Know Nolhingism is Civil War. The Atlanta Intelligmcer* gives the following mel uocholy uccount of a Know Nothing mass meetiug re cently held at Cartefsvillo, Ga.: We call again upon the people of Georgia to l# warned in time and to mark well that Know Notbingism is civil irai ’ **,'T** a l J ghted Irom the ears the very first sight iliat arrested oui attention was a man stabbed and dripping with gore § hcfrrid sight. With our own'eyes, while wait ing it>r the departure of our train, we saw five rencounters, and we were tOid by one well posted on the combats of the day that there were at least twenty fight 9 in Cartersviile \\ edneiday. A poor old fellow j who sang out that he was a <b Democrat, got his *a blow on the head and was walked over for lour hours by the crowd like a dead dog. YY'e saw twy men leap from a door, one literal ly wealing a mask oi blood, and the other with the top of ins head apparently knocked ir>. Ln an instant a pistol fired and down dropped a Herculean frame*as dead apparently as powder and lead could make any living flesh, vve have seen much of our country in all the phases of our society, from the Roanoke to the Brazfos, but never before have we witnessed such rage,such panting fora chance to do evil, such lawless and uncurbed outrages on the peace and lives of men as we witne YVednesday. Men with guns, mon with drawn sicurds, with side arms, with blugdeons, seemed to be possessed by the demon of slaughter and to ; be raving mad in their pursuit after blood. Dr. Miller ask- j ed from the stand, why was nil this violence in these latter ; days? and he seemed to wish to turn it to account for his J party. Xitfl blame is not with any old political organize- : tion that exists now, or ever did exist in this country be- ; fore. But it springs directly from this unholy war on men simply Irecause they dare to vote their own way and from ! this crusade against a religion that thousands of American | citizens profess. It all comes front the palpable, stunning ! fact, that Know Nothing ism is civil war. Savannah River Valley Railroad. —A convention of the stockholders of this road was held in Edgefield l last week, at which a proposition was made by the Au- i gusta delegates to subscribe $500,000 to the stock of the j company, and to furnish a graded road bed, along the j Augusta Canal to Dull Sluice, on condition that the hue I of road should cross the oavanati river, at or ab6ve Bull : Sluice, aud that there should be no connection with the j S.C. Railroad, at any point without the limits of Au gusta, 6c. —which proposition was rejected by the con vention, uho afterwards resolved that the surveys and location should be continued, and pledges were given that ihe present subscription to the stock should bo doubled ; and the road built any how. Whom do you Hid there after you get in ? —Many j Many Democrats are inveigled into the Know Nothing j order expecting to fiud its membeship composed of the honest politicians and patriotic men, who love their eouU’ l try, and sincerely want to inculcate political virture and j elevate the standard qualifications for official stations. We want simply to enquire of these credulous Democrats . what kind of men they find directing the affairs of ihe ! secret oath bound inquistorial oligarchy, alter they get in- | to it ? Are they not the same scheming demagogues, par ty hacks, and political gamblers, who have figured in all the conventions and caucuses of either party for years ? ■ By what process have they been changed into honest and patriotic politicians ?—Rome Southerner. Florida Railroad. Survey. —A correspondent of the Alligator Advertiser, under date of 31st duly, writes that the work of locating the Atlantic aud Gulf Central Rail road, is going on bravely and successfully. They had made a dietanoe.of 12£ miles at the time of his writing. Mr. L’Engle, the Chief, anticipated some delay in progress would occur at some of the large swamps they were about approaching, and also at the St. Mary’s River, as he would perhaps iiad it necessary to run several experimen tal lines at. those points. Agribultural Professorship. —The Board of Visitors at the University of Virginia, have signified to the com mittee ol the State Agricultural Society, their willingness to enter into an engagement for ihe endowment ot‘ an Agricultural Professorship at the University. The Know Nothings of New Jersey. — Trenton, August 1. —The State Council of Know Nothings met here to-day, 150 members being present. J. Y\'. Lyons, presided. After a lengthy discussion, resolutions were adopted protesting againt the twelfth section (slavery) of the Philadelphia platform, as not being a part of Ameri can principles. They also protested against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Murray County.—We have cheering accounts from Murray County. Judge Lumpkin addressed a large concourse of people at Spring Place on Saturday last, and acquitted himself successfully. Good authority states that the Know Nothings have never numbered over two hundred in Murray. If the Democracy and unseduced Whigs will but stand firmly and patriotically by their principles and country, they will annihilate the secret, oath-bound political conclave in that county. We urge upon our friends there to be watchful and active. Push on the column and pour a little more grape into our po litical enemies, and wo will rout them horse, foot and dragoons. —Rome Southerner. Dr? Way land. —We learn from the Providence Journal that Dr. Wayland lias resigned the Presidency of Brown University. He lias filled the office since 1827. The Prohibition Cause. —The Prohibitionists are to hold a mass meeting at Atlanta on the 22d inst. Able speakers fwm different counties of the State.are expected to,be present, aud speak words of “Truth and Sober- U^SS.” In making this announcement, the proper organ of Mr. Overby expresses great indignation at the “baseless fabrication*” still going the rounds that the Prohibition candidate would not run the race out. It says Mr. Over by lias requested his friends everywhere to give the ru rnur an explicit denial. He has no such intention—nev er hid. He is nut of the tender-footed stock—-isn’t alraid of defeat in a good cause—he is a man and a pa triot, every inch of him.— Exchange. Death of Dr. J. C. Calhoun. —We regret to learu, ! says the Columbia Times, that Dr. John C. Calhoun, son I ot the late lion. J. C. Calhoun, died Tuesday morning j last, at the residence of Hon. J. 11. Rion, in Winnsboro, j where he had recently arrived trorn Florida, afflicted ; with that most insidious and deceptive enemy of man, i Consumption. His remains, accompanied by W. L. ‘ Calhoun, Esq., aud Maj. Rion, arrived in this city yes- •! terday afternoon by the Charlotte Road, destined to the j final resting place, Fort Hill, fc>. C., where the last sad ! duty ot burial will be performed at the family sepulchre. Charleston Mercury. Aisw Governor of Kansas. —Mr. Dawson, the new j Coventor of Kausas, was an elective member of the last Congress, and voted far the Nebraska Kansas bill. He is also kuown as a strenuous advocate of the policy of i giving homesteads to actual settlers and introduced a bill tor that purpose, which passed the House of Representa tives, but faded to obtain the sanction of the Senate. Hon .1 Miller. —This distinguished citizen of the old line whig school returning to his home in Augusta af* a short absence, found that he had been announced, with* out his consent, to address a meeting of the American (?) i 1 arty at Cartetsville ou the Ist inst The use of his name being wholly unauthorized, Mr. Miller has taken the lust opportunity to df&are that he has no connection j whatever with hie secret order, and that he agrees with j tne lion.

