There are many who begin to look upon the
dissolution of Union, and the dsmemberment
of our government, "a very probable result, and
this probably may be the reason, why so many
think the sinking ship lawful plunder. There are
many things to deplore: yet we think our govern

ride prosperousiy over all the troubled waters
which lash it now /; and that neither we, nor our
children, when our eyes are raised upon the sun
for the last time, will see it looking down on the
broken fragments of once glorious republic
The most encouraging feature in the prospect OF the
future is, that God still continues to extend over
us his protecting He has gwen us plenty.
No citizen of this country goes forth to his daily
occupation under the withering and depressing IN
fuence Of hunger and want. Famine has not IN

most important question likely to grow on

grown out Of the position of financial and
commercial affairs in Europe generally. and
Great Britain particularly, is the probable
eflectuponthe financial system of the world.
The effect npon the currency of this coun-
try will be very triaing, not of the nature,
or to the extent the leading capitalists OF
England anticipate and desire. We have a
specie currency, and so long as we adhere
TO it, the current of the precious metals will
be in instead of out, to instead of from u.s.
Fhe fnanciers of Great Britain will be ex-
ccedingly disappointed IN the result of the
money crisis in their own country upon
this. individuals here may be serious sui-
lerers, but the system of finances which
has in such short time become so firmly
established, cannot be shaken by any of the
revulsions which may take place in Europe
for all time"

MosT ATRoCloS MURDER-Our citizens
were startled a day or two since by the
discovery of a mostdiabolical murder which
had been committed in this county. The
circumstances as weget them are these. On
Thursday, the 18th inst. 4 German named
Charles kohlman, residing OF Clark $ cor
ners, Dane, =. o. sixteen miles northwest
of Madison, left home with the intention of
going to Milwaukee to buy a wagon. He
took along a yoke of oxen, and had about
his person, about $l40 in gold coin. The
oxen returned home on the afternoon of the
day OF his departure, and suspicion was at
once aroused that he was murdered. A
search was instituted and kept up, until last
Tuesday about noon, when his body was
found in a clump of bushes, about six rods
from the road, and a mile and half from
home. He had been shot through the arm
and neck, his throat cut, and money gone.
From the appearance of things, ii appears
that after the preparation OF the horrid
deed, the murderer had deliberately united
a rope attached to the oxen, tied it round
the murdered mans feet, htched il in the
chain, and very coolly dragged the body TO
the spot where ii was found.
Several circumstances served to lasten
suspicion upon one Jacob Gross, French
man residing in the neghborhood He
was arrested, searched, and the money of
kohlman found in his trunks, with the
keys in his possesion.-We are informed
that he has since made confessions which
leave no doubt Of his guilt. He now lies
in our jail awaiting his trial. Madison

To patient industry inclined,
For business always ready.
Good careful habits well intixcd;
And judgment acting clearly,
To slit out truth with error mixed
Though it should cost him dearly.

Who, when he earns can save it
Who kindly soothes the cares OF life,
(Best gift Of him who ga'eit)
lie wants a snug and tidy farm,
And health and strength together
A house and barn to keep all warm
In cold and rainy weather.
Heavens blessing then must crown the whole
Or all his hopes arc blasted

The purest joys are tasted.

To those the world calls greatest;
