ELECTION or CoNGREssMEN.-A bill was
introduced into the Assembly, week or
two ago, by Mr.. Conness, providing for the
holding of the State election this year, on
the first Wednesday in July, in order that
the State might be represented in case an
extra session of Congress was called. In.
telligence having since been received of an
extra session being called TO meet on the
4th of July, the special committee to whom
Mr.. Conness' bill was referred, reported a
substitute on Thursday, providing for the
election Of the two Congressmen in the lat
ter part Of May, or early in June, SO that
California may be represented. The bill
was made the special order for yesterday
and will probably become law. The plan
proposed by the special committee,iof elect
ing Congressman only, is preferable to that
of changing the time for the election of all
the State officers.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-27

THE New APPORTIoNMENT.-The New
York Tribune thus Onalyzes the loss aud
gain of representation in Congress, to each
of the sections of the country, on the new
apportionment, based on the census Of 1861:
"The House of Representatives in the Thirty
Eighth Congress is reduced to 233 members, Of
whom Isl are from the free States, so from the
border slave States, and 81 from the Southern
Confederacy. The seeded States lose and
gain Representatives by this census. The
border slave States lose 6 and gain 3 by the
same figures. Net loss to all the slave States,
Representatives.
The free States that lose are, Maine, Massa-
ehusetts, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Ver-
mont, one each, New York and Pennsylvania,
two each, and Ohio three-in all IL. Those
that gain are California one, Michigan two,
Iowa and Wisconsin three each, and Illinois
four--in all l3-net gain, one."
1t is not improbable that some change
will be made in the apportioument law, at
the next session Of Congress, dividing the
80 members to which the seeded States
would be entitled. among the other States.
In that case, California will be entitled to
four members.

DISTINGUISHED ARRIvAIS.-Among the
passengers by the Golden Age, which ar.
rived on Thursday, were Senator Latham,
aud ex-senator Lane. A salute was fired
in honor of Latham, on the arrival of the
steamer, aud Lane having the presumption
to suppose the firing was intended for him,
took a position on the quarter deck as the
steamer neared the wharves, intending no
doubt to respond. But sundry expressions
from the crowd, such as "seeessiOnst, y
TRAITOR" etc., induced him to retite below
deck. Lane is on his way to Oregon, to
urge the Democracy there to adopt the con-
stitution of the Confederate States as their
platform.

The PreaIdent,s ProoInmntIon.

The ST. Louis correspondent OF the Union
gives the proclamation of the President,
which appears to have been issued on the
I4lh inst. 1t is short but very much to the
point:
Whereas, The laws of the United States have
been and are now opposed in several States, by
combinations too powerful to be suppressed in
the ordinary way, therefore call for the militia
Of the several States Of the Union to the aggre-
gate number of $1,000, to suppress said cOmbi-
nations and execute the laws. l appeal to all
loyal citizens to facilitate and aid this effort to
maintain the laws and integrity of the National
Union, and the perpetuity of popular govern
ments, and redress wrongs that have long been
endured. The first service assigned to the force
will be to repossess the forts, places and pro-
perty that have been seized from the Union.
The utmost care will be taken consistent with
the object to avoid destitution and destruction
or interference with the property of peaceful
citizens in any part of the country, and hereby
command persons composing the aforesaid
combinations to disperse within twenty days
from date. hereby convene both Houses of
Congress for the 4th Of July next, to determine
upon measures which the public safety and in
terest demand.

BRONZE MoNEY.-A new coinage of
bronze has lately been introduced into En-

the beginning of the century. It is CON-
posed of 95 parts of copper, 4 Of tin, and l

diminish the wear, while it has none Of the
coppery smell of-the old coin. The British

required in two years and a half, the enor.

AN INCIDENT AT PENsAcOLA.-A letter TO
the Eufaula (Ala.) Express, from Fort Bar
rancas, relates the following incident which
lately occurred at Pensacola:
A man named Doyle, one of the workmen at
the navy yard, slipped over to Fort Pickens, a
few days ago, and came very near getting in
before he was discovered He had bundle of
rat-taii files in his pocket, and says if it had
not been for a sergeant holding lantern up to
his face, as he was going in the door, he would
have had every gun spiked in twenty minutes.
He was sent back by Slemmer, with the re-
quest that he be dealt with, as he did not wish
to do anything that might bring about a collis-
sion, which was so much to be deprecated. Col.
Clayton sent note in reply, by the hands of
private Bullock (who, by the by, has since been
promoted to a eorporalcy) stating that he would
punish Doyle, but just at this time he had too
much need of his services in casting cannon
balls. The conference took place just outside
the fort.

DEATH OF JACOB KoHLMAN.-A letter was
received 10 town yesterday evening, from
New Orleans, stating that Jacob KOhlman
had met with an untimely death in that
city. 1t appears that be was shot by a
Spaniard, but whether purposely or acci-
dentally we have not learned, and died
about ten days after from the effect of the
wound. He had been married but few
days before he was shot. Mr.. Kohlman re-
sided in Nevada for many years, but left
some six or eight months ago for New Or
leans, where be intended to permanently
reside. His old friends and acquaintances
here were much palned at the intelligence
Of his death.
