Tlic iLocofoco “Know Nothings.”
There ran be no question that the EagNitchls
or Say Nothings, the new secret Order at the
West among the German and Irish “Democrats,”
is now in full blast. The Ohio Journal says it
it is made up of the worst elements of our for
eign population and the demagouges who have
in past years found it so convenient to ride into
power by the foreign vote. It adds :
“There can now be no mistake as to the or
ganization of secret societies all over the country,
especially at the West, under the patronage of
the general government. In this State Gen.
Joel W. Wilson,of Tiffin, is the President ol the
order. We have the names of the officers of the
Grand Council, but only deem it necessary at
present to dwell on the general facts. At Wash
ington, the Postmaster General, a Roman Cath
olic, takes the concern under his patronage; and
a fellow named Jones, who is clerk at Washing
ton, is maintained at the expense of the people to
collate the correspondence and elaborate the
fsets gathered from different parts of the country
--a work he is qualified for if he can he kept so
ber and under control. He is placed at Wash
ington for reasons which will strike any one on a
moment’s consideration ; he there can be furnish
ed with printing, stationery and franks to any
extent.”
Growing Cucuiubitrs.
Wc clip tlic following from an exchange. We
have tried the same plan and proved its excel
lence.
Take a large barrel, or hogshead ; saw it in
two in the middle, and bury each half in the
ground even with the top. Then take a small
keg and bore a small hole in the bottom ; place
the keg in the center of the barrel, the top even
with the ground, and fill in barrel around the keg
with rich earth, suitable for the growth of cu
cumbers. Plant your seed midway between the
edges of the barrel and the keg, and make a kind
of arbor a foot or two high for the vines to run
on. When the ground becomes dry, pour water
on the keg in the evening—it will pass out at
the bottom of the keg into the barrel and rise lip
to the roots of the vines, and keep them moist
and greon. Cucumbers cultivated this way will
grow to a great size, as they aro made independ
ent both of drought and wet weather. In wet
weather the barrel can be covered, and in dry
the ground can be kept moist by pouring water
n the Jteg.
How to Mount a House A letter from an
officer on board the United States ship St. Mary’s t
dated at St. Mary’s Anchor, Peru, published in
the llurlington Free Press, gives a ludicrous de
scription of the'modeof horse. The
women do all the work, and the meniarc a good
for-nothing set of gamblers and thieves. The
women ride oil the hind quarters of their horses,
without a saddle, cross-legged, with the load on
the horso in front. They mount the animal by
taking hold of his long tail, making a loop by
doubling it up, and clasping with one hand tlic
upper and lower parts of the tail, and then put
ting one foot in the loop and the other foot on the
joints of the horse’s leg, they ascend as if going
up stairs. They usually stand erect on the horse,
before silting down. The horses never kick or
tir.
Canada Providing for War with thf. U.
Ftatks.—The militia act just passed by the Leg
islature of Canada, closes with these words:
“Provided that if at the time when this act
would otherwise expire, there should happen to
be war betweccn the United .States and her Maj.
esty.that this act shall continue in force until the
end of the session of the Provincial Parliament
next after the proclamation of peueo.”
Several of the Canadian journals, speculating
on the same text, think war not unlikely in the
event of trouble between the United Slates and
expatiate on the mischief the allied powers could
do Sy sending a Beefto cruise on the American
coast.

