Why don't tíiote in authority take

the people, and then it will not be
difficult to manufacture the clothing.
If our county court would' take some
action to procure carda for those who
art receiving support from the coun-

week in the Bellville Beat for 1st
Lieutenant, a feW of (the great secret
German party of the Beat voted for
an American, and he was therefore
elected. This being the tint Ameri-
can elected to a military office in the
Beat since the organization of the
State Troops, the Americans of course
feel veiy grateftd for this crumb of

To the Editor of the[State Gazette
Sir—I have just returned from
Decatur, Wise county. I was there
onthe 14th and 15th. Before the
16tb'( there were some two or thrpe
hundréd men in that town, from
amongst which number had been
selected the best men of the county,
as a jury of 24, for the purpose of
trying some prisoners accused of
conspiracy against the Confederacy.
They Were tweuty-two in number on
the 17, of whom two were found
guilty and hung on the 18tb. The
trial of the others was still going on,
and I think, from all I can learn,
that the most of them will share the
fate of the first two. Sume of them
have confessed (among them tbe two
already executed,) that there is a
regularly organized band calling them-
selves the "peace party." whose in-
tention it to take possession of all
this upper country, kill ank rob
each man beingntworn to kill women
and children, if necessary, for the
good of the Union / Their plan
was, I understand, to firefc take, pot-
tession of Gainsville, for the purpose
of obtaining amunition stored, there;
then seize all the arms they could
and invade this portion of country,
which they would hold as long aB
pendent—taking all the ttock and
other Valuables—and then start their
families ahead of them for Kansas,
they following with all the plunder
and destitoying
every thing which could not be
moved, and laying wast the country
on their rente. But the plot wat dis-
covered in time to defeat their ne-
farious plans, and the latest news
from Gainfvilie,(Cook county,) Is to
the effect that that cammunity had
hung twenty and shpt one who wat
endeavoring to make" his
Your©,
A private toldier in Ruell's army
writing from Louisville to the Cin-
cinati Commercial, denounces the
conduct of the general in very severe
terms, and Bays if Buell is in com-
mand two months longer there will
be more than ten thousand desertions.
For ten months he says, they have
done nothing but draw clothing, etc.
t£ be thrown away to the rebels,
and guard rebel property, and iuvol-
ving the Yankee Government to the
amount of millions upon millions of
dollars. They never yet fought a
battle and still thousands of their
men have been laid beneath the sod
in Tennessee and North Alabama.
The race to Louisville he thinks dis.
graceful, and says they burned a
tiain of five hundred wagons at
Bowling Green, containing their tents
blankets, knapsacks clothing, cook-
ing utensils, etc.. and now they find
themselves without clothing, muster
rolls, records, or anothing else except
the little clothing on their backs.
LT By the Central Train yester-
day [Wednesday) we failed to re-
ceive any news from the seat of war.
The stages failed to connect at
Crockett, consequently no news from
beyond the Mississippi. We have met
gentleman, direct from Lamar
county, who informs us that Win. C
Young (formerly Marshal of the
Eastern District) and 'a young man
by the name of James Young, both
of Grayson county, were waylaid
and shot one day la^f week. Mr.
Young hod taken an active part in
the judicial proceedings that have
been going on in the upper counties,
and had acted as judge in the trials
in Grayson county. It is generally
believed he was shot by the friends
of some of the parties who had been
ried and condemned, About 800
men have been implicated ip the
secret organizations going on in those
counties most of whom have escaped,
it is thought into Kansas. In Gray-
Bon county, up to the time our infor-
mant left, thirty-two had been hung
and one shot. They had also about
sixty prisoners on hand awaiting
their trial. . ,
. The whole country is now aroused,
and active measures have been adopt-
ed to. arrest and bring to justice
those that may be left, to there it
now no doubt . that this nefarious
plot hat been entirely broken up
Mnch credit it due to our citizens|in
the Northern counties for thft prompt
manner in which they acted. ,

I3T Hon. Guy M. Bryan It bearer
of orders for Sibley's Brigade to
report for duty at Richmond and if
they cannot be gathered up, he it to
get three other regiments for that
purpose. Of course', it's all right.
Texians win tbe battles and must go
and fight them. Pity we hadn't a
few more to send, especially as Our
own coast can be defended by tbe
women and negroes! Lee wants the
Texas soldiers "for all tight places/'
In our humble opinion, , we vat home
will find a little. the tightest^ closed
up plice inilhe Confederacy will be
the coast of Texas, from the Sabine
to the Rio Grande, within the next
few weeks. We have sent our sol-
diers off to fight the distant battles;
and got in return nothing at all, but
that we "mutt take the chances."
If now we could get a few guns, big
and little, and some word - from Rich-
mond that Texas was useftil to the
Confederacy for something more than
a recruiting field, and that her coast
was not to be left to take the chances,
we should feel a great deal better.
We must, however get ready ta take
the chances Sibley's Brigade con-
tains, wfe presume, 2000 of our best
troops. How many We have got left,
we wont say, not because we are
afraid the enemy will find out—for
tbey know already without doubt,
but because we are afraid the Confed-
erate Secretary of War will find out
and conclude because Texas is away
off at the tail end of tho Confederacy,
it can bo left to take the chances,
and he can draw a few thousand
more of our troops from us for tight
placea' in "Virginia.
The long and short of it is, wo
like for neither Sibley's brigade hor
any other brigade to . leave us just
now. We think there will be',use
for them here before the winter is
over.— Telegraph.
