Ieyee candidate for the Senate from the eleventh
district, composed of the counties of Pamela,
COshOmo and Talahatchie, has been defeated by
Gen. J. E. Talliaferro, the Democratic and aati

This is gratifying news to our people. Yazoo

evee system, and she halls with feelings oflively
satisfaction the result in the eleventh district.

The same paper says a meeting was re,

Nix. RAREY, after performing before the royal
family at Berlin has gone on to st. Petersburg,
where his hands have been kept quite full. On
the 10th, he gave performance before the EN-
peror and his family and two of his brothers,
beside several princes and princeSses. The
first subject was horse who had kicked his
box to pieces and killed his groom, and Mr.
Rarey exhibited him after few days training
as obedient as circus horse, and ready to obey
ORDERS which were given him from the other
end of the riding school. The second was a
wild, unbroken, entire horse, from the s,eppes
of Russia; and he, too, was completely subdued
in so short time that the Emperor not only
publicly expressed his qualification. but ordered
u report to be published in the papers The
Illustrated London Nstcs says that Mr.. Rarey
las finally concluded arrangements with the
Horse Guards to teach the British cavalry, and
he returns for that purpose to London on the
lst of June.

AT Avon, Livingston county, N. Y, last
week, there was n jumping match for $500.
The wager was made that could be pro-
duced who could jump thirty seven feet in three
jumps. Theindiyidual selected for the perform
ance was young man of about % years of age,
by the name of Robert Way, and who is I'M
doubtedly the greatest jumper of this or any
other country. He made tire estanding jumps,
on perfectly level ground, and won the wager
with ease. Innidition To the above he cleared
t,centy-seres feet nnd one incl at two standing
jumps at one single jump made sixteen feet
This, we believe, is the talIest jump on record.

CHARLES DICKENS once said that if England
"expects every man to do his duty" she is
certainly very sanguine parsonage, and is sure
to be disappointed. If any body expects that
the majority of the people who have the priv
lege of exercising the elective franchise to-day,
will do so either intelIigently or conscentously,
he is not less sanguine nor less Liable to dsaP-
pointment.
Yet it is something more than an ordinary
every day action, for man to cast his vote, it
is voice, one only TO be sure, but of the
great aggregate that makes up the voice of the
State One vote sent Oliver Cromwell to Parlin-
ment, and that vote revoutionized England
cost Charles the First his head and effected some
of the most important concessions known to
our bill of popular rights. One vote more
would have made Burr President in place of
Jefferson. and no man can appreciate what
might have been the ultimate effect of such
result.
1t is matter of special Importance that in
the selection of our county representatives,, we
should do so without reference to anything else
than their merits. All of them cannot be elect
ed, and since that is the case, the three best
should be picked out. The interests of the city
may be materially and for long time affected
by the kind of men we elect to day to go to
Richmond next winter.

WE extract the following from the conclusion
of an appeal in the Richmond Wig TO the
voters to cast their votes for Goggin, who al
ways believed slavery was the greatest blessing
to man; and to beware OF Letcher, who once
was slightly unsound on this point, though he
long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes:
OH the shame and humiliation that will come
upon Virginia, should the people in partiZnn
madness and folly, elect John Letcher to the
office of Chief Magistrate Of the State! With
our hands do we cover our face, and in the dust
do we PROSTATE ourselves, Mt such thought
i'm view of such possibility! But in our hope,
in our Judgment, in our belief, there is no prob
ability of the happening of such an event; and,
for the prospect that there is not, we thank God
with all our heart
But. look, also, to the injurious mOral effect
of Letcher's election upon the people of the
North Will they not conclude, too, that Nir-
ginia is giving way on the slavery question:
And with such conviction, will not Abolition
Gnnaticism grow apace, and will not even those
in that region who are disposed to stand by us
in support of our constitutional rights become
less inclined to risk themselves in our behalf
when they see that we ourselves are taking to
our embrace and confidence so notorious and
rampant an EmnncipationiS. John Lctcher?
People Of Virginia, Wings and Democrats, are
you prepared thus TO give aid and comfort to
your enemies at the North? Are you willing
thus to aid in upholding and strengthening the
hands Of the great Abolition party in that re.
gion, merely to carry out the wishes and be
Rcsts of Democratic politicians and tricksters
here in Virginia?
For the last time, on this great and momen-
tous subject, do we earnestly and honestly APP
neal to YOU to be true to yourselves, true to
Virginia and true to the South. Rise in the
might and majesty of rrcemen and patriots, and
save Yourselves and your State from the foul
stigma which his election will indelibly fix upon
you and upon her forever
