IMMENSE GRAIN MovEMENT.-The
Chicago Journal says: "Our eleva-
tors are still full to overlooking. The
quantity of grain now in store here
must make Chicago the envy of Paris.
The banks carrying this grain look
at it in different light, however,
They are anxious to have it shipped
forward. The speculative fever has
kept cereals at this point higher than
they really should be, no margin
being left after paying freitage.-
Milwaukee, which is second only TO
Chicago as a grain market, is in very
much the same condition as Chicago.
Her six large elevators are bursting
with wheat, as are our seventeen,
with total capacity of 1850, 900
bushels. In the face of this immense
surplus now on hand comes the fact
that the grain crop of the current
year is destined to exceed that of any
preceding year in quality, and per-
haps in quantity. Illinois, Iowa, Min
nesoota, Wisconsin, Indiana, and
once far away California, are almost
ready to pour their wealth Of bread
stuffs upon the markets of the world.

Tours, Sept. 22.-Information re-
ceived here destroys all hopes of
peace. Favre expressed a willing
ness to accede to any plan to satisfy
Prussia for-clecting a representa-
tive assembly, and thus obtaining
the voice of a duly accredited govern
ment to make terms of peace but
the King of Prussia's counselors posi-
lively refuse an armistice, and will
make peace only on condition of re-
tanning possession of the districts now
occupied, till the terms are ratified by
constituent assembly. The ques-
ton of terms was not reached. Favre
informs his associates in the govern
ment that the cession of Alsace will
certainly be the ultimatum from Prus-
STA, and he has little hope of success
in his mission.

Census of Wisconsin.

Inc Milwaukee Ne,os says that
"all the returns of the national CEN
sus for Wisconsin, with the excep-
ton OF three or four small counties,
have now been received at the Mar
shals office in Milwaukee. The en-
tire population of the State will foot
up at about 100000 The popula
tion OF the State in 1860 was 775,-
873. The increase in ten years is
therefore about 10000, or more
than thirty-five per cent. The pop
ulation Of the State in 1865 was $685.
1926. The increase in five years is
therefore $4,000, or about twenty
one per cent. The progress of Wis
consin in population since the first
census is shown by the following

The increase from 1910 to 1850
was over $50 per cent; from 1850 to
1000, 154 per cent. and from 1860
to 1870, 81 per cent. but the days
of large per centages in this particu-
lar are rapidly vanishing. Wiscon-
sin is no longer The West The
tide is moving on toward the setting
sun, and with one million population
and an age of thirty or forty years
since the white man began to drive
out the Indian, will soon rank Us
among the old States
When the census Of 1860 was taken
there were but ten States in the
Union-Illinois, Missouri, Indiana,
kentucky, Massachusetts,, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee
and Virginia-which could boast a
larger population than that of Wis
consin to-day. In the census OF
1870, Wisconsin will probably form
the twelfth in the order of popula-
ton"

Announcement : Temperance Candi'
date for the Assembly.

Mr.. EDITOR We wish to an
nounce to the voters of this district
that the Rev. G. p. Hackney is the
temperance candidate for Assembly
man in the coming election, and in
view of the important interests con-
nected with his election, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that every temper
ance man will give him unqualified
support.
A few words explanatory Of the
above announcement may appear
necessary The State Temperance
Convention held its session in Mil
waukee on the 9Th of September, and
after mature elaboration, unanimous
ly resolved to organize political
party, nominate their own candidate
and vote their own ticket. The
Good Templars by their ten dele
gates endorsed the action of the con-
vention. Each Assembly and Con-
gressional district were instructed TO
take Immediate action and prepare,
as thoroughly as possible, for the
Fall campaign. The Central Com
mittee of this district have been up
and doing, and in furtherance of the
great object before them, have nomi-
mated Mr.. Hackney for Assembly
man. They have made this selec-
ton from the fact that he is more
largely identified with the temper
ance cause than any other man in
the district, and it may with truth
be said of him that he is the great
apostle of temperance in the western
portion Of the State, and we feel that
it is safe to declare that East or
West, North or South there cannot
be.tound man more true to the cause,
more fearless and determined in car
rying out its interests. IL is very
proper and only fair, to say that this
position is not of Mr.. Hackney's own
seeking. The friends of humanity
have urged 1T upon him, under the
strong conviction that he is the only
man that can successfully withstand
the opposing influence. The urgen-
cy of the case demands the sacrifice,
and the influence of high sense OF
duty has caused him to give reluc-
tant consent to be put in nomination.
In conclusion, we say TO the citi-
zens Of the district, come up TO work
like men who understand their own
interests, who are lovers of sobriety
of purity and excellence, who are
willing and anxious to work for the
advancement and true development
of manhood, the growth and increase
of religious and moral influence, and
harmonious workingsiof social life
These are high objects and worthy
of our highest consideration, and un'
der such an influence we feel no hes
itation in urging you to come for
ward in the might Of your power
and sustain by your votes our brave
standard bearer. Look aloft and
note the character of the flag he car
ries. SEQ how pure and spotless are
its folds. No blood Of the suicide OF
tears of the widow and orphan de
face it. All its characteristics are
purity, and may it be our highest
aim to keep it pure. We again urge
you to buckle on your armor for thiI
test campaign and come to the polls
Come as the winds come when forests are rended.
Come as the waves come when naves are stranded"
By order of the Central Gem. G. CANNON,
Boscobel, Sept. p, 1870. Secretary.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR Con-
GREss.-The democracy of the
Third Congressional District assem-
bled in convention at Mineral Point
on Wednesday last to nominate a
candidate for Congress to oppose J..
Allen Barber. John Strachan, of
some noteriety as the salesman of
agricultural machinery, was the cho-
sen standard bearer Of the party.
1t is we'll but We are sorry for
John. The Mineral Point Tribune
says:
DEMOCRATIC NoMINATIoN.-A few
of the hard-head democrats Of this
Congressional DISCREET met in this
city yesterday afternoon, and after
considerable splurge, conferred the
empty honor Of a nomination for
Congress upon John Strachan, the
irrepressible machine man of this
city. He will do we'll enough to be
shaved by our Barber, but would be
in Congress about as much in place
as bull in china shop.
The Dodgeville Chronicle. in a.para-
graph on him, says:
"He will find this contest harder
than the Mccormick fight for then
there was money against him, but
now there is talent opposed to him.
His nomination will, however, ac-
complish the object intended it will
give the Democrats some one to
vote for, and if judiciously handled
will advertise John as the great
western machine agent, better than
any other method that could be
adopted"
Goodbye, John.
