Q, DON'T Some Of the Northern journals and
people are clamorous for peace. We must enter
our humble protest against the consnmmation of a
reHcc vet awl,". III" infant Confederacy of the
SOuth cannot yet afford TO make peace, since the
war has been forced upon us. We want still more
arms, munitions Of war, etc, and we can get them
more speedily from the enemy than We can by any
other means. Two or three more such battles as
that of Manassas will furnish the South with us
many large and small arms as will be needed for
our defence until our Government shall be able to
manufacture for itself, To make peace at present
would be to ruin the prospects Of the Confederate
States in this respect. Montgomery Mail.

From the saIue source We also learn tlst Tue
Federal forces at Cairo and Birds Point number
fourteen thousand, and that there are two thousand
at Norfolk, on the river, five miles below Birds

FROM RIcHNoSD-The Riehmond Examiner OF

FROM RICHN0SD.-The Richmond Examiner of
the 9th has the following:
We stated some days ago that ihe Confederate
Congress had decided toaI gely increase the army
There have been long debates as to ths justice and
necessity Of the particular measure Of increase,
while there is no hesitation rs TO the policy Of an
increase to some degree. We learn that the propO-
son which still continues the subject of debate, is
the increase Of the army to the extent of 0,> 7tTl
d1ed thousand men. In the estimation OF many Of
the members Of Congress, this amount Of force will
not be undue il view OF the present military prepa
ratioas present attempts in that direction OF the
Lincoln Government, and will contribute to rapid
and decisive termination of hOstes
An important commercial regulation has been
adopted by Congress, in its enactment Of the extern
sion Of the prohibition Of the exporaion Of cotton
except through tue Confederate ports The eXten-
sion covers rice, sugar, molasses and Syrups. The
prohibition is to be continued during the existence
Of the blockade, and is fortified By several penal
ties amounting to fire Or Imprisonment OF the per-
son violating the same, and the forfeiture to the
| Government of any steamboat or railroad car en-
gagged in the transportation of these staples to an
| Illegal port.

Miss Eliza Wilson.-Not little curiosity

Miss Eliza Wilson.-Not little curiosity
and wonder is expressed at the announcement
that Miss FILA Wilson. the accomplished
daughter of Capt. WILSON of MenolnoAec,
Dunn Co. goes as virandiere to tie 5th Regi-
ment. She is attended by one female servant,
furnishes her own camp and equipments. and
defrays her own expenses. She leaves her
home in which she is surrounded by every ele-
gance and luxury that wealth can bestow, and
goes forth upon her mission of humanity. This
is heroism. Henc, forth, the name of Mics
Wilson is to pass TO history, perhaps to re-
nown.
Being storm bound o: Sunday, some SIX
weeks ago. we passed the day at the house OF
Capt. Wilson, at Menomonee. The site is the
most marked and picturesque OF any inland
town in the State. The residence of the Cap
tain, in style and appointments far exceeds
any north of Wisconsin river. Here we met
Miss Eliza. She appears not over "a years OF
age, Of fine figure and medium size, brown
hair, dark blue eyes, and of most engaging
and expressive features, At home and among
her neighbors she is almost idolized. She has
| been rightly and highly educated. She takes
little interest in tops and fashion plates. She
will give her hand to sun-browned, red
shifted raftsman. sooner than those who set Up
for their betters. Her sympathies are with
the wronged and her ia til in the right. she
will neither betray the one, nor compromise
the other News of the Great Bethel disas-
ter had Just reached her, at the time of our vis-
it, and her whole soul seemed 10 go out to the
brave fellows who were sacrificed She was
particularly grieved at the fate of Winthrop.
For long hour she talked of the REBELLION,
with the causes that led to it, with degree of
intelligence, we have seldom heard equaled.--
She expressed her determination te give her
service. and her life if need be. to her country.
Miss Wilson goes to the wars, not because a
''lovyer" may have gone before. or may be iol-
lowing after. She is no inoon-struck enthus-
last. She is girl of rare sense and the no
bl,st impulses. In the day of trial her pres
ence will be found to strengthen and inspire;
in the time of suffering, to succcr and to
bless.-Corresponden of the La Crosse Rcpub-
l5can.

Hotel Wanted If the business interests
of this town urgently demand any thing, it is
a new, large, commodious Hotel. There is
not a town on the Mississippi, between DSn-

has not twice as large Hotel, and no town
needs one more Look at the fremont al d

well kept tables well supplied. but no one
is nearly large enough. Every business man,
ev9ry property holder in tie city suffers f. ON
this want.
1t has been suggested to us that an elegant

raratively small cost, by putting up brick

pied by Beardsley & Lyford ON the Levee

Joe W1ggln turned up.---Our city read
ers are acquainted with the gentleman whose
name is at the head ofthe article. Last Spring
he went to raising garden vegetables in Min
nesota, and was frequently seen in our streets,
but for some weeks past he has been missing,
and we began to fear that some summer dis
ease had been the death of him, when we found
the following mention of him in the Chicago
Ercning Journal. Joe was not very war-like
when last here, but we suppose the Bull Run
affair fairly dragged him away from his corn
and cucumbers. Here is what the Journal
says. Every one will recognize the identity
of Joe by the confidence in the young man.
"Joseph Virgins came TO town to go for a
soldier. He brought his bundle along. and a
SIN: Ii sum of cash which his good mother gave
him when she kissed him goodbye. and babe

old shotgun also which she put into his hands
with stern inlunctons not to disgrace its ven

He went TO firs' -class boarding-house on the
recommending Of a voting man whom he met
at the depot. The boarding house was in a
cellar on Water street, bot he thought it was
right, or the young man would not have said
so. He went to bed with the gun under his
Pillow. Tho end stuck out; and fellow
boar, err insisted that it would shoot somebody,
and pulled it away from him. That was the
last he saw of the old gun. and he had dreams
about his mother on the strength of its sudden
loss. He got up IN the morni g. and found
his Iantaloons on another man, who reluct-
antly gave them back. but forgot to return the
little bund of money which VS. done up i'll

and he discovered his peck. handkerchief peep

his coat. but all he had after breakfast was his
pantaloons and shit He concluded there
as no PATRIOTISM in the souls of b. arding-
house-kee gers, and went home with the de-
termination not to enlist until they learn to
treat fellow better when he comes down
with heart full of enthusiasm to serve his
