Address. It is a peculiar filature in the composition of our government and institutions, that when the Democratic element on which they are based, runs into such excesses and licence as to peril the pristine virtue and integrity of the country, the consevative powers of the nation arrange themselves and subdue the innovations which threaten at once the stability of the Constitution, and the welfare of the people; and it is to this inherent quality arising from, and dwelling IN THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND GENERAL INTELLI GENCE OF THE BETTER CLASSES of population, that we find the safeguard of the Republic in the past, the hope of its perpetuitv in the future though at the moment its power is called into action, from the necessity for its exertion, the political atmosphere may be agitated by storm and whirlwind, still such will be but the harbin , ger of a serene sky and an unclouded day; for ■ OUR NATION, LIKE THE OCEAN, CAN ONLY BE PU- RIFTED BY ITS GIGANTIC CONVULSIONS. Far, then, from deprecating such agitations, ought we not rather to regard them as the con sequences of the necessary struggle, which is in the end to expel intolerable abuse, and restore health to our political society. Among the many imperfections to which a government constituted as our own is subject, the generosity with which it throws wide open the portals of citizenship to the members of all nations, and all classes, is not by any means the least to be deplored. Not content with extend ing to the oppressed myriads of less favored lands the blessings arising from a free govern ment, the happiness springing from free institu tions, and the protection flowing from merciful laws, not content with throwing the broad. AJgis of our constitution between the oppress ors°and suffering humanity of the whole world; not content with inviting starving millions to take refuge from famine in the bountiful bosom . of our beautiful country—the original framers ' of our otherwise almost perfect constitution, WITH AN ILL-ADVISED LIBERALITY, extended to them also the highest honors of man, and while relieving their necessities, called on them to as sume the august mantle of the legislator. With such inducements as these, it ceases to be u matter of surprise that men groaning under the burdens of intolerable taxation, bowed down with the agony of seeing their starving wives and children, and crushed under the weight of evils springing from a haughty aristocracy, and an overcrowded population, should hail with rapture this new realization of a land literally overflowing “with milk and honey,” and leaving the time worn abuses of European society, should throw themselves on our shores in numbers countless as the swarms of Locusts which infect ed Egypt of old. Bht while we greeted the ar rival of the few industrious and sterling men who were driven by untoward circumstances to seek shelter among us, we were also forced to receive the by far larger proportion of the idle, the vicious and the filthy, who lacking the ener gy or honesty to live in their own homes, come to reap a harvest by the exercise of qualities to which happily, the native born citizens of the land are strangers. Here came, and still comes, the pauper, with his rags and his sloth, to cajole, by his feigned distress, the sympathies of the charitable and industrious; here comes the ad venturer, striving to obtain a livelihood by cun ning and trickery, which, if exerted in a better cause, would perhaps conduct him to considera tion and credit; here comes, actually brought at the expense of their governments, the refuse of every European city, the incorrigible inmates of their jails, actually converting the heritage earned by the blood of our fathers into an asy lum for every rogue and cut-purse on the face of the earth. Doubtless among the thousands who swarmed hither there were a few worthy of the high privilege our laws extended to them, but these were comparatively few indeed. Still fewer were they who contributed in any manner to the intelligence or enlightenment of the com munity, and fewer still who added anything to the wealth and comfort of society. But of all who came, will any one have the 1 hardihood to contend that one in one hun dred considered the right of suffrage as an in ducement among the causes that compelled them to emigrate? They came fleeing from the em brace of gaunt famine, and whether the country acknowledged the sway of the despot, monarch or president, the difference was not material, provided the plenty of the land would suffice to relieve their own necessities, and those of their wive? and little ones. Can it be wondered at that men, whose whole ' lives have been passed in the grossest ignorance and abasement, whose constant care has been to . keep frem their thrsehold the grim demon of starvation, who crouched submissively beneath the rod of an unpitying government, nay, who licked the hand that struck them—the most brutally ignorant denizens of lands whose wi sest sons, after years of study, found themselves unable to comprehend the action of our pecul iar government; can it be wondered at, that these new citizens, utterly ignorant, as their limited powers of comprehension and reasoning must necessarily leave them, of the very consti- ' tution they swear to support, would be the ready dunes and willing tools of every unprincipled J and designing demagogue? The privilege, inestimable to the born free man, of asserting his opinions by means of pop- j ular election, became to these voters, in very many instances, but a question of barter and 1 sale, and every political canvass was converted ' nito an auctioneer’s mart, at which the vote was * knocked down to the highest bidder, and the ■ representative of the people was chosen by men 6 whose choice was dictated solely by passion or , interest, seldom or never by the calm and steady influence of reason. The very qualities necesi sary to the character of the pure and patriotic ' politician, wore such as would inevitably fail to ’ enlist the attachment and support of these men, who found in the artful and pliant demagogues 1 far more congenial spirit, Thus corruption 1 crept into the high places of the government, ' and the fairest flower, that of integrity and pa- ' triotism, was rudely torn from the chaplet of virtues that-Washington, Franklin and Jeffer- , son had twined around the welfare of the peo ple. But it was not only in the administration of government that the abuses arising from foreign ' population became apparent. The same causes which qualified these men ' as voters, disqualified them as jurors; and the ■ sacred precincts of the tribunals of justice were I defiled by the display of verdicts emanating; from the influences of bribery and corruption, or from those of unhallowed passions and prej- ( udiees. Every vein and artery of society, civil mid political, was tainted by this poison, which circulated through it and the purity of our in stitutions, as bequeathed to us by our ancestors, was threatened with total destruction. Another consequence