following resolution by unanimous vote
Resolved That the events of the past years have
only confirmed the conviction expressed by this Con-

OUTRAGEs BY TIE ENEMY.--We publish the
report Of the select committee of the Confederate
Senate detailing the outrages committed by the
enemy upon southern citizens. The report only
embraces part Of four States, North Carolina, S.
Carolina, Alabama and Arkansas. Its statements
are correct and show that the people who max
ing war upon actuated by base, savage and
brutal motives. They are now praying that famine
may came upon our land, and their hirelngs are
engaged i'll destroying mills and farming imple-
mcnA in order to starve even the women and chill
drrn Of the South. They cannot whip brave
soldiers in a fair fight and therefore resorting
to modes unknown to civilized warfare to accom-
pli,h their hesh objects We hope every south
ern newspaper will publish the Report alluded to-
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE.-Southern people
apt to conceive the idea that the Northern Govern
mcnt is about being burst up because some of the
people and presses of that section engaged in
denouncns, and abusing the Lincoln administration.
But might not northern people entertain the idea
that the Southern Government was being sundered
and demolished because southern presses denounce
and abuse the Davis administration Some people
here in the South are just iippant in their abuse
of the Confederate administration any one at the
North is in abuse of the yankee administration.
1t IL no uncommon thing to see our authorities de-
ndurced US "tyrauts by certain newspapers pub
lshcd iii the South-all of which is greedily copied
into northern papers. If we derive any corisula-
ton from the declarations of northern orators and
presses, think the enemy is encouraged and
grattird by the conduct of some of our people,
who allow malice and revenge to control their
better Judgment.

has been delivering in this place during the
past week course of lectures on Phrcnology
and kindred topics. He san eloquent speak
er, and the able manner in which he treats
his subjects, show that he has given them
hard study and deep research. He has a
freshness and originality about him that is
very pleasing to an audience, and the crowd
ed houses that greet him each night testify to
this. lie will be here several days yet and
we advise all that can to hear him, for even
though you cannot agree with him in all that
he says, for he ofttimes steps aside from the
beaten path, and zealously combats long es-
tablishcd prejudices, and, we might say ,prin-
ciples, still it will do you no harm to hear
the reverse of your own opinions, especially
when the subject will be treated ia learned
and dignliod manner. He lectures tonight

Death Of Jas. s. Norhup.-This well
known conductor on the d. & s. G. r. r.
died in Dubuque on Tuesday morning of
this week. His disease was quick consump-
ton, contracted about year since, at the
time when his train was so long blockatled
by snow. This event is fresh in the minds
of most Of our citizens, and we all remember
what super human oxcrtions he made to open
the road and get his train through. The Du-
buque Herald, in an obituary notice of him
says:
lie was well known among the railroad
men in the West, and was universally pop
uiar, never offending any one, doing his
duty at all times, and ever true, faithful
generous friend. His good deeds stand as a
monument to his memory more beautiful
than marble columns lrttercd with gold
lie ran the pioneer train west OF the Missis
| sippi at this place, and never lost but on,
day by sickness until within the last 81,
months.
No more deserving tribute to his mcmor,
can be paid than he was good man, trl,.
man, an honest man, and friend to tn,
poor.

pursued BY our County Board, at the Janua.

tccrs, and the Secretary of the meeting was
directed to forward the same to us for publ
cation in the GAZETTE. The article appears
on second page. At the time the article was
written the soldiers had not learned of the
extra session at which the measure referred
to was rescinded. The boys express their
disapprobation of the action Of the Board in
very strong terms. The injustice done them
is plainly stated, and truthfully portrayed
ana we have no doubt but that this expires.
sion on their part will have a salutary influ-
ence upon future legislation Of the Board on
this subject We have been inclined to the
belief that the Board did NOT fealfy intend to
DO any injustice to the volunteers from the
county, but did,unwittingly do SO bynot prop.
erly approaching the pauperizing and humil.
at'ng terms imposed BY their acts. But we
are on the right track now, and We hope that
IN the future there will be no cause for com
plant, -and We believe there will not. for Il
is our opinion that q majority Of the Board
at least, wish sna intend to do the fair th;n'
in this respect.
