I i A I' H0 gum IVO 1 i'W -S IUU LK MM Ql I Um i VOLUME IX. MADISON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 1G, 1861. NUMBER 173. A Probability. It will be seeu by the dispatches in another column that the President has call ed upon all the Southern States yet holding an attitude of loyalty to the Union, for their quota of troops.

In some, if not all of theso Sutes, the t-pirit of insubordination is so strong that there is little or no probability of their complying with the ca'l. Virginia and North Carolina are balancing on the very brink of secession. In none of the border States is the unconditional Union sentiment RUtlioiently pow erful to afford reasonable ground for the hope that they will aid the government in bringing back the revolting States to their allegiance. The jst we can hope from them is passivity we need not be. sur prised if we have to tight them all.

Under these circumstances, it is evident that the President will not raise 75,000 men; upon the call just nude, and that the Northern States will soon be called on to supply the deQciency. Wisconsin is prepared to do her part. Judicial Election Ofliclal. The following are the official returns bo far as received at office of Secretary of State: MAJORITIS3. CoUMnia.

lie says tie feat of arms, was a very great compliment to the gallant defenders of Fort Sumter and said they only executed the orders cf their Government, and concludes by ordering the return of shells fired. The city is unexcited. It was rumored a salute was fired in honor of the British Consul, and that Great Britain had acknnowledged our independence. The salute was fired when Major An derson left the Isabel to go aboard the Baltic. lie and his command are on their way home.

The Meeting Last Night 1 A KTV 1.1 ES Kl' KAC ED Itie Uulon of all Good Citizens lor the Sake of the Union. There was an informal meeting of members of the Legislature and S-ate officers, and jothers, at the Executive rooms in the Capitol last evening, to consider the sab-jetJt of providing for a proper response to the call of the President upon the State. Judge Cor.K, of the Supremo Court, was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting in a speech full of stirring and patriotic sentiments. 1 The Democratic members held a separate meeting to determine what course tLpy would pursue, and, at about half past uina o'clock, having determined to lay all partizan feeling and cc operate huirtily for the defence ol the country and the suppression of rebellion, joined the meeting. They were received with enthusiastic cheers, and welcomed in a brief and eloquent address by the chairman, Judge Cole.

In respose to calls, several of t'e gentlemen spoke britlly, all uniting while not agreed as to the precise amount of means that tl onld be raised at present, ia tbe declaration that they were retidy to sustain the appropriation of whatever might be necessary to enfotce the laws and quell revolt. Thi was the general sentiment of the meeting. Many of the members wished to provide for raising a million of dollars, not with the expectation that so much would be required immediately, but to bIiow the country, and to show the Sonth the strength, the earnestuess, and the determination of the Union sentiment of the North-Weet and to dissipate the delusion, which has seemed to prevail in some of the seceding States that the people of this section of the country entertain any other sentiment towards traitors than detestation or will maintain any other relation with them except that of eternal hos Ulity. The legislature. The Legislature this morning passed the so called war bill appropriating $200,000 to be nsed as the exigencies of the country may demand, under the direction of Governor Randall, the Commander-in-Chief of the Militia of tha State, in raising troops to aid the President in sustaining the Government.

The voto on the passage of the bill lacked bat one of unanimity in either House: Mr. Cunning, democrat, voting ngtinst it in the Senate, and Mr. Thomas, democrat, in the Assembly. The two Houses meet this eveninj at 7J o'clock to take some action in regard to the currency of our banks. Tbe Governor's Proclamation.

The Governor's proclamation calling on the State for volunteers, will be found on the next page. Th people are at length fully aroused to the national exigency, and there will be no delay or shrinking back, but a prompt and enthusiastic response. The proclamation reflects the spirit of determination and energy which animates the people. Clothed with full power and ample means by the legislature, the Gov ernor will lose no time in placing at the disposal of the President the quota of men demanded of Wisconsin. Important Xews.

The act providing for the defense of the Ute which was amended by the act to-day; the act amending the general banking law; an. act allowing parties to testify in their own behalf in certain crim inal actions an act in regard to distrain- iflg cattle doing damage and an act fixing th salary of the Attorney General, are among the laws published in, to-day's paper.

