THE CHRONICLE.
J. COWEN, Editor.
Thursday Morning, Sept, 18th.
The Chronicle’s First.
When Jaco ii Tai-scott, the originator o f
the lina-of-packet ships, long known as the
Taj/xcott line , spent his last shilling in fit
ting up a small brig to engage in the Ameii
can°trade, he called her Tin: VoxTCim ; and
when she put to sea on her first voyage, he
stood upon the shore anxiously watching
her as long as she could be seen ; then turn
ing towards his home, he said, “it is a ven
ture ; shcjcarrics my fortune and my hopes.”
And so it may be said of the Dodgcville
Chronic wt; it is a venture. We hope to
be able to carry on a printing concern and
run a newspaper at the County Seat of lowa
Comity, that will be of use to the people.
To do this we have made a good deal of a
venture we have hope,—still our venture
may be a'failurc—our hope may be blighted.
We have tried to guess some at public sen
timent, public sentiment has tried to guess
some at us;’ some have confidence in us,
some are shy, and then again there aie some
who have no very warm sympathy towards
us, and very likely would rather not see us
round. Well, we have, not calculated on
every body’s good will, it would be ridiculous
to do so, and if we did we should surely be
disappointed; there has never been a news
paper in this world, that, in all particul.us,-
suited every body; there never will be while
.secesh exist; when scccsh is all quashed we
don’t know how things will be. Gur calcu
lation is to go on our way as best we can,
hewing our own chips, and let them scatter,
they may hit someone while scattering, it
is not the intention to hurt very bad, unless
deserving, but the chips will fly, our
object and aim is to hew on and let the peo
ple look out for the chips; wo will try to
keep good natured while hewing. Soft soap
may be good, we arc not skilled in its use,
we judge that chip hewing is more our con
stitution tendency than sott soap making
we shall, for the most part, leave the soap
business to others, while we attend to the
hewing of chips; and having said this, the
CimoNici.K ventures among the people. If
is a venture —a venture for life or death.
Secesh will find little sympathy, and rogues
little pity in its columns. The Gonstitutoin
and the laws it will do its best to sustain,
and ninnyism every where it will abhor, and,
if die it must, it will not die without a strug
gle. It will have the satisfaction of one
bio- kick and a scream before it dies.
o I
The Battle - How it Goes.
On Tuesday, (the 16th inst.,) quite a lit
tle stir was created in our streets, by the
news brought in by the papers]'concerning
great fighting, and great conquering having
been accomplished by the Federal forces
over the Rebel army in Maryland a day or
two ago. This news was the more exciting
in consequence of a murmur being among
us that the rebels, after having
scooped the valleys of Maryland of vast quan
tities of supplies, had ret urned safly across
the Potomac laden with booty, without en
countering little or no opposition. The
news of the lighting and the victories seem
ed to lift a burden off pretty much every
man's heart, and the news ran round rap
pidly how McCi.eu.an had whipped them —
how Reno had bravely fought and fell—how
Kkasklin had done noble deeds in bearing
down on the Rebel army's right wing, ami
crushed the foe, an 1 how 16,000 of the secesh
are destroyed. Perhaps this report, after
all, needs to he received with some caution,
wo wait for further confirmation of this
news.
I.ATK.
The good news of yesterday is confirmed
to-day. The rebels arc being routed at all
points in Maryland, and their armies scatter
ed and sadly demoralized, and are closely
pursued by the I uion troops.. The loss on
the part of the rebels is said to he l-">,000.
'Jen. Lee,(Rehell reported wounded, and
Rebel Gen. Oakland, is reported killed.
All the Onion troops engaged in those fights,
are reported as having fought most heroic.
Great rejoicings in Philadelphia, in conse*
quencc of these victories, and should these
reports hold good, the rebels will have learned
by this time, that they have a monster by
the heard, that threatens to destroy them.
Bluster.
We find some of our exchanges making
quite a blow about a Democratic State Con
vention, held in Milwaukee on the fid inst.,
as if these were times for political partisans
to explode hags of gas, about party des
titutions and party quibbles, instead of put
ting forth all their might to save the nation
from becoming a wreck. It might as well
enter into the heads of mighty politicians of
every stripe, that it is not by big speeches
hut by hard knocks, that this Government
is to be saved, if saved it be, and, instead of
bluster and bombast, to pitch in and shoot
bullets through the head and heart of that
thing that threatens the nation’s destruc
tion. Annihilate secession, gentlemen, and
then make majestic speeches, and we shall
he in better humor to hear yo.

