FELLOW CrIESs:-I am informed that, for the pur-
pose OF preventing my election to the Office of CITY
MARSHAL certain parties circulating the report
that have promised TO appoint on the Police, il !
am elected. parties unsuitable for such appointment
Such report is intended only to deceive you. The
appointment Of the Police is the duty Of the Board of
Trustees and not that of the Marshal and you will
see that the right sort of men be put that Board
Three years continuous service in the Police Of this
cityis a sufficient pledge that ifI elected Marshal
will faithfully discharge the duties Of the Office.

and the retreat began. The citizens of the
place, who were evidently in league with
the party advancing TO seize the arsenal,
were instantly in arms, pursued and killed
two of the soldiers. The troops crossed the
Potomac bridge, marched all night, and
arrived at Cbambersburg the next day.
Lieut.. Jones reports that as the troops were

Conrresalonnl Dlstrlcts.

Mr.. Fargo, Chairman of the Assembly
Apportionment Committee, has reported a
bill dividing the State into three Congress
ional Districts. The Districts are composed
as follows:
First District.-San Diego, San Bemardino,
Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo,
Tulare, Fresno, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa
Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and
San Francisco.
Second Observation-Disclosures, Merced, Stanis-
laus, Tuolumne, Mono, Calayeras, San Joa-
quin, Sacramento, Amador, FL Dorado, Placer
and Nevada.
Third District.-Marin, Sonoma, Solano,
Napa, Yolo, Colusi, Lake, Mendocino, Trinity,
Humboldt, klamath, Del Norte, Siskiyou,
Shasta. Tehama, PlumaS, Butte, Sierra, Yuba
and Sutter.
BY this apportionment, the population of
the several Districts will be as follows, &C.
cording to the census:
First District ..l3l ,64
Second District. .................l36 l36,95O
Third District. ........s.......1ll,4l All
This is not very equal division. The
frs! District has 1000 more than its pro-
portion of inhabitants, the second 10000
more, and the third $4,000 less than its pro-
portion. We're Nevada county taken from
the second District and attached to the
third, Tulare from the first and given to the
second, the population of each would then
be as follows:
First District. ,Ol6
Second District. .................l25,l ,l4l
Third District. III ,60o
This would certainly be more equal di-
vision of the population, aud the change
would not mar 10 the least the elegant
shape aud beautiful proportions Of the sew
eral Districts.
The bill provides that one Member of
Congress shall be elected in each District at
the general election in 1862, and every two
years thereafter. This change, so that Con-
gressmen can be elected before the term
commences, should certainly be made. and
the State should be distrcted, either by the
present or the next Legislature.

To ALL DIsUNoNsTs-THE HORRORS OF
CIVIL WAR,-As a warning to the American
people at this time, they should read the his
tory of the French Revolution, and contem-
plate its horrible results. The extent to
which blood was shed during its continuance
will hardly be credited by the present age,
but it is correctly stated that the number of
victims reached one million, twenty-five
thousand three hundred and fifty-one. OF
this number eighteen thousand six hundred
and three were guillotined by the order of
the Revolutionary Tribunals, thirty-two
thousand were victims under Carrier at
Nantes; thirty-two thousand ut Lyons; three
thousand four hundred women died of prema-
ture child birth; three hundred and forty
eight in childbirth from grief; and there
were slain, during the war In La Vondee,
nine hundred thousand men; fifteen thousand
women, and twenty-five thousand children;
in this enumeration are not comprehended
the massacres at Versailles; at the Abbey,
the Carmes and other prisons on the I'd OF
September; the victims shot at Toulon and
Marseilles; or the persons slain in the little
town of Bedotn, of which the whole popula-
ton persisted. Hagsrsto,cn (Hd.) Herald.
