There is said to bo a very prudent

THE SICKENING DICTA I L3 BY AN EYE
WIINESS. Capt, Pryor, ot the brig Azalla, which
arrived at her dock in New York har
bor, n few dnys ago, from Santiago de
Cuba, states that ho was the only Ame
rican who witnessed the massicro of
the 37 passengers and crew of the Vlr
gtnlus, Including Capt. Fry, 011 tho
nfternoon of November Glh, and that
the accounts previously publisher! were
more or less Incorrect. He says :
I brought Hie Azalla toaiichor ln San
tiago de Cuba harbor, outside of the
fort, on the morning of November fi, and
sent for permission from the ntltlioilties
to moor the brig alongside tlio quay. or
wharf, which runs out some distance
into the harbor. There is only one
wharf, and nil vessels receive and tils
charge their enrgoes on It. The head
of the whaif is lelt clear for landing.
I had been so busy getting tho brig
abreast of the the wharf that I ill. I not
notice anything unuscal lu tho town or
harbor But after the brig had been
secured, I saw the Vlrginlulying under
the guns of the tort, and the men-of-war
and gunboats were anchored in a semi
circle about her. I was then told by
the masters of the other ves-els which
lay nt the wlinrf that three, men fiom

As soon as they wele landed the body

from the head of tlie wharf.
The pilsoners expected to bo released
Immediately, aud were lu the best of
spirits, laughing and Joking with each
other, wholly unprepwed for the terri

acted. At tlio prison 87 were selected, In

THE BUTCIIEItY.
The ofUcer lu command of the firing
party, who stationed himself on the
rlelit of his men, ordered tlie prisuneis
to kneel. Capt.nFry took otf his hat as'
he knelt, and a volley from the firing
party at once lollowcd, The victims
tell 011 their faces, the shrieks of the
wounded tilled the air. and Ihe settle
was the most Jiorrible I ever witnessed.
Nor words or pen can dcscilbe it. While
the wounded were wilthlng In their
agony, the tirlngi party advanced and
fired six more volleys iito tli.lr vi:tlms.
The hist shuts' wero fired with the muz

Tho Intolerance of the established
church Is Illustrated by tho caso of tho
three Baptist preachers who' were ar
raigned as "disturbers of tho peace'
before magistrates who were determined
to convict them. Patrick Henry rodo
fifty miles to defend them, and the'.fol

once it was more than a speech on
that occasion.
Ho entered tlio court house while the
prosecuting attorney was reading the
I ml let men t. Ho vyas n stranger to most,
of the spectators, and being dressed in
the country manner, his entranco excit
ed no remark.' When tlio prosecutor
had finished his brief, opening, the new
comer took the indictment, and glanc
ing at it with an expression of puzzled
incredulity, began .to speak In tlie tone
of a man who had heard something too
astonishing for belief.
"May It please your worships, I think
I heard read by tho prosecutor, as I
entered the house, tho paper I nowihold
In my hand. If I have rightly, under
stood, the King's attorney has fintned
an Indictment for the purpose of hp.
ralgning and punishing by Imprison-!
nieiit these three Inoffensive persons'
before tlie bar of this court. for in.crlme
of great magnitude as disturbers ol the
peace. May it please the court,, what
did I hear rend? Did I hear ltdlstlnct-,
ly, or was it a mistake, of my own? Did
I heat an expression as of n .crline,
these men, whom ypur worships, wo
atiout to try for misdemeanor, nnd,
charged with with with what?
Having delivered these woids In a,
halting, broken maniier, as if, ills mind,
was staggering qiuler the weight of n
monstrous Idea, ho lowered his voice to,
tlie deepest bas3,:and assuming the, pro-,
fiiundest solemnity of manner, answered)
his own question: "Preaching .tho.Gos
pel of the Son of Godl"
Then he paused. Every eyowasnow
rivlted upon him, and every mind Into'
It for all this was executed n.ICcan or n
Slddons would have performed it on the'
stage ayo, voice, nttltudo, gesture, all
in accord to produce tlio utmost possi-.
bllity of effect. Amid a silence that
cnu'd bu felt, lie waved the Indictment
three times around his head, ns though
still amazed, stll unable to comprehend
the charge.
Then ho raised his hands to Heaven,
and In a tone ot pathetic energy wholly
lndescrlbablo exclaimed, "Great Godl"
At tills, pnint, such was the power ot
Ids delivery, the audience relieved their
feelings by n burst of sighs and tears.
The orator continued:
"May it please your worships, In a
day like tills, wli.cn truth is about to
burst her fetters, when mankind aro,
about to be aroused to claim their natu
ral and Inaliciihble rights, when the
yoke of oppression that has reached tho.
wilderness of America, and the unnatu-'
ral alllanca of ecclelastlcal nnd civil
ppwer are about lo be dissevered at
such a period, when liberty, libeity oft
conscience, is about to awake from lier
slumbrilugs, audinquiroiuto tlie reason,
of such charges as I find exhibited here
to-day, in tills Indictment," Here oc-.
curred another of his appalling pauses,
during which ho cast piercing looks at'
the Judges and thu three clergymen nri'
ralgned. Then resuming he thrilled
every hearer by ids favorite repetlton:.
"If I am not deceived according to the.
contents of the paper I now hold in toy
hand, these men are accused of preach.i
Ing tlio Gospel of the Sou of God?" He,
waved the document three! times nrouud
his head ns though still lot In wonder,,
and then with the same'electric'attltudo.
of appeal to Heaven, he grsped, "Great'
God!"
This was followed by another' burst
of feeling from the spectators; and again'
this master of effect plunged 'into tba
