Bevada Democrat, Matters in Texas, A letter from Texas dated March 17th, says: ‘ They keep hanging men io the castern part of this State for suspected baw go with the Federal Governmeut. The condition of society is the worst possible. The most ferocious sentiments are expressed by our women. The buruing of houses is advocated by our Governor, and nothing is talked of but destruction, The antipathy to Nortberners is perfectly frightful, and, strange you may think it, the most cantankerous are Northern people domiciled among us, There is a degree of savagery and ferocity among them past all belief. All the news we get is one-sided, We hear little except of spendid victories by the Coufederates, and the destruction of thou. sands upon thousands of cowardly Yankees, For a man to admit the probability of de-. feat is to bring down upon bim fierce wrath and denunciation if notbing worse, Northern men are pereecuted here, and the life of such isnot worth living. After the battles of Fooling Creek, Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, the viperous spirit was perfectly maddening. The thirst for blood is ap parently insatiable. Thousands of men are going off to fight. and it is said that Jouneton bas 300,000 men near Decatur, io Alabama. Some people think that if the Federal arms should triumph, the country would never be reduced to submission. I do not think, however, that the feeling of batred conld be increased beyond what it was be. fore the war. There waea conspiracy to destroy the Union and overthrow democratic institutions io progress for years, and notwitbstanding that I heard and saw the movements of individual conspirators, I I did not believe it until after the war began, and the mails were stopped. Then by putting that and this together, and com. paring notes with friends, the whole thing was plain, Thousands, nay millions, were rushed into the war with the expectation that some sort of a military arrangement would be made that would crash the democratic element effectually, restrict suffrage, probibit naturalization and gradually intro. duce a monarchical element so insidious. . that it would not be discovered until too ate, The democratic element is etill strong . among many of the people, but the leaders are imbued with lust for office and authorHy and, in great part, consists of lawyers who never had clients, doctors who never had patients, and men generally who had never earned their own bread, In one respect the war bas been of immense benefit to our people, as thousands have gone to work doing something, who never earned their salt before. If it will only continuea year or two more, 80 asto let our folks know what it isto be hangry, it will be a blessing to them. I hear people boasting that they never earned a cent in their lives. MvrTiLation or Treasury Norrs.—It is stated that evidence bas been received at the Treasury Department that the work of mutilating treasury notes has become quite a business, aud not an unprofitable one. A Washington correspondent says: The matilator takes one $10 note and . tears offa tenth parton one corner, and . passes off the note for $10—nobody questioning that it is perfectly good. He takes anotber note of the same denomination and tears off a tentb part on another corner,and . so on until he bas secured four corners, . Then be takes another note and tears out a piece from the upper side right; from an. other note a piece from the upper side left, next to the corners; from two more notes a piece is extracted from the lower eide right of one. and a piece from the lower side left of the other; from the nioth note be removes a piece from the right of the middle, and from the tenth and last note a piece from the left middle. Then he has ten parte of what appears to be a single $10 treasury note, whieh he ingeniously partes together, and passes off under the plea that the note wae accidentally torn to pieces, but is nevertheless just as good as if it were whole. Singular as it may seem, this buriners has beoome eo extensive that the attention of the Government has been cal'ed to it, and it is decided, as the only effectual way of obecking the evil, will ben ot to redeem any note at par unless it is whole, note torn off, and in that ger amounts removed, statement upon the authouity of the Treasurer of the United States, How Burier Dip It.—Gen. Butler’s proclamation was sent to allthe newspapers of New Orleans, and they all, without exception, for sale cheap for . refused to publish it, whereupon he took possession of the True Delta office and had it set up by northern printers. . ' . resisted. Southern Papers Then and Now. There can be no more pregnant and instructive contrast than the tone of the Southern newspapers a year ago and to-day. The wild yell of defiance, rage, contemp!, and execration which burst from them then has significantly changed, “The North has no officers fo command or drill the cowardly, motley crew of starring foreiguers and operatives that it propuses to send Suuth to fill ditches and as food for cannon, because it bas no room in its penitentiaries and poor-houses to receive or sustain them.”’ ‘Our people can take it (Washington), they will take it, and Scott, the arch-traitor, and Lincoln, the beast, combined, can not prevent it. The ar indignation of an outraged and deeply injured people will teach the Illinois Ape to repent his course and retrace his journey across the borders of the free negre States still more rapidly than he came; and Scott, the traitor, will be given an opportunity at the same time to try the difference between ‘Scott’s Tactics’ and the Shangbai drill for quick movements,” “It is not to be endured that this flight of Abolition burpies sha}! come down from the black North for their roosts in the beart of the South, to defile and bratalize the land.’ “They never did fight, and never will fight, except for pay, for pillage, and plunder, Once satisfy them that no money is to be made, no plunder to be gotten by invading the South, and no power on earth can lash and kick them south of Mason and Dixon’s line,” All these things the Richmond Examiner said. A year has passed, and it says: “The destiny of the Confederacy is trembling on the result of Yorktown, If successful, it will give us six months for carrylog out the conscription act, arming and equipping a large army, aod launching a fleet of Meroem but if unsuccessful, Virginia is ost, “The action of these cbharch-burning, flour plundering, ewinish groundings bas no terrors for any but their Northern masters,”’ said the Richmond Dispatch last year. Last week it says; “We may expect to hear of disasters wherever the enemy’s gunboats can be brought to bear on all the pointe still in our possession.. Having made himself master of the rivers and sea-board towns, the enemy, if he wish to conquer ue, must come into the interior. There he will have to beat oar armies without the aid of bis iron-clad boats, before he can boast of having subdued the country.”’ “But these mercenary birelings, these Arnolds, are influenced alone by the thirty pieces of silver, aud are nut possessed of sentiment half eo sublime as that which the Devil placed in the bosom of Judas.” This is the Norfolk Day Book last year. This year it saye: “We bave faith in our ullimate succese; but should this prove fallacious we can remember the example of Samson—remember and emulate it.’”’ “Come on, Abraham! You are wanted,’’ said the Newbern Progress, last epring. This spring the Newbern Progress appears under the auspices of General Burnside. The Memphis Avalanche was a prophet last April: “We predict that Jeff Davis will be on the banks of the Hudson witbio thirty days; that Mr. Lincola will fy, with what little may be ecraped together from a bankrupt treasury, from Washiogton, and that General Scott will bear bim company; that nothing will be left,a month hence, of the old Union except pens New England; and that the special session of Congress called for the Fourth of July will not meet nearer Washington than Portiand, Maine, if it ever meets at alll’? This April the Avalanche says that the Southern people are fast losing all confidence in their river defenses, and it is generally admitted that the Union army can no longer be saccesefully t also intimates a lack of confidence in the stability of the Southern Coufederacy, by advising ite patrons to invest whatever money they have in real estate, while purchases can be made with the money now in circulation, which is principally rebel treasury notes, These extracts carry their own moral. The newspapers express the extremest public sentiment; and what consciousness of . ghastly failare betrays itself in every word of the expiring gaeconade of this infamous rebellion! —[Hatper’s Weekly. Exonisu Inrentacence.—A London correspondent ofa Chicago paper mentions the following incident. During the Trent excitement, one morning after the arrival of an American steamer, it was anoounced that the Persia, on ber outward passage. had been intercepted off Cape Race, and . and to deduct $1 for every tenth part of a! that sundry dispatches had been taken from oportion for lar. her, ra make the above the two words “intercepted” and “dispatchCertain provincia! editors snapped at es,”’ and filled their next days’ leaders with furious complaints and denunciations of vengeance on the poco Yankees who had stopped another Britieh vessel, and actually robbed the officers of the Government dispatches in their charge. Of course, you will anderstand thet the piratical craft was no other than the news boat, and the precious dispatches those prepared for transmission by the telegraph.