Ist. We shall advocatea repeal ofthe laws
of naturalization, or if that cannot be accomplish
ed, then sacli a modification of those laws, as
will prevent future immigrants from becoming
citizens, short of a residence of twenty-one years,
after taking the oath of allegiance to the United
States and of arjuratior of all other powers,
potentates, and princes.
2d. We shall advocate the passageof a strin
gent law by Congress to prevent the immigration
hither of foreigners, who are either paupers or
criminals, and to send back to the country from
which they came all such foreigners of these
classes as may, in violation of such law, hereaf
ter reach our ports; and to require the President
of the United States to demand from any govern
ment, which may send hither such classes of its
subjects. IMMEDIATE AND AMPLE SATISFACTION
for such outrage, and a proper indemnity
against the repetition thereof.
3d. We shall oppose the electron or appoint
ment of any foreign citizen to any office of trust,
or emolument, under the Federal or Slate gov
ernments, or the employment or enlistment of
such persons in the army or navy in time of
war ; maintaining, as we do the opinion, that
the native porn citizens of the United Slates
have the right to govern the land of their birth;
and that all immigrants from abroad should be
content with the enjoyment of life, liberty, and
property, under our institutions, without seeking
to participate in the enaction, administration, or
execution of our laws,
4th. We shall advocate and: nrge the adoption
of such an amended rotiM of an oath to sup
port the Constitution of the United States,
and to be administered to all persons elected or
appointed to any office of trust, honor,or emolu
ment, under the Federal or State governments,
as will effectually exclude from sneb offices all
persons, who shall not directly and explicitly
recognise the obligations and binding force of
the Constitution of the United States, as par
amount to all obligations of adhesion or allegi
ance to any foreign prince, power, potentate, or
authority, whatever, under any and all circum
stances.
6th. We shall maintain the doctrine that no
one of the States of this Union has the right to
admit to the enjoyment of free suffrage any
person of foreign birth, who has not been first
made a citizen of the United States, according
to the “uniform rule” of naturalization prescrib
ed by Congress, under the provisions of the con
stitution.
6th. We shall oppose now and hereafter, any
‘union or Church and State” no matter what
class of religionists shall seek to bring about such
‘union.
Till. We shall vigorously maintain the vested
rights of all persons of native nr foreign birth,
and shall at all times oppose the slightest inter
ference with such vcsteJ rights.
Bth. We shall oppose and protest against all
abridgments of religious liberty, holding it
as a cardinal maxim, that religious faith is a
question between each individual and his God,
and over which no political government or other
human power, can rightfully exercise any super
vision or control, at any time, in any place, or in
any form.
9th. We shall Os pose all “higher law” doc
trines by which the constitution is to be set at
naught, violated, or disregarded, whether by pol
ticians, by religionists, or by the adherents or
followers of either, or by any other class of per
sons.
10th. We shall maintain and defend the con
stitution as it stands, the Union as it exists, mid
the rights ol the States, without diminution as
guaranteed, thereby opposing at all times, and to
the extent of our ability and influence, all who
may assail them or either of them.
11th. We shall oppose no man, and sustain no
man, on the ground of his opposition to, or his
support of Democratic measures, or Whig
measures ; but we shall oppose those who op

For Sale at this Office.
Is now put up in the largest sized bottles, and is

cures it has performed, the original
copies of which are in the pos
session of the proprietor.
Remember this is
The only true and original article.
Scrofula, Syphilis, Mercurial complaints, Can
cer, Gangrene, Rheumatism, and a vast variety
of other diseases are speedily and perfectly cur
ed by the use of this medicine.
Read the following Certificate :
Tallapossa Cos., Ala., Jan. 2, 1855.
Dear Sir ;—I send you this to certify to you
that your Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsapa
rilla has performed one of the most wonderful
cures on me that has ever been effected on man.
I have been afflicted for forty years with erup
tions on my legs and feet; in 1848 they got so
bad that I had to go on crutches, and in 1849 I
had one leg amputated above the knee. In about
nine months after my other leg broke out in large
eating and running sores from my knee to my
foot, and discharged a great deal of offensive
matter. My groin also broke out in large biles
which discharged much offensive matter, and at
the same time my left hand broke out in large
running sores nearly to my elbow. The misery
that I have suffered lor the last twoyears I can
not describe to you. 1 was in such agony that
I never rested day or night.
In October la6t my son brought me one of your
bottle wrappers; I read it and found record of
some wonderful cures performed by your “Ex
tract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla.” I sent
and got two bottles of it, and commenced taking
it. In two weeks, to my great astonishment, my
sores all became easy, and I could sleep all night
—a thing I had not done for two years. When
I had taken six bottles, my sores had nearly all
healed. My sores got well as if by enchantment.
I have now used in all eight bottles of your “Ex
tract of Yellow Dock and Sapsaparilla,” and I
now consider mveelf well.
I entreat all of the afflicted to try this medicine
for I believe it will cure any known disease in the
world. Lay aside all prejudice and just try it
and proclaim its great worth to suffering mankind
and entreat them to take it for it will cure them.
My case is well known in a large portion of
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and if
any should doubt the above cure, I invite them to
call on me and I u ill show them the scars. I
can be found in Tallapossa Cos., Ala., one mile
from Stoe's Ferry. Renajah Hughes.
The Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla is peculiar
ly adapted for females of delicate health, result
ing from irregularity of menstrual discharges,
ane other diseases peculiar to their sex. The
proprietor lias in his possession a great number
of certificates of cures performed, of the above
description. We assure the afflicted, that a but
tle or two of Dr. Guysott’s Extract of yellow
Dock and Sarsaparilla will at once regulate those
difficulties and renew the natural energies.

