For the NlinneSotiau.


1t is iitful Autumn rain,
Beats coldly on the summer green,
Chilling our tranced hearts,
All flushed with summer Shden;
Waking us from golden dream
OF youth and summer lowers,
Entering like phantom dark,
These trembling hearts OF ours
And the wind does sigh so heavily
Against my window pane,
And the shiverng flowers are weeping
For summers breath again.
Oh a sad thing is Autumn rain,
After the rosy August days;
For il stains with red the summer leaves,
And ali it stains, decays.
My heart is yearnng Ike these flowers
For bright spot in the sky,
1t yearns TO rise through these frownng clouds
And in the sunlight lie
For beyond these moching canopies
The sunlight softly rests,
And the flowers bloom eeer sweety
For Heavens invited guests.

Things went on in this way, while
for want of my attention to the rooms,
and to the comfort of guests, his Gus
tom began to fall off until he saw that
he should be broken up and ruined if
he did net have some faithful servant
to attend to the house. Self interest
at length got the mastery fhis temper
and he sent doctor to me. But he
came too late, my constitution was
completely broken up. I am not worth
to day half as much as I was one wear
ago. If had been wise in youth
should be free man now. But I am
too old to think of buying myself-and
I must die slore.'

killed out by the curse, it is in the case
OF this man Henry. \ ours truly,

REMOVAL OF THE STATE CAPITAL

REMOVAL OF THE STATE CAPITAL.-
We find the following in the Madison
Journal Of the 5th inst:
The committee on State affairs. in the
Senate, to which the subject had been
referred, reported on the proposition to
remove the State Capitol last evening.
The majority report, signed by Sena-
tors Proudtit and Bean, was against
the removal; the minority report, sign
ed by Sen. Davis, was favorable to the
removal.
Sen. Hanchett has introduced prop
osition to substitute "Stevcns Point
for ''Fort Winnebago" in the bill. He
holds that the onl Y argument that can
be properly urged for the removal from
the present site, is, that the Capital
should be located at the geographical
center Of the State. Fort Winnebaoo
is but little nearer that point than Mad
ison.
We do not apprehend that there is
any serious disposition, on the part of
any considerable number of the mem
bers of the present Legislature, to favor
either OF these propositions.
We concur that Fort Wmnebago is
but little nearer the center than Madi-
son. Whenever a move is made, we
expect to see the Capital coming up
this way.

A message has this moment reached
me from Fort Scott, giving the most

sentenced to be shot Eight rufflans
took him TO the timber and drew lots
to see who should commit the Decd

ly shot him dead, for no offence, but his
opinion. The District Court is broken
up. Judge Williams dares not have
Free State men come there The {.
S. soldiers join the guerillas nights, IN
known to the officers, to scour the coun-
try. Seven have been convicted ofthis
offence.
Nearly all the settlers, of all parties,
have left the Little Usage Valley
Eight wagon loads Of Free State set
tiers left in one company last week,
who tell the most horrible tales of their
sufferings. Mapleton, the settlement
of the Vermont colony, is nearly deser-
ted. Men are shot down in cold blood
without provocation, and all the hor-
rors of the Shannon war are now felt
by that distracted neighborhood-
Such is the reward Of a garrison of
troops when they only aid the tyrant.

"a The Washington corresponds

"a The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune says, Douglas
is anxious to be again reinstated in the
good graces Of the Democracy and the
proposition is now under discussion
among the leading members of the par
ty whether he shall be received again
into the communion of the caucus
The probabilities are in favor ofhis be-
ing welcomed back, as just now the De-
mocracy don't feel able to repel any
person who desires to help them. On
the other hand, the same correspond
ent says, that Harris, of Illinois, the
leading anti-Lecompton Democrat Of
the House avows himself complete
convert from Democracy, being salts
fed that the party is thoroughly de-
bauched by slavery.
Douglas made terrible mistake in
separating himself from the body Of the
Democracy on Lecompton, if he ever
intended again to act with that party.
He may go back, but if he does he will
be the first man to fall with the falling
fortunes of the party, and the last TO
rise, should it ever meet with resur-
rection. He has blazed for a season
like a rocket-he comes down like
stick-and poor stick at that-of no
further use for any purpose.-Eree

Rates Of Legal Advertising.

