DETAILS o : THE FIGHT.
New York g


Adyices from Port Hudson, via New
Orleans, says the contest on the 9th was
a very bloody one, the rebels fighting
with most recklss courage, and our men
being not whit behind in daring and
pluck.
Our informant corroborates the good
accounts heretofore given Of the conduct
Of the c0lored soldiers. These sable
warriors provoked most frenzied hatred
on the other side, and the rebels bent al
their energy to their annihiation and
since the fight they hare missed no
chance 10 kill negro pickets. In one
instance the pounced upon single black
sentry. captured aud forthwith hung him.
This bloody instruction was quickly I'M
proved, for almost within m hour some
negroes got hold Of rebel picket and
swung him up in full sight of their muir
dsred companion.
The stories about Kirby Smith coming
to the relief of Port Hudson, is probably
erroneous. Smith is no doubt in Texas
somewhere. or possibly in western Louisi-
ana certainly nowhere near Port Hudson,
nor could lie get across if he were oppo-
site.
Col. Crierson is slashing around and
was at lat accounts up between Port Hud-
son AMI Vicksburg, tearing up railroads,
destroying bridges, hunting for confcder-
ate stores and carvassing the State gen.
orally.
Iii is understood that Joe Johnston was
at jackson on the 9th, but he has no
force worth bringing against Grant
We regret to learn that Gen. Sherman
wounded at Port Hudson, is hardly expec-
ted to live.
The weather is terribly hot and tho
place very dry and dusty.

e. We often hear men talking OF
the danger Of power being centralized in
the Government. The danger lies IN its
diffusion. This rebellion rests all the
logical justification it has on the rights Of
tie States. Government must he strong
or it is good for nothing. We have but
one Goyernment--that of the United
States, and the States have jurisdiction of
matters too minute for it, just rs coun-
ties have jurisdiction within States, towns
within counties. and school districts with
in towns. State pride is proper, and SO
is local pride of our several counties and
towns, but when it is carried to the ex
cess Of disputing the sceptre of power
with the Government. it is both absurd
and dangerous.
Suppose you were in q foreign land,
and asked from where you came B.
From Wisconsin, or Ohio, yon answer.
You are not known. You reply that
you are a citizen Of the United States
You are respected and safe. Whatever
Of value there is in citizenship; all the
blessings it bestows and honors it con
fers, are heritage from the United
States. /" The Union Forever y Let
it be upheld against al its foes.

CORRESPONDENCE.
PREsCoTT, JunelO, lS6;


townsman, Mr.. DUNBAR, i have recently
paid visit to the beautiful and thriving
village Of Durand on the Chippewa riv-
err. The object Of our visit was to attend
Rail Road Meeting, called by the Com
missioners named in a Bill passed at the
last session of our Legislature, entitled,
An Act TO incorporate the Tomah t st
Croix Rail Road Company" This bill
transfers the Land Grant from the old
La Crosse company to the new company.
At Reeds Landing we were joined by
a delegation from Hudson, made up
of her best men, amorg whom were
Judge WETHERBY, Hon. john CON-
STOCK, MARK FULToN, HORACE TAY-
LoR, and Hon. II. L. HUMPHREY. Such
delegation showed plainly that Hud-
son is keenly alive to all hail Road move
ments in Northwestern Wisconsin. At
Reed. landing we eli Larked on the lit
tie steamer Monitor, miniature little
thing, yet plucky withal. She was well
handled, and soon skinned the distance
to Durand.
I was agreeably surprised at the ap-
pearance of tho country bordering the
river as well as of the river itself.
| had associated with the name of
Chippewa River the idea of sand bars
and sand hills, and from my limited
knowledge Of the river had supposed it
to be cut into innumeraJ,e sloughs and
bayous by thousand ani one sand bars
and willow-clad Islands. To the
contrary, however, for twenty five miles
the stream is clean and beautiful, with
30 distractions, in an ordinary stage Of
water, 10 easy navigation Of boats of loo
tons capacity. The country adjoining is
mostly beautiful oak openings, with var-
alton in surface, just enough to relieve
The monotony often attending the sur
round:ncs Of our Western rivers.
Arriving at Durand, We were met by
delegations from the different counties,
and at a glance it could be seen that men
of strong and comprehensive intellects
had been called together. Among the
number we've Judge Price, of jackson
Co, Capt. Welson and Mr.. Carson, Of
Dunn Co, Hon. NJ. D. Bartlett and Mr..
PrinsIe, Of Pepin, Messis. Wilson, vii
liams and Thorpe, of Eau Claire, II. S.
Allen ana Gregg, Of Chirpe va, c. B
Cox, of Pierce Co.
The board Of incorporators was or
ganized by electing Judge Price as Pres
ident, c. B. Cox Vice President, Mr..
Gregg as Secretary, and Capt. Wilson as
Treasurer.
Resolutions and by laws were passed,
specifying the manner IN which stock
might be taken, fixing the amount which
any one person or corporation might
take, appointing the stock agents, etc.
By the provisions of the bill it is nee
essary, before the company can become
fully organized and directors chosen, that
there shall be s25O,OOO Of the capital
stock subscribed, and ten per cent. of tho
amount paid in.
1t is extremely necessary that the cti-
Gems of Prescott be alive to the need,
when called upon, of subscribing liberal
" to this initiatory stock; failing 10 do
this we should be deprived of Director
in the organization.
1t seems to ma that there should be a
meeting called at once to canvass this
matter, that we may be able to start up
on the course upon an equal footing with
neighboring localities.
Yours truly,

being knocked down for it. She can
take n snooze after d nner when her hus,

at home in time of war, and get married
again if her husband is killed. She
can wear corsets if too thick, and-o' her

THE DRAFT.-We are informed off
ciany, that the forthcoming draft will be
made by towns. County organizations
will not be taken into account. Each
town will receive credit for all the men
furnished and drawn on for the balance.
This is just, all communities and classes
should be treated alike, each neighbor-
hood furnishing its exact quota. In this
county several of the towns are behind
from one up to ten. We intend to pub
lish the exact quota of the several towns
in this county, and the number already
furnished, soon.
