\ Ciieat Hear Story.
<■ have discovered the whereabout of tho miti
si/tw '‘reliable gentleman. He was in the office
‘ i Chattanooga Hebei, at Maritta, on Satur

authentic hear story, bears

Among animals there i? none thatknbws better
now to provide for Ins own wants, or that exhibits
more industry and sagacity in doing it than the
near. The amount of fat be accumulates is culmi
nating evidence of the fact, and if anything more is
wanting in the wav of proof, the story related by
an Arkansas planter of what, occurred in his own
experience would be sufficient, Upon his inspect
turn ol his corn field, the planter ascertained thjt
omethinp was committing very serious depreda
i ons upon hie roasting ear-, lie determined to
hiv in wait for the offender and in fact inflict ap
pi opriatc punishment.
The next night being favorable for the object,
he took hi position. Presently he heard a rust
ling among tin* leaves and bushes in the woods,
and-shortly a huge bear mounted the fence and
(limped into the field. It did not occur to the
planter that this was the depredator for whom he
was lookiug, and he w.is, therefore, much sur
J list'd to see him go regularly to work pulling oil’
the cars of corn, and throw them down between
the rows. After pulling a considerable quantity
the bear turned and picked up the corn he had
as much a a he could grasp in his arms, and pro
ceeded very deliberately to the fence, and threw
it over. He then got over and picked it tip again.
By this time the curiosity of the unsuspected
watcher was fully aroused, and he followed the
animal to see what disposition he would make of
his rations. After going about a.quarter of a mile
in the woods, the bear came to a rail pen into
which he threw the corn. ‘The astonishment of
the planter can better fie imagined than described,
when he loiintl that the bear had actually stolen
•ex of his best pigq built a rail pen around them,
and was fattening them for his own use.

There arc two classes among ns from States, or
portions of States of the Confederacy, now under
Yankee rule ; —those who left of their own accord
on the advance of the enemy, who are
those who have been expelled by mil
itary orders, who are e.rilcs, banished from their
homes. Within a few days our city has been vis
ited by a gentleman of the latter class, who is a
grandson of the late Gov. Mitchell of Georgia, and
son of the late Col. James W. McClung of Ala
barua, a distinguished member of the Bar, and
formerly Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Charles McClung has occupied high positions
in Tennessee, aud at the time of his expulsion be
youd the hues was, and is now, Cashier of the
State Bank of Tennessee. He was the Captain of
a company in the loth Georgia Begiment com
manded by Col. Echols iu the Mexican war, and is
a gentleman of intelligence, and of a patriotic de
votion to the South. The following compliment
has been paid him by the Yankees:
Office Provost Marshal Gen., E. T. )

