ELECTION FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, President AND
YIcE-PREsrDENT-We have had occasion recently to
look to the law passed at the extra session of
gress for the election of members of congress and pre-

ing for the permanent organisation of the government
requires that in all those States in which provision
has been made for the election of members of
under the new constitution election shall be held on
the first Wednesday in November next at which time
the election Of electors for president and vicepredent
shall also be held The electors required to meet
in their respective States the first Wednesday in De
cenber thereafter and proceed to cast their votes for
president anl president
The members who may be elected, and the senators
be chosen by the States shall assemble at the seat of
government of the Confederate States theISth day
of February, 1862, and proceed respectively TO the
election of speaker of the house and president of the
senate On the goth day of February the president of
the senate shall open the certificates the votessha then
be counted and the president inauguraed the 22d
day of February, 1862. Alabama having no law con-
ravenng the act of congress- the election for members
of congress will take place in this State the first Wednes
day in November next Montgomery Advertiser.

One very great absurdty attending the hurrying of
militia men into actual service is that the sabers
both of officers Of foot and even Of cavalry soldiers
not sharpened. A sword blade not sharpened, is of
little more use than cudgel The point is, of course
its most deadly applications butthe eges also terrible
when accurately applied. Asaber blade should be made
very sharp for about fifteen eighteen inches the
front edge and for about six inches on the back.

EVACUATION OF HARPER's FERRY.-The several re-
ports of the evacuation Of Harper Ferry by our troops
appear at last to have assumed definite and positive
shape. This maneuVer will take the whole south by
surprise We confess that in the reception of this in
teligence compelled to draw largely upon our
confidence in the superior sagacity and straegieal skill
of our military commanders Unless followed by some
bold and energetic aggressive movement the effect of
this evacuation must be discouraging We shall look
for such movement with confidence. The temper of
people and Of armies is decidedly hostile to those
retrograde movements. They woudrather fight at the
risk of being whipped than be continually falling back
