4 Bad Penny Returned.

Among the notable events of the past
week, is the surreptious return to Ohio, OF
the traitor Vallandigham. lie boasts that
he returns to the United States on his own
responsibility and defes the Federal Govern
ment to intefere with him. and at the same
time calls upon the democracy to defend him
from the tyrannical & blood-thirsty Lincoln.
lie says he comes back, because he does
mot mean any longer to be, the only man of
the party, democracy who is to be vic
tim to arbitrary power
One would naturally suppose to read the
copperhead press, or listen to copperhead
speeches, that the victims to arbitrary pow
err We're as thick las Heas or to make
more poetical comparison as thick as ''leaves
i'll Fallambrosa." But here is the convicted
traitor who claims to be the only victim to
arbitrary power.
The democracy are not anxious to take
Fallandigham upon their shoulders in the
present campaign. They have had some
experience in that line, and they know that
whatever they might accomplish without
such dead weight to carry, they can hope
to do nothing and carry him in the
bargain. Many prominent democratic pa
pers have taken occasion to disclaim all
sympathy or political union with him, and
disclaim particularly any participation in
his reasonable principles and views.
The Michigan argus published at Ann
Arbor, one Of the oldest and most inhuen-
tial papers in the State thus gives the cold
shoulder to the Buckeye traitor martyr;

H'W ESTERN w DOL .-DoDL TALL TO read
the article under this head, on our fourth
page, which we copy from the Boston Com
mercjaJ Bulletin. 1t contains some unpleas-
ant facts that our wool growers should pom
der and make basis for reform Thewriter
rather defends the honesty of the Wisconsin
wool grower, though at the expense of his
cleanliness. We don't know as he has i'm
proved the matter. 1t is true that great.
pains have been taken for several years past
in this county, (and the same is true of the
state at large to improve the stock of our
sheep. and now we do not believe that any
community can show better flocks, as a gen
eral thing than our own. The wool is most
ly of superior grade, and it CERTAINLY ought
to be brought to market in shape to bring
the first price. There is one thing about it.
AS long as our wool growers depend upon
eastern manufacturers for the sale of their
wool, they will never get its actual value.
When we have Wooden Factories of our own
to compete with the eastern manufacturers
in the consumtion Of wool our farmers will
realize the true value of their wool. We ought
to have a Factory in Kenosha that would
consume all the wool produced within thir-
tv miles. Then we should be independent Of
the eastern manufactures, and the wool
speculator and buyer, and could snap oui
fingers at his criticisms.

WAR DEPARTMENT.
WAsHINGToN,.Ju June Is, 1864-1Op. m.
General Dix:
The following dispatch from Gen. Grant,
dated yesterday, IL a. M, at City Point,
has been received by this department;
The 9th Corps this morning carried two
more redoubts forming part of the defenses
Of Petersburge, capturing 400 prisoners and
four guns.
Our successes are being followed up Our
forces drew out from within fifty yards of
the enemys entertainments at Cold Harbor,
made a flank movement of about fifty-fve
miles march, crossing the Chickahominy
and James Rivers, the lat ter 2, 600 feet wide
and 81 feet deep at the point of crossing,
and surprised the enemys rear at peters
burg, This was done without the loss Of a
wagon or piece of artillery, and only about
$50 stragglers were picked up by the enemy
In covering this move, Warren's corps and
Wilson's cavalry had frequent skirlnishing
with the enemy each losing from fifty to
sixty killed and wounded, but inficting an
equal, if not greater, loss upon the enemy.
| The 18th corps (Smith's) were transferred
from the White House to Bermuda Hundred
by water, and moved out heret Petersburg
The night Of their arrival they surprised, or
rather captured the very strong works
northeast of Petersburg before sufficient
force could be got in by the enemy to pre-
vent them He was joined the night after
this capture by the I'd corps, which in turn
captured more of the enemy.s redoubts fur
ther south, and this corps was followed by
the 9th, with the results above stated.
All the corps are now up except seven di-
visions, covering the wagon trains, and they
will be up tonight.
The enemy, in their endeavors to rein
force Petersburg, abandoned their entrench-
ments in front of Bermuda Hundred. They
no doubt expected troops from North of
James River to take their place before we
discovered it. Gen. Butler took advantage
of this, and moved force at once upon the
railroad and plank road between Richmond
and Petersburg, which Ihope to retain pos
session of.
Too much praise cannot be given the
troops and their commanders for the energy
and fortitude displayed in the last five days.
Day and night have been all the same, no
delays being allowed OH any account.
ER-Unofficial dispatches show that
at s o'clock this morning the enemy still &C.
cupied Petersburg.
Major Morton was killed in an assault
yesterday.
Nothing today from Sherman or Hunter.

