The WEArnER-Thc days of the past
week have been assorted to suit the gem
eral character of the winter. On Satur-
day night it was cold enough to block the
ice above the mouth of the Wisconsin,
so that crossing with teams was begun,
but on yesterday the sun came out warm,
sleighing in the roads gave way and it
now looks as if the reign of winter could
not be established at all. The Telegraph
is SO tickled with the beauty of the
weather, that it ticks Of nothing but
"c1ear and pleasant days from Maine
to Georgia. Our town was full Of teams
yesterday, and if the birds were here,
we should call it Spring. The Ferry
has hauled off, but the crossing is done
by boat and ice without danger.

LETTER FROM THE CAPITOL.

Dies MONIES, Jan. 6, 1853.
EDIroR T MES:
Dear Sir The members of the Legislature
have all or nearly all assembled, notw iths.and-
ing three days have yet to expire before they
will be convened.
Jones of the Dccorah Republican will be The
Clerk of the House. The contest for Speaker
will be between Shelladay Of JASPER and Will
son of Fairi4 Id. Wilson perhaps will be the
man. 1t is thought that the republican men,
ters will hold Caucus on Saturday evening,
to determine WHO shall be the officers of the
two Houses. 1t is however conceded on all
sides that Jones will be the Clerk. The U. S.
Senator will without do,bt be elected next
week, notwithstanding the effort that will he
made by the opponents of Grimes to procrasti-
nate thc election. The candidates are Grimes,
W. p. Clak, j. Thorington-t,e two latter
jointly, will control in caucus about nine votes
Grimes all the balance. 1t generally be-
lieved here that Bssell will get the vote of the
member from Jackson Co., but it is denied by
People from that County. The political CAPT.
tai of Dubuque is below par here. The mem.
beers of the present Legislature are satisfied
that the North Of Iora extends beyond the cor
poIatc limits of the City of Dubuque. The
North of Iowa is here, with a strong represen-
tation in The character of her members, and |
should not be surprised if through their agency
and the agency Of Grimes, that grant of land
or presumption right IS secured for the Me-
Gregor Railroad. The time for the accomplish.
ment Of this object was never more favorable
than now. In the person of Grimes this Grant
will have warm friend, should he be elected
Senator /; to which post he will be elected
should he not die before the expiration of seven
days.
Gov. Lowe will recommend State Bank
with branches, in preference to general bank.

north will be located either at Cedar Ra, ids
West Union, or in Clay ton Co. Dubuque, that
has SO long ridden over the North with iron
slices, will stand but small chance in tic
distribution Of these favurs.
