shooting Turhish Spies.

From Bucharest letter.
One of my colleagues who was at
Giurgevo when the affair took place,
gave me an account of an incident
which will explain the extreme cir
cumspection necessary in the grant
ing of the much coveted permission
to follow the operations of the army
of invasion. The country swarms
with spies in Turkish pay; these
are generally Israelites, Of whom
great numbers accompany the rear
guards of the columns as suffers or
peddlers. Two of these werthies
had rendered themselves very con-
spicuous for their iniquity and in
quisitiveness. Naturally they were
suspected and watched, and on Sun
day night were arrested as they
were about to embark in small
boat on the Danube for some un-
known destination. Taken imme-
diately before the provost marshal,
aud interrogated as to their inten.
tions, their answers, at first evasiye,
gradually became embarrassed, as
they had no papers, and the excuse
that they "were going to fish for
Sterlets by torchlight" was not con-
sidered an available one. At last
the younger of the two, a fellow
about twenty years of age, hoping,
doubtless, to save his own life by
the sacrifice of his comrade, ayowod
that they had received money from
the Turks, and that, in spite of the
inundatiOns, they had intended to
cross the Danube in order to make
their report to a person posted at a
certain point on the Bulgarian
shore. This was quite sufficient to
establish their guilt; the court mar
tial pronounced its sentence, and a
platoon of execution was then and
there detailed.
According to my informant, the
behavior of the two culprits was
very different. The elder Of the two,
a man about forty, tall and power
fully built, with strongly marked
featurea, marched out with a
stoicism worthy Of better fate.
His companion, on the contrary,
was the picture of the most abiect
despair. lie threw himself at the
feet of his judges, invoked their
compassion in favor of the reyela-
tions which he had made, called
upon Abraham and Isaac and the
prophets in general to help him,
even offered to abjure his faith if
his life were spared, and fell upon
his face and writhed about hike a
reptile, until he was carried out
bodily and tied to a tree, where he

attack the mob should they venture
to follow US out, whether they
came by rail or other road.
From the time we fired on the
mob and cleared the streets the
citizens Of Pittsburg became prac-
tically unit in bitter and intense
hostility to US. Their militia laid
down their arms and allowed them
to be taken by the howling crowd
to be used against us. Their police
in effect Joined the rioters, and suf-
fered the armory of the militia and
the stores Of the citizens to be ran
sacked for arms and ammunition
to be discharged at us without an
effort to prevent it, even without
an effort to give such advice and
direction as would enable us to
prevent it, which we had shown,
and they we'll knew we were per-
fectly competent to do, and finally,
when compelled by hunger and the
want Of ammunition to leave their
city to its fate, as we withdrew
from the round-house, the only
shelter we had found with them,
and marched through their streets,
they pursued us with yells, curses
and bullets, until the fate of our
dead and wounded comrades again
compelled us to NOW them down.
Their newspapers lied about us,

ants have no business to be where
mobs are, and can be there for no
