A Divided North.

The Chicago Times says: "The full sig.

is steadily forcing itself upon the country >
The wish, in this case, is father to the be-
lief Commencing with threat to keep up
a fire in the rear," the Chicago Times and
all that class Of qu~si traitor journals have
been steadily, earnestly, and persistently,
laboring to divide the North on tie question
Of the preservation ofthe Union; and because,
encouraged by the boldness OF those journals,
persons who nave always boen traitors at
heart take courage and speak out their trea
son, those ebe',sympathzing journals tlatter
themselves with the belief that the North is
divided. The North ia not divided there

is put down, echoipg and re echoing through

course. to regard Aldrich's chances for elec

were not a little surprised (,hough much
gratified) when, on show Of hands, he had

fact that tho st. Paul .Iien e. was not 4

Great Mortality in Chicago.

Chicago has population Of 5000 in
habitants. During the year 1862 there
were in that city 2,575 deaths, or equal to
about one in every forty nine This is an
awful mortality, especially in the entire ab-
sence Of any epidemic !; but i: is no more
than We expected to hear from that city,
We were there on business las: June, and
the river that flows through the very centre
of the city was u perfect bed of pestilence.
The water was as black as ink and about ~
thick its fragrance was anything but de-
lightful. Indeed We expected to hear that
the entire city was swept with the fame OF
death from such cess pool Of disease. We
congratulate the living that only one out OF
every forty nine Of their numbers has been
murdered by that pestilence breeding stream,
whereas We expected that not more than
one in that number would escape.

Advance in Cotton Goods.

Within few days cotton and woolen
goods have gone up like balloon. The
New York Herald says, "heavy standard
shee,ing is quoted at 35@37 cents, heavy
shirting at 80 cents. drills and jeans at 32kS
cents.' The causes for this are many -
First cotton goods are very scarce, the sup
ply being far less than the demand. Sec
onjly. the wonderful depreciation Of currcn.
cy-a dollar Of which is now worth only
about 62 cents. One victory at Vicksburg
would bring both gold and cotton down as
fast as it went up. That is the key to the
whole thing now. it is the tower Of strength
to the rebellion. The rebels arc making q
desperate effort to hold it, but it must fall
soon. '':3

Arm the Militia.

Arm the Militia.
Under recent law the militia Of tho State
is now organized, or ought 20 Be. and every
man Of suitable age Is now soldier, in ~
serve. Our frontier, tor distance Of three
hundred miles is threatened, by the mort
sutte, cunning, desperate and nerciless foe
that ever shed the blood Of man The Sioux
Indians are, il all accounts are true. prepar.
ing for bloody war next sum ,ner, and it
will not be waged against our armed soldiery,
hut against our defenseless women and chill
dren on the frontier. lfthey try they can
avoid the vigilance Of the soldiery and inflict
an incalcu|able amount Of injury upon the
white citizens. The constant fear to which
the frontier residents Of this State are sub-
ject on that account, is doing more to depop
u'ate our State than anything else can DO !;
and unless something is done to give ASST
surance of safety to them, the State will be
nearly ruined by the exodus of its inhabi-
tants. They want an assurance that they
shall be protected to the full; extent Of the
ability Of the Government.
Now, in addition to that protection which
= afforded by the presence Of soldiers, the
frontier citizen militia ought to be armed.
There are armes enough in the armory At
st. Paul to put rifle into the hands of every
person able 10 use it, in the frontier counties.
We hope the papers throughout the State,
in the more exposed counties,
will urge, will demand this, and we feel as
sured the Governor will grant it.
