President— (Having seated all by one blow ofthegaeil.)—Brother Instructor, these new brothers having complied with the demands of the order, are entitled to the secrets and privil eges of the same. You, will, therefore, invest them, with everything appertaining to the. first degree. Instructor— Brothers: the practices and pro ceedings in our order are as follows: We nave pass-words necessary to lie used to ' obtain admission to our councils; forms for our conduct while there; means of recognizing each other when abroad; means of mutual protection; and methods for giving notices to members. At the outer door you will* (make anyordin ! ary alarm to attract the notice of the outside sen tinel.) When the wicket is opened you will • pro nounce the (words —what's the pass,) in a whis per. The outside sentinel will reply (Give it,) when you will give the term pass-word and be admitted to the ante-room. You will then pro- need to the inner door and give (one rap.)— When the wicket is opened, give your name, the number of, and location of your council, the explanation of the won! pass, and the degree pass-word. If these be found correct, you will be admit ted ; if not, your name will be reported to the Vice President, and must be properly vouched for before you can gain admission to the coun cil. You will then proceed to the centre of the room and address the (President) with the coun tersign, which is performed thus, (placing the right hand diagonally across the mouth.) When this salutation is recognised, you will quietly take your seat. This sign is peculiar to this degree, and is never to be used outside of the council room, i nor during the conferring of this degree. Wlien | retiring, you will address the ( Vice President) in I the same manner, and also give the degree pass word to the inside sentinel. The ” term pass-word ” is (Be are.) [The pass-word and explunation is to lie es tablished by each State Council for its respec tive subordinates.] The "explanation" of the “term-pass." to uswl at the inner door, is (our country's hope. The “degree pass-word” is (Native.) The "travelling pass-word” is ( The memory of our pilgrim father's.) [This word is changed annually by the Pres ident of the National Council of the United States, and is to be made and used only when the brother is travelling beyond the jurisdiction of his own State, District or Territory. It and all other pass-words, must be communicated in a whisper, mid no brother is entitled to commu nicate them to another, without authority from the presiding officer.] The "sign of recognition’’ is (grasping the right lappel of the coat with the right hand, the fore finger being extended inwards.) The " answer ” is given by (a similar action with the left hand.) The “grip" is given by (an ordinary shake OJ the hand.)

