1.-The Mineral Point MteUigencer
contains an account of disturbance
which occurred in that city last week,
between the soldiers and citizens.
1t says as far as can be ascertained the
difficulty originated on this wise MIR.
Josiah Lanyon while engaged in max
ing some repairs on the Wisconsin House
placed piece of scantling ON the side
walk, which was kicked off into the
mud by some passing soldiers. Hard
words followed and these led to hard
knocks. Both sides being reinforced
the matter began to look rather serious,
and rocks were flying in every direc-
ton, but principally aimed at the large
show windows of canyons store, which
were pretty thoroughly demolished, and
there were also a few sore heads occa-
stoned by coming in contact with rocks
and other missiles. BY this time, a
large crowd of citizens and soldiers
the latter with their guns-had arrived
at the scene of action, and were it not
for the prompt action, and the efficient
aid rendered by those called upon to
restore order, matters would have been
worse.
Happily however the affair was
brought to close before much damage
was done. A number of the soldiers
were arrested. But three we're com.
planned against; two plead guilty and
were fined, the other was acquitted.
The Intelligencer says that both par
ties were to blame, and it is much re-
GREETED that such unpleasant occurren.
ces should occur. The citizens wish
the soldiers a pleasant time and much
enjoyment while they are home, and ii
is but right that they should respect the
citizens and not destroy their prenarty

J BI On account of not receiving our
paper in time, to-day's issue is few
hours behind time, which will throw
some of our subscribers who live on
the border towns Of the county, few
days behind in receiving their usually
punctual visitor. We call that pretty
good excuse, and take very little blame
to ourselves, though We know that a
good excuse is worse than not the need
of an excuse.

Pixies PEAK, IDAHO &c.-Since
Monday, three or four more of our
citizens have gone out of our village,
bound for the gold bearing fields of the
up Idaho or adjacent territories, carry
ing with them their household goods
and families.
During the past week there have also
passed through our village, two trains
of three or four wagons each, bound for
the same land of gold.

The Supper.


given in the basement hall of the NJ
E. Church by our friend, CAPT. Will
SON, of the 18th Wis. Infy, to the "Sol-
diers Aid Society of this village, and
were much pleased at the generosity of
the giver, as exemplifed by the profuse
provision of articles "good tn take,
under which the tables groaned, and
the satisfaction and real enjoyment
which beamed from the sparkling eyes
and lovely features of the fair recipi-
ents, and their friends, for whom this
repast had been provided.
This pleasant party was made the oc-
casion for the return Of the well worn
banner, formerly presented to CAPTAIN
Wilson'S company by the ladies of
Dodgeville, and which has been carried
by them through the first term Of their
service, and has faunted over their
camp in Dixie many time, in short
but expressive speech by the brave
Captain, and which was received by
MRS. C. A. WHEELER on behalf of the
Soldiers Aid Society in graceful and
patriotic rejoinder.
Captain WILSON'S company is entitl-
ed to and were expecting banner from
its Colonel, for being the most patri-
otto company in the regiment, all of
its members but four having re-enlisted,
to remain as our worthy President once
said, "pegging away" at the "gray-
backs
Till the last armed foe expires"
and it was hoped that it would have ar
rived in season to have been presented
to the brave boys at this suspicious
time, but as it has not reported at head
quarters yet, this pleasure had to be
foregone.
The hall was filled completely with
bright uniforms and gay dresses, which
mingling socially together, engaged in
rapid transit in the various preparations
and operations connected with the oc-
casion, OF in gay and lively converse
ton to the sound of inspiriting music,
their roguish glances, mischevious smiles
and coquettish hints, caused by and ac-
companying the circulation of certain
sa0eet little missives, and attended with
we know not what amount of signs,
VOWS, proposals and kisses,-the sugary
kind Of course-kept those present in
the best of humor and at the height of
enjoyment until a late hour.
The amount and style of the splen-
did confectionery and eatables, and the
absence of the Juveniles, usually found
at such times and scenes, and who arc
invariably, and must be unaocountably
all the time in somebody's way, and
who have, in times past, wrought much
confusion and damage to the temper,
peace, and we'll being of older folks at
parties in our village, was very crafty
ing-yea, in the full sense of the word.
Excepting a few instances of up-
dressing which caused some remarks,
we are inclined to believe that this sup
per has been one of the most pleasant
occasions we have ever been privileged
to attend in Dodgeville.
The soldiers afterwards procured
room at the Court House, and "tripped
the light fantastic to" to some purpose,
until morning, but as it formed no part
of the evenings entertainment as orig
inally arranged, we did not accompany
them and consequently know nothing
of the character of their performances.

The ENROLMENT ACT.-As the 10th
day of March is approaching, when the SC
much dreaded draft is to take place. for
the purpose of raising men for the Federal
armies, it may not be out of place to pub
lish the following provisions Of the Enroll
ment Act for the benefit of cur readers:
Persons enrolled may furnish at any
time previous to the draft an acceptable
substitute who is not liable. and such per
sons thus furnishing a substitute shall be
exempt from the draft not exceeding the
time for which such substitutes shall have
been accepted. Any person drafted may
before the time fixed for his appearance
for duty at the rendezvous, furnish an ac-
ceptable substitute.
IF any drafted person shall hereafter
pay money for the procuration of a substi-
tute, such payment shall operate only to r,
lievc the person from the draft on that
call. and his name shall be retained on the
roll in filling future quotas. Butm no in
Stdace shall the exemption ofany person ON
account Of his payment Of communication

cxtend dcyon1 one year; but ut the end Of
one year in every such ease the name of
any person so exempted shall be enrolled
again, if not before returned to the enroll
ment list under the provision OF this see
tioa.
The following persons are exempted
from enrolment and draft. viz: Such a.
are rejected as physically or mentally unit
for service; all persons actually in the mil
itary or naval service Of the United State.
at the time of the draft; and all person,
who have served in the military or nava.
service two years during the war. and been
honorably discharged. No pelsons bur
such as herein exempted shall be exempt.
mo person of foreign birth shall on ac
count Of alicnage be exempted from en-
rollment or draft, who has at any time as
sumed the right OF a citizen, by voting al
any election held under the authority o.
the laws of any State or Territory, or Of
the United States, or who had held any
office under such laws. or any of them; bu
the fact that such person of foreign brit
has voted or held, or shall vote or hold of
fee, shall be taken ~ conclusive evidenc,
that he is not entitled to exemption from
m%ilitary service on account of a~lienage.'

The Provost Marshal General, with that
admirable simplicity which has character
lied nearly all his acts hitherto, very naive
ley informs the people through a member
of Congress that another draft will be or
dered as soon as the present call is filed
1t must be very encouraging indeed to the
people to know that with the present army
in the field, strengthened by an additional
half million. the state of the rebellion is
such as to require still another call for
troops. We confess we don't understand
it, unless the capabilities of the rebels to
carry on tie war have been hugely mis-
represented, or Seward has been again
prophecying a close of the war in 80 days.
or the President has been on another visit
to the army of the Potomac. These visits
and prophecies have always heretofore
been followed by hard fighting, and we be-
lieve invariably by defeat, is there to be
a repetition of these cnactments on the
opening of the spring campaign? We
hope net.
