all he has done has been to bring irffamy

A Question to Answer.

Five new regiments are called for from this
State. The st. Croix Rifles are fast filling
up, and will soon be off. There is no doubt
but it will be necessary to raise another COM
pany in the ST. Croix Valley. This company
will necessarily be made up OF many who
have not thought hitherto that the exigences
of the case would call on them. We are hap
py to state that Rev. N. MCLEOD of this place,
has been solicited by some of his friends to
raise company, and will very likely do SO.
In addition to his qualifications as man, he
has received a thorough military education
1t is time for all to ask, shall I go?' For
this is a question the hour is putting to each
of us: Are you ready. if need be, to sacrifice
all that you lave and hope for in this world,
that the generations to follow you may inherit
a whole country whose natural condition shall
be peace. and not a broken province which
must live under the perpetual threat, if not in
the constant presence, of war and all that war
brings with it? How will we answer this
question?
Prescott journal. [volume] (Prescott, Wis.) 1861-1871, 1861-09-04
Peace or W ar.

We all wish for Peace. Camp life, with its
weary routine the battlefield with its terri
bic tragedies, has no attractions for us, But
peace, to be blessed and permanent, must rest
on a recognition of Justice and obedience to
law. This rebellion is waged in the interests
OF anarchy. 1t is simply an appeal by mad
dened minority from the ballot to the bullet
an attempt to gain by unlawful, what they
could not by lawful means. The stability of
government-the security of property-the
sacredness of law-the blessedness of peace,
all demand that this rebellion be crushed in a
manner so emphatic that its like shall never
occur again.
There are those who would fix up some sort
of present peace. by buying or coaxing the
rebels to lay down their arms. We do not
impeach their honesty, but we question their
wisdom. War is terrible remedy, but it is
the only effectual medicine for rebellion. There
is no alternative. Loving peace we must fight
for it. The red bolt of war must fall on re.
bells like the lightning Of heaven,
Scattering that it may reach, and SCATTERING
what it reaches"
The issue is made up. Let us accept it.
Let us conquer a peace that shall be lasting
and beneficent, resting on firm foundations.
bringing with it the approval of man and the
blessing of God.

Bear Story.-Many of our readers have
heard of Mr.. JOCK. a Frenchman and hunter
who resides III the woods est of Thompson's
Mill, on Rush River, in this county. He is
powerful, hardy man, and for years has fol-
lowed hunting for a livelihood Last Sunday
as he was picking some berries he discovered
fresh bear tracks, and went to the house for
his gun and other aims. After following the
bear nearly five miles, he obtained two shots,
neither of which We're fatal. Hastily reload
ing, he obtained another shot, but from some
reason did not hit the bear. She perceiving
him and enragcd by the wounds she had re-
ceived made for him. He reserved his shot
till the bear was W thin few feet, then firing,
the ball struck the bears nose, glanced up the
skull, and lodged without any fatal effect
There was 70 chance to retreat. The bear in
an instant struck his Ratchet from his hand,
grappled with and threw hin. He had still
his hunting knife, but the bear was so large
and fat, that he could not easily give her ia
tai wound. She would seize his arm in Ter
mouth, and he grasping the knife with his
other hand wonld inflict another wonnd. Thus
they fought for some time. till at last the bear
died, leaving her teeth so firmly set in the
flesh of his thigh, that he was obliged to cut a
stick and pry her mouth open to get free. The
flesh of his arms was all chawed up, and otl1-
er parts of his body badly torn. He walked
four miles towards home, and then fell from
exhaustion and loss of blood, and was found
by some of his friends.

When the wise man of old. sitting in
judgement upon the rival claims Of two
women TO n child, decided that it should
be cut in twain, it was the false mothor
who rejoiced IN the judgement. while the
true mother preferred TO save the life of
the child. So the man who is willing
that this Union should be severed by the
sword of treason may have been born
upon American soil, but he has net an
American heart. The true SON of the
