Holmes and Hindman, who have been
sent east of the Mississippi.
Sterling Price is the most formidable
man the Secessionists could present TO
the Federal cause in Missouri. He is
bold and able, and enjoys the implicit
confidence of his followers.
Missouri must now be watched. Will
he be allowed to approach her borders
with anything like respectable ARMY
IT any man can work apparent impossi

A Picture Well Drawn.

Edmund Burke, while Great Britain
was prosecuting the war against the
American Colonies, wrote the following
to the Sheriffs of Bristol:
"The poorest being that crawls on earth
contending to save himself from injustice
and oppression, is an object respectable
to God and man. But cannot con.
ceive any existence under heaven, (which
in the depths of its wisdom tolerates all
sorts of things,) that is more truly odious
than an impotent, helpless creature,
without civil wisdom or military skill;
without O consciousness Of any qualifica-
he is not to fight; contending for vio-
lent dominion he can never exercise; and
satisfied to be himself miserable in order
to make others wretched."
Lincoln's tyranny over his own sub
jects, drew from Senator Wall, of New
jersey the foregoing truthful piSssre Of
the Northern Dictator, though the words
were. written nearly century ago, and
applied to another who was calling for
battles he was not to fight, and contend.
ing for dominion he was not to exercise.
Verify, a more truly odious. impotent,
and helpless creature, without civil wis
dom Or military skill, invested with pow.
er, does not now breathe in all Chrlsten-
dom, than the Northern usurper is. Had
Edmund Burke lived in this day and
time, he could not have drawn more
truthful picture of the bastard that now
enslaves the North, and would the South,
had he the power to carry out his malig-
nant will.-AAanta Inteilgencer

Yankee Atrocities.

A wounded Confederate prisoner, re-
leased, writing from Crumfordville, Mis-
sissippi, to the Mobile Regis err. says;
Several Federal scouting parties have
made very destructive raids throughout
Tishomingo county. They committed
the most wanton outrages on persons and
property. They have treated unprotect
ed ladies in the most outrageous and cru
ell manner imaginable. In one instance.
while lady was endeavoring to prevent
one of those ruffians from taking a little
money, all she was possessed of, she was
struck by him on the hand with a sabre
Her hand was literally mashed. Not con-
tent with that worse than demoniac act,
they made her carry her wardrobe and all
her furniture into the yard and put the
flaming torch to it herself. This is fact.
1t was told me by the father-in-law of the
outraged lady, an old man on the verge
of the grave, who solemnly swears to be
avenged on the first bastard renegade he
meets. Acts of this nature are of daily
occurrence, and in nearly every case com.
mitted by those renegades from North
Mississippi and North Alabama. They
ought to be summarily dealt with when
ever captured.

From Texas.

1t is said that there is for sale in Texas
at this time. surplus, above home uses,
o: two hundred thousand head of cattle,
of the average weight of eleven to twelve
hundred pounds, which may be bought
at thirty dollars per head. Cattle Of this
description have heretofore been driven
from Texas to California, for the San Fran
cisco market, also to Illinois, where they
have been Stalled for New York. Du-
ring last year the cost OF driving bull
lock from Texas to the Mississippi river,
was an average of five dollars. Horses
for the drivers can BIO bought at about
one hundred dollars. Six mon can drive

The New Tax Bill.

This tax bill may be considered o part
OF the price that we have to paw for ma.
tional independence. Who will saw thaf
the bargain is costlyf Other people have
borne greater burdens, when the object
was of doubtful advantage. Besides we
have this consolation: How heavy soever
the tax may be, it will not amount TO
more thana fraction of what we have an
nually paid. indirectly, to the Yankees.
The country will blossom like the rose,'
