THE WISCONSIN JUDICIARY. - Seeing in
Northern papers a dispatch alleging that the
Wisconsin State Judge who tried the Booth
habeaS corpus case, has decided the Fugitive
Slave Law to be unconstitutional, we have to
remark that the Supreme Judges of the United
States, (of the L. ). Supreme Court having
"a majority of them-the rest not having had
the question before them) decided the law to
be constitutional, the ruling of this Wisconsin
Lycurgus is not worth pinch of snuff in law.
The public may rest assured that the suprema-
cy OF the law of the land will be indicated
there, as elsewhere. 1t is understood here that
anticipating some such decision on tie part Of
this particular abolition Wisconsin functional
ry, the Attorney General Of the United States,
some time ago, determined on a course of pro-
ceeding which will insure the due trial of
Booth, for resistance of the United States Off
GERS engaged in executing the fugitive slave
law. If he does not Danish himself from the
United States, to some country where he can
not be reached under an extradition treaty. he
will be compelled, in the end, to answer for his
Olf,nce.- " aShtngton Union

An Affecting Sight.

In the Galena passenger depot on the clos
ing day of last week. sat Il man and woman,
apart from the crowd, close together.
Every one who saw them paused involunta-
rily to gaze. There was nothing remarkable
in their dress, unless it might be cleanliness,
but an air of grief, ofmournng, developed them
like transparent mantle. No founder of a
maison de deuH has ever been able to procure,
arrange, or even to imagine for his seeking-to-
appear-atiicted customers, Il drapery OF such
solemn woe. There is no substitute for it, no
approximation to it, and though skiliul hands
and cultivated tastes are frequently able to pro-
vide raiment in beautiful keeping with it.,
without it they are only Il prOianatation and u
mOckery.
As Va passed on, bordering what great grief
had cast a shadow on the pair, one OF the day
police c;.C.c by and said
Il saw you looking at those poor people just
now. They are from my country; have been
talking with them, and it is u hard story to
tell. His name is Stephen Cook and they are
on their way from Holland to settlement of
their friends at Pella, Iowa. They embarked
with three children, the pride of their parent
hearts. The voyage was long; the icebcrgs
surrounded the ship and held it fast fourteen
days, and before it was terminated. they had
dropped into the sea their two youngest idols.
The last, pretty little girl of eight summers,
died here in their arms to-day, in this cherries
depot, and they have just returned from the
burial to which no one accompanied them but
the undertaken, and when the train goes out
they will resume their journey, desolate and
alone" All! how few know the trials of the
emigrant-Chic0g ago Democrat.

The United States also have considerable

ourselves estimated the deficiency Of Yves

that we still have large margin. and tina.
we can get along without the cereals Of the

mediocre, not to say absolutely bad, because
cultivation in those countries is still in 0
state of barbarism Besides, thousand
reasons ought to decide US to desert southern
Russia and to prefer the United States
whose products are so much superior. In
the first place, the navigation of the Med

more dangerous than that Of the Atlantic

arrorLEcTIors OF WINCHESTER

The Southern Literary Messenger for
March contains, among its choice contribu-
lions. pleasant description OF an Excur-
sion to the Natural Bridge, which We no.

tract relative to the ilustrious men whose
names are connected with the earliest and
! most cherished associations Of Winchester
AZ had read and heard much Of the Nat
ural Bridge. and determined, 10 company
with nv family, to examine for myself this
wonderful structure. We set out on bright
and cheerful day Of the last autumn, and ar
rived at Winchester before night-fall This
is the largest town, except Wheeling west
Of the Blue Ridge. 1t was laid out IN Feb
ruary 1852. In November, 1888, the
Youthful Washington here prepared himself
for bis perilous journey to the Ohio by order
Of Gov Dinwiddie. Here were bis head
quarters for some time in the following year.
when several persons were murdered by the
Indians within one mile Of the town. After
the battle Of the Great Meadows be returned
here to recruit bis regiment, and when the
royal army was cut to pieces on toe banks OF
the Monongabela in 1856, he, with the sur
vivors Of bis brave companions IN arms, re-
treated to this spot, then tie scene OF in
tense excitement and constant danger. A
portion of the continental troops were can
toned near Winchester during our Rev
olution.
Here, too in 17I5, these very streets re-
sounded With the martial tread Of the rifle
corps of Morgan, clad in hunting shirts on
eecb Of which was interviewer in large le:
tiers Liberty or Death The wives and
children Of many Of these hardy yeomen
babe them last adieu. The next tidings
we hear of this patriotic band are, that they
have scaled the walls of Quebec in the
midst Of terrible snow Storm. and that
they are prisoners of war; but after their
exchange covered themselves with glory on
the plains of Saratoga. Not one of these
noble spirits remains
. They sleep their last sleep, they have fought
Their last battle,
No sound shall FAKE them to glory again"
Within my recollection, Winchester was
the theatre where some of the ablest lawyers
displayed powerful and extraordinary abil,

learning, the acute intellect, the untirigg in-
dustry oil the three judges Wnite, Cafr anu

ExS"Tbe jamestown Association of Wash.

of Virginia and their defendants, appealing
to them to celebrate in suitable manner the
anniversary Of the landing at jamestown, and
TO form associations which will annually re.
mind them of the facts connected with the
hrst permanent settlement Of the United
States; make known the transactions of
the past and place in true light the services
which their ancestors have rendered to liberty
and to mankind. The jamestown Association
OF Washington, has taken the initiative steo
because no movement was made in any other
quarter. Virginia ought to be the seat of
the principrl association, and all other asso
cations, having for their object and celebra-
ton of the settlement of jamestown ought
to DO auxiliary to it whether in towns or
States. And the society recommends such
course dlsclaming all intention to make Che
association of Washington the central ono
under the conviction that the head should he
at the capital Of Virginia.

is unfortunate our Minister there, does not

his appointment. 1t is added that the Amer
leans are in crowds in Paris, Sand present
themselves in great numbers to Mr. Mason
for presentation to tho E,aroror. At re-
cent levec our good-tempered Minister, at the
head of some thirty or more of his country

fore the group, "Permit me to introduce

more unfortunate error. He was New

acquainted with Louis Napoleon when in for
mer DAYS the latter was in that city. OF
