-y The article from Mr. Akers was in
tended for last week’s paper, but was received
too late for insertion. The same is true of the
letter from Camp Randall.
The military of this city continue
their drill, and are making good progress.—
The Fire Company in Hudson are practicing
the Zouave drill.
J. S. Elwell, of the North Star, pass

turn from the East, where he has been sojour
ning for several months past.
Most of our are aware that the
■?th Regiment Wis. Volunteers has left for Ra
cine, destined to Gen. Patterson’s column.—
The papers highly compliment its appear
ance,
f rom all accounts the Editorial Con
vention at Hudson was a success. The ad

fine. — Mil waitkee Wisconsi n.
3F B. W. Reynolds, Esq., Receiver ot the
I S'.. Croix Land Office, called on us a few days
I sir.'.. We notice the La Crosse Republican
speaks of him as “ the Ehler," so without
doubt he is a " great and good man."
Green apples made their appearance
in our market a few days since, but soon dis
appeared, leaving many of our citizens with
out a smell—of the delicious fruit. This fruit
will toon be more plenty;
j. s ?* The St. Paul Frei* a few days since
stated that Robert C. Murphy of the St.
Croix Falls, was appointed Col. of the Bth
is. Regiment. We have seen no notice of
the fact elsewhere. ,
The Milwaukee took an excursion par
ty to St. Paul on Thursday evening last. The
loat was beautifully decorated with evergreens,
and the smiling countenances of the excur
sionists told they were having a huge old time
We learn W. J. Whipple of this city
has been engaged as correspondent of the
Press <t News, Milwaukee. He accompanied
the 4th Regiment Wis. Volunteers to Racine.
Three of the Prescott Guards arrived
here Saturday evening last. They remained
until Tuesday evening, when they departed for
Camp. The 6th Wis. Regiment, in w hich is
the Prescott Guards, have orders to inarch for
Washington on Friday of this week, and will
probably assist in storming Manassas fortifica
tions.
Sand s Circus.— This circus will exhibi
at Hastings July 29th. and no doubt will be
well patronized, as all know this circus is A.
No. 1, and never fails to please. We have fre
quently attended Sand’s exhibitions, and al
ways got our moneys worth.
IS’ Quite a numtier of our citizens atten
ded De Haven’s circus Wednesday evening
and enjoyed a rich treat. We were high
ly pleased with the circus, but cannot say we
particularly enjoyed the negro performance.—
Rather too much darkey for us. The eight
instrument “ mashshine” is a very complicated
insti.nt,, u, and no doubt required years of toil
and study to bring it to perfection. This
j .ot ably accounts for the numerous grev hairs
on the cranium ci the «original inventor."
Our military were up aud « dressed’’
oarly Saturday morning of last week, and be
fore t-tkin; up their line of march for Cottage
rove paraded our principal streets, looking

