Sickness in THE INDIANA laih.--A
mysterious disease prevails among the 10th

No Drafting in Wisconsin
MADISON, Sept. 20, 1861.

MADISON, Sept 20, 1861.
FRIEND CovER:-I observe the follow
ing paragraph, beaded as editorial 10 your
last paper, just received:
"The Governor is sending to counties
for the names Of men between the ages Of
Is and As and able to perform military
service; the design is doubtless to order
sheriifs to draft for men. We think ii will
be so managed that only such counties,
perhaps towns, as lave failed to send their
proportion Of volunteers will be cllled on
to draft"
The statement has appeared in scveal
papers Of late, but no such action has
been taken by the Government. The pat
riotic people Of Wisconsin do not need to
be drafted yet; they are rapidly filling up
the regiments and batteries called for
more rapidly indeed than we can get equip
ments ready for them. See what has been
done since Bulls Run-I might say since
harvest, for we could do nothing during
harvest:

The People With Fremont.

Ihe PeOplc With Fremont.
The recent modification by the Prcsi-
dent, of Fremont's proclamation, is draw
inc out almost universal censure, some Of
which finds vent in Remuneration, some in
fault-fnding. and still other in irony, par
taking of the humorous, of which the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Tribune is a
specimen !:
Major .SlemDser's Outrageous Pro
ceediags.--I am no statesman, bnt would
it not be light under the present aspect Of
affairs, to suggest to the general govern
ment the propriety of resuscitating by gal
yanic or other means, the corpses Of the
rebels whose lives lately found the just
penalty at the hands ofMajor Slemmer
Justice and the necessities Of war OF
course demanded their death, but there
aoos no Ian for ii, and the punishment
was too severe, and Ill accords with the
temper of the government, as shown in Its
late ACT in regard to the proclamation OF
Gen. Fremont. Let us have reason in all
things, and at this time less circumlocution.
If rebels and traitors are to be served with
''sugar-coated pills" instead of sour grape
shot, why, the sooner those who are lend
ing their means towards the construction
ofthe latter are informed Of the fact, the
better.
In addition to the above, possible cor
respondence which might have taken place
from the slave Lewis, who was set free by
Fremont, is published in the Tribune, and
it takes off the President pithily and aptly

Thc Reward. Of industry.

[From the Carlisle (England) EXaininer.l
AS an instructive example of what it is in
the power of working men to do to educate
themselves, and as furnishing an eXtraordina
ry instance of the pursuit and acquisition Of
knowledge under difficulties, we give the fol
lowing brief sketch of the life of Mr. j. A.
Langford, a working man OF birmingham, and
the author 'ot numerous instructive works.
Mr.. Langtord, though now holding the posi-
tion of secretary to the Astor Hall Park Com
pany, in the above named town, has, until
within the last two or three years and up to
the time when his talents and acuuirements
secured for him his present situation, worked
as a chairmaker and printer, he, in addition to
all his other knowledge, having learned both
trades.
He was born in Birmingham, in the year
1928, his father being a chairmaker there, in
very humble circumstances. AT the age of
ten, when lie had barely learned 10 read and
write, the necessities of his parents compelled
them to withdraw him from school, and put
him to work to assist in maintaining the fami.
lv. He was apprenticed to his fathers trade
the regular hours Of work at ii being from
AM to I p. NJ. But like many other sons
OF genius in the same condition, he was even
at that early age possessed with an unquench-
able thirst for knowledge, and he resolved,
since he could not hope for assistance from
others, 10 use his utmost efforts to educate
himself.
For this purpose he resolutely denied him
self all the little luxuries which are SO attrac-
tive to the young, and many OF the necessaries
of life as well, that he might gain the where
withal to purchase the necessary books, and
it hardly requires to be told that it was by no
means so easy for poor youth to purchase
or Other wise procure books, twenty years ago
as it is now. To enable him to do this more
efectually il was his practice, during the whole
period OF his apprenticeship, 10 work over
time from seven till eleven at night, after
which he engaged in study till two in the
morning, leaving himself only two or three
hours for sleep. And SO he went on for years
with unfaltering perseverance and determine
ton, making himself thoroughly acquainted
with the English Language and literature.
As soon as this was accomplished he turned

a PLEASANT INCIDENT.-A few days since
Il pleasant and touching incident occurred on
a train between this city and Boston. Among
the passengers were several wounded soldiers
from the battle of Balls Bluff. Most OF them
were gentlemanly and well behaved but two
of them had, in some way, heen supplied with
bottle of wliskey, the contents of which had
made them rude, and their conduct was evil
denHy very painful 10 their companions, On
the way, a little girl from Pennsylvania. about
eight years old, went up to the soldiers, and,
extending her hand, said II am proud of
you; want to shake hands with you" And
having shaken the hand of each one, she
turned to the noisy ones aud said: II cannot
bear'to see you drink that whslley it makes
you act as if you were not soldiers" Touch
ed by her kindness and tender remonstrance,
they Immediately threw away the whiskey,
and were perfectly orderly during the remain.

II 7 g r

By HENRY u. LoNGFELLow.
The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of night.
As feather is waited downward
From an eagle in its fight.
I see the lights of the village
CLEAN through rain and the mist,
And n feeling Of sadness comes DER me.
That my heart cannot resist.
a feeling Of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain,
But resembles sorrow only
AS the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me somc poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay.
That shall soothc this restless feeling
And Danish the thought Of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echoe,
Through the corridors of Time.
For. ike strains ofmartial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest,
LIES endless toiI and endeaYor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gush from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyclids start.
Who through the long days Of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse Of care,
And come Ike the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme Of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filed with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tent Ike the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
