in the meantime, I pray them*to he assured that I

which they have a right to know. I will deal frank
, j - and justly with them, and they, I feel confident,
' i 5, 1 " '^ oa * "’’tk me in the same reasonable spirit’
I 1 hen be it known to thetn, that I have beheld the
face of that mysterious personage called “Sam;”
1 that I was introduced to him at the town of Rich
mond, the place of my residence, with all the forms
, and ceremonies of liis Order. This, however, 1
submitted to, partly to gratify the wishes and ur
, £> ( ‘ nI solicitations of many “old friends,” Whigs
and Democrats, hut chiefly to ascertain the real
: principles, aims and objects of that singularlyyvou
. derful organization, to the end that I might pas
upon their merits and demerits intelligently; for,
as it was there, if not now, no one could learn any
thing authoritatively of its principles unless fie
: submitted himself to the ordeai of initiation. Be
fore taking this initiative step, however, I received
the most emphatic assurance that if I should he
displeased with the Order and its tenets f would be
at liberty to withdraw at any tune in peace, and
without being followed with censure and abuse, as
I have by the members of that association. Un
demanding, then, the structure, the machinery,
principles, aims and objects of that organization,
and believing in mv heart that they were in the
main violative of the spirit, at least, ot the Consti
tution of the United States, at variance with the
elementary principles of the Republic, and in con
travention of the spirit and genius of the institu
tions of the country, I, on or about the 10th day of
July. ]SSo, ordered my name to be stricken from
the rolls, and thus terminated mv association with
the Know Nothing organization forever, never hav
ing been inside of a Know Nothing lodge but twice.
Nor have 1 since had any reason to doubt the pro
priety of that act, hut on the contrary, everything
to strengthen and confirm me in the "convictions of
the correctness of that action.
For, superadded to the reasons already indica
ted, it is most manifest that the Know Nothing par- ;
tv, dividing on the great absorbing question of!
the day—that of slavery -and with which I veriK !
believe is bound up the peace and preservation ot
the Union, constitutes and presents to the countrt
to-dav two parties purely sectional—one South anil
the other North of “Mason and Dixon’s line.”
And, consequently, as I believe from the depths of ’
inv soul, that the southern section of that party,
if powerful at all, only for evil to the country, bv
dividing the strength of the South, and partic
ularly in the next presidential election, thereby
multiplying the chances of the success of th.
“Black Republican” party —and that, too, in tin- .
full view of the appalling" fact, that, if that party
succeeds, the Union is gone, and with it the hope’s !
' f mankind the world over—then I appeal to m\
fellow-citizens throughout the country to take n’>
stand with a sectional party; and particularly do
I conjure the “old line" Whigs, the disciples of
Clay and of Webster, to prove themselves true to
the teachings of those immortal patriots. Do thev
want encouragement? If they do, let them hear'
the words of their own loved, venerated Clay at
! exington in 1 Son, anticipating the ruin of the
Whig party as a national organization. Iu sub- !
stance lie said : Whenever the Whig party shall
become merged into a miserable sectional, Aboli
tion party, I will renounce it forever, and in future
act with the parly, regardless of its name, which
stands by the Constitution and the Union I Now,
there can be no doubt of the fact, that the Demo
cratic party is national, and I assert mv conviction
to be, that it is the only party in America that can
overthrow Abolitionism, uphold the Constitution
. and the Union, and that it will do so if nil trulv
national patriots will unsheath their swords and
tally under its ample banner, with the high resolve
to c. nquer, or to fall all gloriously on the field ot
strife.
Now, l frankly acknowledge that I otiose my
path wi'h slow, reluctant steps, and cast “ many a
long and lingering look behind.” I labored long
to reconcile the principles of the Know Nothing
party with mv convictions of public policy ami
public justice, because I found they had been em
braced by nearly all mv old political friends—bv
men whoso friendship 1 highly prized, and whos“
support I had received on more than one well-con
tested field ; and the alternative was at length
forced upon me of sacrificing my convictions or
mv associations. I chose the latter, of course,
conscious that obloquy would track my steps for a
season, hut also conscious that I should fina refuge
in the citadel <>f the faithful public servant —“ tiie
sober second thought of the people.”
Finally, I am here as a member of the American
Congress, by the unconstrained will and free choice
of the people of my district; and if, in their de
liberate opinion, i have fallen short of my dutv,
proven false to them and to the country, and, con
sequently, that I should retire, if to the more hum
ble, certainly to me the more congenial, walks of
private life, i where, from the beginning, hadij!
consulted my own. as well as the happiness ol
, those hound up with me in the most sacred rehv
tions of life, 1 should have remained,) 1 am now,
and shall continue, ready to bow unmurmuring!/
to their sovereign authority—maintaining, how
ever, to the very last, the justice of my cause, the
propriety and patriotism of my conduct.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. Ouvsn.
The Old Lino Whigs.
The noble, patriotic stand taken at the present
political crisis by so many of the most dstinguish
ed and influential members of the old-line Whig
party, has rot only called forth the warmest ex- ■
pressions of admiration and respect from the
Democratic press, but it has inspired throughout
the Uaion a feeling of confidence in their love of
country and abiding devotion to its true interests
which cannot for a moment be weakened by a re- j
collection of past differences of opinion in regard
to the merits of men or the expediency of meas
ures. As an evidence of this state of feeling, wo
make room for the subjoined resolution, which
was unanimously adopted at a large and enthusias
tic Democratic meeting held in Lawrence county,
Arkansas, on the first of March last:
“ Besot >;ed, That the old-line Whigs of Lawrence
county, who are actuated with the same principles
of Stephens and Toombs, of Georgia, Jones, of
Tennessee, Dixon, of Kentucky, James B. Clay,
son of the immortal Henry Clay, and u host of
other old-line Whigs, and who, like those patriots,
step upon the great Democratic platform and make ,
war upon Know Nothingisru, he invited to partici
pate in this and all other Democratic Conventions :
held in tiie county, and that we recognise them as
brother laborers in the great cause of human
rights."
The whole country are largely indebted to Hon.
.Samuel Carutli -rs, of Missouri, an old-line Whig for
merly, hut now hv profession and pactice a Demo
crat, for the bold, eloquent, and unanswerable let
ter addressed by him to his constituents on the
abolition Know'Nothing questions.

