COPPER ORE.-This ore occupies, in the ey-
plored district, the same geological position as
the lead ore aud but for the superior richness
and value OF the lead, would be considered of
great Importance and attract much attention.
Its discoveries are confined to the east side of
the river, where it is fon'd in sufficient album
dance to repay we'll the labor of the miner,
and We are assured that capital and skill alone
are required to render copper-mning ia this
district both advantageous and profitable.
It's value is moreover enhanced in conse-
quence of its being found in the vicinity of,
and often in the same mine as productive veins
of
ZINc ORE--Whch is found on both sides of
the Mississippi. aud usually occurs in the fs-
snles along with the lead. This ore occurs in
such abundance that vast quantities of it lie
in various locations on the surface, rejected as
valuele5s.
AT present large quantities of copper, zinc
and brass are annually imported into the IT,
States from Europe; while the region survey
ed might furnish these metals in sufficient
abundance to satisfy the demand-for it is
we'll known that brass is but compound of
copper and zine; which ores, at least the lat
ter, are found here in sufficient quantities, not
only for home consumption, but also for ex-
portatlon.
IRON ORE-Is found in this district, of an
excellent quality, and in unlimited abundance.
Near the Makoqueta river, large masses of
iron ore have been found on the surface alone.
Some of these specimens are of the rich and
beautiful variety Of pipe-ore. And in many
places where this ore is found in abundance,
water-power and limestone are at hand in like
profusion.
As yet no mines have been opened, conse.
quently the richness of the veins cannot be
correctly known; but, no where are there to
be found more encouraging or more numerous

delusion thrown over the minds of many, and the
influence of dollars and cents among thousands that
have neither minds nor principles.
Aside from the pledges of the President. the re-
moval of Mr. P. and the appointment of Mr. H. IS
one Of the painest cases of prescription for opinion
sake that has ever come under our knowledge. We
have been crcdiby informed that sometime since, a
petition for the appointment of SAMUEL d. Dixon,
of Dubuque in case Mr.. P. was removed, was in cir
culatiors and generally signed, which set forth these
facts: 1t stated that Mr. p. was excellent public
officer, and had given universal satisfaction but if he
was to be removed for opinions sake, the petitioners
prayed that Mr. D., who is well qualified, might be
appointed in his place. Notwithstanding this testi-
mony in favor of Mr.. F., and the honorable course
of Mr. d. he was removed, and another, not perhaps
for his qualifications, but for his relations sake ap-
pointed to the Office IF in these statements we are
Mistaken we stand ready for correction by Mr.. D..
and if we are correct, what more does it require to
stamp the administration with an utter disregard o.
pledges, and of prescription which it processes to
pudiate!
Citizens of Iowa-you who have witnessed the
discharge of duty by the officers of the General Gov
| eminent turn these unwarranted removals over in
your minds, and then judge whether the party is JUS
titled in the proscnpve course it has thought prop

Burlington is outstrippng all the towns on the
river in the way of improvement. Several good
buildings have already gone up this SPRING and there
are many more under way.'-Territorial Gazette.

ton is going ahead at rapid rate. Almost every
day adds another skeleton building to the place, and
some OF them large an(. substantial. We lave not
been at burlington this spring, but we have heard
many passengers on steamboats, remark that Bloom

close on her heels "Seuerm good buildings have

FIN the Territorial Gazette Of Saturday last,
Gen. Van Antwerp gives the nominal editor of the
Hawkeye, what, if said of an honorable man, would
be considered severe castgation, for the many mis-
representations concerning his conduct public
officer, with which that papor has teemed since its
commencement: but Edwards, conscious of his own
recklessness of character and of the countenance OF
the party whose dirty work he does has become cal
lous, and will read it with joy, as afording him an
other opportunity to throw his worthless character
upon the sympathies of the people. So despicable
has Edwards rendered himself, even in the eyes of
the respectable portion of the whg party, that his
words are no longer SANDER but looked upon the
overlowings of depraved heart. Such reptiles, If
passed unnotced would sink into their wonted in
significance but so long men Of standing will con-
descend to kick them out of their way rather than
avoid their stencil by walking a: ounj him. 50 long
will they be kept ia countenance among certain
class. Being supported in mean and contempt
bic course lie has become reckless Of character and
unworthy attention. We plead guilty OF having
assisted him in gaining his present situation, by tell
ing what creature he was when he first into
the Territory, and ever since that time he has been
crying out persecution" and raving because lie had
no character which, for awhile led the people to be-
ievc that he was badly treated-but his conduct has
dispelled that idea iii tie minds of impartial men,
and if there no pains taken hereafter to expose his
baseness, he will, respectable wing jour-
nals established in the Territory, become as IN
| significant and detcstabe as he was in Illinois.

to charge such design upon us, were not too
good TO hire incendiaries or even apply the
torch themselves, we had the most serious ap-
prehensons for the safety of the public books
and papers. Individually, we felt a deep in.
terest IN the matter, because those books and
papers, as long as they exist, will bear ire

REMOVAL OF Gov. DoDaE.-We learn by Gen.
VIM. L. D. Ewing, of Illinois, who came down on
the Sarah Ann on Wednesday evening last that
Gen. Dodge Governor of Wisconsin, has been re-
moved, and ]. D. Doty, Delegate from the Territory,
appointed in his place. In relation to this appoint
ment we have neither time room to give our
opinions at present, but must say that while 1t Is
beyond the power of our pen to portray the charac-
ter of Gov. D. above his merits, it is equally unable
to expose the rascality of Doty; but we can and will
say without the fear of successful contradiction, tina,
more consumate scoundrel, morally and politically
than Judge Doty, cannot be found in the U. States
nor the land to which Swartwout and Mitchell have
fled, and our assertion will be proved in the Senate
when his appointment comes up, if the injunction
of secrecy shall be removed from the debates.