CiiAßLwi McClung,

to the Government ot the l nited States, it has

Resolved 1. T hat, we are now as we ever have
been, in favor of obeying flu* Constitution- of the
f mted States and all laws made there under.
Thai, in the destruction <d the Democrat
printing material we recognize a direct attack upon
Die party whose organ it *■>, and whose principles
it represents.
T That we will resort to life civil for the pur
pose of obtaining redress whenever there is any
reason to expect that, the same can he reached
ihtough the channel, and if this sbaH fail us, then
we will assert our rights by force *iu such a uan*
ner that they shall be respected.
•1. That those lunatics and cowards in our midst
who are in the habit of pointing soldiers to peace
able citizens as “copperheads” and “traitors* will
add to their own personal safety by demisting from
such a course in the future, and, instead of teach
ing mob violence in their public and piivate life
in piloting mobs and rejoicing at destruction
of the property of Democrats—had better teach
differently, stay within their own walls at such
times, and do their rejoicing in their own closets.
5. That, in this community, the point has been
reached beyond which submission merges the Ire
man into the slave, and resistance becomes a duty;
and that we will resist by force all attempts to
abridge the elective franchise under any guise or
pretext whatever.
h. That above all things else in our community,
save our rights and our liberties, we desire peace
and quiet ; but that if there should be a repeti
tion of the outrage that has recently disgraced
this city, or any other similar to*it, upon the
property or person of any Democrat, we will re
taliate in kind, though it cost our property and
our lives.
7. That the future peace, prosperity and happi
ness of this community depends upon the domi
nant party ; that, although we have been outraged,
we will endure the injuries of the past for the sake
of peace in the future; but they shall not be re
peated with impunity.
S. That wo recognize our right to discuss the
aflbirs of our government iu a peaceable and
rational manner, and to support and read a paper
thf\l does the same ; and that these tights and
privileges we will enjoy.
A. Ttmt, for those members of the Republican
party who publicly and privately denounce mob
violence of all’kinds, we entertain the highest re
gurd.) both ns men and citizens.
The following account, of the destruction of the
Democratic newspaper office, that, prompted the
foregoing resolutions "*
About 12 o’clock Saturday night a mob of sol
diers and citizens in Greenville, Darke county,
Ohio, assembled in front of the Darke county
Democrat, and, after firing several - hot.; into the
window?, they threw a volley of .''tones, demolish
-1 fog tire sash and glass. A Cincinnati letter, dated
March 7th, to the Cincinnati Times, Htys
“They entered the office and threw the type
out of the windows on the sidewalk, and did all
the damage in their power. - They then turned
thsir attention upon the office of several Demo
cratic lawyers on the other side of the street and
completely smashed in the window*. The follow
ing morning the Democracy assembled to consult
upon the terrible state of into which: they
had been precipitated, and waited on Republican
leaders and notified them that, unle va all the riot
er? were arrested and prosecuted they would re
taliate by destroying the office of the Greenville
Journal, the Republican organ. The Republicans
agreed to fulfil the demand. The excitement is
very great, and further outbreaks are apprehend
ed. No arrests have yet been made.
“Gross outrages were also . perpetrated on the
Marietta train to Greenville, on the passengers
by a crowd of drunken soldiers. The passengers
were required to hurrah for Brough and declare
that they did not vote for YailauUighatn. Those
who refused were vhametully Le.iUii anti mal
treated.”
Tlie forrupiioji at ii»r North hrowiug
out oi the War.
The Albany Argus, in speaking of the corrup
tion that has prevailed in official circles, says :
Luring the past lour weeks the public have
been made acquainted with a revelation ot frauds,
surpassing anything ever before known in our his
tory and almost passing belief. The develop
ments show that every department ol the Gov
ernment is reeking with corruption. Million#
of dollars is stolen which the people must be tax
ed to pav, and vet no effort at reform is made on
the part of the Administration.
Officials who show themselves unworthy of great
trusts by cureless management are not leuioved,
neither are the culprits whose knaveries ate ex
posed, brought before the criminal courts for trial.
Not an instance has yet occurred among all the
robberies that have been reported, where the
guilty parties have been handed over to the crimi
nal courts tor a public trial t
Everything is hushed up under the pica of “mrli
tary necessity.” It a poor soldier deserts he is
tried according to’tbe laws ol war, and sum uaril
lv condemned to be shot by the side Oi die iude
coffin that is to cover bis remains. But the Gov
ernment official who divides millions with his fa
vorites, or who leads thousands ot iuen to certain
death, and a great army to ascertain defeat, is
either honored aud petted by the administration,
or spirited away to the military prison, iu older
that the people may never know the extent of his
crimes or the character of his accomplices.^
If anv of these parties are tried at a:l, it is by a
court martial, where the proceedings are strictly
nrivate aud from which the reporters ot the press
are rigidly excluded, resulting in a mysterious
muddle that the people cannot under-uind. The
lair inference from this is, that it is the poacy of
the men in power to prolong the war ior * ae
of the plunder it affords.
Let the Palmers, the Smalleys, the t ornwells,
aud a host of other similar swindlers, have spy a a
public trial as is awarded to ordinary culprits, fol-'
lowed by such a senteuce iron l the court as their
crimes deserve, with a full o. the evi
dence. Nothing short of this will satisfy an out
raged people. Let the preliminary examinations
m.c the trial- of the rojiu«!s who deal m uuihoas,
he as put .ie as for those who steal by hundred.*,
or who commit pety Iftroetwes and burglaries, and
let the people .have wh.it they have a right to de
mand the evideuoc again- 1 their equally guilty
ibettoi.-* and accomplices.
The Albany Statesman, the most ultra of the
Republican pie-q admits even more than this. In
in article on u>e same subject ir. says;
Every branch of Government seems to be reek*
mg with corruption and what Is still worse, pray
ing hvpocritga are preaching against exposiuy
these, ra'-ealitie ; 1• ,t it. may ‘hurt the war.” That
joke is *Bo played out.

