We have not, until the beginning Of this
wicked rebellion, had occasion to agree
very cordially with Hon. n. A. Richard
son, the Representative in Congress from
the fifth district Of Illinois, and even since
the war commenced, his course has not
been altogether such as we could praise;
but his latest moyemcnt-that which looks
to the punishment Of the leaders Of the reb-
el ar1uy-has our earnest approbation; and
wetrust, that, having his face turned in the
right direction, he will go ahead with no
tardy and falteriog step. Certainly, if in
the whole catalogue Of human ofenses
there is one crime which merits human
penalties, that parent Of all other crimes
causeless rebellion that which the most
fearful penalties should follow, For the
guilty authors, not only the EXTREMIST rig
Or Of the law, but the hearty execrations Of
all mankind, should be invoked; and the
Government will neither do itself nor the
causc Of civil liberty justice, il, in a spirit
Of Cancellation, and By mistaken
NItucAE4s IL Suoluu thA vi Ats uutt
in regard to the Davises,
Beauzegards, Wiscs, Cobbs and others Of
that ilk, who will eventually fall into its
hands And it is not now too early to in
form the Government Of the hope Of the
Northern people that the liyes, Of the great
| army Of their sons and brothers may be
| atoned for by the righteous execution OF
the men who, before the war is over, will
| send the sting of death ito almost every
family in the land If we know the men
Of the North, they are not yindictiye; but
with a.: proper sense Of what is
due to offended justice and to the future
security Of our Institutions against other
attempts to destroy, they will demand, that
w1ilethe ignorant and deluded masses o1
the rebel army, who have been seduced
/ into crime, are tenderly and mercifully
treated, the unhdllowed ambition Of Their
leaders who have become criminal agains!
Light and knowledge, shall be reprcssed by
the EXTREMIST penalties provided by the
Law. This, We assume, is the object Of the
action which Mr. Richardson has taken
and in this country viii yield him. hearty

all right TO be prepared for emergen-
cies. An Indian outbreak is not i'm
possible at the present time or during
the coming winter. An efficient or
ganization, and a perfect understanding
with those in the northern outskirts of
the county, would be safeguard
against attack. An hundred arms or
more could without doubt be obtained
on application, which should be done
at once if al al. With these precau-
tons, we are safe from any attack
certainly surprise.
We are informed that Sheriff La
vigne and some other of our citizens
attended a harvest dance at the Bayou
to ascertain what trouble, if any, actu-
ally existed. Some one hundred and.
fifty are probably encamped in the
county, and from all reports are as bad

ASSAULT WITH INTENr.-We notice
by the Sentinel that the local Of that
sheet, Mr.. Wheeler, was very uncere-
moniously knocked down by the Lieut..
Colonel of the SigeI Regiment, en-
camped in the City of Bricks, for bur-
lesquing the Indian raid in and about
Port Washington. Milwaukee seems
to be gaining an enviable q reputation
for mobs, assaults, &C., &c. Why
didn't you carry a pocket 6utton.hole
puncher, Wheeler? As We publish in
this issue short account Of the Indian
epidemic in this section, we perhaps
may be visited by some cholic cuss,
whose love for the squaws exceeds ev-
erything but love for himself If 80.
why, Wen do what we can to convince
the pup tina: there's God in Israel,
even if we have to give him personal
introduction. We notice that Gov.
Solomon has disgraced the whelps COM
hitting the assault, by placing them.
under arrest, depriving them tempora:
rily Of their commands, subjecting 9TH
ers to extra guard duty, &c. Bully for
the Executive. If the Governor would
cause an injunction to be served on tho
Lieut.. Coloners wind pipe, to expire in
thirty days, we presume the epaulstted
devil would feel more at home in few
hours than he now does. The idea Of
disgracing such an incarnate piece Of
mechanism is rather an original one.

E~The ReDuhlican Tnion Convar

#The Republican Union Conven-
ton of the Green Bay Congressional
District, put in nomination for Con
gress, Hon. E. L. Browne, of Wau.
paca, the present State Senator from
this district. The Madison Journal,
in speaking of this nomination, says:
"Senator Brownies first appearance
in public life was two years ago, when
he was elected to the State Senate
He at once, however, took prominent
position in that body, which included
among its members some Of the ablest
men in the State, and has since main
tanned it. A young man little more
than thirty years of age, full of ener-
gy, possessed Of indomitable perseve-
rance, a fluent and impressive speaker,
3 devoted and unwavering advocate OF
vigorous measures in dealing with trait
ors, the nomination in question could
not have been more fortunately bestow-
ed. He is eninently positive man,
one Of the upright and downright kind,
whose position ON public measures will
never, If We do Eot utterly mistake his
character, be matter of doubt. We
like to see such men put in nomination
for Congress. There never was a time
when the country more needed the SER
vices of wide-awake, earnest and posi-.
tive men than now, and such a maa is
E. l.. Browne. His election, by an
emphatic majority, i'll the loyal and pat
riotic Fifth District, car:..ut be a mat

nished throughout with the most ap.
proved machinery, including twenty
three of Fairbanks 500 bushel Hopper
scales, which is a sufficient guaranty
that correct weights will be given. Be.
sides these, the Messrs Fairbanks have
set IN this city i'll little more than a
year, about seventy 500 bushel Hopper
scales and a dozen or so smaller ones,
making over hundred in all. So per-
feet is the machinery, that each scale
may be loaded and unloaded in ten or
twelve minutes, which gives some idea
OF the enormous amount OF grain which
may be weighed upon them all in a
single day. Let the Farmers of the
Northwest raise their immense crops of
grain, and the railroads and canal trans.
port it to Chicago; there is no doubt
but our means for receiving, storing
and shipping it will keep pace with the
demand. - Chicago Ecening Journal.
