twelve members OF Congress; the Legislature
is doubtful, but lost probably Democratic.
In Indiana the Democrats have carried the
State and seven Congressman, and the Re-
pubcans have four Congressman. In
Icsca The Republicans have carried the state
az d five members Of Congress to one Demo-
crat. In Wisconsin the Republicans have
carried the state; of the Congressman elect,
four are Republicans and two Democratic,
but the vote Of the volunteers may make
some changes in this enumeration. In Kan
sQS the state and Congressman is Republican
In Michigan the Republicans have carried the
state ticket and five of the six members of
Congress. From Missouri the returns as vet
are imperfect; the Legislature is doubtful
the Congressman will probably be five Re-
publican and four. Democratic. In Minneso-
u the Republicans have carried the state and
both members Of Congress. In Mas Sochu-
sets the Republicans have elected the Gov
ernor by a majority of over twenty thousand:
also ten members Of Congress, and an over
wholming majority in both branches of the
Legislature. In Ohio the Democrats have
elacted their state ticket by majority of
nearly ten thousand, and fourteen members
of Congress the Republicans have five Con-
grcssmen. In MtD York the Dem ocrats cleo
ted their Governor and tie rest of the state

Meeting Of Congress.

Before the Issue Of another number of the
Civilian, Congress, the great legislative as
sembly ofthe cou Try, viii have met at the
National Capitol. 1t will be charged with
the performance of duties more weghty and
in which is involved more of responsibility
than has ever fallen to any legislative body
on this continent. as at present constituted
the Republicans have decided working ma
jority, and as they appear to be disposed to
give hearty support to the measures of the
President, It is expected, that notwithstand-
ing the shortncss of the session, all necessary
steps will be taken to enable the Government
to carry on the war successfully until the
next Congress shall legally convene in De-
cember of 1868, thus dispensing with the ne
cessity of calling an extra session. .
This every loyal man will rejoice at, mas
much ns it is desirable that the rebellion
should be crushed out without unnecessary
delay, and peace and prosperity once more
restored to our unhappy country. ..

California is safe fir ON the designs of the Sc
cessionists? Out of a population Of 1875, 90
able-bodied men, 40, 900 are estimated to be
secessionists The plan TO obtain possession
il the government property last year having
been defeated, the secessionists are now estab-
fishing n colony insSonora, from which they
can effect surprise of California. Danger is
supposed to exist from the belief that Fran &c
earnestly desires to acquire foothold in the
Pacific ocean, and, if possible, somewhere on
the coast of America, where the precious me-
tails are found in abundance. OF the five re-
giments of nhntry, and one and IA half of ca