SiNort.Aß Bottlk Stories. C’apt Beecher, edi
tor of the English Nautical Magazine, has com
piled, within the last ten years, the following most
’ curious voyages of bottles, thrown into the sea by
unfortunate navigators: “ A good many bottles,
thrown into the s a next to the African coast,
found their wav to Europe. One bottle seems to
1 have anticipated the Austral I’anutna route, having
1 travelled from the Panama Isthmus to the Irish
■ rsst; another one crossed the Atlantic from the
- Canaries to Nova Scotia. Three or four bottles,
thrown into the sea hv Greenland mariners on the
’ Davis Strait, landed on the North-west coast of Ire
' laud. Another one made a very curious trip: it
: swam from the riouth Atlantic ocean to the West
coast of Afi iea, passed Gibraltar, went, ulong the
Portuguese coasi, passed the Bay of Biscay, went
bv wav of France, passed Brest, and wai finally
picked up on Jersey Island; the direct line touches
at least all these places, and makes it more than i
probable thai it tiVok this route. One bottle was j
,mlv found as er sixteen years swimming, one after
fourteen, and two after ten years. A few only trav
elled snore than one year, and one only five days.
This hist was sent off bv the Captain of the Race- i
horse, on the 17th April, in the Oarribean sea, and
was found on the dtld, after having gone through
three doorees of longitude in a westward direction,
('apt. McClure, of the Investigator, well known
sin.-c his discoverv of the North-west Strait, threw
a bottle into the sea in 1850, on his way to Behring
S'rait. It swam three thousand six hundred miles
in two hundred and six days, and was picked up
on the Honduras coast. - ’
A -Turk like that of Capt. Beecher cannot fail to
throw some light on the different observations of
the current of the ocean.
On Saturday last, about twenty or thirty of the
“ most respectable ladies in Farmington—backed
up and protected by about three hundred men and ,
bovs - -turned out armed with suitable implements,
went to everv grog shop in the place, and emptied
out all the intoxicating drinks they could find;
which, from all that we could learn, was not a very
small quantity. One man locked up Ins groggety,
determined to keep them out; but finding them
resolute and unflinching, he finally unlocked it
attain to save them the trouble of breaking the
door in, then stood and watched them turn bis
liquors out; and when they had finished, he jump
ed upon the counter and proposed three cheers for
the ladies, after which he made them a short j
speech, and declared that he would never sell any
more intoxicating drinks ns long as he lived in

Its silken folds are rustling nigh,
And shall we stand as laggards by
In such an hour as this?
Sous of the Sunny South are we,
Our hot blood burns her wrongs to sea;
For Kansas then, and victory,
For she shall own our sway.
We’ve left our homes and loved ones dear.
But dew drops glitter there as clear.
And sunbeams warm ns well as here ;
Then hoi for Kansas ho!

