all items of interest respecting Wisconsin
troops in the military service. 1t has cores
pondents in nearly every regiment and bat
terry None of its contemporaries can COM

first made public through its columns. This
is feature of the paper to which we invite
particular notice.

Army Contracts.

In view of the great good which might be
accomplished by giving employment to the
families of soldiers and others who need the
same, the Governor made application on the
I4th ult. to Quartermaster-General MEIGs for
the letting of contracts for the manufacture
of army clothing within this State, to which
the following reply has been received:
QUARTERMAsTER-G GENERALS OFFICE,
WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. %, 1864.
HIS Ebcelleney, James z. Lelcis, Governor OF
Wisconsin:
SIR: Your letter of the l4th inst. has been
received Very large contracts for clothing
and the manufacture of clothing have been
given out in the Western States during the
war. One of the principal depots for supply
of clothing is located in Cincinnati. There
are other smaller depots in the west, and this
Department has from time to time sent ma
terial into several of the Northwestern States
to be made up into clothing for their respect
i've quotas under the several calls for troops.
Orders have been given TO send to Wiscon-
sin the material needed to make up clothing
for her quota under the proclamation of the
10th inst. Contracts awarded at Cincinnati
are very often taken by bidders from the
east, as the greater part of the army uniform
cloth is manufactured east Those who con-
tract to make up this cloth seem to prefer to
do so near the seat of the wooden manufac-
ture. This the Department has neither the
power nor the right to control. Whatever
responsible bid under public advertisement is
lowest. must be accepted, whether the bidder
is a resident of one or another State.
Very respectfully,
Your ob't servant,
.(Signed) NJ. Q. MEIes,
@. NJ. Gen1 and Bvt. Major-Genl.

There are several others already nearly ae
profitable. The Tarr Farm, the Funk Farm,
the two McClintock farms are without much
doubt equally good.
Not half dozen wells properly bored on
these farms have proved Improbable. Most
of them are fortunes to their owners. Up
the Cherry Run, a branch of Oil Greek, wells
have been sunk with equal success, many OF
them yielding from one to three hundred bar
rels per day. Cherry Tree Run, also branch
of Oil Greek, near by, shows still better in
dications of oil, and is now in great demand.
Probably five hundred or thousand wells
are going down on these two creeks. That
the usual average of them will strike oil, is
certain; and that the fortunes of the land
proprietors is made that moment, is no less
certain. Land on these streams sells readily
at from one thousand to twenty-five thousand
dollars per acre, and still rising.

things / would like to say in this letter about
OildOm, but it would take up too much room

of oil and Oil-taIk to be able to write decent

"crevices," surface indications" and good
shows" In fact, when we heard the good
news of the surrender of Savannah, we were
reminded for the first time in week that
the country was at war. OF such is the King
dom of Oil
/ must not forget to add that | found on
the creek our former townsman A. G. Davis;
also B. s. Heath, who left our diamond city

missouri G0Yernnr,s Message.

Thos G. Fletcher, newly elected radical
Governor of Missouri, was inaugurated at JEFF
ferson City the I'd, and his inaugural message
read to the Assembly. After speaking in
general but glowing terms of the new era
for the State, the fate of slavery, the peoples
verdict at the recent election, the dark past
and bright future, advantages and resources
of Missouri, the future home of progress,
truth and faith, he enjoins strenuous efforts
to preserve harmony in every department of
the State government with all measures of
the National Administration.
He advises the legislature to furnish homes
and education for the orphans of our SOL
diers, and SAYS that in his appointments to
office he shall give preference TO men who
have served with honor in the field, and
recommends that the school system be en-
larged so as to include military instruction,
and the transformation of the State Univer-
sity into free academy, with departments
bearing directly upon and qualifying
young men for the development of our
agricultural and mineral wealth. He advises
a modification of the militia law, and the di-
vision of those subject to military duty into
two classes, and the abolition of the commu-
tation clause in the present law, and says the
right of citizenship and home in Missouri
ought to be inseperable from the duty of as
sisting in its defence.
He enioins great care in the revision of the
statutes and amendments to the Constitution
about to be made. He will require the era
sion from them Of the word "slave," the abo-
lition of all distinction of color in the law re-
lating to crimes aud their punishments, and
the abrogation of all laws for fostering and
protecting the interests of slavery.
He recommends the passage of a registra-
10 for ho NJ
and SAYS that men who by rebellion have
disavowed their allegiance to the Govern
ment should regain the privileges of citizen
ship through the United States naturalization
laws, while the liberty glowing foreigner, will
ling to fight for his adopted country, should
have the probationary term preceding the ac-
QUESTION of citizenship shortened for all pur-
poses of State elections. He advises the en-
couragement of emigration by all possible
means and assures Union men who have been
driven from the State that they can return
with safety.
He regrets the condition of our finances
and suggests the issue of interest bonds for
accrued interest on State debt, and that the
portion of the interest we are unable now to
meet bear no interest for three years, then 8
per cent. increasing the rate per cent. per an
mum for two years the maximum rate to be
per cent
He urges the propriety of selling all rail-
roads which have forfeited their charters by
non payment of interest. He recommends
completion of the roads, as most necessary to
the state, and requests the General Assembly
to exercise all Its power over the railroads
and other corporations to compel them, un
der penalty,to employ none but entirely loyal
men.

