The hasty glauco we have been able to give this
work, kindly famished us by the author the sat
isfies us of its value, to philologist. It is arran
ged upon a clear concise plan, free from the com
plexitira too common to works of its kind, and
affords to the student of any of the languages
of Southern Europe a key with which many
of the difficulties he was heretofore encounten*d
are easily overcome.
Bell Smith Abroad.—Price $1.25, in Muslin.
At the Cheap Book Store.
This is a lively work filled with good humor
and some fine sentiment. Its descriptions of
places and things in Europe are in a new
vein, and certainly more enticing than the dry
disquisitions of letter writers generally. Alto
gether this book is a very pleasant affair and
fr«sfroni much of the trush characteristics of
other works of its kind.
Some of the Baneful Influences of Roman
Catholocism.
The following extract from a letter dated
Norfolk, August 14th inst., which we clip from
a Savannah exchange, will show how just are
the charges made? by the new order, against
Catholic priests.
“The Catholic Priests, Sisters of Charity,
and our worthy Mayor, Hunter Wood is, Esq.,
deserve more praise than I can find language to
express. Their self-sacrificing and unremitting
attention to the sick, has called forth the admi
ration of all. Morning, noon and night, with
out any cessation, they are going all the time.
Other mitysters and other physicians too, are
deserving of much commendation, but some of
the former have ingloriously fled with blanched
cheeks and trembling limbs, while their flocks
suffer for the bread of life, and die without the
sweet consolation of the Gospel. He who
searches the hearts of men will surely reward
all according to their just deserts at the Great
Assize.”
These are the men who arc endeavoring to
destroy this government—men who risk their
lives in the duties of their holy calling, and
while other fly from the pestilence, are found
raoviug amid the sick and dying, ministering to
their spiritual and temporal wants’ Ain) yet
these same men are to destroy this government ;
to tear down the fabric of Washington, Jeffer
son and Madison, and erect in its place the in
quisition Ac. Does not this look very much
like it? Out upon such contemptible subterfu
ge
Paupers and Criminals.
“There were two arrivals at Castle Garden,
yesterday, the Mary Morris, from Greenock.
Scotland, with 172 passengers, having in their
possesHion nearly $5,000 in mecie; also, the
Devonshire, from London, with 241 passengers.
The Palmer, that arrived the day Ix'fore, had
403 passengers and 812.000 in money.— New
York Evening Mirror.
If there was anything needed to entirely dis
prove the allegation of Know Nothing editors
and stump speakers that foreign paupers and
criminals arc overrunning this country, the
constant recurrence of just such paragraphs as
the above would be entirely sufficient. Here
we see two vessels arriving in one week with
SIB,OOO dollars in specie. Does this look like
a flood of pauper emigration ? We think not.
And yet these men toll us that they a are tstx
upon the country. If such is the case, ror the
first time in our lives, we arc for increased tax
es. Let them come, say we, and bring with
them as much of this kind of taxation as they
can drain from the coflers of the old country.
The Present Aspect of Affairs.—The
following, from the Louisville Democrat, of t!»<»
10th, gives a painful picture of the condition of
affairs in that city since the riot:
"We learn that the upper part of the city
presents a strange spectacle at night. Every
thing is as still as death—no stir upon the
streets—not even from one neighbor’s house to
another. The reign of terror is completely es
tablished. All confidence lx*tween neighbors
and friends is broken up. and the houses are
darkened and closed, with the hope that the
very stillness ami silence within will secure
safety. Think of this, citizens of Loufavile.—
Should such thinim lx*? No. How natural
then, to look to tne causes of these marvellous
changes. Behold the sad effects of political
excitement. Say that in the ordinary combina
tion of parties such could be, and you at once
belie the experience of all the pust.”
Prrtinknt Query.—ls Judge Andrews,
when he joined the Know Nothings, took an
Oath to proscribe Catholics, how cun he, if
elected Governor, take an Oath to support the
Constitution of the State of Georgia and of the
United States, which says no man shall lx? pro
scribed or disqualified from holding office on ac
count of his religious opinions ?
Senator Butler on Know-Noth
iugisin.
