Wisconsin Female College.

The first half of the spring term is now
passed, in few weeks more the term will
close. The summer term will commence
May 10th, The regular College course
embraces term Of three years. There is
also preparatory course, and students are
admitted to either course, or may pursue
any of the studies for which their attain
ments or capacity fits them.
The reputation of the College is good,
and the patronage extended to it, speaks
wellfo the institution and those having
charge of the several departments While
we can say in truth, the College is better
patronized than ever before, still there is
yet room for more Students, and no better
advantages were ever offered in any other
Institution of this kind. Parents having
daughters to educate can safely trust them
here.
The moral tone of community is high,
and commendable respect is paid to man
ners in social life. Religious institutions
are largely,and literally supported, Of what
ever denomination and to all these ad-
vantages enjoyed by the community, the
Students OF the college are welcome.
The Normal Department will be under
the special direction Of the Principal. =
Teachers receive special instruction in ref
erence to their PRECISION. Young Gentle
men are admitted to this Department.
The Principal and his assistant are IN
firing in their efforts to promote the phys
ical, mental, and moral improvements of
pupils entrusted intheir care, The teachers
are we'll liked and respected by the pupils
and the community. We hear no CON-
plants from either side. .-...-...-r
The Female College is in prosperous
condition, and may it continue so is our
earnest desire Foe Lake Gazette.

Gen. Mcclellan to the Soldiers.

This gallant and much abused general
has issued an order to his soldiers which
has the ring of genuine metal. 1t sounds
like business. It puts one in mind of Ma
poleon. What could suit the public mind
better than this: 81 shall demand of you
great and heroic exertions-rapid and
long marches-desperate combats and pri-
vations." He says " the moment for ac-
ton has arrived" That will please the
soldiers and the country.
Gen. Mcclellan has been abused from
one side Of the country to the other with
out grounds. He is now going to vindi-
cate himself. He has been busily at work
ever since his appointment as commander

summated and he has taken the field
Had he been of different metal he might
have given way to the clamor of restless
politicians, and more restless people and
"gone it blind, but he had the courage
to say to politicians and the people alike,
"Stand back, know my business and
shall perform nay duties Of the long
delay of advance from Washington to
Richmond, much has been said pro and con.
In his address he says =" For long time
| have kept you inactive, but not with
out purpose. You were to be disciplin-
ed, armed and instructed" The general
has now been relieved of command of the
forces of the U. S. and has taken the field
at the head of the army of the Potomac,
and be will now show the country that be

country as his dearest principle. Little

we would bet on him as being the right

Perhaps no command in the whole army
taking everything into account, presents a
better appearance or promises greater
efficiency, than the one of which we are
writing. 1t numbers 1,150 as staunch and
reliable men as could be found in the Badg-
er State. They are principally young, of
moro than ordinary intelligence, of good
habits, and with hearts and minds for the
work. Nearly every man in the regiment
is teetotaler, in theory and practice, and
all are right upon the slavery question:
They have not left their friends and home
comforts TO become negro catchers, but say
they '.march to put down rebellion and let
slavery take care of ITSELF. The regiment
is as yet only supplied with sabers, but it
is expected that carbines or navy revolvers
will soon be furnished. They have with
them one hundred and thirty horses, and
saddles, and horse equipments for tho en-
tire regiment. They will get the remain

Important Decisions by the Supreme
Court

The Supreme Court has decided in the
case of Oatman VS. Bond that the farm
mortgage stay law is unconstitutional.
1t has also decided in the case of Knee
land VS. The City of Milwaukee, against the
validity of all taxes levied from 1855 to
1860 on the ground that the law of 1854
exenpting railroad property from ordina-
airy taxation upon payment of certain
percentage of the gross earnings into the
State treasury, is illegal. because there is
want of uniformity in the tax levy, as
required In section one of article eight CT
the constitution. This will create hutter
among the holders of tax certificates.
