LETTER FROM IOWA.
FAYETTE Co. Iowa. Feb. 1854.
The past month has been jubilee for
hunters and trappcrs. Hundreds of deer and
elk. scores Of bear. wolf, panther, buffalo,
beaver, otter. and swan skins have passed us,
destined for the American FUR Go. at st.
Louis. The beaver. since those big fur hats
vert cut of STYLE. is sought less than former
". The otter is more than twice as valuable.
Both are found in great numbers from the
head waters OF the st. Peters, TO the head
waters of the Mississippi. Between Lake
Albert Lea on the south, and Red Lake on
the north are hundreds, perhaps thousands
of small lakes which are visited bv thcFrench
royogeurs aud Others in the employ OF the
Fur Company. One may travel three hun
cred miles and not lose 81 Oh: Cfthcm. Much
Of the time he NAV see half a dozen at once.
They are of every coI, .civablr form and from
half dozen miles wide. dowa to size bare

qr:aintancc of mine living in Madison informs
me that at the last Democratic State Con-cn-
ton an unimportant motion which had been
made was opposed bv Levi who happened TO
be 4 member, with great energy Having
exhausted what he had TO say. lie commenced
again at the beginning and went through a
second time with very little variation except
a greater volume OF sound. Ills speech very
much rcsemhlcd the motion of a wheel, said
my informant. How MANY revolutions i,
would have made it is impossible TO say had
not the author of the motion in A voice which
rose above that of Villas, called out. If the
gentleman will stop his noise viii withdraw
