The Mountains Of North Carolina-..An

As we wero toiling up Paint Mountain
night fell upon us. On the summit the
four clay banks paused. and the driver pre-
pared for the descent by putting fresh blocks
in the brakes. He wedged thom in tight ;
then turning the glass-sido of his lamp to
the job, gave look which said, II reckon

the mountain, and in darker nights his
team is trained and surefooted, and We re-.
sign ourselves to him. Ever and anon, the
dim lights reflected precipice above on
one hand. and q precipice below on the

latter so closely that there is literally but
o step between us and death, Down, down,

ooaxing words to the patient brutes, indicate

sharpest turns.
Tho Paint Rock is curiosity for Its
rugged grandeur-naked, dented, scanned,
discolored. The road passes by its base,
while It's tall brow overhangs. Hero we
strike the French Bread river, and run
along its bank for forty miles; aud here
begins the most beautiful road travel known
IN our geography: there is no parallel to it.
The French Broad is wide, shallow, ant

The 81. Cloud Dea0uat gives an inter-
esting account Of the trip Of Gov. Barber,
Of Dakota, Of 500 miles on sled pulled
by dogs. The Goyernortraveled from Sci
kirk to ST. Cloud The vehicle is very
thin board split from an oak log. Il is
about as wide as a chair seat, aud eight
feet long. It is bent upward in front like
a sled-rnnner, and lies fat on the snow
Usually this is all, but our Governor, with
an eye to elegance and creature comfort,
had cutter-sled built on his, or parchment
with back high enough to support the
shoulders, scroll-shaped sides, aud front
curling over. The parchment is supported
by oak slips as thick as mans finger. 1t
is staunch and firm, and vet the whole af-
fair, we aretold, weighs little over ten
pounds. In this little bed the Traveller sits
with his buffalo robes and blankets, while
on the fiat BOARD which extends behind
him is strapped his pemican and otherIfo-
visions. Before him are his TOUR digs,
hitched between two long traces of raw
hide, one before the other. The Traveller
has whip long enough to reach the fore
most, and usually keeps up a vigorous
flogging and shouting. The creatures will
travel from 80 to so miles per day, AMI
keep on day after day. Their allowance is
one pound OF pemcan each, daily but Of
ten the traveller who goes we'll armed, sue
ceeds in shooting game, and thus furnishes
food for his steeds. The dogs are Of the
wolf species, ugly, trcacherous looking
brutes, who would no doubt eat their mas
ter if they got a chance. A turnout Of
this kind is a natural and artificial curiosity
combined. The Governor, as dog-train
travellers usually are, was in the spirir If it !;
and with his moccasins, fringed leggings,
red sash, fur coat and cap, long hair and
beard, looked like combination of polar
bear and Indian.

South Of that line always talks Of his state

Proclamation of the Governor OF
Wisconsin,.
70. The .Loual Cstisens Of Wasconsiaa


For the first time in the history of the
Federal Government, organized treason has
manifested itself within several States OF
this Union, and-arrned rebels are making
war against it. e ]
The Proclamation of the President OF
the United States tells of unlawful eombin-
ations too powerful to be suppressed in the
ordinary manner, and calls for military
forces to suppress such combinations, and
to sustain him in executing the laws. The
treasury must no longer be plundered; the
public property must be protected from
aggressive violence; that already seized
must be retaken, and the laws must be exc
cuted in every State of the Urion alike.
"A demand made upon Wisconsin by the
President of the United States for aid TO
ustain the Federal army, mus meet with
a prompt response.
One regiment of the militia of the State
will be required fol immediate service, and
further service viii be required as the ext
gencies of the Government may demand
tits time when against the civil and
IciIBiuuS DDStlISS vi ClC ICopic, anu aust
the Government of the United States, par
ties and politicians and platforms must be
as dust in the balance. All good citizens
everywhere must join in making common
cause against a common enemy.
Opportunities will be Immediately offer
ed to existing military companies under the
direction of the proper authorities Of the
State, for enlistment to fill the military de-
nand of the Federal Government: and |
hereby invite the patriotic citizens of this
State to enroll themselves into companies
ofseyenty five men each, and to advise the
Executive of their readiness to be mustered
into service Immediately.
In times Of public danger bad men grow
bad and reckless. The property of the
citizen becomes unsafe, and both the pub
lie and private rights are liable to be jeop-
ardized.
enioin on all administrative and peace
officers within the State, renewed vigilance
in the maintenance and execution of the
laws, and in guarding against exigenei $,
leading to disorder among the people.

GE The general head quarters Of the
secession party Of Philadelphia was in a
building over which. the Palmetto Flag
waved. On receiving the news Of the
taking Of Fort Sampler, mob gathered
to tear down the secession building, but
Mayor Henry appeared with the police and
spoke as follows:
Fellow CouNrRYMEN: BY the grace of
Almighty God, treason shall never rear its
head or have a foothold in Philadelphia.
Immense cheering. / callupon you as
American citizens to stand by your tlag,
and protect It at all hazards, at he point Of
the bayonet, if Unnecessary, but in doing 50
remember the rights due your fellow citi-
zens and their private property. Immense
cheering. That flag is the emblem of the
Government, aud call upon good citizens
who love their country and its flag to testify
their loyalty by going to their respective
places o. abode, and leaving to the consti-
tuted authorities of the city the task Of
protecting the peace and preventing every
act which could be construed into treason
to their corntry.p The Mayor then raised
the Stars and Stripes. Il
A later dispatch says the square is block
ed up with people. The Mayor and pc
lice have possession of the building. A
large American flag is suspended across the
street. Some damage has been done to
the interior of the office BY the mob. Il
would have been. entirely torn ont but for
the interference Of the Mayor.

A PATRrorIo DsMooRArrc NEWSPAPER.
The following from the Chicago Post, a
democratic paper, should be the sentiments
Of every Northern man. If every demo-
cratic sheet entertained the same views,
democracy would not be a reproaeh as it
now is:
The administration does not intend to
make any aggressive move against the
rebels. So now if war is inaugusated it
viii be by the enemies Of the country. In
this position the administration must DO
sustained. No man can opposehis country
in the time Of war, and live to amount to
anything afterward. Our annals are full of
examples in point. BY all means let war
he avoided. Even now. if peace can be
preserved, let every exertion and almost
every sacrifice be made to that end. Bun
