PRESCOTT, WIS:
SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 19, 1863.
SEE~~ FOURTH PACE.
Trte VXIOX MOVEMENT.
In the successful inaogaration of the
Union party •$ R State pm ty, Las been
vindicated the wisdom of the policy of
these who early and persistently advo
cate I the movement. It is a triumph
for ii>>se in the St. Croix Valley, who
were its earliest au<l warmest friends.
In the summer of 186!, the Prescott
Journal and the Hudson North Star
simultaneously came out in favor of rtich
»movement. Shortly nfter, the Green
Bay Advocate adopted the same policy.
Ti.-.se papers are the only ones that Lave
allocated the wisdom and propriety of
the Union movement from the first, and
the St. Croix Valley is the only place
• here it Las been carried out in good
faith.
But the little cloud no bigger than a
man's hand now overspreads the State.
Ths loyal hosts of Wisconsin are mov
ing on to Victory as a Union* party. —
Patriotism supercedes partisanship.—
Lave Union leaders. Our banner
Lems that inspiring Watchword. Let
as labor tv win a glorious Union VICTO

.Now and Then.
Two years ago, the Democracy of
this County, under the lead of Hon. J.
W. Beahd«lkt, worked heartily to de
fenl the State Ticket which Mr. Palmer,
the present Democratic nominee fur Gov
ernor supported, and subsequently, Mr.
Beakdslev defeated that gentleman for
tuc S;*eaker->bip of the Assembly. Mr.
Palmer was a much bJtter war man
llicu than now. If it was wise tor Dem
ocrats to oppose him then, it is doubly so
now*. Will the Democrats of Pierce
County stultify themslves by supporting
him now ! We believe not.
£3” Dr. is bringing up
Brick Pomeroy's la-t year’s record ou
nun with damaging efl’-ct. Brick, in
the vcm past has “flapped over” com
pieteiy from a patriot to a Copperhead,
but has’wen n true Hue Democrat all the
time. His democracy reminds us of a
gen story.
A fello* Lad a revolutionary gun,
which he was food of showing and tell
ing Low Lis grandfather carried under
Washington One day showing it to two
ftieads the following dialogue einued.
-Yen say that gun has been through
the revolutionary war I”
“Yes.”
“Why, but the barrel is of Tandem
manufacture. Look at the date.”
“Well, yes, there has been a new Lar
rei put in.”
Said the other, “Thia stock looks new.
certainly it has not Iwen long used.”
‘•Well, no, I bad a new stock put on
a while ago.*
“But what part of the gun was in the
revolutionary war ?”
“The touchhole, by
Brick gets a new stock and barrel to
his Democracy, every little while, but
likely keeps the old touchhole.
X»r If local items, like wino, grew
better by age, those in the River Fails
Reporter would be exceeding excellent.
/TirWe see a good in my papers
which endorse Coppeihead tickets, while
in their editorials tb"y put out very
good war doctrine. Once in a while wo
see a paper which seems to love copjwr
hcad principles. The Owego (N. Y.)
Gazette is ruch a one. The editors of
euch papers may as well be selecting lots
in the |H)lit’cal Cemetery, their obituaries
will be written soon.
—Wo notice a list of the present
members us the Gallant old Minnesota
First, published in the St. Paul Pioneer.
We see that the name of Henry O. Fi
field. Drum Major, is by some means
omitted. We understand that he is still
with the regiment, which he has been a
member of since its first organization, be
being one of the first to volunteer inthat
regiment, and the first man who left
Prescott to serve under the banner, in
the defense of our country

THE FAIR.
The County Fair will come off on Fri
day and Saturday of next week. Tho
officers of the Society have taken all tho
pains possible to make the Fair a success
—the result rests with the people. Let
there be a full turn out, and a Show
worthy of the reputation this county has
heretofore earned.
The Teacher’s Institute.
Tho Teacher’s Institute Las been in
session here during the latter part
of this week. Tho attendance Was not
large, but tho exercises were interesting.
On account of the’heavy storm, scarcely
no one was out on Wednesday evening,
but the lecture by Prof. A. H. Weld, on
Thursday evening, was well attended.—
Pref. Hatch has been assiduous in his es
forts to make these Institutes interesting
and profitable.
The Co. Superintendent*
During a few days past, the names of
Prof. W. T. Hatch, Prof. B. Wilcox and
Rev. W.C. Dennison, have been men
tioned as candidates for the office of Co.
School Superintendent. Mr. Dennison
is not a candidate; and as we knoio that
Prof. Wilcox has assured Mr. Hatch of
his earnest desire to see him re elected,
we presume the report that he, (Mr. Wil
cox) is a candidate, is incorrect. Prof.
Hatch Las. we believe, given general sat
isfaction, and we doubt whether any
change would be beneficial.

Sheep for Sale.
Mr. W’m. D. Hukton has a lotof/OO
sheep for sale, at Milton Webster’s farm
in River Falls. The sheep are said to
be a fine lot, and will be sold at fair
prices. There is no more profitable bus
iness in this county than sheep raising;
an interest has been awakened in this di
rection, and we presume Mr. Horton will
find plenty of purchasers.
The IkLiaeK SwilU.
The celebrated vocalist. Miss Green
field, will sing here this (Saturday) eve
ning, at the Brick Church. Her fame is
worid-wide. At her Concert in Hastings
on Thursday evening, the Hall was dens
ly crowded, and many went away unable
to gain adm.ttance, so that the Conceit
was repeated on Friday evening. Lovers
of music should not fail to attend, as the
Concert will certainly be a rich treat.

Thursday.
Dr. Van Slyee lectured befoie
the Teacher’s Institute on Wednesday
evening. Our citizens showed their lite

of the rain, in turning out to the num

soon cease to bo troubled with foreign
intervention in our educational gather

Carson started out to Springfield last

him off of tho rond about half a mile,
stripped him of his clotlies and took l>; c

Terlble Riot of Soldier’s Wives
at Mobile.
Memphis Sept. 17.—Refigees lately
arrived within our lines bringing exciting
reports of the terrible conation of af
fairs in the Southeast. Od» mnn who
left Mobile on the fifth, state that there
was a terrible riot of soldie’s’ wives in
Mobile on the 4th. About GOO women
and children collected at Spring Hill,
armed wiili knives nnd iHlchets and
marched through the fprihiipal streets,
carrying banners inscribed .vith ‘‘Bread
or Blood” “Pence” and other like inscrip
tions. Being soldiers’ wiies, the pro
ceedings wore winked at by soldiers who
made but feeble resistance.

Jf-f 4 ” The Madison Journal pays ibis
fine compliment to a man who Inis few
superiors as an officer and none as a
gentleman:
“For tho fourth term, Hon, Samuel D.
Hastings is presented as a candidate fur
State Treasurer, by universal consent,
there being no other candidate before the
Convention. The man who can have
charge of the finances of tho State fur
six successive years—the department
over which the people are the most sensi
tive—and so conduct himself as to re
reive the unanimous endorsement of his
party for re election, needs no .newspa
per endorsement. Such endorsement
stands out in bold relief, in comparison
with what any editor eould say. That
Samuel D. Hastings is to day the strong
est man with the people, in connection
with tho office of Treasurer, that there is
in this State, does not admit of a doubt.
This reputation has not been attained
without tho greatest industry, superior
capacity, and strictest integrity in the
man. Mr. H. possesses all these qualities
in an eminent degree. The people know
if. nnd will retain services in
bis present capacity.”
