tion, this is undoubtedly the ease, still we
believe the time has could when torture
and barbarity should cease to exist;
and we very much fear that the fifty
persons, shot at Ilavana, were not honor
ed with a proper trial, or executed merely
to subserve the ends of justice. But
if legal formalities have been complied with,
this govorutOent cannot object to the exe

other country, until they certainly discov

oppressive yoke, and would show her faith

The Cuban Revolution.
Since our last paper was issued we have
received intelligence from Cuba, that tho
expedition to that island under Gen. Lo
pez has not only been baffled, but totally
destroyed. Not a man has come hack to
tell the talc of his sufferings, or gladden
the heart of a friend. Lopez himself was
taken in a private house at St. Chrietoval,
into which ho had fled, in order to take
some rest, and carried to Havana, where
he was publicly executed, in presence of
an immense crowd of spectators. In hon
or of the occasion ; the houses of the city
of Havana were illuminated, processions
marched through the streets ; with torch
lights, and the whole scene was one of
rejoicing. The remnant of the invading
force was taken prisoners by the Spanish
after having made their last meal on the
horse of Gen. Lopez. They have been
condemned to work in the wines. Two
Lundred and fifty of the invading force
Lave been shot by the Spanish. It is said,
and we believe it to be true, that the in
vaders were successful in every battle
they fought, and that in the different en
gagements, in which they participated, they
kilned two thousand of the Spanish troops.
It appears to he entirely certain that
there was no rising of the inhabitants of
Cuba, and no apparent dpsire on the part
of the people to throw off the Spanish
yoke. Lopez complained that he had
been deceived, as to the extent of the dis
affection, and there is no doubt, that if
his efforts had been seconded by the Cuban
population to even a moderate degree,
the expedition would have been successful.
His men evidently fought with great bra
very and impetuousness, and if they had
been backed by any recognized government,
even to the extent of permitting arms and
munitions to be sent to them, the flag of
liberty might now be waving over an en
franchised country. Some of his soldiers
have written home, that Lopez deceived
them, when no doubt both they and their
commander wore too sanguine and permit-
Led themselves to be deceived. We are
Heartily sorry at the terrible doom that
the invaders met, but at the same time, as
they had no flag, but one of their own
make, to flutter over their heads, the gov

bound to protect them. They went, against
and in spite of the wishes of the govern-

Rev..l.T. Itlct
A meeting of the Students of Milnwooil
Academy was held iu the Academy hall
on Thursday, the 4th inst., relative to
the death of their honored Principal, the
Rev. J. Y. 3101 ism Es. On motion. Jas.
Reed, jr. was called to the chair, and
Wm. A. Gray appointed Secretary.
The following preamble and resolutions
were read by D. Henry Barron, and unan
imously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Almighty disposer of
events having in his providence seen fit to
remove our beloved Principal to himself,
wo realize the melancholly fact that we
have met with a calamity of no ordinary
character. We feel that death in his fear
. .
ful ravage has created a void which this
world can never fill—that we, as his pu
pils, have been deprived of a friend and
,instructor, whose kind and earnest regard
for our mental and moral improvement,
bound us to him as children to a common
father. We feel, too, that in his death
society has been deprived of a shining or
nament—education of au able and ardent
supporter, and the eltristian religion of an
earnest and devoted minister. Well in
deed may a cloud of gloom hang over and
around us—well indeed may ours be the
tears of heartfelt sorrow. Talents devo
ted to the cause of religion—influence ex
erted for the welfare of mum•—and moral
worth as an example for us all, have been
in the meridian of usefulness swept from
our midst, and it is meet that we should
grieve, for we feel deeply our bereave
ment. And whereas, the interest with
which our honored principal ever regarded
our common welfare, demands a final and
public acknowledgement, therefore
Resolved, That as members of the in
stitution so suddenly deprived of its wor
thy Principal and founder, we shall ever
cherish in grateful remembrance his earn
est endeavors to promote our common
welfare, and to advance our temporal and
spiritual interests.
Resolved, That the loss of a generous
friend, a kind father and an affectionate
husband, demands our warmest sympathy
for the bereaved family and relatives of
the honored dead. _
Resolved, That in view of our common
affliction, and as a token of respect to the
memory of our departed Principal, the
members of this institution wear the usual
badge of mourning during the remainder
of the present session.
Resolved, That copies of the proceed
ings be forwarded for publication to the
papers of Shippensburg, Chambershurg,
Huntingdon, and WConnellsburg, and
a copy to the "Presbyterian" of Philadel
phia.
On motion, adjourned.

BY VIE GOVERNOR
A. L. RUSSELL;
Sec'y of the Commonwealth
Above we publish the proclamation of
Gov. Johnston, announcing that the Sink
ing Fund in the two years and a half it has
been in opperation, has paid $659,122 98
of the public debt. This is not the total
reduction of debt effected by Gov.John
eton. How much has been paid will be
seen by a comparison of the amount of
public debt on Nov. 30, 1848, and the
amount on September 1, 1851. In 1848
the debt was as follows
Funded

