las Danes Sevan Qc*«noa.—Respecting
this matter, the Paris correspondent of the N.
Y. Commercial write*:
A greet deal has been said this week upon
this Danish Sound question. It has been an
nounced, indeed, that Denmark bad offered to
join the alienee and furnish effective aid, if
France and England would guaranty her pro
tection against the threatened proceedings of
tbe United States. Bat ft is considered im
probable that Denmark would assume a posi
tion of hostility to Russia at a moment when
tbe allied fleets are wifodrawiag from tbe Bal-
ie, sad when she must be left exposed to the
reprisals of bar powerful neighbor.
Bat there is another carious incident to be
mentioned. Tbe Constitationnel of last Friday
eontained an article on tbe existing situation
between Denmark and the Uoited States. It
bid down this dilemma: either American ship*
would be allowed to paw without paying the
dues, and then all nations wonld insist on en
joyingthe same advantages; or else American
ships would be fired at and sank, and war wold
ensue. Tbs article concludes with expressing
the belef that tbe stfeif will be token in band
by Saropean diplomacy and by it be definitive'
ly settled. By “ European diplomacy” is
meant the Cabinets of France and England.
This article was written by Mr. P. Dubois, one
of tbe amaonenses of tbe Emperor, and is sup.
posed to have been intended ae a feeler and as a
warning.
At tbe Nashville (Tonn.) municipal election,

