The true history of the worse than savage
barbarities practiced on Union men and fami-
lies by the rebels in vairious portions Of the
South, will appear quite incredible in future
generations. Some Ofthe atrocities particular
ly of the Arkansas rebels, are almost beyond
belief at this time. A correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat, with General Curtis army,
writing from Batesville, Ark, on the 18th inst,
says that the rebel authorities at Bayou Matre 4"
sixteen miles from Little Rock, hung six men
who refused 10 obey the eonseription act. He
also learns from the Rev. Jas. Longhilridge, a
WELL known Presbyterian minister, that on or
about the 22d OF last April, Messrs Shultz and
Reed, ministers of the Christian order, were ta-
ken from their own premises, on Rolls Ridge,
Benton county, Arkansas, conveyed to the
woods in the night and killed. They had Just
returned from Cassville and were Union men.
About the 18th of May, Mr.. Neal was shot in
his own house, near Fayetteville and died in
three hours He was Union man and had ad-
hered to the Methodist Church when it split
A report came to Huntsville about the 18th Of
May, that four men, all adherents of the old
Methodist Episcopal Church, and some Of them
ministers, were killed near Fayetteville, and 9th
er men of the same sentiments were threatened.
In the fall Of 1861, in Van Bnren county, twen-
ty -seven Union men, and persons unwilling "a
take mp arms We're chained together by the
neck, and in Searey county, eighty three were
served In the same way and in this manner ta-
ken to Jail where they were kept nearly six
months. These statements are authenticated
by the afidayits of tho men so punished.

In an able speech lalcly made by Mr..
Edgerton, Member of Congress from the
Summit District, upon "The New Conspir-
acy," in the reorganization of The Democra.

other proofs of his sympathy for treason
the following:

We had intended to,make some answer to one
or two articles which appeared in the Messenger
during our absence at Pittsburg landing, but
upon reviewing them we cannot see that there
is any use in in it. The editor of that sheet
says, if we understand him, that he is in favor
ofrepeabng the laws passed by the present
Congress, and that he rejects the views Of his
party in this county. That is, he is in favor Of
restoring slavery IN the District of Columbia;
in favor Of opening up our territories to the
slave driver; in favor ofrspealing the Homestead
Bill in favor Of repealing the Presidents Eman-
oipation, Resolution; in favor of repeating the
CoRfscation Bill; in favor of repealing the law
calling out volunteers for the war; opposed TO
tax lawto support the war, DC, DC. We say
we understand this TO behis position, from a
careful reading OF the article. If we are in err
