A Few Plain Statements Honestly
Made.
The Dodgeville Chronicle is in
definately suspended from this date and
this we have been compelled to do, not
because wo disliked Dodgeville as a lo
cation ; —not because we have any con
troversy with any of the Dodgeville
people ; —not because we disliked the
business of issuing a secular paper;—
for no cause in the world other than
that of being unable to sustain our
selves and keep out of debt, and there
arc few things on this earth that we
loathe more than being in debt; and
running the printing office in Dodgeville
has been running us in debt every day
for the last three months or more; And
this any one can see when we make an
honest statement of facts. It will take
at least the labor of two pretty smart
boys to set up the type for the Chron
icle, full size each week ; their labor
is certainly worth six dollars, paper for
live hundred copies will cost at least
two dollars and fifty cents, in fact, for
(he last few weeks, it has cost four dol
lars at the very lowest; light and fire
costs at least one dollar and twenty-five
cents a week ; rent of room costs one
dollar and twenty-five cents a week ; in
cidental expenses costs fifty cents a
week ; here, then, we have an aggregate
of thirteen dollars a week leaving not
one cent for any labor the editor may
expend. To meet this outlay wo have
not averaged more than six dollars on
the Chronicle account,for the last four
or five months. The list of subscribers
have increased some fifty in the time
but the white paper costs all that the
subscription amounts to, or very near it.
Had we an independent income of two
thousand dollars a year, we might have
managed to have stood tins a while, but
we have not and must succumb. We
and n't blame any one, nor arc we sure
that any blame is attachable to any one.
There is a printing business of some
two thous and dollars a year connected
with the affairs of lowa Cos. for the last
two years ah the county business payable
in county orders done in this office
amounts to the respectable sum ot one
hundred and live dollars; mind you,
this is for two years; the printing has been
done elsewhere. But we do not blame
any one, officers have a right to have
their work done where they please and
as they please. We have offered to do
the county work or a part oi the coun
tv’work as cheap and as well as it can be
done elsewhere. o have offered to
take part of the work and do it as cheap
and its well as at any other printing
concern in the county, No! we must
not have it; we don’t blame any
one. Our office is furnished with hun
dreds of dollars worth of new type, and
for anything we have heard to the con
trary, what has been done at this office
has been satisfactorily done, still the
Chronicle office located at the county
seat must not be patronized. Well,gen
tlemen, we don't blame you, nor can
you blame us for moving away where
we can at any rate, carry on a little
printing on our own hook at less ex
pense than we can do it at Dodgeville.
If you cannot believe this statement,
which is a true one however, look over
the files of the county papers and com
pare the county business done in them
with the county business done in the
Advocate that was, and the Chronicle
that is, and see for yourselves.
There are men in Dodgeville who do
not relish the idea of being without a
press and a paper iu the place, and per
haps it is the only county seat in the
world, especially in this American
world, where a press has to stop and a
paper fail because the county, nor the
business people in the place will not
support it, but so it is here, these are
the facts. Perhaps the times will
change in this particular in reference to
Dodgeville sometime, but the present
managers of this affair cannot wait and
run in debt while waiting for that
good time to come. Someone may
come, perhaps will come, and very
likely will succeed better. The
Dodgeville Chronicle is suspended;
it ceases to act —to live for the present;
there are many dry eyes. "W hen the
County Scat of lowa County is prepared
' to sustain a paper issued there, then
DODGEVILLE, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1863.
p’ease let us know and we may think
about trying again.
The Chronicle is suspended for the
present.
Mootings of Compromise/
Some of the newspapers of the north
| are mooting the idea of making some
kind of compromise arrangements with
the South, so as to put a stop to the war
frenzy that has been blustering so loud
and doing so little, for the last two years.
And really, it would seem that the soon- j
cr some arrangements can be gotten at |
i to have peace, the better it will be, if j
the next two years fighting, provided I
the fighting continues, does not do any
more in the way of settling who and what
shall rule, than the last two years have.
