The First VOlley.

The La Crosse Republican d
Leader has assumed to dictate tn,
voters Of this senatorial district, ant
more particularly of this county, upor
their action in regard to state senator
We know of no good reason why the
Leader should poke its nose into this
senatorial district, or NEEDLE with our
local affairs, any way. The Leade,
went far out Of its way to make q ma.
liciouS attack upon Hon. o. s.
Powell, which, Of course, was not only
ungentlemanly, but entirely uncalled
for, since that gentleman's name ha.
not yet appeared in any controversy
upon this subject. We profess to know
our own business, nor is il necessary
for that dictatorial sheet 20 tell us that
we twill be compelled TO have differ
ent man to attend to this matter" Of
the land grant railroad, or its termin-
US. The people Of Pierce county may
not have "tact nor talent" to direct and
manage their own affairs, but we are
vain enough, if there is any vanity about
it, to think they DO, aud that they need
no definite instruction from the columns
Of tho Leader.
But this is scarcely an earnest Of the
presumption and arrogance OF the Lead.
er. 1t tells us that certain gentlemen
are our real friend'--that wo must re
main true to them, and that we twill
not get this road until we do"
The Leader has opened the first FIRE
Of the senatorial campaign in ,his dis.
trict, and its spirn is anything but
conciliatory. Now go 10 if you wish 20
Raise your BATHS cry, and marshal your
forces. You will find cannon to the
right Of you, cannon to the left Of you,
cannon in front ofyou. Join your allies
and pour forth your thunder. Let loose
your dogs of war aud bid them yelp
Make the issue any thing you please.
Tell US that we "have neither tact nor
talent"-tel us that we "must have diff
ferent men to attend to this natter"-
tell US that we 'will not get this road
ill We do" If you choose to, aud VIZ
will respond by votes.

DIED.

In this village on the % inst, WILLIAM,
eldest son OF NATHANIEL ana MARY J.
WALKS, aged 20 years.
Again are we reminded OF the uncer-
tainty of human life; again have we
seen fair youth in our midst, stricken
down with disease; and, within the short
space Of a single week, the strength and
pride Of manhood are exchanged for the
habiliments Of the tomb. But, though
short his time on earth, his life was long
when measured by the true scale of Life
That life is long which answers life's
great end, and well has it been said that
virtue, not rolling suns, natures tho
mind-matures the life of man. To
our youthful friend, in early life was
sent message fair of grace divine,
awaking in his generous heart an ardent
love for truth aud right--ap earnest
zeal for the Christians better part; and,
what is moro than allan unwavcring
strength for the Christians fight
for the Christians noble life. Yes, his
life was pure-his influence, though
noiseless az the dew. fall, was shed DER
all with whom he associated. Yea,
more-o'er all who knew him. Gently
by thousand things which DER our
spirits pass, the summons Of the right
and just, came 10 all within his presence.
Like other young men, he launched his
bark on the great ocean Of Time, with
Hope pointing away,-with them, per-
haps, TO fame and fortune. but with himy
to Paradise. But that trail bark il now
drifting in fragments, while the soul
that once guided its uncertain move
ments, has mounted on wings Of Faith
aud scared away to Heaven, scared
away to
"That world on high, and o, how bles'' -
Fairer than prophets ever told;
And never did an ange'-gnest
One half its blessedness unfold.
There forms unseen by mortal eye,
Too glorious for our sight 70 hra.,
Are walking with their God on high,

This race was closely contested by
the three first named horses. Nellie
drew the POLE A good send off was
obtained, but Goss' mare went off her

lead. The mare got down to work and
closed up handsomely on the homo
stretch, but Billy kept the lead, coming
under the wire about two lengths ahead;
Nellie, second aud Captain, third.
In the second heat the horses got off
handsomely together, Billy having the
pole and taking the lead on the turn.
The mare went off her feet in the irst
quarter, but quickly got down to work
and closed up rapidly. At the half

An Old Song.
ANONYMOUS.

The moon had climbed the highest hill
That rises Ger the source Of Dee,
And from its Eastern summit shed
Her silver light on tower and tree;
When Mary lay her down TO sleep,
Her thoughts on Sandy far ut sea,
When soft and low voice she heard
Say, Mary weep no more for me.
She from her pillow gently raised
Her head o ask who there might be,
And saw young Sandy quivering stand
With pallid cheek and hollow eye
0 Mary dear, cold is my clay,
II lies beneath stormy sea
Far, far from thee sleep in death,
So Mary weep no more for me.
Three stormy nights and stormy days
We tossed upon the raging main,
And long we strove our bark TO save,
But all our striving was in vain;
But cen when sorrow filled my breast
Ny heart was filed with love for thee
The storm is passed aud I'm at rest,
So Mary weep no more for me.
o, maiden dear. myself prepare,
We soon shall meet on that blest shore
Where love is free from doubt and care
And thou aud shall part no more.
Load crew the cock, the shadow fed,
No more OF Sandy oouid she see,
But soft the passing spirit said,
0, Mary weep no more for me.

Friend Collins sets forth the advan-

Wisconsin, with its deep SHOWS and long
cold winters. And the perusal of this
letter has tendency to bring back the
iongings Of other days, for the genial
climate, the ease, the luxury, and the
gains to enterprise to be found in the
South.
Ours is rigid climate here, and the
necessaries and the Injuries of life are
only obtained by indefatigable applica-

would, ere this, have been inundated
to repletiou with enterprise, skill, intel.

Here men hold such views as seem
right and best. each individual for him
self, social, political or religious, and
all sincere men, though differing each
with his neighbor, are at perfect liberty
to put their principles into practice SO
long as the good order of society is not
endangered. But we think it is differ
ent in the South; we think men arc
prescribed for opinions sake; we think
northern men going to the South and
indulglng as freely in the expression of
their opinions and criticizing others as
We do here, are in danger of their lives;
we think that families from the North,
who settle in the South, find no socia.

ness, by the people; and consequently
have no neighbors but such as they may
take with them. We think that society
in the South is made up oftwo distinct
classes, one too high and the other too
low TO notice onr kind of people Al
the North we think that. to foster thu
interests of the poor, to educate anC
stimulate such TO emulate their more
fortunate neighbors in the acquisition
of intelligence, and the comforts of life
is the true policy of state or nation,
which of course tends to keep out class
or distinction.
Our people are jealous of their rights
and independence, they would not OK
change the abiding pure liberty of the
North for the ease aud luxury of the
South.
Give us assurance that we shall in
very truth, be protected in these dear
rights and soon they shall greet us in

A Sentiment.

0 hearts that never cease to yearn!
o brimming tears that ne'er are dried
The dead, though they depart, return
AS though they had not died.
The living are the only dead,
The dead live-nevermore to die;
And often when we mourn them fed,
They never were so nigh.

The operation of taking the census in
Bengal, which was the first ever heard
of in that country, brought out some of
the characteristics of the people. Their
first thought was that it was the prelim-

man hid his babies, declaring that they
were too young to be taxed. In some
places it was thought that the govern
ment intended to draft the people to
the hills, where coolies are much want

ed that the surplus population were to
be blown away from guns.
