THE MEAGHER GUARDS!
"TAe Union must and shall be Preserved. -
--AEpaEw JACKSON.

The undersigned has been commission
ed BY the Governor of Wisconsin to raise
a Company of Volunteers, and he Invites
ALL PERSONS who wish to unite with
him, to enroll their names at once, as it is
the intention to have the Company assign
ed to the Regiment of Colonel MoLoSEY,
distinguished officer in the United States
Army.
When there are enough of men enroll
ed, the Company then has the privilege Of
electing its own officers, who will be COM
missioned by the Governor. After 40
men are enlisted, they draw pay from the
date Of enlistment, and are boarded at the
expense of the State.
Privates receive $500 per month
from the United States, and men with
families receive $500 more from the State.
In addition to this pay, each man receives
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN GOLD
when honorably discharged, and probably
100 acres Of land. Besides, Manitowoc
county pays $500 per month to the fami-
lies of those who enlist from the county.
Here is good chance for the citizens
of Manitowoc, Calumet, Brown, and Ke-
waunee counties to make good wages, and
serve their country.
1t is absolutely necessary that the en-
rollment should commence IMMEDIATELY,
as the sooner the Company is full, the
sooner will its members commence draw.

SOUTH CAROLINA DOG LAW.

Our exchanges say that South Carolina has
imposed g tax Of one dollar on every dog owned
by a negro, and two dollars on eli dogs owned
by white men This Will drive many Of the
white men to palm the ownership Of their dogs

every dog ecdo o1caa s'ogro and at the same
time discriminate between dogs on TWO and
dogs on four legs.-EnorUille Whig-
The above we frd copied into the Green's

known it to be false when it published it and
the Patriot certainly knew it was giving cur

no time for people in the South to be abus-
ing and libelling each other and We hope that
the Wig, Patriot and all others will have the
patriotism and good sense to refrain from it in

of that paper may as we'll save his conscience

not to be driven to a cowardly abandonment

This is no time for bitter abuse and invec-

and other refined epithets to US to its heart con-
tent for we believe 1t is privilege accorded by
the entire press of the State to that paper. No
one thinks now of calling it to account. But
still we assert that its entire course since the
inauguration of Lincoln has been against the
South and IN sympathy soith the Lincoln ad-
ninistration. Even in the number of the o.

'bombardment at Charleston are given pirates,

we suppose will continue to do so even after
the announcement of Liucoln's proclamation
and demand on North Carolina for troops to
coerce the seeded States.

between the OJs0roer and ourself The time
has come that Ire who is not for the South is
against the South and all who falter or hold

Fellow countrymen of the South this var IS
none of our seeking it has been forced upon
US by miserable, tanatlcal, Black Republican
Administration. Let US meet it then with a
determination to conquer CT perish, The South
will now be, what it ought TO have been some
time ago. unit. Let companies be organized
and drilled in every Captains district in the
South, We especially urge this upon the peo-
pie of Craven and adjoining counties. We
must not only fight for our rights and South
ern independence but We must sec to it that
not Black Republican foot is left to polate
Southern soil. The City Of Washington, SO
named in honor of him who was q rebel >
against the British crown, must and shall be
ours We must 'possess, hold and occupy" !"
the federal CAPITOL and compel the Infamous
Black Republican hordes who now possess it
to evacuate as Anderson did at Fort Sumter
Let the cry be then throughout the length
and breadth of Southern soil to arms to arms !
and let all who refuse to take up arms in &C.
fense of their country, their rights, their honor
and their homes, be dealt with traitors. -
This is no time for soft talking-we speak

As We SAID.-Ever since Lincoln's inaugu-
raj was delivered we have contended that he
meant coercion, and that from the intense
Union sentiment which prevailed or seemed
to prevail, he expected the eight Slave States
which have rot seeded to assist him, That
we were right we think is fully evidenced
by the fact that he has called on all OF these
States for troops to assist him in putting down
"rebellion" in the Seeded States The South
is now invited to arms and he who is not viii
ling to take up arms in defense of the South
had better leave the South.
We are CALM and cool-have weighed well
all tn e ground and mean what we say.

The Northern Press Gn LincOIn's S
Proclamation.