If ever there has been a sham fight on
this earth, this American squabble, es
pecially on the part of the Union, has
been a sham, a sham that has cost some
thing to be sure, — cost a good deal in
fact, and so much the more serious is
the sham. Better stop altogether than
sham it any longer, and if the heroism
of Union soldiers cannot be put into any
other kind of action than a series of
shams, the sooner this burlesque on con
ducting a war in earnest ceases, the bet
ter. It is mooted or indicated that the
South or session, is willing and waiting
to shake hands—to be friends—to re-join
the Union and be decent, and move in
harmony; especially do the Northern
Democracy profess to indulge such no
tions. In this we rather judge that the
Democracy of the North is somewhat
misled. The Democracy of the South
has little sympathy with or fellowship
in the Democracy of the North, only so
far as it can make it. a sort of whipper
in, and use it as (he monkey used the
cat’s paw, to pull the chesnuts out of
the fire. If the Northern Democracy
is willing to be the cat’s paw-to South
ern aristocratic Democracy, then, indeed,
the South may be willing to throw the
mantle of Southern chivalry over Nor
thern Democracy, and grant it a protec
tion under its shadow but it will claim
the right to rule, and not only rule but
domineer, and the mudsill Democracy
of the North must be under the thumb
of the chivalrous Democracy of the
South, and do its bidding. It is easy
to talk of equality, but the equality that
aristocratic Democracy claims is the
equality of being the head and dictating
to the body politic, without question.
a letter sent by a young
man who, a year or two since lived in the
neighborhood of Laxey, dated Dnyls
ford, August 21st. 1862, the follow
ing extracts are taken :
“Dear Sir : — I suppose you wonder
that I have not written sooner, but re
ally I am so much out of heart about
this country, since I came to it, that I
have no courage to write. I don’t won
der that England has been sending
transports to this place; I wish I had
stayed in America, but I hope to see it
again. There is a little gold here, but,
as the man said, it is ‘more cry than
wool.’
This is our winter here, and we have
not had a dry week since May until this
week. I have never seen so much mud
in all my life. This is a little town in
the woods ; it contains a Presbyterian,
a Wesleyan, a Primitive and a Catholic
church. Everything is very dear here.
Butter and eggs, especially butter, 2s
Gd per pound, and eggs are 3s per dozen,
English money.
I would not advise any one to come
here. Work is scarcer here than ever I
knew it in Wisconsin. I have heard
people say that there was no snow here.
I saw a good deal of snow, and when I
was sick there was a crust of ice on the
pitcher at my bed-side.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5 th.—Commander
Bankhead in an official report of the
loss of the Monitor, says 4 officers and
12 men are missing, lie expresses the
opinion that the Monitor sprung aleak
in the forward part where the hull joins
to the armor, caused bvthe heavy spread
as she came down in tlhe sea. She sunk
in 45 fathoms of water.
Another account says those lost re
fused to come down from the turret, be
ing afraid of being washed away.
The Murder of Taylor in Kenosha
County.
We mentioned in Friday's paper, that
we did not think it best to publish the
name of the murderer of Taylor, in Ke
nosha comity. Since then we have been
requested to make it public. His true
name is David Shearer, and he is a son
I of James Shearer, who is a respectable
j farmer, living two or three miles from
| Bassett’s Station, on the Kenosha &
Rockford Railroad, about 23 miles from
Kenosha, in the town af Randall.
The old gentleman is convinced and
says that his son committed the murder,
and he feels greatly depressed on ac
count of it.
The murderer kept a saloon in the
lower part of East Water Street, about
a ye nr ago, and took out his license un
der the name of St. John. lie has also
borne the name at times of David Car
ter. He has been more or less in the
city for the past 18 months, and has
been generally regarded as a thief and
a rascal on general principles.