The n3w city ernment went into operation to-day. The Board of Aldermen is made np of very good men, and we shall look for an efficient, economical and successful administration of our city affairs for the next year. Tna Mayor's Inaugural. The inaugural address of Mayor Vilas was delivered in the Common Council room, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. It was quite lengthy, and indicated fully the policy of the new administration.

Many of the suggestions in it were valuable, and, if carried out, will be of great benefit to. the We shall give the message at length, hereafter. Jl3 We would call new advertisement, of attention to the W. Whiiina. who has jast opened, a new stock -of goods in the storerecently occupied by John Iley-nolds, on King street he sells exclusively for cash and he sells his goods cheap as he is a stranger and intends to make Madison his home we advise our citizens to give him a call.

Selvioes Accepted. Capt. George E. Bryant h.13 received notice from the Governor, that the tender of the services of the Madison Guard under bis command, to the United States, has been accepted. Capt.

Bryant will proceed at onco to fill up the company, and be in readiness for active service. That this company will do its full duty to the country, no one doubts, who knows the gallant Captain and his noble men. tThe Statutes having bejn ao amended as to require only one publication 'of the Jaws at the Seat of Government, the second publication heretofore made in the Argus Democrat has been suspended. The State Journal is now the only paper authorized to make such publication, and all who are interested will find all papers emanating from the Legislature or any of the departments of State, officially in our paper. A Strong Prayer.

The prayer of the Rev. Mr. Waitees, of the Methodist Church, who officiated as chaplain of the Senate this morning, was pertinent to the times. After alluding to the recent events at the South, the Reverend gentle-tnaa contiuued "Oh Godfiae uonviC' tion is forced upon our minds with the strength of demonstraiion, that these men, who have thus turned traitors against their country, ought to le hung in this world and damned in the world to come The prayer was interrupted at this point by a slight and respectful demonstration of applause in the crowded lobby. Astonishing.

It is really astonishing, the quantity of new goods that are daily arriving at McKey Brothers and what is still more astonishing the prices they are selling for. Give them a call. They have the largest stock in the city, and having greater facilities for purchasing than any house in the West and can evidently sell at lower rates. R-member 9, main street, "Beautify your Homes." Beautify your homes you are told, but we say make them glad at home, for which purpose wo offer the following resolution Resolved, That we will gladden tbe hearts, of ours at home, by purchasing one of the celebrated and reliable Grover Baker's Family Sewing Machines, which have stood the test for ten years as one of the best, and that we can confide in the Agent of this city, Matthew W. Davis.

Those desiring this safest and cheapest protection for their families, can secure it in our Wisconsin Company. It has already become, in reality, a State institution, having Agents and patrons among the best business men in all the principal towns in the State. It is no longer a matter of doubt that Life Insurance can be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connecticut or any other Eastern State.

Thus while duy demands that men should insure their lives, it also demands that they should keep their money for investment at home. Confident that onr success has been more than equal to that of the most unprecedented," we would cordially invite all our c'tizena to call at the office, south west corner of Main and Wisconsin Milwaukee, and examine for themselves.

Milwaukee, April 16. An immense meeting was held last night at the Chamber of Commerce.

Men of all parties participated, and the excitement was very great.

JJ. D. D. Newhall, and J. S.

The requisition has not been received yet, but as soon as received. Governor Goodwin will take prompt and active measures for complying with it. It is not probable that an extra session of the legislature will be called. The State will undoubtedly tender two regiments to the Government instead of one, as requested by the President. Montgomery, 15.

The public here are deh ghted that the Union is at an end, a ad that we are now entirely justified in driving the invaders from our shores.

Tub Fkelixo among Business Men. One of the heaviest merchants in East Water street pays that he had sent on for quite a large amount of sugar, but since the war news came he has countermanded the oroer. He says that he don't care now whether lie dues any business or not, till the rebellion is put down and he is ready to do or pay anything to help put it down. Another of the heaviest merchants in East Water street says that if it were necessary to raise a tax for war purposes, upon the citizens or upon the business community, of anything from $1 to $1,000 each, he is ready to pay it cheerfully. Another of our heaviest merchants, who has heretofore been a submissionist, says he is for "war to the knife" now, to put down the rebellion against the government, and to avenge the shooting down of United States in the discharge of their duty.
