favorably with schools in other cour;ies
Your Supt. would have visited a create,
number Of schools, but t,ae roads wer,
very bad, and the weather, as a genera
thing, extremely cold and those schools

very much liked by the people generally
out they are almost universally in favor
of having the law require the County
Superintendent to visit schools.
All of which is most respectfully sub

Horrible Murder by the Arkansas Rebels.
We have already alluded to the TRACE
dy of which the Cairo correspondent of
the St. Louis Democrat gives the follow
ing particulars:
News has just arrived here of anoth-
er murderous and horrible outrage by
the secessionists, traitors, and bells, per-
pctratcd at Mound City, Arkansas, this
week. An old, gray headed man, aged
over sixty years, watchman on board
Of the steamer w. NJ. Morrison, tied up
by the rebels at that place, let slip some
Union sentiments in their presence. He
was soon surrounded by rufians, who
told him that they were going to hang
him forthwith. The poor old man tho't
they were jesting, and said: "Gentle-
men, surely you don't mean what you
say am poor, old gray-hes ded man
always have worked hard and made an
honest living: surely you would not hang
me for the expressions of my old honest
heart"
The poor old man could not believe
that the demons could perpetrate such
a murder till he felt the rope around his
neck The end of the rope was thrown
over the limb of tree, and the demouiac
crowd Of devils pulled him up, strug.
Cling and dying, until dead Several
who were commanded to assist, shrunk
away in horror aud dread. All these
deeds will soon be avenged. These men
regard not even gray hairs, the sacred
rights of families or the tears aud prayers
of widows and orphans. There is no
doubt of this fact being true, as it came
from an eyewitness"

taxes for the purpose of paying the in

proceeding was commenced in the Scott
county District Court by Mr.. Hubbell,
in behalf of large number of the most
