From the daily papers, perceive that efforts are
being made, in most of the large cities, to have
all abe-bodied men form Home Guards, for pur
poses of military instruction and discipline This
movement is really one OF the most important that
has been inaugurated, since the commencement
of our national difficulties, and, doubtless it will
be attended with the highest success. 70 matter
what may be the issue of these troubles the knoIl.
edge and skill to be obtained from such training
as is here indicated will be very valuab lie. Every
freeman should be a soldier We came very near
forgetting this cardinal point; bat present and
pending events will bring it to- and deepen it up
on our mesaory. There is not much danger of our
undertaking military skill and discipline during
the remainder of this century, at least
Now, the object Of this communication is to call
the attention of our townsmen to this matter

Come forward, then, patriots. Americans, and
put your hands to this work. Lawyers, doctors,
ministers, merchants, teachers, mechanics, labor
ing men, let us begin to prepare for this war ip
earnest Such struggle is coming and such glori-
GUS results are TO be achieved, as the world has
never yet seen. There is no outward constraint
or compusiOn used in the free North, to fill up the
ranks OF our volunteer army: but every true,
hearted American has that within him which makes
compilation unnecessary: he loves liberty better

This suggestion does not contemplate the imme-

altogether and may safely be postponed until men

save the State from the horrors of war If they
refuse to fight for the Government they must
6Oht against it. If such be tine issue, what OBJ
iect can there be in making party nominations
The majority of the people of Wisconsin, we
trust, are loyal to the Union They have CIV
en- their votes for the Union candidate for the
Presidency, Abraham Lincoln. They will re-
main true to the principles expressed by that
vote, The only object then, of nomination
by the SO called Democratic party is to embar-
rass the Administration in the onerous duties
and responsibilities it has on its hands, in view
of this wicked rebellion, and SO far as such en-
barrassments 60 to aid and encourage the rebels
in their attempt to destroy the Government.
1t is question, it seems to us, that protested
loyal citizens and friends of the Union should
study well, how far they can carry their parti-
zan opposition to the Government, in time OF
war, before it becomes treason. What would
have been mere electioneering travagance In
time Of peace, becomes, under the circumstan-
ces of war and rebellion, aiding, abetting ana
encouraging those who have levied war against
the country, which is treason.
But if the Democratic party is bound to make
partlzan nominations to go into bitter partizan
warfare, regardless of the interests of the coun-
try, we should be glad to know what 1t IS they
propose to DO In the event of the election OF
a Democratic Governor do they propose to
take Wisconsin out of the Union? 1t not, will!
they obey the call of the National officers for
men and means? These are questions that the
people of Wisconsin will want to have answer
ed before Democracy can claim many voters.

Welcome Kanawha.

The Wheeling Convention has completed the
second and more important edition of its work
in the passage of an ordinance creating the new
State of Kanawha from those counties of West.
ern Virginia which are known to be opposed to
the Richmond Government The number of
counties named is 80, being, with few excep-
tons, west of the Allegheny Mountains and
north of line drawn from the head of the Cum
berand ranger. These counties, have by the
last census, a white population of 259, 1855, and
only 6634 slaves, The Convention has wisely
refrained from any appearance of forcing unwll-
ling communities into the new State, as also
from making an awkward boundary by run
ming the line along the Upper Potomac, so as
to include Harpers Ferry and Alexandria but
it is provided that at the election to be held on
Thursday, Oct. gath, upon this ordinance, any
adjoining county net named therein, may. by
vote of its people, come into the arrangement.
The proposed new State is in good hands, and
in due time Kanawha WILL we hope, be welcom-
ed as the 25th to join the Union. Happily
there are too few slaves to create disturbing
element in her politics and cut loose from the
Richmond dynasty, and thrown upon her own
rich resources, we predict for Kanawha a ca,
reer and an honorable position in the sisterhood
of States Chicago Tribune.

A DIsCovERY.-During the ransacking of the
on Thursday, papers were found fixing the ed
itorship of that " cleaned out" paper upon Ed.
mund Burke, ofNewport. A letter was also
found from the editors of the Neso York Dan
Book, asking for list of the Democratic
papers in that State, and information as to
which of these papers were "pro-war, which
anti-war and which on the fence" This is con-
elusive evidence that the traitors of the North
have taken measures for concerted opposition
to the Govcrnment,and that there is more meth
cd in their madness than would at first thought
appear

There are those among us-"fe few and far
between" though-who are pusillanimous
enough to favor settlement of the present ma
tional troubles, even on the basis of the subiu-
CATION of the whole North by the South, sacri-
tcing their political rights, their dignity and
honor of manhood, yea, everything but their
heads and their purses, 'for the sake of peace"
And there are those, too, who, for the cake
OF pelf and self, are ready to mortgage their
souls to Satan and these two classes of men
are yoke fellows" The one is as destitute of
true manhood as the other is oftrue patriotism.
Their souls are as full of dishunor as the night
is of darkness

Another Steamer for Lake Michigan

AROther sieamer for LRkc Michigan
An elegant new steamboat called the Victor. has
just been built at Manitowoo for Capt. Goodrich.
The Victor is built for this shore traffic between
Two Rivers and Chicago. She is about the size
of the Comet, of elegant model and finished in the
most substantial and elegant style. The Mantle.
VOC Tribune of the l4th says:
Departure ofthe Vict0r.-This fine new Steamer
LEFT the harbor this tuesday morning on her trial
trip to Two Rivers and Chicago She went over
the bar with flying colors and without touching
once.
The trip to Two Rivers was made in 81 minutes
going, and 30 minutes returning. 1t is said that
everything worked like charm. The ornamental
work of the Victor is in most excellent taste, rich
but not gaudy We are confident she will prove
creditable to the port from which she sails, and
she has the best wishes of our towns people and
the community in general

apparently, there is but little change in the
general position of our national affairs since
our last There have been rumors from WASH
ington, that the rebels were advancing their
lines upon the Potomac, with the intention of
attacking Washington, but that event seems to
be as far off as ever. There is but little doubt
that the War Department had apprehensions,o of
some such movement, and hence the late call
upon the eastern and northern States for more
troops. 1t is said that under that call the move
ment of troops Is active, and we are told
that by Saturday night, next, rs. 900 additional
