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,

How Burier Dip It.—Gen. Butler’s proclamation was sent to allthe newspapers of
New Orleans, and they all, without exception,

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.
