men enlisted on these conditions at the
present writing. The citizens Of the
Town not wishing to be outdone by the
Village, issued handbills, calling a
meeting on the goth inst, "for the pur-
pose of raising money by tax, or other
wise, to ill the quota Of the whole
town Of Dodgeville." This meeting
appointed a committee to visit the
school districts out of the corporation
to see what amount of money could be
raised. They reported last Thursday
evening that the sum Of s., 900, or
thereabouts had been subscribed or
could be obtained It was considered
that the quota Of the Town could not
be more than 40, which would need
$1,000 more to pay bounty Of 5000 to
each volunteer which amount it was
thought could be raised by voluntary
subscription. But strong feeling
arose against the action of the Village
in trying to get set off into subdis-
trict, and a number Of speeches were
made tending to incense the meeting
against the Village, which eliminated
in the subscriptions being partially
thrown away-as number Of the sub
scribers had put down their names on
the condition that there should be no
tax-and the passage Of a resolution
that the sum of $4,000 be levied and
collected by tax upon the whole Town,
the Village included-which it has been
previously stated has made provision
for, and in fact has enlisted the greater
part Of the men needed to fill her
quota.
The above is fair statement of the
way affairs have been managed and the
way they stand at the present time.
We censure no one, neither do we ac-
cuse any one Of acting unfairly, but
under the circumstances, considering
that the Village have made the provi-
sion above Stated, we ask the citizens Of
the Town is it just that the Village
should pay about thirds Of the pro
posed $4,000?

ministration will, according to the present
indications, conduct the campaign. The
loyal and patriotic portion must be prepar.

cowardly arts boldly and chcerfully, with

Winter Wheat.

As the time for sowing winter wheat
is now at hand, it is high time our farm
ers were preparing their grounds, knew
where good clean seed could be OBJ
tanned, &c. We believe number of
farmers in different parts of our county
have raised good average crops this sea
son, and no doubt have seed to sell. We
see in the Grant County Herald that
the Messrs. Holloway, near Lancaster,
raised 10 acres, estimated to yield from
20 to 80 bushels per acre. These men
advertise good clean seed for sale at
$40 per bushel.
We arc inclined to think that half
bushel of oats to the bushel Of wheat
mixed together and drilled in or plowed
under, would be great preserving help
during the winter, especially if the fall
Of snow should be light. Let every far
mer that can, put III i've or ten acres of
winter wheat between now and the 10th
of September
P. S.-Since the above was put in type
we received very friendly visit from Hon.
L. W. Joiner, of Wyoming Valley. He
informs us that he has raised this season
splendid crop of White Winter Wheat.
The seed Of this wheat was brought from
Minnesota, into which State it was intro
duced, we believe, from the Genesee Valley,
n. Y. We have seen this variety growing
in Minnesota, where it is highly priced as a
hardy and prolific variety. We think those
of our farmers who intend to SOW this fall
cannot do better than try this variety OF
wheat Mr.. Joiner has some five or six
hundred bushels, which he will sell very
reasonable.

News Summary.

During the past week considerable
news has been received from the South,
the most important Of which is from
the armies Of Gems. Grant and Sher-
man, though Admiral Farragut at
Mobile has been doing considerable
execution in the way of capturing forts
and reducing that place to the level of
besieged city. On the 18th inst. part
of Gen Grants forces, under command
of Gen. Warren, started on an expedi-
ton to cut the Weldon r. r., which
they succeeded in doing after hard
fought battle, in which they lost 5000
in killed, wounded and missing. We
took about $50 prisoners, and the rebel
loss in killed and wounded is consid-
cred to be equal to ours. The latest
we have from Grant is up to Sunday
the 21st at 6 o'clock P. NJ. At that
time our forces still held the road, a
good part of which had been destroyed
Heavy cannonading was going on, both
armies being intrenched, and a general
battle might be expected at any time.
The news from Gen. Sherman has
not been received up to SO late a date
but the latest accounts inform us that
Atlanta is very closely invested, and
probably Gen. Sherman prefers siege
to storming the works Our cavalry
are constantly on the alert, cutting the
railroads, capturing supply trains, &c
The soldiers are in good spirits, and
very confident of success, for believing
that Gen. Sherman understands the po-
sition and knows how to meet the emer-
gencies they are resolved to wait his
time.
The news from Mobile is good, and
it may be confidently expected that be
fore long that city may share the fate
of Norfolk, New Orleans and Other
Southern strongholds. The rebels
finding that Fort Powell could not be
successfully held, blew it up and evac-
uated it. Fort Gaines surrendered with
over 500 prisoners, and Fort Morgan i.
closely invested by = strong force or
either side. The rebel iron -clads in the
Bay were without an exception all de.
stroyed, either sunk, blown up or cap.