What foe shall dare to dim its shrine,
Before her foot steps draw a line,
While yet a Southron lives r
Fling wide our banner to the sky,
Our “outpost” we’ll maintain or die,
And Buford is our rallying cry,
Our watchword, Kansas ho !
Real Life in Charlottesville.
j A correspondent of the Richmond Xationai
I American, in writing from Charlottesville, shows
how some of the citizens of that “gude tovvne”
I were recently “taken in ami done for,” in the fol- !
lowing communication :
About three months since a fashionable and ele
gantlv dressed lady might have been seen at the j
Monticello House in our town. Soon after her ar
rival in our midst, she sent for a relation of hers j
who lives in the vicinity of Charlottesville, and j
forthwith discloses to him’that she was immensely j
rich ; that she was on a tour of pleasure, and was
going to New Orleans to spend the winter; that j
she would return to Virginia in the spring, and •
pass the summer at the springs. Sin: represented
! net sell as a widow, and perhaps is, having in com
pany her mother, an aged and rather infirm old la
dy, and a son ot some fourteen or fifteen years ot
age, whom she represented as being in delicate '
health. But, perhaps I should mention here, that ’
I some thirty years ago she left our town in compa
ny with her father, who was in indigent circum
stances, to seek their fortunes in Missouri. For
j tune smiled upon her, and her highest anticipa
tions were crowned with abundant success. She
was now very rich, and could only remain in town
; for a few days. Suffice it, without going into fur- j
; ther details, that her relation, glad to hear of her !
good fortune, insisted, and finally prevailed upon
her to go to his house.
Finding Charlottesville so much improved, bles
sed with a salubrious climate, and so well provided
with schools for the education of youth, she de
termined, on her son’s account, to forego the pleas
ure of passing the winter in New Orleans, and l«.
remain here. This point being settled, she must
keen house, and that, too, in a style becoming her
wealth and rank Completely deceiving her rela- !
tion as to her real condition ' -he thinking her ex
tremely rich—-it is not very surprising that a ru
mor was soon in every part of our town that she
was wealthy; and it is not to be wondered at that I
our merchants and mechanics should vie with each
other to secure the custom of this wealthy strati- ;
; ger. A few davs after she came to oitr town, she 1
called at one of our largest mercantile establish !
merits to examine the stock. Seeing a fine collar,
she asked the price of it. It was only $Io.
“Oh, 1 like that,” said site, and paid down the
amount.
Passing a day or two afterwards she stepped in ,
to take a look at the silks. She selected one at
#4O, because she “ liked” it, and again site paid
the money. This convinced the merchant that she
was rich; and when she called again, being anx
ious to secure so good a customer, he informed her
■ that it was not material about paying for such lit
tle things as she might want, and that he should
be most happy to have her make a bill with hint.
She did so ; and a snug little bill it i-.. This is an
isolated case ; but she was bv no inoanr partial,
; and gave all our merchants t chance to compete
for her custom.
During her stay here she lost no opportunity of
. representing herself as the mistress of two planta
tions —the one in Mississippi, the other in .Missou
ri ; and also that she owned, numerous houses and
lots in St. Louis. Some few confiding souls had
the kindness of heart to loan her money, and could
not doubt for a moment that her money would ar- ;
rive by Adams A Co.’s Express, as soon as naviga
tion was resumed. She made two trips to Wash
ington, to devise ways and means of disposing of
her property, in Mississippi particular!'.. In the
meantime, it is estimated that in the short space of
three months her liabilities were not short ot
13,000, a liberal, but by no means a very extrava
: gant amount for a lady of such immense fortune.
Finally, some of the merchants became a little
uneasy about her indebtedness, strange as it may
seem. The bills began to come in, and one per
son, whose debt was a little less than S'jo, was r
i guested to send the change and she w ould
#2O note. The change, amounting to several dol
lars, was sent, and that was the last that was heard
of the note. A deed followed this uneasy feeling
among the merchants and mechanics, and they all
got just nothing at all, or thereabout.
About daybreak, a few mornings ago, a lady |
closely nmiiled up with a cloak in deep disguise,
might be seen walking to the University depot to
await the arrival of the cars. On arriving at the
depot she called for a dork room, as she was suf
fering greatly from sore i yes. Thus she managed
to ntaku her escape.
It has been ascertained since she left that she
was perfectly insolvent. The lady calls herself
; Mrs. Hannah Ward.
; Some of our merchants feel themselves slightly
sold in the Ward ease, and 1 presume will he rath
er particular in the future how they vie with each
other to secure the custom of another wealthy
stranger.
Napoleon s Sword.— The sword won by Napo
leon Bonaparte at the battle of Marengo, Austria,
in 180 b, was purchased by the Emperor Nicholas
in 1850 — ; just half a century alter that eventful and
bloody battle—for the enormous sum of *ett>,ooo!
To Nicholas, a sword worn bv so distinguished a
soldier, in a battle that lasted fourteen hours—and
victory waved on each side four times in which
sixty pieces of cannon were alternately won and i
lost, and finally carried off by the French, possess
ed a value in his eyes that could not be estimated
in dollars and cents. It was purchased and placed
among other relies once possessed by Napoleon at
! different periods of his life, and collected by that
| distinguished Emperor. It is said that other rel
: ics, (diamonds, medals, and tokens of honor,) are
of great value, and mam have entered largely into
the motives of Louis Napoleon to war with his
Highness, the Autocrat ot Russia. Could he pus- ;
sess them by the achievement of a victory, be t
would doubtless feel that the inspiration of the
great captain, his uncle, had truly descended upon