dermen, with one exception, is American.
How It wot Done.
The thoughts about to be expressed are not
suggested merely by the disappointment and
mortification of defeat. Tbe will ef the major
ity is sovereign in our happy country—is the
foundation and chief corner stone of onr pecu
liar form of Government, and when feirly ex
pressed to a lawful manner, it is not only the
duty of every good cititen to acquiesce In it,
bat It ehould be dune cheerfblly and with hearty
good will. But under the otrcnmatances U
seems to ns, not only natural hut altogether
right for the American party to/eel and express
dissetlsfeetion at the result ef the raoent elec
tion in Floyd oounty. And the reason it, be.
cause it wasnot feirly dons—undue andlmprop-
*r influences were brought to bear upon the
voter*. Many well disposed men have been
misled belog maliciously and wtifeljy misin
formed by the Ant! American party. In regard
to the principles alma and objects of the Amer
ican party. They have even been carried
away *•> for as to believe that the Know Noth •
tags as. they have been ealled, were bad men,
evil disposed, and that they proposed to over
throw our government by undermining tbe eon-
stiuxfoa. setting at defiance the laws and, that
disregarding the maxims and the much loved,
honored and almeet sanctified principles of the
venerated Fathers ef the Republic, they were
about to launch forth into an unknown set with
out chart or uompasa. in search of some fabled
Utopia where they might hope to realise a ful
fillment of their fenciful dreams. This decep
tion upon foe simple minded was practiced the
more eerily on aooount of the secrecy, that du
ring its infancy, veiled foe proceedings of the
American puny. Now the mere feet of Us be
ing done la eecrot dees not .at all determine the
character of an action, as to whether it is good
or evil. “In foe coarse of hamsn event**
there have been probably mure good than evil
deeds done in secret—even whole chutes of
actions we are commanded, by “Him who
taught as never man taught,” to perform in se
cret. There are substantial reksoos, good and
true, and an abundance of them why it was
necessary for this now party to acquire some
strength before announcing itself to the world,
and the mere fact that its' members met in st»
cret was no proper ground for venture. Has
not the honorable fraternity of Free Mesons
existed for hundreds of yean, and daring this
whole time preserved the most complete seers
ey, without plotting any evil whatever, moral,
social, polities! or religious? Bat it may be
arid this is not a political society. That does
not matter, it is moral, social and religion*, and
it never has beau an engine to subvert the best
interests of society In any of its phases or
forms bat has dona mueh to advance and im
prove all who ooma within the-circle of its in*
finance. Than why is it that the American
party most be maligned and abused indiridu-
alijr acd collectively because of that which of
itself la neither good or had? Bat this was
not alL The demagogues nod politicians by
trade who hare vomited forth foe vile odStents
of their fool stomachs so profusely, and who
ora as void of charity,—that ehief of all foe
Christian graces,—ess-gourd Is of blood, have
fehricated “ aims sod objects” for the American
party,« diffeient from their true ones as mid
night darkness from high noon, and then insis
ted in public and in private that their version
was the correct one and that the publisned prin
ciples of this new party were only put forth for
a blind to mislead the people and conceal their
real objects.
These high handed measures are unparalleled
in the history of politieal controversies, and
the perpetrato a would doubtless have bad the
Spanish proverb verified onto them that
“cursedike chickens generally come home to
roost,” bad not the? time been too short prop
erly to meet and repel these most unjust and
malicious charge*. The secrecy was a load a
little too heavy for the party to carry and win
the race—not in itself wrpng, bat it served as
an occasion for the astute political tricksters
who opposed this new movement, to excite ras-
picion and pave tbe way for perversions and
slanderous misrepresentations with which they
filled tbe ears of the unsuspecting. The secre
cy of tbe American party is now abolished and
it will in the future carry on its deliberations
in the same manner as that usually adopted by
tbe other parties.
But aside from these things, which In this
county, would bsve had tffjet but to a limited
extent, an acoonnt of tbe good sense and Intel,
ligence of the people, there are other causes
which finally defeated the American party.
We have no donbt bat that if the same course
had been pursued by tbe candidates of both
parties for the legislature, tbe Americans would
have been elected by a - fair majority. Bat
tho coarse pursued was quite different The
American candidates are high-toned honorable
men—entertaining and actuated by a nice sense
of propriety—they would by no means conde
scend to use sueh moans and appliances as were
made available by their opponents. TiTey re
ceived a Urge majority of the votes of the most
respectobe men of tbe coonty and the votes
that defeated them can be secured for any man
who does not scrapie to ester to their wishes
and tickle them with tbe right kind of straws
Texas Valley, Oct. 3nd 1843.
Mil Editor: In the Southerner of IhvlStli
September, appeared an article signed M. 8.
Ball aod Berry Bagwell, publishing their with
drawal from the American psrty, sod alleging
at their reason for so doing, that they had up-
plied to tbe president of Council No. 132, eud
had been refused Ao. As the reflations
on the perty, as well as the presiding officer of
the Council, of Which they were meiuhsrs, I
wrote by the first oportuuity to the Southerner,
giving a comet statement of the conversation
that oecured, and In as polite a manner ns 1
knew how, requested the editor to giro it nn
insertion, that the same elass of readers might
eoe it, that saw ths other. Thinking tho request
eo reasonable that uo editor, however bliudod
by party prqjudioe, who had any character for
fair dealing oould olyucL I have waited two
issuee of that paper to set myself sot right
before the public. hut it has not appeared. 1
I am therefore driven to the conclusion that be
and the party the* owes him arc afraid of truth.
Neitaer Mr. Ball or Bagwell were members of
No. 132. Ncr did Mr. Bagwell ever apply to
foe Connell where he held his membership,
or to tho prosidiag officer for withdrawal. Mr.
Ball did apply, and was told the Counoil never
refusod to grant n dismission to any one, that
there wonld be ae objection in his case, proba
bly he thought a Council meeting was necessary
to give him a discharge. The Southerner is
informed that Mr. J. G. New, for whom he
made intercession, is discharged from all obli
gations uf the order, 1 without an application for
withdrawal, and still dings to the party and its
principles. Respectfully,
EX. PRES. ARM UCHEE, COUNCIL.
Armttcbbb Council, Sept. 15th, 1855.
Tbe Conueil meet according to appointment,
when the following preamble and resolutions
were read and unanimously adopted.
Whereas, the time has arrived when Council
meetings, signs grips and passwords, or any
other secrecy connected with the order is of no
fottberuse,
And whereas, we deem them a olog to tbe
wheal of onr political chariot, be it therefore
Ettoleed, That we do hereby abolish all the
secrecy and obligations heretofore connected
with tbe order.
Eetolted, That we the members of this
Council are weary of obligations that bind us,
and we hereby declare that each, by the con
sent of foe others, are in good foith discharged
from all the obligations the order has imposed
upon us, and that wc will resolve ourselves into
a party upon the same bus s of other political
parties.
Eetolted, That we believe in the principles
of the party, that they are reasonable, sound,
patriotio and constitutional.
Eetolted, That the charter under which we
have held onr council meetings is of no further
use, we deem it our duty to return tbe same to
the grand president from whence it eminated.
Eetolted, That tbe proceedings of this mee-
f lC <r be published in tbe Roue Courier.

