HIGH AUTHORITY AGAINST THE KNOW NOTHING
PARTY.
The Journal of Commerce, a highly
conservative Northefn paper, thus speaks
of the Know Nothing party. We com
mend its remarks to all true Southern
Union men.
“ With the single exception of the State
of New York, Know Nothingism in the
Northern and North Western States, has
only served as a watchword to unite the
anti-Democratic factions; and the com
pound is found to contain a more concen
trated virus of sectional fanaticism than
either of the simples which it is composed.
Ihe State where Know-Nothingisiu has
most co upktj'ly triumphed, is the State
which has most disgraced itself by Aboli
tion madness and rebellion How can it
be expected that the South will throw it
self into the embrace of such a. party.—
We did atone time hope, that Know-Noth
ingism would pour oil upon the troubled
waters of sectional strife —but we hope so
no longer. It has shown its cloven feet
too distinctly to be any longer trusted. —
If the country is to be saved from the
dangers which threaten it, the Democrat
ic party is doubtless the appointed medi
um. We are • t herefore not sorry, but
glad, to see old Virginia suceessfu.ly
breasting the tide which has already
swept over so large a portion of the coun
ty" ,
HEAR BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,
It is an unfortunate circumstance for
the Know Nothings that the testimony of
the fathers of the Republic is all ag inst
it. To that already published we add the
opinion of Benjamin Franklin. During
the discussions attending the formation oi
the constitution he said :
He should bo sorry to see any thing like
illibcrality inserted in the constitution
The people in Europe are friendly to this
country. Even in the countries with which
we have lately been at war, we have now
and had during the war, a great many
friends, not only among the people at large,
but in both houses of Parliament. In
(-6very other country in Europe all the peo
ple are our Triends. .We found in the
hour of revolution that many strangers
served us faithfully, and that many natives
took part against their country. When
foreigners, after looking about for some
other country in wh ! ch they can obtain
more happiness, give a preference to ours,
it is a proof of attachment which ought to
excite our confidence and affection.
Re-union of the New York Democ
racy.—A letter from New York says;—
The leading Democrats here say the de
feat of the Know-Nothings in Virginia
will have the effect to re-unite the Hard
and Soft-shell factions in this State, and
enable them to enter the next Presidential
campaign withan undivided fiont. There
is no difference of opinion with either in
regard to Sam, Both look upon him as a
very bad fellow. In thia reap-ct they
are unanimous—and, unanimous in one
thing it is argued, is likely to bring about
in due time unanimity in other things.
At any rate, arrangements hate bein
made for a grand Democratic jubilation in
the Park on Thursday night. A salute of
one hundred guns is to be ijred in the
Park, Tammany Hall is to bo illuminated,
and any quantity of transparencies illus
trative of the incidents of the “Campaign
in the Old Dominion," have been orde.ed.
Senator Gwin.—lt strikes us thai
there can be little doubt of the legality ot
the election of Mr. Gwin to the senate of
the United States from California. The
constitution of that state contains ayjrm
vision expressly providing thhMiPHective
offices shall be filled by a plurality vote,
if a majority vote is not obtained by either
candidate. In this casa Dr. Gwin has
received the plurality vote on repeated tri
als, but refrained from claiming his right
under the clause es his state constitution,
to which we refer above, in the hope that
by so doing he might heal the breach in
his party in the California legislature.—
As that result proves to be hopeless, it is
said that he intends to avail himself ot his
right under the law explained above *--

The Macon Citizen publishes a let
ter from Americus, giving an account of
the prospects of the crops in Southwes
tern Georgia. The author writes as fol
lows:
“Having recently travelled over several
counties below this point, I had an oppor
tunity of ascertaining the prospects of the
growing crops; and I was surprised at the
very flattering prospects of an abundant
harvest which are visible wherever I
have been. It is true there has not been
much rain, yet oom never looked better—
and as for cotton, unless something trans
pire to blight the present hopes of p'anters
the crop in this section of the State will !
bo an abundant one.”
A Jersey Max Commanding tn the
Crimea.—Major Burr Porter of Newark,
N. J., left that city some months since tc
join the Turkish Army in the contest wtth
Russia. The Newark Daily Advertis. r j
contains a letter from J Porter Brown
Esq., of the United States Legation at
Constantinople, dated April 3d, in which '
Mr. Brown states that Major Porter, is'
now serving in a regiment of the Sultan's
Cavalry, at Eupatoria. He is now a
Bin-bashi, Major ) though more correctly
a Lieutenant-Colonel, for be commands
one thousand men. Omar Pacha and Be

