Thursday Morning, Nov. 19.
Prosperity of lowa County.
The Supervisors of the County were in
session last week, and after auditing and al
lowing all righteous bills, there is left in the
County Treasury the snug little sura of
a!>out, three thousand dollars over and above
all claims on the County. We also un
jderstand that our County taxes, for th
:present year arc considerably below whaf
■ they were last year. There are not man’,
I Counties in the State of Wisconsin can
show as clean a record these war times as
Old fowa‘.
Leased Cotton* Plantation*.?. —Adjn
tant Geri. Thomas, makes a very able re
port to the department at Washington ofth<
great success attending the leasing ofaban
doned cotton plantations along the Miss
issippi river to contrabands and others.—
The trial was made under great disadvan
tages, in an enemy’s country, nearly tw<
months out of season, followed by the rebel
attack on Milliken’s Bcrtd during the sum
mer, causing some of the lessees to leave,
and the fields to grow up to weeds <Src.—
The whole thing was done without any ex
pense to the government, the contrabands
supporting themselves and their families.
The number of bales of cotton raised on
these plantations will not' much, if any, fall
short of 8,000 giving to the Govern
ment the sura of $15,000 as a revenue. The
lesees will also pay to the Quartermaster’s
Department, for mules, utensils, &c , fur
nished or found on the place, some SIOO,-
000. The charge, in lieu of rent, is two
dollars per bale, making $16,908. The
Government’s share on some plantations
abandoned by lessees may sell for one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
Many of these plantations were leased to
white men, thus showing that cotton can be
grown by free labor, white as well as black,
successfully under favorable circumstances.
BST’The importance of the position
acquired by our forces on Lookout
Mountain, is shown by a correspondent
of the Memphis Appeal, a Rebel organ.
In a letter written when it was hold by
the Rebels, he said, “The question
which now occurs, is ; At what point ia
Roseorans likely to develop his inten
tions? I believe that It will be on the
left of our line and for the following
reason: Lookout Mountain, which is
now in our possession, is essential to the
Federal commander, if he has determin
ed to hold Chattanooga as a base of fur
ther operations, as Nashville, Murfrees
boro or Bridgeport, for the simple rea
son that it commands the railroad,
contains several important passes, and
it is a standing threat over Chattanooga.
Once possessed by the enemy it relieves
Hieir wagon trains, enables them to pro
vision their army and gives them the
most valuable position for offense or de
fense in this entire region,”
Our Relations With England.
The speech of Sir Roundell Palmer,
Attorney General of England, will com
mand attention as an official expression
of the policy of the British Govern
ment. lie holds that America lias a
right to expect neutrality from Eng
land and a strict compliance with inter
national law. The recognition of the
rebel States as belligerents was justifi
able, for certainly for the time being
they are carrying on a war for them
selves and have a Government. If they
were not belligerents, the blockade
could not be maintained. But their
independence cannot be recognized, for
the}’ have not yet established it. In
terference at present would not benefit
the South, and would justly exasperate
the North. When the Northern armies
were withdrawn, then it would be time
for recognition. There had been no
gross or manifest injustice showed to
British shipping by the war vessels of
the United States, and the latter Gov
ernment had not asserted the laws of
war more strictly than England. The
British Government had incurred some
obloquy by interfering with influential
citizens who wished to help the South,
hut it would rather incur obloquy or
even relinquish office than abrogate the
Policy it had itself marked out and
fritter away time in endeavoring to dis
turb tb.e blockade. He then showed
the difference between lawml trade with
belligerents and the fitting out of armed
vessels, and thus hazarding the preser
vation of neutrality. Alluding to the
case of the Alabama , he said that Gov
ernment was not to be blamed for every
evasion of the law, if it desired and
tried to do right. The Government
desired to maintain peace, but only on
honorable terms. The tone of the
speech was eminently pacific, and its
hearers—it was delivered to the voters
pt Richmond. England—endorsed its
e ntiipcui* by pledging their support t<
the Uoveruuient. It has, however, made

The State Elections.
EXTRACTS FROM DEMOCRATIC PAPERS.
First. —The Milwaukee See-Bote
a German paper of Milwaukee, gives
vent to its feelings in the following
doleful strains ;—which has been trans
lated into English :
Lost —The longer the leading article
we would have written te-day, by so
much the shorter is the leading article
we will write to-day, and that is : Lost\
In this world is contained all we have
to sav. Wisconsin is lost.— lllinois .
lost —Michigan , lost —aye, Mew YbrJe,
the last bulwark of popular freedom, is
lost. The sun shone yesterday wonder
fully fair from the blue heaven—but it
shone to us not the sun of AusterVtz—
it was the sun of Waterloo ! It avails
not now to enquire ’.nto the causes which
have brought about this overthrow—
our cause lost. A people that can
sanct^ on a t the ballot-box the subversion
r their constitution,,and the annihila
tion of personal liberty — such a people
does not deserve to he free —and more
over will not he free. ‘All things have
heir course,’ says Socrates ; ‘and all,’
-ays Seneca, the Roman Philosopher,
all things go more quickly downwards
than they went upwards.’ - ’
Next comes the La Crosse Democrat ,
whose edi tor leads off in the following
peculiarly Brickish style :
GONE —GONE —CONE!
