The Austro- Mexican Contingent.

Intelligence from Vienna confirms
positively the report that the crops
Of volunteers enrolled iii Austria by
Maxtmilllan's agents has been dis
olved. 1t appears that shortly before
Mr.. Motley, u Minister at Vienna,
communicated to Count Mensdorf
the American protestation, the Count
had received note from the Austrian
Minister at Washington, in which
the opinion was expressed that the
departure ofthe volunteers for Mexico
would be considered by the American
Government as q breach of the
neutrality observed by Austria up to
the present time in this affair, and
that the United States would not
fail at the right time to avail them
selves of this circumstance as IRE
text for intervention in favor of
Juarez.

New Volume.

This number begins the 10Th year
Of our connection with the HERALD
as it's editor and proprietor, and the
twenty-fourth volume commences.
The HERALD had 264 subscribers
when we undertook its publication
in the year 1851. The circulation
is now about 1900, and the paper is
read by four or FIVE times that num-
Der. If we had a power press, or
had the ability to purchase one, at a
cost of 81, 500, as we may have next
year, and should slightly enlarge, the
circulation would very soon run up
to $500.
The HERALD is not a great paper
for news, but for local intelligence
and usefulness it is giving good sat
isfaction TO the people. It aims not
at popularity nor caters to any pop
ular party or class. The editor gen
eralizes things and jumps at conclu-
sions, seldom failing to come within
tie lines of right. The HERALD is
therefore unpopular at times, partic-
ularIy with persons who would prefer
to have their sly and selfish practices
kept in the dark. AS a general thing
that part Of the people, a minority,
who believe in doing what is right,
are all friendly toward the HERALD.
1t is this minority that governs us,
and we govern said minority and to-
gether we govern Grant County and
keep things about as near right as
they + kept any where in the Uni
led States. And as Grant is q very
large county ana not far out of the
right way, the state of Wisconsin is
very greatly governed by the HER
AID and good people Of Grant.
Volume Is, now begun, will be in
toresting and useful, often amusing.

We offer our orchard and its present
successful condition.
For pruning trees, prepare such
implements as q compass saw, mar
row chisel, axe and jack knife, all
sharp, and in two hours you a re-
lieve quite an orchard of all excess of
limbs. On Saturday last, we, with
another hand, relieved 500large trees
OF their surplus limbs, and of such
trees as had malformed forks, often
more than half their tops were cut
away. The work appeared quite de,
structive and contrary to the taste of
old fogy orchard men. But if any
have doubts of its success they may
call anytime and be relieved. Last
year and the year before we prac-
tised the same on several hundred
and since have not lost a tree SO
treated but on the contrary they ap-
pear so reclaimed as to keep their
tops within right bounds, neither
throwing out excess of limbs nor
limbs badly formed at the crotch
1t is worth something handsome to a
man to be able to thus cheaply save
his orchard from ruin and it would
pay 1000 men in Grant Co. each 500
per day for visiting u orchard and
learning how, as we'll as satisfying
the mind that what we write and
print is true.
Our method of treatment all fol-
lowed as the logical result of the dis
covery we made three years ago, that
diseased circulation or damaged sap
is the cause OF the so-oalled Winter-
killing, and that the prime causes of
such diseased circulation are bad or
deformed forks, out of-season pruning,
second growth and failure to mature
wood, &C., all of which may be pre-
vented orremedied by a small amount
Of work at the right time, a little
common sense and the knowledge
how to operate which knowledge
may be had of the subscriber-with-
out charge. j. C. Cover.