Mr. Browu, at Balaklava, in warm terms
of Major Porter, arid he is consideren one
of the bravest and most efficient of the for-;
eigner in the service of the Sultan.

from oaeau to ocean in 40 hours, including
stoppages.
The news from the interior of Central
America is somewhat important. Gen.

ly fortified at Leon, awaiting the arrival
of Col Walker who is reported to be on
his way from San Francisco with an arm
ed force on board a schooner. After his
arrival, hostilities, it is said, will com
m mce, and “bloody work is expected, as
‘hey are all desperate .men aud selected
for the occasion.”.
Many persons are at Grey town expiat

and are ready to join him. Lt issupposed
he will,immediately or. his arrival, proceed 1

Before Sevastopol, May 5 —My ■
Lord : Since I wrote to your Lordship on 1

arisen. The enemy still appear to be col- j
lecting troops upon the hi. h gnund on the j
opposite side of the Tchernaya, in the
neighborhood of Sevastopol, and convoys [
are constantly seen moving in that direc-1

'On the night of the Ist inst., the French
attacked a kind of counterguard which

successful, and the enemy were driven

nine small mortars. Our allies have re
mained in the work notwithstanding the
heavy fire to which they have been ex

therein, frustrating the efforts made by
their adversaries to dispossess them of it |

THE AMERICAN Ship THAT CARRIED ARMS TO .
RUSSIA.
■ The London papers have got hold of a ’
I curious story, to the effect that an Amer
icatt ship had reached Port Baltic, osten
s bly loaded with cotton, but in reality
having on board besides cotton, 50,00 U ‘
rifl.'s and 5,000 revolvers. The equanim
ity of the London Standard appears to be;
dirturbed by this story. On recurring to j
our tik-s, we find that the ship Samuel'
Appleton, Capt Doane, cleared at this
port February 22d, for the Baltic, by Cun- i
I uingham B,os. She had for passengers.:
| Arthur Cuntingham and Thos H. Has-!
■ sell, and In r manifest showed that she'
catried 804 bales of cotton. Letters re-'
: ceived by a previous steamer announced
the arrival of the Samuel Appleton at ■
Port Baltic, whence she would sail for'
Revel. This is undoubtedly the ship re-1
i fined to, but that she had arms on boa*d.!

