A Good Beginning.

W. j. WRIGGLFswoRTH, Esq, the
senior partner Of the CHRONICLE firm,
spent some four days last week in the
Towns of Linden and Miffiin, obtaining
sixteen subscribers for the CHRONICLE
and nine for the Chronological War
Record. Many thanks to them for such
practical wishes for our success. Be-
sides there were many others who have
promised to do likewise in short time.
a good list Of paying subscribers will
always make good paper. Should the
other portions Of the county respond as
nobly we shall have list of subscribers
of which many county newspaper mi ght
be envious
Our partner says the crops of the
farmers are good, the wheat turning out
from fifteen to twenty-five bushels per
acre, and that oats, corn and potatoes
are proportionably good, and thea the
prices our farmers are receiving, 85 to
l95c for wheat, 40 to Soc for corn and
soc. for oats, with the prospect Of still
higher prices makes farming paying
business this year, which indeed it al
ways is when properly carried on.
Mr.. W. also says the Union sentiment
is good in the section where he has been,
indeed much better than he expected to
find it, and that the prospect Of the sue
cess of the Union Republican ticket on
the third Of November next, both for
the county and state is promising.

FINE APPLEs-We were too much
hurried last week to do anything more
than to destroy and admire the excellent
flavor of those great apples presented to

of the man who delights in SO profitable
and pleasant an employment. Among

Bippin, Twenty ounce Pippin, Shaker
Yellow, Vandevere Pippin, etc, all no
bic fruit of their different varieties. Mr..

J BUsINEss.-The Tribune saws that
business in their city is becoming un-
usually active. Our warehouses are fill
ed with grain, and still it continues to
pour in upon US. The streets are con-
stantly filed with loads of wheat, corn,
oats, potatoes, &C., all of which bring
high prices in cash, to the great joy of
the farmers. The Mineral Point Rail
road runs an extra train daily, to carry
off the produce, but cannot get cars suf-
fcient to keep up with the amount bro't
for shipment
Now fellow citizens of Dodgeville and
vicinity, II we only had this railroad ex-
tended to the center of the county-to
our beautiful little village, zee might
have lively business times too.

treat the gracious pardon of Little Grow end beg

We had supposed that the fend;sh maignity

the unprovoked and indiscrimina,e murder OF
meu, women and children-innocent OF any crime
but their color-was the exceptional peculiaritv
Of races brutalized by long ages of sordid bar
barism, and that the Indian was the only mon
sser on the continent capable of such appalling
atrocities.
But alter reading the account of the Detroit
riot given in yeste rdays Press, where hundreds
Of white Copperheads were banded together like
wild beasts to hun. Down parcel OF poor unof-
Tending negroes to cruel and pi,iless slaughter,
we have come &c the conclusion that indians are
tolerabiy good Christians. And if there is any
good reason why these Dssrot Sepoys should be
permitted to disgrace the earth with their living
presence, any longer than is requisite to make
the necessary preparations for their execution,
we cannot for the lite of US see why the hand of
Christian fellowship should not be extended to
the followers of Little Crow, or why the fuga-
cous chiefs of those assassin bands should not
be regarded as available candidates for Congress

3 The Chicago Times says that the election
IL Ne" Hampshire was an emphatic condemua-
tion OF the Administrator I; The election Of a
Union Governor, OF two out Of three, il not all
three, of the members of Congress, of threc>
sou,ths Of tie S ate Senate and House, If this is
coade nEation Of the Administration, We shall
not complain if We have much more oi the same
sort.
The Times is trying to fatter its ignorant
readers into the idea that the Copperheads have
something to hope for in Connecticut. 1t would
have them believe that success there is an abso.
Lutte certainty! We are no prophet and shall
make no predictions about the election in that
State. We feel very easy about it, however.
We understand that the Union men there are
wide awake-are doing their duty, intend to
vote, and expect to make the Copperheads
writhe terribly. These facts are quite satisfac
tory to us. We think they ought to be to 9TH
ers. II the result is not even more agreeable 10
the patriotic than that in New Hampshire we
shall be disappointed. But whatever the result
may be the Times and all the rest of the Cop.
perheads will swear it is a condemnation of the
Administration. They assume that their read
ers are all "foos, to believe lie" and invaria.
bly, act on the assumption! They are mistaken
as to some of them at all events.

division of the public sentiment at home, and
the many Misrepresentation there current, in
regard to their condition and sentiments, deem,
it proper to make the following statement:
First. That we now entertain the same views
in regard to the justness of the cause for which
we are fighting, aud the unnatural wickedness
OF the rebellion, that induced US to volunteer
and leave our families and homes.
Second. That in spite of all hardships in the
held and reverses and discouragements, we still
ieel unlimited confidence in our Government to
suppress the rebellion, end instead of desiring a
peace or truce, we on the contrary are unalter-
ably opposed to making any terms with armed
rebels and will not willingly consent to peace or
cessation of hostilities short of the comnlete
restoration of the authority of the Government
in all the districts now in rebellion against il.
Third. That we regret the existence in our
State OF the bitter party spirit by which men
with loyal instincts and naturally patriotic feel.
ings are induced to express sentiments of hos
