to hold any other Office of profit or trust
under the government of the United
States What, then, is the process by
which southern. state can "return tc
the Union at any time ?'-INa Neeos.
Why, but they sink to the original ca.
pacity of territories = kill all but "loil
Americans of African descent" and the
course is through the back door of ne
gre cabin-Madisoae Patriot.
We long since ceased to look in the
Neaos or Patriot for anything more rea-
sonable or just, bearing upon the rebel
lion, than the extracts above quoted
Those sheets seem bent upon the destruc-
ton of the Government, and will hear to
no proposition which has for it's object the
salvation of the country. They affect to
not understand how the rebellfous. States
are to get back into the Union, and are
fearful lest some plan may be devised by
which they may do so, and not give the
Copperheads fresh excuse for bowling.
The old adage that "there are none SO
blind as those who will not see" applies
in this case with great pertinence to the
ISeeos and I cttrtot. They do not want to
see the naodus operandt Of the return of
the revolted states, and hence will not.
Now, it requires no very elaborate ar
gument to show that what we stated in
the first instance is true Take the case
of Western Virginia, for example. We are
not aware that the people of her territory
found any particular difficulty in getting
back into the Union, albeit the State of
Virginia seeded, and to all intents and
purposes was outside the Union. A por-
ton of her people were dissatisfied and
wished to get back under the Stars. and
Stripes. They said so in proper man
ner, to the proper authorities, and to-day
are enjoying the blessings that the pro-
lection of our flag gives them. "Where
there is will there is way" No seced-
ed State has, been, or will be, denied re-
turn to the Uafon, if she desires it; and
though the Meas and Patriot cannot see
exactly how it is to be brought about, the
fact exists nevertheless.

News of the Week.

Deserters from Braggs army are contin-
ually coming into our lines, notwithstand-
ing the extraordinary precautions taken to
prevent them. Only few days since,
nine men came In at one time, one of
them being commissioned efioer. Ne
latter states that full brigade of Tennes-
scans, with their General at their head,
three or fous days before attempted to de-
sert, and that division of staunch rebels
was called out to prevent them. A fight
of the most sanguinary character ensued,
in which artillery, musketry and bayonets
were used for three or four hours, resulting
in the overpowering of the disconnected
Tennesseans, after some 500 men had
been slaughtered on both Sides
Several arrests Of persons in New
York, for reasonable practices, were made
lat week Important disclosures are ex-
pected.
= It is intimated from Washington
thatsin those States which fill their quo
tas under the new 100000 CALL there will
be no draft for previous deficiencies, but
when this quota is not obtained these de-
fciencies will have to be made up together
with that under the last call
John Minor Bott, who was arrested
a few weeks ago for about the tenth time
by the rebels has been again paroled
We see it stated that all the steam
boats between Keokuk and St. Louis were
conscripted last week for Government
uses
Late advices from Chattanooga state
that by bold strategical movement, the
rebel flank has been turned, and we have
tregained possession Of Lookout Mountain
an important position. There is anoth-
-er report that the forces of Bragg aad Lee
are cooperating in movement for break
ing Burnside's lines, getting into East
tennessee, and obliging us to abandon
Chattanooga Its bold stroke, if at
tempted, but will probably fail.

papers that Admiral Dahlgreen is to be
removed and Farragut substituted for him

Proclamation to the People of the State
Of Wisconsin.

Whereas. In addition to the draft of
twenty per cent of the first class of the
enrolled national forces heretofore called
for, the President of the United States,
by his proclamation of the 18th inst, has
made call for 100000 volunteers
And, uhereas, Duty and patriotism de-
mand that the draft should be cheerfully
submitted to and the new call promptly
answered by the people of Wisconsin, as
they have always been ready to comply,
and have more than complied with all pre-
yious calls heretofore made upon them in
support of our national integrity and for
the maintenance and for the vindication
of the Union, the Constitution and the
Laws
Now THEREFORE, and in order that the
people of Wisconsin may be more fully
and definitely advised concerning the pro-
portion of men required from this State
under those two calls, the mode of distrib-
uting and filing the same, and other points
connected Herewith, I, fEDwARD SALo-
MON, Governor of the State of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby give the following inform
alton Of regulations adopted by the Gov
eminent of the United States, and of 9TH
err matters connected with said two calls,
so far as [ am advised of the same;
1st Concerning the draft noao pending:
the execution of which will commence on
the 9th day of November next;
The number of men of the first class,
enrolled in the six Congressional Districts,
including twenty towns or sub-districts
not yet reported, but estimated at 900,
will be 6S ,845, (will vary but very little
from the exact number when fully ascer-
tanned J 20 per cent of which would
make the quota of Wisconsin 1879.
Our State has furnished an excess OF
troops over all previous calls, reducing it
to the standard of three years men, of
between four and five thousand, all of
which will be credited to the State, each
Congressional District receiving credit for
the excess furnished by it; so that the
number to be furnished under this draft
by the State will be reduced to 5000 or g.,
900. 1t is not deemed practicable by the
officers of the General Government to
bring the system of giving credit for troops
heretofore furnished down to towns or
wards, but the number of men required
from Congressional District will be dis
tributed among its towns and wards in
proportion to the number Of men of the
first class enrolled in each town or ward,

THE STATE OF WISCONSIN.
PROCLAMATION.

