Proclamation Of the Governor.
MADISON. Anil Is 1861.


To the Loyal Citizens of Wisconsin: aF
Foi the first time in the history of the
Federal Government, organized treasors
has manifested itself within several States
of this Union, and armed rebels are mas
king war against it. r.-,.
The proclamation of the Presden. Of
the United States tells us of unlawful COM
binations too powerful to be resisted in
the ordinary manner, and calls for militia
ry forces to suppress such combinations,
and TO sustain him in executing the laws
The treasury must no longer be plum
dered; the public property must be pro-
tected from aggressive violence That
already seized must be retaken, and the
laws must be executed alike in every State
of the Union.
A demand made upon Wisconsin by tie
President of the United States for aid to
sustain the Federal arm must meet with
prompt response.
One regiment Of the militia of this
State will be required for immediate SER
vice, and further service will be required
as the exigencies of the Government NAV
demand.
1t is time when against the civil and
religious liberties of the people and against
the Government of the United States,
parties, and politicians and platforms muss
be as dust in the balance. AL good citi~
zens everywhere must join in making
common cause against a common enemy.
Opportunities will be immediately offered
to existing military companies under the
direction Of the proper authorities of tho
State for enlistment to fill the military de,
mands Of the Federal Government and
hereby invite the patriotic citizens of this
State to enroll themselves into companies
of rs men each, and to advise the Execu-
tive of their readiness to be mustered into
service Immediately.
Detailed instructions will be furnished
On the acceptance of companies, and com
missioned officers will nominate their owD
field officers. In times of public danger
bad men grow bold and reckless, the prop
erty Of the citizen becomes unsafe, and both
public and private rights are liable to be
jeopardized.
enjoin on all administrative and peace
officers within the State renewed vigilance
in the maintenance and execution of the
laws and IN guarding against exigencies
leading to disorder among the people.
ALEX. W. RANDALL, Governor.

Another Proclamation.

MADISON. April %.
The following proclamation was issued
by the Governor this morning:
To the Patriotic people of Wisconsin:
In six days from the issue of my proela-
nation Of the 10Th inst, the first regi-
ment called for by the President Of the
United States, for the defence of the I'm
ion, is enrolled and ready for service
Four companies from Milwaukee, one
from GAINESVILLE, two from Madison, one
FROM Horizon, and one from Beloit, are
assigned to the first regiment, while nine
teen more companies have rendered their
services. 1t is to be regretted that Wis
consin is not permitted to increase largely
her quota, but her loyal citizens must ex.
ercise patience till called for.
urge the formation of Companies of
able bodied men, to the number of seven
ty>seven each, in every locality where it
can be done without expense for subsist-
ence, of men who pledge themselves to be
minute men, standing ready at short no.
tice to answer to calls from the Governs
ment. When such companies are full, if
infantry or rfiemen, let them elect cap
tain, lieutenant, and ensign, and report to
the Adjutant General for commissions and
orders. 1t is necessary tina: men be taken
from their peaceful vocalions to be drilled
for actual service.
Though when companies are located in
large towns it is desirable that they be
drilled, as far as possible, in the use of
arms; whenever companies are called into
service all their expenses will be paid
Wherever companies have been enrolled
and have reported offering their services,
they will be first called upon whenever
new demand is made upon the State by
the President, which is likely to be very
soop. thank the good people of The
State, for their ready response to my pro.
clamaiion. and for their patriotic deyotion
to their country.
(Signed) ALEX. W. RANDALL.
Governor.

frequently with the foreign diplomatists
here concerning the present condition Of

it is we'll understood that there is no sym
patty whatever for the South Lord
Lyons saws that he sees no benefit to be
derived by the English Government, or
any foreign power, from the supremacy Of
its people that there is, of course no
prospect of foreign supremacy on this con-
tiuent in any event, while Engla and
the United States have become so strong
ly united IN mutual interests, that misfor-
tune to one is disaster to the other in all
points of material interests. The South
ern Commissioners hal reason to discover
these facts while in Washington, and
have probably given Davis and bis COM
patriots some new ideas not at all latter

success.
