s.Unitcd States Senator'S

We call attention To the correspondence III
snother column under the above tile, which is,
no doubt, in main, the sentiment oil the State.
We have regarded the reelection Of Mr.
Chandler as u matter understood, and hence,
have made no allusion to 1t. Not, however,
that we recognized any special issue III the
election of the members OF the Legislature who
arc To elect a Senator next winter--ior we be-
lieye there was but few, ii any, elected with the
special view to Senator,-but because the coun-
tIy and the time demands positive man, and
man who has pluck enough " stand up in
the Senate and say what hc thinks.
The issue was really radical and anti
radical. When Chandler made his speech IN
| the Senate on the conduct OF the war, zoe think
he made the browning effort of his life, and So
proclaimed it in this paper, while leading Re.
| publicans and Republican papers halted to fee
| the public pulse. AS the voice OF the commons
ality came numbering down their approval OF
| the cars OF the cautious extraordinary, there
| upon they began 10 appreciate the merit OF Mr.
| Chandler speech. Hence grew ''radlealism,
with Chandler the radical Senator" at III
| head and In the absence OF 10000 Republican,
now In the army, the radical principleis adopt
| ed in this State by 10000 majority. Yes
| Chandler ia To be our next Senator, of course.

THE REIGN OF TERROR ENDED.

Ever since the 18th of April, 1861, the
evsntful day when the American flag was
struck from the walls of Fort Sumter, to
the 4th day of the present month, the
people of the North were living under a
reign of terror, the exact counterpart Of
which, we imagine, was never witnessed
in the history of the world. 1t is yet
too early to review calmly the events
of this remarkable period, the existence of
which on the American continent could
have been predicted by no one, and which
in future ages, will be referred to with as
constituent and disgust. The future his
torian, as he dives into the public and
private records of this country for the past
nineteen months, tracing carefully each
step in the progress of the greatest civil
war ever known, must experience new
sensation as he recounts the successive
phases of the popular mind, and the ex-
traordinary expedients resorted to by the
Northern Government to produce unan-
unity of sentiment upon the grave ques-
tions involved in the contest. Since the
French Revolution, there has never been
anything like the same amount of fanatIcal
persecution or government interference
with the people for opinions sake as have
prevailed in the few months OF this So
called Republican dynasty. A more rigid
,lcspotism was neversestablished than that
upon which the people of several States,
embracing large area of the populous
territories of the Northern States, have
just pronounced decisive verdict YER
dict that must consign these unconstitu.
tional and illegal practices to the tombs OF
history, never again to be fastened upon
people who have repudiated them in the
most conclusive manner, through the me-
dunn of the ballot box. AS we stated be-
fore the late election, that voice must be
heard and needed, else it will soon be
manifest that we have no constitutional
government, only form, a mere fiimsy
excuse for usurpation, tyranny aud wrong
The voice of the people has been pronoun-
ced SO clearly, against these fragrant acts
Of injustice, violence and fraud without
warrant in Constitution or law, that to de-
ny its significance, or refuse to be govern
ed by it, could not fail to be productive OF
apopalar revolution, the results of which
might not be SO easily msconstrued by
any would-be dictators. The people OF
the North have patiently suffered the out
RACES inflicted upon them by the men IN
control of the government, awaiting their
great and only opportunity for redresslns

Plenty to Eat.

am worse than Noah's Ark-of course
1 mean in my capacity for taking in ami
mails. l will suppose that have reached
the allotted term of mans existence
three score and ten-that I have been
blessed with good digestion, and that I
have devoured three meals a day. Set
ting aside the forests of vegetables 1 have
destroyed, the panorama of my animal
consumption would take the regular ex-
hibition period of two hours to unroll.-
There l should stand at one end like the
Ark with open mouth, while every living
creature of the air, earth, or the sea,
would move slowly on in solemn process
sion, disappearing within my all,devour-
ing jaws. The weight of my individual
nourishment in tons would be something
awful, its value in sterling money might
reach 100000; and in one. horse wagon
loads it might number perhaps from 80
to 100.
Not content with the flesh of birds,
beasts, fishes, reptiles and insects, I must
seize upon their bones, and feed upon
their skins, even after the latter have been
converted into articles of clothing. Ivory
dust has long been sold as an excellent
article for jellies, and so have bones, hide
clippings and parchment shavings. No
wonder Professor Liebig tells me gelatine
would not sustain any man for a month
no wonder he tells me the only difference
between this deceptive luxury and joiners'
glue is its greater price no wonder we
pity the long army of helpless invalids
who have been fed with this glossy mock
cry; no wonder it trcmbles when it ap-
pears upon dish, 1t thinks what shame
les imposter it is; for old kid gloves and
older parchment deeds are often the only
ingredients of its composition. Glue and
scraps of gloves, boiled down with garlic,
are eaten by my Spanish neighbors, and
my South Sea Island brethren have made
good dinner before now from boiled
buckskin breeches stuffed with sea-weed.