for glory. —Buffalo Egress.

Augusta Market, April a, i p. >|.
COTTON'.—The past has been a busy week in
the Cotton trade ; and in consequence of the limit
ed quantity offering, prices have improved from %
to % cent, on all the grades. We now quote for
middling to strict middling 10%@10%; good mid
dling 10%m0% ; middling fair 10% ; and fair 11
1 cents. Prices are stiff, with an upward tendency.
The receipts of Cotton at Mobile have been rap-
I idly falling off for the past two weeks, and the
i strong probability is that the increase at New Or
leans for the week ending last Friday evening w ill
| not exceed TO, OO o or 15,000 bales over the same
time last year. At ail other ports, it appears that
j the highest point of the increase has been touched
and from this time forward a weekly decrease is
confidently predicted. The present prices demaud
i ed by holders, and the willingness of buyers to en
ter the market, are sustained, in a great measure
by the anticipated decline in receipts, as well as
the fact of the limited stock in Liverpool.
GROCERIES.—There has been but little doing
in heavy Groceries the past week. The stocks are j
ample, and we have no change to report in prices. !
We refer to our last weekly report for the prices. i
HEAVY DRY GOODS.—Home Factory Goods
have advanced in price. Osnaburgs may now be
! quoted at 10 cents.
READY-MADE CLOTHING.—Our dealers are
receiving large stocks of spring and summer goods,
and interior merchants are already among us mak
ing their purchases. We anticipate a very active
made in this department the present season.
BACON.—This is a season when there is much j
anxiety to know what will be the extent of Bacon
produced for consumption. From recent statistics
i 11 appears that, compared with last year, the in
crease of slaughtered hogs in the West is 572, 29 S
j head, or one-fourth greater than in 1854-’5. The
I supply of Bacon will consequently be much larger
than last year. But it should also be remembered
that the last year’s supply of Bacon was entirely
j exhausted, long before the present came into ntar
j ket, and that the high prices which prevailed, even i
f for the most inferior meat, checked consumption
| to the extent of hundreds oi thousands of pounds.
; •be present prospect ol an adequate supply is good,
j but there is little nope ot any reductiou in price.
! 1,1 ‘bis market the supply is light, and the demand
’ has been exceedingly good. For Tennessee meat
: '' A cents, hog round, is the price demanded. The
Tennessee meat is generally very fat and heavy
this year, and there is but. little that can bo used
! fl 'r family consumption. We have noticed some
well cured Western meat on the market, put up in
j water-tight hogsheads, which is selling from 9 to i
10 cents. Charles Davis & Co.’s Extra Sugar-cured
Canvass Hams, by the tierce, 15 cents.
CORN. -This commodity still sells at 60 cents
in lots to consumers, and retailing at 65 cents,
sacks included. By the wagon load, delivered, 60
’ cents.
PEAS.—In lota at 80 to 85 cents.
FLOUR.—City Mills from fs to $59. Country
brands from $7.50 to $8.50. The market is very \
quiet.
A HISK 1 she stock is ample and prices in- 1
dining downward. Common Western Rectified
SO cents.
SALT.—The supply is unusually large, and re
tailing at $1.40 cents sack.

was made at 98, before the dividend on yestenlav.

Thousands of certificates have been received

practice to fill the papers with certificates front uu
known persons, or given by those who have never

1.000 DOLLARS to any one who will prove that
ho ever published a false certificate during the
time he has bad his medicine before the public.
