A CONGRESSIONAL HITCH

Under the heading of " Another I'm
broSlio," the Reese River RereiHe of Fri
day has the following article upon the
subject of our Congressional representa-
ton, which is deserving of some atten-
ton:
1t seems that in our late election we neg
lected very important duty; no less than
the election Of a member for the ensuing
session Of the Thirty-eighth Congress, or else
4 member Of the Thirty-ninth Congress.
This was the proper time to elect Repre-
sentative for the regular term OF two years,
commencing on the 4th Of March next, and
should the member elect claim his seat for
that term, and not for toe remnant ofthe I'M
expired term, we think there can be no doubt
but that his claim would be good But IN the
mean time how are we to be represented !:
It is very important that Nevada should have
a member Of Congress during the coming
session, and 10 do so, one must be elected or
appointed. Il is a little singular that after
having elected two members of Congress, We
are without any 4; as IL is very evident that
the Delegate to represent Territory is not
member TO represent State. The second
session Of the Thirty-eighth Congress will
commence in few days, and the course to
be pursued should be decided upon without
delay.
The same question will arise in the Legis-
lature Of the State in reference to the cleo
ton of United States Senators. II but two
are elected, and these take their seats during
the present winter, there will be no odd year
for each year. This could be obyiated BY the
election Of two Senators for the remainder Of
the present Congress, and two others, or per-
haps the same two for the regular term. Two
Senator's could be elected at the beginning of
the session of the Legislature, and later 10
the season another election be had when
members had become better acquainted with
their duties, and had greater time for DELHI
Grafton, and also another advantage OF be-
coming better acquainted with the Senatorial
aspirants.
II is very necessary that this State should
be represented in the coming 6ession Of Con
0ress in both Houses, and well represented
TOO. Our condition is very different from one
of the older States. For there, legislation
follows old established channels, and there l:
but little for individual members to do refer
ring TO their particular section. But Nevada
has immense interests that are subject to
National legislation. The mines, public
lands, mails, Indian affairs, military affairs
school lands, and many other subjects o.
great importance to US will be acted upon
and much may be lost unless some one l:
present acquainted with the subject and au
thoriZed To plead our cause. We trust thai
this matter Will be attended to, and we mol
left unrepresented during the present winter

AHintfor the Rebels.

The telegram announcing that Secretary
Stanton has gone to the Army of the Poto-
mac for the purpose Of consulting with Gen
eral Grant in relation to the probable war ex-
penses for the next year, will receive hardly
a second thought from the Northern reader,
but in the land Of rebeldom it will sound like
the knell of coming doom. The rebels have
all along hattered themselves with the belief
that if they could preserve the Confederacy
intact through the present campaign, the ex-
haustion of the North and the supposed ex-
tensive disaffection among the people would
eliminate in "letting the Union slide" be-
fore the opening of another campaign. Their
papers and speakers have labored hard to
bolster up the waning devotion OF the South
ern people to the "cause," by the assertion
that time was the only requisite for their in
dependence, and that the Federal Govern
ment had conducted the present campaign on
a gigantic scale as the last desperate effort
for a reunion. With what crushing effect
must the telegram in question fall upon their
delusive fancy how whitening must its cool
reference to the war preparation for the COM
ing year be to the hopes of rebellion. In eff
feet, it admonishes them that the Northern
people are preparing another campaign with
the same GOODNESS and the same deliberation
with which they entered upon the last; 1t
warns them that our resources are still album
dant, and that, instead of evincing signs of
exhaustion, We are apparently disposed to
make the war permanent institution if nee
essary ; and it tells them ofthe unmistakable
determination Of the Government to extin-
guish the rebellion at all hazards. No won
der that, with such evidence Of Northern in
vincibility, two-thirds Of the rebel soldiers
should "absent themselves from the army"
as their President charitably terms their con-
duct; nor is it strange that the Southern
papers abound in gloomy apprehensions Of
the prospect before them.-N. Y. Sun.

GOLD FIELDS IN LOWER CANADA.
The most marvellous accounts are being
received of the gold fields in Lower Cam
ada which promises to turn out as remu-
nerative as those of Australia. They will
attract q population which, in short
time, will go far to establish the equilib-
rum between the two sections of the pro-
vince. On agricultural lands, the princi-
pal settlements have long been sormed in
Upper Canada, because the soil was supe-
nor and the climate milder. s.. -

Impeachment OF Leading Traitors.

Impeachment OF Leading Traitors.
On the 18th of October, in the Senate Of
Louisiana, the following resolutions were
offered by Mithof, and, after being read
twice, we're made the order Of the day for the
following Monday
WHEREAS, The so-called Confederate Gov
eminent has, by unjust and arbitrary con-
,cription laws, in the most brutal and cruel
manner, dragged from their homes and
families thousands of our truly loyal citizens,

never before witnessed.
Be il therefore ResoEuea, That the Governor
Of this State be requested and Instructed to

How THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM WILL
woRS.-The person sending gives his name
at the Post Office, and also the name OF the
party to whom it is to be sent. A receipt for
the money and the order is then given him,
and a letter is Immediately forwarded from
the Post Office where the order is procured to
the Office in the place in which the person
resides who is to receive the money. On the
latter receiving the order previously sent to
him BY the person who procured it, he is
asked the name Of the person sending (Which
is not on the order) and if the answer is
satisfactory the money is paid. The fee for
any sum under $40 is six cents, over that
amount twelve cents,

THE EXPENSES OF THE WAR.

Nothing seems 10 afford the enemies OF
he Government more profound gratifca-
ion than harping upon the enormous
Expenses Of the war" They found out
IN the Sth of the present month that the
patriotism Of the people was not measured
by dollars and cents, and utterly failed to
scare them from their duty to their coun-
try by pecuniary bugbear. Even as a
stencil will for some time faint the air after
carcass has been removed and buried,
so does an occasional growl about the
"war debt" still come up from the de-
feated horde even after all hope of profit
ing thereby has been extinguished. If
they would only conine themselves to the
truth. the debt is in all conscience big
enough TO SWIVEL about. if The people cared
anything at all about the matter. But
large as it is, the Copperheads have got in
such habit of lying that they have to
even exaggerate the national debt. We
have never vet seen the debt stated by any
Copperhead sheet at less than "a, 900, 000,-
900, and they had it up to that figure two
years ago. The expenditures of the Gov
eminent during the war are to be deter
mined from the amount ofitS outstanding
bonds, currency, certificates of indebted
ness, unpaid acquisitions, and debts for
which no acquisitions haveyet been made;
and from the amounts raised from customs
and taxation. According TO the official
statement issued September so. the amour,
of recognized debt contracted during the
war was

500, 900. This amount taken from the
above total, leaves S2,4O5,7+6,332 as the
real war expenses of the Government, paid
and unpaid, from the beginning of the
outbreak to October l, 1864. AL state
ments in excess of this aggregate are de-
ceptive and injurious. The amount is
quite large enough, without being falsely
magni6ed, and affords abundant material
for opponents to the Administration, with
out the expedient of deliberate mis-state-
ment.
