A Rat Story.

red i'm our city which we deem worthy
of mention, and were it not that we are
so well acquainted with those who wit
messed the occurrence, and know them
to be persons of undOubted verac-
ity, we should declare the story to be
somewhat Munchausenish. MIR. j. NJ.
Stockton, our postmaster, is raising q
let of game chickens. He had two
broOds of young ones, one hen being
charged with the cares and responsible
tiles of eleven, and another Of twelve
little chicks. Some days ago, as they
were running about the yard, q medium
sized Norway rat made o raid on the
Young flock, when the two hens made
an attack on his ratship in q manner
which weuld have done credit to o
Scotch terrier. Mr.. s. informs US that
the hens would make alternate attacks
on the rat, and that they would actually
lift it from the gronnd with their beaks,
and letting it fSll again, would apply
their spurs most vigorously. His rat
ship also showed fight, and for some time
labore6 for the mastery of the situation.
But the indonitable pluck Of the hens
was to- much for him, and he was slain
in the combat. This is the first case OF
the kind we ever beard of, and as the

Letters from the People. |:
FROM TUCKER COUNTY.

Editors of the Register:
The election for township officers in
Tucker county came off OH the fourth
Thursday in May. The result was most
gratifying to the Conservatives of
Tucker. The Conservative candidates
in all the townships were elected by q
very handsome majority-except in one
township, where the RAIDS had barely a
majority for all the Offices except
for Justice of the Peace; the
candidates for this Office were tie.
The Registrars in their anxiety to
scratch off enough Conservatives voters
to have majority for the Radical tick
ct, (not being very good readers of pen
writing, } scratched off one of the Re gis-
trars names, Jacob Parsons, who sets
himself up as Judge of Loyalty. 1t
NAV be that he heard voice from the
adjacent cliffs CRYING, Jacob Jacob |!
Jacob! Boreman's tool, you are more
guilty than your neighbors, whom you
so readily disfrancbise, after giving all
the aid and comfort you could to the
Rebel army in way of provisions, your
name should be taken from the regis
ter. The rascality of the Registrars
availed them nothing. The Conserva-
tive majority in the county is much
larger than at the preceding election.
We have some honest, high minded men
in this county who have heretofore
voted with the Radical party, but who
are not willing any longer to support
and countenance the hypOcritical
Board of Registrars, who would sell
their souls for little pitiful
office. One of our sainted registrars
while acting as deputy Sheriff in this
county, reported himself robbed of one
hundred and seventy-fve dollars of the
peoples money while travelling along
the public high way. The next Legis-
lature will be called upon to make a
small appropriation to relieve the un-
fortunate deputy. The people of Tuck
er relieved him of his Office last fall by
electing Conservative to the office of
Sheriff. Strange things happen to Radi-
cal officers in this State about the time
their terms of office expires. This same
deputy Sheriff, seeing that the people of
Tucker had no more use for him as a
public officer, and having the fear of his
cornfield before his eyes, instead of his
God, undertook to bribe two of the
, members of the Board of County Super
visors to appoint him to county office.
For which the grand jury at the last
session of the Circuit Court, found two
bills of Indictment. OF sxch men are
the registrars of this county composed.

Tue.day Morning,- ...-Sane 10
Ne Einslity,

We would like to commend the fifth
.setion of the supplemental reconstruc-
,;ou bill to the careful reading of those
who think that Congress ever intended
#. military plan as u final solution of
our troubles, and that the South should
hr restored OH the terms therein pro-
posed. The plan provides that there
hall be registration of all qualified
voters; that the voters thus registered
shall decide the question of State Con-
yention; that the Convention, if called,
shall meet and adopt a Constitution,
and that this Constitution shall be pre-
srnted to the registered voters for their
approval. But when all this has been
Elected, nothing is determined rs to re-
construction. The endorsement of Con.
press is necessary to give force and val
idity to the proceedings, all of which it
NAV. if it sees fit, set aside and annul.
The fifth section eff the supplemental
law saws: That if. according to said re-
turns. the constitution shall be ratified
by majority of the votes of the regis
i,fered electors qualified rs herein speci-
he'd" aud it shall appear to Congress
that the election was fairly conducted,
"and if Congress shall be satisfied that
such constitution meets the approval OF
majority of the qualified electors"
and several other conditions mentioned
are complied with, then the State,
shall be declared entitled to represen-
tatiOn."
Now, if the whole thing was not intend
ed as fraud, why did Congress, after
providing that the Constitution should
be ratified by u majority of the qualiti-
ed voters at fair election, reserve to
itself the privilege of deciding the ques'
ton already decided by the people, and
say whether such Constitution met the
approval of the qualified voters of the
Statef How could Congress know this
fact except through the results of the
elections: and, if the elections were not
10 br taken rs the test, why hold themi
By what process is Congress to ascertain
that the elections are not fair tests
There is none, and this reservation
proves. what the holding of 4 summer
session confirms, that some new viiiainy
is to be perpetrated if it shall be found
10 the interest of Radicalism that it
shall he done.

FROM MARSHALL COUNTY
HUBB's LANDING, June 10, 1867.

HUBB's LANDING, June ~, 1867.
Editor OF the Register
The war being over, suffer me to say
word in regard to its inconsistency.
The advocates of war pretend to be gov
erned by tue principles of that law
which was inculcated by Jesus Christ,
the great author of peace. Now, if
Christ is to he cur law-giver, we cannot
advocate so wicked an institution as
that, unless we can show that He Him
self was the author of the institution.
Now what ,ioes He tell usf Why, in
the fifth chapter Of Mathew he says /:
blessed are the peace-makers, for they
shall be called the children of God"
This is part of his memorable sermon
on the Mount, which is undoubtedly a
principle which should constitute part
of the Christians faith. Now Christ
is wrong, or else our Christian war
makers are wrong. Notwithstanding
the institution of war is inconsistent
with the genuine principles of chris
tianity, we find a large portion of the
clergy its most stern advocates. Yes,
LET politicians fall ont about some moot
ed question in politics and how soon
will some of the clergy take hold of the
thing and cry for little sprinkle OF
blood, that the Fright ways of the
Lord may be established I" In the re-
cent war, which has set our nation at
least one century back, who will pre-
tend to deny that some of the clergy
done all they could to bring the thing
to bloody issuef
Not only is war inconsistent with the
principles Of Christianity, but it is at
variance with every principle of com
mon sense. Common sense teaches man
kind to love one anothe, work to each
others good, and to take care Of their
own and their neighbOrs' property. The
infuriated war maker, who is working
under pretext of Serving the Lord"
goes in for destroying any thing. Which
is righti t..
Common principles of morality teach
us to be law-abiding, civil and quiet
in all our ways; to cherish friendship,
love, fame, and such simple amusements
as are calculated to make us all good
and happy. War teaches US to be hate
full, devilish, evil speakers, murderers,
thieves, raiders, houseburners, and any
species of wanton'cruelty.
6Now let the clegy advocate the prin-
ciples of peace, and urge the same, or
cease to clamor about the wicked works
of such men as Tom. Paine, Voltaire,
Hume and Others. = q, - go.
When the recent war was brewing, if
the Christian ministry had gotten upon
their knees and invoked high Heaven
to save our country from the horrors of
such war, l never would have thought
of such things as l I'm writing about.
If there is any power superior to that of
men, oh, may that power ever be in
voked to avert the horrors of war.
