Col. Epnnioi- and The Cavalry Regiment

Col. lpnnicis and the Cavalry Reg iment
Reports have been circulated in the past week
quite extensively, that Col. Daniels Cavalry Reg
iment, now encampcd near this city, was about to
be disba uded Interested parties have taken spe-
cia pains to give these damaging reports curren
cy, to accommodate ambitious asprants, and to
answer personol ends Col. Daniels has had all
sorts of obstacles to contend with, since the Reg
ment went into camp at RipOn. Rival interests
have sought ia throw obstacles in his way, and
had he not been Il man of more than usual energy,
perseverance and decision, the influences with
which he Inns had to contend would ere this have
rendered the organization Of the First Wisconsin
Cavalry Regiment d failure. But Col Daniels has
thus far sulmUuutCu all the impediments thrown
in his way and the complete filling up Of his Reg
inent has now every prospect of success. Indeed,
no one acquainted with the present condition of
affairs connected with the Regiment, has any ap,
prchensions as to the result,
This Cavalry Regiment is most desirable one
for Young men to enlist IN there are an unusual
number of educated mea il the several compa-
uios-men who have enjoyed the advantages of
mental culture, and who have moved in iicles of
respectabnty aud intelligence. We learn that in
one company clone, there are seventeen graduates
OF institutions Of the rank of Colleges. Any young
man in this section Of country who has any idea
of enli@ting, need have no apprehension of com
ing in contact with an ignorant and unrcfined set
Of men, by joining his Cavalry Regiment; if he
desires companions in camp Of a higher mtelec-
ual grade, he viii Je sure to find them. We doubt
not, there sre many young men in Kenosha coun-

The Panorama of DR.. Kane's Arctic Expe-
diton, in search Of Sir John Franklin, has been on
exhibition at Franklin Hall, since Monday eve
ming last The great interest that was taken in
this Expedition by the American public, and the
sympathy that was felt in the untimely death of
the fearless explorer Of the mysteries of the Arctic
world so soon aiter his return, has endued every
thing connected with him with romantic interest.
Nearly everybody has read DR.. Kanes thrilling
narrative Of the Expedition, and this Panorama
calls wildly to mind, the leading incidents so
graphically therein portrayed. Hence the very
general favor that it everywhere meets with. The
Painting is really u superior one, and aside from
all interest in the subject represented, should draw
full houses. The accompanying lecture by the
exhibitor, is an instructive and entertaining COM
ment upon the Painting.
The Panorama will be exhibited this Evening
for the last time Those who haven seen it should

a Word or two OF osaI q WA A ccOuHt.-We
wish to call the attention Of the people of Kenosha
to tie fact that we are now publishing one OF the
largest and best weekly paper in the State. There
are still some OF cur citizens who do not take the
TELEGRAPH, though by far the larger portion Of
thea DO To those who do not, we wish to say
that the long winter evenings are at hand, when
the family circle surrounds the home hearth, and
the want of a family newspaper is felt more strong
" fauu at any other season Of the year. A paper
that give. the county, state and national news Of
the week, and some interesting and instructing
miscellaneous reading, becomes almost necessity
Such o. paper we are endoayoring 70 furnish to our
rem ars. and We have tie satisfaction Of being fire.
qncaIy assured by our subscribers, that we are
byu, means unsuccessful in cur efforts.
We are giving, weekly, more than twice the
amount Of reading Of any other paper in the
county, while we think The qUalty, for interest,
freshness and Importance, VIII compare even more
favoraDIy. For instance, last week we gave the
Presidents Message in FULL witho ut Infringing up
on our usual amount Of miscellaneous news aud
local matter Our competitor Tor public favor con
tented itself with informing its readers that the
message was received too late for this lastj weeks
paper" and giving in lieu thereof three or four
paaogyrics upon the performances OF PROF.. Stearns
and Us many more upon the Milwaukee theatre
This week we give u graphic story Of New Eng
laud life fifty years ago. the full report Of the
Secretary Of War, which will be read with nearly
the same interest as the Message itself, with very
liberal abstracts OF the reports Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, Secretary Of the Navy and the Post
master General, and yet all these will not prevent
our giving all the war news, and our usual amount
of local and home matter.
It is hardly necessary to say that we are anX
ious E, increase our circulation and patronage and
we do our best, first to deserve that patronage
The people Of Kenosha County have given Us Il
very liberal patronage the past year, and we have
shown our appreciation Of that fact by improving
our paper in many respects, and we shall continue
to make improvements in proportion to the sup
port and encouragement we receive. Our object
is 10 furnish paper that subscribers viii not
be ashamed to send to their friends, out of the
State-a paper that will be q credit to our city and
county. All we ask is the support of our fellow
citizens so far as we deserve it. Our subscribers
many Of them can induce friend or neighb0r TO
subscribe by showing them the kind OF paper we
publish Our subscription is daily increasing, and
we are indebted 10 the efforts OF many friends i:
our behalf, which are duly appreciated.
Send in the names.

Simnon's New INTERCHANGEABLE
Hall is fast approaching completion, ana the near
or it comes to that, the more elegant and magnIfi-
cent it appears. The plastering is nearly compile,
ted, and the fine proportions Of the Hail begin to
be appreciated. The means of ingress and egress
are worthy Of note The long flight of stairs that
are so apt to form objection to public hall on
an upper floor IS quite done away with The en-
trance is between the two stores The outer doors
open cutwardly, and are SO set in that they fold
against the walls, making no obstruction whatev-
err to crowd in its egress. he first ascent is but
three steps, when you pass on few feet to anoth-
er ascent Of four easy steps. After another inter
val there is another ascent of five or six steps to
the main landing, whence a short, broad flight OF
steps on either nand ascend to ante rooms from
which doors enter the hall The doors swing either
way, in or out. Thus we are in the Hall with
scarcely thought Of any stairs.
As we have before said the Hall is of the first
class. 1t is twenty feet high from floor to ceiling.
1t is to be seated with fine caneseat settees, which
are now being manufactured expressly for this
purpose, and they will be made with an eye to ease
and strength and beauty. The stage forthis win
ter will be temporary and movable, bat Mr.. Sim
informs US that he intends ultimately to nave
the Hall furnished with an elegant siege, appro-
yrute for theatrical performances, exhibitions,
concerts, &c. Altogether this new hall promises
to meet a pubiiv want that has been felt since the
destruction Of Odd Fellows Hall.
We understand that the hall viii be formerly
opened on the evening before New Years, by a
grand, odd Fellows ball and festival for the ben
fit of the Lodge III this city, 10 enable them to car

destruction of Odd Fellows Hall. We have the
assurance from those who have the matter in

but as soon as they are the public will be duly
informed We bespeall for it beforehand the IA
