one of the brightest and most genial of our
Winter months Every body wore bright faces
and greeted each other with a cordial Happy
New Year, Business was in a manner sus.
pended after tie middle of the day. and the
community went forth to enjoy the bright sun
shine, so much in contrast with our long and
gloomy spell of weather for month past.
Every body smiled, and smiled again-pro-
duced by the general enjoyment of all around
the boys and girls. by their toys and trinkets,
and the men and women, by their more staid
and substantial mode Of enjoying the day, un-
til the day waXed faint, and all melowed down
in social satisfaction. As the day of the New
Year burst forth so bright and beautiful, so
may our beloved country come forth from the
clouds Of contention that now eushtoud her
peace and prosperity.

IMPORTANT ARREsr.-The St. Joseph Jour
nal of December Sd, announces the arrest of
Reaben Middleton, a resident of that city, by
the order of Gen. Preutiss 1t appears that
Middleton had just arrived from Prices camp,
which he stated had an extent of thirty miles,
and of wonderful force. He was the bearer of
numerous encouraging letters written to rebels
in that vicinity, also, Prices proclamation for
fifty thousand men TO eulist, which, it was be
lieved, he was distributing. The Journal says,
that . the prompt arrest in this case shows
that the time for temporizing with rebels, their
aiders and abettors has passed" The indivi-

OuR MuLATro YIcE PRESIpESr. - The
Memphis Avalanche has an article on the
mulatto" ice President Of the North. 1t
remarks:
We have only been able to account for the
remarkable lukewarmness of Hannibal Hamhn
in regard to this Abolition war, by attrbuting
it TO the general distrust of Abolition sincerity
entertained by his race. With decided intu-
sion of African blood in his veins, a fact never
yet successfully conlroverted, we may suppose
that he shares the sentiments and feelings Of
his African kin. Neither is il improbable that
an instructive sense of the i9congruity and im-
propriety of an individual of negro extraction
ruling over white people induces his reticence
and modesty. Every well bred negro or mu-
latto would shrink from such an anomalous
position as unbecoming and Hannibal may
be supposed to be well bred, having received
an education superior to that usually bestowed
on free muattoes

The Board of Supervisors.

1t has been our practice, heretofore, TO pub
lish synopsis of the proceedings of the Board
at their regular meetiags, for the information
of the people of the county. But such sum-
mary Is not sufficient to give an insight into
many important and lengthy orders made by
the Board, that directly affect large portion
of our people.
Orders have been made. changing the town
ships of The county, in which whole townships
have been annihilated and merged into others.
Still, the people have had no notice of the
changes. Liiigauts complain that no notice of
such changes has been made. and they put TO
costs to learn what everybody ought to be no.
tilted aboat, through the papers We hear
many complaints Of the Board not publishing
more than they do.
The law requires of the Supervisors to pub
lish the quarterly report of the County Treasu-
rer, by the way, as very important matter to
the people Of our county. But no such order
has ever been made by them. By referring to
page 7l5 of Woods Digest, article 3444, it
will be seen that the law is imperative on this
subject; and other items might be enumerated
in which the Board would enlghten our peo-
pie by sending orders TO papers Of the county +;
and, by the way. the Board cannot complain
that all the papers in the county are Union in
their sentiments and principles, or that they
require or demand heavy and unjust charges
for doing their work. One, at least, asks but
what is fair and just, without rafting"
We would say to the Board, that the people
have o greater cause to grumble from your not
publishing your doings, than they would to the
small cost of doing it. Then, gentlemen, ad-
vertise-eyen if you are compelled to do so in a
Secession paper-and thus fulfill the require
ments of the law and its spirit and intention.
JEFF. DAVIS MEssAGE.-This great literary
curiosity is well worth reading and preserving.
1t will have place in history, the Rebellion
Record" and will be forever held up as the
most brilliant specimen Of political mendacity
ever published among an enlightened people.
He says. the nature of the hostilities which
they (U. S. have waged against US must be
characterized as barbarous,n and that the
troops must expect to be dealt with as offend
ers against all law, human and divine" In
other words we understand him to say that he
is right and every body else is wrong, and that
the doctrine taught by the black flag unfured
in South Carolina, is to be the doom of every
United States soldier falling into the rebels
power-death without the benefit of clergy or
burial TIE natural law of retaliation which
his doctrine invokes, will bring about what
they have predicted, but as yet never expert
enced war of determination and subjugation.
May Heaven avert it, bat if it does come, the
curse Of it must rest upon the traitors head.
If such documents are required from the
head OF the Rebellion to keep alive the rebel
cause and give strength to its back bone-its
days are numbered and will soon expire.

so that France has offered herself as mediator
in our difficulties Can there be any such
thing on the part Of the rebels, without wholly
repudiating JEFF. Davis and his recent lying

quarter. And on the other hand, the United