Good bye, and if forever, fire thee
well ! We have as a met the en
emy —surrounded them from the centre
and shall consider ourselves prisoners of
war. The Democratic party of Wiscon
sin has died again. And hero is the
way it looks to us.
FOUND DEAD.
On the morning of November 4th, one
thousand eigh hundred and sixty-three
years after Christ —five thousand eight
hundred and thirty-seven years after
Adam, the Democratic party of Wis
consin was found apparently dead in the
wilderness, or at least so badly wound
ed as to fail recognition. It was well
laid out and found nicely wrapped up in
the Ryan Address, with E. G. Ryan
himself sitting at the head of the corpse
waving his head and chanting hysterical
ly a funeral dirge.
We have been cleaned—routed foot
horse and artillery. The adoption of
the Ryan Address was more than the
party could bear. It was too long—it
was too full of words which could be
doubly construed. It has cost us an
election, and henceforth and forever we
trust there will he no more foolish ex
perimenting. That address never will
go down. It is so long people will not
read it. Rich men care not to read it
the poor man has not time to read it.
Had the convention at Madison pitched
Ryan’s enigma out of the window and
adopted a set of resolutions like the fol
lowing :
Resolved , That this country is in
trouble.
Resolved , That tee are the bully hoys
to help her out.
The Democratic ticket would have
gone through whooping. But no. That
address was adopted. The convention
would have adopted no other had it
been offered by Jesus Christ himself.—
A majority of the delegates went to
Madison to enforce it on the people —
they didthe job and the result is known.
Verily “Brick” is a philosopher.
Then follows the Watertown Demo
crat in the following cold-shoulder style
towards the Ryan Address:
The Democracy are whipped—beaten
in Wisconsin, Now York, Minnesota,
and everywhere ehe, as matters now
appear. We might as well give the
whole concern up at once, and let the
Republicans have their own wav and
do.
Most of the papers and politicians are
very wise just now—all knew it would
be so—arc not at all disappointed. How
easy it is to talk after events have solv-.
ed the problem and settled the question.
Anew start in the right direction,
would have a very powerful influence
in raising the defeated Democracy from
prostration to triumph. Nothing else
can. Evidently the efficacy of the
Ryan Address has been demonstrated.
It is good to get beat on, and that is
all it is good for. Given , that plat
form and 15,0t10 majority. Given the
country, Constitution, Union and the
suppression of the rebellion and 15.000
majority. That is the difference.
We nad an admirable ticket, but
something more is indcspensable tosuc
cess, in times like these, besides un
exceptionable candidates. Thousands
of Democrats went for the men in spite
of the platform, and thousands more re
fused to go for either on account of the
latter. There is the truth in a small
compass. Those interested can reflect
on it at their leisure.
We never liked the scheme of accept
ing such a document as the IWan Ad
dress as the basis of political action, or
the foundation of political principles.—
Being neither an adequate, fit or sound
test-book for anybody except, perhaps,
its author, we have neither adopted nor
advocated it. Whether right or wrong,
and we do not either approve or con
demn the whole of it, it teas a suicidal
blunder to put it foncard as the senti
ment of a party devoted to the country.
The ccnsequeuse is an overwhelming
defeat when victory might have crown
ed onr effort*! W? it ip not ton
late to listen to the lessons of experi
ence.
Our neighbor of the Darlington In
dependent thus gives vent to his feelings
on the turn matters have taken down
there in Old Lafayette. From a Demo
cratic majority last election of near five
hundred, she now gives at least fifty
majority for the Union ticket.
THE COUNTY ELECTION.
The Democratic party have always
been a mirthful party, but with all their
* e vity of character and happy deport
ment, they cannot take the present
county eletion as a joke, but like Mr.
Lincoln’s big boy, who was prostrated
by tripping his toe, we are too big to cry
and ; t hurts too bad to laugh. The idea
that old La Fayette with all her glori
ous memories of splendid victories should
take such a freak, entirely banishes the
idea of certainty in white man.
This town has frequently given lar
ger Republican majorities than the pres
ent, but Benton, New Diggings and
Shulisburg were scarcely ever before
guilty of doing so unworthily. Mr.
