LETTER FROM WISCONSIN.

DEAR CHRONICLE: Since wrote
you last the west has had a trial by
fire, and has come out only a little
scorehed after all, for the wheat crop
Is an average one and of a superior
quality. The corn crop is very heavy
and perfect, especially in Minnesota,
and was in market last month. Po-
tatOes, here, are plenty and nice
only thirty cents per bushel. Corn
and wheat eighty cents. Hay and
oats are a little scarce. Tame hay
ten dollars per ton. Hard wood, old
price, five dollars per cord. Guilt
waited wood not quite in market yet.
Fall seed is up high, and all things
look green again, except where a
light frost has left its mark on our
scattered forests.
And in golden tints OF autumn
All our oak openings now appear,
For those melancholy days are come.
The saddest OF the year.
Prairie winds have left their caves
To sweep the naked plain.
That lately rolled in even waves
In boundless fields Of grain,
That begins to push many matters
here that nearly came to a stand by
the glut Of the wheat Of last years
crop.
How patiently thousands of rich
farmers here seem waiting for young
farmers to come and take them as a
present from Uncle Sam, and settle
down for life, and find that happiness
that they are now looking in vain for
in crowded cities, subject to the silken
tie Of vice that leads thousands, bood-
winked, to an early grave. All farms
here that have q river boundary on
the side or end, have large and good
timber, good bottom and upland, all
as handsome and rich as God could
make it. Then, too, his pork barrel
(the river) never grows less of fine
bass and pike, the two best varieties
Of fish here, that have been aecumu-
lating for centuries in our rOck-bot-
toned rivers, that are full Of seams,
that are full of crabs, the faYorite food
and fat, as our streams are cold
of those fish, which are always hard
Even the past summer, and to my
rambles on the Cedar, in Iowa, and
the Pichatonica, in Wisconsin, I as

THE MURDER OF Mr.. LINCOLN.
What Mr.. Buchanan Thought on the
Subject.


The following letter, written by ex-
President James Buchanan a few days
after the murder of Mr.. Lincoln, to
the Honorable HOratio King, is pub
lished in the last number Of the Gal
dEy:
Wheatland near Lancaster. April 2, IS.
MY DEAR SIR: In
common with you, I feel the assassi-
nation Of President Lincoln to be a
terrible misfortune to our country.
May God, in his mercy, ward from US
the evils which it pOrtends, aud bring
good out of this fearful calamity Ny
intercourse with our deceased Presi-
dent, both on his visit to me after his
arrival in Washington and on the day
Of his first Inauguration, convinced
me that he was a man of kind and
benevolent heart, and Of plain, sin
cere, and frank manners. I have
never since changed my opinion Of
his character. Indeed, I felt for him
much personal regard.
Throughout the years Of the war 1
never faltered in my conviction that
it would eventually terminate in the
crushing Of the rebellion, and was
ever opposed to the recognition of the
NOAAEAAlAeAlE NA0h AAAAAEAAA ~ IN AT
which even looked in that direction.
Believing, always, secession to be a
palpable violation Of the Constitution,
I consider the acts of secession to be
absolutely void, and that the states
were therefore still members, though
rebelliOus members, of the Union.
Having prayed night and morning
for the restoration of the Union, the
Constitution, and our civil liberties,
and fondly believing that President
Lincoln was the destined instrument
in the hands OF Divine Providence to
accomplish these inestimable bless
ings, the awful news of his diabolical
assassination, at such moment, over
whelmned me with sorrow.
These are my heartfelt sentiments
which you invite. but they are not for
the public eye. When, on the first
after the first battle of
Bull Run. expressed strong opinion
to 4 public meeting in support of the
war, was assailed as violently for
this asif I had uttered treason.
If were now to write to the public,
which 1 could do with heartfelt emo
ton, on the subject Of the assassina-
tiOn it should be treated in a similar
manner. JAMES BUCHANAN.
Hon. HOratiO King.