INFLUENCE OF SYMPATHY.--A very
strange example of the influence of sym
pathy is reported to have occurred during
the battle at Pea Ridge. Col. Phelps,
while charging upon ravine, fell as if
dead, and his companions ran to him, and
asked him if he was hurt. He did not
answer, and it was soon discovered that he
had swooned. On reviving, he said he
must have been struck by ball, for he
felt pain in his left side, and distinctly
experienced the stunning and numbing
sensation that results from guu-shot
wound. His person was examined, and
no mark or indication of injury was per-
ceptible. He could not comprehend the
mystery, but soon after resumed the fight,
and forgot the sensation until he returned
to camp when he learned, to his surprise
and sorrow, that his twin brother George
was among the dead. George had been
in another part of the field, and had been
shot in the body, and at the same time
that Hiram had deemed himself MORALLY
wounded. The sympathy between the
two brothers had ever been complete, and
the illness of one was usually accompa-
MED by the sickness of the other.

A SINGULAR TEST OF FRIENDSHIP
An eccentric gentleman recently died in
Paris. Having a large number of friends,
and wishing to put their friendship to the
test, he directed in his will that should he
die between October and March, his funeral
should take place at 8 o'clock in the
morning, or at 6, should he die during the
o her months in the year. Invitations
were to be sent to all his friends. Each
male who attended was to receive 5000
francs, and each female 5000 francs
Four hundred invitations were accordingly
sent out, asking attendance at the funeral
at 6 o'clock in the morning, and out of the
whole number only 20 proved faithful
These were agreeably surprised few
days after, on receiving information that
5000 francs each was at their disposal at
their dead friends notary. The recipients
at once decided to give 1000 francs each
towards monument for the giver.

HE'S COMM G!

He's coming the blushing rose
Whispers it low to me,
And the starlight hastens with it
Over the twilight sea;
All trembling, the zephyrs tell me,
On the light winds hurrying past,
And my own heart quickly beating
Coming, coming at last.
The soft-lipped waves Of the ocean,
Gathering at my feet,
Breeze-borne from the coral island,
Murmur the secret sweet;
There's not q dew-steeped blossom,
Or glistening orange tree,
But furnish its leaves glee-laden,
To breathe this joy to me.
List that is the sound of rowing,
Stealing along the air;
| must gather around my temples
This weight of braided hair;
And trust to growing darkness,
And evening shadows dim,
To hide with their wings the traces
OF tears I've shed for him.

MUTUAL FoRBEARANcE.-Theh house
will be kept in turmoil, where there is
no liberation of each others errors. If
you lay single stick of wood on the crate
and apply fire to it, it will go out; put
on another stick and they will burn and
a half dozen sticks, and you will have
blaze. If one member of family gets in
passion and is let alone he will cool
down, and may possibly be ashamed and
repent. But oppose temper to temper
pile on all the fuel; draw in others of the
group, and let one harsh answer be fol-
lowed by another, and there will soon be
blaze that will enwrap them all.

The Walled Lake.

The wonderful Walled Lake is situated
in the central part of Wright county, To-
wa. The shape of the Lake is oval. It
is about two miles in length, and one mile
wide in the widest part comprising an area
of some 1000 acres. The wall inclosing
this Lake is over six miles in length, and
is built or composed of stones varying in
size from boulders of two tons weight down
to small pebbles, and is intermixed with
earth, The top of the wall is uniform in
height above the water in all parts, which
makes its height to vary on the land
side according to the unevenness of the
country, from two to twelve feet in height.
In the highest part of the wall measures
from ten to twelve feet thick at the base,
and from four to six at the top, inclining
each way-outward and inward. There
is no outlet, but the lake frequently rises
and flows over the top of the wall. The
lake at the deepest part is about ten feet
in depth, and abounds with large and fine
fish, such as pike, pickerel, bass, perch,
&c. The water is as clear as crystal, and
there is no bubbling or agitation to indi-
cate any large springs or feeders. Wild
fowl of all kinds are plenty upon its bo-
som. At the north end are two small
groves of about ten acres each, no other
timber being near. 1t has the appearance
ofhaving been walled up by human hands,
and looks like huge fortress, yet there
are no rocks in that vicinity for miles
around. There are no visible signs of the
lake being the result of volcanic action,
the bed being perfectly smooth, and the
border of regular form. The lake is sew
enteen miles from Boon river on the west,
eight miles from Iowa on the east and
about..one hundred miles from Cedar Rap
ids. 1t is one of the greatest wonders of
the West, and has already been visited by
hundreds of curiosity seekers.
