LETTER OF JOHN L, STEPHENS. ESQ.
We take pleasure iu presenting to the
readers of the “Examiner,” the letter of
the gentleman whose name heads this no
tice; and in doing so, cannot withhold our
approbation of its manly and independent
tone. In our opposition to the secret or
der of Know Nothings, we have been
influenced by a feeling of devotion to those
principles which, “as with a pen of iron
and the point a diamond/* are stamped
upon the Constitution of our country; and
until it ceases to exist; until it ceases to
threaten the liberties of the people; we
shall continue to wage war against it.—
History is too replete with examples show
ing the danger attached to secret political
organizations. Property, liberty, life, have
been sacrificed in different ages to such
institutions. It tnayfbe that in this Re
public, similar results may be witnessed.
The “ duyyrr and the cord,” an emblem
of the tyranny of a Know Nothing order
in days past, may show itself in what has
heretofore been considered, •• the land of
the oppressed, and the homo of the free;”
but this shall not deter; it only makes us
press forward to its defeat; and we have
not a doubt but we shall find thousands in
the ranks of the old Whig party of Geor
gia, eschewing as they do Northern Whig
gery, and loathing Abolition associations,
that will step forward like Col. Stephens,
to aid the Democracy in the overthrow of
‘ Know Nothingism” whatever shape it)
may assume.
(communicated.]
LaGrAxge, Jan. 23, 1855 - f 1
Mr. Editor:—l see from your inval
uable paper, (the “Examiner”) that the
Know Nothings were defeated in your late
Municipal Election for Mayor an I Aider
men ; and that Captain Nelson, the Anti-
Know-Nothing candidate for Mayor, to
gether with tho entire people’s ticket (save
one) was elected.
The Know Nothings, in this part of the
Rotate, claimed Atlanta as being A'woir
Xothiny, by a largo majority. In the
words of one of their order—“ The Know
Nothings would give the anti party —h—ll
in Atlanta” ! How badly deceived the
prophet has been ’ lam pleased to see
that you have been successful in teaching
another lesson to the mysterious order.
I look upon them as a party built upon
the wrecks of the broken down Native
American, abolition whigs of the North ;
and if it be democracy to oppose that par.
ty, then am 1 a democrat. 1 am, and
hope ever to be opposed to Nat vo Amer
ioan, Abolition Whigs. .My motto is and
shall I e—“ Give me political and religious
toleration, or give me death.”
Yours truly.
JOHN L. STEPHENS. ;

THE RULING PASSION.
We read in the Courier do In Gironde :'
An old soldier feeling his end approsch
ing, and wishing to die like a good chris-1
tian, sent for a elercymsn to administer to
him the rites us the church. After hav-'
ing attentively listened to the exhortation ,
of bis con feasor, and received extreme j
unction, he asked him with a feeble voice, 1
“ Can you tell me, reverend fa 1 her, if Be
bsatopol is taken ?” The clergyman. as
tonished at such a question from a dying
man. answered thut as yet then' was no'
positive account of its frill. The sick man '
continued, * The reason I nek the ques
tion io, as 1 am abonf to depart for the
other world, it would have given iu« great
satisfaction to be üble to announce the,
good news to Marshall St. Arnaud ” At
these words his head fell back on Lis pil-,
low, and after half an hour's suffering, the '
poor soldier breathed his last,

[Correspondenco of the Daily Examiner.]
; ATLANTA REPUBLICAN'S ADVERTISING LIST. j
Mr Dear Dr. Ramsay:—ln looking
over the advertising columns of the Re
rublieau for two or three months past.
have felt deeply grieved, indeed I may
say shame, at the niggardly support met
ed out to that print by the Whigs of At
lanta. Do they not see that every reflect
ing man, everywhere, who reads your
city papers, will draw a line of compari
son between the Whigs and Democrats of
the place, bused upon the advertising lists
iof the diderent papers, in regard to in
| telligence, liberality, and all that is noble
( and honorable in the human character.
