From the La Crosse Wis., Democrat, Aug. 3D.
Dan Rice's Rhinoceros which got
overheard while being brought to this
city two weeks ago, was captured last
night after fearful struggle, and is now
securely chained in this city, awaiting
the making Of the new cage and wagon
at the shop Of X. c. Tit. 1t came out
of the water yesterday afternoon about
five o'clock, and with careful step walked
into Munger's cornfield, filled his capa-
cious belly with corn, and on the way
back, got into the chain trap which had
been set by Messrs. Potter, Wrightson,
Munger and Col. Preston, the agent OF
Mr.. Rice, catching both fore feet secure
y fast. A rope was thrown around his
neck, and by severe choking the mon-
ster was subdued and blindtolded, when
it at once gave up, and was led like a
calf to this city, and Gagged for the time
in Davis stone stable. Col. Preston
compensated each Of the men who
helped in his successful capture with
two hundred dollars, aud gave young
Eggleston, who was hurt on Sunday
last, a thousand dollars in full for all
damages, besides paying the bill Of DIR
Cameron. The monster will be taken
to Milwaukee as soon as the cage car
be finished, which will be by Tuesday
next.

THE AMERICAN FLAX CoMPANY.-A
company is actually organized for the
manufacture of flax substitute for cot
ton. They are about to establish thelr
first factory at Lockport, New York,
under the auspices OF Governor Hunt,
Mr.. 5. i. Ruggles, and others. The
prepared flax fibre is estimated at a
price certainly not exceeding ten, and
probably below eight cents a pound
AS from one and halt to two tons OIL
flax can be produced to the acre, the
yield is estimated to be very profitable.
This new branch of industry has our
very best wishes, and VIC hope it will be
generally encouraged by the people OF
the North. The fact that the common
cotton will probably be for some time
scarce and dear, is point greatly in ia.
vor CT the flax substitute.

COMMON SENSE WANTED.

II Is very evident that there is a great want OF
forethOught in some Of the military departments
of this State. Regiments have been ordered 10
get ready TO march ut twenty.four hours notice,
and 10 consequence the men have thrown up their
situations, and taken to soldering; but after two
weeks delay they have not yet been mustered
into the service, and consequently many Of them
are in great distress, having no means at their
command, while their pay does rot begin until
after they are actually in service. Here in
New-York the I'd, 9th, 55th, and 10Th Regiments
are in this predicameOt, while the l4th Of Brook.

MILITARY RESOURCES Or THE
ENETTI.

We estimated yesterday that the military force
OF the Slave States. at the ratio Of one soldier
to 50 inhabitants, would amount to 2l6, 600 men.
In this estimate ~e included Maryland, Missouri,
and Kentucky whore quotas to tho above total
amounted to G3,0O0 men. Deductilg these, as
not certain to take part In the war Ca the side
OF tho South, aud we have remainder of
$4,000 as the number of troors that the Rebel
States could briOg into the field, if they could
get the roafy to arm, equip, provision, and
transport them.
A still further deduction, however, should OBJ
,iously be made on account of tho nearly four
millions of slaves ard the iuca!cutable number Of
Unlonsts in Virginia and probably 10 all the
other Slave States with the possible exception of
South Carolina, who. if they do not openly take
arms for the Federal Government, will at least
to tho extent Of their numbers diminish the
forces aud cripple tie energies Of the Seeded
States.
Ii must be borne in mind, aIsO, that by our
command Of The sea tho South is 80 exposed to
attacks ia flank and rear that q large portion of
her forces must always be kept at home to guard
the Coast States from invasion. a Uoited Staies
fleet at New.YOIk. with au army ready 10
embark ut an hours notice, and steam down to
any point the Coamander-ioChIef thought Gt to
select on the coast of Virginia, the Carolinas,
and Georgia or even Of the Gulf States, would
hold the entire South in check. for no State
could tell where the blow might fall, and each
would feel bound to keep its s0!diery at home for
self protection. Tie North ia free from any en-
barassulent of this sort. 1t presents to the South
but one front, and that projected by deep aDd
broad rivers. Its immense superiority of naw-
befs aud OF resUurces, aud the homogeneous
character Of ts population, render it secure
from invasion to any serious extent, aud enable
It to exert its full force Tor offensive purposes
Of warfare.
The following table will chow what tat force
10, according to the ratio We have used in esti-
mating the military resources OF the Souih-that
is, one soldier ia aims 10 fity inhabitants--
which ia more than any country ia Europe can
briug INTO the field, with the exception OF Prussia
aid some OF the deuseIy peopled smaller States.
We omit fractious aud give only round numbers.