SHE CHANGEDHER MIND.
j There are some persons who are never i
i sick without thinking themselves very'
j much worse off than they really are. Os!
! this class was Mrs. Ha-kins, a young nw
; ried lady, aud the mother of two fine boys, i
! On one occasion being visited with a fever. I
the consequence of imprudent exposure, j
I she gave herself up t> the melancholy fan-;
| ci. s which usually a -sailcd her and persua-
I ded herself that she was going to die.
! In consequence of this melancholy pre
l sentiment, she assumed so woe begone an
I apperanee that even b r medical attendant
i was startled into believing that she was
really much worse than from her symptoms
he had judged her to be.
Under these circumstances he advised ■
her to make what earthly preparations she !
had yet to make, while there was time yet
to do so.
Mrs. Haskins was an affectionate moth- i
er and the thought of parting from the |
‘ children to whom she was so warmly at- j
tached, at a time' when, more than any |
other, they needed her eare was peculiar- '
ly distressing.
“Their father will be kind to them no j
doubt and see that they are amply prqvi
i ded for, but nothing that be can do will I
! supply to them the loss of a mother.”
] Gradually the idea of a step-mother
I suggested itself to the lady’s imagination
' and such was her care for the happiness of;
her children, that she became reconciled
to an idea so repugnant to most wives, and
actually began to consider who among her
acquaintances was best fitted to become a
i second Mrs. Haskins.
At length her choice fell upon a Miss
Parker, an intimate friend of her own.—
Feeling anxious to have this matter satis
factorily settled, she despatched a mes
senger post baste for Miss Parker, who,
■I after a brief interval, made her appear
| ance at her friend’s bedside.
“My dear friend,” said Mrs Haskins in
a fee: 1c voice, “I have sent for you for
what perhaps you will consider a singular!
reason. But, believe mo, it is a mother’s!
anxiety for her children that prompts me. j
lam very sick, and shall not live long :
So the doctor tells me, and my own feel-'
ings tell me that it must be so The siU- f
ation in which I shall leave my poor boys, j
who will thus be deprived of a mother's i
watchful eare.distrcsses me beyond meas-;
ure. There is only one way in wbich my
I anxiety can be relieved, and this it is
; which has prompted me to send for you.
Promise me that when I am goqe you will
I marry Mr. Haskins, and be to them a sec
! ond mother. Do not refuse me ; it is my
! last request!”
! Desirous of comforting her friend, Miss '
i Parker assented to her request, adding: i
“I will comply with your request, and!
the more willingly, for I always liked Mr. I
i Haskins ” i
! '“AZtcfl^s liked Mr Haskins !" exclaimed
his dying wife, raising on her elbow, hei I
i feelings of conjugal jealousy for a moment;
j overpowering her maternal affection; ‘you i
; always liked my husband, did you! Then '
t :<• i
I I vow never marry him, if 1 ■
! have to live to prevent it.
And Mrs. Haskins did live. The re-.
vulsion of feeling resulting from Miss!
Parker’s unexpected declaration, accotn-'
plished, in her case, what the skill of;
physicians bad been tin able to effect |
There is an oid saying, which, like most
i old sayings, has in it not a little truth,;
! that wbt-n a woman wills, she will, depend i
i on’t, and when she won't she won’t, and •
! there’s an end on’t. So it was in he case |
!of Mrs. Haskins. She has determined |
that if Mr. Haskins ever does have a se
; cond wife, it shall not be Miss Parker
GEN. SCOTT—HIS APPEARANCE.
In passing down Twelfth street to-day,,
I met for the first time for many months.
Gen. Scott. Bo resides in a splendid
mansion in that strget, which he has pur
‘ chased since the tide of Lieutenant Gene-1
ral was g ven to him, with the salary add-1
; ed from the time of the war with Mexico t
j He grows old quite rapioly and the change!
■ in his appearance since the result of the'
campaign that elected Gen. Pi. ree is very I
: apparent. His lofty form is bowed down '
—bis elastic step has passed away—a look !
! of sadness and weariness has settled upon |
! those once expressive and decided features, j
Ho leads a very retired life—sees but lit
tle company—rarely appears in public, I
and usually walks alone. It is not possi-:
: ble to see Gen. Scott and not be struck
; with the tjutbfulness of Shakspeare’a as-!
‘ sertion “That there is a tide in the affairs
' of uien.’’
THE FINGER RING.
The idea of wearing rings on the fourth
finger of the left hand, because of a sup
;! posed artery there which went to th-
■ heart, was carried so far that, according!
• to Levinua Lemnius, this finger was call-
, ed Modicus, and the old physicians would
. stir up their tuadicanients and potions
. with it, because no vemon could stick
;■ upon the very utmost part of it but it
, would offend a man aud communicate i
itself to the h<art. * * * * It is ■
; said by Swiuburn and ethers that there-1
i fore it became tbe wedding finger. The
t , Priesthood kept up this idea by still keep
ing it as the wedding Anger; but it was
. gotat through the use of the Trinity, for'
f in the ancient ritual of English marriages
j the ring was placed by tbe husband on
j the top of the thumb es the lelt band,'
c with the words, ‘lu the name of the
Father;’ he then removed it to tbe fore-
5 finger, saying, ’ln the name of the Son;' ;
v ; and then to the middle finger, adding,
‘And to tbe Holy Ghost;’ finally, he left
~ it. as now, on the fourth finger, with tbe
' j clouug word ‘Amen,’

The Celebrated Washing Machine.
HAVING bmght the right tor this city, wo
l>eg to notify the public, that wc shall man
ulacture them in the most substantial manner. —
' Tho Machine is so simple in its arrangement that
I it can be used by a small boy, und the dispatch
with which it washes a number of garments at
I a time, (requiring only one minute,) entirely
' clean, and without the usual wear and tear, re
i commends it to every house-keeper. It very
soon pays for itself in the saving of time, besides
' the other advantages of saving labor and clothes
from being worn out by rubbing. It is not liable,
to get of order, and when it does can be quickly
repaired by any Carpenter.
The Proprietors of the Washington Hall, At
lanta Hotel, and others in the city, who have
them in use, will testify to those recommenda
tions.
Apply at Gilbert & Clark’s Hardcore Store,
who are our Agents, and will have a supply on
