The misunderstanding out the sta.
tistical portion of the Presidents Mes
sage, we layit before our readers in
this issue. The telegraph has narred
the literary excellence of it, and the
writer has not produced such docu-
ment as the country expected. 1t is
altogether too mild and conservative
devoid Of policy. 1t is an unfortunate
circumstance that Lincoln was born in
sold Kentuck," and also that Mrs. L:
belongs to the Todd family However,
we are satisfied that whatever, meas
ures Congress, may adopt, the Presi-
dent will sanction.

that their Organization are rapidly ex-

number hundreds of thousands of men.
He gives i'll round numbers about the
present aggregate members in such of
the states mentioned. All members, he
states take solemn oath when unitin Q

known to the President, and may afford

We learn that there is general dispo-

outside of that body, that reorganiza-

Notes by the Wayside.

Divers matters made it obligatory
upon We Jack to take his way towards
the southern part of this glorious State,
on some day during the two weeks
past, and we embarked on the IA
nous craft of the "Wisconsin Stage
Co." for New Lisbon, of: which fast
sailing craft there were three captains,
who steamed it through i'll good time.
Arriving at New Lisbon, we found a
steaming supper at the Georgia House,
kept by w. P. Carr, Esq, who is a
tip-top fellow.
Next we embarked in still faster

the 10th Regiment. -.
In due course Of time, we foupd our
self at the "Capital House." in Madi-
son, which is the best hotel, by all
odds, i'll that delightful city. At Camp
we found our "Evergreens" on duty
excepting the sick, of which there
were fifteen. All, however, were i'm

pleasure Of taking by the hand many
brave soldier who are happy in sac
rlticing home, pleasure and fortune for
the preservation of their country. - -:
Arriving at Milwaukee, at that su-

found our lang syne friend, Col. Eel

Worlds Dispatch-Thc question of
the exchange Of prisoners seems to be
fairly settled. The New York Execu-,

and interesting interviews with the,
President, Gen. Mcclellan, and Sena-

whom favor it. The Commissioner.
interview with Gen. Mcclellan was cs-
pecially gratifying. He spoke of the
subject briefly but warmly, and from
his conversation had evidently given
the subject much study.
The military committee in both
Houses have reported favorably on the
subject, aud a joint resolution, which
passed the House, requesting the Pres
idcnt to make All exchange, will pass
the Senate tomorrow.
An exchange has been practically