President.— lt has, no doubt, been iong ap parent to you, brothers, that foreign influence and Roman Catholicism have been making steady and alarming progress in our country.— You cannot have failed to observe the signifi cant transition of the foreigner and Romanist from a character quiet, retiring, and even allject. to one bold, threatening, turbulent and despotic in its appearance and assumptions. You must have become alarmed at the systematic and rapidly augmenting power of these dangerous and unnatural elements of our national condi tion. So is it, brothers, with others besides yourselves in every State of the Union. A sense of danger has struck the great heart of the nation. In every city, town and hamlet, the danger has been seen and the alarm sound ed. And hence true men have devised this or der as a means of disseminating patriotic prin ciples, of keeping alive the fire of national vir tue, of fostering the national intelligence, and of advancing American and the American in terest on the one side, and on the other of checking the strides of the foreigner or alien, or thwarting the machinations and subverting the deadly plans of the Papist and Jesuit. Note.—The President shall impress upon the initiates the importance of secrecy, the manner of proceeding in recommending candi dates for initiation, and the responsibility of the duties which they have assumed. Second Degree Council. Marshal.— Worthy President: These broth ers have been duly elected to the second degree of this order. I present them to you for obli gation. President.— Brothers: You will place your left hand upnn your right breast, aim extend your right hand towards the. flag of your coun try, preparatory to obligation. (Each council room should have a neat American flag fes tooned over the platform of the President.) Obligation. You, and each of you, of your own free will and accord, in the presence of Almighty God and these witnesses, your left hand resting upon your right breast, and your right hand extended to the flag of your country, do solemnly and sincerely swear, that you w ill not under any cir cumstances disclose in any manner, nor suffer it to be done by others, if in your power to pre vent it, the name, signs, pass-words, or other se crets of this degree, except in open council for the purpose of instruction ; that you will in all things conform to all the rules and regulations of this Order, and to the constitution and bye laws of this or any other council to which you may lx* attached, so long as they do not conflict with the Constitution of the United States, nor that of the State in which you reside; that you will under all circumstances, if in your power so to do, attend to all regular signs or summons that may be thrown or sent to you by a broth er of this or any other degree of this order; that you will support in all political matters, for all political offices, members of this order in preference to other persons; that if they may be done legally, you will, when elected or appointed to any official station conferring on you the power to do so, remove all foreigners, aliens or Roman Catholics from office or place, and that you will in no case appoint such to any office or place in your gift. You do also promise and swear that this and all other obli gations which you have previously taken in this order, shall ever be kept through life sacred and inviolate. All this you promise and de clare, as Americans, to sustain and abide by, without any hesitation or mental reservation whatever. So help you God and keep you steadfast. iEach will answer, “1 do.”) ’resident.— Brother Marshall, you will now present the brothers to the Instructor for instruc tions in the second degree of the order. Marshal.— Brother, Instructor, by direction of our worthy President, 1 present these broth ers before you that you may instruct them in the secrets and mysteries of the second degree of the order. Instructor. — Brothers, in this degree wT have an entering sign and a countersign. At the outer door proceed (as in the first degree.) At the inner door you will make (two raps.) and pro ceed as in the first degree, giving the second de gree password, which is (American.) instead of that of the first degree. If found to be correct, you will then be admitted, and proceed (to the centre of the room.) giving the countersign, which is made thus (extending the right arm to the national flag over the president, the palutn of the hand being upwartls.) The sign of rccoguization in this degree is the same as in the first degree, with the addition of (the middle finger,) and the response to be made in a (similar maimer.) Marshal, you will now present the brothers to the worthy President for admonition. Marshal.— Worthy President. I now present these candidates to you for admonit ion. President. — Brothers you are now duly initi ated into the second degree of this order. Re- i newing the congratulations which we extend to you upon your admission to the first degree, we admonish you by every tie that may nerve pa triots, to aid us in our efforts to restore the poli tical institutions of our country to their original purity. Begin with th youth of our land. In stil into their minds the lessons of our country 's history—the glorious battles and the brilliant deeds of patriotism of our fathers, through which we received the inestimable blessings of civil j and religious liberty. Point them to the exam ple of the sages and the statesmen who founded | our government. Implant in their bosoms an ardent love for the Union. Above all else, keep alive in their bosoms the memory, the maxims, and the deathless example of our illustrious W ashington.

Brothers, it is with great pleasure that I congratulate you upon your advancement to the third degree of our Order. The responsi bilities you have now assumed,are more serious and weighty than those which preceded, and are committed to such as have been tried and found worthy. Our obligations are intended as solemn avowals of our duty to the land that gave us birth : to the memories of our fathers and to the happiness and welfare of our children. Oonseerating to your country a spirit unselfish and a fidelity like that which distinguished the patriots of the Revolution, you have pledged your cementing the bonds of a Union which we trust will endure forever. Your deport ment since your initiation has attested your devotion to the principles we desire to establish, and has inspired a confidence in your patriotism of which we can give no higher proof than your reception here. The dangers which threaten American Lib erty arise from foes without and enemies with in. The first degree pointed out the source and nature of our most imminent peril, and in dicated the first measure of safety. The second degree defined the next means by which, in coming time, such assaulte may be rendered harmles. The third degree, which you have just received, not only reiterates the lessons of the other two. but it is intended to avoid and provide for a more remote but no less terrible I danger, from domestic enemies to our free in-1 stitutions. I Our objhct is briefly this: —to perfect an or-1 ganization modelled after that of the Constitu tion of the ( nititl State's, and co-existive: with the confederacy. Its object and pritici-, pies, in all matters of national concern, to be I uniform and identical, whilst in all local mat-I tors the component parts shall remain indepen- • dent and sovereign within their resjiective lim-1 its.