Hayden, in the Southern District, beats
Mr. Scales, handsomely. Warden beats
Murphy about fifty, and unless the sol
diers come to the rescue, Mr. Hall is
still heading for Darragh’s. Dr. Lee
is School Superintendent, although War
den says he is sorry Dickinson was not
nominated. The heavy rain on the day
after election has raised the tributaries
of Salt River, giving easy and safe navi
gation up that stream. The last we
knew anything, a Republican wras ask
ing us to give him ten cents to buy
powder with to celebrate our defeat —
another joke we could not appreciate.
Slavery the Rebellion.
No impartial observer can fail to see
that slavery is the root, and life, and soul
of this rebellion. If the rebellion could
be suppressed to-morrow and slavery pre
served, we should have the planted seed
and quick growing harvest of another re
bellion. For slavery is a perpetual out
rage upon all right —an open defiance of
all law. It meets humanity at every
righteous enactment, and conti ivenes it.
And it substitutes, for the hun.ane pre
cepts of love and good will, the law of
brute force. Not a sin is denounced in
the decalogue, not a crime is hedged
against by human enactments) which is
not embodied in the law and practice of
Slavery. How then, can Slavery, de
nying and defying the very object of
government-justice and right between
man and man—and warring upon all the
principle:, of a free government, be loy
al to that government ? The very es
sence of slavcholding is to rule, not to
be ruled —to command not to obey. —
How then can the slaveholders be the
loyal and obedient subjects of a free and
equal government? They never have
been, and the moment they could not
rule. they rebelled. They never will
be, —this they themselves affirm —and
the very nature and practice of slave
holding forbids it. They never can be,
for every slaveholder is a despot at heart,
and no despot can be the willing sub
ject of just and equal laws, nor the loy
al citizen of a free Republic. Hence
the determined slaveholders of this coun
try are all rebels to our free Constitu
tion and government —every oneof them.
And this is a war —pure and simple—
between Slavery and Aristocracy and
Democracy. And in waging this war
the Aristocracy —the Slaveholders —
make use of their chattle slaves in the
South, and their political slaves —the
copperheads—in the North. And the
copperheads object to the government’s
using, either thorn or their allies —the
slaves—in conquering their rebellious
masters. The slaves having become
tired of the rebels, are ready io volun
teer to defend the government. But
the copperheads, from love to their
southern masters, refusing to aid the
government, have to be conscripted and
compelled to do their duty.
Look all over the rebel South and
through the border Slave States, and you
will find the prevalance and strength of
rebel sentiments uniformly proportioned
to the prevalence and strength of slavery.
Every blow, therefore, struck at slavery
is a blow struck at the vitals of the re
bellion. And every effort to shield and
preserve slavery—as has been done by
the President in excepting the border
slave states for the Emancipation Proc
lamation, and in his recent siding with
the pro-slavery party, and continuing
the pro-slavery rule in Missouri—weak
ens the Union cause and strengthens the
rebels.
Let no loyal man hope to end the re
bellion. without putting an end to slav
ery. For slavery is the rebellion, and
the rebellion is nothing but a gigantic
and organized effort of the slave power
to subject the government to its rule,
and make slavery universal and perpetu
al. And in waging this war upon a
free government, slavery but obeys the
law of its being. And when the gov
ernment and T-oople of the North learn
and fully appreciate this truth—and
they are fast learning, but have not yet
learned it—the rebellion will hare short
thriving, for the rebellion and slavery
will perish together and have a common
sepulcher. And how many more dis
asters are needed to teach us this truth,
will depend on the slowness of our hearts
to believe and to learn. —Daily Life.
A Democratic exchange comes to us
with a notice that “Truth” is crowded out
of this issue. This is almost as bad as the
up country editor who said : “For the evil
rfiVef* n fevirating drink*, onr in^vl<*.‘.
Late News.
Our readers must excuse us this week for
lack of ne.ws, next we shall try and make
up a digest of everything of interest. As
it is, war matters are progressing favorably
in all quarters.
The Canadian plot is a failure—four block
ade runners have been captured, one having
on board £0,099 Enfield rifles, the others
were loaded with vrluable assotted cargoes.
There does not appear to be anything
particularly new transpiring in the Potomac
army.
The Bank’s expedition had arrived at
Brownsville, on the Bio Grande, the rebels
evacuating and setting it on fire, but our
forces put it out, fighting the rebels in the
streets at the same time.
There is nothing new from Chattanooga,
but another fight is expected there again
soon.
At Charleston matters remain about the
same.
A band of about 5,000 Unionists have
made their escape from the mountains of
Georgia ard N. Carolina into Tennessee and
joined the Union army. They fought their
way out, whipping the rebels in two or three
engagements
The Radicals arc victorious in Mis
souri, Grant/ Brown of the Mo. Democrat ,
and—Henderson, Emancipation candidates
being elected to the U. S. Senate, fram that
State.
The Draft at Prairie du Chier> on
Monday, passed off without any trouble or
undue excitement. In another column we
publish the names of those drafted in this
county.
News, Items etc.