Some time ago, Senator Hanch EFT
introduced a bill to increase the rates
Of legal advertising, which bill has
passed. the Senate. In the House, it
was referred to a committee who made
a favorable report, from which we ex-
tract the following pithy remarks. The
bill has probably become law. 1t
provides that all legal advertising, ex-
cept sales for taxes, shall be published
at so cents folio for the first insertion
and 80 cents for each subsequent one
The fee for publishing delinquent tax
lists Is increased TO % cents per de-
scription. We consider these rates
fair compensations, and the press owe
thanks to Sen. Hanchett and the House
committee in particular, and the Leg
islature generally, for this attention to
their just demands. The following is
the extract alluded to:
The present rates are admitted by
all who are acquainted with the subject
to be below the average of any fair
compensation. SO much so, that if the
rates for all advertising was reduced to
the same level, no newspaper could
sustain itself.
our committee can see no reason
why the law should sanction such a
wrong. We are not aware that print
ers and newspaper proprietors are a
class of so little use in the community,
or So destructive of its interests as to
be entitled to but half compensation for
the labor and services which they per
form. But your committee do believe
that no class Of men perform more gra-
tultouS services for all general and local
interests, or are more actively and eff
fectually engaged in disseminating in
formation, making known the resources
OF the country and melting to action
the energies of 4 civilized people, than
the printers, proprietors and editors OF
newspapers.
We also regard the intelligence oil
the people, as the greatest safeguard OF
the liberties of the people, and that the
individuals who are engaged in the dis
semlnatlon of that intelligence, should
not be ncedlessly and cruelty oppressed.
Your committee cannot resist the
conclusion that the present proud posi-
ton Of the State of Wisconsin, is to a
great extent the result Of the continued
and unwearied labors of those conncc-
ted with its newspaper press, and If
gratitude is not thought to be a suffi
Gent reason for giving them a fair com
pensation for their services, q spirit OF
justice at least ought to produce such a
result.

sB There is some discussion, in
Wisconsin, relative to the removal of
the State Capital. We notice that
among the central and eligible sites
named, is kilbourn City, the city made
by, and the present residence Of Alan
son Holly, Esq, formerly editor of this
paper If, as is more than probable, a
new State is formed out Of the North
part Of Wisconsin and Northwestern
Michigan, then kilbourn City would be
a central location.- Wyoming Go. (N.

Whew! what an amount of informa-
ton contained in the above. Instead
of Kilbourn City being centrally loca-
ted should a new State be formed,
"a contamination very improbable) it
would be included in the old State of
Wisconsin. Why, friend, it is south of
the geographical centre. Grand Rap

records the sad ease Of a young and
talented Methodist preacher, who was
attending the conference at Lacrosse,
where he was tempted into drinking 8
glass, of beer, which renewed a thirst
for strong drink which had possessed
him i'll his unregenerate days, and led
him into indulgence until he became
drunk. He turned his back on the
Conference, and the Republican says

A TRAvELER's IDEA OF WIsCoNsI

A traveller IDEA OF WISCONSIN.
Wisconsin is my choice, for the fol-
lowing reasons: First-good water, a
healthy climate, plenty of wood; all
kinds Of grain and fruit grow in album
dance; an intelligent population rail
roads traversing all parts of the State;
and a home market at almost every
door. 1t is interspersed with lakes and
streams, and abounds with fish and
game. The time is not far distant
which will witness the value of all the
middle of that State, at fifty dollars per
acre.
The pineries are supposed to be less
in value than the prairie and oak OPEN
ings. This is not so at present. There
are lands there now that cannot be
purchased for $500 per acre. There,
are now more than 5000 single MAX
ers. lnmbermen and others, in these
dense forests aud il shingle maker,
with his machine, cannot make his $40
a day, and drink his quart of whiskcy,
he won't work. The single makers
frequently pay five to eight dollars for
a single tree.

6" We are glad to notice that the
votes Of both the Wisconsin Senators
were recorded against the annual APP
preparation tomaintain that aristocrat-
ic, useless, and mischievous military III
stitution at West Point. If our GOV
eminent could be prevailed on to be-
stow one half the amount to promote
the arts of peace that it does to pro-
mote war, peace would be perpetual;
or indeed, if it could be prevailed on to
withdraw its support from war and let
peace take care Of itself it would be All
sufficient That we have a war occa-
sionally is not near as surprising as
that we are not involved in war contin-
ually, when we consider the untold mil
lions government devoted annually to
stimulating it. We care not who ut
tered the sentiment Gin time of peace
prepare for war'-it is a pernicious
sentiment, which in it's application
breeds war as inevitably as filth breeds
vermin. In time of peace prepare for
continued peace, for that to which we
devote ourselves we will probably
achieve.-Free Dem.

PRINTING OF THE REVISED STAT
uTEs.-We see by the proceedings Of
the Senate, that the judiciary commit
tee, to whom the matter was referred,
have reported that in their opinion the
State printers are not entitled to the
printing of the Revised Statutes under
their contract for public printing. The
report was prepared by Senator Chase,
chairman Of the committee, and is an
able and thorough review Of the whole
subject. His reasoning is clear and to
the point, and we believe the Senator
will be sustained in his conclusions by
the entire press of the State.
