The 9th Regiment.


This is the number of the Regiment of
Volunteers raised in Manitowoc, Sheboy>
gan, and Kewaunee counties, and for
which the necessary number of men has
already been obtained. The Governor has
appointed the following officers thus far:
CONRAD KREz, Of Sheooygan, Colonel
j BRowS, of Sheboygan, IL. Colone:.
TEN EYcK G.. OLMsTED, of Manitowoc,
Major.
WIN. N SKATER, of Sheboygan. Quar-
termaster.
DR.. E. KRAcH, Of Milwaukee, Surgeon.
DR.. Franz SIMON, of Manitowoc, Asst
Surgeon.
We are unacquainted with the military
ability of either of the above gentlemen,
but believe tina, the experience Of all Of
them in the tented field has been very
limited.
We consider the appointment of Major
OLMsrED a capital one. The Governor
could not have done better. Naturally Of
quick, active, and energetic disposition,
first rate horseman, quick 20 learn any
thing that car be learned, we believe that
few weeks experience will place hlr in
an enviable position in the army. His ap
pointmen. has given universal satisfaction
here, and will be hailed with delight by
his friends East and West.
By this appointment, JOSEPH RANKIN,
Esq., becomes Captain Of the Company
raised herefor this Regiment. Captain
RANKIN has no superior in the State for
such position, and the men under his
command will never have occasion to re-
greet their choice. He has filled many
honorable trusts in our county TO the pub
lie satisfaction, and we believe will fill the
new one with honor to himself and coun>
ty.
Tuos MCMILLAN, of Two Rivers, has
been appointed % Lieutenant, and it is
generally supposed that PETER MULHoL-
LAND will receive the 1st Lieutenancy-
With these gentlemen the Company will
be we'll differed, and will not be behind, in
drill and soldierlv conduct, any Company
that has left the State. They will camp
in Milwaukee, and will probably leave here
on Tuesday next.
The Governor made a little mistake in
appointing DR.. SIMON assistant Surgeon,
for no better Surgeon resides in this State
Our citizens unanimously hope that he will
not accept, for they need his services at
home. Should he. however, determine to
60 to the war, we hope the Governor will
place him in bis true position--at the head
of the medical corps.

the rebels yesterday crossed the river this
side of Point of Rocks. Thsy did not ven.

of cavalry and four pieces of artillery
After remaining short time they recross'

strong force are posted at several points
on the opposite shore.
Considerable bodies of rebel infantry
were visible from this side during the day
Their camp fires at night indicates the
presence of larger force of rebels than
was at first supposed.
Washington, Sept. Z.
From one of the Times correspondents
who has just returned from Poolesville, we
learn that on Thursday night the rebels
commenced to cross with cavalry near the
mouth of the Monocacy. They brought
over two regiments of cavalry, threw over
pontoon bridge, crossed with cavalry,
and threw out pickets towards PooIesyille
On Friday about II o'clock column
comm snced to cross, Of infantry and artil-
lery, they were crossing in three places,
besides the bridge, the water being up to
a mans waist. No resistance was offered
to their crossing. Some cavalry who were
| with them were attacked and chased
The houses were closed and the streets
blockaded by the citizens. The farmers

About dusk, Gen. Lee rode into Pooles-
vile, at the head of four regiments of in
fan.ry, and guided by a farmer, who has
been professedly Union man. Their In
fantry went off to the left toward Freder-
lex. The rebel Generals Robert Lee, Hill,
Stuart and Fitzhugh Lee, are with the
man. Their wagon trains were crossing
on Saturday and Sunday morning. The
farmers are bringing in hay and provisions
of all kinds, and giving them away. There
is not loyal man, with one or two excep-
tons, there. The women received them
with flags and tokens of JOY.
Sunday, II P. NJ.
The following account has just been re.
ceived from the Upper Potomac, and is
believed to be reliable: The rebel force
in the neighborhood of Jamestown and
Clarksburg, is estimated at 5000, and is
composed entirely Of cavalry. A body of
the enemy, about 1880 strong, crossed the
river last night at Whitesberry, and are
supposed to be en- route to Frederick
Our forces hold the bridge across Seneca
creek, which was not injured by the rebels
on their return from the recent dash on
Jamestown. 1t has been ascertained that
Jackson crossed the Potomac, opposite the
north mouth of the Monocacy, and passed
along the bank of the stream to Frederick.
A rebel picket, who was captured near
Clarksburg to-day, says Jackson's force is
$4,000.

The Draft !!

Enquiries are made Of us every day as
to when the Draft will be made. For the
benefit of all, we will state that we are in
the dark concerning the matter The
time for enlisting to fill up the old Regi
ments has been extended until the 18th,
and how long after that time before Draft
ing will take place, or whether it will take
place at all, we are unable to tell at the
present time.
Mr.. Villas left here on Tuesday to get
information On the subject, and has not yet
returned from Madison One thing we are
certain of, and that is, we believe Mr.. VI
LAS will do justice by all parties, and that
he will act impartislly and without preju>
dice towards all men and all natjonalities..
The best way, however, to avoid draft,
is for every person who can 60, to volun-
teer Immediately.

The Indian Hoax.

