THIS DIsTRIcT.-The name of Henry Gray
is this morning placed at the head of our edi-
torial columns, All parts of the District have
spoken in reference to a Wing nomination for
Congress, and each has declared a preference
for Mr., Gray. There has not been a single
dissenting voice. We can have no doubt
that he will take the position 80 unanimously
assigned him and meet the Democratic can
dldate, Col Melville, at every point until the
day OF election, and then beat him by a com
Portable majority. This part of the District
has never looked to any other man than Mr..
Gray as a candidate, and he will certainly re-
ceive here, a full. hearty and Jealous support.
No Wing among US entertains any doubt of
his success, and none, we are sure, intends to
permit confidence TO abate the earnestness of
effort. We are prepared to believe that the
same is true Of all other parts of the District i.
But, Notwithstanding this reliance and this
willingness to make assurance doubly sure
BY united and energetic labor, it is necessary
for Mr.. Gray take the field at an early day and
to make those preparations for the defence
which by'common consent have been commit
ted to him as the most efficient and reliable
man for the discharge of that important duty

PROoREsS'-A Mr.. West, during discussion
at a recent anti-slavery meeting at N. Y, on
the subject Of buying the produce of slave la
Dor, is reported as having made the following
remarks. Is it possible that a cause SO advo-
Gated can find root among tina "noral and re-
ligious community" Of the North.
81 do not ray any tradesman for anything l
buy, they are all robbers. / do not pay he
landlords any rent. l have lived in a hired
house in Leonard street for seven months, and
have paid nc rent and will pay none; no pow
er in New York can get it out of me. cloud
cheers) hold that l have no more right to
pay for rent than for a pair of boots. II you
can steal safely, you hare a right to steal, is the
true motto. A man has a perfect right TO help
himself to a loaf Of bread, or a pair of unmen-
tionableS, If he needs them, for we all have a
right to live in this world, and the pOssessorof
propertyis,a robber; his goods are stolen goods,
and you ought not to buy them, but take them
as you want them.''

FEAT OF A JUsGLER.-We have all heard of
the man who climbed to the top Of pole, and
then drew 1t up after him, but we imagine that
the following feat Of an East India iuggler il
tho nearest approach to it that ever was wiz.
messed:
A plank is sometimes fixed to the TOP of a
pole twenty-five feet high, which is set up-
rights; a man then climbs up it, springs back
wards, and seats himself upon the plank
Another mounte-bank balances himself bv the
middle Of the body on a bamboo pole, ffteen
or eighteen feet high. He first sets the mole
uprigat, then climbs up it with his legs and
arms, as it were a 6rmly-rooted tree. On
reaching the top he clings to it with his feat
and hands, after fixing the centre of the nole
IN the middle Of his sash, and dances. mov;ro
in all directions to the scurd Of music. WIKI
out the pole ever losing its equilibrium.
He then descends, takes a boy on his sborI-
ders, climbs up the pole and stands on Tho 90,
on one leg.

FURTHER NEWS BY THg EUROPA

BosroN. June S,
Iute!hgenee had reached Paris that the
Duke de Harcourt, the French minister a.
Rome. had arrived at that city, bringing the
deliberations Of a convent on between the gov
eminent Of Rome and the representative Of
France, for the settlement officer difficulties.
Hostilities had been suspended for some days
and it was believed that this news was sub
stantially correct.
The surrender of Bologna IS contradicted,
and it is now SAID that they still hold out, and
had suffered a bombardment SO terrible as to
reduce the city to ashes with a frightful loss
oflife.
The Constitutional Zeitung published a
proclamation, issued by Kossuth at Dabraezia,
in which he asserts that the Russians were
twice defeated by Gen. Brun-once at Kraiv-
un. in which 5000 Russians surrendered, and
another at Arsa. where 10000 were made
prisoners. Their arms, horses, cannons, sc.
fell into the hands Of the Hungarians.
A rumor,waa current ct Raub that the Rus
SLAMS had also been defeated at Denbenski.
The news Of the defeat Of the Russ ans by
Gen. Brun is confirmed; the authentic details
Of the action have hot heon received.
The London Times confirms the victory
gained By the Hunga'lans over the Russians at
Presburg. and positive news was received Of the
srrrAnder Of OEun AZ discretion. The booty
which fell into the Hungarians'hands comprised
military chest and $4,000 musk cts. ten bate
ries and ammunition. Fourteen thousand hug
Ears we're killed during the assault, GoOrzey
addressed the commander-in .chief Of the Aus
%trians, calling on him to treat the prisoners
with humanity, adding that all Hungarians
found in arms against their countrymen will
be put to death.

REAR STORY.

