The Winter-Wbeat Observation-Disclosures.
Correspondence of The y. Tribune
KENosHA Wis, Friday, March 4, 1853.
This winter in Wisconsin has been an ex-
tremely open one. We have had little snow
not at any time to exceed three or four inches
and that but for few days. little rain,
and little mud, have occasionally given a taste of
their inconvenience, but general thing we have
enjoy ed clear brscing weather, of moderate temper
ature eminently favorable for business-roads hard
aud smooth az any plank road II feared that the
absence Of snow for much Of the time would prove
dorime nta 10 the coming crop Of Winter Wheat, but
the report Ia from al portions of the State that the
prospects good for the next crop Of this staple
This is certainly to be hoped for past years have been
unavorsble and farmers have suffered in consequence
The ss crop of excellent quality aud very good
average to quantity and one ortwo more such would
render our farmers independent and thus give oon
fdcnce 10 Wisconsin credit that il has not enjoyed
lately.
Our Legislature, after having been in ses-
sion now over two months, shows no sign OF
rising YET But little business of general in
terest has been accomplished. Numerous Pc
titions have been sent in, for a Prohibtory
Liquor Law, similar to the Maine Law, but 1t
seems to little purpose. The Special Committees upon
the subject in both Houses have reported against IN
PRODUCING bill, though minority report with a bill
was offered from the Assembly Committee presume
no action will be taken on the subject AZ this session
A eight show was made in the eatly part of the
session, in the Senate, toward rescnding the
Wilmot Proyiso Resolutions of ls49 but 1t has been
nerm,ed to die out, silently. The Fox and Wiscon'
sin River Improvement question has been quite pro-
life theme and will probably continue 10 be, during
the entire session What action will be taken, II Is
impossible to predict The question Is, now, whether
10 abandon the prosecution OF the improvements or 10
create q State debt 10 complete them. The former
plan seems to meet with most favor. Another iem'
ia the impeachment of Judge Hubbell OF milwaukee,
There are two methods to remove him, and he ques
ton under discussion is, which Of the two shall De
adopted-by impeachment OF by address oil oo'h
Houses Judge Hubben was prominent candidate
before the Democratic Convention last summer Tor
nomination for Chief Justice.
But the great labor Of the session, which
has overshadowed all others, has been the
chartering of companies TO build RAILROADS
If they should all be built there would hardly be

The railroad fever has literally run riot through the
veins of our entire population OF course some OF these
roads will be built and become sources of great proht 10
their owners We have but few mles comparatively
of Railroad in the State, and there are some that are
upcrstvcy demanded by the business OF the country
such an one is the Kcnoshs and Beloii Railroad Our
business men have taken hold OF this with zeal that
promises an early completion. The distance from
Kepo,ha TO Booii, ON Rock River is sixty miles sni
the hole distance is through the richest mos; 'hcky
oopulsted and best cultivated portion OF The state
There are no distractions in the way OF building the
