of Luther and Elmira F. Hall, aged eight months
and nineteen days.
Like a sunbeam radiant. sparkling,
Thy short life illumed our hearts,
But without thee night is darkling.
Fills our souls with anguished smarts.
But amid our darkest sorrow,
Hopes bright lamp lights up our way,
Telling us, there comes a morrow
When thou wilt shine in endless day.

RELIEF TO SOLDIERS FAMILIES.
The several measures for the relief
and protection of our soldiers, herein
referred to, embrace all in our power,
SO far as they are personally concerned;
but we have yet the further duty to per-
form of caring for their families in their
absence. We are proud to know that
every neighborhood of our State is bles.
sed with generous and benevolent souls,
who are happy in extending the hand of
kindness and charity to their distressed
neighbors, and who will seek out those
who have been left by the gallent volun-
teerS in our army, and cheerfully minis
ter to their wants; but the few unwilling
to do their full duty in this matter should
be compelled by law to perform it. |
therefore recommend the levy of a spe~
cial tax for this purpose. The act of
February l3, 1862, should be continued.
AS, however, the number of soldiers in
the field has largely increased since the
passage of this act, it is necessary that
tie levy be increased. A rate of one
mill on the dollar, which would raise
the sum of $S0O,0OO, added to the voun,
teer efforts of the generous, it is beiiv7-
ed would be ample to make the mothers,
wives and little ones (whoSe nutural
protectors are absent for the support
and maintenance of the Government
which protects all that is dear to us),
comfortable; and knowledge of this
fact will cheer and stimulate the soldier
to further duty. 1t need not be feared
that such legislation will cause the be
nevoIcnt and generous to relax their in
dividual efforts in this direction The
truly generous are never weary Of vel
doing, and enough will still be foun(
for them to do.

The Legislature of Dakota Territory,
says a dispatch TO the Chicago Tribune,
is in dead lock at Yankton. In the
House, six Of the fourteen members were
candidates for Office, and for six days
there were but six sitting members, who
were equally divided in politics. At
last, on the list inst, a Speaker (demo-
crat) aud clerk was elected and four
contested seats filed, making the num-
ber of representatives twelve. On the
9th, six members, aggrieved at the ar
bitrary rulings of the Speaker, left the
hall, so that the Legislature was without
quorum. Governor Jayne thence
swore in the seceders with three contes-
tants Of seats as the lawful Legislature.
There was thus two distinct Houses
one firm in the support of Governor
Jayne, who, 1t is claimed, was lawfully
elected delegate to Congress last fall
and the other devoted to Mr.. Todd, who
was his successful competitor, so his op

day After the administration of the

cred an interesting. congratuatory ad.
dress, calling his attention to the highly
prosperous condition of the State, and
closing with some pertinent illusions to
national affairs
The millions of people, he said, who
are now aroused by imaginary wrongs
to fierce passion cannot at once return
to reason. Their resentment must have
time to cool, and the delnson under
which they are acting, to be diSsipated
but the day must surely come, when the
people of the South will again own the
same sovereignty, honor the same laws.
fight under the same flag.
At present we must use the sword
1t cannot be sheathed until those in re.
bellion shall lay down their arms and
the Constitution and the laws shall have
uniform sway.
At the conclusion of Gov. Morgan's
; address, which was warmly applauded,
Gov. Seymour delivered his inaugural
address.

ernor Morgan for his kind expressions
and good wishes, and congratulated him

Senator Douglas gave his support to
the war policy of President Lincoln, but
with. the express understanding that il
any attempt was made to excite servile
insurrection in the Sonth, he would op.
poso the war with all his power. In his
speech before the Illinois Legislature
delivered at Springfield on the 9th Of
April, 1861, just before his death, he
said:
II think can appeal to friend and
foe--I use it in political sense, and |
trust | use the word foe in a past sense.
] can appeal to them with confidence
that / have never pandered to the pre-.
judice or passion Of my section against
the minority section of this Union, and
will say to you now, with all frankuesS
and in all sincerity, that | will never
sanction nor acquiesce in any warfare
whatever upon the constitutional rights
or domestic institutions of the people o.
the Southern States. On the contrary
If there was an attempt to invade thos.
rights, to stir up Servile insurrection'
among their people, | would rush tC
their. rescue, and interpose with what
ever Of strength l might possess to de
fend them from such calamity"
