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. Washington Union. 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 Farmington -Umlo* iJU.)

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 | him, and nothing short of the fame of the all ; conquering Alexander, would satisfy his ambition for glory. —Buffalo Egress.

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.
