u. =. Mnrshnls for Illinois,

The U. 5. Marshal, for this State (Col. Prem
tiss) has appointed the following Deputies
Col. John b. Hundly, Alton.
Peter Van Bergen, Springfield.
William p. White, formerly of this county, to
reside in Chicago.
The last named gentleman will doubtless give
general satisfaction to the inhabitants of this sec.
ton of the State. In politics he agrees with the
present National Administration, whilst its oppo-
nents have no cause OF complain, by the appoint
mcnt of Mr.. w. who is well qualified for this i'm.
portant station. We hope the other appointm ents
will prove equally satisfactory, and thus balance
the evil inflicted on the character ofthc nation by
the appointment of important public officers, who
were VIGOROUSLY destitute of character or ability,
and no recommendation in their favor save the sac.
,ilegious ceremonies performed over the defunct
carcass Of chicken.