The people of Wisconsin have much reason
10 be thankful to God for the many favors and
blessings they have enjoyed during the past
year While the celamities and dangers of war
have visited so many of our sister States, we
have been permitted to enjoy peace and pros
perity within the borders of our State; the
earth has been bountiful in its productions to
us, and our harvest plentiful; commerce, man
ufactureS, and all rs arts and vocatlons OF
peace, have hourishei with unusual prosperity.
And a1l Of this has been vouchsafed to us while
the nation has been, and is, in a fierce and
bloody contest for its life and integrity, con-
test in which the brave and noble sons of Wis
consn have shown unsurpassed endurance, he
roism and devotion to our countrys sacred
cause upon so many battle-felds; and, thus
bravely acting their part in the suppression of
the rebellion, and assisting in driving the enc
my from his strongholds, have conferred honor
and renown upon themselves and our beloved
State
Thanks to God who gave them such loyal
and stout hearts and strong arms Thanks to
Him for the success that has accompanied our
army for the past year, Bringing nearer to US
constantly permanent national peace, unity
and happiness,
Now, therefore, in compliance with time
honored custom, and conforming to recent
proclamation of the President OF the United
States, appointing day of National Thanks
giving, l, Edward Solomon, governor of Wis
consin, do hereby appoint EIhmsdqg, the 26M
dag of Novembe, $685. day of Thanksgiv-
ing and Rest, and request the people of the
State of Wisconsin that, laying aside all their
secular pursuits, they repair on that day to
their accustomed places of worship, there to of
fer their gratitude to God for the blessings and
sfavors we have been permitted to enjoy during
the past year. And in that gratitude let us not
aomit to remember that many noble and departed
heroes who have laid their lives upon the altar
of our common country, to save it from destruc
ton and ruin; nor their weeping widows, or
fphans, relatives and friends; nor those who
have sacrificed health and limbs in this giant
, national struggle; nor those who yet SO brave
ly stand round the flag of our union.
Let us remember them and those who are
dear to them. Let us comfort and assist them
in their Affections and their struggles.
In offering our thanks let them be mingled
with prayers for speedy and permanent resto-
ration of peace, unity and happiness to our dis
tracted country.

Volunteering and Drafting.

The course of many of the Democratic
presses and Democratic politicians has
been strangely inconsistent, with reference
to the raising of troops for our armies
When the Government first resorted to
Volunteering it was told by many of the
Dtmoczatio~T>oese that sse system vas al
wrong, and that the plan Of CONSUMPTION
was the only fair and judicious one
Take the following, from the New York
Erpress of July lst. 1862, as a sample of
the articles with which Democratic papers
were then filed =
" We want million of men in the field,
not 500, 900, scattered from the Indian
Territory to Maryland-but million men
to repossess, to recover forts and arse
nails, custom-houses, post Offices, railroads,
depots. If the million cannot be had by
volunteering, they ought to be had By
CONSUMPTION"
Very well. The Government tried vel
unteering until it found that enough troops
could not be raised in that way to fill the
depleted ranks, and then resort was had to
conscription. But it will be remembered
that up to the time that congress provided
for CONSUMPTION, the Express, in New
York, the Times, in Chicago, the Neacs,
in Milwaukee, and papers Of that stripe
all over the country, kept up continual
bowling in favor Of that system and
against volunteering.
No sooner, however, had. the law spok-
en- of passed congress than there was a
change in the tone of all these papers,
and to-day every one of them, and every
Copperhead Democrat, is found arrayed
against the draft, which year or so ago
they were SO much in favor of. Why is
this ? Is it not obvious that there is
something rotten in Denmark" and does
it not show plainly that the politicians and
papers spoken Of are determined to oppose
the Government, whatever its measures
may be y

imprisons your sons, drags you to the field
of battle, and is daily deluging yourcoun-
try with blood ? s---~
Your country once was happy, and'had
the profered peace been embraced, the last
two years of misery had been spent in
peace and plenty, and, repairing the desc
latioD Of the quarrel, that would have set
the interests of Great Britain and Ameri-

friendships.

What is America but a land of widows,

argument to such as feel infinitely more
misery than tongue can express? I give
my promise of most affectionate welcome
to all who are disposed to join me in meas
ures necessary to close the scenes of our
aff1iction, which must increase until we are
satisfied with the liberality of the mother
country, which still offers US protection
and exemption from all taxes but such as