It is possible, I admit, that the former are
, far superior to the latter iu all the qali
ties named; but it does not so appear to
>' me, and I question if it doesto others; for
i-, it is, at this day, so well known that
intelligent and generous hearted men ad
vertise their business, that he who neglects
to do it cannot escape being thought a
niggard, whether he is so or not. I, for
, one, would not buy a pound of tea or a
yard of cloth of a non-advertising mer
chant if I could avoid it; and the book
seller who does not advertise—l’d pass
him by as I would a house infected with
leprosy.
Let any one look nt Mr. Kay of your
| city if be would learn how to flourish in
1 business: he has been advertising liberally
for years, in different papers, and now,
while every day’s mail train that leaves
Atlanta goes scattering his advertisements
by means of his own Examiner, he still
advertises in the Republican Mr. Kay
will pardon me for saying that so high
toned a gentleman and liberal minded a
man as he is deserves success; and he
meets it. But, Whigs of Atlanta, Mr.
Kay is a Democrat. A word to the
wise, fcc.
But who is Dr. Jas. R. Smith, Editor '
and Proprietor of the Republican. As no- i
noble hearted a man as ever trod this green
earth; a bold, unwavering Whig, but too
much of a gentleman to admit mcanuess
into his paper; and who has gallantly
placed himself at the helm of the only
whig craft in Atlanta. Whigs of Fulton
county, are you going to let such a man
die for the want of that support which will I
greatly enrich yourselves if you will be
stow it? Well, I must confess I don’t
think too well of your party now, (and
mayhap on this ground you’ll deem me
! not the man to lecture you) but if you do '
I that, I’ll feel like wishing all the curses

< A Jefferson County Democrat. i
the DEFFENDER~of Sevastopol.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times gives the annexed interesting ac
count of Gen. Destrem, the officer who dF j
recta the engineering works of the defence
>f Sebastopol:
It is not, 1 believe, generally known j
that the officer who directs the engineer
ing works of the defence of Sevastopol is
a Frenchman—Gon. Destrem. At the :
period of the treaty of Tilsit, after the cel
ebrated interview on the raft, constructed [
at Niemen, it is known that not only be
tween the Emperor Napoleon and Alexan-1
der the greatest cordiallity prevailed, but
also between the French and Russian offi
cers who formed the suites of the mon- i
arohs. The feeling extended even to the
soldiers of the twu armies, and the days
and nights were spent in feasting by those |
who had so lately been arrayed in mortal
combat against each other. *
In this effusion of good will and friend-,
ship, the Emperor Alexander, who seem- ;
ed so fascinated by the overpowering ge- 1
nius of Napoleon as even to neglect the i
interesrs of his unfortunate ally the King
of PrtiWHn, begged, as favor, that his im-!
perial brother would permit a few young
men of the Polytechnic school to enter the
service of Russia Napoleon at once consen-;
ted, and selected four of the most distin- I
guished pupils of that celebrated establish
ment, whom he presented to Alexander.
I The young officers’ had just issued from
the school, each with a first class number
in science. Their names were Basaire,
Fabre, Portier and I'estrem. The first ,
three died inuny* years ago, and the last ‘
is the general of that name Jwho has had
so great a share in the construction of the
fortifications of Constradt. He is spoken
of as an engineer officer of the greatest
merit, and. what is rather rare, he has a
remarkable talent for poetry united to pro
found mathematical knowledge He is ;
J the attthor of several beautiful composi
tions ; but his best work is said to be trans-,
1 latmn into French verse of the fables of t
the Russian Lafontaine, Kriloff.

THE CANADA'S MAILS.
AN ARMY WITHOUT A HEAD I
A MOB BEFORE SEBASTOPOL.
The Canada’s mails reached N. York
Friday, at midnight. The English papers
make no mention of the illness of Mr. Ma
son, our Minister to Paris, and we hear of
no private advices on the subjoct. The
presumption is, therefore, that he had re
covered from his attack. The very latest
advices state that Austria has declared to
Prussia that if peace be not fully assured
by the first of June next, Prussia will be
compelled to mobiles not less than two
hundred thousand men, or raise a iorce ta
that amount within sixty days, which
must be prepared for decisive action.
