Hon George EustiS, who for four years has been
the Know Nothing representative in Congress from
the First District Of Louisiana, and the head and
font of that party in New Orleans, has written q
letter to his constituents declining to be again
candidate for their sufFrages He says:

Aparagraph from the Louisville journal is copied
in the PItriOt, showing Democratic gain in one
district in Northwestern Virgins. The charge Of
the paragraph is that there is an abolition senti-
ment in that district and that the gain for LETcHER
is the consequence Now the adjoining district,
containing few slaves the one referred to- gave
GooGIN more than his whole gain in the State. The
strongest slsVehOlding district in the Stste-the
4th-gave LETcHKR gain of $40. The fact is, that
there was bat one Democratic candidate for Con-
gTess in the district referred in the article copied
by the Patriot and there was a Know Nothing can
didate against Democrat in the 4th district. In
the district where GoGoIN made his heavy gain
there we're two Democratic candidates aud no Know
Nothing opposition Thus all the figures demon
strsts the fass that the whole loss in Virginia
Oecssiorsd by duplicate Democratic candidates. Had
tbs Know NOthings run candidates for Congress and
she Legislature in all the districts, the Democratic
majority would have been twenty thousand.

Goep TIHE.-The demonstration on Saturday
night in honor Of the splendid achievement of Cog
gin in Virginia, was q thing 10 be remembered.
The whole city blaEed with sky rockets and fire balls
and shook with the roar Of cannon and the shouts
Of men.-Petriot
The Patriot opposed the railroad tax, yet it should
be willing to tell of the delight of those who sup
ported it at Its success As we understand it, all
the sky-rOckets and reballs were bought and burnt
in honor Of the railroad victory. Ii ought 70 be
enough for the Patriot to claim great victory in
Virginia a. it's own, without claiming the railroad
6rs-bslls. We grant that, the Democrats having
elected their Governor in Virginia by five or six
thousand majority, the rest of their State ticket by
from ten to fifteen thousand, sll the Members Of
Congress but one, snd from thirty to forty majority
Of the Legislature, the Know Nothings fred guns
ever the result. Let the anti railroad men claim
Z" the blaze of FIRE Oslls," SC; for they certainly
have the same right TO celebrate their defeat thar
the Know NOthings have to celebrate THERE

A Promising Pol,.;c,,

The LecOmptOn Bill was disposed of at the frs
session Of the Both Congress, early in the year 1858
The attention of the whole nation has been directed
to that measure from it's introduction into Congress
TO the present time, andevery tolersbly we'll inform
ed man in the community is familiar with its histo
ry. Vel, Col NETHERLASD, the leader, the champ
ion, the stsndardbearcr Of his party IN Tennessee
asserted in his speech at Memphis that the bill 70,
the admission of Kansas was dsfestedin the Senate
Of the United States. Ills Know Nothing friends

FALLING or BRIDGE--A PARTY IN THE
CANALl--Last Sunday morning while a par-
ty Of three young aso, in two horse spring
wagon, were passins over the National Road
bridge over the canal, about two miles from
Vandalia, the whole structure suddenly fell
preeipitating the horses, wagon and contents,
into the water The horses being near the
centre Of the bridge went down FIRST and nec
essarily depressed tho fore part Of the wag-
on, throwing out the occupants, who landed
on and between the horses, amid shower OF
plank, rotten timbers and braces, which
covered large portion of the canal, and
liter ally surrounded the party in the water
After the first shock Of surprise, men and
animals made for the bank, and the water
being very deep, it was with difficulty that
the horses and wagon were gotten out and
although the animals were somewhat tang.
led in the gears, not even the traces were
unfastened. 1t was lucky, after all, that the
men were thrown out Of the wagon when
the concern went down, for had they remain
ed in it they would have been crushed with
the heavy plank which fell upon the bed -
Two Of the men were considerably bruised,
while the third one, although he was tangled
in the "lineS," was not at all hurt; the
horses were not injured, while the wagon
sustained only the loss of the "dash." The
party may be thankful that they made SO
lucky an escape.
