PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Wisconsin State Journal.

The WISCONSIN STATE Journal
is the Oldest and best established paper
at the Cal itol of the State. In Politics,
it is firmly and unswerverinly attached to
those principles of freedom and justice
ayowed and cherished by the f'amers OF
the Constitution, and adopted as the fun
lameptal doctrines Of the Republican
party. To these it will be true, regard
less of the changes and permut"tions OF
parties. An examination of its files viii
show the following facts:
II publishes more matter Of special az
terest to Wisconsin, readers than any
other piper.
1t has the largest and ables! corps of
army correspondents Of any paper in the
State.
1t gives n more complete account ofthe
movements and experiences Of Wiscon
ain regiments than any other paper.
1t is the only paper thot prints jul q
reiiabie lists Of the casualties By bat""
deaths by disesse and SICK an hoSp'taIe
of the Wisconsin, volunteers.
1t has fuller and more reliable Legis
lathe reports than any other paper.
1t publishes officially both the United
States and State lars, and all procama-
ton and notices from the Gov. and other
State officers, including the Bank Comp
troilIcr's monthly and semiannnal reports.
In these respects, the STATE JOURNAL
is superior to any other Wisconsin news
paper, whiIe It is not behind any in regard
to Geographic and general news.

Great Naval Expedi,ion.

Matters at the Brooklyn Navy-yard have,
since Saturday evening, presented an unusual
scene of excitement, occasioned by the receipt of
a telegraphic despatch from the Navy Depart
ment at Washington, TO fit out Immediately all
vessels'i in condition TO proceed to sea-
The Seminole and Adela were lying down
the bay, and were ordered off Immediately, a
tug-boat having been despatched by Commo-
dore Radford upon the arrival of the news
Yesterday the Dai Ching Virginia and Tusca-
rora were despatched and the Kittanning sails
to-day.
The Department has ordered the chartering
of some four or five of the smartcst steamships
in this port, and will place officers, crew and an
armament on board, and send them away. The
frigate Sabine, school-ship Marion, and yacht
America sail tomorrow. Thus, a large fleet
being five steamers already gone and some three
or four sailing vessels, has already gone, and
when the chartered vessels are ready, it will
make large squadron.-N Y, Commercial, l5b.

proposTlIon 10 Hana INC Dutcn soldiers.


OF late, in all battles and in all recent incur
sions made by Federal cavalry,we have found
the great mass of Northern soldiers to consist Of
Dutchmen. The plundering thieves captured
by Forrest who stole halfthe iewelry and watch
es in n dozen counties Of Alabama, were inmac-
ulate Dutchmen. The national odor Of Dutch
men, as distinctive Of the race, rs that which
constantly ascending to heaven, has distended
the nostrils of the negro, is as unmstakahle as

REBEL RAIDS I'M INDIANA.

Cincinnati, June 20.-Yesterday about one
hundred of the 4th Kentucky rebel cavalry
crossed the Ohio River, in Garrison county, In
diana, for the purpose of making a raid into the
interior at Orleans.
The rebels mad skrmlsh with the Home
Guards, whom they ropulsed, and the rebels
were moving towards the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad at last accounts The militia with the
convalescents from the hospitals at New Albany
and DInville have started in pursuit of the re-
bells.
indianapolis June 21.-Fifty of the guer-
rillas who crossed into Indiana from Kentucky
on Friday night last, were captured yesterday
morning on the second Island above Leayen-
worth, near the mouth of Blue river Crawford
county, by a company of citizens under the com
mand of Lieut. Col. Woodbury. of the 8Ist In
diana, and Adjutant Simpson of the 50th. All
of their horses, arms and considerable quanti-
ty of stolen property were taken with them.-
The balance of the party went in different dir
ection but are being closely followed. They
killed the Sheriff of Crawford county. The
Governor has ordered them to be confined in
the Jeffersonvlle penitentiary, and will hold
them amendable to the laws of Indiana for mur-
der, until it is shown that they are regularly
mustered into the rebel service as soldiers.

A Somerset despatch of the 21st says nothing
of Importance had transpired there since the af
fair of the 9th, and adds:
From private despatch | learn that S. A.
Gilbert's front detachments of the 4ith Ohio and
9th Ohio cavalry attacked the enemy's pickets
twelve miles north of Big Creek Gap, and drove
them in, capturing several and wounding one,
driving them six miles further. They came up
on SCOTS cavalry in position, and with a l2-
pound howitzer attacked and routed them, cap
turing one prisoner and nine horses. The
ground was strewed with guns clothing and
camp equipage. Our men followed 10 the for

killing a Fugitive Rebel.

A despatch from Keokuk, Iowa, of the Ist,
says party consisting of two men, sent from
that place to Tioga, by the Provost Marshal
General, to arrest the notorious DR.. Grass, Mis-
rouri renegade, who had been in the rebel SER
vice one year. and who lately has been recruit
ing for the rebel service in the southern part of
Hancock county, Illinois, have returned. The
first party failed to get him. The second went
in disguise, and, as Southern sympathizers, were
for three days received into the confidence of
Grass party. They succeeded in finding Grass
but he escaped them. They, however followed
him, and, after few hours search, found him
mounted and armed. They called on him TO
surrender. He replied by firing his gun at one
of the party, the ball passing through the crown
of his hat They again called to him to surren-
trwhen heput spurs to his Eorsc and tried to e.
cape. Three shots were fired at him, which
failed to bring him to. After chasing him three
fourths of mile, he was killed by the fourth
shot

WHY aud Wherefnre.

