cussion of these, or similar questions,
to divert us from the paramount pur-
pose of prosecuting the war earnestly
and vigorously, until all men in rebel
lion against the Government shall
either voluntarily or by compulsion,
lay down their arms. In this consists
our only safety. and | feel well assur-
ed that you will, SO far as depends on
you, see to it that Iowa, in the future
as in the past, will do her full share OF
this good work, promptly and well.
The position occupied by our state,
in this war for the preservation of the
Union, is proud and enviable one.
From the first outbreak of the rebel
lion until the present time, Iowa has
neither faltered nor wavered in the
discharge Of her duty. In both branch.
es of the National Council she has
presented an unbroken front TO trea-
son and rebellion, and has given a
steady and undivided support to the
General Government Her state gov
ernmcnt, in all it's branches, has given
evidence of her unflinching and un-
conditional loyalty and devotion to
the good cause. Her people have, at
all times and promptly, filled all req
uisitions made upon them tor troops
to fill the ranks of the Union armies !;
and the men she has sent to the field
have been, at least, second to none in
all soldierly qualities.
I To these men yet another word IS
due from me. When this war began,
ours was new state, without his
tory. Today, her name stands on
one Of the brightest pages of our coun-
try's record-graven there by the bay
onets of our brave soldiers, and that
page is all over glowing with the
proofs of their heroism and devotion.
We have sent to the field no regiment
of which we do not feel justly proud,
and the bare mention of the names OF
many of them stirs the blood and
warns the heart of every lowan.
1t may perhaps be permitted me to
say that / trust that when the history
of the gallantry and devotion of these
men shall be written, the position
have held will of necessity connect
my name humbly, and not discredita
bly,, with theirs, and that this trust at
fords compensation for somewhat o
toll and care which have ATTENDED
that position, and should be suf1icien
} to satisfy an ambition greater thar
mine

From Des Moines.

The members of the Legislature
had a serious time in reaching the
capital. All the railroads were block
AIDED with snow-drifts, and consequent
ly some of orr northern members were
compelled to travel across the coun.
try by private conveyance, being
nearly a week on tho journey while
others went by way of Chicago. The
latter route was taken by the gentle
men from Winnesheik. Clayton, &c.
who, from Chicago, took the Rock Is
land and Iowa City route, arriving in
Dcs Moines on Saturday evening. The
eastern mail went into Dcs Moines at
that time, it being the first mail re-
ceived there from the East for ten
days A little too far out of the
world is our State Capital.
Our readers must cultivate their
stock of patience in reference to Leg
islative proceedings. We shall keep
them fully advised of the doings OF
the assembled WISDOM" and at as
early dates as the arrival Of the mails
will permit
We apprehend that the members of
the Legislature will not get rery rich out
of their per diem and mileage, even
if they charge "ria Chicago" Board
is only Sl4 per week at the Savery
House, and at private houses, with
four or more in room, the lowest
price charged is Sc per week. Who
wouldn't be legislator, anxious to
serve the dear people,?

We understand that the Cedar Rap
ids railroad was opened, and the cars
commenced running through to State
Centre. on Saturday the 9th inst. The
snow blockade on that road was very
formidable, but the remarkable ener.
gy in the management of the road
would not allow unnecessary de-
lay. At State Centre there were a
large number of hogs awaiting ship
ment at the time of the blockade, aud
from the want of proper shelter some
two hundred were frozen to death, SO
intensely cold was the weather.
