A ARPDKTI0NmKNT EHRATTNG-
MARSHALL COUNTY.

4 specimen OF partisan cheating in the
appo1tionment scheme is found in the case
Of Marshall county. Peoria county has
G.s1o Inhabitants, and is given two repre-
scntatives, which is right The ratio re-
quires 1000. Marshall, which corners on
Peoria, contains Is, 4437i and is hisched to
Peo1ia to elect one representative between
them. The object in view is to swamp
Marshall, which is q Republican county.
The pretext for this dishonest trick is,
that Marshall has not quite enough popu-
lation to entitle her to separate Repre-
sentatire But this reason is rendered
nugato.y BY the act Of the Egyptians in
giving half q dozen pro-s1aFery counties
separate Representatives, each Of which
contains .fescer Inhabitants than -atas-
shall. For example, Williamson has
but 12;205; White, but 12,403
Jefferson but 1s,s65; Monroe but 1882;
Marion hut 12,723; Christian but 10,493,
and half dozen others have but few hun
dred more population. Now, If those
Egyptian counties are entitled each to a
representative, why should not Marshall
have ope2 It is one Of the best and most
fou1ishing counties in the State.
Why is it 50 shamefu1ly treated? Simply
because It's people arc not seeesh sympa-
thisers. They do not worship slavery,
They prefer freedom For this they are to
be reduced to yassa1age to the slaveocracy
Of Peoria, as punishment for their po1iti
cal heresy. And this outrage is commit
ted ty body that calls itself sovereign
Convention to frame IN organic law fol
the great State Of I'linois-a body tha'
ought to lie elevated high above dirty
groveling, partisan tricks. Marshall county
if We arr not mlsln6ormed, will assert he
rights, and give the Egyptian Constitution
a kick that will leave dent on it Sh

OF the fact that the rebel ntrenchments
at Centreville were armed with quaker
guns, we take it there ID no dispute. It is
suggestive Of the probability that the work
Of evacuation has been going on for some
time, and that the guns which these paint
ed logs Of wood replaced, hare been moved
to some new stronghold in which the rc-
treating rebels will be able to
make as stout a resistance as at
Manassas. As yet the public knows
nothing of their intentions, nor where they
propose TO make stand; but there is No
trusting in indications if our advancing
columns do not find that preparations fol
their reception have been going on fo1
months, and that they have still another
Manassas 10 overcome.

Washington Correspondence Pas1a. Inquirer.
Congress has at last aroused from its fatal
1etlnrgy into proper idea Of the necessity Of
immediate preparation to resist the iron-elad
navies Of Europe, and to obtain sufficient
humber, az rapidly as possible, to aid in crueh
ing the present rebellion
Commodore Stevens is here, by Invitation,
with models and drawings Of his famous
floating battery which aze attracting general
attention. Hia rooms are daily thronged with
members of Congress and scientific experts,
who express the greatest satisfaction with the
details OF his wondeIf invention.
This formidable craft combines all the elc-
ments Of the fastest steamer adoat, with the
powers Of resistance Of the moet inpregnahlc
fortress. It can be completed in sixty dayE,
and with an expenditure OF not one-ha1 Of the
sum which the famous ts Warrior " has cost
England. It Is understood thst the Commit.