CONNECTICUT.

The Presdent called upon Connecticut for ons
regiment. Within few days, fur regiments
sere organized in ressn.sc " =; the call. Three
of them nave been Of their rendezvous foe sons
lime. Other regiments will be organized wheu-
ever the Governor shall deem it Deces.ary to &C.
cept the numerous companies Of sDlunteers which
have been formed and are still being formed all
over the State. From the fact that the papers
have said little or nothing about the military
movements of Connecticut, it may be supposed
that this gallant little State has been slow 10 tho
performance of her duty to the Dation. Such
suspicion would be grossly unjust. aud ought to
b. corrected, if it exists. If the troops Of Con-
necticut were not the first 10 the field, the fault
was not in tue spirit of the people. The diiK-
Guilty arose from the utter worthlessness Of her
peace.e attainment militia laws. When tee bugls
sounded, she was caught nappiDg; but she woke

By correspondence herewith published, ii
will be seen that the activity and energy hitherto
displayed by Gen. Wool, in cooperation with the
Union Defense Committee, in providing supplies
and forwarding men and munitions to the Fed
eral Capital, are not approved at beadquarters.
We need not say that We regret this. As no
communication with Warrington was possible for
some days, it may well be that large di;cre-
ton was exercised, snd that everything was not
done as it would have been had the Telegraph
and Railroads been in working order. That all
was done for the best none will doubt; that it
was better 10 err on tho side of excessive en-.
ergy than on that Of supinen,ss and fear of in
curing responsibility, will be generally felt. The
time may possibly come when the zeal now re.

UNION FEELzNC IN VIRGINIA.

We hear good things about the Uuion feeling
in Virginia, very good things. and trust "oethy
ones too. For instance, We know Of wealthy
family near Norfolk, the heads Of which were
Sccessionsts up to the date of the outrage On
Fort S Ssmter, who have had to fly for their lives.
because Of their openly expressed determination
TO abide by tho Union, Us it is. They arrived
in Philadelphia yesterday, and bring tho good
news that it is only necessary to occupy Norfolk
with q Federal army to redeem that portion OF
Virginia from the JEFF. Davis thraldoun. This
information is cOnGroed by most interest
Jog family residing near Portsmouth, who
we're compelled 10 escape from threatened
Violence only few days ago. leaving al
their property behind them. The head Vi
tlis family assured us that be apprehended worse
things frcm tho diseoutcut of the slaves than
from the SecessioniSts. Again, gentleman from
Western Virginia, whose standing ID most COM

assures US that this portion Of the State VIII
never desert the Union. He predicts that, ere
many days. the men Of that section will he in

on the same basis. Of the ability of the twenty
millions of the loyal States to furnish this NUN.
Der there cannot bo question II is safe to say
that If necessary, twice az many will volunteer,
If called upon by the Government. President
Lincoln, il must be remembered, when he calls
for troops, calls with the prestige and authority
of an OlG.sstablished aud universally recognized
Government behind him. On the other hand, the
authority Of JEFF. Davis is little more than that
Of captain Of pirates or leader of banditt and
will be obeyed only so long as he is prosperous
aud successful. His acquisitions for men may be
largely responded to BY the excltable population
OF the Soutb, but his demands for money
to the amount needed 10 maintain All army and
carry on a Government, will very coon exhaust,
if not the patience at least tho pockets Of the
shareholders Neither North nor South can carry
on the war, except by borrowing. But the North
has Unlimited credit, and the South no credit Mt
all. The result of contest between forces so
upequally matched, cannot long be doubtful.
Though Napoleons remark that Providence is
always on the side of the heaviest battslons is
far from being sustained by the facts Of history.
it may safely be assumed that nothing but ex-
traordInary nismanagement, or extraordinary ILL
luck, can prevent the complete success Of the
United States in the coming contest.
