They are
/ The number of soldiers which Wis.
eOnsin has sent 70 the war.
2. The fact that owing to the war, the
unsettled condition of the country and the
numerous drafts, both foreign immigration,
and emigration from the East have very
greatly fallen of, so that the number WHO
came from the East into Wisconsin during
the last Eve years have been nearly or quite
balanced by the number of those who have
left il for the West.
8. Wisconsin has passed the period of
its most rapid growth. Itno longer affords
the inducements to settlers that it used to.
What Wisconsin once was Nebraska and
Dacotah are now, and to them viii be
transferred the vsst influx of immigrants.
4. The tendency of emigration has of
late been, and will henceforth be, to the
south west rather than the northwest.
Slavery removed and rebellion crushed,
the fertile fields, inviting climate and rich
products of Kentucky, Tennessee, and
States further south, will invite the settler,
and these latitudes rather than higher
oues will feel Che wonderful effects Of new
blOed and fresh enterprise, with which Yam

Quite nInDeF of commissioned eficers

Hence many hold on, and some prolong
their duties as much a. possible, hoping to
be relieved and ordered to report for mus

would no doubt gladly embrace the oppor-
