Hang up your Riddles, &C.

Gen. Lane has been in town a couple
days. We have it upon good authority, that
he says Gen. Pierce will certainly be elected
President of the United States next election.
We are sorry to give this news to our Wing
friends, but the General ,coRt keep silent,
and we might as well put good face on the
matter, and break it to our readers without
Wings like a thunder clap, but it can't be
helped. Gen. Lane says it, and sooner or
later the Wings must know that such is his
opinion. We regret that all the labors ofthe
Wing party are vain, and that the friends of
Gen. Scott in this region, yesterday so san
guine, so certain of success, must to-day sink
their noodles in dependency. We. for one,
shall endeavor to bear up. f submit we
must, submit we shall with christian resignG-
tioa. But with that sanguinness :or which
we are so remarkable, We shall endeavor to
hope on, and believe that possibly the Gene
raj has been misled by the wishes originated
by his own baffled aspirations for the Presi-
dency, and most cruelty knocked in the head
like SO many piglings. by the butchering Bal
tlmore Convention. Indeed, we are almost
forced to believe, recollecting that the Gen
eral left here for Washington very sanguine
of getting the nomination, and having in
formed cur citizens. at a Barbecue. that he
woud accept the nomination-that he is now
putting the best face on the matter. and don't
more than. half believe his own predictions
aOout Pierce's election. That is, as he is
compelled TO shed tears, he is determined to
laugh right heartily at the same time, SO as to
make them appear tears of JOY or fun. To
carry out the farce still better, the General
offered to bet the horse he rode down from
Newburg, against one hundred dollars, that
Pierce would be elected, not rejecting upon
the audacity of some Wings in this region
We are sorry to say one of them took advan-
tage of the Generals peculiar method of HI
ding his disappointment, or of electioneer-
ing, and took him up. This was next to
stealing the horse, but then the Wing was
perfectly honest in his intentions, as we hap.
pen to know. The Wing however, did MOI
bet-he only bought the horse payable Oh

1t is centinly much easier to laugh at argu-

them The editor of the Times has the privi-

we suppose his readers have the same privi-

would mt it be more to the credit of the editor

two brothers, named Hiram and Warren

travelled different routes, but made a prac-
tice of meeting each other frequently.
They agreed to meet at public house
in the vicinity of brownsttewnon Friday
last. One OF the brothers reached the tav-
ern. about nine O'Clock, and inquired if
hir brother had arrived, and was informed
by the landlord that he had not.
After eating his supper he called for
light and asked to be shown to bed. The
landlord informed him he had no candles
about the house, but if he would follow
him, be would take him to bed. Francis
co followed the landlord in to dark room
and undressed himself and retired to rest.
Tie bed seemed to be wet, and having
some matches about him, he struck a light.
Upon examining the bed he found it was
wet with blood. Discovering candle on
table arby, he lii it, AMI looking IN

with his throat cut from ear to ear, and

CONGRESSIONAL BANQUET.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 90

WASHINGTON, Feb. %.
A grand Congressional Banquet came
off on Saturday night, at Wizards Hotel,
in honor of the birth day OF Washington.
Senator Stockton presided, and made
speech. Attorney General Crittenden
also made speech. The Washington
doctrine Of non.intervention was advocat-
ed by the speakers.
After the speech of Attorney General
Crittenden was concluded, a number of
toasts were offered and replied to, by Mr..
Bayly, Of Virginia, Justice Wayne, Of the
Supreme Court, Gen Scott, Senator Stock
ton, Father" Ritchis. Mr. Dorsey and
G.. w. P. Custs The speakers were
generally against the intervention doctrine.
Mr.. Bayly concluded his speech by al
ludng to the neglect of Congress in not
building monument at Yorktown, where
the revolution was ended, and said that
contributions for material aid, and the ex-
penditures incurred for the qualification Of
man who never visited our shores but
for applause and glory, would have raised
monument to mark that spot.
Justice Wayne remarked that this Con-
gressional Banquet would arouse in the
American people, feeling against the
sophistries of Intervention.
The last toast was:
"lntervention-we are not to be deceiv-
ed by artful definitions, our true policy is
friendship with all nations; entangling al
liances with none"
To that Mr.. Toombs responded. and in
speaking Of Washington's policy Of nom
Intervention, and Kossuth's objections to
it, said it was thus controverted by chief
who had deserted the revolution he should
have died for, and had, therefore, no right
