CoNGREssMEN.-O or two ambitious
individuals have announced themselves as
candidates for Congress, under ihe imprcs
sion that California will be entitled to three
members, and in yesterdays Union.are pub
lished some extracts from the law of 1850
to prove that California will be allowed
three Representatives in the Thirty Seventh
Congress. 1t appears that the Secretary
Of the Interior has notified the Governor
of California of the number Of fCongressmen
to which the several States will be entitled
under the new apportionment; but if that
notification were examined we Opine it will
be found to state that the new appOrlion.
ment commences with the Thirty Eighth
Congress. There has been some talk OF
calling together the Central Committees of
the different parties for the purpose Of NOM
mating a third candidate for each OF the
tickets. but before going to that trouble it
would be we'll for the Chairmen TO consult
authorities or the snhject. We are quite
well convinced that California will not be
entitled to three members of the House un-
til after the 4th of March, 1868, when the
term of the Thirty-Eighth Congress COM
mences.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-08-08

GEN. PATTERsoN.-W find in Eastern
correspondence the following sketch of Ger
Patterson, who is made the scape-goat Of
The disaster al Manassas:
Major General Robert Patterson was born in
Ireland in 1892, and emigrated to this country
when quite young, taking up his abode in Phil
adephia. He received collegiate education,
and early manifested military inclinations. After
graduating at college, he was appointed LIST
Lieutenant in the 22d regiment of regular U. s.
Infantry, in April 1872. lie was transferred to
the 32d Infantry; appointed Assistant Quarter
master General with the rank Of captain) jan
uary, 1918, and Captain in line 1874 and there
upon reinquished rank in the staff. lie retired
from the army in the same year, upon the dis
bandment of his regiment. He subsequ~ ntly
followed the profession of the law in his adOP-
ted city, and for many years was connected with
the military of Philadelphia. In l847 he was
appointed Major-General of volunteers, and
proceeded to Mexico and assumed command Of
his division. He was actively engaged in the
siege of Vera Cruz but shortly afterward his
health failed, and he returned TO the United
States.

THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. 8, 1861.
Political Speaking.

Hon. John Conness and Henry EdgertUn
will address the citizens at Nevada on Sat
urday evening next, and we trust there will
be large turnout to hear them. COnness
is 40 argumentative aud convincing speak
er. and Edgerton is beyond question, the
most brilliant orator in the State. The
meeting will be held on Broad street, in
front Of Harrington's saloon.
Messrs Phelps and Ashley, candidates
on the Republican ticket, are announced to
speak in Nevada the same evening, aud
there has been some talk of having the
speakers discuss the political issues from
the same stand but no definite arrange
ment will be made until the gentlemen
arrive.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-08-08

NORTHWESTERN MIssOURI.-The St. Louis
Evening News, of July 23d. has the follow.
ing account Of the suppression of seces
sion outbreak in Northwestern Missouri:
There has been some tyoEble in Nodaway
county, in the northwestern part of the State,
between the Union men and the Secessionists.
caused by the violent proceedings of the latter.
At Marysville they assembled to the number Of
go, and committed so many acts of violence
that the Union men gatheEed in superior force,
surrounded the town and took so of them pris-
oners. Twenty were released on taking the
oath of allegiance to the Federal Government,
but the remainder were held under guard. In
the meantime, strong force Of Union men
from Iowa arrived at Marysvie to assist the
Union men, and the SecessiOnist pxisoners ap-
pealed to them for protection from the Noda-
way county Union men, who were threatening
to hang them. 1t was only by the earnest in
reference of the Iowa troops, assisted by de-
tachnent of Federal troops that had arrived
from St. Joseph, that the execution of this
threat was prevented. All Of the prisoners were
finally released except 8, who were taken TO St.
Joseph.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-08-08

SUMMARY VENGEANCE.-The dastardly
and cold blooded murder Of Capt. Sharp
and Lieut.. Jaeger, by the secessiOnists in
Missouri will at once give the war in that
State fierce partisan character, and lead
to excesses and cruelties without number.

TIE CoMET.-It appears by a statement
of Professor Bond, Of the Harvard Obser
vatory, that We narrowly escaped colli-
sion with the tail of the comet " hich lately
appeared in the heavers He says:
"Until within the past week the head of the
comet has not been visible in the Northern hem
ispheTe. 1t crossed from the Southern side OF
the plane of the earth orbit about the 18th OF
June. Previous 10 that date it must have been
a brilliant object in the Southern Hemisphere
especially at the time of its perihelion passage,
which took place on the llth of June. On the
28th. the earth passed close to the tail which
crossed our path day or two only IN advance
OF us, so that we barely escaped passing through
it. The distance of the comet from the earth
is now about twenty-five millions of miles, and
it will be satisfaction TO some, perhaps, to
know that it is increasing. 1t will soon fade
out of sight"
According to the statement of Mr.. Thatch-
er. New York astroogist, the comet was
never nearer than twelve millions of miles
of the earth. Professor Bond, however, is
better authority upon that subject than the
astrolOgisi. 1t Is generally supposed by
scientific men that comets are composed OF
light gaseous matter that would have no
appreciable effect in case of collision with
planet, but the gases would probably be
destructive of all animal life.