Orders for America Bteadltcffs.—Tbe
London Shipping Gasette of the 14th nit says,
at tbe eloee of ao article on tbe grain trade :
“Ail eyes are now directed to America. Twelve
French buyers went out by last week’s steamer,
and targe orders have gone from England for
breadstuff*, so that wo shall soon know whether
the boasting accounts of their crop can be sus
tained.” Cotton heretofore has been sole king,
and the world has been forced to respect tbe
power that clothed it. But the Russian war, it
appears, baa placed Enrope under still deeper
subjection* to ns, and wheat is becoming not
less important thm cotton in maintaining the
power of the United States over foreign nations.
Tbe present European war, it appears, will turn
largely to the interests of American agriculture;
onr formers, we igagine, will reap tbe greatest
part of the profits accruing from the straggle
Mexico—It wonld seem that tbe flight of
Ssota Anna having relieved Mexioo of the
curse of despotism against which its patriots
took up arms, no cause remained for farther
strife. That all who desired the prosperity of
tbe country could bare united in measures to
restore to it, peace and tbe blessing of rational
freedom. But tbe signs are that tbe removal of
Santa Anna, has only prepared the way for a
ptraggle between numbers of aspirants for bis
place. Alvsres De la Llsve, Haro y Tamsriz,
Vidaorf, and La Vega, each represents a feetion
and is snpported by an armed fore#. Tbe Lira-
tenant of Alvarsy bss already defeated a body
of his countrymen with severe loss and surren
dered tbe city of Zepatlan to pillage. Selfish
ness ambition and rancorous hatred seem to
sway unbridled, the actions of tbe leaders and
tbe people brutal ignorant and demoralised
follow them without reason and without reflec
tion. Amidst tbe warning passions and appe
tites which desolate our unhappy neighbor, not
a Sign can be discearned of tl-e restoration of
peace, ot the establishment of an enlightened
and just Gorefnmem—Sar. Courier.

