70 the women Of Wisconsin.

Autumn days are waning, and the golden season
is fast yielding to the approaches Of winter. A
carpet Offrost glters above the green turf and at
intervals heavy gusts sweep down gorgeous
shr0uds dead leaves, a burden to their melan-
choly song. The poetry of the season has deep
or meaning in our hearts, Every storm beating
against the easement without, bringing the bleak
music of wintIy Winds comes to us in the charac-
ter of an appeal for the comfort of our brave sol
dIers in their cherries tents.
Let the patriotism OF women shine forth in deeds
of goodness, which shall carry conviction of our
loyalty to our country, ell as of our devotion
to its brave defenders. Every Northern State is
dotted with the tents of Freedom, and hundreds
among its thousands lie shivering throughout the
gloom of these chilly nights. Government is press
ed to its uttermost resources, and though doing all
III its power to aid in this great and increasing de-.
mand cannot meet the tull requirements upon
them.
Let the mothers wives and sisters answer this
National appeal to their Hottest patriotism and no.
blest sympathies.
In our homes we have stores of material in bits
and remnants, which with little ingenuity and
skillfu management may be converted into quilts
and comforters. Old blankets, though they may
be worn, by being patched and refined will bring
comfort and pleasant dreams TO many noble hearts
Let there be a company of organized in
every town throughout the State, who shall devote
portion of every week to the careful supervision
ofths work until there exists no further necessity
In this line.
The greatest sacrifices are made by these who
90 to fight the battles of our country. The least
that women can do and her is no ignobe part in
this great National movement. is to see that moth
ing in the way of comforts be withheld from the
patriot-soldier. Over their camp-res they will
remember these benefits, and the light and bless
ings of home love will follow them in these tales
manic surroundings. 1t should Ge a matter con
science, too, that every article Of clothing bed
ding be made Of substantial material, and each
seam faithfully stitched together ii our enthusiasm
was more earnest in purpose and our patriotism a
'iving coal from off the altar there would be no
suffering throughout the entire army of the United
States.

We have examined and compared the vari-

To the above must be AIDED to the killed and

The rebels report having taken but 629 pris

reported missing, it is fair to presume that near
" all of the balance were killed in the battle.
Of the prisoners, probably one hundred at least
are wounded. With these additions the list of
casualties will stand as follows -

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. 30.-A negro, who
SAYS he left part of Prices army at Sarcoxie
in Jasper county, on Monday night last, repors
that Gen. Lane had just made an attack on the
rebels, but knows nothing of the results He
SAYS that whenjten miles distant from Sarcoxie
he still heard cannonading. This story seems
altogether improbable, as Lane only left HUI
Evansville, il Hickory county, eight miles north
of Sarcoxie, on Sunday morning, and it is hard
" possible that he could have reached the latter
place in so short time; but scout who ar
rived here last night reports that when six miles
from Sarcoxie, on the Monut Vernon road, he
heard artillery firing from three clock till dark
On Monday, and that the firing was rapid. He
also heard firing on Tuesday forenoon. This
scout learned nothing of the result nor between
what parties the engagement took place.

was demonstrated with, by some Republican,
for giving his patronage to SO bitter an oppo-
nent, he made the same excuse. that he did not
control the advertising. We never enquired of
Mr.. Head, why he gave his advertising patron
age to The Democrat, because we knew why he
did it. Nor did we ever charge him with dis
loyalty or secessionism, because he did it. Had
we offered to do his advertising at one-third the
legal rates, and let him put the other two-thirds
in his own pocket as The Democrat did, we pre-
sumo he would have given it TO us in preference.
We allude to this matter in no hostile spirit,
but simply to set the matter in its true light,
and vindcate ourselves from the aspersons and
misrepresentation of Mr.. Heads hired stump
speakers and scribblers. Whoever wishes to