Fx Senator Waljs, of Xew Jentev, made a
speech at, Keyport, New Jersey, ou the 2?d Feb
ruary last, from wlflch we take he following :
Reverse all these absurd and pernicious meas
ures which for three years have characterized
No;them legislation; for if the confidence and
affection we have lost is ever to be regained,
it can only by giving the South the most un
deniable proofs that we me willing to remove
every ground of complaint, and to afford the
amp Age security for the enjoy meat of all their
constitutional privileges in the future. I waive all
questions of authority and right. With nearly a
million of men slain, or rendered useless, with a
I rightful debt of thousands of millions, iucreasiug
at the rate ol two miTnnsa diy, and national ruin
and bankruptcy, the inevitable consequences of
this dreadful war, peace, speedy peace, should be
our object, and to accomplish this, a repeal of
these obrro.x ons legislative acts is demanded,
which are an insurmountable bar to reconsidera
lion and have lost us the confidence and good will
ol those whj might have been really kindly dis
posed towai .is us in the South. What greater fol- i
ly can there be then to expect to force a people,
into a friendly union with you, to entrust their
rights more into your hand3, and submit their
property and lives to your Government by dcso
la ting their country and spreading famine and
death over tho land? And what are the laurels
acquired in th s destructive warfare? We have
subdued not their armh.s, but the sqiall remains
of their affection to tin; country, their reverence
io” its laws, and iheir confidence in its generosity.
Xeithei the men in power, or the mere pensioners
of the hou? who now cowardly sustain them and
their policy, ever attempt to reason from the analo
gies of history.
We tjold them at the outset of tbe impraetica
bility of their task, and we tell them that
their lailureein the future will be even more stu
pendous than they have been in the past. Igno
raut of the actual resources of the South, they
supposed that a three months’ blockade would
starve every man, woman and child into submis
sion, and that an army of 77,000 men would be
sufficient to conquer and bold the entire Southern
region. We told them that they would want mil
lions of men, and spend thousands of milliorfß, and
yet only be upon the edge of their fearful enter
prise. Neatly two millions of men have been
called for, and over two thousand millions spent;
and who is there, having the slightest sagacity
that does not know that to-day the rebel armies
are mote defiant and dangerous than ever, and
may proirat t the war for years, to the utter'and
complete ruin of both sections. The public credu*
litv, however, is still unbounded, and it will go on
trusting arc! being betrayed, as it has for the last
three year?, by a act of knaves whose only object
is to fasten upon the public plunder that such
wars engender, and to rise in scale of wealth
as their country’s honor and prosperity sinks.—
The day will come, however, when a betrayed peo
ple will take ample vengeance upon the mock
patriots who have deceived them to ruin.
There never yet was a-civi! war that, wis not
followed by a couriier revolution, ro which ample
atonement was demanded for the crimes, and from
the criminals that had engendered it. These men
may e?cape, being influenced by the effect of logi
cal conclusions ; but thank God, they cannot for
ever cscare the penalties of their imfamous crime
and oppressions; and that hour is nearer than
sonic of them imagine.
I ron Illinois-Hebei Riot*
Tie New York. Evening Post of the 20th con
tains the following account of the affair
A number of secessionists came in town to court,
with concealed in their wagons and armed
with pistols. Some soldiers in the court house
yard were drawn iuto an affray, aud a general fight
occurred. The ceunty sheriff sprang from the
judge’s stand, and commenced firing a pistol at
Union men. Major York, of ti e Ffty-fourth Illi
nois regiment, was one of the first victims.
The Union men, outnumbered at. the court bouse,
ran to the houses «..d atoms for arms. They were
tired upon from the windows. Ten or twelve were
wounded. Col. Mitchell, of the Fifty-fourth regi
rnent, was wounded ; several soldiers belonging to
the Fifty-fourth regiment arrived in the afternoon,
and formed on tee square. Nelson Wells, the
man who tired the first shot, was Instantly killed.
Col. Mitchell, ol tU Fifty-fourth, had a confer
ence with flon. 0. B. Flcklin and Judge Constable,
who were anxious that. reps should be taken to
prevent any further outbreak.
Three hundred men have teen found in Illinois
bold enough to take up arms against the tyranny
at Washington. They were probably dispersed in
a few hours by the troops sent for that purpose,
and the movement,'although the New York Herald
styles It “ the beginning of civil war in Illinois,”
does not therefore amount to much in a military
point of view. But the appeal to arms shows the
spirit and the presumed swength of the opposition
in Illinois. Three hundred men could hardly have
been found in one neighborhood willing to incur
the responsibilities of such a step, unless they had!
reason to believe that they would be sustained by
enoU'di of other 3 to make the affair something
more than a mere treasonable riot. Indeed, the
latest intelligence fiom the scene of the outbreak
gives itnu aspect more important tfean the first
indications promised. It derive#, too, additional
gravitv from the fact that thejlocality is somewhat
north "of the reg'on where disaffection is known to
be rifest. If the insurgents hold together they
will be strongly reinforced from Southern Illinois,
and, if compelled to retire, they will, doubtless,
choose that direction, and gather strength as they
fall back.
