.-
The great number Of cmigrants to
this part of the Territory during the
past eight or ten days is almost incrc-
dible. The first Of this week one hum
dred and fifty families were counted on
their way TO Black Hawk Purchase,
between this place and Rushville. BY
land and by neutrality-suspicious. isthus
rapidly increasing, and should the con-
templated division take place, Iowa
will hardly be known as separate
Territory before she is heard knocking
at the doors Of Congress to be admit
ted into the Union.--[Ft. Madison Pat.
Many of the cmigrants are making
large settlements on Skunk rivera
beautiful stream deserving a better
name-a few miles from this place. A
considerable town, by the name Of Au-
GUsrA, continuing quite number Of
pretty houses, already appears on its
banks. We shall give description of
this stream and the settlements along
its margin in some future number.-ib.

That quiescent attribute, which, fora time,
