N The election has been held and the $ result trumpcted through the land. < The Radicals are. again victorious. It Sis true that but four States have ex- < pressed themselves willing that Radi- calls should rule over them, but this is

 n sufficient indication that the next S Congress will be largely Republican. T We may now know that the rule of tyranny is to be unbrokcn, that the } unprincipled disregard of law, order, { and constitutional liberty, which char Aacterized the late Congres, is to be per pctuated. To what this course tends fno man can tell No principle, no pol icy, is the platform npon which the Republicans stand, and it is the policy by which the government must be con- &trolled for time to come. With this election strong hopes of representation and complete restoration are blasted, and tho conviction settles itself upon

 our minds that we must still sssuffer and be strong" TheAc is feeble hope that the conservative minority will be sufficient, with the Presidents veto, to prevent the passage of such odious measures as will from time to time be presented to Congress. But of this we have little to say at the present time. That which most affects isis. that there

 will be no more effcctual way opened

 for our admission as States than is al

 ready opened, The cry must still ring

 ill our cars, accept the constitutional

 amendments and you may come in.

 otherwise you must stay out subscribe

 to your own dishonor and treachery,

 and you may have q place as q State in

 this great American Union. Upon these questions the South can have but

 one voice; her honor and her integrity

 is her life; 10 sacrifice the one is to

 loose the other, and become a thing Troublesome and fit only to be despised. Hence, we feel that one of the consc-

 qucnces of this election is to pcrpetu- ate the isolated condition of the iSouth- ern States, to still hold upon their shoulders the burthen of taxation, while they arc denied representation. An

 other conviction growing out of this

 state of things is the probable rupture

 between Congress and and the Presi-

 dent. We arc not ofthosc who believe that there will be hostilities actual be-

 tween the two great parties. Rut we tlo believe that an attempt will be made

 10 impcach tho President. which win

 result i'll confusion such as will keep

 the country in a continuous disorgan-

 izcd state until other changes shall be

 made. No sensible man can look at

 Things as they are, without being con- vinced that there are 'breakers ahead"

 toward which the old ship of state is

 fast drifting, and upon which, if Radi-

 cal rule in it's violence and fury contin-

 ues, she must strike. Can she stand tue shock time only will prove; and

 time that proves all things, will con-

 vince the world that the Conservative

 party North, with the whole South,

 are the true Union men, while the dis Aunionists are those who rule with such

 ruinons policy, not for the good of the

 country, but for personal aggrandize-

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Conner cial, who is youched for by the paper as :. an old-fashoned abolitionist who does not exten- uate anything or set down aught in malice, writing from Southern Arkansas, says;

 During month $ travel in this county conversing with scores daily7-I have heard less complaint and less denunciation of the Government, than can be heard around the various corners of Vine and Fourth streets, in your city, in any thirty minutes, by day light-particularly of Sunday morning. That there is an anxiety to know when, Ii ever, they are again to take their places in the Union as reconstructed States, is evident enough, but there is modesty about this which does not ill-become a high toned con- quered enemy. 4ar aeas7

 From all that have been able to discover. am satisfied that if the State of Arkansas was admitted into the Union to-day, with all the rights and privileges she ever enjoyed in it, except as to slavery, she would be much better governed in the year to come than she has been during the year which is past.

 been in rebellion against the Government; ; they have been punished for that Whether that punishment has been adequate to the crime committed, cannot be question with any noble minded victor, for she has cried '' Enough!p If we are magnanimous vic tor, really as powerful as we talk, we will no. only let this fallen enemy get up," but by brushing the dust from her soiled garments i try and make of her fast friend. Her peo- 1 plc like all other human beings, can and will appreciate words of kindness. As proof of this, Henry Ward Beeeher's sayings upon the subject of reconstruction have made him de- cidedly popular here There is no living man who would be more cordially received and listened to with more respectful attention than he. This may be changed to selfish, in terested motives; but such suspicious, just now, when there are wounds to be healed are l far more dangerous to the future good of the country than the helpless object of them.

