The entire acquiescence OF the people OF W.
einia, aud Of the Southern States, IN the results
of the war, and the issues made by the late con
test and settled by the arbitrament OF arms, and
their universal consent to a restoration OF the
government of the United States, and
Union of the States, with their willingness to
obey the laws and give allthe required pledges
for allegiance, have evidently disconnected the
calculations Of many of those who: PROCESSING
great devotion to the Union, loo ked, for selfish
ends, to prolongation Of trouble, desired
harsh measures, and seemed to be pleased
with the prospect Of mo settlement, IN
less on terms which would be CALLING and op-
pressive to the last degree. The course OF the
President of the u. S. has, therefore, been
met and opposed by this class of politicians in
various quarters Of the country. Messrs'
Sumner, Butler, Wilson, Stevens, ana otnef
leaders, with their followers, thus, at an early
stage of the present administration are placed
in position, which will call their loyalty IN
ouestion-and it will be and is asked by their
nolitical opponents. are they really Union men

The Wool Interest.

The National Association of Wool Manu-
facturers was organized at Springfield,
Mass, last year. Its annual meeting took
place in Philadelphia few days since. The
primary object Of the organization is the
compilation Of information relative to the
actual condition of the wool interest in the
United States, and such use of the knowl-
edge gained, as shall best subserve protec-
ton and advancement. Early in 1864 sew
enteen hundred circulars with 1nterrogations
in blank were sent to the whole ascertained
number of persons engaged as wooden man
ufacturers in twenty one States From
these nearly one thousand answers were re-
ceivedin time for the Philadelphia gathering.
When the returns sought are fully in hand
the association will be in possession of
mass of statistics more complete and accu
rate than has ever before been brought to-
gether, comprising the amount of wooden
machinery i'll the country, quantity and de-
scription Of wool consumed and of goods
manufactured. On such presentnent of
facts, intelligent legislation. may be based
to degree never before attainable. As the
response for the call for this information
was not all in hand in time for the reports
OF the late session, its statistics were ircom-
plete, but sufficiently indicated a very large
increase in product and manufacture. From
seven hundred and fifty-six principal and
heavy manufacturers in twenty-one States
these returns forwarded showed that their
consumption of wool was lis, 72O, 600
pounds. BY comparison with the lists of
the United States Assessors it is believed
that this represents about three fourths of
the total consumption Of the year, showing
the amount to have doubled since the year
1859 preceding the last census, the nearest
comparison that could be made. It must
be remembered that the product of heavy
wooden fabrics was stimulated by the pc
culiar demands of the army, and that this
called for large increase of manufacturing
facilities that were only fully in operation
within the last year or two Of the war. The
following liable was presented, showing the
value of wooden goods manufactured in the
United States for the year ending June 80,

For EQUAL RIGHTS. Dodgeville Id
r0cGte says that in the Union County Con-
yention, held there last week, Col. AMAsA
COBB, member Of Congress from the Third
District made some interesting remarks,
reviewing IN brief manner the doings and
changes OF the past four years, renouncing
his former prejudices in regard to the negro,
and asserting himself willing to give the
negro fair and impartial trial, and here
after as long as he behaves himself man,
to treat him as man, and concede to him
all the rights and privileges due man. /"
Col. COBB is evidently not one of those
soldiers of whom the Copperheads talk so
much, who are willing rebels should vote,
but are anxious to disfranchise loyal Union
men whose skins happen to be little dark
er than the fashionable standard.
