g Who's dat knocking at de dbor :"
We published yesterday, the memorial of
the Legislature of Iowa to the Legislature Of
Wisconsin on the subject of a abroad COM
municaton from the Mississippi to Lake Mich
igan. The people of our sister Sta tie by their
Representatives Ia the Legislature, have APP
piled for the right of way through Wisconsin
to the Lakes, and thence to the Atlantic. 1t
is I0lCu that is knocking at the door, and
not Iowa alone, but the whole val st region to
the West and North of our State and city
If our people are not hopelessly deaf and blind
to their own true interests, this me mortal from
Iowa Will arouse them to instant and energetic
action. 1t holds out the strongest possible
inducement to exertion. 1t pledges the infiu-
ence and cooperation of the State and people
of Iowa in the prosecution of an enterprise,
important indeed to them, but dH important
to Wisconsin and to Milwaukee.
Shall we, in Milwaukee, avail ourselves of
this proposed aid and influence? Can we
ever have stronger incentive to actlonl Do
we need a better argument, tina IN this very
memorial furnishes, IN favor Of dur Railroad
to the Mississippi Gould more favorable
opportunity be found to commence operation
than that now offered Do we MOT now stand
in relate to Iowa and the vast region North
and West, precisely as the Western States
did to New Y ork years ago2 Make your
Erie Canal said they to New York, and we
will use it and furnish travel and business
enough for it to pay over and ovPr again the
cost of construction ard to ensure to the State
an annual revenue that CrCesus might have
sighed for. Build a Railroad t4 the Missis-
sippi, urges Iowa to Wisconsin, and we and
all West of Us will pour across it tide of
travel and an amount of trade that shall album
dainty repay the cost of improves nent, enrich
and build up your towns and cities, and give
an impulse to your Commercial, Mercantile,
and Manufacturing interests, which shall en-
sure their permanent.
This is the talk of Iowa. What should be

NIsCOEsIN LEGIsLATURE-THE PUBLIC
PRINrING-There appears TO be a perfect
gougs game goin! on at Madison, both with
the Legislature and the Public printer. o.
the one hand, the Legislature, with the avow-
ed intention of economising, have voted to
dispense with Il large amount of the printing
usually deemed necessary by such bodies,
and in doing, have probably spent time e
nough, hal tney applied their salaries to that
purpose to have plid for twice the amount of
printing thati is dispensed with. On the 9th
er hand, the Public printer, having taken the
printing at very low rate, finds it necessary
to make about one half or three fou:ths of his
work consist Of what printers term fit that
is blank. For instance, a report of a com
mittee Is ordered printed, the report contains
sufficient matter tor about two thousand ms.
The printer bIanks it out 50 that il will count
t. him from six to ten thousand, 50 that a rnr-
jority of the peoples money paid for printing
is paid for strips of wood placed between the
lines such course is a public Outrage upon
the people, and we think that if the State of
Wisconsin had al Oliver Cromwell TO send
INTO her Legislative halls for short time
much money might be saved, not only on the
public printing, but on various other matters.
Now We do not blame the printer for tn
ing to save himself in the job, for printers in
the west have hard time enough the L ord
knows, but we do think that fair pri,
should be paid for the work, and then it should
be done in a good workmanlike manner

CALIFORNIA

Hardly a day passes thatwe do not hear of new
subject of the California Fever Several of our
citizens have already departed for the promised
land and many others are preparing to follow
upon the opening of spring. Some of our most
valued citizens, in comfortable and independent
circumstances, have sold cut their property at a
great sacrifice preparatory to leaving and others
would sell could they only find purchasers at any
price.
It appears to US, that they are actuated by a
blind iniatuation. If they viii 60 they shall have
our best wishes, but we ask them to look at the
matter calmly and dispassonately, and to count
the cost before they start. That there is gold in
California cannot be doubted, and there may be
individual cases Of persons who have made large
sums IN a brief space of time but it is in Calfor-
MA in all other mining countries, and all will
not be equally fortunate. We very well Tcmcm-
Der before coming to the lead mines, of seeing
frequent accounts in the newspapers that Mr.. A.
or Mr. B. had just discovered lead the products
of which was one or two hundred dollars a day.
We also well remember reading tho official report
o. the great U. s. Geologist, DIR. David Dale Owen,
wherein he says that every section of land in this
country, no doubt, contained a lead mine and that
two men can raise from twenty-five to thirty dol
lars per day. That, said We is the country for Us,
where, according to the newspaper accounts, men
make from one to two hundred dollars a day.
Our friends tried in vain to dspel our dreams of
wealth, but we met them every time with the Off
ciQI documents which gave minimum per diem OF
from S25 to $780, and like Capt. SCOTS COON they
had TO come down. We packed up our bundle
and started with brighter visions before us than
ever dazzled the imagination of Sir Richard Whit
tgton. We came to the mines, opened our eyes,
and looked around-the bright visions vanished
We found that it was indeed true, that some had
made from 800 to 5000 per day for days in sue
cession, but it remained for Us to learn, that to
every individual that had met with such good for
tune, there nine hundred and ninety-nine who
barely eled out subsistence. We fear the history
Of many of our friends in the lead mines, will be
the history Of many in California.

but allowing that they realize one-tenth part of
their expectations, and each man only makes the
small sum Of $4,000. which being nuItirlied bv
100000, the number Of men employed, gives the
nice little sum of s1,o00001,00 to all the
specie in circulation in the world
1t IS safe to estimate that the average cost of
getting to California and the expense Of living
there for one year. viii not fall short of 900 to
each person. The outlay then of 100000 men
will be the small sum OF S1OO,O0O,O0O, twice the
estimated amount Of all the specie in the United
