M. T. Receiver Appointed for the old Liid'OvSse and Milwaukee R. K. Tho Legislature of 1861 passed an act to provide a sinking for paying certain debtd of the LaCrosso Milwaukee railroad company.

Said act provided that the receiver, manager, or superintendent of said road should pay into the Stato Treasury the bum of twelve per cent, per annum of its which should constitute a sinking fund for tho redemption of farm mortgages given to aid in the construction of said railroad. The Stato Treasurer was to apply the funds pro rata in liquidation of the notes and mortgages presented for payment, and when any mortgage was paid off the treasurer wns to execute a certificate of the fact, which released themortgage of record upon filing the same with the register of deeds in tho county where such laud is i a In case of the refusal of tho operators oi tho road to comply with tho requirrnents oi said aot, and to pay over tho money a therein provided, then it was made tho of tho appoint a receiver who should take possession of said railroad and its fixtures and apply its earnings as provided by the law. This act of the legislature has been wholly disregarded by tho present managers of the road in question, and the Governor has accordingly appointed Hon. Stoddard Judd, of Dodge County, a i ceivor. Judd WRSformerly President of the La Orosso road, and is thoroughly competent to manage its affairs and apply the proceeds us this act contemplates, provided the law is pronounced constitutional by the Supremo Court, upon whose decision everything now depends.

Of course the present managers of that corporation will not give up possession of the property without testing the law by which they are required to do so, and those interested on the opposite side are quito as anxious to know whether it is was torn oif and foot badly injured. TheEipon Commonwealth says that the farmerd of tho west part of the country have put in a large amount of seed wheat, but wero interrupted last week by a snow storm which stopped operations a few days. As an evidence, however, of how quickly the rolling prairie soil around Jlipon will dry off, we will state that we haw last Monday morning the drills at work on soil that was white with snow Saturday night. With a few moro such days, as we are having now, the wheat will be From the Crescent of April 29 The ground is very wot, and the roads into tho country muddy enough. But comparatively little spring Wheat has been sown iu this 3ounty owing to the continuous wet weather.

Wo cannot now advise farmers to put in any moro becaupo a lato sown crop seldom yields vcell here. Better sow oats, barley, boans, peas, or plant corn. Tho winter wheat looks remarkably well, fruit continues within turo to is evident enough managers of that of tho legisla- the province grant them any relief.

Appleton is growing rapidly.

Its business is a i faster than any city or town in tho State. Its manufactures progress with giant HtrideB. Tho Wisconsin Capital says The contractor who built tho south wing is going immediately to work to complete the portion of the job which he has to do. The specifications and proposals for finishing off tho inside will bo issued in a few days, and the contract will bo let at once. The sum appropriated will complete the south wing, and orcct the walls on which the dome is to rest.

The plan of the dome provides that it is to be principally of iron and glass, and the cost will be from $60,000 to $70,000. There has been a meeting of tho bar in Madison to pass complimentary resolutions to Judgo Ortou, retired from tho bench in that district. The Stevens Point Lumberman says almost one-half of the lumber run over the dam at that place has been injured more or less. They aro now trying tho new slide with better success. Tho river is high and still rising.

Lumber there is $12 in the pile. The Bar of Dane county held a meeting on Friday evening, welcoming Judge Ortou to practice at the Bar of that district and the State. The Judge had contemplated going to Washington to reside, but abandoned the idea, which was the occasion of this meeting.

Ito streets are very planned, acid beautifully shaded with oak trees of luxuriant growth. Every whore 3 nre evidences of thrift and neatness, rarely seen in southern cities and sprinkled through its leading avenues and all about its outskirts are houses and grounds which could only have been designed and occupied by persons of wealth and cultivated taste. The State House, situated on a rising ground in tho center of the town, is a handsome building of -white marblo, from tho dome of can bo obtained a magnificent view of the adjacent country.

It stands in tho middle of a lawn, till lately green with carefully kept grassy slopes, now sadly disfigured and cut up by hoofs of soldiers' horses and the camp fires of headquarters' guard. Near the south side of tho building, and facing iFayctteville Road--the business street of tho town--is a largo bronze statue of Washington. The statuo is a poor one, cast in inferior bronze, and of life size only. Tho Father of his Country is curiously entangled, as to his feet, in a labyrinth of agricultural implements, and his head is not tho dignified, impressive portraiture to which the northern eye has been accustomed. It is, if such a thing be possible, inferior in every respect, except material, to tho dreadful brown atono caricature which disgraces the Now Fork City Hall Park.

