Observation-Disclosures Fairchild's
Proclamation.

Another year is drawing to close. It
as been fraught with blessings to the peo>
lie Of this State. We have enjoyed ex-
sinption from pestilence, from social con-
vuisions and from all widespread calami-
..es. Field and sky have ministered to a
sountlful harvest. and in every worthy
pursuit industry has been richly rewarded.
Under the benign influence of peace, the
e'iergles Of the people have been directed
- the development of vast resources, and
IN every hand have been multiplied the evil
dences Of unexampled growth and progress.
Not only in material things have we been
prospered during the past year, but an un-
unusual Improvement in our spiritual and
educational interests has added to the DOW
er OF the State and contributed to the eleva-
ton and happiness of the people. For
these, and for other and manifold blessings,
ought we TO set apart day on which to
unite IN expression of gratitude to
God
In recognition of this duty, / Lucius
Fairchild Governor of the State of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby recommend that TIL URS-
DAY THE 26TH DAY OF NOVEMBER
next, to be observed by the people of
this State, in the usual manner, as day
OF public Thanksgiving.

tieth day of October, in the year

The Radicals and Grant.

The following are the mea sures demand.
ed by WENDELL PHILLIPS, as condensed
from an article in the last Antt- Slarers
Standard
l. The arming of the negroes and the
carpet baggers Of the South, and the dis
arming of the Southern people.
2. A sweeping confscation of the landed
property of the Southern whites, and its
conveyance to the negroes.
8. An amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution prohibiting any State from deny
ing the right of suffrage and holding Office
to the negro race.
4. The impeachment and deposition of
President JOHNSON from his Office by the
end of this year.
/ PHILLIPS, speaking in the name of the
Radical faction, after laying down this pro.
gramme, gives General GRANT the FOLLOW
ing significant warning. He says:
Our many triumphs in the past have
been won under circumstances of adyere
opposition much more formidable than any
thing we are likely to encounter in the
near future. Opposition we are undoubt-
eddy to have, but now, as hitherto, logic
and right are on our side. We have but
to press urgently and perseveringiy our de-
mand, and our past successes are guaran
tee o. ultimate complete triumph. The
Times, the Post, the Herald, and the con-
servatives for whom they speak, already
exultant at what they deem the eclipse of
Radlcallsm, reckon without their host in
SURPRISING it to be within the power of
General Grant, if, as they all allege it to
be in bis disposition, to materially obstruct
the progress of Radical reformation in ma
tional politics. If the Republican party
consents to be the instrument of that be-
nehcent reformation, all will be we'll with
both the party and the country. If it re-
fuses, it will only be the worse fol- the par
ty"
The New York Times, on the contrary,
defines the position of the President elect
as follows:
" He is under no such relations to any
party as to fetter his judgment or seriously
hamper his action. He became the candi-
date of the Republicans rather because the
people at large demanded his nomination,
than because it was acceptable to the more
violent and radical of the Republican lead
ers. He has proved, as we supposed he
would, to be much stronger than his party,
and has received very strong support out.
side its organization. He will act with
Congress, without doubt, unless its action
should be utotent and over6earing."

A TOUCHING SCENE.-Last Saturday
a woman with an infant, whose husband
had been killed by the Indians somewhere
on the frontier, but who narrowly ESCAPED
with her own and chld's life, took the
cars at Lawrenceville for Perryville. The
desolation of her household by the savages,
the loss OF her husband, and travelling
alone without friends or money, had & led
her full OF sorrow, and she chung to the
loved child as the last link which bound her
to earth: How far can the cruelty of fate
60? Was 1t 10 enough hat She had lost
her home, her hus and and her household
goods? Bnt her babe must also be severed
from her, and she left alone, heartbroken
upon the earth. The ci lid died in her
arms upon the train. Her comforting clasp
could not save the young lie that was all
to her now. Excitement, fatigue, and the
nervous excitement which, from the moth.
sr, communicates its subtle action 10 the
chtld, caused the death of the iufant. The
passengers sympathized and freely offered
words OF coincidence to the distracted moth.
er: AT Perryvlle station she, with tn e
llfeless remains of the infant in her arms
left the cars and went iu search of her
friends, who live in the vicinity of that
village. This picture Of the mother, thus
bereaved, and bearing the beloved and
dead burden away, is one which, for its
sadness, cannot fail to touch every heart. =

Ahead of His Figures.

The San Francisco Bulletin has stor
illustrative of the speed with which the Pa
cifc Railroad is built
"A few days since merchant came down
to the city from the eastern side of the ST.
ezra Nevada. Having bought an extern
sive assortment of goods, he gave directions
that they should be shipped to the end Of
the Central Pacific Railroad, wherever that
should be, expecting to have considerable
job of teaming to fill up the gap between
the working end of the road and bis place
of business. His directions were carried
out to the letter. But, to his astonish-
ment, on returning he found that the goods
ordered had been carried about fifteen miles
beyond his residence.
1.-The Continental Railroad is now on its
travels. 1t is not safe to limit its progress.
There are probably twenty thousand days of
work performed on every secular day. If q
merchant sends goods to the end Of the
road, they will bring up somewhere this
side OF Salt Lake, probably in some little
ambitious town that he never heard of be-
fore his departure. Miles of road are Gre
ated, and even towns, in single day. The
dot on the map showing the working ter
minus of the road at the beginning of the
week, must be moved forward at the end
of the week to point representing from
eighteen to twenty miles of progress. Only
a few months will elapse before general
direction to send goods to the end OF the
road will insure their bringing up either at
Omaha or New York. 1t might be a safer
plan just now for the interior merchant to
drive stake before leaving home, and or
der his goods not to be sent beyond his
stake, lest he should have to chase them
into the wilderness.

THE SOUTHERN PRESS ON THE ELEC-
TIoN.-The Southern papers, as far as re-
ceived, do not express any surprise over
the clecsion of Grant. They say the re-
suit was generally expected. The Rich
mond Wing best illustrates their tone when
it says:
Having no choice but to submit, even
if we were otherwise disposed, and having
in better days been brought, by the disci-
pline of frequent disappointment, to the
indulgence OF only the most moderate hopes
in political affairs. it requires no effort to
abstain from the expression of unavailing
regrets. That General Grant is the choice
of majority of the real people of the
countryside only legitimate oisposers Of
power-cannot be claimed; and for this rea-
son, as we'll as because he is, by no act or
expression. fair representative of the pol
ICY and sentiment of the Radical party, We
do not see that his election affords them
occasion for any very triumphant demon
STATIONS. By sort Of self.repudia.ion,
and by putting victorious soldier beto re
the country instead of one of themselves,
they escaped defeat, and chat is all. What
may come of it We cannot foresee, but we
can await with composure."
