ILLINOIS APPORrIONMENT.

It's known that the Illinois constitutional
convention have it in contemplation to appor-
ton the state anew into congressional dis.
trcts, in order to give the people the increas.
ed representation to which the population en-
titles them. Ia this connection the Chicago
Tribune has made wonderful discovery. II
has been burrowing into the United States
constitution, and has rooted out the following
fourth section Of article first:
"The times, places and manner Of holding
elections for senators and representatives
shall be prescribed in each state by tie tegts.
lahre thereof, but the congress may by law
make or alter such regulations, except as to
the places OF choosing senator's
Now, 1t is not designed by the Illinois con.
vention to change or prescribe the times,
places and manner Of holding elections, for
representatives, and consequently the 7riJ-
unes quotation does not apply. Should new
congressional districts be erected. the people
would vote at the same times and places and
in the same manner as directed by the legis-
lature. Let the 7rtJUns try It's hand again !!

General order No. !.
In pursuance of requisitlon by the presi-
dent of the United States upon the COVER
nor of Vermont, and in consideration of the
necessity of more troops from Vermont for
the vigorous prosecution of the war for the
Union thereby indicated, and in reliance up
on the known patriotism and loyalty of the
citizens Of the State which demands, that all
the assistance needed by government slalI
be afforded promptly and without question,
it is hereby ordered, that an additional regi-
ment of infantry, to be be denominated the

Immediately raised and organized within this

will be given.

FOR MORE TROOPS.

Executive department..
Brattleboro, July ), 1862.
To the people Of Vermont -
The president
of the United States calls into the service OF
the country an additional force of three
hundred thousand men, and expresses the
desire that "they may be enrolled without
delay, so as to bring this unnecessary anu
injurious civil war to speedy and satis'ac-
tory conclusion"
Each citizen should consider this appeal
rs addressed directly to him, and at once en-
ouire what he can do for his country, direct
". if NAV be, and if not, indirectly, by en-
couraging and assisting those able and will
ing to take up arms and advance to the
scenes of conflict. Any one can see that,
even though our arms are everywhere victo-
rious, additional troops are needed to garri-
son and hold the numerous important points
taken and much more are they needed to
prevent or repair reverses that may happen.
1t cannot be necessary to more than b; re-
ly remind the citizens of Vermont that the
crisis of the rebellion has come and that by
hesitation and delay it may be allowed to
lnger and invite fore Sn interference in its
behalf, or by such new, prompt and power
full rally to arms, as the loyal people of the
country are abundantly able to make, it can
be crushed and annihilated. The present,
then is no time for hesitation or delay. Let
the response from Vermont be prompt and
patriotic and in consonance with all her past
history. Let no young man, capable of bear
ing arms in defence Of his country and its
wise and bene6cent government, linger at
this important period in the war. Let no
one hinder those who are brave and compe-
tent to fight the battles of the country, from
going forth to that patriotic, righteous and
needful service.
1t is of the last Importance that the resour-
ces and strength of our government should
now in large measure put forth, and its
power and stability fully proved and firmly
established. Let the president of the United
States feel the Strengthening influence of our
prompt and hearty response to his late call
for additional troops, and those brave men,
our fathers, brothers and sons, now in the
field, struggling to the death to uphold our
cause, be cheered and encouraged by the in
telligence that many more of tie "Green
Mountain Boys" are rapidly enrolling for the
service of their country, and will soon adj
vance to its defence. Much more might be
said to you fellow citizens, but few words
to the brave and patriotic is sufficient. Time
now, is everything. Let there be no delay
for more convenient season. Let it be
said that Vermont is one of the first states
to respond with her quota-composed ofvol-
unteers, ready for the service.
The 9th regiment of Vermont infantry,
now in camp in this state, will form part of
our quota, under the recent call for three
hundred thousand men. An order from the
adutant general of Vermont will indicate the
details Of further necessary organization.

Our LossEs.-The Washington Star says
the number of Union killed in the seven
days' battles has been reduced to eighteen
hundred or less. Our total loss in killed,
wounded and missing, according to official
accounts the president caused to be rendered
while recently with the army, was about elev-
en- thousand. The rebels claim to have four
thousand two hundred prisoners, including
wounded, and five thousand of our wounded
have already been sent North on steamers.
The hourly return of stragglers continues to
lessen the estimate of the killed.