The following letter from Hon. A. P. Butler
was received by a Committee of the Demo
cratic Anti-Know-Nothing meeting in Charles
ton.
Stonelamds, near Edgefield, C. H., (
August 8,1855. j
Gentlemen :—Your communication of the
3d inst, inviting me to “attend “a meeting of
those citizens of South Carolina, who believe
that States’ Rights Southern Rights, and the
liberties of the people, are endangered by the
existence and progress of the Know Nothing
Order,” and, in the event of my inability to at
tend, requesting “such expression of my views as
1 may think proper to communicate, ’’ has been
received.
Whilst the state of my health will not allow
me to Ix 3 with you on the occasion to which you
have invited me, I fear, in the few remarks
I shall submit, I cannot do justice to the
subjects on which you wish my opinion. In
the threshold of these remarks, I give it as my
belief that the fair play and spirit and uu bigoted
provisions of our constitution cannot be assail
ed with success by the dagger poyer of secret
awl irresponsible associations.
To illustrate what 1 shall say hereafter, I will
quote from memory a sentence of Washington
Irving. “Our ancestors not only proclaimed
but practised a hardy morality that feared no
contact. They trusted to the courage and pow
er of truth in their anti-proscriptive constitu
tions and opinions. They were to trust their
destinies on the arena of a fair and open trial.
They thought they could trust the cause of reli
gion, so far as there should be a political juris
diction over it to the following clause of our
Federal Constitution :
“Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble
and to petition the government for a redress of
grievances.”
And, by the same Constitution, Congress was
intrusted with the power of establishing an uni
form rule of of naturalization. Now, as I un
derstand, the Know Nothing organization is to
make war upon both these provisions in their
true spirit. I suppose their aim will not be
avowed to establish a religion or to exclude a
foreign immigration ; but under the assumption
of Protestant purity and American patriotism
it is the purpose of the Order to take voluntary
jurisdiction over these subjects—that is, to put
into office themselves under the name of Protes
tant piety and American devotion. And, if
they should succeed in their designs by the in
fluence of these heterogeneous and irresponsible
alliances, they will have substituted their con
ventional obligations for the Constitution of the
Confederacy.
I believe I have left out another one of their
avowals—a common purpose to preserve the
Union, as they understand it should be pre
served.
I acknowledge no piety is proscriptive—l re
cognize! uo patriotism that is uncivilized and ex
elusive, and I want no Union that is not under
the control of an operative Constitution. The
Declaration of Independence and the Federal
and State Constitutions of the United States
were made under auspices and influences to re
buke the bigoted and conceited spirits that
would invade them in the nineteenth century,
when tlie different parts of theearth are as near
as the different provinces of the same empire wire
fojmerly.
I regard the Declaration of Independence and
the Federal Constitution as the great anti endu
ring pillars of an altar erected in this new world
to toleration—an altar that owes its construc
tion not to Jews, nor Catholics, nor to Protest
ants only, but to the united labors of all who
had sought here a refuge from trans-atlantic
domination. While Protestants may have borne
the first' and largest share in the work of Amer
ican Independence, others, of whatever religious
education, were scarcely behind them in
zeul and activity for the hallowed cause. Even
the Jew was no idle spectator of its advance
ment. I rcmember'to have heard it stated —
indeed, ample evidence of the fact was on several
occasions licfore me while on the bench—that
young Salvador was the first person who pub
licly read the Declaration of Independncein our
’96 District. He fell shortly afterwards, bat
tling for American freedom. And who was
this Salvador ? A gallant and a dashing young
Jew.
But a pertinent inquiry, in the consideration
of t his question, relates to the origin of Know
Nothingism. Where did it originate? It
is certainly not indigenious at the South.—
There was no pre-existing evils here as could be
remedied by its supposed virtues. It was, and
is foreign to our necessities. whether social or
political. It was no more Southern in its in
ception than it is in its development. The
North was its birth place. It arose primarily,
as an antidote to the evils which were there
brought about by the abuse of the naturalization
laws. The introduction f foreigners permitted
in disregard of the several constitutional re
quirements as to three years' residence, <fcc.—
Mischief is now resulting from the practice.—
But it is their own fault. They have mingled
the waters of the Orontcs and the Tiber, and
it is theirs to drink of them. At the South
these abuse's have not prevailed. A proper
observance of the law has had the effect of
bringing amongst us a different class of for
eign population from that at the North—
one. at any rate, of which we do not com
plain.