exposed to the frost and the action of the vital forces, will produce vefy nutritive soil, A soil may be decpcncd then by turning up all the nutritious, and little of the subsoil, each year and thus there will be no limit to the increased product ,iveness, but the want of physical means of disintegration. -

 We arc now prepared to account for the conflicting testimony of farmers about deep blowing One blows up deep fri able nutritious soil a foot or fifteen inches, and produces most extraordinary crops Another submerges under impenetrable clay or innutritious gravel, the thin crust of nutritious earth, the same depth as the other, the roots never are able to reach through the innutritious to the nutritious soil, and the crop pcrishes !! Forthwith he reads the community a jeremiad against :" deep plowing."

 From all this it will be seen that, farm ing is both a science (and q most broad and intricate sciehce) and an art, calling for the highest human powers of obserya- tion, combination, and analysis.

POWER OF IMAGINATION. A wealthy lady had a tickling in her throat, and thought that a bristle of her tooth brush had gone down and lodged in her gullet. Her throat daily grew worse It was badly infamed, and she sent for the family doctor. He examined it carefully, and finally assured her nothing was the matter-it was mere nervous deusion, he said. Still her throat troubled her. and she became so alarmed that she was sure she would'die. A friend suggested that she should call in Dr. Jones' young man just commenc- ing practice. She did moi at first like the idea, but finally consented, and Dr. Jones was called. He was person of good address and polite manners. He looked carefully at her throat, asked several questions as to the sensation at the seat of the alarming malady, and finally announced that he thought he could relieve her in short time. On his second visit he brought with him delicate pair of forceps, in the teeth of which he had inserted a b.istle taken from an ordinary tooth brush. The rest can be imagined The lady threw back her head the forceps were introduced into her mouth i; a pick--a loud scream ! and twas all over; and the young physician, with a smiling face, was holding up to the light and inspecting with lively curiosity the extracted bristle. The patient was in raptures. She immediately recovered her health and spirits, and went about every where sounding the praises of 'her savior,s' as she persisted in calling the dexterous oDer- ator.

CINCINNATI, Feb. Is, P.M


This morning, about 7 O'Clock, as a Jour
neymall blacksmith was going 10 the shopon
the corner Of South Court street and Market
alley, between Main and Sycamore stress,
he discovered a young woman, apparently
about twenty-five or twenty-three years old,
lying in the alley. He approached her and
discovered that blood was oozing from her
mouth, and quite a large pool was clotted
and almost frozen near her head He i'm
mediately gave the alarm and crowd Of
persons collected about the awful sight.


The woman was well dressed and clothed
in clean garments throughout, but one Of her
knees was scratched and bruised and the
stocking on the same leg was discOloFed and
partly torn, which led them 10 believe that
she had been dragged TO the place where she
was found. The skirt Of her dress, which
was Of elegant and rich material, was COM
pletely torn from the waist al il a terrible
struggle had taken place. One Of her gloves
was found near by, and the entire scene was
evidence enough TO cast suspicion that foul
play had been perpetrated. The Coroner
was summoned this morning 10 hold an in
quest butBo testimony could be secured that
had tendency TO explain or solve the affair
and he ordered the body TO be conveyed 10
an undertaker's and adjourned the jury to
Tuesday evening next. Tha mystery creates
a sensation.

EMIGRATION FReM THE ,SoUTB.-It is
said that as many az fifty thousand young
men from the Southern States have settled
themselves in New York city to seek their
fortunes. Many have gone to Baltimore,
and we presume that there Is scarcely n
Northern city Of any magnitude that does
not number such Representatives Of the
South among its population. The universal
stagnation and paralysis Of business that
succeeded the war; the scarcity Of money,
the impoesibility Of getting employment
and the gloomy future all coDspired to in
duce many Of our active and energetic young
men to remove TO places where money was
plentiful and employment attainabIc. There
also arose two formidable schemes that
threatened, and still threaten, 70 drain the
South OF her populatica-not only Of that
valuable portion Of her population, con-
sisiing of active and enterprising young men,
but Of whole families-almost Of commune
ties. We refer 10 the Brazilian and Mexi-
can emigration schemes.-Riekmoad Wing.

