Hon Daniei. Jenifer, a politician of some
ill te a few years ago,has announced himsolf a
candidate lor Congo ha in the sixth district of
Maryland, and published a manifesto of his
opinion which is thus d renbed by the Balti
more American : He does not state whether
he is a whig or a democrat, but erects an inde
pendent platform, and calls on those who ap
prove of it to support him. The questions of
the Compromise Act he considers definitely
settled, and that every attempt to disturb them
should he frowned down. Hu believes that
the time has passed when more protection
should he afforded to domesiic manufactures
than such as may he embraced within a reve
nue standard ; and says that it will he a matter
of grave consideration what measures may he
sdopted to bring down the revenues to a prop
cr standard, without materially deranging some
of the great interests of the country. He also
thinks that if duties are judiciously iaid, the
amount required for the support of the Gov
ernment will he sufficient to guard against for
eign competition and capital. With regard to
the public lands, be is of opinion that what
ever disposition should be made of them, the
old Thirteen should insist upon a just if not an
equal participation w ith the new States. He is
in favor of the Pacific rail road, and oppoacd
to Foreign Intervention; and in domestic af
fairs is in favor of sustaining Southern righta ;
upon which he considers the prosperity of the
whole Union depends.

The Policy oe the United States.—The
Boston Traveller closes a sensible articlu on
the condition of affairs in Europe with this
language : "As we said ubove, 'he clouds of
war may all blow over, and the next European
mail bring cheering news of a general pacifica
tion ; but if it does not, let evry American who
loves bis country, humanity, and God set his
face as flint against any national interference
in the mutter. If any one or more of the bel
ligerents, if war does take place, outrage or in
suit our commerce or ourcotintrymen, then let
us repel the outrage as becomes a nation com
petent to right its own wrongs and fight its own
battles; and if both sides injure us, as England
and France did formerly, then lei us vindicate
our ow n cause with a two-handed sword ; but
let the issues be our issues, independent of
those which now threaten Europe. A steady
hut a strong hand, a temperate but a firm re
solve, a polite but a just line of national con
duct, an crjuithble but an armed neutrality,
will cat ry us safely through nlmost any phase
which the politics of Europe may assume, and
ensure prosperity and peace to ourselves and
to our posterity,’’

Tub Eastern Question ani* the Prona
BILITy of a War.—The New York Mirror,
speculating on European politics, and the la
test complexion of the Eastern question, says:
“We still hold to the opinion that there will
be no war. The hostile poweta will approach
pet haps, within Higiit of each other & negotiate,
possibly, w itli (It awn swot-Is. The presence ;
of thi* hriglish awl r rench !l<*ct« will check this I
movement of tho Czar, wlnleihe Sultan, no!
receiving that “aid and comfort” winch ho
looked for from England and Franco, will be
glad to avoid a conflict with the * Great Rear. ’

private indignation against Russia hag not yet

when she bathed hr r snrnelars in the blood of
Greece. Rut there wtll he no war. The pow
ors of Europe and the East arc too p tor to in
dulge in such an expensive luxury. ”
The New York Commercial, in an article
on tho same subject, tomes to a similar con
clusion. We quote:
“ 'faking all things into consideration, tho
oft repealed declaraiio.is of the two principals,
the political condition of Austria, the fact that
peace is tho policy and no doubt the prefer
once of England, and the spirit of the age.w n

IloRRoRS PERVKTRATED AT NANKIN.-A
Idler from Canton, China, speaking of the
capture of Nankin l>y the rebels, says :
“Of the Tartar garrison, more than 20,000,
including the families of the soldiers, women
and children, were either put to the sword or
committed suicide, it being a point of honor
wiih that singular people to perish rather than
to yield. Every one of the priests, whet or
of the Budhist or Taouist religion, and who
were very numerous there, were massacred.
Their numbers could not have been less than
I ,fi()0 or 2,4)00; while those killed in the as
sault, the mining of the walls, and the entry of
the rebels, are said to amount to over 20,000
men. Very many families wore completely
annihilated by suicide. The streets were so
blocked up with dead bodies, that, in passing
from point to point, the conquerors hurst open
doors of houses, private as well as public, and
threw them inside, as the Chinese expressed it
as if they had been logs ot wood.”