Another reflection here suggests itself: Where
•is the neceessity for any such interference with
the elective franchise as is now proposed by the
Know Nothings, when the State Governments
have, after all, plenty control o f the whole
matter ? Not only have they this control in
regard to the privilege of voting, but the pow
er exists in them even to determine who shall
enjoy the rights of inheritance within their bor
ders. If we were really apprehensive that for
eign immigration was about to endanger us iu
either of these respects, or in any other, the true
course would surety be to seek remedial action
through the State Governments themselves. To
demand it elsewhere would be to contemn the
rights of the State.
I shall regard Know Nothingism, if intro
duced at the South, as but another Trojan
horse, brought in by enemies and to lie accept
ed by the shallow and inconsiderate. Like that
horse it comes heralded as an object to call
forth our praises and enlist our adherence, when
it is really but tlie daring stratagem of those*
who can* not for our welfare, and respect not
our rights. My conviction is, that the doc
trines and tendencies of Know Nothingism are
not only insulting to such foreigners as adopt
our institutions from choice aud with the honest
resolution of rendering implicit obedience to
the laws we have proclaimed, but they are in
grossly bail faith with the provisions of the
Constitution, and especially uncalled for by tlie
South. That voluntary associations of indi
viduals should seek to siqx*rHeile the Constitu
tion of our country, is a degree of arrogant as
sumption which I cannot contemplate with
out aversion. Whatever may be tlie fate
the Union, let not our Southern honor i
be tarnished by the least violation of any of
the sacred obligations of that reverend instru
ment.
After what I have said, gentlemen, you may
expect a distinct summary of my opinions. I
have no hesitation in giving it. I am neither
Jew nor Catholic, but an humble, and I trust, a
sincere supporter of Protestant Christianity.—
In polities. lam no Whig. lam no Consoli
dationist, I ain a Democratic Republican, be
lieving in the rights and dignity of State au
thority. lam willing. 1 hope with patriotic
zeal, to support the Federal Government while
exercising its functions within constitutional
proscriptions. As a citizen, lam proud of the
deeds which Lave been achieved under tlie Star
Spangled Banner ; nor shall any influences eith
er of popular sentimeni or of party dictation,
ever divest me of that feeling.
I have the honor to remain,
Your obedient servant and friend,
A. P. BUTLER.

Judge Andrews in Oglethorpe.
We invite attention to the following corres
pondence :
Athens, Angust 13th, 1855.
Mr. Gardner — Dear Sir: In the Chronicle if
Sentinel of yesterday’s issue, there is a false state
ment, made by an anonymous writer, signed
“ Jeems.” in reference to the contents of a letter
from Col. Thomas, of Elbert,excusing Gov. Cobb
and himself for non-apperance in Lexington, on
Wednesday, Aug. Bth, Gov. Cobb and Col.
Thomas having been invited by the citizens of
Oglethorpe, to address them on that day. 'This
anonymous writer says, “A letter was read ex
cusing Messrs. Cobb and Thomas fornon-apear
ance, upon the grounds that Judge Andrews re
fused (and very properly too) to discuss the ques
tion before the people, with any one but his
immediate opponent, Gov. Johnson.” This, I
assert, is not the reason assigned by Col. Thomas
in the letter refered to, for the non-appearance
of Gov. Cobb and himself. Enclose I send you
his letter, which you will please publish. Permis
sion could not be obtained even to read Col.
Thomas's letter in the Court House.
Yours respectfully,
Jacob Phi.nizy.
Elberton, Ahg’st. 7th 1855.
Mr. Jacob Phinizv — Dear Sir: In behalf of
Gov. Cobb and myself, who have both been in
vited to attend the discussion at Lexington to
morrow, I write to inform you, and through you,
our friends there, that it will be useless to go.
Judge Andrews refuses, peremptorily, to con
sent to allow either of us to speak, though we
offered to allow him to speak as long as he pleased,
and neither of us would reply to him, but discuss
alone with Dr. Miller. It is but justice to Dr.