The Fafl of Sevastopol -The Result.
Two steamers, the America and Washington,
following ono close upon the other, brought tbe
announcement of the fell of Sevastopol—tbe
moat important event of modern times, in tbe
history of foe world, in whatever light the
present gigantio struggle may be viewed. The
Russians, as remarks the Baltimure Patriot,
beaten by foe alow operations of a prolonged
seiged from defence of morel, yet marterly con-
atraction. are driven, either to *ry the it-sue of
a hopeless battle on tbe plains of the Crimea,
or to retire upon Baktebi-Saral, and thence
through tho ontlet of Pcrekep. We say a
hopeless battle, beeause’we feel satisfied, after
their failures at Ralsklava, at tbe Alma, and
along tbe lines of the Tchermaya, when confi
dence inspired their courage, and the defences
of Sevastopol bade defiance to the leaguer, tb y
cannot now oxpect to gain a signal victory on
the steppes of the Tauric Cbersonesus ..and
though it would seem, frum tbe tenor of the
latest despatches, that they still retain posses
sion of the strong forts which protect the
northern shoes of the harbor of Sebastoeol, it
is not probable that they regard that position
as at all tenable, now that tbe Allies can turn
upon it the immense weigJt of the captured
guns, in combination with their own. Failing,
then, to hold the northern forts, and dispirited
by their recent losses, by their expulsion from
the city they had so long so nobly defended;
deficient, as it is believed, in their commUsa- *
riat, with no ontlet by which they can return
to Russia except tbe narrow isthmus of Pere-
kop; with tbe possibility that tbe Allied fleets
will shortly land an army in their rear, these
devoted soldiers of the Russian Empire have
but little prospect befo e them,'except a brave
death or an unberoie, though not dishonorable
capitulation. There are those who ask what
end is accomplished by the fall of Sevastopol?
We answer, all that tbe Allied powers could
desire, and all that Russia, putting forth tbe
whole might of ber Empire, strove to avoid—
foe annihilation of tbe Muscovite power on the
Black sea; the releaso of Turkey from impend
ing destruction; the restoration of the Cauca
sian tribe to that perfect liberty they have
struggled so long to retain; the relcnse of the
Turkish principalities from a protectorate which
was gradually changing into a sovereignty; the
free navigation of the Danube: the contrac
tion of the Russian Empire to the South within
boundaries not easily overstepped, and toe des
truction, for many rears yet to come, of all
hope of Russian progress as a maritime power.
Bnktebi-Sarai, the point upon which some
of tbe French journals suppose Gortscnkoff will
retreat, is a town of some 13,000 inhabitants,
situated 60 miles south of Pereknp, in a long
deep valley, between two mountains. When
Crimea wasunder the rale of the Tartar Khars,
Baktchi-Sarai was its capitol. —Exchange.
Arnold a*d Americanism.—Tbe organs of
the foreign party are publishing Benedict Ar
nold’s letters, justifying bis traitorous course to
bis country.. It is done to disgrace the Ameri
can name—to bold up, in the face of Americans,
reproach to themselves—to show them that for
eigners are better Americans than themselves!
Americans detest tbe name of Arnold, and
therefore it is rarely that this name is mention
ed. Yet we see foreign presses continually par
ading his name before onr people. Look at Ar-
nold! see that American traitor! What confi
dence is to be plnced in Americans ?
These papers think that foreigners are the on
iy patriots in America, aod that American will
be roisraled unless foreigners have the ruling of
it.—Red River Republican, 8th ult.
This is severe but it is true. The whole an
ti-American press, whenever they alludo to tbe
American Revolution, are sure to cite the nnmo
of Arnold the traitor and to dwell exultingly
upon tbe feettbathe was American-born. They
tell ns that no foreigner could be base enough
to turn traitor to tbe American cause—that such
baseness could beonljof American growth.—
They would have tbe world believe that treason
is too abominable a plant to be tbe production
of any other son than that of tbe United 8tntes.
Those presses lay everything upon the native-
born eitisens of America and upon tbe Prates*
rel^on, If riuU ooeor io any part of our
county, we are sure to be told that tbe foreign-
bora population bad nothing to do with them—
that tbe rioters are all natives of our own soil
and Protestants. If an abolition outrage is at
tempted in any section oftbe Repnblie we bave
it constantly rang in our ear* that the offendera
are all native and Protestants—that there is not
a solitary foreigner or Roman Catholic among
them. If we bellevei tbe Sag Nicbt edi
tors, we shoold be foroed into the humiliating
eonvicrlon'tbat America and tbe Protestant reli
gion are fit only to produce treason-abolitionisro,
outrages and crimes of all descriptions, and that
we are saved as a nation from temporal and
eternal perdition only by the constant influx of
tbe vast tide of foreign immigration and by tbe
purifying influences of Popery.

Mr. Jones:—Pear Sir—This evening I re
ceived your paper of yesterday, and see you
have published my letter of the 21st inst, in
relation to tho sale of car* belonging to the
State Rond; nud seeing nn article in the Atlan
ta Intelligencer of tho eatne date, giving a dif
ferent version of the matter, I immediately
saw Judge R. M. Hooke nud hud him critically
to read my letter ns published by you; rutd in
the pretence »f Dr. Milo Smith, o highly res-
portable »nd esiimalbls citizicn of this nlaoe,
(whose Certificate I send you,) he atsursa me /
had not mierepreeeuted him in a sin le praticu-
lur, except that the ears sold were “platform
and stock ears,” instead of “6w" cars, and some
error, to tho best of his recollection, in regard
to the date of tho sale. I did not write yon
for publicatlun, but have no regrets that you
have done so, and give you liberty to uso this,
with the certificate of Dr. Smith, if it will aid
to sustain the truth and facts as they did tren
spire here. Respectfully, Ac.