IJ* S ‘* r “ P ° rt Breedings in
Dan Rice's Circus. — This popular coin
pany wiU give two entertainments at
Hastings on Saturday, July 27th, at 1
and 7 o’clock v. M. Dan Rice is weH known,
and his exhibitions have been attended by al
most every man, woman and child in the Uni
ted States, who are aware he advertises noth
ing he does not perform All that is necessary
is for people to know Dan Rice is coming
when they congregate by thousands to witness
his grand performances.
One of our business firms, a few days
since, on opening a barrel of pork, discovered
it was not the genuine article, and disposed of
said pork by rolling it into the river. A pass
er-by soon discovered the barrel, and think
ing he had a good thing, hastened to rescue
it. After considerable exertion no his part he
succeeded in getting it out ot the water and
up-ending it, when he nd do doubt “smelt a
smell," and thrust his head and shoulders into
the barrel to see what was the difficulty on the
inside. After taking several snuffs, concluded
if it wa« a little stale it was chape,
need little or no chewing, and answer the pur
pose of the genuine article ; and away went
Mr. man with his treasure.
tST The Wisconsin F«r»ierthus veiy truth
fully speaks of the advantages of Pierce Co
“ Dr. O. T. Maxson, of Prescott, publishes an
interesting and truthful account of the County
i of Pierce and its advantages as a location for
farmers and mechanices, and for men of capi
' tai. We have visited this favored portion of
our Shite and are fully convinced that he has
not ovei stated its claims as to beauty of scene
ry, fertility of soil, quality of timber, etc., and
the enterprise, intelligonce, and virtue of its
people, His statement should be read by all
who desire cither to invest their capital for fu
ture gain or secure homes for their families.”
A Word to ths Boys Going South.—
It would not bestrange if with the change of
climate and exposure to which you will he ex
posed in the Land of “ Dixie,” you should
stand in need of some valuable pain reliever
■ to be used immediately ; such a remedy is
Perry Davi’s Vegetable Pain Killer. The
Pain Killer has been tested in every variety of
climate, and by almost every nation known to
Americans. It is the almost constant friend
of the missionary and the traveler on sea and
land —for the cure of colds, coughs, weak
stomach and general debility, indigestion,
cramp and pain in stomach, Bowel Complaint,
{Jolie, Diarrhoea, Cholera, etc. Don't go with
out a bottle in your knapsacks. To be had at
the Drugstores.
Mr. M. Cook, a farmer residing near
River Falls, presented nS with a trtce lot of En
' glish Gooseberries a few days since, the lar-
I of which measured 3’T inches in diameter. —
We judge from the dimensions of these bereies
that Mr. Cook is all right on the goose ques
tion. ¥ z*
The Fourth Regiment and Stump Tail.
—An attempt was made by Governor Randall
I to pay off the Fourth Regiment, for the time
' which it has been in the service of the State,
■ in Wisconsin currency. But it was no go- The
' boys “knew a thing or two” Stump tail was no
compensation for “going sojering.” We learn
that Winchester and Judge Clapp of the Hud
son City Guards, mounted the stump and
made elaborate speeches, urging the boys to
refuse all money except the specie. Of course
the victory was with the soldiers, and the gdld
was paid.— Hudson Times.
The Crops.— The idea seems to be quite
prevalent that the crops in this section are ve
ry poor, and that the wheat crop, especially,
will not give its usual yield. Now such is
not the case. Oa the contrary, the crops are
j good. The wheat will not yield as much as
i last year, but will be nearly, if not fully upto
j the average crop. All other crops arc looking
' finely, and give promise of an abundant har
i vest. We have gained our information in re
gard to the ciops both by actual observation
! and by conversation with numerous farmers,
and we believe it is correct.— Hudson Times.
The crops in this county are looking finely,
1 with a fair prospect of an average yield. We
! must “ go slow" and be content with thirty
■ bushels ot wheat to the acre this year.
The Jpress & News. — Since Beriah
j Brown has left the Prcss d' News, that paper
j has greatly improved in tone Its present edi
' tor thus hits the late Beriah:—
That every man, who supported, in the late
presidential contest the brave and patriotic
Douglas, should still cherish in his heart some
, prejudice against hiss'iccessful rival,is natural,
nay, unavoidable. Nevertheless we are for
the Union, and no appeals to our prejudice, no
| threats of political excommunication, and no
hypocritical lamentations over the evils of civ-
I il war by ’’Ghristain gentlemen” can divert
our attention from this one great fact, that the
i administration has not thus far departed a
hair’s breadth front the policy which Mr,
Douglas advised Mr. Lincolh to adopt, for the
preservation of the Government. “Though
dead, he still speaketh to us,” and when we al
low our prejudices to close our ears against his
last injunctions, we will injustice to his
memory, renounce our connection with his
faithful and devoted followers. It is meet and
proper, that Judas should no longer lie count
ed one of the twelve.
C. N, Whitney, of the Minnesota
Conserver, hits commenced the publication of a
dailv paper called the Minnesota Daily Con
server. It contains full telegraphic reports,and
will be appreciated by those wishing to obtain
reliable despatches from the Seat of War. By
this arrangementwe will receive the latest news
by 6 o’clock every morning. We are indebt
to Mr. Whitney for the latest telegrams in

