Third Congressional District.

A correspondent OF the Bloomington
Journal, recC mnends ]. N. BRowN, of Ma
con county, as a suitable person for the
Wings to support for Congress at the ensu-
ing August election. The writer says:
"If ever there was u time that called for
union and harmony among the Wings now
is the time; let me urge upon my Wing
friends the importance Of selecting man
that we can unite pom, for the purpose of
carrying out the fundamental principles Of
orr creed. And in order 10 carry out SO
desirable result we must use some eau
ton in the selection of men. In looking
around upon various meritorious and worthy
Wings, l know of none combining all the
essential qualifications, more worthy and
better calculated 10 command the united sup
port of the Wing party than Mr.. Brown.
His course through life must meet the APP
probation Of all right thinking wings. He
stands firm upon the Baltimore platform,
is firm advocate Of the union, and is OPP
posed to notification or secession in any
shape or form it may make IFS appearance
His integrity is untarnished, and his ability
unquestionabe.
To show the estimation in which he wa.
held by the wing party IN 1852 he was che
sen as the Wing Elcctor in this District
which Office he filled with honor and digni
iy TO himself and 10 his country; and surel,
that is some evidence Of his strength ant
popularity. And if n card date for Con
gress he will undoubtedly receive the united
vote Of the Wing party, and thus be trl
umphantly elected. l verify believe n,
man in the district will better unite the par
, ~ than Mr. Brown, and so believing mus
respectfully urge his claim. Mr.. Brown i
well known in great portion Of the dis
trio, having been practicing Lawyer for
number of years, and in 1852 the Will
, Elector. And in every station he has al
ways discharged his duty faithfully, wit
, credit 10 himself and honor 10 his country
: As representative, he would truly renec
. the interests of the people, and as a just re
ward for merit, hope 10 see him elected t
a seat in Congress"

NEw-ORLEANs, May IL.

The steamer Mexico arrived from Gal
weston with dates 10 the 10th. BY her the
gold accounts ore fully confirmed. The
Galveston .NewS says that a gentleman from
Hcckhart brings the intelligence that par
ty OF citizens, just returned from an explor-
ing expedition, found gold in the mountains
seventy miles northwest of the town on the
surface and in the diggings; they brought
back some Jumps, valued al $500.
The Austrian Gasdte, hitherto incredu.
lous, fully Endorses the most favorable re-
ports, and says that not the least doubt can
now be entertained, and expects soon TO
hear Of discoveries equaling the California
mines. 1t further adds, the deeper the
diggings, the more abundant and richer is
the gold. The richest region is inclosed by
the Colorado on the east, the San Saba on
the north, and the Rio Dano on the south.
Dates from Mexico are TO the 4h. Cen
'eral Arista sailed from Vera Cruz on the
British steamer Avon for St. Thomas.
The Sl0o contract Is confirmed by the
Government, and the treaty in regard 10
the neutrality of Tehuantepec also ratified.

New Thanks.

Our subscription list is increasing in
very flattcring and encouraging manner, for
which we beg to return our hearty thanks
to all concerned; ind at the same time we
make the request Of all who have commenced
reading The TIMES in the last month, 10
show ii to their neighbors and friends, tell
them the TERMS, and say in its behalf ex-
actly what they think of it as NEWSPAPER.
We are satisfied this course on their part
will place several hundred new subscribers
on our books. We are anxious TO have
this done, not to realize profit, for every
one must know that there is no profit in
selling paper year for two dollars; but
wish to introduce HOME PAPER, 10 get the
entire community in the habit Of reading
newspapers, and their local papers at that
We give them the paper at about cost, and
look 10 the other branches of our business
for our profit and support, and it is ample
Tor both. Now we think, (without any sell
fshness, We trust,) that such an enterprise
ought 10 be encouraged, well knowing, as
a great majority of our readers also know
that for the purposes of general information
TO the old and the young, Especially the
latter, the NEWSPAPER stands without ri
val. Enough of general information can be
cleaned from the ineanest newspaper in the
State, in years reading, to doubly repay
its cost. Whatever begets taste for read
ing effects good-and a newspaper is th'
best possible means for this purpose.
Enough, however, of this. We only de
signed to thank those who hav, done sucl
good service in extending the circulation o
} THE TIMES, and hope they will continue
their efforts.

Seventh District.

We observe Gen. JACKSON, of Cape Cir
ardeau, is canvassing the Seventh District.
He is thorough Bentonian, and will doubt.
less be the candidate Of that party. Speak,
ing Of one of his recent speeches, in Miss
issippi county, the Cape Girardeau Eagle
says:-
"In reference to Col. Benton vas ready
10 exclaim: "There is but one" Benton and
Jackson sis his prophet" We have no,
been advised fully Of the points Of this
would be Hon" gentlefnan's speech, but
suppose it 10 be in character with the gener-
al tener as all such speeches.
BY way of incident, too, we learn that ar
emisary of the redoutable Sic Geneviev,
General has been "among us taking notes.
for the past few days. He ought to be wei
supported in this place. Those who sacri
feed truth and principle TO so far cireum
vent unsuspecting innocence (some was
said ignorance just them as 10 lead him from
the flowery path of Whiggery and patriot
ism 10 the low m,,rky pools of locoiocoism
should stand by their protege in the hour o
trial. We shall see if they do it.
On the other hand, rumor points 10 sever,
al other gentlemen belonging to that unde
fined and undefndable class called Antics
who are ''almost persuaded" TO risk thei
fortunes in the coming fight; but as usua
with them they are Too timid 10 hazard any
thing. We shall be asionished if any o
them show their heads above their holes.
If SAM. CARUrHERs comes out, and W,
think he will, farewell ssto all those air,
castles which sanguine minds have built.
The people know him and are Too sensibl
to allow uuprincipled locoiocoism 10 prevail
when the services of good Wing and a
honest, talented man can be obtained.

IL We mentioned the fact week or
two since that Major GRIFFIN, of Grundy
CO., was spoken of as the Benton candidate
for Congress in this district. The Trenton
Pioneer, copies our article and says:
We hope that the Major is not only
spoken of, but that he wiH Le candidate for
Congress; and we further hope that he may
succeed in being elected. Notwithstanding
Maj. Griflin's political views, he is man
that commands the respect, esteem, and con-
fdence, both in public and nrvatc capaci-
~. of men of all parties. We know bu'
little, save reputation, of the several asp
rants. but we do know that better man, or
"ne that would more truly reflect the inter.
cs's of the Western country, could not be
selected than J. C. Griffin.