cribe my good health at this time, for
here there is no danger Of inhaling a
second or third-handed breath Of to-
bacco or whisky, that float in pent-
up places. Here the pure air has
only the Odor Of countless flowers, but
now the prairies have on their au-
tumn dress of orange and blue for the
ground work.
All can have plenty Of fuel in fir
teen years, from the seed Of soft ma
ole, and by good protection can have
abundance of fruit. In short, here is
the place for the young, rich or poor,
to enjoy long life of virtue, health
and happiness.

love, and the noise, great as it was, did
not drown word. He prayed for
everything and for everybody.
cat one time it seemed that he was
about to turn his attention to gentlemen
on the other side of the water, and pray
for their poor souls too. 1t was indeed,
long prayer As the leaden devils
came whizzing over the roof and crack
ling through the trees-the ungodly
rascals had got the range of the church
exactly-,as they buried themselves sui
lenly in the ground under the windows
or exploded frightfully among the beams
or against the stonowork, the hearers
might have thought that the preacher
would never come to an end. To be
sure this was well enough for DR.. Pal
mer. lIc had an uncommon good
thing, albeit the pulpit was the most ex-
posed position, and every one expected
to see him drop any moment for pray
ingas he was, he had only to die and
go to Heaven straightway in a hand
basket, or by any other ready convey
ancc, sure of blessed immortality for
his fame in this world, and his spirit in
the world to come. The rests were,
however, not SO sure, and it will hardly
surprise the reader to learn that they
waited nervously. They may be said
to have been very nervous.
"But finally, after exhaustng the cat
aIoguc, after stretching the long prayer
to its longest, after praying for all sorts
and conditions of men, beasts, birds and
things, the preacher rounded the ready
words 'Andtho grace of our Lord
and the love of God and the fellowship
Of the Holy Ghost, be with you all, noy

General Shanks, a member of Con-
gress, who served in the Federal army
during the late war, has gotten up some
interesting statistics relating to the ar
my during the war.
The aggregate enlistmonts in the
Federal army fom the beginning to the
end of war was ?, 335, SOL. Of this 49,
944 were commissioned officers, includ-
ing nine colored. OF white men enlist
ed there were 2,073,l12, and of blacks
! 1855.
The General shows the proportionate
casualties and the relative dangers OF
officers and men in battle, the proper
tomato mortality from disease and from
other causes, and other interesting com
PARSONS.
There were 83, 844 commissioned Of
ficers employed, and of them 3, 93l were
killed in battle. or about ono out of
every ffy-four. Ofth us, 800 enlisted
blacks, Lola were killed in battle, or
about one in one hundred and eighteen.
Ofthc mortality from wounds we have
this comparison: 1000 officers died of
wounds, or about one in forty-one; 3d.
8S7 white soldiers died from wounds, or
about one in CT E; and l,037 blacks died
from wounds. one in one hundred and
scventy-threc. 1t is thus seen that the
wounds Of the officers were more fatla
than those of the white soldiers, and
thew were far more fatal than the wounds
of The blacks. The Siieer are conspic-
uous marks, and this may account for
their proportion of mortality.
Tie comparison of mortality from
disease between the officers and men
entirely reverscs the figures. OF officers
about | 1928 died of disease, or about one
in every forty-niue. Of white soldiers
1922, 100 died of disease, or one out of
every seventeen, and of the negroes
%, 2ll dicd-of disease, or one out of
every seven.
The dsproporiions here are great, the
deaths among the negroes being nearly
two and a half times more than among
the white soldiers, and seven times more
than among the officers, while the NOR
tality from disease amongst the white
soldiers was nearly three times as great
as amongst the officers of their race.
This disproportion between officers
and men is partly owing to the greater
hardships and exposures of camp-life
amongst soldiers than amongst their off
GERS, partly to the disregard of health
amongst the priyatcs, and partly to the
reckless lives Of men before they enter
the army; and this last cause, it is sup
posed, accounts for the greater mortali-
ty amongst the negroes. These Stats
ties show how great an error it Is TO sup
pose that reckless exposure and lrreg
ularity make people hardy.
The combined numbers OF those who
were killed and those who died of wounds
received in battle compared with the
deaths from disease show the follow
ing results; COCO officers lost their