At tho upper end of Fayettevilic street is the house of the governor--" the Palace, as it called--a convenient and commodious building of its at present occupied by General Sherman and a portion of his stall'. Southwest of tho town is the Lunatic Asylum, largo and imposing structure, used as a refuge for all citizens of tho state who wero mentally de- puft'erera There is now there a largo number of malo and fo- malo patients, who appear to bo treated according to tho most humane and efficient modern system. Westward is the Female Seminary, an old-fashioned, rambling, brick-built place, in the middle of a splendid park, such as ono may see in European countries surrounding the country seats of tho aristocracy. Hero were educated the lovely and accomplished daughters of North Carolina rebclp, and here, if anywhere, was Union feeling Nevcrthelc.3'3, tlio approach of Sherman's terrible army did not i i all away.

A three examples, among a long miscellaneous list that 1 have noted down for reference, there aro Mordecai, a family at hoti-1 3 um stopping, and a l.idy who lives close by the capitol. Mi.

Moidccai belongs to the F. F. N. Cd. Her father owned five hundred American citizens of African descent.

Chief share of those valuable chattels was her inheritance these she in marriage to Mr. Mordocal. Mrs. Mordecai's sentiments on. the subject of slavery were, and are, of the most unadulterated uncompromising kind.

To aay that she looks upon it as blessing--tho greatest of blessings to both tho dominant and subject race--is to speak mildly. She believes it to be for both tho acme of mundane happiness, the corner stone of domestic economy, national policy, and the fabric of religion without it nations decay, with it they flourish exceedingly, and attain to unexampled power and prosperity. In short it is the axis on which the earth revolves. Abolish--injure--slavery, and, for all Mrs. M.

cares, this terrestrial sphere may leave off its rotatory movement as soon as it This being Mrs. Mordecai's creed, it is no vronder she considered the confederate constitution and theory of government tho perfection of human wisdom, and that she now views those who prevented the triumphant vindication of that experiment with emotions of the bitterest enmity. She does. If ever I saw mingled contempt and detestation concentrated in a face--a by nomeana inexpressive face-- in my life, it was when Mrs. Mordecai was holding a brief conver- li'itol where btay, tlior ireo gemmations of ono an and woman, their A three rnan a i latter couple, three nn attraotjvo" I ever saw.

All of those aro exceedingly plain and unpretending in external appearance. excepting tho Episcopal church, which is a really charming little ediiico, eimplo Gothic in stylo, but perfect in every point of architectural detail, even to tho separation of the tower companile fashion -from the main body of tho building. The interior is fitted up in what is called tho the is an organ loft nnd an' organ, hmall, but pure and sonorous in tone. On this, several military amateurs havo practiced long forgotten arts of harmony; yet in no instance, so far as I could ascertain, was tho music thus irregularly performed, of other than a sacrod character, and no particle of damage was done to any portion of the church. It was well that Johnston was induced, whether by military strategy or the entreaties of the people, to leavo Kaleigh undefended.

Altogether Mrs.

Me rdccni wanted for littlo hero below, and she evidently wanted to hold on to what she had aa long as possible. Ilor ability to do HO was threatened by the advent of tho ruth- leas Yank. Captain Edwards had inspected her establishment, and thought it would answer as headquarters for Gen. Corse. This Mrs.

Mordecai called desecration. A stray soldier or two had walked up her nicely graveled walks. This also was desecration. A squad of others had explored her poultry yard. Desecration was a word too feeble to describe the outrage.

Now while the conversation was proceeding; there approached gentleman of clerical aspect, followed by two as bright, intelligent looking soldiers us ono could find in any army in the world. This was a friendly clergyman, who, on appeal from Mrs. Mordecai, hnd obtained for hor a guard. At these prepossessing young warriors she glanced contumeliously, and wanted to know if that was all tho guard she -was to have. She was assured that two was an unusual privilege that one usually deemed sufficient.

Thereupon Mrs. Mordecai launched out upon a sea of invective against everything Yankee in general, and tho oflicors and men -who wero there to give hor protection in particular, until taken in and brought to a decorous anchorage by the clergyman, who saw matters were going too far, and that the foolish woman would very soon find herself without a gtiard ni all. cannot do justice to the insulting tono and manner, to say nothing of the' matter, of 'Mrs. Mordccai's remarks; neither c.ould those v.dio wcro not there to PCO and hear her properly appreciate i admirable self- possession and impertubablo good humor of thohc whom she endeavored to pro-, oko. The only revenge they took was to establish i a a at I home of (icncral Cox (rebel army officer,) where Mi-R.

Cox received the protection that Mrs. Mordecai might have secured. For bo it known that when plocc is occupied bv hostile force, there no surer means of a i i pnfety and privileges than to a msjor-general for temporary tenant of one's house.
