at the head of his paper. 1t is false and
libel on the citizens OF Virginia, yet it has
been reiterated daily for several weeks:
The Argus has larger circulation than nnv

0y u. s. SENAroR.-We announced in our
last paper the election Of Gen SIMON GAMER.
ON, to this important and honorable station The
news of his election was received with the most
lively satisfaction by his numerous friends in
this county, but especially by his friends in this
Borough, where the General has been long known,
and not only known, but esteemed, by all who
knew him, from his boyhood to the present time
The elevation OF Gen. Cameron to this distin.
gushcd post, affords another happy illustration
OF the principles Of our Republican form of Go.
vernment, where merit alone confers d stinctop
and where the poor boy, aided only by his talents
his industry and integrity, can aspire to the high
est Office in the gift of the people, with equal
confidence and hopes of success, with the child
who has been reared in the lap OF ofluxury and aid.
ed by wealthy and influential friends. The Gen.
era' spent the early part Of his life in this TO.
rough, poor, hut not "fri-ndess bov," so far
as sympathetic regard and cenerors feeling are
concerned, for he had friend in almost all who
knew him; and although We are not old enough n
have any but an ndstnct recollection of him
onrsrlf, we have often heard others speak ofhim
and have never heard citizen Of this place,
'namc him but TO praise him"
mere are some, we are aware, who would
have preferred the election Of caucus candidate
IN order 10 unite the whole democratic vote. But
this cannot always be effected In the present
case il was impossible. For Judge Woodward.
who was nominated in caucus of forty.eight
democratic members, we have personally the
highest regard. lie is a gentleman of talen, and
unrxceptionabIc character but there were con.
sdera'ions which prevented many of the demo.
cratic members from yielding TO him their sup.
port They refused to 20 into caucus and we
do not think that convention of members less
than is necessary 10 effect their object can pro.
pcrly be called a regular caucus. There are Sc
venty.thrre democratic members in the Leuis la.
ture Twenty-Five refused to 90 into cancns

ty, or less, might claim for themselves the same
right. We heard it stated that Mr. Woodward's

A Man XIII. a by an Elephant.

The large male elephant belonging to Hop
kins g. Co.'S mnnagcrie at Baton Rouge, La,
on the sth inst killed the person who had been
employed for n long time TO take charge OF him.
! 1t appears that the two elephants and camel
! had been sent in advance Of the other animals,
! en- ronte for Clinton, the female elephant and
the camel chained together. When about four
miles from Baton Rouge, the male elephant re.
fused to cross a small bridge, and the keeper,
who was on foot procured horse. Zone which
the eephat was net accustomed toy for the pur.
pose OF driving it over, and in attempting to
mount, the horse shyet, and threw the man in
the road The elephant Immediately rushed
upon him. caught him upon its tnsks. and threw
him forty or fifty ieet in the air, which was re.
peated grea, number Of times, the tusks fre.
qncnily passing through his body. 1t then car.
ried the body from the road towards the woods,
tossing it in III" air at intervals, until it fell be-
tween two fallen trees, which saved it from fur.
ther violence.
The infuria,cd animal then returned 10 the
road, where the female elephant and camel had
oeen CnalneG w lTce Oy hnOIner Keeper, anu
rushed upon them, his ,usks passing through
the camel, knocking down the female and break
ing the chain in two. The enraged animal then
made of toward the woods, carrying the camel
by its trunk, and throwing it st intervals in the
air with lis tnsks. The other portion of The ca.
rhvan now coming to the bridge the elephant
returned aud made demonstrations Of an attack
upon it, when firearms were brought into re-
QUESTION. A number of shots were fired upon
il, but without any effect. Word was then sent
to the U. S. garrison, and some thirty or forty
of the soldiers were sent TO despatch it with
their muskets. The ncighbors also turned ont
with their rifles and sho, guns, and some fifty
or sixty shots were fired into or rather upon him,
for the balls we're frequently fattened upon stri.
king, and fell to the ground. At length it was
determined upon TO send to the garrison for
field piece 20 despatch him, when one Of ihe
keepers procuring spear, mounted a horss and
succeeded in wonnding the elephant until he
caused il TO scream with pain and finally to
yield to subsection, when it was driven of with
the balance Of the animals. This is the same
animal which killed one Of its keepers. some
two or three years ago. at Algiers, La, and was
only stayed from further mischief after fourteen
shots had been fired into it,