Correspondence Of the Journal.
The Batalion Drill.
Mr. Editor :—On the Fourth of July the
Washington County Rifles, Gapt. Ayres, in
vited the Prescott Artillery, Capt. Hillier, and
the Banner Badgers, Capt. Reimund, to meet
their company and a company from Nininger
at Cupola Barn, opposite Nininger, in Cottage
Grove, on the 22d July, for the purpose of hav
ing a Batalion Drill. On Saturday last, the
20th, the Artillery Company turned out in
full—22 men, in a very handsome uniform—
black pants, blue shirts trimmed with red, aud
blue caps, the gun drawn by two horses ; and
the Banner Badgers—-20 men, uniformed very
neatly—white pants with blue strijies, red
jackets trimmed with blue, and blue caps. The
two companies formed on Broad and Orange
Streets at 8 a. m., and after marching to Kin
ickinic Street, thence down that to Water
Street and up Water to the ferry, where Mr.
Felt ferried them all safely over. Some few
citizens from Prescott accompanied the mili
tary with “Commissary supplies,” eich mem
ber of the companies carrying thus sufficient
cooked material for a pic-nic dinner. D.
Marsh, of ice notoriety, carried along a
supplj of lager and icecream. The two com
panies from Prescott were met at 11 a. m. half
a mile this side the Barn by the Washington
County Rifles, who escorted the former up to
headquarters. After getting a drink of good
ice water, the three companies marched out
about half a mile, met aud escorted the Ninin
gcr company to the Barn. After an hours
drilling under command of Col. Ayres, the
ladies and citizens formed in procession and
escorted the military to the aforesaid Barn,from
the cupola of which gaily floated the stars and
stripes, the emblem of liberty, in which rows
of temporary tables were loaded with the sub
stantials and delicacies of the land. It was
really a surprise to the Prescotians, as we diu
not expect anything of the kind. There were
over I.ooo—probably 1,50*i citizens peresen’.
of which a large proportion Were ladies, v i;o
cannot be excelled for beauty and largeness <-f
heart by the fair sex of any other country
God bless them. To win tlieir smiles who
would uot be a soldier and march for miles
through sand and dust and storm a mns’ied
battery? The ladies have and are certainly
doing their share for the Nation in this year
of trial, when fiendish traitors are striving to
overthrow the Constitution and subvert all
laws. After dinner was over, Lt. Gov. Don
nelly made a neat little speech, at the conclu
sion of which three cheers were given for him,
and three rousing cheers for the ladies of Cot
tage Grove. The companies again formed in
Batalion, marched out to the prairie, aud Col.
Ayres tanned aline and fought a mock battle.
The exercise made the men sweat, but the 11-
dies and citizens seemed greatly pleased. The
, Batalion again tell back to the Barn, and after
six rounds from the Artillery and three cheers
all round, the companies from Prescott hade
their many frien’ds adieu, arrd all returned safe
ly home. All were well pleased with the in
struction and entertainments of ths day.—
When can the companies and citizens of Pierce
County return the compliment to our Minnes
ota friends by inviting them to a pic-nic and
Batalion Drill at Prescott ? Our citizens, and
i the ladies here will certainly dotheir part and
make a handsome thing of it.