The Russians have assumed a position
north of Sebastopol, and made themselves
almost invincible. They were fully in ex
pectation of an attack and another terri
ble battle.
The London Times of the 3d inst., con
tinuing its comments on the management
of the war in the East and the siege of
Sebastopol, makes the following humilia
ting confession:
The case is so flagrant—so manifest to
friend and foe—and so confessed and pro
claimed to all the world—that it would
be ridiculous to slur over the fact that the
British army is found to be no army at all
in the general military sense of the word
It is a mob of brave men, not more than
a mob, and rather less, inasmuch as it is
evidently commanded by those who should
not command it, and so deprived of its
rude natural efficiency All tht accounts
that we publish, and many more that for
one reason or other we do not publish,
but which lie in envelopes, loose heaps,
and elastic bands all about us, agree in
this—that the organization of the army is
either none, or worse than none.
. Again, alluding to the pitiful state of
the camp, the Times says:
We confess that we cannot look at the
horrors of Balaklava and Inkerman as we
once did, for it is plainly better that man
and horse should die gloriously, selling
their lives dear, and affording a spectacle
to the world, than that they should perish
unseen, unpitied, unarmed, almost un
numbered—lor it has come to that. We
confess, when, we are told that the Brit
ish cavalry is no more—that the horses
after gnawing one another’s mains and
tails, have most of them perished on the
i fatal route to the camp—some in
the act of dragging their dead comrades
I out of the way—we do indeed confess that
we could wish that they who are thus
dead bad all died in the battle field, even
.in somo mad change into the heart of the
Russian army.
Speaking of the incompetency of Lord
Raglan and the loss of Sir DeLpcy Evans,
the best general of the army, the Times
continues:
Now, are we to sacrifice what remains
• of the 50.000 sent already, and the 20,-
• 000 or 30,01)0 more told off for the Cri
j mea, to a name that, by the concurrent
and uncontradicted testimony of the whole
army is only a name, and even worse than
, a name?
We are aware that it is a painful act to
I supersede brave and loyal men, full of
' honors and years —but if the noble ship
is to be saved at all, it musi be by sending
its masts overboard, to substitute jury
; masts, at whatever desightment, or dam
age, or risk. .Sebastopol is the Marathon,
j the Thermopylae, the Salamis of these
• modera times, and a thousand years will
look back on the present struggle as we
! look back on those and some other cardin
;al points in the country, of the world.—
.Surely there are men in this country, or
in the Crimea, who can fight a battle and
’ manage a siege or a campaign. If there
are, let the filigree rules of the Horse
I Guards be cast away with the 10,00 U taw
dry uniforms that lie in a range on the
surface of the Crimea, and let the working
soldier, the tried and proved commander,
under whatever name, be put at the head
of the army.
WHAT WaTiFTuT WITH 1
A party of friends had assembled one
evening, and after discussing the various
topics of the day, one of them remarked:
“ Well, boys, ’spose you have all heard of
Dave Duncumb's marriage?”
Some of them had, and some had not.
“ Well,” continued the speaker, “ he is
married, and I was at the wedding. A
right merry time we had of it, too, I as
sure you; but there was one thing that
surprised me very much, and that was the
manner in which they cut the wedding
cake. I can't help thinking of it. Now.
what do you think they cut it with ?”
“The weddiug-ring,” said one.
“ No,” said the first speaker, “ vou must
guess again.’*
“A string,” said another
“ No.”
“ A stick whittled to an edge.” sugges
ted a third.
“ No.”
“ A piece of tin,” ventured the fourth.
“No.”
“ A piece of pasteboard, guessed the
fifth.”
“No.”
“ Well, ivhat was it?” exclaimed they, j
all in a breath, after guessing every im- '
aginable article* except Hie right une, j
that could possibly, or impossibly, be
put through such a cake.