Miller to say, that so far as he was concerned,
he agreed at once to discuss with either of us,
fair terms, and we would have been glad to do
so, but the Judge objected, even to his allowing
free discussion, and refused to permit it.
You can make this known to the people of
Oglethorpe, iu any manner you see proper. The
statement herein contained, will not lx? denied by
the Judge.
We can only say to our friends, that one or both
of us*will address the people of Oglethorpe, at any
convenient time, and will meet in discussion any
gentleman of the opposite side.
Very respectfully yours, Ac.
• Thor. W. Thomas.
Election Returns.
A telegraph despatch, from New Orleans, da
ted 14th, announces the'guccess, as far us heard
from, of the democratic State ticket, and of the
re-election of Mr. Bell to Congress. Many of
our readers will be amused to learn tliat even in
Texas—democratic Texas—the know-nothings
were silly enough to expect, and impudent
enough to predict tlie election of their candidates
for Governor and members of Congress.
We have received a letter from a well-informed
gentleman in Tennessee, in which the writer
claims, with a considerable degree of confidence,
the election of Freeman, anti-know-nothing, in
the ninth district. He also adds that Savage,
dem., is certainly elected over Cullom. This would
make the delegation stand six anti-know-noth
ings to four know-nothings—a gain of two for
the democrats since the last election.
The reports from Kentucky render it prol»-
able that the following gentlemen have Imjch
elected to Congress:
1. Henry C. Burnett, democrat
2. John P. Campbell, know-nothing.
3. W. L. Underwood, know-nothing.
4. A. G. Talbott, democrat.
5. Joshua H. Jewett, democrat.
6. J. M. Elliot, democrat.
7. Humphrey Marshall,know-nothing.
8. Alexander K Marshall know-nothing
9. Leander M Cox, know-nothing.
10. S. F. Swope, know-nothing.
The last, delegation stood five democrats to
ffve whigs. Now it stands four democrats to
six know-nothings—a democratic loss of one.
The North Carolina delegation stands five
democrats to three know-nothings—a democrat
ic gain of one.
The Alabama delegation stands the same as
in the last Congress.
It will be seen from the above tliat in the four
States named there has been a net democratic
gain of two members.— Wash. Vn on.
Last Census of Georgia.
Tlie following is an abstract of the last cen
sus of Georgia, so far as it bears on the great
question of the day. The most most timid
Know Nothing we venture to say. will rest sat

perfect security.

[From the Clairs burg (Va.) Register.}
Know Nothing Freesoilism in
Virginia.
We have frequently heard it asserted that the
editor of the Know Nothing organ for North
western Virginia, the Wheeling Gazette, was a
Free Boiler, but we have lx3en reluctant to be
lieve it. We find, however, that the charge is
true. In his weekly edition of the 16th inst.,
he boldly avows Free Soil doctrines, and says
that he “may fall on it, but will never leave
it !” He defines his position in the following
emphatic longuage:
“Allying ourself to neither North nor South,
on our own hook we adopt the following plat
form on this question, from which we never
have and never will recede. We may fall on
it, but WILL NEAER LEAVE IT.
The severence of the General Government
from slavery.
The repeal of the fugitive slave law.
The repeal of the Kansas-Nebraska bill.
No wore slave territories.
The purchase and manumission of slaves
in the District of Columbia or the removal
of the seat of government to some free
territory.
'Hiis in our opinion the only national platform,
the only one on which the question can be set
tled, the only one that expresses the nature
and character of our government and institutions,
and on that we are willing to sink or swim.
We really hope we have raised no man's ire
by this camlid expression of our opinions for
it is too hot to indulge in hard words or
works, and we should pity any one who had it
to do.”
