ermOnt Under the New AppOrtIOnment.

Within few days We have seen an abstract
of the late census which is undoubtedly to
be relied upon as authentic. In connection
herewith Is the new apportionment of the
Congressional representation, by which it aD-
pears to be fixed fact that for the next ten
years Vermont will be entitled to but two
members of the House of Representatives.
It is not long since this state sent to the
House of Representatives six members, but
each decade has brought about a gradual
reduction until the number is soon to be but
two. Vermont is evidently small state but
there is consolation in the fact that she can
not be made thus publicly to appear much
smaller. Under the present Constitution she
will always be entitled to one member.
This apportlonment will render it nccessa-
~ for the next legislature to re-district III.
state. Fortunately there are no con,idera-
tons touching 'the balance of power" nrceS.
sary to be regarded in this connection. The
fewer districts we have the less chance is
there for our opponents to succeed. 1t is
not possible even by the most approved sys-
TEN of "gerrymandering" to give them a
chance. The most natural and therefore the
most probable division will be made by the
not altogether imaginar! line which now DO
litically divides the state into the least side
and the "wea side In such an event the
counties Of Windham, Windsor, Orange, Cal
edonia, Essex, Orleans and Washington will
form one district, and those of Bennington,
Rutland, Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, La

and the marked success which has already
attended this department eff education is a
sufficient indication of its practical utility
Yet eXtravagant expense IN a matter of
this kind is BY no means a necessary infer
ence. The construction Of certain gymnas-
tic apparatus suited to the necessities of 4
village like this, could be very readily and e.
economically effected. Given, pla: of ground
Of convenient access, and all which would be
requisite for opening the spring campaign
may be reduced to three general heads =
g-swing, vaultlng rod and parallel bars,
both horizontal and vertical. Multam in
parvo is rule in gymnastics. Other appIl-
ances could be added according to demand,
as spring boards, vaulting horses. rope lad
ders, dumb bells, boxing loves, etc,.-the
whole expense ranging from SO to so, and
arched, as in many similar cases, simply by
natures ample roof. 1t would hardly Stem
desirable that country village should appro-
pirate great many thousands to such a
structure, nor would it be abSolutel y necessa-
ry to pro ject an invasion of Nicaragua with
the Interior design of manufacturing mahoga-
ny vaultinS horses.
There is little danger that in this enlight
ened age physical education will assume an
undue Importance. Mind is not to be offset
by muscle, and it is only the harmonious de
velopment Of both together which will real
ize the true idea Of manly symmetry. The
days are gone that norrished those non sen-
tlments which seemed to annihilate nature II
self, and which led the Spartan mother to
carry out her weakly infant to be torn by the
wolves of Taygetus. The world has grown
wiser III three thousand wears, and the
Influences OF enlightened christianity have
diSpellcd the absurdities Of darker ages. Yet
We may well consider whether the present
generation is not sacrificing much of its pos
siblc glory, and whether i; might not return
with somewha, Of simplicity and dignity too,
to the noble games of those iron ointcd,
supplesincwed" athletes, who used TO bind
on the boXiI & thong and hurl the discus over
the broad plains of Ellis. QCX.

\ despatch from Charleston TO the New
York Herald says that the authorizes have
received c!Ficia. notification that supplies will
be furnished to Major Anderson by the fede-
raj government, cost what it may. Immense
preparations were therefore Immediately COM
menced by the ,ecessionists. Orders were
issued for the entire militar. reserve to pro-
coed to their stations. Four regiments Of
1000 men each were telegraphed for from the
country. Ambulances and other preparations
for the wounded were being made. At mid
night, Monday, seven guns from the citadel
was the signal for assembling all the reserves,
ard the city was thrown into Il e greatest ex-
citement. The 18th regiment, 500 strong ,as.
sembled in one hour and left for the fortifica-
tons at 8 o'clock a. m. All the vessels in
the harbor, necessary for transportation,
would be put in service by room. A fleet of
seven United States vessels was reported Oft
tie bar. Major Anderson displayed signal
lights during the night from the walls of
Fort Sumter. 1t is believed the fight will
commence at Stone, % miles Southwark, the
batteries along the coast being silenced in
turn. After clearing Morris Island, the Uni
TED States forces will cross to Fort Sumter.
while Major Anderson engages Fort Moul-
trie.

,,ur members ofConsress to the republicans
although the republican state ticket was re-
elected in Connecticut by an increased major,
i,y. The majority for Gov Buckingham is
about 17OO-last year it was 800. In the 4th
district, Woodruff, democrat. was elected by
so majority. IN Rhode Island the repuoll
cans were defeated by the coalition. Gov
Sprague is reelected, and two democratic
