Carleton's Map of Iowa.

We have, on one or two occasions, referred to
u forthcoming map of Iowa, by G. H. Carleton,
Esq, formerly resident ofthis City, and intimat-
ed that they were to have appeared at a much
earlier date than the present.
We have lately received a letter from Mr.
Carleton, dated at Mackinac, July 9th, in which
he informs US that the maps are now ready fol
circulation, and that a quantity ofthem will soon
be forwarded to Mr.. Spauldng of this City, fol
sale.
Mr.. Carleton apologies to the Public for the
delay which has attended the publication of his
map, and attributes it entirely to a disappoint
ment in not being able to get them engraved sc
soon as he was promised. We shall speak ofth
map, when we shall have had an opportunity O
examining it.

The Census.

We have been informed that the Assistant U.
S. Marshal for this District has received the ne
cessary papers preparatory to taking the census,
and that he has already commenced operations
In abiding to this subj ect last week, we took
occasion to mention the fact that in one of our
sister States, secret circulars were issued to the
Assistant Marshals, from head quarters, the pur.
port and object of which was, that these Assist
ants should avail themselves of their official po-
sition in their intercourse with the people, to ia
ciIitate and encourage the organization of the
Wing party within the sphere of their respective
jurisdictions. And in the same connection, we
uttered word of caution to our democratic breth.
rem in this State.
We regret, however, to know that this has
caused our friend Gen. Jesse NJ Harrison mo.
mentary uneasness. Owing to the misrepre-
sensations of some false friend of his he has been
led to believe that we, by our remarks, intended
to throw obstacles in the path of his duty. We
intended no such thing; on the contrary we ear.
nestly desire that the information which he is
authorised to collect, will be most cheerful Civ.
en-. We mean to keep clear~ot such cgg-dnd
chicken opposition would impede an Assistant
Marshal in the discharge of his duty, by sub.
jecting him to any petty annoyance. Let these
functionaries discharge their legitimate duties r
they shall hear nothing from US but commenda.

1t appears from the late intelligence that the
defeat of the Schleswg army at the recent battle,
was owing to the want ofammunition rather than
the result of hard fought battle. No doubt
exists but that the retreat was orderly, and the
army will soon be ready for action as at first
By the DANISH report of the battle, it appears
they lost ~ officers killed and "a wounded, Ia
pryatcs killed and 1900 wounded. ~
Gen. Wolloson, the Schleswig General, does
not report his loss, but regrets the large number
killed. ,.~t
The news Of the battle in the Duchics, has
excited alarm throughout northern Germany
and in Hamburg meetings were held, at which
1000 persons were present. A petition to the
King was presented that the Hanoyerian army
might be sent to the aid Of Schleswig.

GONE OF THE FEW" A communication ap
peared in the Telegraph of yesterday, over thi:
| signature, containing critique on our remarks
in relation to the result of the congressional el
ection in this district. We declined that com
munication because we considered it achig ar
ticle, and advised the author to publish it in
wing paper, fiat all He has done so, and we
are satisfied, "and hope these few lines will fine
him enjoying the same blessing.
No one, politically friendly to us would eve,
mag that we intended a comparison of the
popularity of the candidates for State and Dis
trct Offices with each other. This is comparison
which cannot be properly made, one man
may get more votes for one office than he would
for another. We spoke with entire reference tc
the congressional district and to the only com.
parison which can be properly made, viz: tc
previous congressional elections.
The majoritics for all the Offices have been
greatly increased within the bounds of this con,
gressional district and it is fair to conclude that
this result has, in a measure sprung from the
thorough and acceptable manner in which the
district was canvassed.
