Wholesale Murder of Union Men I'm
Texas.

A reliable correspondent of the Boston
Journal writing from New Orleans gives the
following terrible account of the atrocities
of the traitors:
One of the most heinous crimes of which
a man can be guilty in Texas is specializing
in Confederate CURRENCY, which Is held to be
SO sacred that the slightest attempt to de2re-
ciate lis value is punished with death. Bro
kers stand poor chance of getting rich in
that country, where if YOU are simple far
mer. having calf or pig which Your Sc
cesh neighbor Graves. and YOU refuse to sell
for Confederate shinplasters, which NAV be
counterfeit at that. YOU are unceremoniously
treated to a short ride, drop scene at the
nearest tree. and free ticket sent TO Your
family to witness the performance Here is
a case in point. \ man living on the Soiou
river. near San Antonio. was asked If he had
steers to sell. He rel lied in the affirmative.
but added that he preferred not to sell them
for paper money. The next day two men.
well dressed and Of gentlemanly department,
drove up to his house in carriage. and with
an air of the utmost friendship, inquired the
way to some point. The farmer came out
to give the desired information. when he was
siezed, forced into the carriage, and without
permitting the poor man to Did his family
farewell, they hurried him away. Two DAYS
after, his agonized children, wondering at
his long absence, started out in pursuit of
him, when they were Mortified at tin1ing his
lifeiess body suspended to tree. A vener-
able man named Nelson, whose head was sil-
vered o'er with the frost of nearly seventy
winters, and who had amassed snug prop
ertv, believing that the Union of ali the
States would best eonduce to the interest Of
each, was hung. his wife being compelled TO
witness his murder. and then, as if to leave
no habitation in which the ghost of Union.
isl mi ,ht dwell, the murderer burned down
/ the house.
If the foregoing incidents of the horrible
state of affairs in Texas do not furnish a
suitable commentary On the proclamation o.
! JEFF Davis, threatening Gen Butler with
death for the hanging of Mumford. then per
haps the following statement, vouched for by
half dozen men of veracity, several oi
whom we're witness TO the atrocious deed.
Will prove fit rejoinder TO the frothy ebula-
ton of the arcn traitor. Several months
since the Union sentiment cropped out SC
strongly in the counties of Kendall, kimball
Gillispee and Kerr, they were declared to be
in state of rebellion against the Confeder
ate government. and force Of FIVE hundred
armed men under one J. NJ. Duff was senr
into the several counties to crush out tn,
Unioni,ts and confiscate the property o.
every man who refused to take the oath o.
allegiance within ten dayS
huff commenced his bloody work by in
structing his minions not to take prisoner
any man found away from his family. l.
one day he hung sixteen Union men. and
some time after the bodies of FIVE other:
were dragged out of water hole in a creek
near Fredericksburg, each with a stone fas-
tened about his neck. Perhaps the rebe]
