The State Military.

Wisconsin has no efficient military organiza-
ton. There appears to be very general de.
sire, that some more effective military system,
should be adopted at as early period as posi-
BILE. Although it is hoped that there will be no
occasion for calling into requisition the mills
tary of this State, still it is sound policy to be
prepared for emerge ncies. 1t sometimes hap
pens that dangers are near, when they appear
quite remote.
The North is not as well prepared in mill
sary point of view as many suppose. The
arms belonging to the Government in the pub
nc Arsenals' have during the past few months,
been sent by traitorous administration, to
the southern enemies of The Union. There
may be no lack of bravery among the people
Of the north, but IN this age, bravery without
the proper means of defence, must not be relied
upon.

Message Of Gov. wood, of1llinols.

CHICAGO, Jan 9TH
The Legislature met AZ Springfield 80 day
Gov. Woods mes age will probably be delivered
to morrow lie recommends that the Banks of
the State be required to secure their circulation
exclusively by United States and Illinois stocks.
In regard to difficulties at present existing
South, he says If grievances 10 any portion
~ our confederation have arisen within the
Union, let them be redressed within the Union.
If unconstitutional laws trenchirg on the guar
anteed rights OF our sister States, have found
place upon our statue books, let them be re-
moved. Let us be inst TO ourselves and each
other-allowing neither threats to drive us from
what we deem % be our duty, nor pride Of opiu
ION correcting wherein we may have erred. He
recommends if Illinois has passed any laws
tending to abstract Federal authority, or con-
iictng With the constitutional rights of others,
let it at once be repealed.
Speaking not merely Tor himself but reflect
ing what assumes to be the voice Of the whole
people OF Illinois, Irrespective of party, as II
reaches him from all quarters, he adopts the
sentiment Of President Jackson-'The Fede-
raj Union. ii must be preserved" to which sen.
hment he trusts legislative power will give EN-,
phatic expression at an early day.

Is Florida Prepared to Fight Great Bri
aiuo

Before Florida entered the Union (remarkt
the Albany JOuTRaD she issued million or two
of dollars Of bonds which were taken by Eng
fish bankers. They we're never paid, nor was
the payment Of them ever assumed by the
General Government. 4 commission was an
pointed to examine the matter few years
since. which sat in London, but finally con,
cluded that nothing could be done for the cred
itors, as Florida, while a member of the Union
could not be coerced to pay. But if Florids
goes out and becomes an Independent nation
the bond holders will probably ask the British
government to compel payment of these claim:
by armed force
Mississippi has similar prospect before her
in REG ard to her repudiated bonds Here are
two wars laid out for the new Southern Confed'
sracy, in addition to its dangers of civil and
EsrYlle ones.

Message of Gov Dennison. OF Ohio.


CLEVELAND, Jan. 18th.
TIL, Legislature met at Columbus to day
Gov Dennison's Message is long document,
occupied mainly with State affairs. He dis
cusses the secession question, denying the right
of any State to secede at pleasure, and atiirms
ing that Ohio remains loyal to the Union and
the Constitution. He suggests the repeal OF
obnoxious features in the Fugitive Slave Law,
and the repeal of any Personal Liberty Bills
a subversve fugitive law would thus be secured.
At the same time the Southern States should
repeal all laws in contravention with the cons
stitutional rights of citizens of the free States,
who cannot be satisfied with less, and who will
insist on their constitutional rights in every
State and Territory of this Confederacy. These
they cheerfully accord to citizens of the South,
ern States, determined to do no wrong, and
will not contentedly submit to any wrong
Unawed by threats, they demand the employ
inent of all the constitutional powers of the
Federal Government, to maintain and preserve
the Union, rejecting the whole theory OF State
accession as a palpable violation of the Consti
tuition; can't consent to the exercise OF any
power under its sanction; the integrity OF the
Union, its oneness and indivisibility, must be
preserved.