A REBEL ATTACK ON GRANTS PICKET LINES
"A Washington dispatch gives the following
account of an attack on the picket lines of
the army of the Potomac Saturday, which it
is said is the only thing of interest that has
occurred for some time:
"About daylight our pickets in that part of
the front line between Forts Howard and
Wadsworth, now occupied by the lst and Sd
brigades of the LIST Corps, were surprised by
about 800 rebels, who charged upon them
without any previous warning, and drove
them back within their entertainments, kill
ing two, wounding three and capturing thirty.
The rebels then gathered the blankets and
knapsacks which our men left at the picket
post, and returned to their ranks without
losing man. The attack was so unexpect-
ed, and the affair so quickly over, that the
officer of our picket guard had not time to
give orders to his men with view to resist
until they had fallen back upon the entrench-
ments. The assault was of a most furious
character, the enemy charging with yells and
firing rapidly as they advanced, very natu-
rally evincing the belief that it was an attack
in force. The scattering fire maintained by
our forces during the retreat was ineffective,
and the enemy did not remain long enough
for those behind the entertainments to be
aroused"

THE EMIGRATION MOVEMENT Our
readers will remember the article
which appeared in our columns day
or two ago, regarding the organiza-
ton of emigration societies in Ger
many and Poland; also the announce
ment that one colony of the latter
nationality had selected site for
permanent location on the Trinity
River, near Palestine, Texas. Since
the publication of the article in ques-
ton, we learn on excellent authority
that there has been meeting of the
leading Poles in this city, and that
the subject of Polish emigration to the
South was taken into serious consi-
deration.
The consultation was held in the
Office of the Secretary of State, and
about O dozen gentlemen were pre-
sent, the principal subject taken
under discussion being the best mode
which could be adopted for receiving
their fellow -countrymen Immediately
upon arriving iu this city, and for
warding them to their final destination
with the least inconvenience and
trouble. The meeting was informal,
and no defiuite plan was arrived at,
but we hope and believe that much
good viii spring from it hereafter.
It is intended by these gentlemen,
we learn, to organize permanent So
ciety for the encouragement of emil
grafton, and we hope their efforts will
meet with the fullest success. AS we
remarked on a previous occasion, we
cannot have too many of this class
the agriculturists- Louisiana, and
we doubt not if an appeal was pro-
perly made, that our Polish fellow
citizens would receive the most sub
stantial aid and encouragement from
this community, generally, in further
ance Of their plans. In connection
with the colony to be established at
Palestine, we may remark that several
very respectable Polish families from
this city have attached their fortunes
to those of the colonists, and will
leave for Texas as soon as the others
arrive.
We think this subject of emigration,
especially of citizens of the kind
referred to, matter of deep impor-
tance to the entire community, all
circumstances considered, and we
should be pleased to see an organiza-
ton for the purpose of inducing peo-
pie who think of emigrating from
agricultural districts of the Old World,
to turn their steps hitherward. It
would be mutual benefit--an advan-
tage both to the enigrants and the
State The former are in search of
rich fertile tields-Louisiana possess
es these lands, but needs the emf
grants to cultivate them Thus all
concerned can be suited
