Wisconsin Legislature.

A special session of the Wisconsin
Legislature convened at Madison on
the 10th inst. In the Assembly II. l..
Parker, of Milwaukee, was elected
Speaker, and J. S. Dean, Chief Clerk
In the Senate. q. w. Hazelton was re,
elected President, and j. III. Warren
Chief Clerk. The Governors message
was received and from it we extract
the following: II .t#ttL
"The fearful consequences of an
unexpected attack of)the savages up
on our peaceful communities can hard
ly be imagined but the recent panic
in some Of the most densely popula-
ted parts Of our State, must be sol
cmn warning to us to be prepared.
After the regiments now in organiza-
tion in our State shall have left, the
savage warriors within our borders,
if melted to similar atrocities as the
Sioux; tribe in Minnesus, could plum
der and murder OR peaceful. citizers
by thousands, if we do not arm and
prepare ourselves. We cannot rely
upon protection by the strong arm of
the General Government i'm such an
emergency its help would be too tar
dy. When the Minnesota massacre
occurred, and the citizens Of our from
tier counties sent in requests and del
egations to me, l immediately applied
to the. Secretary of War, Mr.. Stanton,
by telegraph, for arms and 'ammuni-
ton. After repeated dispatches sta
ting our condition, and asking for am
munition, and after many days elapsc,
an answer came from that officer say
ing that he did mol kaoac there mere In
dams an Wiseoasia!
1.-The time and attention Of the Sec
rotary of War is evidently and natu-
rally SO much engrossed with the
movements Of our great army; that
prompt action can hardly be expected
i'll case of any disturbances on our
frontier. After more than two weeks
from the time of the massacre, Mime
sofa was yet without sufficient arms,
and applied to us for aid. i trust and
hope that no such disturbances will
arise in our State, but the surest mode
of avoiding danger is to be prepared
for it. We should become familiar
with the thought that, in the present
condition of our country we must be-
come warlike people. Every com
mnnity should be prepared to defend
itself" ...t.....,. ...t

:" FOreWarned, Forearmed."

We were mortified and chagrined
most deeply to notice how few of our
Home Guards came. out to drill in this
town on Saturday last. a people SO
slothful, so Indifferent to their own
welfare and the welfare of the coun-
try do not deserve their liberties and
arc unworthy the blessings of free
Government. Do you know, gentle
men, the dangers that surround you?
Will you, indeed, re-cnact the Nero,
and fiddle while Rome is burning y?
Do you know that the uprising of the
Indians is but part of a preconccrted
and systematic movement, inaugural
ted by the leaders of the rebellion to
crush out your liberties-aye, to des-
olate your land. to pillage, burn and
destroy, after numbering, in the most
barbarous manner, your wives and
children, your sons and daughters,
your brothers and sistcrs? ~
There is abundant evidence going
to show that the Indians are set to
work by those rebel leaders, Sterling
Price, Van Dorm aud Albert Pike.
These men are now collecting large
army in Arkansas, Texas and New
Mexico, for the purpose of rc-taking
Missouri and when that army moves
Northward upon Missouri the Indians
Of the Northwest will move down up
on Iowa, thus distractipg the Union
forces and turning their attention
Northward. This is the rebel pro-
gramme
Will you, Home Guards Of Floyd
county, sit supinely, and with folded
arms indiflerently behold this work
of devastation and death ? If not,
then arouse yourselves show that
