object o. the meeting as said to be to settle with

commence new with the New Year. We can
not learn however. that any such resat was effcc-
led, although some at east OF the old officers were
ready and desired a settlement The principal
business Of the session, We understand was 10 al
low accounts, (some Of them dozen Tears o!d.)
issue new Orders, remit Taxes, many Of them
too low beiore) eut down printers, bills Charged
originally at half price, and providing for paying
themselves for their own valuable services. The

We know not the cause Of this; perhaps some Of
the Board wished to purchase Orders, and did not

persons having County Orders to sell, had better

Battle Of the Peketoniea.
To Ggx. WIELIAM r. SmrTH,

In late number Of the Wisconsin, Tribune.
there was communication Of Mr. Peter Par

tie of the Peketonica.' | saw nothing in his
statement caleulated 70 change the general re-
suit Of an action so honorable TO all engaged
ia II, but | see that Mr Parkinson has (unwIl-
lingly perhaps) misrepresented me, and some
Ct niy action, on that occasion.
The officers composing the command at
For; Defiance at that time, were Robert c.
Hoard, Captain; Charles Bracken. first Lieu
tenant; Daniel II. Parkinson, second Lieut.;
and William Burnett, Ensign.

ton, reduces NE to the rank Of second Lieu

His memory here certainly failed him, for
the saddle was on the other horse II is rea-
sonable to suppose that if Mr. Parkison be-
longing TO the same company with me, and

some weeks, could not rec0liect my rank,
that his memory cannot be relied on as to 9th

Shortly after The Black Hawk war, when

for word with my former publication The
late Mr.. n. G. FiTcH, some ten or twelve
years since, also published an account of the
same battle in the Mineral Point paper, 10
which he differs in no essential particulars
from me. On data such as this, think there
is more reliance to be placed for the truth of
history, than on the memory Of Mr.. Parkison
which Is clearly at fault in the very first fact

Wednesday of last week. We have neither
space nor time to give cur readers an indigid-

that each one considers himself sufficiently

and we presume each will vie with the other
in the administration of his own remedies.

ton on Thursday, by elecling Fl. L. Palmer

deliver TO each member, a copy of the laws
and journals Of 1850, 1851, and 1852, togeth-
er with a copy Of the Revised Statutes Of the

Of Crockett's Almanac, that the Legislature

ton.
Mr.. Sanders proposed that each member be
allowed 20 papers per day. Mr.. McGary,

Der, of each paper in the State. at their ad =
vertised rates The matter was finally settled
by allowing each member 10 copies.