' ihe hour was approaching for the departure oi the New Haven steam oat from her berth at • New } ork, and the usual crowd of passengers • and friends of passengers, news, boys, fruit vend- ! dors, cab men and dock loafers, were assembled • on and about the boat. We were at the : motley group, from the foot of the promenade : deck stairs, when our attention was attracted by the singular action of a tall, brown Yankee i in an immense wool hat. chocolate colored coat 1 and pantaloons, and a fancy vest. He stood near i the starboard paddlebox, and scrutinized sharply every female who came on board, every now and . then consulting an enormous bull’s eye watch’ ■ which he raised from the depths of a capacious fob, by means of a powerful steel chain. After 1 mounting guard in this manner, he hashed I furiously down the gang plank and up the plank and up the wharf, re-appearing on board : almost instantaneously, with a finished face, ex- ! pressing the most intense anxiety. This series : ot operation he performed several times, after i which he rushed about the boat, wildly and hope- i lessly, ejaculating: “What’s the time of day? Wonder if my re peater’s fast? Whar’s the cap'n? Whar’s the steward *! Whar’s the boss that owns the j ship?” “What’s the matter, sir?” we ventured to ask ' him, when he stood for moment. “Han’t seen nothin’ of a gal in a blue sun bon-1 net, with a white Canton crape shawl (cost fifteen I dollars,) pink gown, and brown bools, hey? come ■ aboard while 1 was looking for the cap’n at the - pint eend of the ship—have ye? hey?’* “No such person has come aboard.” “Tormented lightning! she’s my wife!” he screamed; “married her yesterday. All her trunk and mine are abroad, under the pile of baggage as tall as a Connecticut steeple. The darn'd black nigger says he can't hand it out. aial 1 won’t leave my baggage, any how. My wife— only think on it—w’as to have come aboard at half-past fom, and here it's most fivs. What’s become of her! she can’t have eloped. We hain’t been married long enough for that.

The Yankee darted to the captain’s side.

I’ll pay you for it. How much will you tax!" “I could not doit." ■‘Cap’n, I’ll give you tew dollars,’’ gasped the I Yankee. The captain shook his head. “I'l give ye five dollars and a halt—and a half!—and a half!—and a half!" he kept re pealing, dancina about in his agony, like ii mad jackass on a hot iron plate. “The boat starts at five precisely. ” said the captain, shortly, and turned away. “O, you stunny-tiearted heathin!" murmur-1 ed the Y’ankee, almost bursting into tears.— “Partin’ man and wife, and we justone day mar ried." At this moment the huge paddle wheels be gan to paw the water, and the walking beam descended heavily, shaking the huge fabric to her centre. All who were not going to New Haven went ashore. The hands began to haul in the gang planks; the fasts are already cast. loose. “Leggo that plank!" roared the Yankee, colt taring one of the hands. “Drop it like a hot po- ; tatoc, or I’ll heave you into the dock." “Yo—yo!” shouted the men in a chorus, as, they heaved on the gangway. : “Shut up, you braying donkeys," yelled the I I maddened Y ankee,“or there’ll be an ugly soot of j ! work." i But the plank was got aboard, and the boat ’ 1 splashed past the pier. In an instant the Y’ankee pulled oil' his coat, > flung his hat beside it on the deck, and rushed’ wildly to the guard. I “Are you drunk or crazy!” cried a passenger I seizing him. ■ “I’m goin’ to fling myself into the dock and ' ■ swim ashore! cried the Y’ankee-. I must*nt leave Sairy Ann alone in New Y ork city. You | may divide the baggage among ye. Leggo me! I i 1 can swim." He struggled so furiously that the consequen-; ; ces ot his rashness might have been fatal, had i not a sudden apparition changed his purpose-—j j A very pretty young woman in a blue bonnet ’ white Canton crape shawl, pink dress and brown, | ’ boots came towards him. The big brown Yakee uttered one stentorian i j shout oi “Sairy Anu!" clasped her in his arms, ’ in spite of her struggling and kissed her heartily ’ i right before ail the passengers. I “ Where did you come irom," he inqqired ; I “From the ladies cabin," answered tile bride.. “ Y’ou told me half past four, but 1 thought I’d I . i make sure and come at four." “A little too punctual!” said die Yankee.— ' “But it's all right now.

