Having our heart set upon man from
our own county for the position of con-
gresham from our District we naturally
felt some disappointment at the nomi-
natin on last Wednesday. But disap-
pointments are common at Conventions,
and as the majority must rule in all cases,
we enter the campaign with the convic-
fion that the public character of Mr..
Bingham is worthy of our commenda-
tion and that he is worthy of the sap
port of every Republican in the Dis
trict. Some have some personal griev'
ances to avenge and perhaps will not
vote for him, but every man who has
been in public life half as long as Mr..
Bingham has, will have some enemies.
Our Democratic friends seem much
pleased with the nomination, but we
predict that theirsquabble of to-day will
be worse than any discord manifested
on last Wednesday, and that the man
they nominate will be mere pigmy
compared to Jno. 4. Bingham.
No one calls into question the publicoi
private character of our nominee and
much Of the dissatisfaction exhibited we
know to have arisen from supposed per-
sonal wrongs, and from nothing that
should warrant their aiding in his de.
feat.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.-Since Thurs
day last series of bloody battles has
been fought. The French under Bazaine
have been defeated at Metz, driven back
into the city and completely cut of
from the main body of The French
army, the Prussians under Won Stein
metz and Prince Frenrich Charles. Bat
ties in the vicinity of Bar lie Due have
been fought by the crown Prince against
MacMahon. The latter was defeated
and his army badly disorganized and is
reported cut off. The Fcenck have bro
ken up their camp at Chalons and are
marching in parallel lines with the
Prussians toward Paris. Paris is to stand
a siege. the Prussians are still besieg-
Strasbourg. England has offered her
mediation to save Paris. Eugene has
sent her valuables to Spain. War news
are abundant this week but so confused
on account of the difference of French
and Prussian reports that We are COM
PEELED to give them as we get them.