“ Why,” said the quiz, slowly, “ they ,
ent it with a knife, to be sure.” *
you tell me,” asked a pundit
“ why. a conundrum that nobody can guess '
is like a ghost?” “Shall I tell you now,
or next mouth?” “ Now if you please.”
“ Well, sir, sooner or later every body

. AN UNFORTUNATE WIDOW.
Sol. Smith, in bis recently published
“Theatiical Journey-work”—by the way,
; an exceedingly interesting and amusing
j volume, as exhibiting the early struggles
. of the drama in the west and south-west
I*, —relates the following old occui rence dur
-11 ing his perigrinations in Georgia :
“Between Celeba Swamp and L’ne
; Creek, in the Nation, we saw a consider
i able crowd gathered near a drinking house
most of them seated and smoking We
stopped to see what was the matter. It
» was Sunday, and there had been a quarter
t race for a gallon of whisky. The first
i thing I noticed on alighting, was the sin
gular position of one of the horses of the
i i arty. He was kneeling down and stand
i t ng on his hinder feet, his head wedged
n between the ends of two logs of the gro
cery, and he was stone dead, having evi
dently run directly against the building at
full speed 4 causing the house partially to
. fall About five paces from the house lay
the rider, quite senseless, with a gash in
his throat which might have let out a
thousand lives. As I said, most of the
i erowd were seated and smoking.
“ What is all this ?” I inquired. “What
is the matter here?”
“ Matter ? ” after a while answered one
in a drawling voice, giving a good spit,
and refilling bis mouth with a new quid.
“Matter enough ; there’s been a quarter
race!”
“But how came this man and horse kill
ed?” 1 aksed.
“ Well,” answered the chewing and
spitting gentleman, “the man was consid
eiably in liquor. I reckon, and he run his
hoss chuck agin the house, and that’s the
whole on’t ”
“ Has a doctor been sent for ’’’inquired
one of our party.
“ I reckon there ain’t much use for doc
tors here,” replied another ot the crowd.
“Burnt brandy could’t save cither of ’em
—man or hoss.”
“ Has this man a wife and children ? ”
inquired I.
“No children, that I knows on,” an
swered a female, who was sitting on the
ground a short distance from the dead man
smoking composedly.
“He has a wife then ?” I remarked.
“What will be her feelings when she
learns the fatal termination of this most
unfortunate race ?”
“ Yes,’’ sighed the female—“it was an
unfortunate race. Poor man, he has lost
the whisky.”
“ Do you happen to know his wife?—
has she been informed of the*untimely
death of her husband?” were my next in
quiries.
“Do 1 know her? Has she been in
formed of his deata ?” said the woman.
‘ Well, I reckon ycu ain’t acquainted about
these parts. lam the unfortunate wid
der.”
“ You, inadame ! You the wife of this
man who has been so untimely cut off ?”
I exclaimed in astonishment.
“ Yes, and what about it?” said she.
“Untimely cut off? Ilis throat’s cut,
that’s all, by that 'tarnal sharp end of a log
and as for it's being untimely, 1 don’t
know but it’s as well now as any time—
he warnt much of account, no how
“ She resumed her smoking, and we re
sumed our journey.”
CRUVELLI AND HER MYSTERY.
Sophie Cruvelli, the great singer, who
bolted away from her engagement at the
Opera at Paris, was very coldly received 1
by the audience on the night of her reap- i
pearance. It was in the “Hugenots,” and i
there was a dead silence until, in the nat- 1
ural course of the piece, the question is
put to her by the Queen, “Tell me the re-,
suit of your adventurous journey ?” The
question so apropot to her recent escapade
so much amused her that she smiled.—
The house took the joke, and a burst of
moment harmony was restored. The au
dience applauded thr syren, as usual, and
called for her when the curtain fell.