Lancaster, the County Seat of Grant
County, has furnished 190 men for the war
since the rebels fired the first gun on Sum
ter.
The Platteville folks are just now engag
ed in survej’ing the route for the contem
plated railroad from that place to the Mis
sisippt river. The heaviest grade is only
thirty feet to the mile, and that for only a
mile or so.
Here in Dodgeville we cannot even have
a survey—to say nothing of an extension
of the Mineral Point Railroad to our own
village. Verily, we are a slow boat.
—The Dubuque Herald , says the Min
nesota Packot Cos. have sold out their entire
line of steamboats, to the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, fifteen in number, many
of them first class boats. There were also
29 barges sold, together with warehouse
privileges &c. The price paid was $l5O
- A big western transaction.
This line of boats was mostly owned in
Galena.
—Wheat is worth in Galena from 85 to
90 cents ; corn 45 to 50 cents ; oats 62 J to
65 cents; barley 90c to $1,00: and rye
70 to 75 cents.
—The leased cotton plantations along the
Mississippi are producing a net income to
the government of $l4O per acre.
A Goon Take. —A drunken Confederate
Surgeon, captured at Little Rock, Ark,, on
awaking, remarked that it beat Old Rip Van
Winkle, that a man could not go to s’eep
in the Confederate States without waking
up in the United States.
—Dr Winship now lifts 2,000 pounds,
and expects soon to reach the 3,000 notch
—The potato rot is said to have broken
out again in Ireland. In some localities
three-fourths of the crop have perished
Cause, heavy and constant rains.
In Portland, Me., about 1,000 bushels
of potatoes are concentrated per day, for
army use. A bushel makes about five
pounds. This concentrated potatoe is then
ground up, giving it the appcrance of In
dian meal. It is cooked somewhat like
starch.
—The supervisors of Lafayette County
have squeezed up everything, and have $2,-
500 in the Treasury, so says the Indepen
dent. A good record.
following paragraph from one
of Beecher’s late speeches in England is to
the point. Hitting the nail square on the
head:
“Police,” said Mr. Beecher, “have no
right to enter your house as long as you
act according to law, but when you defy
the law, they have a right to enter. So in
a constitutional Government we had no
power to touch Slavery while Slavery re
mained a constitutional institution, but
when it lifted itself up from its state of hu
mility and attempted to become a national
policy, it became a national enemy, and no
jonger had a national exemption.”
Marshal Fry has issued a
circular containing the following ;
Towns which have raised the money
to pay their quotas receive the same
credit ns if actual substitutes has been
furnished. The President has ordered
that every citizen who has paid the §3OO
commutation shall receive the same
credit therefore as if he had furnished a
substitute, and is exonerated from mili
tary service for the time for which he
was drafted, to wit: for three years.
An Artificial Soldier. —Near St.
gevier, in France, there lives an old sol
dier with a false leg, a false arm, a glass
eye, a complete set of fale teeth, a nose
of silver, covered with a substance im
itating flesh, and a silver plate replaced
part of his skull. He was a soldier un
der Napoleon, and these are his tro
phies. He must be a splended speci
men of composite architecture.

Headquarters 31st Reg’t Wis. Tots., 1
Murfreesboro, Tens., Nov. 4th, 1863./
Friend Wrigglesworth.—As you
requested me to inform you occasion
ally of the health and whereabouts of
Cos. “C,” I hereby comply wdth your
request: —
The Regt. left La Yergne on the 25th
of Oct., (having been there for three
weeks) and guarded a wagon train thro’
to this place. We passed through a
part of the battle-field of Stone River,
where we saw the graves of many poor
fellows who had fallen in the defence
of the flag they love so dearly. We
also passed a rebel trench where 180
traitors were mowed down by one of
the Wis. Batteries —the sth I believe.
They had been covered but slightly as
we could plainly perceive their toes
sticking out of the ground, and many
of the bones had been scratched up by
dogs. All the Union soldiers were de
cently interred, with palings to protect
them, and in one place a fine monument
is in course of erection over the remains
of the fallen heroes of General Ilozen’s
Brigade. Murfreessboro is about the
size of Dodgeville, though more com
pactly built and with more elegant
buildings. It has been a very pretty
place, and is so still although its beauty
is sadly marred by the ravages of war.
The place is strongly fortified, more so
than Nashville. The 22d and 31st Wis.
are all the infantry here at present, and
picket duty is rather heavy, the boys
coming on every other day ; but we are
required to keep a vigilant watch as
Forrest has been prowling around here
lately. Three companys of our Regt.
have been detailed to guard a bridge
two miles and a half below here. The
election took place yesterday, giving a
heavy Union majority. Cos. “C” cast a
heavy Democratic vote of one ! Union
votes 42, total 43. The health of the
Regt. is improving rapidly as we have
excellent water close to camp.
