She died in beauty!--like the snow

Poetry,
TIE DESERTED HOMESTEAD,

There is lonely homestead,
In a green and quiet vale,
With its tall trees signing mournfully,
To every passing galci
There are many ruins round IT
In the sunlight cleaning fair,
But moss grown is that silver cot,
Its walls are grey and bare.
Where once glad voices sounded,
OF children in their ninth,
No whisper breaks the solitude
OF that deserted hearth.
The swallow from its dwelling
To the low caves hath flown,
Ard all night whiPPoorwiII
Sings by the threshold stone.
No hand above the lattice,
Ties up the trailing vines,
Ard through the broken easement phnea
The moon at midnight shines;
And many 4 solemn shadow
Seems standing from the glo2m,
Like forms Of long departed ones,
Pecpling that dim old room.
o. where are they whose voices
Rang GU, DER hin ard dale
Gone and their mournrul memories
Seem but an Oft tod tale.
Some to the quiet churchynrd,
And some beyond the sea.
To meet no more rs once they me;
Beneath that old roof tree.
Fame and ambition lured them
From that green vale TO roam'
But as their dazzling dreams depart
Regrctful memories come,
OF the valley and the homestead
QClheir childhood pure and fee,
Thot home once more TO see.
o. best are they who linser
Mid old familiar things,
Where every object round the heart
Its hnIlowod influence filings
Though won are wealth and honors,
Though reached fime's lofty dome,
There are 10 JOYS like those which spring
Within our childhood's home.

The Next Legislature

being thoroughly whig, the democrats will
have little else to do than sit with folded arms
and allow the wings to have their own way
in deciding those important questions which
will come before that body. There are some
questions which the next Legislature will be
called upon to decide, Notwithstanding the
Bank question may be considered as disposed
Of. The wings themselves, have: promised
an amendment of the I'ar La,O, and it will
be their duty to amend that law to make it
comport with the wishes of the people. The
Registry law will require their action, as IN
this County it is entirely imperative, or has
been so treated. The question of the Black
Laws must be settled, and they wAl find no
little difficulty in this matter. Many other
questions of vital importance to the people of
Ohio, will doubtless claim their attention; and,
as the democrats are greatly in the minority,
they will have but little to do in deciding
these matters.

Wisconsin Territory.

From the Racine Advocate af Oci ober 2lst
we CLEAN the following interesting items re-
lative to the rapid growth, improvement, &c.
of this fourishing Territory and some of It's
principal Towus:-
"Fox RIVER IMPROVEMENT: The citizens of
Green Bay are moving early 10 order to OBJ
tain aid from Congress in behalf of the Fox
River improvement, &c. A public meeting
was held there goth ult., Hen. A. G. Ellis in
the chair; at which Messrs. H. s. Baird,
Arndt, and Fisk, were appointed committee
to memoriolize Congress in favor of improv'
! ing Fox River-and also for an approprla-
ton to erect light house on Grass island ,
for stalking out the channel at the mouth OF
Fox river, for road from Green Bay 10 Cop
per Harbor, and for road from Green Bay 10
Plover Portage.
Our fellow citizens of Green Bay are de-
termined to lose nothing for the lack Of ask.
ing early: and as favors do not often come
unasked for now days, ohem are we of RA-
CINE 10 get up our memorial for aid in fin
ishing our Harbol?'
"ELEcTIoN ITEMS: We perceive, from the
official canvass in the Green Bay Republican,
that Mr.. Martins majority in Brown county
is 1850 over Col. Collins; while the highest
whig candidate for the Legislature has ma
jority over the highest democrat, and the
lowest democrat has only 2s majority over
the lowest whig.
JMilwaSkie, after all, has not done quite SC
badly as size was at first reported to have done
for the democratic candidate, at the late
election; from the official returns, it seems
Mr.. Martin received a majority of A ovel
Col. Collins. We will again sum up the vote
for delegate to Congress, as far as we have
seen it officially stated, and give the reported
majorities for the rest of the counties.

upon The aggressors. Thisproceedlng
threw disorder into, the ranks, and
wounded great number ofimen. The
Russians were beginning to give way,
but at the voice Of their officers they
again rushed impeteously TO combat.
AT length, alter extraordinary efforts,
they succeeded in taking possession of
the entire chain of hills and fortified
mounts, with the exception Of one po-
sition, from which a dreadful FIRE OF
musketry was kept up. This point
could not be carried until the next day.
The Circassians did not abandon it un.
til they were at the last extremity, and
then, as at Dargo, they retired in good
order. leaving about one hundred dead
behind them. The Russian troops dis.
played rare intrepidity in this affair, but

UNFoRTUNATE.- Mr.. Napoleon Les
ieur, a citizen Of Portage des Sioux, St..
Charles county. Mo-. on Thursday last
in company with his brother Edward,
went out on a hunting excursion. About
three miles below Portage, they separa-
ted, and shortly afterwards Edward heard
the report Of gun, but supposing that
he had shot at game, he thought no
more Of it, and went home, expecting to
find his brother there. Not appearing
for some time, the village was aroused,
search was made, and about three o..
clock in the morning his dead body was
found, lying on the ground, just as he
had fallen from his cart. 1t appeared
that the horse had run off, and that, in
his efforts to stop him, he had hit the
lock Of his gun, and it went off-the ball
from which had taken effect in his side.
a little below his breast. The cart was
broken, and the horse was not to be
found. Mr.. Lesieur was man of fam,
ily, and much esteemed by all who knew
him. - Gin Eng. ~

mel;
"With regard to what is said about Racine,
we are glad to know that this fine town is
prospering steadily, but to speak of it as Ego.
ing ahead Of any place along the Wisconsin
shore" is strange mistake. Racine, we
suppose, has population of $500 or 5000
souls; is surrounded by fine farming coun-
try, and in exchange for the produce brought
in there, disposes of very fair amount OF
goods. 1t Is, in short, thriving, busy town,
and we view its growth and prosperity with
none other than pleasurable feelings; but
Milwaukee is already 'far ahead" Of it, and
all who live, or land here, must continue to
be much greater than that of Racine. In the
first plac0 our population is treble that Of Ra-
cine, and the business of tho two towns be ars

The Late Contest.

The whjg party are rejoicing with exceed>
inc great iov over the result of the late elec-
tion in this State. They Claim that it shows
Conc clusively that the measures OF the wings
are favorably received and considered by the
people, and that the partial and unjust laws
which were enacted by the whig Legislature
of last winter, have received the approval Of
the great majority. Well they haze tr'umph~
ed-they have secured majority of the mem-
be rs of the next Legislature. But, is it true,
that this result is conclusive evidence that
their policy in fair contest in which the pop>
ular will was expressed, has been approved
by the people? Do they pot know that e.
nough democ rats, who are opposed to their
measures. staid away from the polls, to have
elected majority of the members OF the
lower branch of the Legislature, because there
was nothing to induce them to turn out. They
knew that the wings had majority in the
Senate which could not be changed without
the democrats carrying some of the strong
holds of whiggery. The wings had major
iority of sir of the members holding over, ane
to even tie them in the next Senate the dem
ocrats would have had to elect IL of the Ia
new members. What could the democrats
have accomplished without majority in botf
branches? and without prospect of carrying
