Proceedings Of the Board.-Thc Board of
Supervisors were in session the first of the
week. Among other business transacted, q
resolution was passed providing that the Pro-
vost Marshal of this District be petitioned to
make this County one sub-distrct, so that in
raising, the quota Of the County the draft
would be made from the County at large, in
stead of from the various delinquent town
ships as how sub districted. On the face of
it this would be very unjust to those town
ships which have raised their quotas, and we
cannot believe that the proper authorities will
entertain the proposition for moment. In
fact if we understand the law Alright, every
township throughout the whole country is
constituted a sub district by itself, and any
such enactment as that proposed by the
Board would be illegal and not binding
The injustice Of any such arrangement is very
transparent, and take for example this town:
ship. Cedar Fails has been required to fur
nish almost one, fourth of the men called for
from this County,-it hYine furnished one
hundred and ffty-sx out Of the six hundred
and ninety men called for from Black Hawk
since the system of apportioning quotas to
sub. districts was adopted. BY the payment
Of large local bountics Cedar Falls has raised
its full quota $3.50 under all calls, and now
this resolution Of the Board would require us
in addition to this to help fill up the quotas
Of the delinquent townships. liza draft from
the County at large should only take from
this tow nship our exact proportion Of the to-
tai deficiency Of the County, we would have
upwards Of thirty men to furnish over and
above our just ratio; but thon in a general
draft there would be no certainty but that we
might be obliged to furnish even twice that
number, while townships that arc now large
ly in arrears might get off without furnishing
single man, or at least no where near their
just proportion. Cedar Falls is willing to do
her just share, and a little more, but win
strongly object to being imposed upon to the
extent proposed by this resolution Of the
Board
A resolution introduced to pay drafted men
bounty Of three hundred dollars was de-
fcated. C. MAY, Of this town, was the only
member who voted against it.
The tax for school house purposes in this
sub district was cut down to five mills, ten
having been asked for; other subdis.
tricts in this school district having put in
claims, the ten mill tax to this sub district
could not lawfully be granted. But this
must not be allowed to stop the work on our
school house. The necessary funds must
be borrowed to place the building in condi-
ton for occupancy the coming winter. Ce-
dar Falls should be an independent district
to avoid such as .aivations as this. r.4
A resolution to publish the proceedings
was voted down without ceremony.

ATLANTAIS OERS.

Sherman's long and arduous campaign has
illuminated in the most important victory of
the war. Atlanta, the granary and work
shop Of the Confederacy has been compelled
to succumb to Sherman's gallant army, and
the rebellion in the south west is virtually
dead. This brilliant victory is of the utmost
Importance, as it places at our mercy Geor.
gia, Alabama, and Mississippi. And as the
Chicago Tribune remarks there is another
important feature in this news:
| 1t is the second gun in the political cam
paign, by which we mean the campaign
waged by loyal men at home for the preser-
walton of the Union against the plots of cop.
perheads and peace sneaks. Farragut fired
the first when he took Fort Morgan. Sher-
man replies with Atlanta. The copperheads
are already shvering at the grand echoes Of
| this war thunder, as it rolls throughout the
country. Mcclellan to-day trembles before
it, and we predict he will withdraw and get
off the rotten peace platform upon, which
traitors have placed him, rather than remain
there to be overwhelmed by the surges Of
loyalty which will sweep over it, burying it
and every thing about it and belonging to it
in irretrievable rain. The willy and sagacious
New York Herald forcsees the danger, and
! warns him off the track. E".# 3l-
Union men The dark days are over. We
see our way out Our gallant boys in blue
have hurled the bombshells of Morgan and
Atlanta into the camps Of the copperhcads.

the time to strike. The soldiers have given
you the key note. Close up the ranks -
