Letter from Capt. Finnicam's Company.

4 Camp Arlington, Va, Feb. TO-
MR. CovER-Dear Sir. This morn
ing finds us all well and in unsual good
spirits, owing to the receipt Of the news Of
brilliant victories over the rebels at Forts
henry and Donelson and Roanoke Island.
The boys are all wild with enthusiasm,
and hail our success as a harbinger Of
what is to fellow. But let me add for the
boys in whose behalf | take upon myself
tie task Of writing you this note that we
like soldering like the idea Of sustaining
our glorious Union; yet we like to have
our rights here as well as at home But
] am sorry to say that those rights which
are 50 sacred TO Wisconsin men have been
abused in a manner that calls forth our in
dignation. You are aware when IN officer
resigns his commission the company have
the privilege Of choosing another in bis
place. Well. sometime ago Lieut.. G. NJ.
Meyer, Of our company, resigned, when we
we're called together for the purpose OF
electng the man Of our ehoice--a corporal
carrying til, ballot by forty-six majority,
thinking as a matter Of course our proceed
ings would be approved of; but it is an
old saying that "There's many slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip" The proper time
arriving for US to expect our man to receive
his commission, thing Of course our rights
would be respected as men who have the
right to vote, but that was not to be, and
Instead Of the rightful one being promoted,
our Orderly stepped forth with straps on
his shoulders, which honestly belonged to
another and better man.
Now, if this Is treatingus as soldiers, or
as men who are willing to sacrifice their
lives, homes, and all that is dear to them,
for their country's cause, then we will
submit and bear patiently like men who
know their duty; yet we wish to be heard,
fcr we think there's something wrong, but
are unable to see why there should be, as
oar man passed good examination, the
Major being heard to say that he knew as
much about military matters as he (the
Naior) did. One naturally concludes that
we are not served right.
We ask you as favor to insert this in
your paper that our officers may know our
sentiments regarding their action IN this
matter. Please not TO think that we mean
I'd be disrespectful to those that are OR
superiors. No, no; we simply wish to let
cur friends know how our rights are re-
spected-to have voice which all true
Americans are entitled to. Moreover, al
low me, fer the boys, thank you, for your
kindness in sending your paper, as it is q
source Of great pleasure to US, coming as
it does from home.
Yours, DC, YAEKEE.

AN UNCONDITIONAL Surrender
When the rebel commanders at Roanoke
Island d lit Donelson asked our victorious
Generals on what terms they could capitu-
late, the answer was pointed and decisive
al unconditional surrender When
Buckner, in Fort Donelson, asked Gen.
Grant on what terms be could treat with
him, the reply was 'jmmediats and uncon-
ditonal surrender These are the terms
upon which the whole rebellion will event
ually Be crushed. The American people
are not cruel or vindictiye; they are more
apt to pardon otfenses which should be
punished than to iEtlict unmesited chastiss-
Inant. But the armed foes Of the kepuo-
lie must and will be vanquished and dls-
pelsed, and all must Internationally SUD
nit to the National authority. This = tne
only compromise that is possible with the
rebels. This misguided rank and iile WI
nave their lives spared; but The ring-lead-
ers must be hung or driven into exile, =
This rebellion must be 90 closed up tfla'

MANY Facts IN SMALL COMPASS
The number Of languages spoken is 4,064.
The number Of men is about equal to the
number Of women. The average of hui
man life is SO years. One-quarter die be-
fore the age Of seven, one half before
the age of seventeen. To every thou
sand persons one only reaches one hundred
years. and not more than one in FIVE hun
bred will reach eighty years. There are
ca the earth 1000, 100000 inhabitants.
Of these 33,333, 1898 die every year, 81
324 die every day, 1850 every hour, and
go every minute, or one e. ~ second
These losses are about balanced by an
equal number Of births. The married are
longer lived than single, and above all
those who OF Is we a sober and industrious
conduct. Tai men live longer than short
ones. Women have more chances Of life
previous to the age Of so years than men,
but after that fewer Tie number Of mar
riages Is in the proportion Of 76 to 100
Marriages are more frequent after the
equinoxes, that is, during the months Of
June and December. Those born in spring
are more robust than others. Births and
deaths are more frequer BY night than By
day.

