with American coIors and tri-colored lanterns.
A band played national and patriotic airs be
fore Gen Buford's headquarters, which build
ing is beautifully decorated with flags, and
also brightly Illuminated
IN fact it is impossible to repress the enthu-
siasm of the people.
An order has been issued by Gen. Buford

five guns at noon tomorrow, in further COM
memoration of the grand event-the reopen
ing Of the Mississippi, at least to Port Hud-

District No =. sOmeIs The closing exer-
cises of the Spring term of this school, under the
charge Of Mr.. Robert Graham, were held on Thurs
day Of last week. The reputation OF Mr.. Graham
as a teacher is too well known to require comment
The exercises were attended by large number
of the patrons of the school as well as outsiders,
and consisted principally of essays and decla ma
tons. interspersed with vocal music. To partie~
ular re where all did nobly, would be futile at
tempt; suffice it to say that the whole course OF
exercises would not compare unfavorably with
similar courses in many ofour higher institutions
At the close, Mr. Graham was taken by sur
prise, in the presentation of an Elegant Photos
graphic Album. The presentation was made in
behalf of the scholars by Miss Hattie Holbrook,
accompanied by an appropriate speech from Mas.
ter Her bert Lee, (which responded to by Mr.
G in a few affecting ana well timed remarks. The
whole scene was impressive and happy in its ef
iects on the school and patrons and evinoed theil
true appreciation of the merits of their teacher,
This district has been noted for several years
for their enterprise and determination to emplo!
noae but first class teachers, and from the reputa
ton which the school has sustained we may safe
ly Judge of its success.

two terms of the year was under the able tuition
of Mr. RoBT. GRAHAM, enc of the most efficient
and accomplished teachers we have ever had in

out the best class of,pupls for the High School,

CAMP OF 20th Ill. INFANTRY IN
REAR OF VlcKsBuRa, Mss. JUNE 16,
1663.-Io our friends.
EDITOR PLAIN DEALR: Sir, as nv
last letter was found worthy of room in
your columns; ask leave to have .
few more articles published. should it
he your purpose. Al I am here in tho
army and feel it my duty to inform
our democratic friends 1T home, and a.
it is generally thought that our army is
made up Of tho 50 called republican
party. But am proud to announce
that our ranks are swslled with the
old democratic stock and principle. We
are Union men and say let US have
peace, and had we the freedom of the
ballot box, We would soon show tho
party in power what our sentiments
are. But as long a. Mr. Lincoln and
lis negro radicals administer the
government, We will have no peace,
for in the way the war IS waged it is
tho sole purpose of tho delusivs csms-
gogues Of the government to tear it
down, not earring how large the human
slaughter may be, - the down trodden
aud inferior rsce-the Africans-aro
set at liberty. The whiskey bloats or
abolitionists that are in command Of
our army are fighting for 800, and
upwards, instead OF their country
Such men, if they can be called men,
have secret meetings and frame reso-
lutlons, pass round the whiskey bottle,
and then send in reports that tho Ind.
or ILL.,, boys are republican throughout
and boast through their party papers
of the democratic defeats by the sold
iers. Such delueive men have become
despissble in tho presence of our patri-
otls soldiers that are in the ranks, and
We would disclose the i,nbec;lity Of Ill
lcmagogues. Will Mr.. Lincoln con-
tinus to impose upon the rights of The
people In this way, for the purpose of
packing Congress with the advocates
ofpublic ruin. We demand that he
should change his policy, and We doubt
whether the people at the north will
longer tolerate q persistence in tho
course which has wrought the destruct-
ion now 80 apparent on every hand
Such demagogues should be execrated
and driven from the presence of God
and man. We have no patience to
speak in milder terms. Too many Of
our noblest and bravest boys have been
slaughtered through the combined stu
pidity and incap ,city of Mr.. Lincoln
and his negro radicals. They have to
long triaed with the very existence Of
the nation.
Very truly yours, R. G. 8.
