to . Committe in Augusta in that State, in
which he says:
"The great difficulty in the way of an
effectual accommodation is, that a great
majority of our leading men don't scant It,
Our government is too Iepublican-too
weak and too free for them, because they
will not obey and submit to it! Their
mind filled with strong and splendid gov.
ernments, and the whole country glistening
with bayonets and glittering with armor
and epaulettes. they wish the people hum
bled by being loaded down with taxes. and
the toiling millions reduced to use of meat
once week. They are right in one posi-
tion at least. Such a government would
give us peace. Napoleon, with his six
hundred thousand men, would execute the
fugitive slave laws. neutrality laws, slave
trade laws, and all other laws and without
collect plenty of taxes, whether received
from tho customs or not. He would also
make short work with some of our noisy
conventions and public meetings. and sume
of our great men would find themselves ON
the way to Cayenne. l have no wish for
such government, myself. but if the peo-
pie want strong government-because
they will not submit to q weak one-if- they
want an expensive gov't. because they will
not pay for cheap one-if they want tc
be governed BY force. because they will not
govern themselves, in the name Of peace let
the will Of the people be donel lam only
one of them. and will submit tn share thar

The end wis. Regiment in the Fight

We copy the following account of the part
taken by the 2nd Wisconsin Regiment in the
late battle of Bulls Run, from the Washington
National Republican of the LIST inst
Owing to a variety of causes, some Of the
Regiments engaged in the battle of the 2Ist of
July, have failed to receive so favorable no.
tice as they deserves
Among such might be mentioned the Second
Regiment Of Wisconsin. This Regiment was
in advance of Col. Sherman's brigade during
the engagement of the 18th, and is highly COM
plimented by that officer for their GOODNESS in
their first exposure to the enemy's batteries.-
In the battle of Sunday, the 2lst, they were at
tached to the same brigade with the New York
thirteenth, sixty-ninth and seventy-ninth.
Up to 10 o'clock A. NJ. this Regiment served
as supporters to Gen. Sherman's battery, when
they had orders to cross the stream, leaving the
battery behind them. Marching up the steep
hill at the double quick, they were soon formed
at the top in battle order. In few moments
the order came to charge on the rebels batter
les, which were directly in front, across the val
ley. Here the Badger Boys" made a gallant
charge down the declivity and up on the oppo-
site side, pouring volleys of musket shot into
the enemys ranks. In this engagement, where
they were exposed an hour and half to the
double fire of the enemy's artillery and infant
ry, they lost some thirty killed and sixty
wounded. The Fire Zouaves, who occupied a
position during the battle directly to the right,
were often heard to say =" the Wisconsin boys
light braVely,"" they are the boys for u.s." &c
After the order had been given to retreat, and
the Regiment had recrossed Bulls Run, the
cavalry made an attempt to capture their Regi-
mental colors, but sudden charge upon the
cavalry emptied eleven or twelve of their sad
dies and scattered the rest in coofusion. At
Centreville they halted and reformed, when ono
OF the corporals in Capt. Aliens company rode
up fine horse which he had captured and dis.
mounted, telling the Captain to take his horse,
that he would rather go back and be shot than
to make the retreat. And such was the feeling
ola large portion of the Regiment. They did
not think themselves whipped, and nothing but
positive orders FROM headquarters compelled
them to leave Centrevile. At Fairfax they
stopped two hours, the men were ordered to lie
down and rest till they had orders to march
Or. Salter, correspondent of the New York
Tunes accompanied the Regiment from Centre
VllIe' aud took supper at the latter place with
some of the officers.
The regiment was one of the last to leave
the held, being preceded all the way by the six
ty-nlnth They returned to camp in good order
occupying their old ground on Arlington
ielghts without the loss of any provisions or
