WIscoNsrS.-The political reaction
which is taking place in most parts of the
country is likely to extend to Wisconsin.
'In that State" says the Detroit Free Press
"as in every Western State where the
German compose the bulk Of the Radical
phalanx, the prohibition question is doing
its work Of disintegra.ion. Sone of the
most influential politicians of the national
ity have come out in favor of social and
religious freedom, and against the Puritan
doctrines of the Radicals. Upon this
platform, committee composed of ten
Republicans and eight Democrats have
lately issued an address to the Germans
throughout the State which, If we indge
from the howl set up over it by the Daily
Wisconsin must be materially interfering
with the prospects Of the party great NOR
al ideas and so little toleratlon, That
sheet denounces the movement as a cop
perhead committee entirely regardless of
the circumstance that not only the major
ity of the committee are Republican, but
that its secretary, Mr.. Maschauer, who
served with distinction as an officer during
the late war, has also acted with the So
called Union party. We have, therefore,
every hope that another stronghold of
Radicalism may yet be redeemed before
the next Presidential election comes off {"

STORM SIGNALS DURING HARVEST

The storm which passed over this city on the
III instant, II Is ascertaned, commenced near the
line of North Carolina on the lst, and travelling
north about twenty miles an hour, it swept across
Virginia and Maryland and far into Penn
sylvania. 1t is easy to see that general acurn-
ing Of the approach of this and all similar storms
could be G wen several hours in advance by means
of the telegraph and cannon.
This storm was qnite heavy, but did not last
as long or extend as far as many that occur du-
ring harvest; AID yet, if it had come on in the
midst of harvest with large quantities of grain or
hay cut down. the damage would have been very
great, amounting to millions of dollars, most of
which could be saved at trif1ing cost, by the
adoption of the following simple plan, which is
| offered for the consideration of the farmer the
press and the public generally:
When storm commences in any part of the
country. and is travelling in certain direction,
the first telegraph station which it passes is
to send the news Immediately to all The tele-
graph stations at county seats scores or hundreds
of miles in advance, according to the supposed
distance that the storm may travel.
At each county seat cannon is to be kept
ready by the officials at the court house, and as
soon the news is received of a coming storm.
it is to be fired three times at intervals of one
minute if a hurricane is approaching, at intervals
of three minutes if the storm is travelling rapidly
and at Intervals of six minutes if it is travelling
slowly.
As good sized cannon can be heard distinct
ly from fifteen to twenty miles in all directions,
over space of from thirty to forty miles
square, by firing one at each county seat the
farmers for hundreds of miles over the whole
country would be warned in time to get their
grain or hay under cover, or in situation to
shut.out the rain. To give this plan practical
test, let several adjoining counties procure suit
able cannon from the State arsenal, and make ar
/, engagements with telegraph company to send
them the news of all approaching storms from
whatever direction; which will prove the
utility of the plan, after which it can be extended
over the whole country.
All newspapers in favor of this plan will please
publish it, and every farmer will examine it care
fully, and if app owed of should write to the
county clerk or other county official ofhis county
IN It's favor. 4. WATSON.

THE COURSE OF THE SOUTH.

The course of the South since the memorable
surrender at Apponattox has been biect Of
complimentary remark. No sooner had she
failed in accomplishing the purpose she de-
signed, than admitting her defeat, she at once
set to work to comply in earnest with the terms
presented by her conquerors. Her army was
at once broken up, and the public roads be-
came thronged with Southern soldiers returning
to their homes confessing their defeat, aud bent
upon turning their attention to the renovation
of their fortunes and material interests. They
have borne the loss of their slave property like
men acquescing in an ineVitability; and have
manifested a determination to secure for the
freedmen all that the altered relations make
necessary. With them they are to live, and as
we have said often, their interests being identi-
CAL it is the part Of wisdom to realize that their
we'll being is the same, and their prosperity is
80 inseparably united as to make it to the inter
est Of each to promote the common welfare.
Any teaching which runs counter to this, We
hold to be erroneous, and those who incucate
the idea of conflict Of interests, are the real
enemies of both races If the white and black
man are to live together, as they are for some
time to come, it is preposterous to preach to the
latter that the way to their mutual prosperity
and happiness is by different roads, A cotem-
porary remarks in substance, that the time is
not far distant when the South will send twenty
Senators to Congress and between eighty and
ninety Representatives. The interests Of the
races "being Identical their general views and
policy will harmonic beyond question, par

conduct exhibited by leading men of the South
