FOR CONGRESS, SECONP DISTRICT. GYRUS L. DUNHAI'ii OF WASHINGTON COU.NTT. 0"The Whigs of this District will hold their ronvention to nominate a candidate for Congrrys at Charlestown, on Thursdaynext, the 10th inet. Judge Otto, of New Albany, Wm. M. Dunn, of this city, and Rojret Martin, of Washington county, are most prominent among the candidates for nomination. good many friends have asked us aa to the prospects of our Daily. Our answer to one and all is, that thus far, our most av.nguine expectations are more than realized. When we issued our first number, we had not even one subscriber; now, before the fut week has ended, we have over lour hundred. If advertisers will only come in as promptly as eubseriberB have done, the enterprise will succeed well. At any rate, the Daily is bound to go ahead, and ''ncrease in interest in proportion to its increase of biifineps. (fcjr The tueamer Pennsylvania, on her way from Pittsburgh to St. Louis, stopped at our wharf this morning to discharge pome freight. Slie had over four hundred passengers on board, of whom seventywere negroes. The negroes were being removed by some emigrants from the northern part of Kentucky to Missouri, Every part of the freight room of the boat and the hurricane deck was filled with household gods, farming utensils &c. If the cholera does not break out on board the Pennsylvania it will not be for the want of impure air, filth and carelessness as to exposure and negligence as to personal cleanliness on the part of a good n limber of her passengers. O" The Louisville Courier of yesterday reports three or four new cases and two additional deaths fiom cholera in that citv. the officers of the Atlantis, which boat left Louisville at 2 o'clock yesterday, say that the disease had considerably abated, and it was hoped that it would entirely disappear in a few days. &J The fellow who "did" so many of our citizens by selling them Morse's Geography at one dollar when it could be had at any of the book-stores for sixty cents, lias recently been figuring among the ''intellectual portion" of New Albany and playing the sarrw game, lie must be the very quintessence of impudence.

O The old Commonwealth of Massachusetts h& lately refusal, by a vote of her Legislature to charter a Othoiic College. We hope they have rome better reason to give for it than that the institution is Catholic. One class of our citizena has just aa much right to privileges of this sort as auother, and a refusal to grant ihrn on the ground of religious opinions, ia an outrage of which any Legislature in this country should be ashamed. Lou. Democat. A majority of the people of Mafsachu getts are opposed to equal rights and equal privileges. The lords of the loom have become so used to enjoying exclusive privileges in all secular matters ui that Stale that they think they must enjoy a monopoly of religion, and also of literary and scientific institutions.

Pontoon Bridge, made of India rubber an American invention, and such as were sent to Mexico during the war, but were not used, have been exhibited at Chatham, England, by Mr. Moulton, in the presence of the Duke of Wellington and a large number of Eritish officers. They were previously tried in l47, and were used in Africa by the British forces there. The East India Company has ordered a large number for the use of Sir Charles Napier; and his battles may hereafter be won through the aid of a Yankee contrivance and a little India rubber. New Albany Dem. Pontoon Pridges, which are designated above as an "American invention'' merely, are the invention of Col. John F. Lane, a graduate of West Point, and brother to Col. James 11.

Lane was m the Florida war, and fell a victim to the fever of that climate. lie was a young man of rare merit, and a brave officer. 1LT" Our friend of the Terre Kaute Expreos is becoming leasonable, and admits that " Madison is one of thp cities, if not the city, of the State." To confirm his late and better digested opinion, we send him our Daily.