Camp Correspondence,
Cams Randall, July 13th 1861.
Dear Lute : —The Prescott Guards have
just been feasting on the rich cake and regaling
themselves w ith the flavor of those fine cigars
et cetera which the good people of Prescott in
continuance of their former generosity sent
down by A. H. Young Esq.
The boys gave three rousing cheers for Pres
cott and “went in on their shape." It was a
glorious relief from their regular soldier fare
aiid they distinctly expressed many thanks to
the donors. i.May the citizens of Prescott be
amply repaid by the noble defence that the
boys will make of the “Flag of our Country.”
Everything is moving smoothly here and the
regiments are fast getting ready for orders to
move. The sth Regiment was sworn into the
U. S. service to-day by Capt. Mclntyre. They
took the oath by companies, each one holding
up his right hand, swearing the allegiance to
the U. S. and to obey all the rules and articles
for the government of the army of the U nited
States. After the oath was administered each
company gave rousing cheers for the Union.—
The soldiers literally filled the air with their
caps after the oath was administered. There
was a very large crowd of citizehs present cl tir
ing the performance and the utmost good feel
ing prevailed.
The 6th will be sworn in next Monday or
Tuesday. It is yet unknown when the Reg
iments will move. They will perhaps go to
Martinsburg, Virginia.
The soldiers Lave been furnished tip to this
date with the following articles of clothing,—
; grey cottonade pants, blue blouses, grey caps,
with oil cloth cot era and H: velocks (the Have
[ lock your humble servant tcceived in Prescott
being carefully preserved and worn only on
i special occasions in rememberance of the fair
maker,) s’oes and sacks. You would now
hardly rec- gnize the Prescott Gttarks in their
blue shirts.
General Order no 5 read last night upon
; Dress Parade announced thenon-commission
jed Staff ot the 6th Regiment. The Sergeant
■ Major and Fife Major were taken from the
I Prescott Guards, (or more appropriately, Co.
B .) the Ist Sergeant and Filer being respec

Correspondence of the Journal.
County Seat, Perry, July 13, 1861.
Mr. Editor :—ln your issue of Wednesday
last you request the Bunding Committee to
I send you for publication a statement of the
plan and intent of said Committee. In re
ply, Mr. Editor, as one of the Committee I
would say it will afford me pleasure to impart
to you and through the columns of the Jour
nal to the public, anyfand all information I
possess in relation thereto.
I will begin by first stating what was the
first plan of building namely : 41 feet frentby
71 feet deep aud three storis in height. The
ground floor was intended when finished, to
be used in part for Jail and in part for dwel
ling of Jailor ; the second story for offices, and
the third story as a Court Room. This, you
will bear in mind, was the original intention
of the Committee. On Thursday last the
Committee had a meetingand mutually agreed
to make a change by leaving out entirely
that portion intended for Jail purpo
ses, thereby reducing the stone work
some 500 perch ; otherwise the building will
be the same—4l feet by 51 feet, and two sto
ries in height, the first story to bh divided into
hall, and four rooms for offices, and jury room,
provided with two stone fire proof vaults for
the keeping of reCqrds, with capacity sufficient
to hold 300 volumes. Therefore, Sir, you will
perceive the building of a Jail will be a sub
ject for future consideration. The Committee
were of opinion this plan would be advisable
in view of the monetary’ pressure together
with the shortness of the season. I wuild
further state thatit is the intention of the Com
mittee to erect a plain, substantial stone buil
ding, and the Committee intend to keep in
side of the appropriation, that being $6,500. —
They are desirous cf getting the building en
closed and otherwise in such a stage of pm
gross as will enable the county to have the
benefit of the use of the same the coming win
ter. Neither is it the intention, wish, or de
sire of the Committee to waste, expend reck
lessly, use favoritism, or in any way make an
improper use of the appropriation or any part
thereof. But will use every effort to use the
same t the best advantage, notwithstanding
all th Tax Layer has or may hen-after say to
the contrary. Respectfully yonrti,
JAMES AKERS.

council have passed a resolution for the con

property on this street are required to build
sidewalk in front of their lots within sixty
days from the publicntiob of this resolution.—
But if not built within the specified time, said
sidewalk will be built by the city, ami a Spec

the owners Of property on this street will
