The Habeas Corpus Case.
Madison, July 7. IS5z

Mr.. Editor Nothing is done here now
a-days but talking about the Fugitive
Slave Law" It has monopolized the SUI
preme and District Courts, and carried a.
way the whole bar in the fierce vortex Of
discussion. [ have no doubt the Supreme
Court will declare the law to be unconsti-
tutional, if they decide at all. No Court
ever yet could surmount such weicht of
argument, reason and authority as now
presses against this enactment. Daniel
Webster, in his 18th Of March Speech. de-
clared that he always believed that the
Constitution delegates the power of deliy-
erlng fllgitives from labor to the States
and declared that he believed so STILL
But he submitted to authority, and bowed
to the Shareholder. He laid his head
down IN the lap of the Southern Della
and he awaked to "shake himself as afore-
time But his treacherous captors put
out his eyes, and compelled him to grind
III the prison house. His beard grew no
more, and the great Constitutional Samp-
son died without revenge. In Jack VS..
Martin in Il Wendell, Chancellor Wal
worth declares that Congress has no RIGHT
to leglslate on the tradition Of fueitiyes
from justice or labor. The argument and
decisions on the other side rest entirely on
usage and acquiescence. Even if there
vas any force N this argument, the fact is

Considering the transportation facilities

low if not lower, than the St. Louis Hou-

other way, Galena is far in the lead and

FataA ARRAY at NIcGreag0r.

Last Friday Johnson G. Walton was
stabbed in the throat by a young man,
named John White, and died almost in
stantly. The particulars, as we have lear
ned them, are as follows:
Sometime last May, Walton lost five
dollar bill under circumstances that led
him to suspect White of stealing it.
White left McGregor soon after, and did
not return until few days since It was
intimated to him that if he did not settle
with Walton he would not be permitted
to leave town. He thereupon went to E.
vans store, where Walton was, and called
him out They walked apart from the
crowd, and were heard in alteration a
bout the lost money. Walton told White
that he could not leave town until the af
fair was settled. White denied having
taken the money. Walton contradicted
him. White then called Walton id
liar. Walton thereupon seized White and
they went down together, Walton upper
most. White Immediately raised the cry
of murderl and upon the arrival of some
persons who where near, it was found that
Walton had been stabbed in the throat
with a small knife, and White was trying
to stay the FLOWING blood by holding his
thumb on the wound. White is said tc
have called on those present to stop the
blood and run for the Doctor. He was
examined before Justice V. r. Miller, and
committed to await his trial He is a
young man, not more than twenty years
of age Crawford Co. Courier.

WHEN TO Cur WHEAT.-A writer in
the Richmond (Va.) Wing maintains that
cutting wheat at the proper time is mat
ter Of more Importance than farmers are
generally aware Of When wheat is cut
from ten to fifteen days before it is ripe,
says the writer, the grain not only weighs
heavier, but measures more, being decided
ly better quality, and producing larger
proportion Of fine -four to the bushel. As
the grain ripens, the thickness Of the skin
rapidly increases, woody fibers being for
med at the expense of the starch and su
gar. BY this process the quantity Of the
flour is lessoned and It's quality deteriora-
ted. 1t is therefore all important that
wheat should be cut while sugar. gluten,
starch, water, &c, still constitute large
proportion Of the grain. The same reas-
oning applies to barley, rye, oats. &c
This is not theory merely, but the result Of
accurate and carefully conducted expert
ments, made both in this country and in Eu-
rope.

The trustees Of the society advertise for
proposals to convey 10000 persons this
year, and if necessary $4,000, (not $780,
O00.) The smallest number is no more
than the average yearly in immigration
from the East into Wisconsin. But no
encouragement will be given to more than
can be comfortably 'located" before winter
and many after locating their farm and
erecting their log hut, will return to spend
the winter with their families. 1t is not
probable that more than one quarter of the
fund subscribed will ever be wanted; five
dollars on a share will give $4,000;
which is twice as much as is necessary at
present The large number Of subscribers
will render it inconyenient to collect as
