I'he Know Nothings still defining their
Positions.
Me continue to publish portions of the interest
ing snd edifying debates, in the House of Represen
tatives, showing the variant and conflicting views
oi the Know Nothings upon fundamental articles
'fl their creed. Even the Southern Know Nothings
are at loggerheads on radical points. The Roman
Catholic proscription, which was so important a
feature in the Know Nothing programme during
the contests of last summer, is now a bone of con
tention which is dividing the harmonious fraterni
ty of Know Nothings south of Mason & Dixon’s
hue, and threatens to shiver into fragments the
Southern wing. With such a picture of distracted
councils, how is it possible for this organization to
effect any good for the country ? With all their ef
forts to tiud common ground for harmony ol
thought and action, the Know Nothings cannot
hold together the repellant fragments of their own
party How, then, can these Americans hope to
rule America? There are supposed to be about one
hundred and seventeen Know Nothings in Con
gress, all elected on the one agreed upon proposi
tion that "Americans should rule America,’’ though
disagreeing among themselves on the Catholic
question, and the celebrated Twelfth Resolution oi
their Philadelphia platform. Vet they cannot come
together upon any member of their Order, as fit to
be entrusted with the Speakership? What a com
mentary upon their proposition above quoted!
“ A house divided agaiust itself cannot stand."
V portion of ’he Virginia Know Nothings would
knock from under the edifice the twelfth Resolu
tion. This careens the ricketty concern in a North
ern direction, rendering it rather unsafe for South
ern politicians to dwell therein much longer. The
Louisiana Know Nothings and the Mobile District
of the Alabama fraternity are tugging manfully to
pull away the Roman Catholic proscription pillar
■ I the edifice. Mr. Smith, of Alabama, i* pressing
his back manfully on the other side of this pillar,
to keep it in its place, but with ali the Northern aid
which rallies to him, it begins to tremble and tot
ter. When these two pillars are gone, away goes
the house lira! Sam built. Tiie fraternity wilt
have to coine together, and star; a new edifice, from
the foundation, ou a more solid basis, and with
souuder materials.
The old Episcopal Church on Sixth street in
Washington city has been purchased by the Ro
man Catholics, and is to he placed under the
charge of Rev. J. B. Do.vki. vn.
It would scent that the Catholics are thriving
under persecution.
InrsutusT. —Reverend Usnuy Wkbd Bhbcubb in
his last letter in the New York Independent-, thus
gives his opinion upon farming upon borrowed
capital:
“ No blister draws sharper than “interest” does.
Os all industries, none is comparable to that of
interest. It works day and night, in fair weather
and in foul. It has no sound in its footsteps but
travels fast. It gnaws at man’s substance with
invisible teeth. It binds industry with its film, as
a tlv is bound upon a spider’s web. Debt rolls a
man over and over, binding him hand and foot
und letting him hang upon the fatal mesh until the
long legged interest devours him. There is no
crop that can afford to par interest money on a
farm. There is but one thing raised on a farm
ilke it, and that ts the Canadian thistle, which
swarms new plants every time you break its roots,
whose blossoms are prolific, and every flower the
father of a million seeds. Every leaf is an awl,
every branch a spear and every single plant is like
an armed host. The whole plant is a torment and
a vegetable curse. And yet a man had better
mako his bed of Canadian thistles, than attempt
to lia at ease uuon interest.

Millkdgevillk, Jan. 14,
Tha Sonata and House war-' compelled to adjourn
to-day, until to-morrow morning, without transact

dance in either House. The recent disagreeable
weather lias, for several days past, prevented the
regular connection of many of the railroad trains,
and so seriously impaired the roads and bridges ;.s
to reader staging impracticable, and in many places
impossible, hence the failure of members to arrive
at the appointed time. This evening's train brought
in near thirty ; more than half of whom have sped
p dav or two at away station, for the want of con
veyunce. With the number that will reach her
to-night, I presume an organization may beetFected

Wut Senator Hale hates President Pierce.
—A Washington letter gives the {billowing expla
nation of the bitter personal enmity of John P.
Hale, the Abolition leader in the Senate, towards
the President. The writer says :
Hale’s speech in the Senate in answer to the
President's imputations upon the motives of iho
minority of northern voters, produced a strong
impression. It was bitterly personal, but no man.
ha* had greater provocation ior invective than the
New Hampshire Senator, whose influence at
home w ith the Democratic party was crushed by
the efforts of Mr. Pierce. It is said that when
Hale, then a Democratic member of Congress,
stood out against the annexation of Texas, his
enemy rode sixty miles at night in a chaise, to
prevent the Democratic paper, of the follow
ing day, from taking sides with his insubordina
tion.