1t is generally supposed that despera-
does-fellows at war with society, and with
whom society is at war-make the best
soldiers; but this Is an error. According to
the testimony Of all experienced officers,
men of bad character, however brave phys
ically, are q curse to any army. Such men
are generally the prime-movers Of insubor-
dination and mutiny, and if there is any
treason at work, are pretty sure to be at
the bottom Of it.
Moral courage is as essential in military
as in civil life, and il is not an attribute of
the depraved and vicious. lie who goes
into battle with o clear conscience, conf
dent in the justice of the cause for which he
risks his life, and believing that God is on
his side, is the only true hero. He is not
bloodthirsty, he is not under the domination
of o sanguinary and brutal instinct, but he
is enthusiastic where ardor is required,
calm and collected in emergencies, and can
bear up cheerfully against reverses, hard
ships and privations, under which the des-
perado would I" wilt down." or desert.
What but moral courage, born Of integ-
rity of purpose and confidence in Heaven,
sustained the ragged, half-starved, ill-paid,
soldiers of bankrupt republic, in their
desperate struggle with the well-appointed
leglons of the enemy, during the darkest
hour Of the American Revolution? The
ice-obstructed Delaware had not been
crossed, the battles Of Trenton and Prince
ton had never been fought and won, the hor-
rors of the winter bivouac at Valley Forge
had never been endured, the inestimable
blessings of our National independence had
never been attained, but for the moral
courage and fortitude of a good and true
true men, at peace with God and their own
consciences. Rowdies and desperadoes,
however available as food for powder, in q
furious charge, never achieve such exploits,
or submit patiently to such hardships, as
made the heroes of '76 immortal in history.
1t may be set down as an axiom that bad
men never make good soldiers.-NeW York

MACHINERY FOR MANUFACTURING BREAD -
One of the largest establishments in the
world for the manufacture of bread by ma
chinery is that at Portsmouth, England. In
this process, the Ingredients being mixed in
proper proportions, are subjected to the ac-
lion Of revolving knives, by which they are
mixed The dough thus formed is passed
beneath heavy csstiron rollers, moving hori-
zoptally along stout tables, which press it
into huge masses, six feet long by three
broad. After being cut into smaller pieces,
and again subjected to the action of the roll;
ers, thus quickly reducing all knots and
thoroughly mixing the dough, it is passed
under sheet roller while lying upon large
fiat boards.
The next operation is that of cutting the
thin sheets Of prepared dough into properly
shaped biscuits. The shape adapted is that
of tine heXagon, for the same reason as that
which appears to have dictated the instinct
of the bee in forming its cells. If the circle
had been the form used, il is evident that the
pieces of dough left between the touching
circles must have been unused, whereas, from
the peculiar shape of the hexagon, the whole
sheet of dough, with the exception of insig-
nificant portions of the edges, goes to form
biscuits. The dough to be cut into biscuits
being placed in the blanket, frame moving
vertically, having on its under surface sharp
edged hexsgonal divisions, is brought dOwg
upon it, thus cutting at one operation fifty
two biscuits. To facilitate the removal o
these to the oven, the frame is allowed Il
come down only a sufficient length to cut thu
cakes nearly but quite through. Mhel
baked they are very easily separated. Their,
is also an ingenious provision to prevent tn
dough adhering to the interstices between
the sharp. cutting edges.

The Sacramento Bee, on the authority of q
gentleman who came from Napa to meet the
boat at Benicia, states that United States
war. STEAMER was lying near the Straits of
Carquinez, in the bay leading up to Vallejo,
with her port- holes open and her guns out
pointing to Mare Island. The alleged cause
for this position of the vessel is that the Gov.
ernment had received information that con-
spiracy had been formed to blow up the
powder. magazine, located on the north-ea
corner of the island.
The Alta California says that, in various
parts of the State, particularly in the north
ern counties, there is unusual activity among
the Secessionists that guns are being pur-
chased, secret meetings held, aud evident
preparations made for a movement Of some
kind in or out Of the State.
The same paper adds that the number OF
secret sympathizers with the JEFF Davis con-
spiracy is much larger throughout Cali
fornia than is generally supposed, and il
urges the friends of the Union cause to
greater vigilance.
A citizen of San Francisco, in a COM
municstion to leading journal of that city
says that there are at least twenty thou
sand active Secessionsts in California, who
are prepared to seize the first opportunity o.
raising the standard and hurrying the State
into the train of rebellion" He adds:
They are mostly reckless adventures, and
in desperate circumstances. II, out of the
one hundred Thousand votes to be cast in the
State, they poll ten thousand, remember thai
number is more in proportion TO our popula
ton than those who have involved the State
OF Missouri in bloodshed. I assert R0kdf 4
AT1op, when ] say thai throughout the
length and breadth of this State, exists q
secret Secession organization, its ramiica-
tions extending into nearly every city and
town in California. Our enemies have thus
far confessedly excelled us in system, CON-
bind action, method, secresy, and thorough
organization. They are exercising silent but
ceaseless activity all over this State. Com.
binations, full Of danger, are forming about
US, and it is our own fault if we sleep in
fancied secuIity-Sumter-lik we are
placed at their mercy.