To Assessors and People

The popular error existing in some
towns, allowing moneys to be includ-
Cd with credits, and deducting both
these from Indebtedness, has been
productive Of much wrong. Money
should not be deducted from indcbt-
edness-credits only should be so de
Quoted. Assessors will please see to
this, and for instruction see final
opinion Of the Atty General.
Also, it appears from the same that
the local Boards, or Town Supervis-
ors, have the power and right, and
their duty is to correct and amend
the listings of persons assessed when
there are reasons for believing that
such persons do not give in their pro-
perty fully and fairly for taxation.
The reverse Of this has been held
etrenuously by wealthy citizens OF
some townsville Assessors and local
Boards however generally agreeing
with the views entertained by the
Attorney General.
Lately Nj. c.. K. Dean, Of Boscobel
wrote to the Secretary Of State who
presented the questions above to the
Atty General for official opinion the
following was received by Mr.. Dean,
and referred by him for publication
Office of Attorney General,
Madison, June 6, 1866.
Hon THos. S. ALLEN,
Secretary Of State.
Dear Sir:
In reply TO your
Communication enclosing the letter
Of O. il. Dean, of Rnseobel, | have
the honor TO say that it is the opinion
of the Atty General, that deductions
can only be made from credits
that is, demands, out standing, and
that money cannot be finoluded
among the credits"
Upon the I'd query I beg to refer
you TO tbs decision Of the Supreme
Court - Wis. POI.
Under that dec;s n the Atty Gen
eral IS Of the opinion, that "the loca
Gown board Of equalization" is no
bound by the person assessed, anC
that upon proper proof the board
nay correct any error whether oc.
asioned by the mistake of the As
SCISSOR or the fraudulent act Of tn,
party assessed.
! have the honor to be
your obedient serv't,

to cheer them up. He told them
they were going to fight their old
enemy. He said they must not

shonld give them no instructions as
to what they might DO witLmen who
might fall into their hands"
"Not more than one quarter Of
the Fenians that marched into Canada
have arrived. They went into the

beyond the line. General Spear had
been drinking and was somewhat
intoxicated, and some Of his men
obtained whiskey and were feeling
well, Notwithstanding their discour-
aging circumstances. Others was

to eat-aboutf5o purchased meals at

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, May 81.
The amendments of the recon.
struction resolution, as passed by the
House, agreed upon in the Union
Republican Senatorial caucus, and to
be adopted without doubt by the
Senate, constitute a remarkable
phenomenon in the history of Con-
g%ressional political legislation. For
once the Senate has proved mor
progressive than the House. The
reconstruction proposition, as amen>
ded, is certainly an Improvement
upon the original form in which it
was adopted by the House. 1t is
not only more satisfactory to the
Senate, but also acknowledged by
the majority of the House to be
much preferable to and more perfect
than the scheme matured in their
own body. The traditional province
OF the Senate has always been to
tone down and check the radical
tendencies of the House. But in
this matter it has impaired a more
liberal character to the rather con-
servatige conclusion of the House.
upon the most important issue of the
session. Would that the ripper
knowledge, clearer understanding,
and calmer reflection, that is usually
ascribed to the Senate, had induced
the Republican majority to recog-
nize the unquestionable fact, that
public opinion is in advance of Con-
gress in its appreciation of the props
er mode of dealing with the recon
%struction question, and conformed
the amendments to It'll As it is, [
am confident that the action Of the
Senate will be more acceptable to the
loyal people than the original propo:
sition of the Committee of Fifteen.
There is very little to be said
about the discussion upon the amen
ded resolution. There is such an
unanimity of feeling in its favor on
the Union Republican side, that no
particular efforts from the friends of
the measure are deemed necessary
to refute the spiritless, feeble demon
STATIONS against it by the opposi-
ton. For once, the Democrats and
Andrew Johnson men have an al
most undisputed monopoly of the
floor. But for the death of General
Scott and the consequent adjourn
ment until Monday, the resolution,
as amended, would have passed be-
fore the close of the week. As it is,
a final vote will probably not be
reached before Wednesday or Thurs
day. The OPPOSITION seem determin-
ed to avenge themselves for their
numerical powerlessness by infic-
ting the provoking annoyance of
long, dull speeches upon the MAORI
ty. The great Kentucky bore
fails to allow himself the grim salts
faction Of trying the patience of his
adversaries to the utmost in this
wise, and will not fail to produce o
well strung out argument for that
purpose on this occasion.