A New Daily. The Madison Courier came to us j'esterday in the shape of a very neatly printed and well filled daily. Arrangements have been made by which it will be continued for one year at least. We have no doubt it will succeed, or else the representations of the growing prosperity of Madison, of which we have heard so much, is all gammon. There is no better evidence of the sound growth and prosperity of a place or country than the encouragement bet-towed upon its local newspapers, by the people at home. When we have been tuld of the great opportunities for good investments of capital in a place, or of the fine profits from businees that may be realized there, we have taken no man's word for it, but looked at the encouragement given to the newspaper or newpapers published there, if the place was large enough to support one. If, in a new place, a daily can be sustained, we are forced to conclude that it is prosperpcrous, and going ahead. We could refer to numerous instances of the kind. Any body, by looking at the newspapers published at those places, where a great deal of business is done, will be readily satisfied of the truth of our remarks. Cin. Enquirer. Newspaper Patronage The following just remarks, in regard to the publishing of newspapers, are from the New York Courier 6c Inquirer. The Fame remarks might be applied to other latitudes than New York City, with equal truthfulness : "Not one man in a thousand bestows a thought upon the effort and money which a news paragraph in his morning paper may have cost. He pays the pittance demanded cs the price of the paper, and calls himself its 'patron;' threatens to stop it if a letter is wrong side up, and never dreams that it requires a particle more of care or labor to make a paper everv day, than it costs him to damn the editor, if the paper is even five mi nutes behind its time." Feasting. A Kentuckian, on hearing a per. son praise the Rutland punchbowl, which, on the christening of the young marquis, was built so large that a small boat was actually set sailing on it, in which a boy sat, who ladled out the liquor, exqaimed, "I gues I've seen a bow that 'ud beat that to smash; for, at my brother's christening the bowl was so deep that, when we young 'una said it warn't sweet enough, father sent a man down in a diving-bell to stir up the sugar at the bottom." 33" It is stated in the papers that within three months after the new law of divorces was adopted in France, there were as many divorces as marriageg, and that in eighteen months twenty thousand divorces were registered. A writer says: "Men are very frequently like tea the real strength and goodness is not properly drawn oat of them until they hare been for a ehcrt tire; in hot water."

INTELLIGENCE FROM CANADA. j MojrraiAi., May 3 Neea. Since th Issuing of the address cf the British 1 party, calling upca the people ta preserve peace no riot have occurred. The organization of the j various warca for ulterior purpeses, if the news j from England should render them necessary, is j rapidly going on. The military guard still con- ; tinues permanent in the government office. Sev- ', eral French addresses, expressing confidence in 1 the Ministry, hae been presented to Lord EI- f gan. I It was reported this morning that the Gov- j ernor would return, but he did not do so. It is not believed that further violence would be shown him. j The ministers have sustained quasi defeat in the j Legislative Council. For three days the Ministerial partizans have been trying to get up addres- ! sea to the Government, similar to that of the As- , semblies, but failed. To-day, debate on the mat- j ter was postponed for a fortnight, by a majority of ; one vote, in order to get a fuller kuse. It is said the Upper Canada Radicals refuse to allow the sittings of that house to be transferred j to Quebec.

RIOT AMONG PENNSYLVANIA MINERS, j Pottsville, (Pa.) May 3d. j There has been a serious riot among the Mi- ' ners in the vicinity of this place, who are on a i strike for higher wages. Some of the men enga- j ged in this business refused to join the majority j who turned out, and, as usual in such cases, the latter resorted to coersive measures and succeeded j in stopping the laborers and Miners on the Mount J Carbon Railroad. One Miner was shot by the j proprietor of the Mill Creek Colliery" for an attempt at incendiarism. L TER. Philadelphia, May 3d, 9 P. M. A despatch from Pottsville slates that there was no riot The laborers held a mass meeting, but all was quiet Power of Imagination. An honest New Eng land farmer started, on a very cold day in winter, ; with his sled and oxen, into the forest, half a mile from home, for the purpose of chopping some wood. Having felled a tree, he drove the team alongside, and commeuced chopping it up. By an unlucky hit he brought the wh-Je bit of the ax across his foot with a sidelong stroke. The immense gash so alarmed him as to deprive hirn of all strength. He fell, the warm blood filling his shoe. With great difficclty he succeeded in rolling himself on to the sled, and started the oxen for home. As he reached the-door he called j eagerly for help. His terrified wife and daughter, i with much difficulty lifted him into the house, as j he was wholly unable to help himself, saying his j foot was nearly severed from his leg. He was j laid carefully on the bed, groaning all the while very bitterly. His wife hastily prepared dressings, and removed the shoe and sock, expecting to see a desperate wound, when, lo! the skin was not even broken! Before going out in the morning he wrapped his feet in red flannel, to protect them from the cold : the gash laid this open to view, and he thought it flesh and blood. His reason not correcting the mistake, all the pain and loss of power whicli attend a real wound followed. Man often suffers more from imainary evils than real ones. Manners. I make it a point of morality never to find fault with another for his manners; they may be awkward or graceful, blunt or polite, pol ished or rustic. I care not what they are, if the man means wed, and acts from honest intentions, without eccentricity or affectation. All men have not the advantages of "good society," as it is called, to school themselves in all its fantastic rules and ceremonies, and if there be any standard of manners, it is one founded on reason and good sense, and not upon these artificial regula tions. Manners, like conversation, should be ex- i temporaneous, and not studied. I always sus- ; pect a man who mets me with the same perpe- ! tual smile upon his face, the same congeeing of I the body, and the same premeditated shake of j the hand. Give me the it may be rough grip of the hand, the careless nod of recognition, and when occasion requires, the homely but welcome i salutation, " How are you, my old friend?" j Young Man, Stop! You, young man, on the j way to the ball-alley or billiard-room, with a cigar j in your mouth, and with an appetite for a mint- j julep stop a moment. Are j ou not in a danger- ; ous way? Will those places, or your habits, lead ' you to respectability or usefulness in society? i WPl you, by them, become more moral, more virtuous or intelligent? If not, stop where you are, we beseech you. You have nobleness of heart, perhaps, and a genorous disposition. You may do good to those about you, if you will. Your ex- 1 ample, if it be such as will lead to virtue, will draw others after you ; or if it leads to vice or error, will also, and the more readily, lure other in the way of evil. . Then, ycung man, stop and think upon your i course! Where is it tending? If to bad habits, ! and low associations, stop instantly. Stand firm. Take not another step in the dangerous way, but turn back while you have the power, and ceek the way of virtue, the ways of intelligence, and you may do good in your day and generation, and ' may be esteemed by those who enjoy your acquaintanee. How to Conquer. "Wife," said a hen-pecked husband, "go to bd." "I won't." "We!!, tha, it ur. I will be irfni."'

