The South is preparing her own textbooks

from the School History of the Rebellion:
s The second year of the war now commenced
1t found each section preparing with terrible
earnestness for the conflict. The south was
| straining every nerve to resist the Northern
multtudes. Her Congress passed law con-
scribng all men under 35 years of age To I'll
her armies the North had better and more
successful mode She offered immense bounties
and high pay. Induced by these, thousands of

the field and thus she was condemned to stake
her most precious jewels against the trash of

FURNISHING SoMERsET's RING.--Somervil
N. j., Sept. 25.-The Veghte jury was out all
night and this morning no news could be OIL
tanned as to how the members stood. Every
body believed they would acquit or disagree,
contrary to the weight Of evidence aud the
4 Judges charge. But soon after court opened,
about II A. NJ, the Jury came into court and
it had agreed = that it found the defendant
guilty Of embezzlement, and not of the second
count Of larceny, and that it recommended
him to the mercy of the court. The defendant
and his counselwere, Of course, thunderstruck.
Such result was not anticipated. Mr.. Clark
asked that the jury be polled, and each jury
man answered guilty They seemed to feel
! the weight of responsibility upon them, and
hardly looked up while answering. Subsequent
! ly, Mr. Clark stated there was newly discov-
cred evidence, and that he would apply next
week to have the verdict set aside. What that
evidence was he did not state. The other iii-
dictment against Mr.. Veghte will be called
next week. There is general sympathy ex-
pressed for the defendant and his family. While
the public undoubtedly believes he was guilty
not only of not charging the $4,000 in bis ac-
counts, but of making way with the books
and vouchers, yet everybody also knowsbe
has not generally lived the life of a scoundrel,
but was business man of trusted integrity
for 30 years, and Of the most respectable fam
lily connections.