Wild bird that wingest wide the gimmering
moods,


Whittier by belts of yellowlng woods
awayS
While pausing sunset thy wild heart allures


Deep into dying day
Would that my heart, on wings like thine,
could pass
Where stars their light in rosy regions
A happy shadow DER the warm green grass.


Failing with falling dewsl
Hast thou, like me, some true.love of thine
own


In fairy lands beyond the utmost seas
Who there, unsolaced, yearns for thee alone.


And sighs to silent treesP
Oh, tell that wood bird that the Summer
grieves,


And the sun darkens and the days grow
And tell her, love will fade with fading
leaves,


And cease in common mold.
Fly from the Winter of the world to herl
Fly, happy birdl follow in thy flight
TIL thou art lost in yonder fringe of fir


In baths of crimson light.
My love is dying far away from me;
She sits and saddens in the fading west,
For her l mourn all day, and pine to be


AT night upon her breast.

W The Mineral Point 1aibuae in its
issue Of the Goth inst, takes exceptions to
our remarks in regard to the location Of
the proposed NJ. E. seminary. We would
say, that on the return of the Dodgeville
delegation from the meeting at Mineral
Point, we were informed that the commits
tse refused to entertain the proposition Of
that place to locate the seminary there, for
the reason that they had no authority to
say what the conference would expend IN
the enterprise, and had no authority to
accept conditional proposition Of the
kind presented by the citizens Of that
place. But because the minutes of the
Secretary do not show that motion was
put and carried throwing out the PROPOSE
ton; the Tri6sne claims that. TOUR yasser-
stion was far from the truth" Now, we
claim that there is some trnth in our state
.rnent, and although our giving it publicity
in the.manner we did, may have been rath-
erhasty, nevertheless, from the statement
ofSthe Tsihaiae it is evident that this @ndES
'tisaas proposition was objected t" 81. at
aeass two members Of the committee, and
we can state it on good authority, that
other members Of the committee, who
would otherwise have voted for its loca-
ton at Mineral Point, voted against it,
thinking that the bid of Mineral Point was
not proper one, and knowing that the
committee had no authority to accept any
sucha proposition, and if accepted, they
were unable to give guarantee that the
conference would perform its stipulated
part. Besides, tho editor of the Tribune
knows, or should know, that, for all the
subject was thoroughly canvassed, not one
word was said by any member of the con-
ference, in favor of enter tanning the prop
osition from Mineral Point. They knew
full well that they had no authority to give
any such a guarantee.


Again, we think we can substantiate our
statement that the Mineral Point delega-
ton, failing to- get it that place, concluded
they would rather help Darlington than
Dodgevile, and SO cast their vote and gave
their influence in that direction;" for some
of the members of the committee who vo-
ted for the locating Of the seminary at
another place. acknowledged that Dodge
vile ''made the best offer, and all things
considered, they believed Dodgcville ought
to have it.' This shows that there was
prejudice against Dodgevile, and that some
members of the committee were not pre-
pared to give the place its proper due !;
probably for fear that the p' ople of Min
eral Point would take exceptions to it.
We have 10 intention of increasing the ILL.,
feeling of the citizens of the county to-
words Mineral Point, but would much
rather lend our influence, and use our pen
to allay and silence any such feeling, for
We can conceive of no good which car re-
suit from it, and if Indignantly kept up,
and often disturbed, it might be mater
ial detriment and drawback not only to
Mineral Point, and Dodgeville, but to the
prosperity Of the whole county.