Cone, Of Michigan, writes to the Rural Men
Yorker as follows:
In June, twenty nine years ago, having
need OF pair of bar posts, had cut tree
Tor that purpose. cut white oak about
two feet through at the butt, and split out
pair. The bark peeled off easily. l set
them with the butt end in the groun nd
Now that pair of posts have outIasted
about three sets in other parts of my farm,
and the rails split at that time are mu ch
better than many that were split many years
after.
Now, bass wood rails, split in the sum-
mer when they will peel easily, will outlast

The Public Debt---A Statement from Secretaty
Chase.
New YORK, June 90, 1864.

NEW l DIRK, June ~, 1864.
The Assistant Treasurer this p. III. received
from the Secretary of the Treasury the fol-
lowing important statement of the position
of the public debt and its circulation:
The amount of debt, including all legal
tender notes and unpaid rcquisitions is
$1,719, 395, $685.
Amount of interest bearing legal tender
notes withdrawn, $685. $50, 10000,
Amount of ordinary legal tender notes
withdrawn and placed in reserve, ST., 258, :
872.00, showing a reduction at present of
legal tender notes of all descriptions of
500, 149, $500.
This statement shows the actual present
state of the public debt and circulation Of
course it will be necessary to replace por-
ton Of the five per cent legal tenders with
compound interest six per cents.
[Signedl S. P CHASE.
Mr.. Cisco states the continuance of per-
IsonaI assurances from the Secretary of the
Treasury that 1t is not the purpose of Mr.
Chase to issue an amount of the compound
interest six per cents, equivalently to the
amount of legal tenders thus retired, but
to contract the circulation as much as pos
sible, and to regulate the future issues of
currency by the strictest necessity There
are the highest official assurances that these
are Mr.Chase's future intentions.

The GERMAN RADIOALs,-W e are not a
ware who the German Radicals of Milwau-
kce are, Or how numerous they are, or what
their political antecedents are, bnt we are
very certain they cannot be numerous, if
they have hitherto voted with the Republi-
can party. for the entire German Republican
vote of that intensely copperhead city can
not be very large. But however that may be
the German Radicals of that city it S seems
have held meeting and passed some resolu-
tons which we find published in the Mil
waukee Nowy endorsing the Cleveland plat
form and pledging themselves to support its
candidates.
The following are the resolutions entire.
RsSoLced, The German radicals of Milwau-
kee approve of The platform adopted by the
national convention at Cleveland on the 31st
of May last and pledge themselves to sup
port the candidatis for president and vice
president, nominated i'll accordance with
said platform.
ReSoIued, To publish these resolutions.
p. ENGELMANN, President,
VIM. FRANKNURTH, Sec'y.
This is the only demonstration that has
thus far been made in the State in
favor Of the nominees Of the Cleve-
land Convention As we have said above,
we don't know how numerous the German
Radicals Of Milwaukee are, or whether their
meeting consisted of more than the two radi-
calls whose names are attached to the reso-
lutions, but we caution the Pathfinder and
his friends not to build any very sanguine
hopes of carrying the State on this demon
stratjon, or they will be disappointed.
In connection with the above resolutions
the Meas says.
We are informed that Fremont and Coch-
rane state committee will soon be appoin-
ted and an electoral ticket placed i'll nomin-
alton
We should like to have the News inform
US by whom this ''Fremont and Cochrane
State committee''wiIl pc appointed; and who
will place san electoral ticket in nominal
ii on? We venture to say if such thing is
done, it will be done in the Office of the Meas,
or at least the editor of that sheet will be
mainly instrumental in having it done. We
shall see.

PIGEoNs-Some idea of the pigeons to
be found i'll this section may be had from
the fact that one man, twelve miles south of
Lacrosse, has with net this season taken
over thirty thousand. all of which have been
sold in this city. He has two thousand on
hand for the shooting match to morrow
Another man in Sparta, twenty-eight miles
from here, has caught and sold over eight
cen hundred dollars worth this season. The
price they bring-four dollars a hundred by
the quantity pigeon catching rather
profitable. Il is fun for the men but very
bad for the pigeons. Lacrosse Democrat.