GOOD ADVICE. The work that should to-day be wrought, Defer net till to-morrow; The streegth that should within b sought, Scorn from without to borrow. Old maxims these yet stout and true They speak in trumpet-tone : To do at once what is to do, And trust ourselves alone.

MThe French Government has com to the important resolution of armed interference to reinstate the Pope cf Rome. A force adequate to the emergency has already filled for CivitU-Vec-c h : a. The warlike contest between the several States of the Continent continues with unabated fury, and with most disisteroua results to all par tie engaged. The Danes are now enforcing a strict b'ockacs on all the German ports, and it is Mated that emigrant vessels will not hereafter be allowed to paas unmolested. ITALY. Italy is still in indescribable confusion. The republicans have been put down in Genoa, after having command of that beautiful city nine davs. On Tue-cav there had been general risin gs in favcr of the Grand Duke; and the ir.aa who wis recently Dictator is new a prisoner. The landing cf the French at Civ ilia Vecchia will, doubtless, put an end to the Roman Republic, and be followed by the restoration cf ths Tope. The Imperial army besieging Cemorn Is expected to attdck on all sides the country surrounding and in the hands of Mazseard. Vienna papers of the 1-tth furnish positive information of the occupation of the important position taken by the Hu ngiria:is. The d-!.ii' of this action are given in the German papers, and are to th effect that Wincisgriats. at the head of his be! regiment, opposed the pr-'g-t-ss cf the Hungarians in the direction of Can. cm. A fierce engagement ensued, in which the superior tactic of Muzseard proved irresistible. VENICE Is besieged by Austrii by sa ?r.d hiu:, .-; must toon surrender. SICILY. The struggle has coinnence,i with dreadful ferocity. A dreadful battle took place on Good Friday, between the Neepo'iMns and Swiss trooops and the people of Catania, which continued all night, and ended in the defeat of the Catanians. A great nnmber were killed, and the city afterward sacked and plundered. The terror produced by this defeat caused the cily of Syracuse to surrendered without resort to arms. GERMANY. Germany is still in a state of grest confusion. The Prussian government is said to have obtained the ass.-nt of a few of the small States to tho assumption of the Imperial Minister by the King. Austria is violently opposed to the plan, which would tratisf-r the linpt-ri.il dignity from the house of Bran Jenberg to that of Bavaria, the third Stat ia Germany. Scarcely less so, both Franc and Russia are strongly opposed to the change. All these diff.'u'uies, perhaps, wdl be ot over if the saialler States are. unanimous in favor of th union with Prus-i 1, but this is not the fact. Hanover and Saxony have too strong a sense of what interest t'i.y h iv- in the re-constitution of the German E ripirj on the basis proposed at Frankfort. In swords relation", Austria is assuming a very warlike appearance. The Austrian are in great difficulty. All divisions of the Austrian army towards Perth have been repulsed hv the Hungarians. The great struggle is now for the possession of the Hungirian fortress of Co morn on the Danube which the Austrian have besi"g"d for several w-eks, and which the 1 1 u n - i rians are endeavoring to relieve. If t'.ey should succeed the caus- of Anstrii will be desperate. HUNGARY. Charles Albert, though he could not resist Radetzkey, inflict-d great injury oil Austria by compelling the Au-triaa Government to detach an army of twenty thousand men from CiviU to Italy, at the breaking out of the Sardinian war.