He is abaut 35 years of age, about 5
feet 8 inches in height, weighs about
170 pounds, is straight and square built,
is very dark complexioned, with black
hair with a very little gray in it, has one
stiff knee, walks lame, might be taken
for a mulatto, and had black whiskers
when he committed the deed.
Taylor was murdered on the night of
the 10th nit. He and Shearer left the
city together, and stopped at Kenosha,
whence they went to the old man Shoar
cr's house. Near the house are twin
lakes, one of which is called Lake Eliz
abeth, and Taylor and young Sheare
started out at night with a pair of skates
and an ax, to ga skating and fishing on
this lake.
The ax, Shearer said he would take
along to cut a hole in the ice, so that he
could fish through it. The skates they
borrowed of the boys at Shearer’s. Late
that night young Shearer returned, and
reported that Taylor had gone off on the
railroad to Memphis.
The murderer left his father’s house
the next day and wint to llacine, where
he stayed all night at the boarding sa
loon of Mr. Stillman.
The latter's place was full, and so
Stillman told Shearer that he could
sleep with him, which offer he accepted.
The murderer had a revolver fully load
ed with him, but Stillman suspected
nothing, and of course little dreamed
that he was sleeping with murder
er.
The assassin was here in this city last
Monday night, and it is thought that
he will yet be taken. 11 is suggestedthat
the Governor should offer quite a reward
ft r the arrest of the murderer,
as the friends of Taylor cannot
afford it. Shearer has been in sev
eral places about the State from time to
time, and will be remembered by many.
He once lived in Fonddu Lac. Officers
are now after him.
Taylor's body was thrust under the
ice after the deed was done, and when
the ice broke up it came to the surface.
His head was terribly battered and bro
ken, apparently with the butt of the
axe. Shearer has been plotting the
murder for a long t ime, lie Induced
Taylor to raise all the money he could
and then with it they started to go and
purchase army horses.

I Fayetteville, Ark., Jan. I.—Rebel
newspapers captured at Van Buren,
Aark., admit the loss of the rebels in
killed and wounded at the battle at
Brane Grove to be 4,000. The entire
telegraphic correspondence of Gan.
Hindman was taken. It contains much
valuable information, and will be for
warded to the War Department.
The 'destitution of the rebel array is
most pitiable. Four thousand of Hind
man’s army arc without shoes.
The loss to the citizens by the re
cent raid amounts to over half a million
dollars.
The rebels arc dispersing in every
direction.
It is reported that the rebels have
met with a heavy loss at Arkadelphia, |
fifty miles southwest of Little lloek.
Gen. Schofield has assumed command
of the army of the frontier.
St. Louis, Jan. 3.—Gen. Blunt tele
graphs from Van Buren, Ark., on the
30th ult., that the rebels retreated dur
ing the night towards Arkadelphia,
abandoning about sixty wounded rebels
at Fort Smith, whom they left with in
structions to take care of themselves.
Gen. Blunt also reports that Col. Phil
ips, whom be bad sent into the Indian
Territory with 1,200 men, has driven
the rebel forces of Cols. Coffee and
Stanwaithe, across the Arkansas River
at Fort Gibson, and destroyed the rebel
fortifications, barracks and commissary
buildings, at Fort Davis. Col. Mc-
Intosh, commander of the rebel Creeks
and Choektaws, has expressed a desire
to lay down their arms and return to
the allegiance of our Government.
Headquarters 4th Army Corps
Dept. Cumberland —In Front of Mur
freesborough Jan. 3. To 11. W.llallcck:
—On the 2Gth of December we marched
from Nashville in three columns; Gen.
McCook by the Nolansvillc Dike, Gen.
Thomas, from his encampment on the
Fran kl in Dike, by the Wilson pike, and
Gen. Crittenden on the main Murfrecs
borough pike. Our left and centre met
with a strong resistance, such as the na
ture of the country permitted ; the roll
ing or hilly routes, skirted by cedar
thickets and farms, intersecte by small
streams with rocky and bluffy banks,
forming serious obstacles.