SURVEYS.
HPHE Public are hereby notified that I hold
■*- myself in readiness at all times to attend
promptly,to the surveying es Lands in Dougherty
county.
The subject of re-surveying lands in this sec
tion of country deserves the serious attention of
all persons interested in that most valuable spe
cies of property—owing to the rapid and con
stantly iacreasing influx of emigration to onr
county and tb- consequent opening of woodland*
to rhe eerram- destruction of line trees and land
mirks generally. In connection wi'h this sub.
ject, I would respectfully call the attention of my
fellow, citizens to the fact that no person, not even
the owner, is authorized to mark or indicate any
land lines without the presence and concurrence
of the County Surveyor.
I shall in all cases in my charges adhere to lh*
fee bill as laid down in Princes Digest and
Cobb’s Analysis.
I am at all times to be found in Albany wh*a
not engaged in discharging the duties of my of
fice. THOMAS G. WESTFALL,
County Surveyor, Dougherty.

or THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER
For the Year 1555.
FIRS T VOL UME.
T N issuing the prospectus of the twenty-first vol
umeof the Southern Literary Messenger, th*
proprietors Peg leave to assure the public that no
exertions will be remitted on their part to maintain
the high character of the work,and to challenge
the patronage of H who value sterling literary
merit. For twenty year* the Messenger has en
deavored to reflect faithfully the Southern mind,
while disdaining all narrow and sectional views,
and has been alonejainong the monthly periodical*
of America in defence of the peculiar institutions
of the Southern States. To this office it will
still be devoted, and will be prompt to repel as
saults upon the South, whether they come under
the specious garb of fiction as in “Uncle Tom’*
Cabin,” or in the direct form ofjanti-slavery pam
phlets. At this critical juncture, while our en
emies are employing literature as their moat po
tent weapon of attack, the southern people will
surely not withhold their encouragement from a
work whose aim it shall be to strike blows in ihtir
defence.
Tne Messenger, will as heretofore, present it*
readers with Reviews, Historical and Biograph
ical Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays,
Poems, Critiques, and papers on the Army, Navy
and other national subjects.
With a view to ensure a large circulation of
the Messenger, the proprietors have made a re
duction in the price of subscription which is now
only Three Dollars per annum in advanc*, or
Four Dollars if not paid before the first of July
in any year. Clubs remitting us fifteen dol
lars in one letter, will be entitled to six copies.
The editorial and critical department of tb*
Messenger will continue as heretofore under tb*
charge of
Joint R. Thompson, Esq.
And will embrace copious notes on current liter
ature and reviews of all new American or For
eign works of general interest and value. Th*
editor's opinions will be always fearlessly and
honestly avowed.
The business department will be conducted by
the undersigned, to whom all communication* of
a business nature must be addressed.
MACFARLANE,FERGUSSON is. CO.

NOTICE TO LANDHOLDERS.