What think our Know Nothing friends who
have been exulting over the nationality of the
Philadelphia platform, of this startling an
nouncement by their organ ? What do demo
crats and all sound conservative men, who are
are devoted to the Constitution and its compro
mises, think of this ? Ought any party to “live,
move and have a being” anywhere, much less in
the State of Virginia, whose organ advocates
the treasonable doctrines that the people of the
different localities shall not frame their own lo
cal laws, as is avowed in the declaration that
there shall be no more slave territory ? This
places the Know Nothing party in a more odi
ous position than has ever been asserted by its
most zealous opponents. The worst that has
ever been said of it was that it was abolition
ized at the North, but it proves to be infected
with the same disease at the South, and in our
own State, and section of the State. Will not
all sound men abandon a party which accepts
such doctrines, and unite with those who have
ever opposed them, in sweeping them away, that
our own section may not rest under the imputa
tion of being traitors to the Constitution, and
traitors to our interests ?
Can a Know Nothing be a Demo
crat 2
At a recent meeting of the Democracy of Car
roll county, (Md.) held at Westminister, the
capitol of the county, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted :
Whereas, some Know Nothings continue to
call themselves Democrats, and claim to be as
good Democrats, since, as before they joint'd the
secret order: therefore,
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention, it is impossible for a Know Nothing,
while he continues such, to be a Democrat, and
we consider every man who is a Know Nothing
or who sympathizes with them, as holding a po
sition of decided hostility to the Deemocratic
party. But we know by what secret and insidi
ous wiles many an honest Democrat has been
induced to join the Know Nothings, under a be
lief that they and Democrats were not opposed
to each other, and we earnestly entreat all such
to follow the example of thousands of others,
and “take a walk out of the lodge." and return to
the Democratic fold which will receive them
with open arms.
Weather and Crops tn Texas.—The Gal
veston Civilian, in its commercial article, dated
9th inst., says:
We have reports of heavy rains in most sec
tions of the country, and if the crop of cotton
has not. as far as we have learned, been injured
materially, picking has been Jpreventcd'and retar
ded.
From both the Brazos and the Trinity we
have advices of a rise, and it is supposed that
several of the steamers are moving now. But
little benefit can at his late season lie derived
from it.
Weather at this point has been stormy and
we have had daill heavy showers of rain. A
success of such weather in the country must be
disastrious to cotton crons. The state of health
in Galveston is perfectly satisfactory. There
is no fever of any kind prevalent here at pres
ent.
’Che Yellow Fever at Portsmouth and
Norfolk.—Accounts from Norfolk represent
that the fever is on the increase. Eight deaths
occurred on Wednesday.
From Portsmouth “ all accounts agree that
there is no abatement of the diseae. Every
thing continues gloomy to the utmost extent.
The streets are nearly deserted, and business
is aimost entirely suspended. The business of
the Navy Yard is still continued, though over
one thousand workmen have taken their dis
charges.
Three fatal cases of yellow fever have occured
at Richmond, among persons who had fled from
Portsmouth. There is no apprehension at Rich
mond that the fever will become epidemic.
A Threat.—The Louisville, (Ky.) Know
Nothing Journal notices that a number of, its
subscribers liave stopped their papers, in con
sequence of its course on the recent riots in that
city, and remarks:
‘•We never censure men for withdrawing their
names from our subscription books. Those,
however, who choose to proscribe us because we
will not throw upon our party, the American
party, more blame than it deserves, may perhaps
pardon us for suggesting to them that, if we
chose to publish their names, they might, feel
an incomparably heavier weight of proscription
than they are capable of making us feel ?
Mormon Emigration.—From the 27th o
November, 1854, to the 26th of April, 1855,
3.626 persons left England for Utah—prose
lytes to the doctrines of the Latter-Day Saints
of the Salt country. On the authority of their
statements, it is said that there are 1,000 per
sons in England only waiting for the means to
get to Utah.
Horrible.—We understand that about four
o'clock yesterday evening, a woman and ten
children were found in the ruins of Quinn's
house, on Main-street, burned into cinders.—
On whose heads lie the deaths of these little
“innocentz."— Louisville Times.
Rachel—lt is said that the price of a
ticket to hear Rachel declaim in French
tragedy will be five dollars. Five dollars
ticket is paying for lessons in French a
rather a costly rate, especially as few wil
understand the teacher.
No Sects in Heaven.—The celebra
ted Whitfield, when preaching on one
occasion from the balcony of the Court
house, in Philadelphia, cried out, lifting
his eyes to Heaven: ‘‘Father Abraham,
who have you got in your bosom? “Any
Episcopalians?’’ “No!’’ “Any Presbyte
rians?” “No!” “Any Babtists?” “No!”
