A New Territorial Government. The House of Representatives has been for the two last days, in accordance with a previous special order, pretty industriously engaged in despatch of business concerning the Territories of the United States. Among the bills which have passed the House is one which will doubtless become a law, (having previously passed the Senate,) for dividing the Wisconsin Territory, and erecting out of it a new Territorial Government, to be called the Territory Iowa. The name, at least, is in good taste.—Nat. In.
