was told by an eyewitness Of the scene in
Texas. ...z; - ..,,; -.
"A Union man, OF Yankee, as he was
called, had been taken out by the Texans
and hanged before the very eyes of his
family. They then cut him down, cut of
his legs and his head cut him open, took
the fat, tried it out and put it in phials to
oil their revolvsrs took out his heart, put
it into a jar; took the scalp from his head,
then boiled the head till the meat was re-
moved, then nailed the skull to- a board
fence, and putting ascandls in each eye, in
the evening they had dance in front of
it, and as they promenaded up to it, the
chivalrous gentlemen would ask their
partners how they liked their Yankee can

school District Clerks.

There appears to be q general misunderstand-
ing among the School District Clerks Of this
county in regard to their duty, and for their in
formation We would refer them to the amended
School Lsw Of 1853, which requires the School
Clerks to deliver to the County Clerk, on or be-
fore the 18th Of Augsst, in each year. . certified
g statement of the percentage levied in their dis
trist for School House fund; and Teachers wages;
AMI they shosld say in their statement what
amount was levied for each purpose.
Section "a Of the Act of 1862, provides that
the School District Clerks shall on or before the
18th day Of September, make out and deliver to
the County Superintendent statement showing
the number of children, male and female, resid-
ing in his School District over the age of FIVE
and under the age Of tweuty-one. 1t is all i'm
portant that the School Clerks should observe
their duties in regard TO these two important
provisions of the Law, for in case Of q failure
or neglect to comply with the Law, the School in
such district where the neglect occurs, will be
deprived of their portion Of the School funds.

Aurora Loyalty.

The Aurora Times is terribly down on
those members of the Convention who
make " Star-spangled speeches" 1t talks
about Bulls of Bashan," "grOveling ma
lures" forcing doctrines down the
throats Of opponents "wounding their
feelings and injuring their interests" etc.
This editor, whose feelings are wound
ed and his interests injured by those Bulls
of Bashan, who force their obnoxious
patriotism down his Copper-ined throat,
SAYS:
ITO our old-hshioncd way of thinking a
citizen can be true and faithful to the Gov
eminent, without blowing and believing
about it like BaShau bull; or, as in times
of old, proclaiming il from the houSe-tops.
4 better and surer way of displaying the vir-
tue of patriotism is to honestly follow the
straight path of duty, each man pursuing
that course which his own conscience points
OUT as right and best for his country; per-
forming, quietly and without ostentation, all
his duties as an American citizen"
The "old-faShioned patriotism and 10y
atty of the Times consists in long puff
of Beriah Browns Democratic Press.
That kind of loyalty is too "old-fash-
Toned" altogether for these times. 1t
went out of date when James Buchanan's
friends, by and with the advice of Frank
Pierce, fred on Fort Sumter.

Our neighbor of the Bulletin and the
Rev. Mr.. Evans of the NJ. E. Church
South, are at loggerheads, and through
the columns of that paper are quoting
Scripture like the Devil. eve say this
not profanely, but simply because that
parsonage is famous for his aptness at
quoting Holy WITTY Whether or not
the peculiar institution" is supported
by Divine Authority, we are not theolo-
gian enough to decide. We have, how
ever, in our sanctum, a copy Of sermon
delivered at a camp-meeting more than
eighteen hundred years ago, in which &C.
ours this passage:
Therefore all things whatsoever We would
that men should do to you, do you even so
to them; for this is the law and the pro-
phetS."
The Preachers name was Jesus Christ,
Nazarene, but as the Light of Chival-

are inclined to believe he did not belong

WASHINGTON, Nov. l7.-On Sunday morn
ing, Cavalry Division of Fitzpatrick s, under
command of Bastel, recOnnoitred along the
Rapidan to Raccoon Ford to ascertain whe-
Their the Rebels had fallen back to GOrdons-
vile. They were met by few guns from
the rebel entertainments which were soon ST.
fenced. Two small parties of Rebel Sharp
shooters were discovered in the lower rife
pits. The river was much swollen by Satur-
days storm, so our Cavalry returned. 1t was
reported on Thursday, that a rebel force
crossed the Rappahannock and attacked Kill
patrick. Richmond information is that two
divisions of Hills Corps had left the Rapi-
dan and gone southwaEd whittier, not known.
The President and Mrs. Lincoln leave to-
morrow for Gettysburg.
New YORK, Nov. ia Fortress Monroe
letter says, that heavy reinforcements have
recently arrived there. Foster was about to
make grand move, when the move was
nipped in the bud by an order from the War
Department. A flag-of-truce boat arrived on
the 18th, bringing $50 Union soldiers from
Richmond.
The Enquirer of the 10th has the follow
ing:
CHARLESTON, Nov. 4.-The enemy's fire
on Sumter continues steadily. Battery
Gregg opened this morning on James Island,
Forts Moultrie and Simpkins replied.
CHARLESTON, Nov. l4.-From Thursday
morning to Saturday, at shutdown, ,523 NOR

ter. The enemy's fire has ceased to injnre
the fort. No firing to-day on James Oh Sui
livan's Island.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-The Republican,
this evening, says the expected hostilities be-
tween Lee and Meade will break out before

patch which states that prisoners are as we'll
taken care ofas our own (rebel men. 1t says,
"some of our people denied: meat to their FAM
lilies because Yankees needed it. -
New YORK, Nov. lSth.-A special dispatch
to the World says it is understood that Meade
is to cross the Rapidan within week and
obtain battle ifpossible. The promptitude Of
the Government in paying soldiers has had a
salutary influence.
Richmond papers contain dispatch that

Eighteenth Cavalry dashed upon a party Of
Yankees, three hundred strong above Bayou
Sara, on the 9th, and drove them to the IRON
clads with great slaughter, bringing off wag-

Submissive agree with the Union that
the fixing of the salaries of State and other
officers is proper subject for the considera-
ton of the Legislature, and that in meddling
with it at all, the Convention is rather step
ngbeyond the bounds of its duty. 1t will
undoubtedly be found expedient, from time to
to time to increase or diminish the pay of
certain officers, and the Legislature should
be allowed some discretion in the matter and
not be fettered by Constitutional clog, to
amend which entails so much inconyeni-
ence, delay and expense.

NATIONAL THANKsGIyING.-The New
York Herald has made a new discovery.
The Government is being centralized in the
ac, of President Lincoln issuing Nationa
Thanksgiving Proclamation. Hear the edi-
tor:
There is popularity about Thanksgiving
days and thanksgiving proclamations worthy
of note at this time. Originally they came
from the Puritans of New England, and were
gradually adopted by the Governors Of States
as the country grew larger; but IN ere,y IN
stance they emanated from the State Erec't.
tire, and became, as it were, by concession Of
public sentiment, part and parcel of State
rights.
The fact is, that George Washington issued
the first Thanksgiving Proclamation, and
they emanated from centralized power" in
stead of from Puritans. Washington Procla-
nation was dated at Philadelphia, January
l, 1895, fixing the 10Th day of February as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer.

VERY Understandable has a reputa-
ton of being good town wherein to commit
murder, and just as good or little better to
be tried in for the otfense. If we were de-
termined to commit such crime we would
coax our victim to take Il trip to Sacramento.
The Un,on of yesterday, in speaking Of the
license to commit crime and escape from
punishment, says:
"There has already been too much license
given to crime by failures to convict in clear
cases, by inadequate penalties and ineonsid-
crate pardons. II we would avoid Vigilance
Committees, there must he greater certainty
of punishment and the full penalty of the law
awarded in all cases Of clearly proven guilt