Dispatches received at headquarters Of
the Department Of the West this morning
announce that the army under command
Of General Curtis had again routed General
Price, together with the force sent to his
assistance BY the Confedrates, under Gen.
Ben. McCuIoch, at Gross Hollows, in
Arkansas. This was the place at which
Price expected to make q last determined
sand. Ii is forty miles from the Missouri
boundary line, and point at which des-
perate resistance might well be made.
Gen. Curtis forced Price to leave behind
him all bis military stores, and also bis
sick and wounded Previous to his aban-
donment Of the ground he ordered all his
camp equpage to be burned, aud it was
done.
Gen. Curtis. in his despatch to Gen,
HaIleck, says "Most of our provisions
for the last ten days have been taken from
the enemy. Price had burned the extern
siye barracks at Cross Hollow, to prevent
our troops from occupying them"

AN INcIDENT.-An incident recently
came to our knowledge OF awakening
conscience" and tardy justice that may not
be unnteresting to our readers. The facts,
as nearly as we can learn them, are rs fol-
lows: A young lady, named Jane Muir
ply, . resident IF this city, went to La
Crosse some time since to work, and while
there was accused Of theft--the stealing
Of some $50, as we are informed. She
protested her innocence, but was arrested
aud imprisoned. By some compromise
with tho accusing party, or q failure Of the
prosecuting witnesses to appear, however,
She was discharged. But the brand Of
"thcf' was on her, and it is too well known
how utterly this charge vii blast the repu-
tation Of a girl compelled to earn her living
by service. She turned to this place: but
owing to the report Of Der crime following
her. She was unable to procure any en-
plovment whatever. "A few days since We
received from Mark NJ. Pomeroy, Editor
Of the La Crosse Democrat letter, in-
curing if a girl named Jane Murphy lived
here, and requesting US to hand Der an en-
closed note, which contained the inforna-
ton that a man residing in that place, had,
on his deathbed, confessed to the commit
ting of the crime with which she was
charged, and bad left her SUN Of money
as some reparation for the suffering she
bad undergone through bis instrumental
ty. Her joy en- receiving this evidence q
her innocence can DO imagined. -Bctoa

Iron Glad War Vessels.


Strange as it may seer. the fist trial Of
iron clad war vessels against hostile shot,
are those made by Com. Foote at Forts
Henry and Doneson. The monster yes
sells Of England and France, the Warrior
and La Gloire, etc, upon the construction
Of which engineers predicted q revolution
in naval warfare, have encountered no enc
nsy's heavy shot. All the experiments
which have been made by the British Adj
nliralty, 70 test the resistance Of heavy ar
NOR upon the timber walls Of ships, are Of
less practical value than the results Of this
actual trial by Commodore Foote's fiotila
against the heavy guns Of land batteries
These results, Of which we presume a
scientific resume will be given, arc undoubt-
edIy sufficient to demonstrate the great val
ne Of the iron armor. Although the
weight and thickness of the iron upon
thsse boats is much less than that proposed
by Naval Engineers abroad, it suliced sue
ceasfully to resist heavy shot, many Of
which glanced from this impenetrable case
ana speat their remaining impetus in the
sir. Something Of this is doubtless due
10 the form Of the vessels, but this also is
il d part Of the construction which may
enter into the plans Of similar vessels here

Tho Financial Poli5 of ihs Government

The financial policy Of the Government
has at last as sumed q fixed shape 1t is,
1st. Issue one hundred millions Of Cur
rencY Notes, in addition to the fifty mil
HoEs authorized by the extra session Of Con
gress last July. The fifty millions are in
IS, los, and 2Os; the new issue viii To
sos, zoos, 500s and l,oo0s. Both issues
are made legal tender, and they are fund
able into Q IS Ct twenty-yoar Federal
Stock.
Cd, Enormous taxation--say one-half OF
R cent, on sll real and personal prop.
erty; 25T0l00 ~ cent. on imports: also
anendless list Of tolls on acknowledgements
MANUFACTURES, &c. This estimate is to
raise fully two hundred millions revenue
say sixty to seventy millions for interest,
one hundred millions for current Govern
ment purposes and the balance for a sink
ing fund.
Theories as to where We are drifting, and
as to what the end will be, are Of but little
use at present. Our domestic troubles
and our foreign relations are resting on
too nlany contingencies to admit Of specu-
lations; but these principles will hold
good.
If the people fail to support ana sus-
tain the Government, our country falls in
to chaos. If the Federal securities are not
good, no property in the country is good.
If any paper currency is good, the Govern
ment currency is good. The rebellion has
bouad the Free States, and the Federal
Government together; every Northern
State will come to the rescue Of the Gov
ernment, if financial aid is necessary there
fore State Stock is no safer than a Fed
eral Stock. BY means of the Government
currency, the Treasury Notes and y. s.
Stock, the people are under bonds to sus-
tain the Government. Still we do not say
that the holders Of these papers have any
more interest in the welfare Of the country
than owners Of lands houses, mechanics,
manufacturing investments, de-, The peo-
pie ofWhatever class, and however circum-
starced, are on board the national ship
One fate awaits us all.
All the terror about great papermon-
ey explosion will die away when it is I'M
derstood that its effect is limited to the put
ting of U. S. s cts. up to par; for then
the currency will flow into the Stocks as.
fast as it is put out. 1t has been and stin
is ouropinion that one hundred millions
is the maximum Of outstanding Demapd
