Wisconsin,.

The Governor of Wisconsin and the bankers
happily agree in the financial question of how to
raise money for the war, and at the same time TO
render more stable the currency of their State.
The banks of Milwaukee will take the whole Of
the State loan, ana the bonds are to be accepted
by the Comptroller. This will confne the new
State. IL will not impoverish the people, but in
stead, by furnishing in the bonds reliable securi
ties for the circulation of the banks, il will
strengthen the currency. We advocated, some
weeks ago, similar policy for this State; but
owing to a neculnr state of feeling. our advocacy
did not avail.-CAieago Post.

STANDING GUARD.-The manner IN which the
sentinel receives the countersign is IS follows:
He permits person to come to a distance OF
twelve or fifteen PAGES of his post and then com
mands him to "halt," and ask, "who comes
there p The answer will generally be. "a
friend" The sentinel commands, "advance,
friend. and give the countersgn." The person
advances, and, leaning over the point of the bay
onet of the sentry. gives the password, (the
guard must always receive it at "charge bayo-
net" and proceeds on his way. The guards are
all numbered from one upward. If anything is
wanted, or wrong, the sentinel calls for the ser
geant of the guard" mentioning his number
which is passed from guard to guard, until il
reaches No. /, where the sergeant of the day is
stationed, who Immediately repairs to the post
designated.

DISPERSION OF 5000 REBELs-THE OLD
FLAG HEARTILY WELCOMED.
The federal steamers Georgia and
Georgiana arrived at Baltimore Monday
morning from Newiown, Worcester
county, Nd. A force of 1000 federal
troops were preparing to go into Virgin
ia. On their way up Pocomoke Creek,
a boat was sent ashore withe Gen. Dix's
proclamation, which was read to quite a
number of Virginians in a farmhouse,
who declared it entirely satisfactory, and
claimed the protection of the federal
government against the secessionsts, who
were forcing them into the rebel ranks
against their will. The gunboat Reso-
lutte has been giving them protection
through the day, but at night they would
60 TO seek shelter in the woods
Information was received by Gen. Dix
on Wednesday, from Accomac county,
announcing the disbanding of about 5000
rebel troops who had been in camp near
Drummondtown. AS the federal expe-
dltion advanced, the rebel flags disap-
peared, and the union citizens hoisted
their flags which had previously been
concealed. The proclamation of Gen.
Dix had been scattered through the
county, and when received in a camp
where union men had been drafted and
forced into service, they rebelled, and the
commanding officers were compelled to
disband their whole force. The seces-
sionists said the invading force was so
great that they thought it folly to resist,
and the union men met our troops with
hearty cheers and the greatest enthusi-
asn. As far as the expedition had pro-
gressed there was every evidence that
large majority of the people were OPP
posed to secession, and the troops were
hailed as their deliverers from tyranny
and oppression. The people are suffer-
ing for many necessaries of life, and re-
joiced at the prospect of an early restor-
alton of the trade and commerce with
Philadelphia, on which they depend for
a livelihood. Information from North
ampton county warrants the belief that
the rebels there will also disband. They
have destroyed bridges and felled trees
across the roads but the federal COM
mander's proclamation has given bold
ness to the Union men and satisfaction
10 the people generally. All who are
not loyal will be disarmed. Union men
who had fled into Maryland to avoid be-
ng forced into the rebel militia are re-
rrning to their homes.
