Blue Sky.

When dreary rains have vailed the Day,
For many darkling hours,
Till birds forget their singing May,
AND bees their honeyed flowers:
How brishtens all the world anew,
Among the clouds alone,
If but single gem Of blue
By the wide Heaven is shown!
Blue sky Blue sky we cheerily cry:
Our joy awakens anew;
Our spirit, in the heavens high,
Sing, sky larks in that blue!
Blue Sky Blue Sky An open door.
Though small, can hold the sun
IT'S wide enough for Hope, once more,
To deem the storm is done
Blue Sky! Blue Sky If Sorrow fill
The soul with cloud and rain,
OFT times CLEAN of Heaven may thrill
The dark with light again.
The blue is laughing every where,
Beyond the sun is nigh:
The smallest door the heart can spare
Will rainbow all its sky!

HUNGARIAN Grass. This may be sown
from the middle of this month to the middle
Of June. If sown early it will give two
good cuttings. On deep rich mellow soil. the
crop Of hay will be heavy, and If the seed arc
allowed to ripen, it is AN exhausting crop
Those who want early as we'll as abundant
food to feed, either green or dry, will find
this answer well, and in the scarcity or
shortntss Of the hay crop. it will prove an
ample substitute.

economist the crop as such, you will of course
only cut it to use as green fodder as you may

PUMrKINs.-This Is a useful article of food
for mich COWS and hogs in the Fail. 1t is a
common practice to plant among the growing
corn. Apart from the draft they make there
upon the corn supplies, this method involves
good deal OF trouble in collecting and bring
ing to the feeding ground. A better plan is
to plant halt acre or more, as you may
deem advisable, near where You mean to feed
them. Manure amply in the hill and plant
ten feet apart.

THURSDAY EVENING, Jan, "a, 1861.
As the days and the weeks Of the win
ter roll onward, il is becoming more evi-
dent that the abundant products ofthe pasi
season, and the active demand for them at
the South, from the Eastern States and
from Europe, are placing the Northwest
in an independent position. The exports
of breadstuffs and provisions are Iargerthan
ever before, and the purchases here on
Southern account are steadily increasing.
Within the last day or two we hear Of sales
lof twenty-five hundred barrels of pork,
through st. Louis house, for the New
Orleans market. Were it not for our vii
famous currency, from the mischiefs OF
which may the Legislature deliver lis as
fast as possible, every hindrance to all rea-
lsonabe prosperity would be removed
With over-abundant crops of the very best
quality, and an active demand for them at
remuneratiye prices what more can a peo-
pie desire commercially to ensure the high
es. social progress
OF course no one can confidently predict
what political changes are before us, and
what ultimate effect they may have, but
from present prospects the secession bubble
must soon explode, for it is proving a mos,
disastrous speculation to those who have
engaged ia it, Their business is prostra-
ted, and both social and financial ruin are
threatening its projectors The insecurity
of person and property, the alarm and dis
tress that prevail at the South, will, it is
believed, within the next year or two, IN
|duce thousands of the best citizens there to
seek free and safe and prosperous homes in
the Northwest The seceSsionists do not
now appreciate the drain both upon their
capital and their productive energies, which
their insane rawlings will be quite sure to
produce. Their worst enemies could not
have desired severer punishment than they
are likely to bring down upon their own
guilty heads We are credibly informed
that hundreds Of families are preparing to
leave the South for the Northwest as soon
las they can possibly do it. Such an emf
Egration would create demand for our real
estate, and add largely to the activity. Of
every department oftrade. The South has
already injured herself immensely by drig-
ing away large numbers Of active, enter
prising men, because they were suspected
only Of holding Northern sentiments; and
for the last two or three months she has
been perpetrating the most transparent fol-
ly Of alternating the affections and probably
driving from her territory thousands Of her
best citizens. Her course can scarcely fail
to add largely to the population, the pros
perity, the business and financial resources

The Plan of Disunion.

