
is compelled to fortify itself to stop the
progress of the insurgent forces. 1t is
evident that the struggle is rapidly COM
ing to close, for the tactics adopted by
the patriots must soon render Cuba un-
tenable, and Spain will be compelled to
relax her gEasp-just as she was COM
PEELED to abandon the attempt to recon-
quer st. Domingo. The Cuban torch is
Rapidly settling the question. Every
plantation destroyed cripples Spain and
lessons her power to continue struggle
that must end in the freedom of Cuba.

The InduAt.ies of Cairo.

| From an occasional correspondent
CAIRO, ILL. May 81 gathered some
important statistics this evening, which
hasten to communicate to you. Some
Of cur people express astOnishment thai
the Yankees improve their country 50
much more rapidly than we do. Some
Of the facts / give here will show why
this is the case. The scho0l-tax il this
city is IS cents; in the county, outside
Of the city, it is higher, the highest be-
ing in section one, town
ship sixteen, and there it Is 81 40.
The lowest rate in any district in the
county for school purposes is forty
cents, the highest, as before stated,
81 40; the average is 81 80. The rate of
taxation in this city for all purposes is
S4 81; their bonded debt is $40 900;
their floating debt, $50, 600; their taxable
property in the city is: real estate,
81 2l6, $50; personal property, S5l6,-
O85; total, s., 49,, ,9f5; their tax
able property is about six-times
as much as their Indebtedness.
The taxable property of Memphis il, i'll
mistake not, about six times as much as
the Indebtedness Of the city. The inter
est on the bonded debt Of Cairo is paid
promptly, and the debt has been reduced
$4,000 during the past year. Comments
are unnecessary. This town, under all
its natural disadvantages, and they are
innumerable, is growing, and will con-
tinue to grow. This shows what enter
prise will do. A city OF croakers is a
doomed city. Five railroads center here,
and they are anxious to build more.
The finest -four made in the west is
turned out from the Cairo mills, one
mill furnishing one thousand barrels a
day. This in time will be the greatest
supply city for the southern States, IN
less we change our policy and raise our
own supplies. Vegetables appear to be
as far advanced here as in Memphis, and
this city within the leyees, which are
seven miles in length, is the early gar
den for Chicago. II a city can be made
here, what an immense city Memphis
should be.
