All of the free States, except Calitor-
mia, have now elected their Representa-
tives to the next Congress. The dele
CATION from California will likely stand
as before-two Democrats. There is q
vacancy in the representation ftom Penn
sylvania, caused by the death of Mr..
Scranton, of the Twelfth District. 1t is
quite as likely that it will be filled by
a Democrat as by Republican MIR.
Scranton being elected last November
by only Cos majority in poll of22, 743
votes, Notwithstanding his great popu-
larity and the full tide of Republican
triumph which then swept Pennsylva-
mia. Everywhere that tide is having
its ebb, sud should an early election be
rendered necessary by the call Of an ex-
ira session of Congress, the chances, we
think, are that the delegation from
Pennsylvania would stand seven Demo-
Gratis to eighteen Republicans, instead
of six to nineteen, as it did last Fall.
Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Maryland, have yet to
elect. But as no Republicans will be
elected from any of these States, we
may consider Congress settled. The
Thirty-Seveuth Congress will therefore

DEMAND FOR SEAMEN ON THE LAKES.
The Buffalo Courier learns that the
demand for seamen was never so great
at that port a. at the present time.
From three to FIVE hundred men could
obtain immediate employment at $25
per month. Accounts from Oswego
also complain of the scarcity of seamen
at that port.

The Fight Goes On.

Dispatches received Saturday morn
ing aud published IN this number, cor
roborates the news published in Satur-
days paper. The fight goes on almost
without interruption. Within ten days
there will be something to fight about,
sure. Not less than fifty thousand
Northern troops will be in the field by
that time, and then there will be such =
rafting of heavy hail and clashing OF
steel as has not been known in this
country. There is no backing down
now. Nobody expects the Seceders to
finch hair, and we feel confident that
the General Government has no such in
tention. The conflict OF brethren is GER
tain. Thousands and tens Of thousands
will lay down their lives within the next
sixty days. It is horrible to contemplate.
There is no use in contemplating it.
There is no use Of whining over it il
fighting is the order Of the day, Why 90
in and fight it out. If the horrors OF
war are inevitable, then 80 be it. We
would like to see it otherwise, but prob
ably can't be accommodated right
away.

Before il VS. expected BY DAY or
two, We get the sad news that war has
actually oommenced; that the Revolu-
tionists have taken appeal to the highest
tribunal known smopg tho nations Of
the ssst6-have appealed to the God Of
bsttlsa Il IL not unexpected. The
news. = Il falls upon the public ssr, will
not psoduce that Wild sensation it oSber-
wise might, because it has been expect
cd. The public must bear in mind that
the dispatches come from Charleston,
and are indited by the Revolutionists,
and therefore are more or less solored
to suit their side. II what We published
Saturday morning is true, it is almost
certain that the war steamers sent out
to aid in the supplying of Anderson
and his men, are very much needed on
the spot. Whether they will vcatnre
there or not, is matter Of surmise.
The position Of Major Anderson is
very unenviable one. Walled in on all
sides by powerful batteries, no portion
Of his fort 10 free from attack. lie will
undoubtedly hold his position just as
long as any good soldier could hold 1t ;
but unless snccored by our troops or
war steamers, he cannot long remain
where he is; the odds are too great
against him.
The 6rSt gun is from the Seceders. In
fact they opened the fire nearly two
months ago, upon the Star Of the West.
Our Government will now only act or
the defensive. The refusal On the part
Of the South to permit the Federal
Government to convey provisions to her
men at Sumter, is not the thing for this
age Of the world. The demand was a
just one, and the fiat refusal by the
South to comply Herewith, inexcussble.
We cannot see it in any other light. We
had hoped that there would have been
Indignantly enough left to have permit
ted the landing Of such supplies Of pro-
visions as the men stood in need Of to
aIlay hunger, but it seems otherwise.
What then! The Government of the
United States has got to travel one Of
two roads. It has either got to &C
knowledge the Confederate States Is a
separate nationality, and with her make
AN amicable settlement Of the partner
ship affairs OF the Union, or else she
must unhcsitatingly raise force ade-
quate to crush out the rebcllious spirit
which pervales the South. There is no
middle ground. No mastery inactivity,
no parleying or paIaycring, no hide-and-
go-seek policy is going to settle this
trouble. II must be open, fair and
square, daylight work. 1t 10 our opinion
that Government will not recognize the
independence Of the Confederate States
1t is our opinion that the Government
cannot cOerce the Confederate States
short Of bloody revolution of at least
three years duration. The power is on
the side of Government. We have the
most men and the most money. Those
are the sinews of war, and we have
them. Which road will the President
indicate ? Let him not hesitate long,
or all resistance may be useless.