1849 and '5O, being debts

eemter, 1848,
40,848,49 S 41
d debt N0v.30, '4B,
In stating the debt duo at that time, the
Locofocos purposely omit to count the
floating debt of $373,801 48, which was
contracted illegally under Gov. Shank's
administration, which was not known
to exist until after Gin. Johnston took
office, and which, as directed by the Le
gislature, Gov. Johnston has paid in
full ! ! The public debt, when Gov.
Shunk left office, was $40,848,598 41, be
ing $137,794 82 less than when he went
into office four years before, the whole of
this reduction having resulted from the
payment of a debt which bore no inter
est.
See what the public debt now is. The
official records prove it to be as follows
Amount of funded debt, inclu

This proves that Gov. Johnston, in the
two years and a half since he was inaugura
ted, has paid SEVEN HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE DOL
LARS AND NINETY-SEVEN CENTS
($732435 97) of the debt of the Common
wealth!! !
In the same time appropriations have
been made to the North Branch canal;
over two hundred and forty thousand dol
lars were paid to the permanent improve
ment of the Columbia railway; four hun
dred thousand dollars were applied to an
avoidance of the Inclined Plane at the
Schuylkill, and various other amounts
wore appropriated, which have placed the
public works in better repair than they
ever was before.
These are the results of Gov. Johnston's
administration. Noble results they are,
and well do they entitle Gov. Johnston to
the reputation of the first public servant,
under whose rule a considerable amount of
the public debt was paid, the public cred
it maintained, and the public honor pre
served!—Daily ✓lmericaan.
"A Sou an Currency."—The Looofocol
presses are beginning to harp again about
a "sound currency." Tho less they say
about that the bettor for themselves. The
intelligent voters all know that under
their "Democratic" Tariff of 1846, the
country is being drained at a fearful rate
of its soundest currency—the silver dol
lars and half dollars, quarters and dimes—
to pay the British "Lords of the Loom
and Work shop" for the manufactures of
their half-starved operatives. If this
don't disturb the currency they need have
no fears about it. But if it does, as we
think it will, the people understand where
the fault lies, and will apply the corrective.
Harp on.--Pills. Goz.
Read these Facts, and see if Gov
ernor Johnston has not done his
Full Duty.
One thing is giving the Looofocos groat
trouble. It is the faot that Gov. Johnston
has collected annually, less tax from the
Real Estate of the Commonwealth than
his Locofoco predecessor. Hero is the
proof taken from the Auditcr General's
Report for last year:
Gov. Shunk received
From real estate in 1845,
Do. 1846,
Do. 1847,
Do. 1848,
Total in four year,
Annual average,
Gov. Johnston received
From real estate in 1849,
Do. 1850,
Total in two years,
Annual average,
Gov. Johnston has received over SIX
TY-SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
less annually, from Real Esate, than Gov.
Shunk ! ! Yet with less money from this
source, and less clear money from the
public works, Gov. Johnston has paid in
Iwo years $538,203 67 of the public debt,
whilst Gov. Shook in four years, paid but
$137,794 82 ! !
The income from the tax on Real E
state should have been greater now than
heretofore, for the Revenue Commisioners
of 1848 increased the valuation of proper
ty in the State over the valuation in 1845,
$43,477,257 00. The rate of taxation
has not teen increased, but the same rate
on 43,477,257 increase of valuation, should
have produced a large increase, of revenue.
Instead of an increase, we find in the
above, that less money was received from
313,861 48
this source in 1850, than in 1845! ! The
*Mt is there in bold relief. Nono can
contradict it GOV. JHONSTON HAS
RECEIVED LESS MONEY FROM
THE FARMERS, AND YET PAID A
MUCH LARGER PROPORTION OF
THE STATE DEBT THAN ANY PRE
CEDING LOCOFOCO ADMINISTRA
TION ! Remember this fact when the
time for voting arrives:
What a Mineral:tee a few Years
Make.
Mr. J. 11. Snowden in the former of
she two letters he recently' , wrote about
the public debt, said :
would seem as if Gov. Johnston has
got the bright idea, that every dollar that
goes into the Sinking Fund diminishes the
State debt; whereas it is only taking it
from one pocket and putting it into anoth
,„.
We exposed the absurdity of this a few
days ago. We will now bring J. R. Snow
den to prove that J: R. Snowdon did no t
always think this about Sluicing Funds.
In his Treasury Report in 1846, Mr.
Snowden recommended a Sinking Fund,
and a tax of ten cents por ton on Anthra
cite Coal. lie spoke of the advantages
of a Sinking Fund as follows—(See Report,
Senate Journal, Vol. 2, p. 12):
" The first dollar that would go into the
Sinking Fund, would be evidence of our
safety, and every citizen would breathe
more freely. Every species of property,
and over variety of business would ad
vance under its in ; and whilst the
debt would be diminishing, the public redo
flues would bo increasing, and thus the
prosperity of the Commonwealth and that
of her citizens promoted, for they aro in
separable from each other."

659,122 98
$40,116,362 44
$40,848,598 41
40,116,362 44
This is sensible. If Mr. Snowden had
not desired to pervert and deceive, he
would have spoken of Gov. Johnston's
Sinking Fund in the same manner. The
cases differed in this. In the one ease he was
praising his own foresight in making such
a suggestion. In the other, he would
have given credit to a man who; without
boasting and self-gratulation, has done
more for Pennsylvania than any Governor
she ever had. The difference in the cases
allowed Mr. Snowden to sustain a Sinking
Fund in the one, and ridicule it in the
other. We leave Mr. Snowdon with the
worst possible company—that of his own
candor and fairness.—Daily ✓lmerican.

thing else, wo have a repugnance to give
it a fulsome adulation, or to recommend it