Paris Correspondence.
Pari.-. December 18 1855. —It is very evident
that all classes in this Empire are desirous of peace,
including the Emperor himself. It is required for
th» stability of every thing, the throne included.
Every body talks about peace, and it is the upper
most" thought at present in the minds of all !
French men. The press of this countrv, girdled
and restricted as it is, would not dare to write so
much on this subject were it not the earnest and
longing desire of the Government, llEmpire est
ia /Miij. It appears rather a paradox, but the fact
is that this war has confirmed those celebrated
words, for if victories do not follow each other as {
in the time of the great Nadoleon, LEmpire sera j
perdu , the fearful expenses, horrid waste of life, j
general distress throughout France from the cha- I
teau to the cottage—for all feel the expenses—the ‘
high price of food, and still higher prices antici
pated, the cry of the hungry and the unemployed,
and the depression of commerce and manufac
tures, all combined and acting upon the popula
tion, will, if continued, cause trouble in the Em- j
pire, and in 1556 may be one of the most memora- l
ble years of history.
That there is also distress in Russia, arising from I
the present war. there is no doubt; but it is on a
inncli more limited scale, and does not affect the
great mass ot the population, but is principally
confined to the foreign traders, the bankers, and
such as reside in the great cities, who are really
sufferers, and among them may be included the
wheat growers of the Danubian provinces. No na
tion has exhibited such devoted patriotism and
liberality. The voluntary gifts to the war are very
great, both in numbers and amount. A great iron
house, who might be supposed to he very heavy
sufferers by the war from the decrease of the for
eign exports, have voluntarily given the Emperor!
one million of dollars; a banking house in St. Pe
tersburg lias, in like manner, contributed seven
hundred thousand dollars; Demidoff’, the rich no
ble, contributes as a voluntary offering, besides his
regular taxes, three hundred thousand dollars per
annum whilst the war continues; whilst hun
dreds of thousands of others contribute with ;
equal liberality, according to their means ; and, if I
it should be necessary, the Greek church of Rus- •
sia, the richest in the world, would devote all its |
wealth in support of the war—the nobility equally j
so; and the very serf's would volunteer life and for
tune t many of them are very rich) for the Czar, re- i
ligion, and country. I n Russia, this is a national !
and religious war, and us such t\ ill be maintained j
by all classes to the most desperate extremity.
Tic Russian finances, thus far, are good and iu I
t healthv condition, and the general opinion is that ;
they will continue so, and that new loans can be
negotiated; and if such and other means were to
fail, the clergy, nobles, and rich men would come
forward promptly with their mighty resources.
The expenses of a Russian army are not half
those of tne French troops. Besides, they are car
rying on this war at home, and have not the im
mense drain of a foreign expenditure, and no fleet,
nor hundreds of transports and steamers lo main
tain, but only the army.
Nor has the trade and commerce of Russia suf
fered to the extent that the British press represents.
No greater proof of this need he required than an
xamination of the St. Petersburgh and Moscow
price currents, by which it will be seen that the
prices of Russian productions rule very nearly, and,
iu the most important items, quite as high as be
fore the war. Land transportation in Russia is
very cheap, and especially in winter on the snow,
when all supplies of colonial and other foreign
merchandise are rapidly transported in immense
quantities into and all over the Empire, and its
productions, in like manner, brought to the Prus
sian and other neutral ports for export in the spring
and summer. All the materials of war, as sulphur,
-altpetre, powder, arms, See., arc being constantly
sent into Russia by continued trains of Herman
wagons, or by sleds when the snow is on the
ground, which it is from November until April,
without intermission, in Russia and the territory
immediately adjoining her. Wheat, and that prin
cipally in the Southern provinces, is almost the
only article which is lower in price ; and while the
war has depressed that article in Russia, and given
cheaper bread to her subjects, it has had directly
the contrary effect in England and France, and the
high price of it is one of the most formidable ami
tlarming difficulties that are staring the two latter
Governments in the face.
Prussia and Sweden are profiting greatly by this
condition cf things, and many immense fortunes
are now making there. It should be, and no
doubt is, a great inducement for both of those na
tions to keep out of this war, to say nothing of
the fact that the capitals of both would most pro
bably, in such an event, he in possession of Russia
in a Very short period after hostilities wore com
menced.
Russia, under this war, is fostering her manu
facturers, and, if it continues a few years, from
being, after the United States, one of the best
customers of England, she will require but little of
her fabrics.
The Emperor Alexander is very popular, but he
has not the talems, decision, nor force of charac
ter of his father, the late Emperor, who, if he had
lived to conduct this war, would have been uni
versally admitted to be “a great man,” which he
really was. It is said that a few hours before his
death the chamber was cleared of every body but
the Empress and his son Alexander, when he spoke
of the war, which he called an unjust one. It was
on the above occasion that Alexander pledged him
self to his dying father never io make peace except
j on honorable and lofty terms, and that he would,
agreeably to his dvmg injunctions, support the re
ligion and honor of Russia.
This, i fear, is destined to be a fearful war, in
which all parties will suffer dreadfully—England
more than France, and both more than Russia. J
have no confidence in the peace rumors, unless the
Allies are willing to agree to terms which they
have heretofore rejected. One serious misfortune
in the field to the latter would probably result in
placing Austria, Prussia, and a large portion of
Germany on the side of Russia. From high au
thority f know their nobility and their armies are
almost exclusively in favor of Russia, and it is gen
erally believed, a large majority of their popula
tion. The Socialists, Red Republicans, and the
revolutionary spirits generally, are with the Allies,
as they believe that Lord Palmerston intends to
have a war of opinions, when such scum are
thrown to the surface and have a chance to rule.
Russia has recently made a loan, and though the
British papers notice it as a proof of her exhausted
condition that she had to go to Berlin to obtain
this loan, yet if the war continues, England her
self, as well as France, will have to knock at all
the doors of the Continent for the same purpose,
and even now the continental bankers are largely
interested in the French and English loans, though
nominally negotiated at London and Paris.
A member of Parliament told me very recently
that the next loan by England would be for twen
ty-five millions of pounds sterling, and France will
soon require another of nearly equal amount. Both
will be obtained without much difficulty, but fu
ture ones will depend very much on the events and
prospects of the war.
I see no reason to change nty previous views as
to the deficiency in the supply of breadstuff's, and
that France will require a foreign supply of from
twenty-five to thirty millions of bushels of wheat.
There is but little prospect that food of all kinds
will decline; certainly not materially until the
new harvest.
We have a great many Americans at present in
Paris, and the erv is “still they come.” The
gaiety of tin city has not yet fully commenced, nor
will it until after Christmas!. as the noblesse
are still at their chateaus.
A few evenings since I was at a small parly at
the hospitable mansion of our fellow-citizen, Mr.
Walsh, whose amiable and excellent wife receives
every Friday. 1 was highly gratified on this occa
sion in meeting our country woman, Mrs. May, and
her highly gifted daughters, particularly Miss Ju
liana, who, for the last three or four years, lias
been perfecting herself in music in Italy, and in
tends devoting herself to this fascinating profes
sion. She sang three or four times to the perfect
delight of all present. She has a'most powerful,
sweet, and perfectly well-toned voice, which has
been most exquisitely cultivated. Several distin
guished musical dilettanti were present, who could
scarcely believe that one not a native of Italy, and
especially that une idle sauvage of America, could
attain such perfection in the divine nrt. She will
certainlv deserve, and no doubt will receive, a dis
tinguished reception on her return to the United
States as a musical artiste.
We had the pleasure of inserting in a late num
ber of our paper, say s the National Intelligencer.

