The New York Day Book, a warm oppon-
ent of Scott's election, says:
Every body knows, who knows any thing,
that the Wings out west have gone to work
energetically, OF late, for Gen. Scott, while the
democrats are turning their attention almost
entirely to the local elections. Ia this city
they are a great deal more anxious to secure
their aldermen and members of Congress than
the election Of Gen. Pierce, and the few who
do work for him are left to bear the burden
alone.
Another thing that has increased SCOTS
prospects Is the silly and ridiculous abuse Of
him by the democratic papers. The attacks
upon bis religion, the talk about his pay, and
the charge of cowardice, have done him more
good than all the wing papers in the country
ever can do him.

Battle Of the PeketOnica.

On our first page Will be found an in
/ teresting account of the Battle of the Pc
ketonica, foughto on the 10Th of June. 1882.
THIS sketch will form part ofthe History of
Wisconsin now being prepared by Gen.
/ VIM. r. Smith, and published in the Trib-
une that any inaccuracies which the writer
may have Inadvertently committed, may be
corrected, by others conyersant with the
circumstances. There are very many in
cidents connected with the early History
Of Western Wisconsin, that would be
equally interesting to the reader, and it
is hoped that the publication of this
sketch may have a tendency to bring
them out, that they may appear in their
proper place in the forthcoming History
Of our State
H%We are told by the author of the
sketch, that we have made some errors in
regard to names. It should read Bennett
Million. instead of " Burnett, Million. -
being but one man. Instead Of D5minack
NJ Grand, read " Dominacz M'Graw."
and for Devoe, read "Devee."

They were raised by Mr. Oliver Houls-
houser near Cottage Inn, and are fair

soil. No portion of the country is better
adapted to the luxurious growth of vege-
tables than Western Wisconsin. Many
are disposed to believe that the Mineral
Of this region offers the greatest induce
ment to emigrants. Such is not the case.
Although the mines of this portion of the
State are inexhaustable, her Agricultural
resources are soon to constitute the wealth
of the West. All who engage in this
business find it profitable, even at this
time, and the day is near at hand when it
will be much more so.

Sioux TREATY AGREED TD.-After some
weeks of eating, smoking aud talking, the
Sioux chiefs have all agreed TO sign the Trea-
ty as amended by the Senate. The Indians
at first declared that they would not consent
to giving up the reservation, and it required
considerable effort to induce them to abandon
that determination.
The Sioux are to have temporary possession
Of the reservation, and viii probably remain
there for some years. The reservation COM
mences at Little Rock, Minnesota river, some
40 miles above the Big Bend, aud embraces
ten miles each side Of the river from that
point 10 Big Stone Lake.
It is supposed that the Sioux Indians will
receive this fall, under old and late treaties
somewhere about $500, 200 in cash, besides
a large amount OF goods and provisions.

MY Own FIRESIDE.

l.zr others seek for empty joys,
AT ball, or concert, rout, or play;
Whist, far from fashions idle noise,
Her gilded domes, and trapplngs gay,
while the wintry eve away
'Twixt book and Lutte, the hours divide;
And marvel how e'er could stray
From thee-my own Preside!
My own Preside. Those simple words
Can bid the sweetest dreams arise;
Awaken feelings tenderest chords,
And fill with tears of Joy my eyes.
What is there my wild heart can prize,
That doth not in my sphere abide,
Haunt of my home-bred sympathies,
My own-ny own Ffesde
a gentle form is near me now;
A small white hand is ciasped IN mine /;
l gazed upon her placid brow,
And ask what Joys can equal thine.
A babe. whose beauty's hall divine.
III sleep his mothers eye doth hide;
Where may love seek inter shrine,
Than thou-my own tireside!
What care for the sullen roar
Qf winds without, that faYage earth;
II doth but bid me prize The more
The shelter OF thy hallowed hearth
To thoughts OF que; bliss give birth:
Then let the churlish tempest chide,
Il cannot check the blameless mlrth
That giads my own Flreside.
Ny refuge ever from the storm
Ofthis worlds passion, strife and care;
Though thunder clouds the sky deiorm,
Their fury cannot reach me there.
There all is cheerful, calm and tar,
Wrath, Malice, Envy, Srite, or Pride,
Hath never made lis hated lalr,
BY thee-my own trcside.
Thy precincts are a charmed rlng,
Where no harsh feeling dares lntrnde;
Where iite's vexauons lose their stfing;
Where even gretis half subdued;
And Peace, the halcyon, loves 10 brood.
Then, lei the pampered fool derlde,
I'll pay my debt OF gratitude
To thee--my own fireside!
SHINE OF my household deities'
Fair scene OF my heme's unsullled Joys.
To thee my bufthehed spirit iiies,
When fortune irowns, or care annoys:
Time is the bliss that never cloys;
The smile whose truth bath OH been tired
What, h,n, are this worlds tinsel oss
TO thee-my own fIfeside!
Oh, may the yearnings, fond and sweet,
That bid my thoughts be all oithee,
Thus ever guide my wandering feet
To Thy heart soothing sanctuary.

Let Joy or griet my fate betide;
