a Volunteer Meeting.

Al volunteer meeting was held on Sat
urday the goth, in the town Of Fennimore.
for the purpose Of forming new military
company out of the two fractions known as
the Wingyille and Fennimore companies.
The dag was propitious for the occasion
and the people from all directions come
pouring IN. concentrating at the store OF
Mr.. John McReynods, where they remain
ed until ! o'clock, p. M, when Capt. Mey-
er ordered the foes Of Jeff Davis to take
their places in the ranks. We were then
ordered to keep step to the music and
march in double file to the school house,
where we stacked weapons Of war and took
our seats. A few preliminary remarks
were then made in regard to the meeting
Of the two companies; this being done we
were ordered to march out and form into
ranks; by this time the Fennimore COM
pany come marching up, headed by Capt.
Finnicum. A junction of the two COM
panies was then formed and we were or
dered to march up the road west of the
school house, where we performed few
eyolutions, We then marched back to the
school house and took our seats and pro-
ceeded to business.
On motion Of Capt. Finnicum, Captain
Meyer was elected. sivayose, to the chair,
and Charles Fulks Secretary, assisted by
Robert Palmer.
We then proceeded to the election of
officers by ballot. The officers elect are
Mark Finnicum for Captain; G. M. Fl.
Meyer, Isl Lieutenant; Robert Palmer, I'd
Lieutenant; Robert Monteith, Orderly Ser
geant. After this we we've commanded to
take our places in the ranks where we elect
ed four serge9nts and four corporals; the
remainder Of the officers were to be elected
at a subsequent meeting. We then listen
ed TO a national song which made our boz
SONS dilate considerably. BY this time
we began to feel somewhat pugnacious anil
had there been any rebels in sight think
a vociferous charge would have been imme-
diately made We then went through
drill exercise about two hours, accompan-
led by good martial music, when the com
mand "halt, front face, break ranks was
given, and after some considerable enthu-
siasm and cheering, the crowd dispersed,
feeling well satisfied with the proceedings

Monday, July 22d.

1911 t"y; oaiJ $3.50
We arrived here Friday, and designed
leaving this morning for Camp Randall at
Madison, by the 8 O'Clock tain. The flat
.tering yet not altogether salts 'ctory news
of the morning, from Washing on the day
before, made us anxious to await the de-
tails Of battle-a battle understood as In
volving to some extent, if not deciding the
fate Of our country. we therefore stopped
for the evening cars, hoping all day for
better reports get fearing worse. In the
forenoon, numerous pairs and companies Of
lopd takers were seen in the streets blow
ing off their patriotic froth. At noon, sad
faces were seen among business men, for il
telegram had just been announced to pri-
yate circles that McDowclps Division had
been repplsed with great slaughter; Jy one
o'clock the news was no longer private !;
we saw large crowds about the Sentinel,
Wisconsin and free Democrat Offices pa
tiently awaiting the extra that was 10 re-
veal terrible news. BY this time the old
men of Milwaukee, the bankers and dwell
ers in palaces had taken the places ofthose
who in the morning of the day thought
moi deeply nor suspected misery in store;
here were Mitchell, Lockwood, Martin and
a score beside of the solid men of Milwau-
kee; they were calculating the probabilities
of defeat and reasoning upon the effects
on trade, money, lands, crops, &c Oh,
selfish, money worshippers! They dwelt
not upon the possible downfall Of a repub-
Tic, the rise Of an empire or the Inaugural
ton Of a monarch These great palaces
and mighty dollars were in danger-not
Of humiliation but Of changing hands; so
the old ones did make up their minds
rightly that Gen. Scott must rally again,
not to save the union for the sake of our
liberties but for the sake of "our sacred for
tunes nothing more; and this they call
patriotism and union loving This day
the stakeholder would SILVER the union for
precisely the same reasons, with slight
variation-his human property is in dan
ger! So closes the chapter of this day.
We are to arrive at Madison Tuesday
morning, by 8 o'clock.

swiftly for the distant Potomac, until for
ten miles the road over which the grand
army had so lately passed southwark, gay
with unstained banners, and flushed with
surety of strength, was covered with the
fragments ofits retreating forces, shattered
and panic stricken in a single day. From
the branch route, the trains attached to
Hunters Division had caught the contagioD
Of the flight, and poured into its already
swollen current another turbid freshit Of
confusion and disnay. Who ever saw a
more shameful abandonment of munitions
gathered at such vast expense? The team
sters, many Of them cut the traces of their
horses, and galloped from the wagons
Others threw out their loads to accelerate
their fight, and grain, picks and shoyels,
and provisions of every hiud, lay trampled
in the dust for leagues Thousands of
muskets strewed the route; when some OF
us succeeded in rallying body offugitiyes,
and forming them in line across the
road, hardly one but had thrown away his
arms. If the enemy had brought up his
artillery and served it upon the retreating
train, or had intercepted our progress with
five hundred of his cavalry, he might have
captured enough supplies fer weeks feast
of thanksgiving. As it was, enough was
left behind t. tell the story Of the panic
The rout of the federal army seemed com