ceipt of your communication of the fitith instant,

Make my acknowledgements. I pray you, in suit- i
able terms, to vour Government for this honor, f
shall hasten to"lay vour communication, with the

tion as the organic law of the conntt v requires.
There is an open virtue in this exquisitely
wrought medal and a secret grace in tho beautiful
inscription upon it, which will cause it ever to be
regarded as a most precious memorial.
The seamen of the Republic of Bremen are re- ;

prise and intelligence ; than they none are better
judges of what tends to improve navigation or ben
efit commerce ; aud it will always he a lively source
of gratification to remember that it is the Senate ,

Who Walker Is.
Washington, Jan. 7, 1856.
W. D. Wallach, Esq.— Dear Sir: As your
readers hear a great deal in these “ latter days ”
about General William Walker, it may be well
enough to tell them wito ho is. 1 accordingly con
dense from a narrative furnished by an intimate
friend of Walker the following particulars, which,
if von choose, you may publish in the Star:
William Walker was born in Nashville, Tennes
see, and is now about thirty-three years old. His
father is James Walker, "Esq., a citizen of Nash
ville, of Scottish birth, and very much respected.
His mother was a Miss Norvell, an estimable lady,
front Kentucky. Walker, after quitting school iu
his native State—which he did with much credit
und honor—commenced the study of medicine iu
the University of Pennsylvania, where he gradu
ated.
He then went to Europe, entered ihe medical
schools of Paris as a student, received a diploma
there, and, after some time spent in travel, returned
to this country, went to Nashville, and commenced
the study and practice of the law. Walker is thus
both lawyer and physician. From Nashville lie
went to New Orleans, and was, for some time, edi
tor of tiie Orescent. In June, lbso, he went to San
Francisco, and became one of the editors of the
/Rrald. While in this position, an article appeared
in the Herald animadverting upon the judiciary, to
which exception was taken by Judge Parsons, of
the District Court, who forthwith summoned hint
before his court, and inflicted on the editor a tine
of SSOO. This Walker refused to pay, and was ac
cordingly imprisoned, but was subsequently dis
charged on a writ of habeas corpus, issued from the
Superior Court, which action was sustained hv the
Legislature at its next session. The next enter
prise in which Walker was engaged, was the fa
mous expedition to Sonora, with the disastrous re
sult of which your readers are as familiar as they
arc with his more recent history.
From the above, it may be seen that Walker is
of respectable family, intelligent, well-educated, a
regularly trained physician, and a graduate of one
of the best schools in America, lie is, besides, a
man of indomitable courage and perseverance.
When a student in Philadelphia, strange as it may
seem, lie was remarkable for his diffident and ever
taciturn manner and gentle disposition. In person,
he is rather under than above the medium height,
and was formerly of fair complexion, somewhat
freckled face, with light hair, grey eyes, and high
check bones. In giving the above particulars,
which refer mainly to points that are creditable to
him, it is not my purpose to palliate in any way
ilis tillibusteriug propensities. If.