The Richmond Dispatch tells of the acci
dental death of Francis Sieger, a voung man
of Cumberland, which occurred the till instant,
under the following singular mid distressing
circumstances. He went out during that day
ir not returning hnrr.e, his friends became alarm
ed and searched the woods for him without suc
cess. Although the search was continued he
was not discovered until Monday last, four days
afror he left home. His lifeless body was found
in the fork of a tree. It is supposed that he
fell in endeavoring to ascend the tree after a
squirrel he had shot, and was killed by the fall,
bulging in his downward course in the fork —
His head was much bruised. His I wo faithful
dogs were found under the tree, where they
had remained from the untimely death of their
master.
The N. Y. Tribune learns that the Demo

! The < nliiolrophe nl \inunrn I alls.
The H uffsht papers contain thrilling acCoums
of the late accident at Niagara Fall#, by which
three lives were lost. Avery, the \OUng man
who clung with desperation to an upright log
i hom 9$ o'clock on Monday night until 6 o’*
j c!©< k On Tuesday evening. was only 20 years
'<>f age, and to add to the painful interest of the
I frightful scene, hi# distracted father w as oneol
th* throng nf spectator* which lined the shores
: during ail day on Tue«day. During the daV
j hundred# left Buffalo by the railroad trains,
| hut, on their arrival at the Fail*, ware unable
to render the unfbrtur ate man any as#i*tance,
and were compclled to took on wiih painful
«u»j>en*e until their worst fears Were realised,
and the fierce element w hirled its poor victim
beneath its boiling current. The Buffalo Com
mercial ha# the following additional particu
lure:
Our informant tells us that Avery was in a
part of tin- rapid# where the rock# rise nearly
to the surface of the wafer. A log of Wood
apparently wedged lightly between the rocks,
and crossed by another still higher out of the
water,was hi* resting place. Here he remain
ed, half r-lirging to and half perching upon I
the log, from which he would occasionally!
slip down and walk a little on the rocks, w hich j
were or ly a short distance under ti e water, i
A few fiui in advance was a small full of a
bout four or five feet, and here and on each
side of him the waters rushed wildly on at a
speed ol about forty miles an hour. About
2A o’clock in the afternoon a raft was construc
ted formed of crossed timbers, strongly fasten
ed in a square form, a hogshead being placed
in the Centre.
The raft was strongly secured with ropes on
each »id», and was flouted down to the rocks
upon which A very wus stationed. As it op
preached the spot where he stood, tile rope
got f ist in the rocks, andtlie raft became im
movable Avery then appeared to muster
strength and courage, and descending from
the log, walked over the rocks to the place
where the rope had caught and labored hug
and hard to disengage it from the rocks. At
ter sometime he succeeded, and then with re
newed energy inspi-ed by the hope of rescue,
lie pulled manfully at the rope until he sue
ceedud in bringing the raft from the current
towards his fearful resting place.
Avery now got on to the raft,making himself
fast thereto by means of topes w hiclt had been
placed there for that purpose,and those on the
land commenced drawing it towards the shoie
It. had approached within thirty fret of one ol
the small islands, towards which its course
wag directed,when suddenly it became .station
ary iri the nttilst ol the rapids, the ropes having
again caught in the ro ks.
All endeavors to move it were found to he
in vain, and much fear w,s entertained that the
strain upon the ropes might break them and
occasion the poor fellow's loss. Various sug
geslinns were now volunteered, and several at
tempts were made to reach him. One man
went out in u boat as far as he dared to ven
lure, and asked him ifhe would fasten a rope
round his body and trust to being drawn in by
that.
The poor fellow, however, shook his head
despondingly, as though he fell that he had
not strength enough remaining to make him
self secure to a rope. At length a boat was
got rea ly—a life boat which had arrived from
Buffalo—and was launched. Seeing the pre
parations. Avery unloosed his fastenings, with
the intention of being ready to spring into the
boat. Borne on by the rushing waters, and a
mid the breathless suspense of the spectators
the boat approached the raft. A thrill ran
through the crowd—the boat lived in the an
gry waves—it struck the raft—a shoyt ol joy
rang forth from the shores, for it was believed
that he was saved—when suddenly the hope
that had been raised was again destroyed—a
moment's confusion followed the Collision,and
i in the next the victim was seen in the midst
ofthe waters, separated from bis frail support
and strutrffline for life.
For u minute or two ihe poor fellow, strik
ing out boldly, sWam stiongly towards the is
land, and theory echoed from shore to shore
that he Would yel be saved. But soon the fuel
became certain that he receded from the shore
— his strength wus evidently failing. Gradu
ally he was borne back into the fiercest part
of the current—slowlv at first, then more rap
idly.
Swiftly and more swiftly heapproaced the
brink ol the fatal precipice—the wuters had
him at last, their undisputed victim, and rnad
ly they whirled him on to death, as though en
raged at his persevering efforts to escape their
fu r y.
A sickening feeling came over the specta
tors when, just on the brink of the precipice
the doomed man sprung up from the waters
— clear fi-om their suiface—raising himself
upright as a statue, with his arms flung wild
aloft, and with a piercing shriek that rang
loudly above the mocking roar of the catar
act fell back again into the foaming waves and
was hurried over the brow ol the fatal preci
pice.
The boat which was made fast to the log,
and the raft, are still swaying to and fro in the
current. None of the bodies have been found
and probably never w ill lie.
The whole region of Western Virginia (says
one of our ©xchango papers) is rapidly filling