It appezrs that Count Vigier, the young- ’
er, had told Sophie Cruvelli that he was
in love with her, but, being under age,
dared not marry her, in France, without
the consent of his father, who is obstinate
haughty, and a millionare. She agreed |
to elope with him, and they cut off, not to
Belgium, as was reported, but to Venice. |
There my young gentleman funked, ex
pressing love for the lady, but strong fears,
that his father, on their return to Paris,
■ would annoy them in every manner iu bis
power. Just then, Cruvelli’s two broth-,
era arrived in Venice. One of them coax- i
ed Sophie back to Paris : the other re
mained at Venice, to ascertain young
I Count Vigier*B “intentions.” The lover
. declared that the desire of his heart was
:to marry the lady On this, the fraternal
| mind was set at ease. The elder Vigier,
| seeing what turn things had taken, and'
' much admiring the singer’s beauty, char- i
i aeter, and abilities, an<i relinquished his!
opposition—gallantly declaring that, from 1
the first, it would have gratified him to
see his son so mated—and wrote a formal.
letter to mamma, demanding the fair So-'
phie’s hand for his son, and received a
gracious assent. The upshot is, that the
I government having abandoned all proceed-.
ings against the capricious cantartice. she j
has promised to remain until the end of'
1 the season, of 1855, when her engagement
closes, and the marriage will take place
immediately after. It is most unlikely
ly that anything will tempt Sophie Cruvel
li to sing in public after her marriage.
Indeed, until then, she will have to sing
twice orthrioe a week to the Parisians.

MAKING BRIDES.
li A traveller in Germany says: “The
, j Germans, by the way, have a (jueer way
<of making‘brides,’ and of doing some
j other things in the courting and marrying
t way which may interest you, perhaps.—
-j When a maiden is betrothed,she is called
a ‘bride,’ and so continues till she be
; i comes‘wife.’ All the while she is engag-
| ed she is a‘bride.’ The lovers, imrnedi
i ately upon the betrothal, exchange plain
j gold rings, which are ever worn after
t' wards till death parts them. The woman
r! wears hers on the third finger of her left
t; hand, and when she becomes ‘wife,’ her
-! ring is transferred to the third finger of
j I the right band, and there it remains.—
-I The husband always wears his ring just as
I the wife wears hers, so that if you look
- upon a man’s hand you can tell whether
■i he is mortgaged or not. There is no
t i cheating for him ever after —no coquett
): ing with the girls, as if he were an unmar
r' ried man; for >.o! the whole story is told
i by his finger ring. A married Viennese
i i lady was much amused when I told her
> j that in our country we only ‘ring’ the
I women, but let husband run at large un
t j marked! ‘Oh, that is dreadful!’ said she,
I more than half shocked. ‘Think, there
» is Frederick, my husband—only twenty
,; lour—so young so handaome —and all
, the girls would be taking him for an un-
■ ' married man, and be making love to him!
! Oh, it is dreadful, is it not? They would
. > never know he w r as married. How can
you do so in your country? I would not
i 1 live there with Frederick for the world.”
i• Mjy* “If ever I’m married,” said Ike,
( j looking up from the book he was reading
! and kicking the stove door so energetical
i ly —“if ever I’m married.”—“Don’t
i speak of marriage, Isaac, till you are old
. enough to understand the bond that binds
I congealing souls. People mustn’t speak
,of marriage with impunity. It is the first
thing that children think of now a-days,
and young boys in pinafores, and young
girls with their heads fricaseed into spit
toon curls; and full of lovesick stories, are
, I talking of marriage before they get into
j their teens. Think of such ones getting
j married! Yet there’s Mr. Spaid, when
heaven took his wife away, went right to
, a young lady’s cemetry, and got another,
j no more fit to be head of a family than I
;am to be the board of mayor and aider
men.” She tapped the new box that her
| friend, the colonel, had given her, with
her eyes resting upon the gold heart-in-
. i laid in the centre of the lid, as if hearts
were trumps in her mind at the time,
I while Ike without finishing his sentence
j kept on with his reading, accompanying
himself with a pedal performance on the
stove door, and a clatter upon the round of
. his chair with the handle of a fork in his
est hand.
