Caution on Volunteering and Drill Urged by Wisconsin Press
A Wisconsin editorial urges prudence in volunteering for war, arguing many offers exceed needs and stressing civilians at home must endure prices and shortages. It endorses military drilling as useful preparation, supports orderly conscription if needed, and cites public duty, economic stability, and national defense as guiding principles.

Governor's Message on Civil War Mobilization and Defense
The governor describes an emergency after the Legislature's session, authorizing response to the President's call, enlisting volunteers for active service, and arming and uniforming units. He notes rapid offers from thousands of men, the lack of prior military organization, and the need to defend the Union, expand force levels, and prepare state quotas while urging swift decisive action against secessionist threats. He emphasizes state and federal coordination, defense along critical borders, and the dangers of further secession.
