wisconsin Marine and Fire Ins Co.

The following remarks are from the New
York Tribune. 1t is probable, from COM
pairing all the accounts, that short time
since, there was in circulation about one
million and a half of the paper of the above
Company-whicE consists of one man. All
will see that no one man unrestrained by
law, should be allowed to hold in his hand
the fate of so much indebtedness. If one
man can wildcat it in this way, every other
man has the same right, to the extent of his
credit, real or imaginary. A worthless cur
rency would soon be the consequence, and
the public certainly have not yet forgotten
the lessons of experience taught by a shin
plaster moned calculations.
"The run at the West, ON the Wisconsin
Fire and Marine insurance Co., appears to
have nearly ceased. Mr.. George Smith,
the owner of this concern, made strenuous
efforts to place all his agents in funds to
meet the run, and has thus far succeeded in
redeeming all the notes presented. The
circulation was 100000 to 100000, for
which Mr.. Smith made himself personally
reponsibible and pledged very large amounts
of real estates, reported million and a half
for the purpose of raising funds to meet the
run. Every note presented at St. Louis, the
money counter of the " est. was redeemed
by Messers, E. w. Clark & Brothers and o.
liver Lees Bank at Buffalo redeemed all the
notes in circulation there. The excitement
in Milwaukee and Chicago was at one time
very great, but has subsidized. Mr.. Smith
is very wealthy, and if he chooses, could
probably redeem the notes he is responsible
for, but the currency is strictly shnplas.
ter one and directly in opposition to the
character OF, the Company. Its a dan gerous
currency as resting entirely on the RESPONSE
bility of one man, and like several ofthe New
Jersey shinplaster concerns, the sooner it is
wound up by Legislative action the better il
will be for the public. Wisconsin should
enact free banking law like that Of this
State, and give its citizens perfectly good
currency with ample security in the hands
of the State authorities for its redemption, and
then drive out the irresponsible individual
issues with which the State is now flood
cd.''

RAILROAD MEET1SGs-We have received
the proceedings of Railroad meeting held at
Mac Gregor in Clayton county, on the 25th ult.
but too late for this weeks publication.
We perceive by the resolutions that another
Convention is recommended to be held at some
future time. We would suggest that union of
interest and feeling could be effected by our
northern neighbors sending delegates to the
Iowa City Convention to be held on the 10th of
January. We shall publish their proceedings

HThough we have more of gambling,
drinking, and the multifarious host of their

find yourself next Sabbath morning in my
desk, and about to preach discourse which
was not the result of your best efforts, the
fruits of many toilsomc, painful, thinking
hours, single glance at those before you
would make your shudder. Your eye might
meet the scrutinizing gaze of the expert
enced traveller, conversant with men and
things Of every cline; the meditative look
of the learned professor, the piercing appre-
hensive glance ofthe well-skilled CONNER
cialist, the sagaciouS features of the projec
tor and speculator; in short, men Of high at
tainmcnts of every agreeable, useful or or
namental life, who would grace the best cir
Gle in any town or city in the States; the
choicest spirits and most highly cultivated
minds Of the thousands upon thousands who
have come from the best society on the con-
tinent. While preach in my own tongue
wherein was born, the wonderful works

She is not dead but sccpct: Death placed
His seal as lightly on her brow the foaIn-cap
Rests on the Ocean wave.

Seemed, as her bright eye closed forever on
Her transient home.
She faded from earth like the last star of

Linger round the lovd below? Or hast sped
To some bright star far in the pathlcss'

Wandering beside the silver river which lavcs
Its pearly banks within the city of the
Emerald gates?
There are those whose hearts like bruised
Reed are waiting to be broken-blt tlou'rt
Taken ere weary of the world: then would'st
Have been glad TO 60.
But In thy welcome there, forget not to
Tell my message to tho lov'd and lost.
Tell them | love them stli-that the dark gravo
Cannot erase affection, blot out the memory
OF other days. And ifthc blcst can walk the
Earth unseen, come to me in the hour of dreams
and tell me of their weal-say if the loved forget
