IowA.-The message Of Governor Chambers to
the Legislative Assembly of Iowa was delivered on
the Sth ult. The admission Of the Territory into
the Union, as a State, is referred TO presenting
question of paramount importance, and one that
calls tor speedy determination. The subject hav
ing been referred to the people some ago, the
result showed UNIV iilngness the part OF con-
siderable majority to take upon themselves, at that
time, the duties and responsibilities Of State gov
ment. The recent Legislation of Congress, how
ever in relation the future dis pOsal of the public
lands, gives to the question new aspect, and 1t Is
nded that il be again submitted to the peO-
pie, that their representatives at the next egis-
ative session may be enabled to act upon this i'm
portont matter in conformity to the public wishes
The distractions in the way OF a safe navigation
Of the Mississippi, particularly between the Dcs
| Mones and the Rock Island Rapids, are such as TO
interfere very injurousy with the trade OF the Ter
ritory So serious these implements that the
expenses Of navigaion for that portion of the river
are from one to three hundred per cent above the
| amount usually paid between New Orleans and st
Louis The annual loss Of property is also very
great. The aid of Congress it is believed may be
asked with propiiety for the removal OF these OBJ
| structions.
| There is an unsettled question Of boundary be-
tween the Territory of iowa and the State of Mis-
| souri,. Our readers may recollect that, some two
years ago, difficulty arose from this source which
| threatened for while, to produce serious conse-
quences, on account of the begerent propensities
Of the disputing parties 1t now appears that ra-
tional mode of settling the question has been sug-
gested by Governor Reynolds Of Missouri, who
proposes that agreed case, as to facts, be made
| up and submitted to The Supreme Court of the U.
States Governor Chambers,n his reply to this pro-
position, suggests doubt whether the Territorial
Government Of Iowa is competent TO stand as party
legislation Of Congress. The amicabe spirit mani
tested on both sides indicates, however, that sa
tsacory adjustment OF the difficulty may be had In
due time.
| WIscoNsIN.-The message of Gov. Doty was de-
| live red on the Sh inst at Madison, and embraces
| the usual topics. His Excelency recommends
that the farther prosec utioa Of the Milwaukee and
Rock River canal cease at once, the project being
| quite impractcab!e and an onerous burthen to the
| people.
II is estimate ed that Wisconsin has this year, pro-
| duccd overtwe millions of pounds Of lead and
that the receipts from the sale of andswiihin the
| Territory during the same period-were equal to
| S33t, 2S6. This is the average for the past three
There being no banks within the Territory, the
Governor congratulates his constituents that the
only persons complaining and likely to suffer from
the fnauc aI interruptions the brokers, against
whom his Exceliency aims his shaft instead OF the
defunct ms ttutions.
| The soil, climate and geographical characteris-
| tics of Wisconsin, the Governor thinks are pecu-
liary adapted to the culture Of sheep, and for en-
/ couraging the grow tn of wool. For this purpose
| he recommends that law be passed to exempt all
sheen and their feeces from taxation for term Of
| wears; and such other provisions as are required,
that wool may soon become one OF the staple pro-
dactions Of the Territory. This is particularly a
| feature worthy Of Wisconsin. 1t is Omitted that
sheep fed upon high praries, increase in size and
| improve in health, and that their heeces are more
weighty than those of sheep which are confined to
the pastures Of the eastern and middle States. The
l extensive ana TlCu praTl6S OF the VHCVnsin Tl'cI
| and Of ITS branches, and upon which there is now
no prospect of settlements, may, if the proper en-
| courag cement is given, be made capable Of supply
| ing all Of the manufactures Of woollen goods in
the United States with wool.
As nearly all the products Of the west have to
seekian EASTERN market il should be the policy to
raise costly commodities, as the expense Of trans.
| portation is equal in every respect Abound OF
-four, wheat or pork, which is only worth two or
three cents costs much TO get it to market as so
much silk wool, worth fifty cents the pound, and
| generally is as easily converted into cash.

There Is some activity just in ireights but as
