One OF IA Thousand.
An old man stood in the street,
His coat was torn, his locks were grey,
And the frozen stone for many day
Had known his shoeess feet;
lie felt the cold winds breath
NiPping his flesh to The bone,
He hoped for nothing but death,
That beggar wrelched and alone.
Cold was the night and dark,
And the rags on his shiy ring back were
thin,
And The driving Sleet cut quick to his skin
That old man faint and stark
His glance was 10 the sky,
There was but The tempest there,
On earth his glazing eye
Saw famine, want and dispair,
The streets were long since hush'd,
And the tempest was forth in his aw(u
might
And howl'd the spirit of storms and night
Onward iSey wildly rushed,
The blinking lamps looked dim
Through the crowding winlry gloom
No roof. no friend for him,
Who though Of the poor mans doom!
Slowly the streets along
He wandered he knew not where,
II mapsion shone with gaudy gare,,-
Within joyous Ihrong--
His eye the glass peered through,
There were beings Of light and love,
And lips of fragrant dew,
.4nd eyes like lamps above
All, all within how fart
And the bursting song and The laugh grew
Without were famine and want and night;
I'm old mans deep despair
His eye how sad and dim
As it marked that happy crowd
Life 10 them but TO him
The driving snow for shroud.
The froze in his eye
us he thought if lie meanest jewel there
Which flashed so bright in waving hair
Or blaz'd with bosoms' sigh
Were mercy's gift to woe
How mnuy hearts would be so light,
How many tears o'erAow
With joy and bliss that night.
And louder still, without
The tempest how'd with fearful din
And louder, and louder, still within
Where The laugh, and song, and Shout,
With husky voice and low.
How that old man Graves for brad

AT that famshing cry for bread
That old man stands in the lhrong,
All bony and gaun as the dead.

GREAT BATTLE LATE FROM

The brig Argy,e. arrived al Baltimore
from Rio Janerio, whence she sailed on
the 18th cf December, and the brig Salda-
ma, from the same place, December Goth,
bring interesting adv ces from that quar-
ter Ii will be seen by the annexed letters
copied from the Baltimore American, that
the combined forces Of the English and
French, have achieved a signal victory over
the Argentine troops, and captured the
forts al the mouth OF the river Parana.
Rio de Janerio, 18th Dec. ,lS45
The absorbing topic o. the the day is The
late Tremendous engagements between the
Anglo allied forces al the river Platte, and
srme of Rosas, batteries at>ihe mouth OF
river Panara. The newspapers will doubt

ceed!ngs on both sides. On the par, of
the English and French the victory was
complete indeed; not. however, wilhou, Sc.
rious losses as regards life,and property in
the way of shpping.
The English brig of war, Dolphin, alone
received lO7 round shot in her hull ana
rigging during he engagcment;the French
steamer, Fulton, IA shot; and French
vessel, or a vessel manned by Frenchmen,
but formerly manned by the Buenos Ayr
cans, was completely riddIed. The tota
loss o! the allies amounts TO about l5C
killed and wounded; while on the part o.
The enemy no correct statement has beer

in one fort no less than $50 bodies were
found. and in ano her $50 or 100; anc
what is still more strange, they were al

that as fist as white man fell killed o

MIR. EoIToE-i sec in circular issued
| by the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance
Company, ii is stated that ''The recent &C
ton Of the Legislature of the Territory in
reference to this Institution will not in any
way affect lis rights, or interrupt lis bust
ness"
This is as much as to say that the institu.
ton sill possesses all tic rights and priv.
! legos Of corporation, and that il will con.
tinue TO do lis iliegitmate bushes of bank
ing and take thousands annually from the
pockets of the people and enrich the for.
eign stockholders Of the concern. Il has
been contcnded that Tue Legislature has no
right to repeal its charter, nasmuch as the
Legislature did not reserve the right TO re-
peal in granting lis chatter. But TO my
mind the idea is absurd that when the LIE,
! gslaurc Incorporates an institution TO do a
! PARTICULAR business, and instead of doing
The bus. Sess for Which il was created. does
a business no, IDly unauthorized but abso-
lutely prohibited by tins act creating it, that
the Legislature has no rlgn. 10 alter, mod.
ity OF repeal its charter. But it is conten'
ded, and think correctly, that this instin'
ton never had any corporate powers, from
the fact ha; the act incorporating it never
having been approved by Congress. No
act OF Territorial Legislature incorpora.
ting Bank or any institution with Banking
privileges has any force or effect whatever,
until approved and confirmed by Congress- .
That the act incorporating this company
confers Blinking privileges will hardly
BE denied by any one who has given the sub
ject careful investigation. The commit.
tee in the upper branch of our Legislature
TO whom This matter was referred. came 10
this conclusion unanimously, and it should
be born in mind tina, tbs committee was
composed Of three able lawyers, two demo.
Gratis and enc wing.
Now if this view of the suffice, is COZ.
rect no man in his sober senses vii. dispute
the right of the Legislature 10 pass an act
repeating lis charter. The Legislature has
seen tit to do this, and the officers Of the
institution inform the public that they shall
continue TO exercise their Blinking priv.
ieges' as usual. A this they may do but
there is aremedy with the people. Let the
public refuse 10 take and pay out their notes
as money, and far better and safer cur