II seems that the Indian excitement
which occurred here last week was not
confined to Manitowoc and lis vicinity
alone, but extended to SheboygaD, Port
Washington, and even to Milwaukee,
Our neighbsrs in Calumet county were
also scared, and underwent all the excite
ment possible. Tie Chiffon Times gives
US the following particulars, and the part
which Judge IL. S. PIERpoSr bore in ii ::
"The inhabitants Of Brllion, Rantoul
Charlestown and Chiffon honored the vii
lagos of GAINESVILLE, Hayton, and Chiffon
with their presence. Picket. were station
ed a. every avenue leading into Graves
vile, and our streets were patrol'ed near
~ all night, until the people were con-
WINGED by Judge Pierpont, of Manitowoc,
and others of the absurdity of the rumors.
The Judge with his rich, mellow voice,
did wonders towards a'Iaying the fears o.
the fair sex. In the morning the excite
ment had nearly died sway, and nearly
every body returned home sleeper if not
wiser people, mad at allowing themselves
to be SO completely sold by such ridiculous
rumors."

The Democratic Address.

We have no apology TO make for taking
up 80 large a portion Of our paper with
the Addrss. to ths People Of the State,
adopted by the Democratic Mass Meeting
which assembled Mt Milwaukee on the Sd
inst. This Address was prepared by the
Hon. f. G. RYAN-a man who is known
to every Wisconsin household as both a
Pauiot and jprist. 1t is an eloquent and
mastery yindiration Of the history and
purposes Of the Democracy, and an appeal
TO the pco! lie to unite in UNFOLDING the
government by defending the Constitution
at tie ballot box and in the field from ali
its enemies, open or disguised, in Office or
out. Though Of unusual length, every
paragraph was greeted with applause, the
Convention repeatedly interrupting the
reader with storm Of cheers. 1t is doc

The Indian Massacres IN Minnesota

The St. Paul Press, of the 2Sih ultimo.
contains clear narrative of the recent
massacres in Minnesota, by OrHER DAY, a
friendly Indian, which throws great ight
on its origin and extent. 1t confirms the
opinions We have previously expressed up
on both these points. Secessionists had
nothing to do with its origin, nor is its ex
tent as great as was feared. Four Sioux,
of LITTLE SKIS band, began the massacre
without generalization, and without or
ganizing an outbreak, by numbering six
white persons at Acton, Meeker county.
They fled to Redwood, and, fearful Of con-
sequences, there took advantage of the pre-
vailing disaflection to excite an insurrec-
ton, hoping to escape personal consequent
ces by plunging the tribe into deeper
crimes. They succeeded, but it is only
the Sioux on or near the reservation who
were implicated in the massacre, or willing
parties to ,t-not more than six hundred

Washington, Sept. 3.
Gen. Mcclellan has been appointed
Commander in- Chief of the armies for the

The enthusiasm of the army on hearing
of the appointment of Gen. Mcclellan to
command them, is represented as being
wild. They ore now ready to turn back

This feeling extends throughout the
whole army of Virginia, and even the sick

Later Accounts Of the Rebel Raid into
Maryland.
New York. Sent.

New ork, sept. I.
The Times has the following dated a,
II o'clock Saturday night: "The latest
from the Upper Potomac states that Jack.
son and his army entered Frederick this
morning. They have possession of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and have
torn up the track and destroyed culverts
egraph. All the rolling stock was say
ed"
Baltimore. Sept. 7.
Fugitives Who left Frederick last night
report the city occupied by about 5000
rebels under Gen. Hill, with cavalry, in
fantry, and artillery. The rebels issued
proclamation promising protection to pri-
vate property, and appointing a provost
guard. Purchases were being made, with
United States Treasury notes, of cattle
and horses, which were sent back toward
the river.
Washington, Sept. 8.
The intelligence received here last night,
and additionally confirmed this morning,
of the occupation of Frederick City, Md,
by the rebel forces, naturally excited much
surprise, mingled with indignation and
alarm. There was but limited opportuni.
ty for obtaining information from that
point, almost all the intelligence coming
by way of Baltimore. The government
authorities received the news early yester-
day evening in written documentary
form, Last night immense bodies of our
troops were in motion for the Upper Poto-
mac and elsewhere, and to day the militia
~ operations continue.
Nearly all the rebel troops have appa'
rently withdrawn from our front. None
in large force remain.
There is no doubt that large reinforce
ments of rebels were yesterday passing
from Ashby's Gap, south of Leesburg, as
intending to cross at Smokers Ferry, which
is between Point Of Rocks and Edwards
Ferry. The rebels move in solid columns,
first cavalry, next artillery, then infants
ry-with their baggage in the rear; and
these again are followed in the same or.
der by similar descriptions Of troops
The people of the valley have contributed
to the subsistence Of the rebels, and doubt
less furnish them with all needed informa.
ton.
Nothing has been heard from our troops
at Harpsr's Ferry and Martinsburg, who
are cut off from reinforcements by the
movement of the rebels toward Frederick.
A gentleman who arrived here to-day,
having left Frederick between and 10 o.
clock last night on horseback, says the
rebel force there is estimated at 10000
men, under Stonewal Jackson. From
this gentIeman's conversation with rebel
soldiers, lie derived the impression that
one of their objects is to destroy the
Northern Central Pennsylvania Railroad,
and otherwise operate in that State, hav.
ing interior designs on Washington and
Baltimore. Our informant was glad to
leave the neighborhood of Frederick,
without caring to remain long to verify his
data.

to day, reports that about 10000 rebels
have passed into Maryland, the main body
