Union county officials After indulging in

TEARING UNION REFUGEEs WITH BLOOD
HoUNDs.-The rebel practice of chasing Union
prisoners of war with bloOdhounds is thus
Illustrated n a letter from Sherman's army to
the Cincinnati Gazette:
Our escaped prisoners are hunted by blood
hounds. These are kept at all the pens for
that purpose. To kill one of them is certain
death, if discovered On one occasion, two
were killed at Andersonvie, and the autbor-
ties, not being able 10 find those who committed
the act, placed the carcasses of the dogs. out
side the dead line, 10 the brook which supplied
the camp with water, and allowed them to rot
there. Hundreds OF our officers and men have
been chased by these dogs. They are kept at
all guard stations and picket posts throughout
the South, and especially at the ferries and
fords Of the rivers. are used to hunt both our
men and deserters from the rebel army. We
have space only for one case OF bloodhound
chase. The parties who had escaped were
privates Crummil and Harris of the 9th Illinois
Cavalry; Martin Coes 30 Illinois, and Pat
terson of the ID New York. Two of the
soldiers were eighteen years old, one twenty,
and one only seventeen. They were chased by
fifteen dogs. in charge OF me twenty men.
One man, finding the dogs close upon them,
ana DO cDaDCe OF escape presenting ltself,
climbed on the porch of house and waited till
the party came up. Enraged that their tbirs,
for Yankee blood had not been grati6ed, they
made Crummil come down TO them, then
knocked him on the head with musket formed
a ring, put the dogs in it, and threw him to
them. He was badly torn, and soon after died.
Harris aud Cloes were treated in the same way
and badly torn. Patterson, who was a mere
boy knelt down and prayed these human fends
not to let the dogs tear him; but o 10 purpose.
He was forced down, and, on undertaking TO
regain the porch, was kicked in the face. all his
front teeth broken ont, and be rendered insens
ibIe. and in that state thrown into the ring.
The dogs had satated themselves with blood,
and refused TO touch him. This is only single
case of many which could be related.

THE Pores ENCYCLICAL LErTER.-Pope
Plus IX. has promulgated letter to the
Catholic Church reaffirming dogmas which it
was hoped had received an eternal quietus
when the Inquisition was swept away by the
force of Christian civilization. He declares
that liberty of conscience is Liberty of perdi.
tion," and asserts that the Church should have
the power to enforce its dogmas upon mankind
After summing up all the errors into which the
Church has fallen, and the reforms which must
be made. the Holy Father, apprebensive that
immediate compliance with his requirements
might not set well on the .tomachs of the
faithful" graciously extends TO all of them
throughout the Universe, plcnary indulgence
for one month, up to the end of the year 1865"
This is defined TO be ian entire remission of
penalties due 10 ALL SINS! Verify, that is
tolerating "lberty of conscience" in the broad
est sense-for short time. The liberal press
of Europe universally treat this letter with
rdicue as of equal force with 1.-THE pope's bull
against the comet and the Italians consider it
hopeful for the speedy freedom of Italy. How
American Catholics will receive it remains to
be seen. They cannot very consistently accept
its dOgmas in land where toleration of all
doctrines prevails and has been cordially ac-
cepted by Catholics from the earliest period of
its history to the present. Even the "pleuary
indulgence for one month" will scarcely render
the revived dogmas of the Dark Ages paatable

THE DRAFT IL CALIFoRNIA.-The San

has said positively, and from his official knowl-

There is no disposition on the part of the Gov,
ernment to weaken the resources of California
by taking from her the able bodied men she
might have use for before troops could be sent
from the East, 10 the event of q difficulty with
any Of our neighbors, or their lieges in the Old

The above statement compares the eleven
months just past with eleven months in 1863,
including the month of January, 1861 (which
latter was under Democratic rule,) in regard to
the one item of the collection of Foreign

in the collection in favor of the present Union
Sheriff, of the sum Of Ten Thousand Four
Hundred aud Eighty Dollars The number Of
Foreign Licenses sold during the l l months of
'63 was 4,497, and during the same time in

JEFF. DAVIS STRATEGY WITH The

rather heavy in denuncation of jeff 5 admins

military genius is also ridcued, as follows:
1t was misfortune to the Confederucy, as
is long since evident, that its first President
was, or thought himself to be, military man.
If be had been some worthy pynter, who never
was either at West Point or Mexico. and had
no special qualification save manly, straight
forward Southern spirit, then he would never
have thought himself competent to plan distant
campaigns and interfere with Generals in the
field; he would then have been well pleased to
repoSe the entire military control 10 the hands
of some one great Captain, whom the unanimous
voice of the army aud the country would soon
have designated to him. But Davis unluckily

SOUTHERN Men PRIVATELY TAXING THE
OArH.-The New York Evening Post of Jan.
18th says that Southern men iu that city are
constantly making application for permission
to take the oath Of allegiance, and considera
ble proportion Of them desire to perform this
act privately, aud to have the secret kept, for
the present. Their object is freely explained.
Nearly all Of them have relatives 10 the South,
and are the owners of property there, and they
urge that, although they are in favor of the
Government, the safety Of their families 10 the
rebel States depends, 10 some extent, on the
understanding of the rebel authorities that the
heads of those families are not loyal to the
Union. The Southern men intend By the
course they adopt not only to relieve their rel
atives from persecution, but to preserve contin
gent interests in the property they have owned
The applications to the United States Marshal
for the oath, under these and other similar cir
cumstances, began with the war, and have
steadily continued 10 this time. The Marshal
takes the applicants into bis private Office be
meets them at his residence, at their own resi-
dences, or at any other designated place he
carries blank copies Of the prescribed oath in
his pocket; and when the papers are completed,
he keeps the originals, and furnishes duplicates
to the persons who subscribe to them. The
originals are not seen except by the Marshal !;
there are 10 other records; and the Marshal
declares to the Southern men that be does not
intend to go into the rebel States to testify
against any persons who receive the oath from
him. 1t is asserted upon the best authority
that the number of Southerners in New York
who have in various ways testified their loyalty
to the Government is much greater than the
public have had reason TO suppose.
