A man is not worthy to be called IN
American citizen who will not stand by
his country's flag in such an hour rs
this! He is not fit subject to enjoy
the blessings Of a free government, un-
less he will give his infunce towards
sustaining it now! Every man, howey-
or humble his position, has q mission TO
perform in this great struggie-and I'M
less he performs his part well, the day
is coming, where the finger of scorn will
be pointed toward him, and his name
will bo hv word of reproach.
Stand by the Government. 'Through
evil and good report, let it not lie said
that you faltered or hung back. Stand
by the President! If he is weak, help
to strengthen him-bccause lie is part
of the Government He is the Com
mnnder- IN Chief of the armies and ma
vics of the nation, aud be he Repuhli
can or Democat-sinner or saint-it
matters not. Support him in securing for
lis, and for posteIity, national existence
and name.
Stand by the brave soldiers who are
fighting for our cause. Encourage them
by your actions, and cheer them by your
sympathy, until the last spark Of seces,
sion has died away, and the fig Of our
country once more floats triumphantIy
over every portion of the land --Hud-
son I0rH Star.

the service, while as will be seen above,
only twenty-three appear credited to her
on the muster rolls.
Should the Government abandon the
present method of determining quotas
and excuses, and assign that much in
reference to the draft to the State author
tiles, las in the present aspect of things
seems probable,) the excess Of volunteers
for Pierce county, over the number re.
turned by the Sheriff, will be credited to
the county by the Adjutant General, so
far as the same shall be found correct on
comparison with the muster rolls. This
will give the county gain Of seventy
two mon over the excess previously cred
tied in his office, making credit in all
of los men over previous quotas.
Should the Government, on the other
hand proceed to credit the towns with all
excuses shown by the lists that will be
forwarded, as compared with the muster
rolls, the county will then be ahead los
men over and above what we would have
been credited with had no lists been pre-
pared, or had the lists made up BY the
towns been sent on and rejected, as they
evidently would have been, for inaccu
racv.
Our excess will nov be good for
draft of $50, 900 men.
Mr.. GIBBS closed his report by re-
marking that the people Of the county
were under obligations to Adjutant Gen
eral GAYLORD both for the admirable
manner in which his books and files are
arranged for reference and for his cour-
tesy in furnishing facilities TO transcribe
the facts called for.
On motion of w. J, Smith the thanks
Of the meeting were rendered OLIVER

impartial manner ia which lie has dis
charged the business entrusted to him.

Judge III. ID. Barron.

We learn from various sources that
the Union men of the upper Assembly
District are anxious to nominate Judge
Barron for State Senator. The JuGge
represented that District in the last legis-
lature, and the desire on their part to
olect him Senator, is high and no doubt
deserved compliment to the ability and
fuithfulness with which he represented
his constituents in the Assembly. But it
will be remembered that that whole As
sambly District docs not poll 800 votes
not half rs MANY as either Pierce or
81. Croix counties-that an Assembly
man alone, gives it far larger repre-
sen;ation than Assemblyman and Sena-
tor both do to this District; consequent
" if Pierce should insist on her claim
to the Senator, we trust the friends Of
Judge Barron will feel tina: no injustice
is done them.

THE DRAFT.
ADJOURNED MEETING.
The quota for Pierce County, and tie
aunlJer she las sent.
ELLSWORTH. Ssnt. 10. 2ssa.