The Indian Massacre in Minnesota.
The Portage Register publishes the
following extract from a private letter,
dated St Peter, August 27th :
New Ulm—as large as Portage—is
burned and every person kll \ ed o '\ d “Jf"
away. All the buildings at FortKid o ely,
except one stone one, have been burned,
and the soldiers have fought against the
Indians for eight days,; and must soon
o-ive out unless relieved. About 1-00
troops started from here to go up there
last night—lo miles—and some more
left this morning. All the information
I can give you about my family, is, uiy
wife and daughters were prisoners m the
hands of the Indians, and arc so still,
unless they are killed. My third son,
Radnor, I saw killed by tbc Indians and
scalped. My second son, Ezmen, I have
no knowledge of, except a mere rumor
that he escaped to the fort and is there
now with the rest in distress. My oldest
on, Chalon, my youngest son, Herman,
and myself are here. We escaped to
gether, and after running about 80 miles
through the prairie grass, with nothing
on except our shirts, in 28 we
reached a settlement on the little Crow
river, and have \yorked our way round to
this point, where I am waiting to get
well. I cut my feet and legs all up with
the prairie grass, so that I have not heon
able to walk since. This affair took place
on Monday the 18th inst., commencing
about 0 o’clock, A. M. I saw Jeniel
Wedge killed, and Mr. White’s oldest
son. White was away himself; and thus
escaped. He is here now; his wife and
daughter are with the Indians, if alive.
Shall the Soldiers Vote? — The
Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Times,
papers that seldom agree npou aiiy sub
ject, unite in urging the extension of the
right of suffrage to the volunteer soldiers
who may ho in the service on election
day. These papers arc the leading jour
nals of their respective parties in Illi
nois.
Gov. Salomon has very happily pre
sented the subject in his message, where
he calls attention to the rule adopted by
the "War Department, that those who
vote must fight, and suggests that those
who fight should also vote.
An Indian War in New Mexico. —
A gentleman arrived from New iMcxico
reports that the Indian troubles arc not
serious. The A pachas and Navajocs
are waging a war of hundreds of thous
ands of cattle and sheep, besides a very
considerable destruction of life. This
war is supposed to be incited by the
rebels, although the Indians have never
been thoroughly friendly. Kit Carson
is in the field at the head of anew regi
mens, and it is believed that he will be
able to check the savages.
ITo for the Woods.—Green Ginseng
is worth eight cents per pound, cash, in
tills market. We saw a “digger” bn
T csday evening last, coming into town
with a sack on his shoulder, containing
thirty pounds, the result ofa day s labour.
The root is very abundant in lie woods
in this vicinity, and any industrious man
or boy can make good wages. Don't bo
afraid the market will be overstocked—
the cash is ready for any quantity that
may be offered. —Chat field Democrat.

Webster was one of the first to raise a
regiment of troops in 1861, and has ever
since been in service.

LATEST NEWS.
Philadelphia, Sept. 11. —Mayor Hen
ry issued the following address to the
citizens at a late hour to-night:
The Governor has addressed to me
the following dispatch;
“We have reliable information this
evening that the rebel Generals have
moved their entire army from h rederick
to Cumberland Valley, and their desti
nation is now Harrisburg and I hiladel
phia. We need every available man
immediately. Stir up your population
to-night, form them into companies and
send°us 20,000 to-morrow. No time
can bo lost in massing a force on the
Susquehanna to defend the State and
your city.”
The correspondents of the morning
papers from Washington have the fol
lowing :
In the skirmish of Tuesday, harns
worth’s Illinois cavalry charged and
broke two rebel regiments of horse, and
took Poolsville for the third time at
