The Tories are boasting Of the wonder
full things they are going to do this year in
Old Kane. willie tue gallant Farnswor4h is
leading Lis brigade against the enemy, and
is thus unable to look after his interests in
the S.cond District. They declare they
will reduce the old fighting Republican
majo,i1y in kane to one thousand. Such
result would forever disgrace the loyal
citizens Of the glorious county, whicl,
boasts such stronghol'1s Of freedom as
Aurcra, Geneva, Elgin, Batavia, St Charles

RENnsH Sent Odd. 1860


Mr.. EDIroR.-I desire to call the attention of
the citizens of Kenosha through the medium of
your valuable paper to some circumstances trans
piring in the Company under Capt. Cook, in whose
welfare they have.a deep intrest. Some members
of said Comdany, dissatisfied with the position
assigned and whose aspirations for themselves
were much higher than those entertained for them
by their comrades, have been assiduously engaged
in trying to spread dissatisfaction in the ranks as
to its first officer and have probaly succeeded to
small extent. A petition has been secretly circu-
lated among the members of the company, for
the purpose of having Capt. Cook removed, and
some one more favorable to their aspirations, ap-
pointed in his stead We do not claim that Capt.
Cook is get thorough military man, but it can
not be denied that he has all the qualifications for
brave, faithful and efficient officer. No officer
could be more generous or do more for his men
than he has done, and we earnestly hope that the
citizens of this place, and those soldiers who val
ne self respect, will frown down this mean and
undetermined attempt to injure one who has thus
far proved himself good officer.
