The soldiers vote for Chief Justice of
Wisconsin, as far as received, is over
whelming in favor Of Dixon, the Union
candidate, who Is elected. The bows
gave him $3.50 votes to 958 for Cothren,
his Democratic opponen'.
The Illinois town elections have gem
orally been favorable TO the Union ticket.
In Fayette county the Unionists car.
ried eightout Of fourteen towns in Rock
Island county, eleven out Of fifteen in
Livingston, twelve gu o fsixleen in Osle,
every town; in Stephenson, as far as
heard from, every town but one, and that
named Erin in Lake, almost a clear
sweep; in Henry and Joe Daviess coun p
ties, the Democrats carried but one town
in each.

What is the reason that the Admins
tration delays the enforcement Of the
CONSUMPTION Act? The army, and 10y
al citizens everywhere hailed its passage
with delight, as a presage Of earnestness
deeper, and more firmly settled than any
thing previously displayed by the Gov
eminent. The public expect anxiously
it's immediate enforcement, as soon as the
necessary arrangements shall have been
made. The rebels are burrying up re.
cruits 10 their forces, frou all points, by
CONSUMPTION, and largely reinforcing
their armies, al a season Of the year
when the rivers are lowest, and they x
pect TO do us most damage. We have nc
doubt that by the middle of June, they
will have every available soldier in the
Confederacy in the field. There have
hints been thrown out by telegrapEic
dispatches, from Washington, that de-
serters were coming in 30 rapidly that
there might be no necessity for enforcing
the CONSUMPTION. If the Administration
be laboring under this delusion, and has
any thought Of rallying at once the war
power of the nation, ia q mass, ii will be
the browning error Of its career, whose
bitter effects will shortly be felt in a
series Of disastrous defeats. Our armies
will then be outnumbered largely at al
points, and i'll be forced 10 surrender
nearly all the important positions which
they now hold. The Administration mus
not attempt TO shun the responsibility o
the hour. Lett trust the peoplI, who will
rally to its support, not only with will
lingness, but with enthusiasm. Tn
times demand stern measures. Let tn
military power of the Republic be callet
, at once 10 the field. Every man is need
, ed at his post. We are wqging a ire
mendous war, and yet a few miles mort
of the Ohio river men are hardly cogniz
ant Of the fact that war exists. Thi
fatal slumber must be broken. The con
: scription act must be enforced. 1t j
s high time that our armies should begi
20 Outnumber the enemy. We are sick q
: seeing gallant armies of 10000 and 80,
90 men needlessly and cruelty expose,
I TO destruction by being placed at point
: where they can be overwhelmed by dou
bic or treble their numbers. We canno
forget that while GRANT was holding Tn
rebels at bay at Vicksburg, an army a
& numerous as his own might have bee
thrown up the Tennessee, and BRAGG'
force been Annihilated between two Fec
cral armies, it the ConscriptiOn Act ha
been passed and enforced at the prop,
: time. II will not do TO rely on star'
u ing out the rebels alone; The tin
/ for as TO make our greatest e~zertionS
-e tohile the rebels are pinched by d
i so,est necessities. While they are weak
est, we ought to be most active, aud del
i our heaviest blows. IL would be supel
e lative folly TO wait until the lapse of ar
other season has r~eplenished their barr
/ and smoke houses. Now, noV, is OF
golden opportunity to strike. Delay wi
a prolong the war another twelve month
!, and cost us an enormous price in treasui
and blood. Let the CONSUMPTION act |
d enforced with all speed.

It seems that General Burnside is de-
termined 10 silence rebel - mpathizers
ia Kentucky. The Louisville journal
speaking of certain arrests says that
"rhat the day for secession iubilees and
the expression Of disloyal sentiments
has VANISHED like a beautiful dream
The military authorities have set their
foot down." and no demonstrations
whatever Of a disloyal nature will go un.
punished. They have reveled in teas,
on, comparatively, unreslrained Gu ing
the war, but the time has Enthusiastically
arrived that will hcnceforth seal the lips
of treason in the midst OF us, and it would
have been well tor the Government had
these steps been taken earlier.
Kentucky hitherto has been a sort Of
neutral territory, in which a rebel could
talk and act pretty much as he pleased
without being in danger Of any punish
ment more severe than a parole. We
have heard a great many ine promises
but very little performances in that
quarter in checking rebel iRsolence. II
tlsmilitary authorities do not do thsi,
work know it never will be done.
