Departure OF h 34th Regiment.

The Bath Wis. Regiment broke up camp, at nil
waukee, on Saturday last. and left for the Land
of Dixie" The train bearing the Regiment went
through our city, a little past nine inthe evening
Although the trains hardly stopped here, it is said
that several jumped off the cars, and succeeded
in getting away.
This Regiment is composed entirely of Drafted
men, aud numbers about COO. 1t is commanded
by Col ANNEKE, an old and experienced soldier
The Milwaukee Sentinel says, the Regiment cop-
sisted of about 75J men, but from discharges, de-
sertions, and "the intense efforts of certain patri"
OTIS, = its numbers have dwindled down to 60O,-
The Regiment is ordered direct to Columbus, KY.
Most of the men drafted from this county, we
understand, are in camp at Madison, but one o.
the companies of the 31th was Differed by Keno
sha men. Among the officers of Company D., are
let Lieut.. E. NJ. S~cribner, and 2nd Lieut.. w. w

The Paper Monopoly.

From the N, I. Independent.
Hon. Schuyler Colfax has lately
submitted t Congress two very inn
portant measures both of which, in our
Judgment should be Immediately adj
opted. The first proposes a reduction
of the tariffon imported printing paper
and the other allows the duties on all
imported goods to be paid in legal
tender notes instead of gold, with thir
ty, three per ceut added
The present high price o~fprinting pa
per was brought about by a bold com
bination of paper manufacturers. They
though t the present a good time for a
speculation, and they went to work as
deliberately to carry out their plans as
the long-headed sharpers do in Wall
street, when they wish to raise the
price of Harlem. Hudson River or
Cumbeland. Like all other matters,
questions, and projects, however, this
Bull movement, on the part of the
paper manufacturers, has two sides to
tone the profit side, and the other
the loss side. One side consists in
buying rags at a low price, aud the
other side consits in selling white pa
per to the Independent and other Jour
nails at a high price. 1t so happened
that this new breed of Bulls could not
see an inch further into the future than
any other human animal. Before they
had so far completed their plans as to
be ready to turn round and makelarge
purchases of stock, the rag-dealers got
wiud of their movements, and honestly
thought that they too might make a
speculation.
So they positively had no rags
for sale" They declared that they
were not Sin the market" A few
manufacturers, however, were SC for
~tunate as to get considerable stock
during the process of making the COM
bination, but a majority found out to
their astonishment that they were
"seld," that they were worse off than
before the combination, that they had
stirred up an excitement unparalleled in
their line of trade, and that, instead of
a large profit ''as a sure thing" the
surest thing to them, in prospect, was
"a loss. However, the ragsdealers
and the paper manufacturers have
surely made a general muss; and what
the~~people ask for, now, is a little
wholesome Legislation, so that they
can again have have their books, news
papers and periodicals-the staff of
life to this brsin>headed race-at fair
prices. The present tariff on prints
ing paper brings IN little or no rev
enue, SO that its reduction to five per
cent, or its Adjustment altogether,
would benefit botn government and
the people. Many are in favor Of the
suspension of the law entirely for two
or three years,and we are inclined to
think such a step would be preferable.
The cost,of paper for Government pur-
poses, at present rates, vii! be an en-
orlnuS sum the present year. 1t is the
duty of Congress to take action at the
earliest possible moment, and we hope
Mr.. Colfax will give the matter his
best attention.

SalutatOPy

The undersigned having associated himself
with the former proprietors of the "Kenosha
Teiepraph" herewith makes his bow to the cit
liens Of Kenosha County in general, and to the
patrons of the Telegraph and to his friends in
par.icular-He hopes the connection may prove
agreeable to all as well as profitable to himself
1t will be his intention i'll conjunction with
his associates. to make the Telegraph tie best
family newspaper in the state if possible. He
hopes also to make it acceptable to all and Of
fensive to none. Politically The creed of the
paper is we'll known. ItIis, and will be for the
Union unqualitiedly and against the rebellion
uncompromisingly.
Though the privileges of the press may be
abused, it is nevertheless the forum Of the
people, and one of the Safeguards of liberty.
The undersigned believes and trusts thai in
his use of the press he will: render it at least
injuriously to no one, but perhaps edifying to
many Of his triends.
He modestly asks for the encouragement and
the patronage of all those who have heretofore
extended him the hand OF friendship, and hopes
that our hands may all be strengthened, in the
great work of restoring our beloved country
to its former prosperity and happiness.

The meeting was quite affecting. evcn the

Inc FORT constructing here, on the south OF
the CITY, Is on a large scale, many hundreds o
dwellings,, and some of them very handsome
buildings are being demolished to give space
tor the operation of their guns. An attack on
Memphis by the rebels would probably result
III its destruction, as the guns OF the Fors
would blow the city to atoms.
No persons are allowed to do business here
unless they take the oath of allegiance and the
consequence is that many of the business men
had retired and strangers fill their places. Inc
business of Memphis has been very dull, It's
markets have been glutted with all KINDS OIL
goods and merchandise aud the prohibition OF
Intercourse with the country, has rendered It's
profitable disposition slow business. The recent
influx of troops, and their departure southwark
has taken off a portion of the stocks, but still
many kinds of goods are sold at auction at less
than they can be purchased for at the North.
Last week the authorities, here demolished
a mall town, about FIVE miles up, on the oth-
er side ofthe river, for harboring the guerrilla's
that burned the steamer Musselman, to which
1 alluded in my last. This is a righteous pol
icy and the only one that will cure the disease.
If lawless rebels will destroy the property
of unarmed citizens, they should expect to see
the property of their friends share the same
fate. a'=c~sr"
Memphis must have been u good place for
business in the days of peace. Many of its
buildings, both private aud public are large
and elegant, and evince both wealth and taste.
The Court House park is a very pretty piece
of ground, about as large as one of the blocks
in Kenosha, filed with a variety of trees Of which
the Magnolia is now the most conspicuous, the
large trees are filled with boxes and inhabited
by quite a colony of black and grey squirrels
which are the special pets Of the citizens.
The election of a member of Congress comes
off to day.ivery little interest is manifested in
tho result, as the person elected can only serve
a few days. Yours.

THE CRoPs-THE EFFECT OF THE
SOFT WINTER UPON WHEAT.-It is
feared that the result of continued soft
weather upon the wheat crop will be
luxurious. Let us see. In Tennessee
and Northern Mississippi, where the
average of the Winters are just like
this one here, good wheat crops are
obtained more regularly than in our
h~ard-freezing region. 1t Is not soft
weather in Winter that INJURIES wheat,
but freezing and thawing, or excessive
cold weather without snow. AS the
case now stands we do not apprehend
any danger to the wheat crop. Coun~
try papers would do a service by pub
fishing little items like the following
from a Kansas apper:
Information from different parts
of the State in regard to crops is be-
fore us. Our Topeka correspondent
writes that wheat in Jefferson and
Shawnee Counties generally looks fair
and in some instances exec edlngly
fine. Northern members of the Leg
i~slature, report that in Brown, Nemaha
Doniphan, and other counties very lit
tie is expected; while in some cases
the fields will be plowed up and plants
ed to corn. In the South a great deal
has been sown, aud the prospect is
fair for a good crop, especially in Linn,
Miami, Lyon and Bourbon Counties
