Dy@In 1856 there were thirteen States in this
Union, twelve OF which werve slave and one
Tree. In 1861 there are thirty-four States ami
seven Territories nineteen Of these States and
six of the Territories are free, and two other
States which now recognise slavery-Dela-
ware and Maryland will undoubtedly soon
be free States also. In five years from now
the SIX territories Will be ready to come into
the Union as States, under free labor lonstitu-
tons, and we shall then have twenty-seven
free States to thirteen slave States. Yet The
freedom shriekers are not satisfied with this
rapid progress and growth OF free territory
They are not content with anything sholt of
the destruction al this glorious country for the
sake OF getting hold OF the spoils, over which
they are now engaged in such a fierce squab-
BILE at Washington.

A RICH STORY.

Some time since, when Jackson county was
III its infancy, ard the natives were governed
by laws by them enacted and enforced al will,
there was character among them known as
hddling Joe. This man Joe was character
not at all known among The s'cane biters" as
being devoid of fear, particularly upon the
subject OF future punishment, being the offspring
OF rough though Christian parents.
The Methodist Church, with its usual care
for those who are unable or unwilling to en-
ploy ministers or purchase Bibles for the dis
| semfnation OF Christian truths among them,
sent MISSIONARY to furnish the inhabitants
with Bibles and preach the Gospel for their
benefit.
On bright Sabbath morning, IN The nieas-
ant month of May, the minister, in passing
from one appointment to another, came upon
the aforesaid Joe, sitting astrIde log, playing
favorlte tune OF "Soap Suds Over the Fence"
10 his entire satisfaction and that of sOd Ring
who wagged his tail in appreciation of his
masters endeavors. The minister approached
and quietly addressed the fiddler
"My friend, ale you not aware that you are
dong wrong-that you are violating the teach
ings OF the Bible by playing your fiddle 10
day %
"WelI, dunno says Joe.
"Then lei me inform you, my friend, that
you will be called 10 account for this violation
of the ordnance 9f the Bible at the day OF
Judgment"
Joe (excitedIy. Hold on there, parson, you
have bit on the very thing want 10 ask you
about. want TO know, is there but one day
of Judgment!
''No, my friend, there is 10 be but one day
when all men are 10 be judged according TO the
deeds done in The body"
Joe (resuming his favorite pastime. Well,
old boss, you can pass on. am safe enough
if there 'aint but one day of Judgment, for
there's an old cock-eyeI Judge for the Coun-
try Court 10 these parts, who has the brown
critters, and will die just atore me, and Pm rea-
dy to swear his case will take up that day,
sure.
The parson, of course, passed on.

FIRST AMERICAN PoETRY.-There are few
girls o: boys in this country who have not heard
the nursery rhyme sung by their mothers while
rocking the cradle
Lula-by baby upon the tree top;
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come cradle, baby and all.
But how many OF you know the origin OF
the simple lines? We have the following ac-
count from the records of the Boston Historical
Society. Shortly after our forefaihers landed
at. Plymouth, Mass, party were out in the
fields where the Indian women were picking
Strawberries. Several of these women or
squaws, as they are called, had papooses, that
is babies, and having no cradles, they had them
tied up 10 Indian fashion, and hung from the
limbs OF the surrounding trees. Sure enough,
"when the wind blew" these cradles would
rock. Ayoung man of the party observing
this, peeled over piece of bark, and wrote the
above lines, which were, il is believed, the first
poetry written in America.-.4merican .Agri-
culturiSt.

That state Hole.

We learn from the Mineral Point IN.
telligencer that application is again TO BE-
made to the Legislature for an approp,ia.
ton from the State, this time only $50, 900,
TO dig hole in the ground TO test the
lower lime rock, as to whether it bears
mineral and how much. We again pro
test. Let the test be made up among the
Wisconsin and Mississippi bluffs where the
lower rock out crops aud where the bumps
are bald and clear of surface RUBBISH
Why DIG 200 to 400 feet deep, when the
same rock may be looked into by day
light, without expense We do not be-
Iieve that any old, practical miner-free
from interest in such appropriation or the
promise Of reward, and uninfuenced by
friends, has any faith in the lower mag
nesian lime rock; considering also water
and expense, such miners condemn med
ding with the lower rock. We repeat
what we affirmed years ago, that this
whole matter of calling for State aid for
such work is, in our candid opinion, de-
signed for speculation and is conceived in
the barren womb Of men past labor and
living in the natural WY Of industry; Of
course such could afford ultimate disap-
'pointment and popular ridicule for tempo
rary glory and the handling Of $4,000,
an amount which can but lead to another
$3o,ooo-then 100000, and fually to
the slandering Of the State for not appro-
priating another small sum to finish the
hole and consummate this most glorious
inverted monument Of State pride

up, burned his papers, and kept him close
TIL the next train started, when he was put
on board and "tcketed through" to Mil
waukee. In the course Of his visit, and
WITHOUT stating the nature of the mort
cages he desired TO foreclose, he called on
the editor Of the Prairie du Chiene Couyi-
en-, and made arrangements for the publ
cation of the foreclosure notices. This
leaked out, and body of mortgagors wait

Treason IN the Senate.

Last week, Senator Toombs of Georgia.
took the floor, and edited the Senate and
galleries with a disunion war speech. He
breathed fire and fury. Georgia, be said
was on the war path,' and there is no set
tlement short of her full rights. The Union
is dissolved, that is fixed fact. From
your capitol to thoa}io Grande, you hear
the tramp Of armed iegions, who have APP
pealed to the arbitrament OF the sword
Before you stands as good traitor and
rebel as ever descended from Revolutionary
tory loins. lie demanded that the gen
eral Government should protect slavery in
the Tenitories-if this right was denied,
for one he would go forth with torch in
one hand and a dagger in the other, and
appeal to the god of battles, though a rope
might be around his neck. Many Of the
men Of the Revolution lthe tories) were
Opposed to tue formation of the Union, and
he was satisfied they were wise men. lie
would strike with the sword now to sever
the bonds, unless slaves were put on the
same footing of all other ''propsrty"-vthich
if done would open the African slave trade
and carry slavery into all the Free States.
