    Wallpaper is in system preferences. Or are you referring to having different things on different monitors? There is a display arrangement pane in display preferences if your Mac has multiple displays connected.

    Hook up the 2nd monitor. On that monitor, right click the desktop and select Change Desktop Background. Select the background you want.

    Oh, and make sure you are not just cloning your laptop display.

    Hope that helps :)
