Wheat in Wisconsin.

From what we learn, the crops Of Wis
consin this year will be fully equal to those
of any former year. The wheat crop of
1860 has always been deemed the largest
Weld our State has ever had. The crop of
that year was universally large, and the
quality excellent. In conversation with
Neeley Gray, Esq, who is a dealer in reap
ers and grain, giving him ample means of
acquiring information from all parts Of the
State on this subject he informed us that,
from conversations and constant inquiries
of the farmers, he was satiefed that the
wheat crop of this year would average bet
ter than it did in 1860; and Mr.. Gray gave
it as his opinion that there were more bush
els of wheat in Wisconsin at this time than
there ever was at any one time before. We
have no doubt this is a fact; for if the crop
will not average as much per acre as In
1860, There are double more acres devoted
TO it this year than in 1860, so that the ag-
gregate amount now will fully equal the
amount of that year. ffE.
The crop of $50 was estimated at S0,-
600, 900 of bushels, we believe. Assuming
that as the crop ofthisyear, and that 5, 900, :
600 of bushels will bread our own people,
and that 100000 more bushels will be
ample for seed, and we have a surplus of
100000 of bushels with which to sup
ply the needy of other States. Thus Wis
consin, on this basis, will this year produce
surplus of wheat sufficient to bread 5, OOO,-
600 of people besides its own, giving five
bushels to each person-more than enough
to bread the entire population of the six
New England States. To the staid New
England man, who has always lived on the
rugged hills of that section of the country,
and who has never seen the great West, this
muet seem a large story; but it can be
backed up with the wheat, which is the best
ofall backing. Mil0dukee Sentinel.

Dome GooD.-There is something mex
pressibly delightful in the reflection that the
purest and sweetest JOY of which the human
heart is capable springs from comforting
benefits upon others. In the very fact we
discover a proof of the benignity of that
Divine Being who so framed and attemper-
ed our spirits that the happiness which we
are the means Of imparting to others should,
by sortofr reflex influence, become our own.
While selfish qualification always contracts
and enfeebles the spjrit-benevolenc phi

it out nerves aud sustsins it, and makes it
seek the intercourse of others.a In how few
instances lowe see the luxury of doing good

it, Whileitheir execution imparts to the be-
nevoient ajoy only second to that which is

a PAIR OF coPPERHEADs.

A correspondence. the New York Trib-
une, on the cars in Massachusetts, writes
thus:1 1-a1..s5a .as..s-z, ~ Sens
There are, comparatively speaking, few
copperheads in the old Bay State; but what
they lack IN numbers, they make up in ven

things in-the car in which the writer was
seated. One was a brassy- faced, frosty
haired old FELLOW, who loved whisky and
hated soap and water; the other was a. very
stupid, vulgar man, of middle age. He
spoke in loud tone to the other man, who
occupied a)seat on the opposite side of the
car. The following is specimen of the
style and sentiment of the precious pair of
traitors:

words of the speaker, awed these copper
heads into silence, and they sat quietly in
their seats during the remainder of their

Abraham Lincoln.

The Liverpool Post, of Oct I'd, thus
sums up some of the leading qualities OF
Abraham Lincoln, Ii could hardly be
improved upon in the same space
"Absolute truth, stern resolution,
clear insight, solemn in fa;'hfulaess,
courage that cannot be daunted, hope
fulness that cannot be dashed-these are
qualities that 60 long way to make up
hero. whatever side the possessor Of
them may take in any lawful conflict.
And 1t would not be easy TO dispute Mr..
Lincoln's CLAIM to all these. He has
never given up a good servant or a sound
principle. He has rever shut his eyes
to facts, or remained in ignorance OF
them. He has never hesitated TO do his
work, or filtered in doing it. No reso
luton hes remained an nu5i5us with hin,
because Il was strong one. No meas
ure has beer adopted merely because
" something must be done" The ext
gencies OF fanatical war have never be
trayed him into fanalicism, and the
sharp stings Of satire have never drawn
from him an expression Of i'll humor, or
even en- impfudent rejoinder.

Experiment in Macerating Bagasse.

Prof. Mot, best known as the success
full sugar beet experimental, in Ohio last
season, has just completed an experiment
with the bagasse of the common sor-
ghun, at Kankakee, in this State. that
bids fair to somewhat revolutionize the
manufacture Of strip and sugar, and give
a new impetus to cane growing in the
west.
1t has long been favorte idea of Mr..
Mot that the process of macera,ion by
wafer could be made available in the
manufacture of sugar from the beet, as
practiced in the German States. Ac-
cordingly last week, at the sorghum
works of Mr.. Brainard, he made his ex-
pertinent upon the bagasse as it came
from the mill, cut with Mr.. BIS newly
invented cutter. 1000 lbs of frosted cane
were taken and put through common
roller mill giving three gallons of strip,
at 400 Beanie. This bagasse was then
taken by Mr.. Mot and submitted to his
system Of maceraiion, using but one a0ater,
and yielded four and half gallonns of
strip at 45o Beaume, the latter sirup be-
ing superior in taste and color to that
expressed by the sorgho crusher.
The Professors apparatus was, Of
course, rude, but for first experiment
has surpassed even his own sanguine ex
peetations. His theory is that the com
mon cane mills both here and at the
south leave very large portion of the
best sugar material in the bagasse, and
that they cannot be made by any amount
of pressure TO get it out
These crushers a'so express all, or
nearly all, Of the impurities that give the
peculiar taste TO the strip and that make
such constant skimming necessary and
render impossible the equalization oil
the cane sugar This seems 70 be prov
en- by the fact that no Swimming was
necessary in producing the sample here
spoken of, and which is believed can
readily be made into sugar.
AS further experiments are to be made
soon we shall endeavor to give days
attention, watching the process through
out and give our readers the benefit
thereof. 1t is matter of great interest,
but needs further investigation.

Here's Democracy for You.

The Dubuque Herald, in an article on
the responsibility of the present war
against treason, utters the following
choice morceau
:" 1t was the Abolition party which
created them and conceived the war
they opened it, they took the response
bility, and let them reap the glory. If
glory can arise with the smoke Of burn
ing dwellings, aud homes, or can mingle
with the cries of orphans and widows
ifglory can stare at them from the spent
and devastated land, or can be reaped
from the tall grass, made rank and foul
BY theblood which fertilizes 1.-THE glo-
ry is theirs. John Brown was theirs,
and SO may his memory ever be. Help
err is theirs, and so was Harvey, who
helped along the firing on Fort Sumter.
Chandler is theirs, who thought "blood
letting good for the nation. Wade is
theirs, who would have seen the country
sink in the lowest hell before he would
have accepted the Crittenden Compro-
mise. Butler, Turchin, Mcneil, Stra-
chan, Schenck, Milroy, and host Of
men as vile as they, are theirs. The
suspension of the peoples rights was
their act, not ours, and their act, too, was
the overthrow of the peoples liberties.
II was they who introduced Provost Mar
shals, and spies, and informers they
who made Siberia of Canada, and ex-
lied men for no crime /: they, who crea-
ted Basiles, and filled them they, who
have imprisoned grayh aired men and
tender women-for the sake Of humani
ty and decency, let them have the glo-
ry.
1t is not our war, nor ours single one
OF its trophies. The clothing of South
ern women stolen from the wardrobes of
unprotect ted families, is faunted upon
the streets by their wives, not ours. INey
glare in the diamonds and thrum upon
the pianos Of Southern women, not we.
Let them have it all, the glory and the
responsibilities for us, we will none of
it."
