FOR LIFE OR DEATH.
IL STRANGE DREAM.

It was beautiful night IN The English
EsHmmcr. In London mansion, many
wears ago, gentleman retired to bed al
Ian unusual hour, but was for some time af
lected with restlessness. From his window
Pie looked up ct the bright array of count
less stars, and soft breeze foated into the
troom. Still the gentleman could not sleep
He was an officer Of the government, hold
Ping, the position of Under-Secretary o.
State, and d man of the most regular hab

Eges. Ny conscience is cIean-and yet
I5ere am, like bad Macbeth, denied my

He lay for a moment with his eyes wide
4open, and then, as iffor mere change and
occupation for his thoughts, repeated
lShakspeare's lines on sleep.
Still he tossed, and he heard the church

The month of February, this year,
has been unexceptionally favorable for
the planting interests. The land was
in splendid condition for the plough,
and the planter hos been active in
speeding the plough. The weather has
been unusually propitious, and there
has been no lack of labor. The planters
are fully one month ahead of last years
work. Corn planted Is either up, O,
sprouting, and the average is large,
than last year.

POLITICAL TALK.

There was a caucus held at Odd Eel
lows Hall; yesterday at one o'clock, of
tho legislature favorable to the Mich
oils government, which was largely at
tended. The principal subject under
consideration was tho propriety Of 60
ing into an election for a United States
Senator ON Monday, but the caucus de-
ci.led otherwise.
Any number of reasons arc ascribe,l
for This deter,nination, but since they
amount simply to speculation, it wonl.i
he idle to relate them.
There is evidently something in the
wind which, common mortaIs are not
informed OF, but it is generally believed
that before the Legislature adjourns on
Thursday night, there will have oc-
CURED some remarkable changes in the
situatiOn-not arising from any action
at Washington, but from entirely local
causes.
Packafl's caucus, it is reported, is
entirely demoraiized and is on tho
point Of giving up the contest, regard
less Ofthe personal interest Of the tsBoss''
and its members say openly that It's
soon as the order to withdraw the troops
from the city is issued there will be a
general exodus from the st. Louis
Hotel.
Concerning the Senatorial contest, it
is reported that Judge WHY'S name
will be brought before the next caucus