dered non-combatants out of the city
and urges the citizens to defend the city

The Indian troubles in the western

MIeHTT ORATORS AND IGNORANT PEoPLE-It
seems to be the opinion of some of our public men
that they can change the minds of the people, and
induce them to vote for them, by harangues from
the stump. But little was ever made, even in ordi.
nary times, by stump speeches but at time like
this, when every thing is at stake, and when the
minds of the people are already made up, harangues
from the stump and button holing in private effect
nothing. The people are not as ignorant as some
of the Destructive candidates suppose. Gov. Vance
going to carry the soldiers and the people like
a storm by his harangues, but instead of gaining
he has lost BY the operation. His speeches in the
army los: him thousands of votes and his speeches
at home are doing him no good. Let this mighty
orator go on and let the less mighty orators follow
his example They compliment the people by as
suming that they can convince them that they are
in error. We will very cheerfully abide the result
of this compliment The people will hear them
and then vote against them. "Hear, but strike, "
is the old expression; hear and strike, is the new
one.

no cards to distribute and something must be done

instance We heard of family in the mountains

not having meat grease or bread. The Governor

Guilford County.

We learn that the true Conservative ticket in
GuifOrd County for the Legislature is as follows:
For the Senate, Robert P. Dick, Esq. For the Com
mons D. F. Caldwell, Esq, Col Abram Clapp, and
Col A. S. Holton. These gentlemen are all Con-
ser7aves latter the straitest sect" and their elec
ton is regarded as certain by large majority.
Mr. Dick is we'll known to our readers as gen.
tleman of fine attainments and sterling patriot
He was devoted friend and active supporter Of
Mr. Douglas for the Presidency, and did every thing
in his power to prevent this awful war. For this
he was prescribed by the administration at Rich
mOnd as unworthy to hold Office at his hands,
compliment to Mr.. Dick as marked as the venom
was bitter which could lead an administration of
EhoLs people in the midst Of common war, to at
tempt to punish citizen for the honest exercise of
his political rights. Mr.. Dick was afterwards elect
ed to the State Convention by the people of Gull
ford, in which body he was uniformly found on
the side of Conservatism and popular rights. He
the Conservative candidate for the Senate in
GuIfOrd, and we learn from those who are well in
formed as to public sentiment in that County that
his election is certain by large majority.
Mr. Caldwell has frequently served the people Of
Guilford in the House of Commons, and has always
been noted as public man for his opposition to
arbitrary power, to abuses of every kind in the ad-
nulstation of public affairs, and for his devotion
to popular rights. If love of civil liberty, hatred
OF tyranny, and respect for the opinions of the
great body of the people be Of the essence of Con-
serVatSm, as they certainly are then Mr.. Caldwell
thorough embodiment of Conservatism latter
tne Straitest sect" The State contains no more
honest, candid, or patriotic citizen than David F.
Caldwell
AeSsrs. Clapp and Hoton are both gentlemen of
intelligence and character, and will make good rep

we'll be proud of their ticket We trust they will
work for it zealOusy in every neighborhood, so as