The meeting was called TO order by
PAINE CONVERSE, Esq, Chairman. The
minutes of the previous meeting were
read. The report Of Mr.. GIBBS being
called for was read. substantially as fol-
lows;
In 1862, the Sheriffs of the several
counties made out and forwarded to the
Adiutant General Of the State, what par
ported to be complete Ii SIS of all persons
liable to military duty at the commence
mcnt Of the war, noting uron the margin
such as had volunteered in the u. S. SER
wee. These lists were arranged by towns
aud were made the basis of the Adjutant
Generals estimate Of the quota of each
Town, aud statements of such quotas and
Of the number of volunteers were made
up hy that officer, brought down to the
9Th Of June last. and placed on file in his
office.
The draft for 1858, however, was to
be made by the q. S. Authorities. indie
pendent Of Safe officers and State regu-
lst;ons. and new lists were called for, to
lie made up by the people Of each town,
and when forw arded to the Provost Mar
Ill C-,r,l = 49, or,Cupoa1 thaf thav
would be compared with the muster rolls
on file 10 the office Of the Adiutant Gen
eraI at Wdshilg on, and so far as they
agreed Herewith. in reference to the vol
unteers from the towns specified, they
wouI be accepted, and credit given for
any excess over previous quotas, such ex-
cess TO apply on the present draft.
When the previous meeting for this
county was held, it was believed that the
lists then prepared, would for many rea-
sons, fail below the true number Of vol
unteers, as shown BY the muster rolls, and
,Lat ,aany discrepancies would occur,
euch as to greatly re'luce our credit, if
Rot cause the lists to b. rejected alto
gether. The same objection aso april
eli 70 ihe proposed taking Of the Sherilf's
lists. because his returns were made
up chiefly on information and belief"
the same rs in the case of tho lists made
out at the meetings in the several towns.
The original muster rolls Of the COM
ranies aud parts of companies from this
county. togeth her with recruiting registers
showing all the enlistments since the or
ganization of companies, had been pre-
served Ey Adjt. Gen. GAYLORD, at Madi'
isOu, in a convenient form for reference.
From these Mr.. GIBBs had copied the
names and residence of all volunteers
from Pierce county. He had compiled
q statement of the same, including the
number claimed in the lists made up by
the people of each town, the number re-
turned by the Sheriff, and the quotas for
rll previous calls, as fixed by the Adj't
General, which was read to the meeting,

Home Popularity.

The Union Candidate for Governor is
undoubtedly one of the most popular
men in the State. Tho respect enter
tanned Of him as a man by the citizens
of his own county, Columbia, can be
seen by the vote that he received when
q candidate for Secretary of Stale. In
the town OF his residence he received
every yote-357. In another town the
vote was unanimous for him, an | in 9th
crs, where The vote was from 90. to 100,
bis opponent only received enc vote !.
Such man rs Lewis cannot fail to be
appreciated by The people, and standing
as lie does, upon a patriotic platform,
he will distance all competituss-La

WHEATON, account of the very
protracted drouth of the present season
extending through nearly the entire
Spring and Summer, crops, and especial
ly wheat, hns been much injured. For sew
eral weeks farmers predicted an entire
failure Of the wheat crop. The harvest,
however. is turning out much better than
was anticipated. Wheat will average
from 18 to 90 bushels per acre, through
out the St. Croix Valley. LYMAN \.
POWELL, of River Falls, had field Of
60 acres of wheat, which averaged be
tween 25 and 80 per acre. What a crop
and what a country. \ season the most
unfavolabIe, ever known, when almost a
famine was predicted in July, and yet in
August wheat harvested yielding "a
bushels per acre. We have no desire to
exult over the condition of our eastern
friends who are toiling over their sterile
rocky lands to gain living, but cite such
facts as the above to, show the agricul-
tural wealth of the great West, and in
duce emigrants to come where bountlfuI
harvest will always repay their labor
and here in few years by industry
and economy, they can build up for
themselves and their children homes

A Specimen OF Fine Writing.

President Lincoln, in his letter to the
Springfield meeting, says "The Faith
CIR of Waters goes unvexed to the Sea"
A better sentence cannot be framed, and
the whole paragraph is a specimen Of
fine writing. We understand that PARK
HURST & WILSON, since reading that let
ter, have applied to the President to Sc
cure his services, if possible, to write no.
tees of their New Stock Of Fall and
Winter Goods, which are ready for dis
tribution among their numerous cash
customers. In the meantime, while
waiting for reply from the President,
they have requested us TO state, the fact,
that the best stock of goods ever opened
in this city is now on their shelves, from
which they invite all to come in and
make selections.
