WoaKiSa GlRts.-Happy girls-who
caonot love them? With cheeks like the
rose, bright eyes and elastic steps, how
cheertuly they 60 to work. Our word
for it, such girls Will make excellent wives.
Blessed indeed will the men DO who
secure such prizes. Contrast then with
those who do nothing but sigh all day
and live to follow the fashions. Who
never earn the bread they eat, or shoes
they wear who are languid and lazy
from one week S end to another. Who
but silnpleton and popiniay would pre-.
fer one of the latter, he were looking
for "a companion? Give us the working
girls. They have no aifectation, no silly
airs about them. When they meet you.
they speak without putting on dc1en airs,
or trying to show off to better advantage,
and you feel as if you we're talking la q
human being, and not to q paiated or
fallen angel. VI
II g'rls knew how sadly they miss ii.
while they endeavor to show off their
delicate hands and unseiled skin, and put
on thousand airs, they would give worlds
for tho situation Of the working ladies,
who are above them in Intelligence, in
HONOR in everything, as the heavens ara
above the earth, BE wise, then. You
who have made fools of yourselves thro'
life. Turn over new leaf, and begin to
live and act as human beings; as CON-
panions to immortal man. In no other
way can you be happy, and subse;ve tho
delights Of your existence,

last ADMoSITIoNs To LAZY Boy
y late clergyman, who was as well known
for his eccentricty as his talents, one day
sent his son, a lazy lad, about twelve years
of age. to catch his horse.
The boy went sauntering along, half
asleep, with an ear OF corn in one hand
and the bride in the other, dragging the
reins on the ground.
Thomas :" said his father, calling af-
ter him in solemn tone of voice, " come
here. Thomas; want to say a word to
you before you Co."
The lad lazily returned, aud the parson
proceeded
"You know, Thomas, l have given you
a great deal of good counsel. You know
| have taught you, before closing your
eyes, always to say,
"Now l lay me down to sleep, ETC.,
besides good many other things in the
way Of exhortatioh and advice. But
this is the last opportunity | shall ever
have of speaking to you, and | couldn't
let it pass without giving you my parting
advice. BE good boy Thomas, and
always say that pretty prayer when you
are going to sleep. l fear | never shall
meet you again"
As he said this in very grave and sol
emn manner, the poor boy began to be
frightened, and burst into tears with this
exclamation
you'll never see me again, pa ?"
"No-for [ shall die before you get
back with the horse"
This quickensd Thomas ideas, and
gathering up the bride reins, he ran aud
caught the horse sooner than he had ever
done before.

To Volunteers.

BY the Adjutant Generals Order No. IA,
first issued, we learn that the quota of our
State is 1902 According to this Order,
enlistments can be made in any of the old
regiments for one, two, OF three years as the
recruit may elect, and he credited to any
residence he may choose to select.
This Order makes provision for the forma-
ton of new regiments under the present
500, 900 call, but all such new regiments
must be for the term of three years or
during the war. The Adjutant General
says: eff the quota above given is not
filled by voluntary enlistments, draft is
ordered by the General Government on the
9th day of September next, to supply the
deficiency then existing" The Order closes
with the following appeal to the patriotism
of the people. Let it not fall as a dull
sound upon the ear, but acted on at once.
The Government wants the men, and must
and wilI have them. Let Dodgeville and
Iowa county do her duty at once, and cheer
fully, as she has always done heretofore.
But to the appeal:
In again calling upon the State to con-
tribute from her sons to fill the ranks Of our
army, the Governor remembers with pride
the response which has ever been made to
calls Of the General Government and the evil
dence therein given that Wisconsin still
maintains her place among the foremost i'll
loyalty and devotion the Union.
! He again appeals with confidence to the
unwearied patriotism Of the people for a
prompt response by voluntary enlistmcnts
to this call, with the hope that the new ac-
cessions thereby secured to our national
forces shall result in the speedy overthrow
of rebellion, the supremacy of the Govern
ment, and the establishment of peace and
prosperity throughout all the land.

"The enemy yesterday attempted to in.
terrupt Sherman's movements by at.
tacking the 10Th Corps, but were badly
repulsed. Several regimental Gags were
captured. The public may rest assured
that everything is working successful in
this department.
Tt appears that Gen. Bragg recently
came to Atlanta from Richmond. and
at council of war held for the purpose
stated that Atlanta must and should be
held at all hazards. Gen. Johnston re-
piled that to do so it would require the
sacrifice of the whole army, to which
he would not consent, and therefore re-

it on any terms, when it was given to

The Sacking and Burning Of Cham
bersubrg.

On the morning of the Both ult., the
rebels about 5000 strong under Nc
Causland, entered the city, demanding
100000 of the citizens as ransom
for the place. This demand proved to
be mere pretext on the part of the
marauders to cover up a purpose formed
before they reached the town to burn
it to the ground without giving the citi-
zens any time to remove either private
property or their families. Over 25O
houses in the heart of the town, includ.
ing all the public buildings, stores and
hotels, comprising about two thirds OF
the place, were consumed. The popu-
lation of Chambersburg was about
5000. The loss will be largely over
81 900, 900 Without aid from abroad
great suffering will be caused by this
fendish act of rebel rage.
The scene is said to have lLsssn heart
rending and appalling, the cracking and
roaring of flames, the shrieks of women
and the pitiful appeals of the old and
helpless, formed an understandable scene
of horror. The citizens without pro-
test had submitted to plumber, and had
even appealed to the mercy of the rebels
but nothing could appease the butcher
and incendiary MeCausland.

The rebels have constructed strong
works at Atlanta and it is not at all un-
likely that they may keep US at bay for
few days longer, if they remain in
their present position, but even if they
do SO Hood will scarcely save the re-
mainder of his army.
The battle Of the 22d is said to have
been the severest fight yet had in the
western department of the army. Near
5000 dead rebels were buried by our
men. Official dispatches received from
before Atlanta, state that the rebels as
saulted Sherman line vigorously on the
9th, but were repulsed disastrously.-
Shermans killed and wounded number
ed 600. He buried 600 rebels. Hoods
loss was 1000.
In the battle of the goth, in which
the goth Corps and one division of the
4th Corps, and part of the 18th Corps
were engaged, the total Union loss was
1.733. In front of the Goth Corps
there were put out of fight 5000 abels,
and 1853 rebels were buried fy oul
troops, and the rebels were permitted te
bury $50 themselves. The I'd Division
of the 18th Corps repulsed seven assaults
and captured seven stand of colors.
In the battle of the 22d, the total
Union loss was 3,51O, 10 pieces of ar
tillery. The rebel loss in killed was
5000, and some 10000 wounded, Is
colors and 5000 small arms.