from all quarters. Few have any adequate
Conception of the extent or character of this
incoming. Hitherto, so scattering were our
settlements and so small the companies of new
corners, that most of them found possessions
and habitations along the margins of rivers and
lesser streams. Not so now. The low lands
are pretty w ell filled—too much crowded for
comfort to the hardy pioneers, who flee the
denser neighborhood and seek new homes up
on the uplands, thus peopling large tracts of

The Accident and Race at Havana.—A
correspondent of the Charleston Courier, under
date ol ‘•Havana, July 13,” gives ths following
account of the recent accident ut a race there,
and the race that aflerwaids took piece :
The race took place in the Cumpo Mieetar.
The crow cl was great, composed of all colors
and conditions. Inside there were several stands
built up w ith seats, to the height of twen
ty lett, one of which fell just before the
commencement of the race. A friend who
was Within six feet of the spot where the
accident happened describes the scene as fol
lows: The structure was very slightly built,
arid through a rush of persons to take posses
•lion of the seats, who had no right to do
so, it was crowded to excess; upwards of
a thousand persons being collected upon
this single stand, w hich was meant for but
two bundled , and as most of the occupants
were of a disorderly description, the movement
caused hy their fighting and pulling one anoth
er, increased the insecerity of their position
My witness observed the building swaying
to and fro and expected a catastrophe.—
Upon the entrance of the Captain General the
whole mass arose the better to see him, and bv
a side movement in taking their seats again,
their weight bore upon a weak place, and, in
the twinkling of an eye, the whole fabric fell
dow n, like a house built of cards. A thousand
persons were precipitated, one upon another.—
Iii a short time, those who were able came
craw ling out from the ruin. Some lorn by the
spikes which held the planks together, whilst
Others were dreadfully hurt hv the splinters of
the broken timber. All were more or less
hurt ; but numbers lay where they fell, un
able to move. These, to the number of seven
teen, were carried 10 a neighboring house;
others w ere taken to their ow n resident. 8, and
oihers hobbled off ns best they could. After
tnis, the race—if it can be called one with pro
priety—went. on, amidst the screaming and
shouting, of as blackguard a set as 1 ever cast
eyes upon.
I hatkeRay.—The London correspondent o
the N. Y. Trihutie writes :

ly with Mr. Thackeray, who is most enthusi
astic in his praises of America and the Ameri
cans. I made him promise to give us one
lecture in London, descriptive of your country
and institutions, which he is really anxious to
do, but 1 scarcely know any room that will
contain half his audience. The Opera House
or the Hippodrome might hold a quarter of us,
hut the Crystal Palace alone would contain the
whole. He dilTVrs from Mrs. Stowe in giving
a less revolting view of slavery, and, though
every living mortal must fervently desire its
extinction, yet he thinks, with me, that the
Americans themselves will not need the Duch
ess of Sutherland to teuch them what is due to
human nature, black or while.