The repeal of the Missouri line was first proposed in Northern newspapers, was advocated by Northern men and passed by Northern votes. No Southern press sug gested or demanded it, till Northern statesmen had laid down the rule of national policy under which its repeal was demanded and effected. The effort of the editor of the Courier to make believe that “the South”—u mi nority of both Houses of Congress—brought about the abrogation of that mischievous sectional line drawn across toe face of the country, will be fru Hess. The honor (or infamy, if the Courier pleases,) belongs to the National Democracy of the North—to D-OUglaa? Cass, Dodge, and othtr Democrats. To them be'al! honor. The day will coine when those who sustained the repeal of that geo graphical boundary, drawn across our common country, will he fawned upon by the dernogogues who defame them now! —Netc York Daily News. Withdrawals Irom the Order m Pike County. We find, in the Empire State, cards of withdrawals from the Know Nothings signed hy A. M. Stokes and 10 others. They were member of Star Council No. 11, at Bartlesville, Ga. YY iTiiiiHAWALs from the Okder in Stkwart County. Stewart County, Ga., Aug. 4, 1855. The undersigned, citizens of Green Hill and vicinity, take occasion to State to the public that we were induced by insidious appeals to join the Know Nothing organiza tion. YY e were informed that there was nothing in the order which would interfere with our principles and that its object and tendency was to advance sound and conservative principles, and to put down demagogueiem. A fair trial of the order has satisfied us that no man who claims to be a freeman can be a Know Nothing, without a surrender of his rights and privileges. Know Nothingism is at war with the spirit of republicanism and virtually distroys the use of the ballot box. We have, for these reasons, withdrawn from the order, and earnestly warn our friends against being caught in a snare so dangerous to social and religious liberty.— Many of us have been denounced for withdrawing from the association, but we do not care for it: we ibteod to be freemen and do our duty as such.

Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge.—During a practice of more thtn twenty years, Dr, Me Lane had attended innumera ble patients afflicted with every lorm of worm disease, and was induced to applj all the energies ot his mind to the discov ery of a vermifuge, or worm destroyer, certain in its effects; the result of his labors is the American Worm Specific, now before the public, which is perfectly safe, and maybe given alike to childeu of the most tender age, or to the aged adult, it purges mildly and subdues lever,and destroys worms with invariable success. It is easy of administration, and as it does not contain mercury in any form whatever, no restrictions are necessary with regard to driuking cold water, nor is it ea pable of doing the least injury to the tenderest infant. An In credible nnmber of worms have been expelled by this great Vermifuge. Purchasers’will please be careful to ask for DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, andj take none else. All other Vermifuges, iu comparison, are worthless. Dr. M’Lanes gen uine Vermifuge, also |his Celebrated Liver Pills, can low be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States and i Canada. by ail the Druggists in Columbus, and by one agent in every town. aug~—wttwiw.

Beers & Cos., Gents:— Considerations of du- j ty to the afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of “Carter's Spanish Mixture.” for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula. Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into the particulars of the case, 1 can sav that the astonishing results that have been produced by the use of that medicine on a member of my own family, ard under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had been exhausted and all the usual remedies had failed, fully justify mein recommending its use to all wbomav be suffer ing from that dreadful malady. 1 do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions,or that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, <*f course, I know nothing about that—but irorn what l have seen of the ef fects, I would not hesitate to use it, in ary and every rare of Scrofula, with persons for whom 1 felt au interest, or over whom I could exercise influence or control.