All the Black Republican Journals say the
war must be vigorously prosecuted" They
don't mean to "watch and watt but mean to
pitch in" The " Y World says:
President Lincons Proclamation calling for
IS, 900 volunteers and summmonning Congress
to assemble the 4th OF July, will command
the appreciation Of the country, as a prompt
and timely eXertion OF executive v!gor We
cannot doubt that the call for volunteers will
be responded to with great alacrity by the citi-
Gems of the free North Instead of the seventy
five thousand which the president has
asked for we presume that more than double
that number will be offered, and that those
who are not accepted will be kept organized
by their local officers, and drilled at frequent
ntervales, ready to serve at days warning If
the number called for should prove insufficient.
1t is now for the people of New England, es-
pecially, and ofthe great Northwest, who have so
earnestly demanded vigorous, policy, to prove
the sincerity of their zeal by rallying to the
support of the government in this hour of its
peril Treason has boldly lifted up ist head;
it has marshaled its host; it has bid impudent
defiance to the government; it has cannonaded
and taken a celebrated fortress; ist secretary OF
war has had insolcnce to make public boast
that the secession flag will float over the ma
tional capital before the first of May. These
rebels and desperadoes have given unmlStak-
able proofs of their earnestness. They must
now be checked, or anarchy and misrule will
sweep over the whole country like destruc.
tive deluge. Fellow citizens Of the free states!
this is the hour to prove your loyality-to test
your patrotism-to earn the gratitude OF your
country.
The Tribune follows the proclamation
thus:
The Federal Government, having exhausted
every form of forbearance will now do It's
sworn duty with energy and promtitude. The
President to-day issues proclamation, which
we publish above, calling out a force ofseventy
five thousand men, and convienlng an extra
session of Congress on the Fourth of July.
The call for troops will be zealousIy respon-
ded to- Pennsylvania alone will offer more
than the number required. They could also
be entirely supplied from this State almost
from this city alone. The war, which the rebels
have insaneIy begun, is a terrible necessity
Let it be as short as possible.
| Shall we hear anything more about "watch
and wait'-or have any more Union songs
Shall we not rather demand to be released
from Lincoln's government so that We can join
| the South ?

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL %, 1861.
The R Revolution :

The whole country is now in the desprate throes
of Revolution The mask has fallen and the
Black Republican administration stands forth
in all its hideous deformity- a war of coercion
has been openly proclaimed and each State has
been called on to furnish men to put down
what the President is pleased to term ere
bellion " in the seeded States. A free people
unwilling to submit to wrong and oppression
and fighting for their rights are to be butch
cred by the power of this great Government
That the separation between the North and
the South will now be thorough and final we
think no reasonable man can doubt, hence we
must organize in every slave State as one man
and determine to strike for all that we hold
dear Let the past be buried and forgotten
We have differed about political matters but
now our section, our property, our rights and
our honor call US to arms. Let every body
forgive everybody everything, and as brethren
in a common cause let US march to victory or
to death. He who is not for the South now,
in defiance Of all federal authority, IS against
the South, and such, if there be any, must be
watched and dealt with as the condition of
things may demand. If there be any among
US who are not willing to fight the battles ot
the South now the sooner they reach a free
State and take up arms against Us the better,
for We tell them traitors will not be tolerated
on Southern soil.
Every slave State ought and will secede from
the rotten concern as soon as possible. We
hope that Gov. Ellis will command the Legi&-
IL
sennbled it will pass an ordinance Of secession
without debate or parley. We want no Con
vention-oo one does The people can vote On
the ordinance of secession and approve CT re-

We learn from Mayor Lane that Is or 90

morning and volunteered their services to go

the Fort required. Laborers enough having
gone to the Fort they were not sent down but
requested by Mayor Lane to hold themselves in
readiness.

have to fight the whites slaves and free ne

AIR" Star Spangted Banner.

Oh! say eau you see. through the gloom and the

More bright for the darkness, that pure Constel-

Like the symbol of love and redemption its

AS it points to the haven of hope for the na,

How radiant each star, the beacon afar,
Giving promise of peace or assurance in war,
'Tis the Cross Of the South which shall ever re-
main
To light Us to Freedom and glory again
How peaceful and blest was Americas soil,
Till betrayed by the guile of the Puritan de-
mon,
Which Iurls under virtue and springs from its
coil,
To fasten its fangs in the life blood of freemen
Then boldly appeal to each heart that can feel
And crush the foul viper meath liberty's heel
And the Cross Of the Soa:a shall in triumph re-
To light US to Freedom and Glory again.
'Tis the emblem ospeace. tits the day star of
hope
Like the sacred Lebaram that guided the Ro-
From the shores of the Gulf to the Delaware s
slope;
'Tis the trust of the free and the terror of foe
Filing its folds to the air while we boldly de-
The rights we demand or the deeds that we
dare,
While the Cross of the South shall in triumph re-.
To light US to Freedom and Glory again.
And if peace should be hopeless. and justice de-
MED,
And wars bloody vulture should flap its black
pinioDs,
Then gladly to arms, while we hurl in our pride
Defiance to tyrants and death to their minions,
With our front in the field, swearing never to

Or return. like the Spartan, in death on our
Shield,
And the Cross Of the South shall triumphautly

Men of the sunny South awake.
Arise and strike for Freedoms sake!
Spirits Of Green and Marion rise,
Wave, wave your banner from the skies
Say to the world the tyrant's doom
Again skall be the bloody tomb
Woe to the vain. presumptuous foe.
Who would your sovereignty o'erthrow
Whose impicus stride de6es your wrath.
And threatens ev'ry home and hearth;
Who fain, with murderous intent,
Would loose the fends on mischief bent
Deluge your fields with blood and FIRE,
And cause dear Freedom to expire.
Brave sons of n proud, noble race,
Arise and spurn such toul disgrace!
Now, we are ready! God and right
Will shield us, if we needs must fight
Let Northern tyrants howl and rave,