Whilst the sweet winds load her With the garlands of odor From the bud of the rose o’erblown! But the autumn night Has a piercing sight, And a step both strong and free; And a voice of wonder Like the wrath of thunder W hen he shouts to the stormy sea. And the wintry night Is all cold and white, And she singeth a song of pain, Till the wild bee hummeth. And the warm spring cometh. When she dies in a dream of rain. O, the night! the night! Tis a lovely sight, W hatever the clime or time; For sorrow then spareth, And the loveroutpoureth His soul in a star-bright rhyme. It bringeth sleep To the forest deep, The forest-bird to its nest; To care bright hours, And dreams of flowers, And that balm to the weary, rest!

When first 1 met; the lady Arabella in the brilliant saloon of the , Count <le Pompereno, I was struck with the spir itual lustre of her drove like eyes. In short, my friend; I loved her, although I knew nothing of her birth, fortune or station. ’Twas one moon light eve, in the garden oi the old chateau, when I pressed her to become my own, my cherished bride. She shrank from me, saying: “ Y’ou knowest not who I am.” “I care not,” said I, passionately. “Then I do!’* cried she in a piercing tone.

NEW PROSPECTUS UF THE ATLANTA WEEKLY EXAMINER A New Southern Enterprise! SUBSCRIPTION ONLY One Dollar per annum. The WtotKLY Examinrr will after the first day of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the low price of ONE DOLLAR per annum, payn able invariably in advance. Many reasons have induced the proprietor ot this paper tp embark in an enterprise never be fore attempted in the South, and which has proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery States North and West, but has received a pat ronage in the Slave States, that had better be con fined, though at greater expense, to the South ern Press. To obviate, then, the objection, as far as we can, to the price of tho Weekly Examiner, we from and alter the period designated willforwatd it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and this will place it within the reach of the poor, as well as the rich. To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner will be devoted. Our position in regard to the first is already well understood. It is unnecessa ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC ANTI KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and the Union, to which the South can look, with confidence, to the maintenance of her ryjhts, and a strict adherence to the Constitution. The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the South. Atlanta occupies a position, and embra ces facilities, for the receipt and transmission of NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad vantage will be taken of these, to make the EX AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers, who, in the main, subscribe tor weekly papers ! only. The Literary and Miscellaneous Department will also receive a large share of attention. During the session of our Legislature, one ot the Editors will be present to report the proceed ings of that Body, for the Daily Examiner—these reports will be transferred to the weekly and each subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history of tho session. A correspondent to furnish tho proceedings of I Congress, and a New York correspondent, have also been engaged. In short, every thing that can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper, will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam iner. A large and fine assortment of new type has been ordered, and is now on its way from New York. We hope to receive it in time for our next week’s issue, when not only will the ap pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly improved, but a large quantity of reading matter will be added to both. In adventuring upon this nov 1 enterprise—one so important to Georgia, and the South—the Pro prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the first established paper in tho State, or the South, with a large circulation, that has reduced its terms, that it rnay be within the reach of any man. As such, it is hoped and believed that the enter prise will prosper. We appeal then to the people to subscribe; particularly do wc call upon the DEMOCRACY and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to standby I us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun ; dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed I paper equal in its every department, to any week j y Southern paper.