1t is probable the majority of those who will
be asked to vote for Vallandigham, and even OF
those who will actually vote for him, will not
understand the meaning of their leaders in put
ting him forward. The honest and patriotic
portion Of the Democratic party are surprised
at this nomination. Some repudiate it altogeth-
er, and many more are displeased with it, and
wish that the semblance of patriotism at least
had been maintained by the nomination of fsome
man who does not stand in open opposition to
the efforts of the Government to put down re-
bellion.
But the managers understand their game, and
it is this: If they can elect Vallandigham the
State Of Ohio wiU no longer support Tie Gopeym-
me'@ Of Tie United States. 70 ,ciZ to all intcnts
and purposes secede,-at least so far as the Gov
ernor can effect that end.
This is what the Democratic leaders intend
When they have placed Ohio in this attitude OF
hostility to the Union and the Federal Govern
ment the next step will be, with the aid of the
other States-if such aid can be obtained-to
form new league between the Democratic par
ty of the North, and the Shareholders, by which
they hope to perpetuate their power To this
end they are ready to grant all the slavehold-
ers ask; to give them not only half the terrific
ries but all of them; to give them absolute Sc
curity that they shall control the action of the
Federal government, and that no man shall hold
the lowest federal office, who is not thorough
tool of slavery. Let it then be understood that
the end at which the Democratic leaders aim is
TO rOesta6'iSh their league cih slavery and thereby
secure again that power, the loss of which has
turned them all to traitors.
There are several difficulties in the way Of
accomplishing this scheme. First the people
of Ohio will trample it under foot. Secondly,
If all the North should prove as treacherous and
mean as these Democratic leaders, and shall 90
whining and begging to the slave lords, they
will be kicked, cursed, spit on and rejected;-t
which let all the people say Amen

.Known and Read OF All MEN,,

The great contest which is now going on is
revealing the true character of men. Scarcely
will the final day make the revelation more
complete. 1t seems to be the allotment of the
powers above that men should have an oppor-
tunity to show what is in them The opportu-
nifty has come for US as nation, and the revela-
tion is rapidly progressing The men who love
liberty for themselves and others,-who love
justice and truth, ready to make sac
rihces for their faith,--who will suffer the loss
of all things rather than deny the gospel of Ii
berty,-are now gathering out of all parties and
creeds to the side of the Union On the other
side, will be found all those who care for no
liberty but their own,-who can't believe they
are white men unless they trample on a "nigger,"
whose patriotism cannot stem five cent
stamp,-who wont fight themselves or let a
"nigger" fight for them,-who are ready to over
throw the Government if they cannot control it.
These men, if they were at the South, would be
IN arms against the Union. Here they do what
they can, viz; vote against it,

who is Responslble1

Any man of common sense must acknowledge
that such demagogues as Sam Medary, little
Sammy Cox, Vallandigham, George E. Pugb
Pendleton, Leadbetter d Co., are guilty for in
stigating all the mobs that have dsgraced the
State of Ohio, such as those in Holmes, Noble
and Morrow counties. All the speeches and
printed articles emanating from the corrupt
brains of these men, urge resistance to the con-
scription and other laws of the United States.
They are responsible for all the blood she'd in
Ohio, yet they sneak out of all the difficulty and
leave their dupes to their own fate. These
poor, deluded men must suffer for the acts OF
demagogues who are afraid to lead the men in
battle, after having incited them to commit the
acts for which the victims must suffer the ut
most rigor of violated law. Mark these demn-
gogues %. s. Joufna3

FROm POET HUDSON.

A New Orleans correspondent per steamer
Locust Point state that our siege batteries have
been opened on Port Hudson, and a continuous
rain of shot and shell is being poured into the
enemys works. Several buildings, supposed
to contain commissary stores, We're destroyed,
and the rebels are known TO be suffering in kill
ed and wounded. An expedition had driven
away the rebel force collected at Clinton. De-
serters are coming into our lines and report the
rebel strength at least 10000 well clothed, but
suffering for food. Twenty five or thirty of our
men are daily added to the killed and wounded
by the enemy's sharpshooters
Dispatches from General Banks have been
received by the War Department to the effect
that on the 18th inst, having established his
batteries within three hundred and fifty yards
of the rebel works at Port Hudson, after a Wig
orous cannonade, he summoned General Gard
ner to surrender. On his refusal an assault was
made, and our forces gained positions within
fifty to one hundred yards of the enemy's works,
which they held. General Payne was severely
wounded.
Gen. Banks expressed himself confident of
success.

The Proposer of VaIIandIgbam.

The Geo. James who proposed the name of
Vallandigham in the late Democratic State Con-
ventioD, halls from Muskingum county. The
GAINESVILLE Courier says this man James declared,
in the hearing of the editor of that paper, year
and half ago, that this Union never would be
restored, and that he (James) believed the States
had better right to secede from the Union than
the Government has to put down the rebellion.
This is the political status of the man who pro-
posed the traitor Vallandigham as candidate
for Governor of Ohio. Truly, fitting tool for
the CoPperhead party.
