Correspondence Of the LevisburS Chronicle J
MADISON, Wis, April 20, 1854.

MADISON, Wis, April 90, 1854.
Mr.. EDITOR: After enduring the storms
and SHOWS Of winter of remarkable Sc
verify AMI length, We are enjoying one OF
the most delightful seasons. Spring, with
all her beauty, is here, changing nature
from the oscar and yellow leaf" to that
of vegetable life and beauty. The prairies,
which but short time ago, had the appca-
rance of wild and barren waste, are now
clothed with verdurc. All nature smiles,
and We anticipate summer as
"wen APP .r-lei April on the heel
Of liml.us Winter trcads"
The Legislature of this State adjourned
on the Sd inst The Prohibitory Liquor
Bill-as predicted in my last-was killed
by the Senate refusing to reccde from their
submissive clause, and gaspcd its last in
the hands Of a conference committee, thus
acquitting either House of directly causing
its defeat The Act Of 1858, abolishing
capital punishment, was repealed by the
passage of bill reviving the death penal
ty, and providing for the execution of per-
sons convicted of the crime of murder, at
the expiration Of ten years from the time
the murder is committed, during which
period the murderer is to be confined in
prison. The passage of this bill is certain
ly step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
The repealed law admitted the murderer
to bail, and, consequently, temporary free
dom, and frequently-if fortunate enough
toelude the summary proceedings of Judge
Lynch-rcsulting in his entire liberty.
The present law condemns him to certain
death, after enduring the suspense Of
half score years incarceration in a gloomy
cell, with his awful destiny constantly be-
fore him, that when he leaves what might
be termed his Ecing charnel house, it will
be but to be taunted by a moments SUM-
shine, and then die the murderer's death.
One is too severe-the other too lenient.
But the Legislature of the sovereign State
of Wisconsin, in their assembled wisdom,
have so willcd it, and its violators will
have to abide its workings. The recent
Legislature has certainly not been charac-
terized BY unanimity Of action, or de-
sire to do the "greatest good for the great
e.; number" but, on the contrary, by
reckless and profiga!e expenditure Of the
peoples money that has entirely superse-
ded all previous sessions, and has called
down on them the condemnation of a large
portion Of the press of the State, and Ger
tainly not without cause, for their appro-
priations Of money-principally to indi-
viduals-was prodigal, and, in many in
stances, to persons whose claims were very
doubtful, and hsd been rejected BY pssv;.

= II is well known that when the price of labor
Ms low in England, farmers find it to their ad-
vantage to preserve spade culture. The crops
are larger from sraded acre than from a
a plowed one, and the rate of this increase is
so well understood among many of the Eng
lish farmers, tibet they have price at which
they will always spade in preference to plow-
ing This is doubtless due to the fact that
ali che action of the spade is upward, and 1t
does not tend to compact the soil: wbe' cas-,
with the pillow, certain amount of force com
pressvely applied, must always be acting npon
the rolling furrow and an quail amount ~ the
the land side of the pillow; and it is for these
reasons that spade culture leaves the land in
better heart. Machines theu which initiate
more closely the action of the spade, than that

become valuable implements. They are at least