PRoPosITIoN FOR DAILY PAPER AT

ke, has now two, and will shortly have an
other, and they appear TO be well sustained;
cannot Southport sustain one. We believe
she can; at all events we design TO sec. II
our citizens are DESTROYS that the march Of
Improvement in Southport should be prop
ely represented abroad, we think that their
ENTERPRISE clnnot fail 10 be directed TO the
importance of sustaining daily paper. The
support requisite to sustain il will prob lbly
fIll fax below the expectations of those who
may be doubtful Of its success. We ask 10
commence with only $50 subscribers who
will obligato themselves TO pay us l23 cents
per week, and the requisite amount of ad
yertising we have no doubt but can be easily
obtained. We shall call upon our citizen:
and business men with reference TO it, anC
az soon as The number Of subscribers above
mentioned shall have been procured, &c
the daily will make its appearance; and wt

a heavier draft upon his means than will, il

and gowns, were subjects of awe TO the
common mind, and the common mind new
er aspiredto even The portals which closed
in such darkness, the mysteries of the pro-
feSsion. Now, so well has the common
mind come TO comprehend those principles
upon which the law is based, that all awe
and all mystery is dispelied, and lis profess
sors are left 10 the common ranks; indeed
without detail as to reasons, the time has ar
rived, when with very itle research every
man may be his own lawyer. Bat it is not
so much from the fact Of the common mind
having reached an understanding Of the
principles Of law, we argue The decline of
the profession. 1t is that this elevation of
mind necessarily tends 10 the abrogation of
a great many sources of litigation; it has
done so, aud we infer that further progress
will continue TO tend TO that result; and
there we find mlinly our reason for the O.
pinion ofthe decline Of the profession. AS
connected with the subject, may we not ask.
is it not the popular mind now ripe and rea-
dy for further reforms. We yet from the
existence OF laws which ue consider unnec.
essary pay immense sums every year use.
lessl y--enough TO make in few years the
country comparatively wealthy. That we
may dissolve such laws safely is not an idea
confined TO ourse!f alone, by any means; FL

we allude, expresses The opinion that il vii

appalling evils Of litigation which we nov

RACINE MAIL RoUTEs.-We are desired
10 present the compliments Of the citizens
Of Racine TO the editor Of the Southport
Telegraph,in acknowledgement Of the rery
neighborly and gratutous interest he seems
TO take, in advising the Post Office Depart
ment TO discontinue one Of tie mail routes
recently established from Racine TO the
southwest. Our citizens can fully appre-
ciaie his disintcrested efforts in This re spect
and should he continue 10 bestow them, they
may feel bound TO reciprocate the fauor, by
enlightening the Department with regard
to some of the Southport mail arrange
ments. Racine Advocate.
If it were strictly parliamentary, we
should be tempted TO cal the Col. most
unmitgated Ass. We stated week or
two since that that portion Of The mail
route from Racine 10 Geneva, west Of Sa.
lem was source Of use!ess expense. 5Wha,
are the facts. AT Salem, the route meets
the route from Souhport.to Geneva; anc
from that point through the carriers irave
over precisely the same ground, on the
same day, and about the same hour; ant
moreover it is not an unfreqent thing foI
them to occupy the same carriage: Is it
Col, or is it not useless source Of expense
When we made the remark we had no.
The most remote idea that even if that por.
ton OF the route west Of Salem were aban.

that any person there would care fig a
bou, it, and we don't now believe they do

Why does the Milwaukee Sentinel per
vert our opinions on the subject Of the
Milwaukee Insurance Company? Ii says
we no longer pretend the company is insol.
vent, thereby conveying the idea that we did
once contend so, but now admit its solven.
cy. Ii we recolect right we never ex
pressed any opinion on the subject of its
solvency, either one way or the other, fol
we never knew any thing about it. Our
opposition to the lnsliluIionlis and has been
based on the principle that it was totally IT.
responsible, ssand that all past experience
ter plunder those who place confidence in
| item. TO be sure, we have our doubts
whether the institution could redeem all IFS
notes if they were at once presented at lis
counter; but3 perhaps they could. This
however IS not the thing, 1t is their liter
CT now to keep up a show Of honesty. BY
and-by circumstances viii change, stock
holders may desire TO invest their capital
elsewhere, and it may then be their Interest
10 do Otherwise. Where then m ~ be the