We clip the following Bear story from a
communication in an old number Of the "spir-
it Of the Times;'
When he resided in Mississippi, Mr., L. 1--WE
will thus designate him. had a great desire to
kill a Bear; and with this view, he visited a
great swamp lying between the YazOo and
Mississippi river; and by previous invitations,
took up his headquarters at the house of his
friend, Mr., lookout, who resided on the Sun.
-four river a tributary of the Yazoo. Here
bears were said to be so plenty, that they
might have been hunted as Abram Defiance
was wont to hunt them on the Bayou Pierre
fanother episOde) Abram figured some thir-
ty year ago in Port Gibson, then one Of the most
furnishing towns in the State. He fell in one
event o, at his own tavern, with a credulous
Yankee, to whom he told sumo wonderful
stories about matters and things in this coun-
try, and wound up by stating the enormous
number of bears there were in the cane-brakes
on the Bayou Pierre, " and," added he'll
have found out new way to hunt the %rascals,
without the loss OF powder or shot"
"Ahp' said the Yankee, " now do tell, how
is that?"
Why,'' replied Defiance, =" we get half a
dozen long poles, and, after hardening the
ends in the fire, as Ulysses did when he was
about to bore out the eye of Polyphemus, we
make them very sharp, and give each one to
a stout negro man, and with these we go along
the roads which have been cut through the
cane brake and punch violently into all the
thickest places"
"And," ask ed the Yankee, edo you kill
many in that way"
"Oh, no." replied Defiance, d--n the
one!"

rtonal notice and e~Ommsand-on, in favor Of
tie nomination Of this whoiQ opled aud tall
ented Taylor man, BY the faoh1 Of the Ad-
niuistrntion, as candidate for Governor of
this State. We know him as one Of the ear
hest and most efficient friends ofGen. Taylor's
nomination for the Presidency, and know Of
no member Of the party whose chivalry and
elevation Of character, and whose high moral
and intellectual e~ndowments, render him more
deserving ofits confidence, respect and regard.
He is emphatically a gentleman without fear
and without reproach; and should he consent
to run, and receive the direct or tacit nomina-
ton Of his political friends as candidate, we
would feel that victory under such leader
ship would be glorious, whilst even the mis-
fortune of defeat would lose its poignancy by
the reflection that we had a standard bearer SO
worthy Of a glorious cause ~.-Soutkron.

what ought to be a warning :.

We clip the following paragraph from the
Louisville Courier, of the goth ult., in which
it appears credited to the Glasgow, KY, Rev
ellie:
Pedro not 10 be hanged--The negro Pedro
who was at the March term Of the Court SEN
fenced to be hanged on Friday next, the 25th
inst, has been pardoned by the Governor. He
is now in the possession OF his master, who
starrd with him on yesterday morning to the
outh." T..
This is the way as we have frequently before
shown, that Kentucky am the Northern bor-
der slave States dispose Of their black thieves,
murderers and felons. They are shipped off
South and sold as honest, industrious, worthy
negroes to our unsuspecting people. tits high
time that this ~rascally system which the Nor
thern slave ) tates have pursued so long sue
cessfuIly, should be put stop to-. We believe
that there is a law in existence in hits State
which Furnishes CO ndignly such outrages. We
hope to see it put in force by those officers
charged with the execution of the laws, and
trust that Pedro and his Uery respectable sChite
master, should they come within the limits Of
Mississippi, may be accommodated with a sight
of the inside Of our State Penitentiary Match.

A MODEL SHERIFF.-The late Sheriff Sum
was remarkable for his great atten ton to
matters of etiquette, Nothing could make him
forget his natural politeness, and at times this
quality was exhibited whe1i t had the most lu-
dlcrous effect. Towards criminals he was es-
%pecially polite, and on one occasion, when an
info tunate creature was to be executed, the
Sheriff with that kindness of heart, which was
one of his prominent characteristics, paid eve
ry attention to the culprit which hisGdreadiul
situation seemed to require, and when the
poor fellow was led upon the %scalfold, and
the rope had been adjusted, Mr.. Summer en-
quired in the most friendly manner
"Does the knot suit you, sir?"
ayes, l don't know but it does,' says the
prisoner.
"lfI could make it moro comfortable to you
| should be Extremely happy" said the Sheriff.
i"Will you do me the great favor when you are
ready to drop your handkerchief.
81 hav'nt got any handkerchief" added the
prisoner.
"Then please accept mine."
The handkerchi eff was accepted, and the
black cap was drawn over the doomed mans
head. Aftera short time the handkerchief was
dropped. Mr.. Summer cut his cord and as the
body dropped down, he raised his hat from his
head and said with a most polite bow and
bland smile, "GoOd morning, sir."-Raayfnder.
