Death OF Ear. X. uf1nsa.

We announce with feelings OF deep regret the sudden
death Of The Hon D. S, Kaufman, representative in Con-
gess from the first district Of Texas. He expired his
lodgings in this city Friday evening. after few mo-
ments' illness The disease which terminated his
was an affection OF the heart; but some say it
was the effect OF bullet which some years ago
penetrated his right side. and may have ultimately
led to his DEATH We sympathze sincerely with his
family and friends in his un!mely loss. He was
about forty years of age. native OF Pennsyl yanla

lerpsing and influential citizens He occupied several
and was elected one of the first members OF Congress
after that event. and has continued 10 be up 10 the
present time His career met with the appreciation OF his
constituents and the country.
Mr. kaufman was man of excellent education OF
sound PRACTICAL good sense, and OF the interchangeable
attention to business His devotion to his daes and his
general courtesy OF demeano had secured for him The
respect and confidence of his f.ow-memters. In the
House and in committees he always at his post and
few exered more extensive personal influence. He

and served his whole country truly his State
The loss OF such man is much to be deploed in these
critical times Fortunate will il be for Texas if she can

their grief, it would be the universal respect fell and

While MIR. Elijah F. Huntington was at his work
this morning, (having left his house early in the
morning, in care of negro girl thirteen years
old,) smoke attracted the attention of the neigh
bors and called them to the spot, when, sorrow
full to tell, Mr.. Dunnington's house was found to
be nearly consumed A few neighbors who got
on the ground rather earlier than the others, sue
ceeded in saving few, but very few articles, with
the exception Of which, all his clothes, well as
his children's, were burned to ashes.
The girl has since made confession that she
fired the house, because she did not wish to stay
there alone and indeed circumstances would lead
one strongly to suspicion her. Her confession,
however, sets the whole matter to rest, as she was
not threatened or forced to tell, but calmly and
quietly questioned on the subject.
You may rest assured that it has left Mr.. Dun

Hon. r. J. BOWIE.
ROCKVILLE, Sept. Sd, 1851.

Your favor of the goth ult, announcing my re-
nomination by the Wing Convention, then assem-
bled at Bladensburg, to select candidate for the
First Congressional District of Mary land, was re-
ceived with great sensibility.
The honor thus conferred, although at all times
envIabe, is particularly Acceptable when it i'm
the conduct of their Representative, in the mat
tiers of high public interest and great intrinsic
difficulty.
To have represented the first Congressional
District, under such circumstances as surrounded
the Thirty-First Congress, and have faithfully as
serted the rights, and reflected the views of its
enlightened, patriotic and pure population, is a
distinction any might covet without reproach, and
all should cherish with pride.
Should the nomination be confirmed by the fiat
of the people, it will he my study to vndicate the
choice of the Convention by earnest devotion of
my best energies to the service of my constituents.
With great regard, yours,
RICH'D J. BOWIE.
