We give very full abstract Of the an
nual message Of Gov. Solomon of Wiscon-
sin, delivered ut Madison yesterday. It
expresses the most earnest and uncondi-
tional loyalty to the Union and Constitu-
ton. Wisconsin is shown to have sent
444,o00 Of her sons to the war.
The annual message OF JEFF. Davis is a
Characteristic document, which will pass
into its own curious catalogue in history,
md he shown as men exhibit the rat
ties and fangs Of extinct serpents
We deem it Of sufficient present public
interest to make the debate in the House Of
Representatives, on Wednesday, the SUBJ
cct Of special dispatches from Washing
ton. The people cannot too soon know
hat the minions Of JEFF Davis at the
North are out in direct attack upon the
war. If for this reason we publish the
speech Of the infamous Val1andigham, we
have quite another for placing beside it
The noble defense Of Mr. Bingham, Of Ohio,
and Mr. Wright, Of Pennsylvania, as
u proof that the defenders Of the Union
are vigilant and earnest at the capital
In the House yesterday West Point came
up, got some hard hits, won most Of the
points, however, and secured its appropri-
a,ions for the year. :. ::
An important change is suggested by
The Attorney General to supply q defect in
4hc Confscation law, which removed will
bring efficient and speedy results. =;
In the report Of the part taken In the

Geo. Y. Wright, Of Van Buren, county, Presi-
dent; Peter Wclenday, Of Blackllawk county,
Vice-PreBident; Dr.. John Shat1er, Of Jeffar-

the election Of these gentlemen was for the
office Of Secretary. J. Il. Wallace, Of Musca-
tine, has for many years held this position,
but runors having reached members Of the
Society that his Unionism was not tabovo sus-
picion, he was called upon during the session
yesterday to define his position. He COM
piled, and ont Of his own mouth, evidence was
obtained which decided majority Of the
board to vote against him. The question Of
politics has never been regarded in the cleo
ton Of officers Of the Society, but this was
looked upon as case, not Of party, but Of or
diDary patriotism, such rs eyery citizen is
bound to exhibit. Mr.. Wallace's successor is
