Our Iowa exchanges are quarreling
about the recent election of JAMES HARLAN
t. the Senate Of the United States; the
Democratic journals contending that his
election is illegal, and the fusion organs de-
elaring it valid. We are of the opinion
that his election is illegal, and that the Sen
ate of the United States will refuse him a
Seat in that body. It will be remembered
10y our readers that the members of the
Senate refused to meet the House in joint
eonvention-that the joint convention did
meet without the concurrence of the upper
House, and proceeded to the election of a
Senator, although the President of the Sen
ute refused to preside over their delibera-
tlons; and that only portion of the men,
bers Of the Senate were present, and those
on the fusion faction. Gov. GRIMES and
Judge WRIGHT, both of the same political
complexion with HARLAN, give it as their
opinis ). that his election is not legal The
matter will soon come become before the
Sena9 for investigation, and that body
viii decide according to the merits of the
case.

ANOTHER GEORGIA GoLD MINE.-We were
shown, Monday, says the Augusta Sentinel
OF Jan. 18th, very handsome lot of gold
said to have been taken from O newly dis
covered deposit mine, near the line of War
rem and Columbia counties, and about a
mile from Fountain Camp Ground, in War
rem county. The Jumps varied in size from
four to five pennyweights, down to the
smallest particles collected by the aid Of
mercury. The deposit (they have not ye,
discovered vein) is situated on branch
and is supposed to cover an area of one mile
in length by 40 to 50yards in width. Thus
far, the average yield to the hand per day,
has been IL to 4 l-2 pennyweights.

The Captain Of the 23d regiment, writ

81 hear there is very cutting article against the

ring to the Inkernann and the absnrdity of mention
ing staff officers matter of form, the majority Of
whom contribute nothing (or ess) towards the fate
Of an action in general and Of this in particular.
No one would grumble if at the end Of campaign
they all got promoted rule, but mentioning them
as distinguishing themselves, when they did not, is
unjust One officer who was mentioned for Inksr-
man never left his tent all day-one mentioned for
Alma, and promoted accordingly, was not present at
all. Ifany one was to ask me what battle was
like, should say, Here are, there are the Rus
slams, you must lick them best you cam don't ex-
pect any more orders till all is over.' Such were
Alma and Inkermann. We should have done Just
the same if Lord Raglan and the of the Generals
with the exception of poor Sir G. Cathcart, Sir De
Lacy Evans, and few Brigaders) had been in Eng
land. The soldiers should have got the reward, no,

This is the closing day Of the Sixth Ses-
don Of the Legislative Assembly Of Mime
sofa. We know but few sections or per-
sons to whom this will not prove gratifying
news. The Territory would have been bet
Ter conditioned had it never convened.
The legislation of the session has been of
. special character. Less than half doz-
en- laws have been passed of general ma.
ture. The whole power of the Territory
has been used at the behest of some score
or so Of spectators, for their benefit, and
generally to the detriment of the public
good.
Very few among the present members
Will ever esoin diOs-Aoo tho Capitol with
Their official presence; while some who have
been bolstered up through acts of treach-
cry to their honor and their constituency
by those who have purchased and used
them, will sink into utter, universal con-
tempt. There are others, however, who
have withstood the approaches of sophistry
and bribery, and who will return to their
homes with fairer fame than they brought
from them. The minority of the present
legislature represent to-day its honesty
and intelligence; and are secure in the es-
TEEN of the people Of Minnesota.

FLOWERS IN WINTER.
PAINTED UPON A Ports LIvRE

How strange to greet, this frosty morn,
In graceful counterfeit of flowers,
These children of the meadows, born
OF sunshine and Of showers
For well the conscious wood retains
The pictures of its fiower-sown home
The lie hts and shades, the purple stains,
And golden hues Of bloom.
1t was happy thought to bring
To the dark seasons frost and rime
This painted memory Of Spring,
This dream Of Summer time.
Our hearts are lighter for its sake,
Our Fancy's age Tenews its youth,
And dim.remembered fctions take
The guise Of present truth.
wizard of the Merrimack,
$50 old ancestral legends say)
Could call green leaf and blossom back
To frosted stem and spray.
The dry logs of the cottage wall
Beneath his touch put out their leaves;
The clay -bound swallow, at his call,
Played round the icy caves.
The settler saw his oaken fail
Take bud and bloom before his eyes;
From frozen pools he saw the pale,
Sweet summer lilies rise.
To their old homes, by man profaned,
Came the sad dry ads, exiled long,
And through their ieafy tongues complained
Ofhousehold use and wrong
The beechen platter sprouted wild,
The pipkin wore its old-tiEe green;
The cradle DER the sleeping child
Became a leafy screen.
HAPPY our gentle friend hath met,
While wandering in her sylvan quest,
Haunting his native woodlands YET,
That Druid of the West
And, while the dew on leaf and flower
Glistened in moonlight clear and still,
Learned the dusk wizards spell of power,
And caught his trick of skill.
But welcome, be it new or old,
The gift which makes the day more bright,
And paints upon the ground of cold
And darkness, warmth and light
Without is neither gold nor green,
Within, for birds, the birch logs sing,
Yet, summer-like, we sit between
The Autumn and the Spring.
The one, with bridal blush of rose,
And sweeter breath of woodland balm,
And her whose matron lips unciose,
In smiles Of sanity calm.
Fill soft and deep, oh Winter snow.
The sweet aZalia oaken dells,
And hide the banks where roses blow,
And swing the azure bells.
O'erlay the amber violet's leaves,
The purple aster's brOOk-side home;
Guard all the flowers her pencil gives,
A life beyond the bloom.
And she, when Spring comes round again,
BY greening slope and singing food,
ehall wander, seeking, not in vain,
Her darlings of the wood.
