ALEX. w. RANDALL.

To tie Patriotic People Of Wisconsin:
In six DAYS from the issue ofnly procla-
nation Of the 10th inst, the Ist regiment,
called for by the President Of the United
States Tor tie defence of the Union, IS en-
rolled already for service. Five companies
from Milwaukee, one from Kenosha, two
from Madison, one from Horizon, and one
st5ofn Beloit are assigned to the lst regiment,
whffc 10 more companies have rendered
their services. 1t IS to be regretted that
Wisconsin is not permitted to increase
largely her quota, but her loyal citizens
must exercise patience till called Tor |
urge the formation Of companies Of able
bodied men to the number OF ~ each, In
every locality where it can be done without
expense, for subsistence; men, who will
pledge themselves TO be minute men, stand
ing realty at short notice to answer to 9th
er calls Of the Government. When such
companies are full, if infantry or riiemen,
let them elect Captain, Lieutenant and
Ensign, and report to the Adjutant Gener-
III for commissions aid for orders. 1t is
not necessary that men be taken from their
peaceful ayocations to he drilled for active
service, though where companies are loca-
ted in large towns, it is desirable that they
be drilled as far as possible in the use Of
arms. Whenever they are called into SER
vice, all their expenses will be paid
Where companies have been enrolled and
have reported, offering their services, they
win be first called upon whenever new
demand is made upon the State BY the
President which is likely to be very soon.
| thank the good people Of the State for
their ready response 10 my proclamation,
and for their patriotic devotion to the coun-
try. ALEX. w. RANDALL.

EElh Legislature has passed an act
disseminating the geological survey Of the
State. There seems to BE some question
whether repeating the law win cut off the
salaries Of the gentlemen employed, as they
claim contract with the State for spe-
cific period not yet expired. Al resolution
we believe, was adopted, instructing the
Governor % inform the gentlemen employ
cd that their services ere no longer required
and requesting them to surrender their con-
tracts.
In this connection, we may add, the bill
to appropriate $4,000 10 dig into the
earth, somewhere in tho mining district, to
ascertain whether lead cannot lie found in
greater quantities, at greater depths than

respecs except in the matter of carrying the mails
;pasmuch as it has its own army, its own executive

this matter of carrying the mails amount to- Sup
pose the Government Of the United States WERE for
greater convenience, to choose to relinquish the
privilege of carrying the mails, AMI permit this
branch of the public service to fall into the hands
of ADAMs' Express Company, which would doubtless
carry out its plans with equal if not greater fidelity
and satisfaction TO the public than is done by the
present arrangement, would the PGtriOt, for that
reason, deny that the United States is either d
facto or de 5re Government? This is substantially
the condition of the Confederate States at present
The sudden breaking up of the old postal system
and contracts, without simultaneous and complete
reorganization of its service, which cannot be done
without time, would operate inconvenienty, and in
some cases with great injustice, upon the people
They therefore, only carry out the contracts of the
old Government, holding its agents responsible tC
the Postmaster-General of the Confederate Govern
ment, for the faithful performance of their duty
Another advantage in continuing this system, unit
international postal arrangements can be completed
is that the citizens of the United States are thereby
accommodated ALSO and the postal facilities between
the two Governments are not interrupted in the
| least
If the Patriot had not stated this argument in 8
very grave manner, we might have supposed that i

to hoax the public. All we ask the Patriot to do i

will see in the proceedings of the Senate in another
place, the resolutions Of Mr. Douglas, and the refer

ises and directs the Governor to seize and detain

that end to order out the Pubic Guard, and such
norton of the militia force as he may deem neees-
sarv 10 arrest the contemplated removal of the guns
beyond the reach and control of the government Of

The second resolution authorizes and requires the
Governor to pay to Dr. Junius L. Archer the amount
due him, viz: seven Thousand eight hundred and
seventy-two dollars on his contract with the gov
eminent at Washington, and to the said government
at Washington, the sum of thirteen thousand and
twentyfour dollars, paid by it 70 the said Archer

Cennecticut speaks.

The election which occurred in Connecticut on
Monday was for Congressman and State officers. The
telegraph announces that the Republicans have car
ried the State by an increased majority. Whether
this will be accepted, an evidence of returning
sense of fraternsl feeling and justice by the Uuion
savers of the South remains for themselves to say
We think, however, that men of sense and refec
tion of every party will begin to conclude that i
the North ever intends to make demonstrations o.
justice to the South, that time has arrived. OuI
Northern friends have had time for cool reflection
and calm elaboration. and their answer now is al
increase of strength to that party which aspires tt
domineel over the Southern section and de ny
them their rights. Can guarantees be expected
from such source? Let the Connecticut election