Have you any Independents or Seceders!”
“No, no!” “Why, who have jou, then?”
“We don’t have these names hr-e; all here
are Christians; believers in Christ Oh, is
that the case? Then God help us all to
forget party names, and to become Chris
tian in deed and in truth.
Yellow Fever tn Norfolk-—The
fever increasing in Norfolk, and the place
is nearly depopulated by the panic. Many
hundreds from the infected district are in
Washington City, and several cases and
two deaths have occurred among those late
ly arrived.
Austria is about to emancipate her
Jewish subjects preparatory to further in
ternal reforms. Prussia has published an
other circular defending her neutral posi
tion at Hanover had passed through a
ministerial crisis. The visit of the Prince
of Prussia to St. Petersburg is mystifying
all the political guidance.
The Chronicle & Sentinel Augusta
of yesterday, says :
“Wheat is now worth in this market from
75 cts. to $1 per bushel. The Corn crop
will probably be the largest ever made in
this section. The Cotton crop looks well
but docs not excel that of some previous
years.”
.
Railroad Stock.—Fifteen shares Geo.
Railroad stock were sold at Augusta on Sat
urday, at $95 per share.
Removal Question.
The following, we clip from the last Federal
Union:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the States of Georgia in
General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted
by the authority of the same, That the question
of Removal and Location of the Scat of Gov
ernment of the State of Georgia be referred to
the legal voters of said State, and that they be
required at the next general election, to en
dorse on their tickets “Removal” or “No R
moval.” If to be removed, where. And it
shall be the duty of the managers of such elec
tion, to make return, to his Excellency the
Governor, the number of Yob’s polled for and
against Removal, and the places voted for.

Southern establishments generally. His work
men are experienced, and of the first class in their
profession. This, together with the prompt ex
ecution of all work entrusted to him, will, we
hope, induce those who have orders to give, not
to overlook his establishment. Specimens of work
will be exhibited to al) who desire it.
THE EXAMINER FOR THE CAMPAIGN
The proprietor proposes to furnish the Exami
ner, during the ensuing campaign, that is, until
the first of November, upon the following terms.
The Daily to all cash subscribers, at the low
price of one dollar and fifty cents.
And the Weekly, for fifty cents per copy.
In no case will the paper be sent until the price
of subscription be paid.
The Examiner has now a circulation in upper
Georgia, and elsewhere, not surpassed by any
paper in the interior of Georgia, and equal, it is
believed, to any in the State. Every exertion will
be used to render it acceptable aS a political jour
nal to the Democracy, as well as to make its news
and miscellaneous department, equal to any other
journal in the State.
At the low prices at which both the Daily and
Weekly Examiner are now offered, for the cam
paign, no one need be without a paper. The
proprietor is induced to make the offer he does as
much for the benefit of the democratic party as
for his own.
Send the cash and the paper will be regularly
mailed to all who desire it.

well selected assortment of Medical Books, which,

The Old Farm House.
A Beautiful and Allee ting Domestic Story.
By Mrs. Caroline H. Butler Laing.
Illustrated with fine Engravrngs by Van Ingen,
from original designs by White. Nearly 500 pa
ges 12mo, bound io extra blue and red Muslin,
gill, iff 1.25.
The above work is one of the most interesting
Itooks published for some time, and has been
highly recommended by the press throughout the
country. The name of the authoress speaks vol
umes in its favor, and in this work she has pro
duced the crowning ellort of her pen. For fresh
ness and vigor of thought and style, and for orig
inality—in the charming views of country life at
the “Old Farm House”—in the striking illustra
tions of the follies of a fashionable city life—in
her description of good and evil natures —in all
the various subjects which she has touched with
her magic pen, she cannot be excelled. The
gentle heroine Amy is a model of Patience and
virtue, persecuted by the evil genius of her life,
the vdlain Staunton.
The book will be read with avidity, and none
who commence it, will desire Io lay it aside till
finished. The publisher oilers it with full confi
dence that its perusal will be attended with pleas
ure and profit to all readers.