Qt'ii. McCook drove Gen. lliudv_v/o
corps about a mile and a half from No
lansville, and occupied the place. Gen.
Crittenden reached within a mile and a
halfe of Lavcrgne. Gen. Thomas reach
ed Wilson’s pike, meeting with no op
position.
On the 27th Gen. McCook drove Gen.
Hardee from Nolansvillc and pushed a
reconnoitering division six miles toward
Shelbyville, which found that Gen. Har
dee had retreated towards Murfrees
borough.
Gen. Crittenden fought and drove the
enemy before him, occupying the line
of Stuart’s Creek, and capturing some
prisoners with slight loss.
Gen. Thomas occupied the vicinity of
Nolansvillc, where he was partially sur
prised, thrown into confusion and driv
en back.
Gen. Sheridan’s division had repuls
ed the enemy four times and had pro
tected the flank of the centre, which had
not held its own hut advanced until this
untoward event which compelled me to
retain the left wing to support the right
until it should bo rallied and assume a
new position.
On the first the rebels opened by an
attack on us and were again repulsed.
On the 2d there was skirmishing along
the front, with threats of an attack, un
til 3 o’clock P. M., when the enemy ad
vanced. I threw a small division across
Stone river to occupy the rising ground
there, and while reconnoitering the
ground occupied by this Division, which
had no artillery, I saw a heavy force
coming from the woods and advancing
in line of battle, these lines deep. They
drove our little division before them af
ter a sharp conflict, in which they lost
70 or 80 killed and 376 wounded. They
were finally repulsed by Gen. Negleys
division, and the remaining troops of
left wing of Gen. Morton’s Pioneer brig
ade fled far over the field and beyond
their entrenchments, their officers rally
ing them with great difficulty. We
occupied the ground with the ieit about
night.
The lines were completed at 4 o’clock
on Monday. The third day was spent
in bringing up and distributing provis
ions and ammunition. It has been rain
ing very heavy.
Camp near Murfrcesborough, Jan. 4.
—To Moj. Gen. Ualleck :—I add the
following to my dispatch of last evening;
I have to announce that the enemy are
in full retreat. They left last night.
The rain having raised the river, and
the bridge across it between the left
wing and centre being incomplete, I
deemed it prudent to withdraw that wing
during the night. This occupied my
time till four o’clock, and fatigued the
troops.
The commencement of the retreat was
known to me at 7 o'clock this morning.
Our ammunition train arrived during
the night. To-day was occupied in dis
tributing ammunition, burying the dead
and collecting arms from the field of
battle. Pursuit was commenced by the
centre, the two leading brigades arriv
ing at the stone river this evening.—
The railroad bridge was saved, but in
what condition is not known. We shall
occupy the town and push the pursuit
to-morrow.
Our medical director estimates the
wounded in the hospital at 5,500 and
our dead at 1,000.
We have to deplore the loss of Lieut.
Col. Garsehe, whose capacity and gen
tlemanly deportment has already en
deared him to all the officers of this com
mand, and whose gallantry on the field
of battle excited the admiration of
all.
New York. Jan. G. —The Times has
the following dispatch: Nashville, Jan.
5. —From persons arriving from the
battlefield, I learn that on Saturday
night, during the storm, the rebels at
tacked our men in their rifle pits along
the whole line. There was heavy fight
ing in the centre. We drove the ene
my across Stone River. The 77th
Pennsylvania first carried the point.
On Sunday morning Stanley’s brigade
entered Murlsesboro. The town is in
jured by shells. Gen. Sill’s body was
at the court house. The rebels buried
their own dead and our officers. There
has been gret loss of confederate life.
V e lose about 9,500 in killed and wound
ed, and about 5,000 prisoners. The
enemy retreated to Tullahoraa.
Our forces are terribly scattered.
Out of 13G colonels engaged, we lost 19
killed.
