THE WAR IN MISSOURI

We see, by late Geographic news, that
the glorious old State of Missouri is now
defending herself against wrongs lniilct-
ed upon her by the. pompous Lincoinite
Government. We have always thought
she was with us, hand and heart, and
now ave know it. She has only been
holding back. in hopes of seeing re-
action in favor of the cause Of re-unitlng
these States again. Seeing no chance
of that, and being over-taxed by the
wrongs that Mr.. President Lincoln and
that great old hypocrite, " iifiield
Scott. have seen fit to impose upon her,
her gallant Governor has concluded that
discretion has ceased to be virtue.
He has declared war and taken the tent
ed field against alinvaders OF Missourrs
soil. and right good use is he making OF
the sword. He is hardly IN the tented
field. with his gallant Missourians around
him, ere he attacks, kills, wounds and
makes prisoners Of about one thousand

on the dollar on the real and personal
property of the city for the purpose of ia
king up City Improvement Bonds. The
following is the action had in the premises

ing resolution
Resolved, That there is hereby levied
upon the real and personal property in the
City Of Watertown for the year 1861, SIX
mills on the Dollar to be applied under
the order of the Common Council to take
up City Improvements Bonds. ~
Aid. Dennis offered the following amend
ment by adding, At price not exceeding
fifty cents on the dollar including arrears
of interest and excepting those Bonds
which were issued for the purchase o.
school house sites, and the Mayor is here
by authorized to reconvey the said lots te
the holders of said bonds upon the surren.
der of the same Amendment adopted.
Aid Dennis offered to amend the reso-
luton by striking out six mills and insert
ing FIVE mills. Amendment lost The
resolution vas then adopted as amended
by the following vote: Ayes-Bergen
Dennis, Larkin, May, I. Prentiss, Quent
meyer. Schatz aud Weber-Noes--Spald
ing and Steele.
We have nothing in particular to say
against this further than that in our iudg
ment i would have been better bad tht
tax spoken of been imposed for the pur.
pose Of carrying on our city schools, and
the City Improvement Bonds been left fol
! future consideration. 1t seems to us to b,
matter of far more Importance that tn,
children of the city should be educated thar
that the public money should be appropri
ated to the buying up of the Bonds Spoken
Of. and the children permitted to run a
large with the school houses closed agains
them. We fear bat the leyying of thi:
tax viii be urged as an argument
against the raising of a special tax fol-
school purposes, for if we are correctly in
formed the tax is now already as high a:
it is legal to make it. We shall be glad
to near that we are mistaken in this and
that the Common Council VIII take some
measures to keep the city schools in opera
ton, at least through the winter months.
The above Is the only action of the coun-
oil relating to Improvement Bonds thus
far, and cur readers will be kept posted
on the subject.
