NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Richmond
papers mention another Union expedition
in New Orleans in addition to the one up
the Roanoke. They say that last Sunday
three hundred men from gunboat in
Chowen River destroyed all the rebel COM
missary stores at Murfreesboro and Hart
ford county and took off a number of
horses and mules.
Board and lodging are advertised in
Richmond papers at twenty-five dollars
per day.
In the rebel Senate on the 18th reso-
luton was offered to establish the flags of
the Confederate States, and it appears that
the rebel navy object to the present flag,
because in a calm it looks like flag Of
truce.
Mr.. Henrys joint resolution to prose-
cute the war until independence was So
cured was adopted
The salaries of the members and officers
OF the House were increased to $3.50 per
month.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th
has semi official editorial in favor of
arming slaves and says Gen. Lee is in IA
vor OF the proposition. The Enquirer
says when we supplicate European nations
for help, we must be prepared to receive it
in their conditions which will be the abo-
lition of slavery. 1t also asks ''Shall we
prolong the war, sacrifice our children
and destroy our country, for the sake of
the negro?" 1t concludes, "we hate, de-
test, and despise the enemy far more than
We love slavery" :'i
A telegram to the Richmond Whiq from

Foster is quiet under his failure on the Sa-

despaired of opening communications with
the sea at Beaufort. The capture of Fort
AcAllister is announced. The liability of
its capture has been well understood. Sher-
man will now be able to get supplies by
way of Ossibaw Sound. Should he cap
ture Savannah he will have exchanged q
city in the interior for city on the coast,
which has been completely closed to COM
merce since the loss of Fort Pulaski in

Judicial Ccnyenticn.

In this column will be found a call for
a District Convention, to nominate candi-
date for Judge of the Circuit Court in the
place of Judge Cothren, whose term of office
expires next summer. We hope to see a
good set of delegates appointed, who, when
they meet at Platteville on the 23d inst,
will see that the right kind of man is nom
mated, one who is honest, faithful, capable
and one who will call around him the en-
tire strength fthe Union Republican party.
We think it high time that the Fifth
Judicial District was presided over by a
Judge whose sympathies are with his be-
leaguered country. =
Among the names spoken of as likely
to come up before the Convention, are
those of, j. Allen Barber, j. S. Mills, and
0. Paine, Esqrs. Mr.. Magoon, of Shulls-
burg, is also spoken of as suitable cam
didate, but it is generally conceded that
to Grant county belongs the honor Of fur
nishing the next Judge of this Circuit.

REORGANIZATION There, Etc.

Idaho-Idaho-th is the all-absorbing
topic in our midst at present Nearly every
third man we meet, or hear speak, is either
thinking of, or making calculations to 60 to
this newly discovered Eldorado, or land of
gold. Many of our exchanges coming to US
from different parts of the State speak of
companies forming and preparing to try
their fortunes in that far-off mountainous
region of country. No doubt every one is
in hopes of lettering his worldly condition,
but the facts must not be lost sight of, that
distance lends enchantment to the view"
and it is but reasonable to suppose that the
luck-success we will call it, will be in pro-
portion to all great ventures-that Of the
thousands who make them, not one in ten
ever realize their expectations, still there is
a restless spirit in man that must be graft
fed, let the future consequences be what
they may.
We do not for moment suppose that
this desire and preparation to visit the land
of gold is confined to Wisconsin alone, but
have no doubt that other states have caught
, the golden mania also, which will cause a
rush, and consequent high prices for all the
necessaries of life, which will eat up the
golden harvest as FAST as it is gathered
Our cotemporary of the Grant County
Herald makes the following remarks on
this subject, which we recommend to the
consideration of our readers. Speaking Of
the many that are preparing to leave that
county, he says: eve had hoped that no
new enterprise of the sort would be started
till the close of the war or until the great
work of salvation of the country is first
settled. But so it is; were the final judg-
ment and some new gold discovery both
next announced, we guess there would be
more preparation to secure the gold than a
clear record in the great book of accounts.
Mammon before county, gold above saliva
( ton ~ A#
We learn from number of those intend
ing to try their luck, that at least forty or
| fifty persons, some of them our most en-
ergetic and enterprising citizens, are max
ing all possible arrangements to start on or
about the first of March, so as to make an
early entree into the land of gold. We be-
lieve they all take the central route through
| by Fort Laramie.

Twelfth Reg't Wis. Vol.

Over six hundred men of the 18th Wis
'consin Regiment have re-enlisted for three
wears or during the war, and are probably
at this writing on their way home, for
thirty DAYS furlough 1t is the largest
veteran regiment in the service, very
healthy and under excellent discipline. The
Inspector General Of the 18th Army Corps,
in his report to Washington, highly COM
plements them on their soldierly appearance,
and says they made the finest appearance
of any regiment on inspection. Every
man was in full uniform and every accou-
trement and equipment was swung proper
ly, knapsacks neatly packed, and their
clothing clean, every gun and every belt
and catridge-box, and plate, shown like
polished silver" Lieut.. Colonel Proudfit,
in writing to Colonel Bryant, says: ''The
non-commissioned staff are unanimous in
their determination to see the thing out,
and have all gone in for another three
years. Company G, takes the flag I offer
er to the company raising the most veterans
in proportion to the number present. They
raised 81 out of o."
We also learn by private letters, that
Company G, is expecting to pay Dodge
vile visit, in body, as a Company. We
trust our citizens and the ladies in particu-
lar, will not be behind in making prepare
tons to give them reception worthy of
the laurels they have SO nobly won. We
rely mainly on the ladies, for we know how
we'll they can manage an affair of the kind,
when they undertake it.
We have since learned that they have
gone with a number of other Wisconsin
Regiments down the River, probably to
Mobile, their rc-enlistment papers not
being completed until after the order to join
the expedition was received.

COBB, for the speech of Hon. l. N. ARNOLD.
of Illinois, on the power, duty and necessity
of destroying Slavery in the Rebel States,
delivered in the House of Representatives,
January 9th, 1864. This is one of those
strong and truthful speeches that will do
the reader good, whether his views accord
with the principles of the Administration
or not We wish that more reading of this
kind was in the hands of the people, read
and studied by them, there would be less

IA few evenings since a number of
our juvenile bloods thinking it would be a
nice thing to have an extra supper, as well
as the Ladies' Home Aid Society, took it
into their heads to break the commandment
which says, "Thou shalt not steal" and
visited the roosts of some Ofour citizens, lev
ing contributions on old Chanticleer and
his feathered family. Next proceeding to
the Frame School House, they made an en-
trance without regard to locks, bolts or bars,
prepared their feast, consumed it, and had a
good time generally, doing more or less
damage to the room, furniture, maps, books.
etc. We understand the offenders are to be
dealt with. We hopesthey may be, and a
lesson learned them for the future.

Arena for one of our physicians, which was
temporarily laid on the counter in the Post
office, and very soon misteriously disap-

that there was suspicious individual at
one of our hotels, who when accused of the
theft made loud protestations of innocence,
but on examination all the missing articles
of the package were found upon his person.
