An Extenhive JewoIry Establishrnsnf'
g Milwaukee can justly boast OF some OF inc lsrg>
est Wholesale and retail establishments III the
northwest. No sooner than we get one OF these
acquisitions built up than it is importuneo 10 go
to Chicago. We have au iron and hardware ss-
tablishmsnt that is not equalled west ofNeW 1ofki
Chicago has nothing like it. A few days ago one
of our most enterprising dry goods housed was Of
fered many thousand dollars 10 60 TO the latter
city with its business.
One of the finest establishments that has been
built up in Milwaukee, is that OF Messrs MATsoN
& LOOMS. In extent, variety, amount and beau
ty of stock in trade, it is more than 81 per cent.
ahead of any house in Chicago. Mr.. WATSON is a
gentleman of abundant capital and 10 deterlnln>
ed to keep a stock Of goods that shall be an at
traction to the people all over Wisconsin to trade
in Milwaukee. II takes some pluck and public
spirit to put ones means into such an estaeIl 2 n
ment SO that it can truly be SAID 10 surpass many
stores in Broadway. In diamonds, watches and
silver goods this house has more than double any
house IN Chicago. And in the infinite variety and
beauty of the usual holiday goods, they are fully
up to anything In the country. While this house
never looks lean, it is now crowded 1uIl or the
richest and choicest goods OF the season. WATSON
q LOOMS at great expense, keet the true time
for the public benefit, which is amply certified by
Prot. Lapham, from actual observation by their
transit Instruments, which is the only one in the
State of Wisconsin. Nothing else can give the
true time OF a given latitude. MtLwdukee VAS

EOunties to VOIunteers.-By references to
the Ordinance published in to-day's paper, 1t will
bs seen that q special election is called, on Tues
day next, the 29lh day of December inst, to vote
on the question of raising the sum of 5000 as a
bounty fund to pay 5000 bounty to each volunteer
to the number of forty to fill the quota OF this city
under the late call for 300 600 men.
We persume that this tax will be voted without
opposition. Theirs is general desire to save our
city from the operation of the Draft, and this is
the only way in which it can be done.
With a bounty of $500 to 5000 and the increas-
cd pay that ia now certain to be voted by Cons
gress, and with the prospect that the war will not
last another year, no man without capital, can go
into a more profitable enterprise. In a number of
the cities of the Stats, they have filed up their
quotas in u few days by Offering the same bounty,
The city Council of Beloit voted to raise a boun-
ty of 5000 to volunteers, and the Journal thus
gives the result;
OUR QUOTA FULL,-0ur citizens will learn with
pleasure, that cur quota of 81 men is full-was filled
up last Thursday night just four days after the
bounty was voted. The result far exceeded the
expectations of the most sanguine, and has brought
on the croakers who have declared all
attempts to escape the draft useless.
Other towns and cities, protting by our exam
pie are discussing the propriety of offering or have
cd bounties, and we hope to be able to an
nouncs the filling of the whole quota of Rock |
county, before New Years. One hundred men
could be enlisted in this city, if the bounty could
be secured, and scores are waiting for the action
Of other towns. |
The City of La Crosse raiasd its quota on :
bounty Of $IGO to each volunteer. The City Of
Beaver Dam has voted a bounty of 5000. Bara,
300 has voted a like Gum to her volunteers -
and several of the towns of Rock
county have or are going to vote the same boun-
les. With these examples before US. and the res
ult ofsuch liberal policy, the people of Kenosha
will not fail to give the propositions full aft
tive vote.
The time ia short now and what is done must
10 dono quickly. The people should turn out en-
nasss and vote for the bounty. and the quota of
he city will then be soon be filled. Let our regis
neuts in the field, be filled TO the maximum, in the
lext two months, and in three months from that
inc, the rebellion may be squelched. We all
want the war brought to q close and the quickest
md CHEAPEST way to do that is to put such force
nto The field as shall make it hopeless for The reb.
lis to contend against it. The mos certain as
veil as the most expeditions way of raising that
orce, is by holding out such liberal inducements
Is will insure the requisite member of volunteers.