Tue National Latelligeacer states that
a caucus was lately held in Washington,
composed Of the Secession. Senators from
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, and it
was arranged that they should assume ali
political and military power in the South,
and that they had advised the Conventions
now in session and soon to assemble to pass
ordinances for immediate secession; but,
lin order to thwart any operations OF the
Government here, the Congressman Of the
seeding States arc to retain their repre-
sensations in the Senate and the House
They also advised, ordered or directed, tbs
assembling Of Convention of delegates
from the seeding States, at Montgomery
on the 18th Of February, and it is sup
posed that theform of government adopted
will be monarchy. Further, it was de
termined to take the most effectual means
to dragoon the Legislatures Of Tennessee
Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas anc
Virginia into following the seeding States
and to appeal to the popular passion i
Maryland Thcv had possessed themselye
Of the telegraph, press, and Postmasters

from the main opening, all bearing min
eral. Time and ability for hard service
are the only boundaries to their wealth,
which is equally true of several others in
the neighborhood.
John b. Roberts d Go. are proprietors
Of new discovery, from which they are
taking 1000 daily. Of this lode failed
to obtain much information, only that it is
considered one Of the best.
Conyers q Co, are also working new
lode on lands owned by Vim. Cole: daily
product, 500 to 1000 lbs.
Arthur & Co. have a lode on Gov
Dewey's land, which trings them 1000 to
| / 800 lbs. per day.
Stephenson, Ehuttock d Co, have leen
working lode on Gov. Dewey's land,
averaging 900 lbs. daily; but they have
lust made a more valuable discovery, sey-
Ienty feet south of their old diggings, IN a
leave. It is represented that they have IN
sioht at least 10000 lbs. of mineral, partly
in water to the depth of five feet. This is
considered the finest discovery about town.
Henry Thomas & Co. are working a
new discovery on Dewey's land, which is
good for 900 to 1000 per day.
VIM. Barnett d Co. are working a new
discovery, supposed to be very good.
Peacock q Ritter own a rich lode, aver
aging 1000 to 1000 lbs. daily.
The above is scarcely a perfect list OF
the rich diggings; there are some others,
perhaps as good, and many that are con-
Isidered good prospects for lodes; there are
a large number of what the miners call
Ibread-ond-meat diggings; these yield to
their operators mere wages.
| Prospect mining accounts for the present
general prosperity of the Beetown mines
beginning with Brown who opened work
on new and untried land, others initiated
his example with like success, then others
and SO on until all appear to have lodes OF
fair prospects.
For some. months the water level has
Ibeen lower than for several years by one to
Eight feet. This is fortunate as some Of
1.-THE diggings could not be worked at higher
water.
The estimated cash product Of the Bee
town mines, including those Of Muscalung,
for the present winter is somewhere be
tween $4,000 and 100000, which mus
make money plenty about Beetown in spite
of secession at home Or peace in Europe.
In closing my imperfect notice Of the
Bee.own mines and miners, | will thank
Messrs. Lampson, Tuiley, Preston, Brown
and others for their kindness in many ways
and especially for their trouble in helping
me to the notes which have been used
in this lengthy article.
Before closing | must not neglect to add
that Brown & Co. have packed $4,000
lbs. of pork, in hogs averaging $50 lbs
Ietought Of Dr. Dodge hogs averaging
362 lbs, and 2 Of Mr.. Hine, each 444
lbs. The large number of successful min
ers about Beetown makes the place one Of
the foremost for business. CARTER.

RIcHr.-The present Legislature viii
probably appropriate sufficient sum tc
construct and finish another Of the pro
jected wings Of the State Capitol. This is
right; the people are tenfold able at pres
ent to stand the expense than they were
three years ago, and the work is sufficiently
needed to justify the expenditure. An ap-
preparation for this work three years age
when near half million tx was levied tc
pay old debts would have been criminal
extortion. Now such would not be the
case. Let the wing be added, only prop
erly guard against defective work and
against work which will have to be torn
away for deformity and reconstructed.

ILLINOIS ana w Wisconsin 6anlAll9.
The Illinois Legislature will probably
amend the banking law Of that State, or
enact new one, materially differing from
the old. State Stock banking, which is
probably the safest ever invented, is yet a
failure just when soundness is most wanted
in panic or other cause meddling with
the value Of State Stocks. Tt is probable
that any plan of banking resorted to by IL
hnois win prove worse failure than the
present.
In our own State, the legislature viii
probably apply some tindering process
which will be damage TO the people and