Dr Milo Smith.—Dear Sir: as you were pre,
rented Judge R. M. Hooke, the Chronicle A
Setinel having in it my letter in regard to the
sale of the Cara of the State Road, and heard
him read the'same, and my questions to him in
regard to its correctness, ns I had therein stated,
I will be obliged if you will give Judge Hooke’s
reply, when I asked him if I had in any wise
misrepresented bitu in that letter.
Your reply by the bearer will oblige, very
reepectfolly, Ac. H. W. Massengale.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 27. 1755.
JudgeMas&engnle.—Dear Sir: Your note of
this evening is before me, and in reply, answer
that I was persent this evening and heard Judge
Hooke say to you, that your statements to Mr.
J. W. Jones were substantially correct—that
he tone not the agent of any one, that he bor
rowed the money from E. G. Pearl, the cashier
of the Union Bank to ray for the cars, and that
after the tale ho agreed to let tbe State have
them baok, upon their paying Pearl the amount
he (Hooke) bad borrowed to pay for them with;
that it was true, that Mr. Welch had said to
him about tbe time he (Welch) was leaving
for Marietta, that it was possible that the cars
wonld be sold, and that he wished Hooke not
to let them be sacrificed, but did not make any
agreement with him whatever about the matter.
Very respectfully

Yellow (ever in Hotgomery.
We clip the following fiom tbe Montgomery
Maii—which indicate that this awful scourge,
has prevailed to a less extent than was feared.
No New Cases—No Deaths. It wi 1 ! be grat
ifying to those of onr citizens who are occu
pying unenviable positions in the country, for
the want of the conveniences to which they *
have been accustomed, to learn that tbe fever
is ncrly gone. This cold weather has com- ;
pletely neutralized it. No row cases and no
deaths are reported for tho lust 24 hours. Those
of our physicians who have steadily maintain
ed that we have had no yellow fever, are much
eluted at the present appearance of things.
We would advise our absent friends to stay
away until a change in the weather, which will
decide the queston-
We hear of many of our' absentees who are
living in old untenantable bouses, and of some
who are camping out. It is questionable whe
ther more disease will not be contracted un
der !<uch circumstance, than would have been
bad they remained in Montgomery. Pneumo
nia does not produce death quite as rapidly but
almost as certainly as our present fever. Below
is the report of the Board of Health:
Office Board of Health, )
Oct. 3, 1855.—6 o'clock, p. in. j
The Board report no case of yellow fever,
and no death, for the last 24 hours—leaving 32
cases and 9 deaths, trom the first report on the
25tb ult., to date.
The cases of sickness are only reported as they
develop themselves to be yellow fever. The
date of theit occurrence is a mutter of no mo
ment.
At present, circumstances are favorable for a
return of health.
The community are requested to place
no reliance upon outside reports.
^Sy-Pbysicinna are requested to leave tbeir
reports at the several drug stores.

Americanism in Ohio*—The Anti-American !
organs io tbe South have endeavored to make ,
the Impression thrttbe American party in Ohio j
is or was in league with the Abolition Party, j
Tbe following extract from the introductory ar- ;
tide of the “Coiupaign American,” a new paper !
published at Portsmouth, Scioto county, Ohio, !
indicates the proud po.ition, the complete nn- j
tionnlity, of the American party in that State :
We are a member of the so-called Order of I
Know Nothings, and belle -o that the principles
they originully started with were as pure and
good as those of any society ever organised
within our government—breathing tbe same
spirit breathed by a Washington, Madison Jef-
tersun, Jackson, and Clay. But when we see
this feeling, which actuates all true p triots,
attempted to bo subverted, and used by a set of
designing politicians to elevate a faction of ul
tra sectionalist and disunionists to power, we
as an bumble American, shall ever enter a sol
emn protest. Wo consider Americanism para
mount to Abolitionism. Locofoeoisui, and fore-
ignism (Mr. Chase’s treble position,) or any
?tb?r ism we have over heard of.
Prospects of the American Party.—The
New Orleans Crescent in an article on tbe proa
peels of the Amerioan party uses tho following
empbatio and ebeering language:
After a careful survey of tbe whole field of
battle, fr»m tbe Mississippi on the east to the
Texas boundary on the west, and from the Gulf
to the Arkansas line, we have o<unc to tbe con
clusion that tbe prospects of the American Or
der are of the brightest imaginable character;
that every indication is cheering; and that all
' signs betoken a magnificent triumph in Novem-
. ber. Tbe more we refleot over this matter tbe
stronger become our conviction. The oftener
we look at the data in our possession—gathered
from the best of sources and from all quarters
, the sorer are we that our calculations are well
founded. Were the election to came off oa
Monday next, we nro well convinced that the
American party would carry the State by a ma-

hope tbe Abolitionists will be merciful and spare

“Passengers are arrivtngin daily for Kansas,
