Iowa TkaprroRr. Thhnew territory pro-
misses, from, ali accounts, 70 become one Of the
most important states n the Union. Il is stu
ated north Of Missouri, and is bounded on the
! east by The Mississippi River and includes that
valuable tract Of land, known as the +" Black
Hawk purchase. -" II contained last year about
% 900 Inhabitants and is fast filling up with
valuable cmigrants from the cast and Canada,
and il will no doubt have sufficient population
by 1880 10 become state. Congress appro-
priated $4,000 for its public buildings and alike
sum to pay its legislative, civil and judicial Of
ficers. II sends one delegate to Congress, who
is paid by the nation. Thcseat ofgovernment
il is expected will be located at Davenport a
flourishing new town on the Mississippi, oppo-
site the mouth Of Rock River The Territory
already numbers several Green Mountain Boys
among its settlers, and we doubt they will be
found among its most valuable inhabitants
In the northern part of this district are extern
sve lead mines, which are extensively worked,
and the head shipped from Dubuque, near Ga
lena. The land is Of the best kind; not much
OF il has yet come into market, but is fast being
occupied by settlers, who win have the use OF
the land until ordered to be sold by the Pfesi-
dent, when each actual settler win get 160 to
$40 acres at las per acre. Several papers are
published IN the territory, onc OF which pub
lished at Davenport has been received by u.s.
An Ohio paper says I" we have seen an estim-
ate, showing that $4,000 settlers, and half a
million Of dollars in cash and property, have
been gained to the u. States, by the conduct
of the Government Of Canada" which has in
duced the people OF that Province to emgrate.
A large proportion of these emigrants are able
and industrious farmers, who have removed TO
Iowa. The following is from the Buffalo