naturally springing from , the habits and customs of this motley popula tion soon become apparent. Thesepeople, who, during their whole existence had never had a voice in the election of their rules, could not comprehend, and could still less observe that good humor and obedience to law, which the party in the minority always in this country, show to the willl of the majority ; and the elec tion precincts of our cities, hitherto the scenes of the utmost hormony and good will, became the ground of the most disgraceful riots and disturbances. It was in vain that the old and reputable cit izens. children of the soil, and whose fathers had bled, perhaps, in the cause of liberty, remonstra-1 ted against these excesses ; deaf to reason, their i newly acquired liberty became unbridled li- ■ cense, and the insolent question -is it not a free country” from even brutalized specimens ofhu-' manity, who but a mouth before, perhaps, would have scringed abjectly to some petty squire in I his own country, would be the sole answer, i I indeed a blow was not the consequence of the j interference. But never while they thus usurped all the rights and privileges of the native born citizens, and even in many cases endeavored by superior numbers to compel them forcibly into their own measures, these people, with an un par. Jlelcd audacity refused to combine with them, ■ and enjoying every right and every privilege in I common with ourselves, kept up. and still keep ; np, national societies, national festivals, and j national peculiarities belonging to the land of their birth. Thus we see that while the slight-1 eat allusion to an adopted citizen’s birth-place spoken of in a political light by a native citi jen. is received as illiberal and contrary to American spirit, it is no uncommon thing to 1 find Hibernian Societies, St. Andrew Societies? „ | German Societies, Scotch, Irish and German ’ military companies, in which the national col " ors are paraded through the streets, and in which .’ all of these very people contend to maintain their respective'nationalities. Still the American people bore these outra -3 ges for many years without a murmur. That 1 strong law-abiding spirit, so prevalent among ' Americans, and so characteristic of an enlight -3 cued and educated nation, was strong within * them. True it is that men would reason on the subject “Why,” one would say, “ should my ’ sons of 18 and 20 years, educated, refined, anil 1 honorable, bred up to a knowledge of history, laws and constitution of the country, whose in ' tercsts are identified with the soil for which their ■ forefathers bled and died—why should they lie 1 refused a voice in the government, while yonder beeotted wretch, brutul, ignorant and lazy— who ; has scarcely been in the country five years— who, far from understanding the question at issue, hardly understands the language, and who would sell his vote to the highest bidder, is al ’owed, nay, is-invited to express his opinion by the ballot box.” “And why,” the young man would say, “ should we, who are born on the soil be forced to wait twenty-one years in order to vote, while these strangers are allowed to vote after the trifling lapse of five years?”— These questions would arise—the common sense of the people dictated thorn—but still the polit ical horizon did not bode a storm fierce enough to rouse the slumbering conservatism of the nation. They saw strangel’s sharing their no ble heritage with them, but they said there is enough for all, take the fruits of the land but do not cut down the orchards which produce them; they saw many and great abuses, but they patiently endured them from the deep re spect due the immortal framers of the constitu tion ; they knew that they had taken a viper to their homes, and they calmly watched the reptile, as catching the genial warmth radiating from our institutions and laws, it uncoiled its loathesome folds, and stood ready to strike the hand that cherished it when suddenly a new element concealed in this foreign pest aroused all their latent energies, and they prepared themselves to battle and crush the ungrateful monster which threatened the well-being of all they held dear and honorable. The far larger portion of onr adopted citizens owned the sway of a spiritual power which in its ambition for temporal command never sleeps, and which ‘ in the attainment of an end, is as unscrupulous in the means it employs as it is insiduous in its approaches. The doctrine of confession, a car dinal point in the orthodox adherent of this faith, places the church in possession of all knowledge, jxtlitical and domestic, while that of absolution holds out to the pious worshipper an inducement to commit any and every crime at the simple request of any of the clergy compe tent to absolve him from the sin. When we add to this the blind attachment of these people to the government of Rome, an undoubted evidence of the fact that the efforts of the Propaganda were directed to the over throw of religious liberty, and the establishment of the Catholic faith as that of the country, can it be wondered at that the indignation of the people was aroused ? Was it not a burning shame that these foreigners, to whom we had extended the right hand of fellowship, whom we had welcomed to our homes and hearths, to whom—just rescued from the most grievous oppression and want, we had offered liberty and plenty—should endeavor to use that very liberty for the overthrow of the institutions which protected them, and hand over their bene factors to the tender mercies of a religious pow er which had filled the pages of history with experiences of fire and sword, the rack and the torture ? True it was that the conservative powers qf the country were once more aroused for its pre servation, and the result of their action was the formation of that organization of which you are members. That is arose from an actual neces sity for its existence, and that the country was rife for it, is evident from the thousands of the good, the patriotic and the wise who rushed to add their names to the number of the enrolled; is evident from resistless power and energy of its will, and from the provedjdisdamfrom which it crushes all opposition. Throughout the length and breadth of the land, its principles were answered by chords in the hearts of the Americrn people, and one year ago, this power, which rules supreme over the political destinies of Georgia, which embra ces among her sons some of the wisest and no blest of the State, could hardly have said to have existed within its boundaries. The order was established in this State on the 27th of May, 18g4, in the City of Savan nah, and now boasts 270 Councils. In regard to the spirit and object of the order, I need say nothing on the present occasion, nor would I be paying a proper degree of respect to yonr intelligence or sincerity, did I proceed to vindicate the order from the foul aspersions with which the demagogue and foreigner assail us. One thing, however, I would recommend: LET THE MOST PROFOUND AND INVIOLATE SECRE CY SHfiOUD IN UTTER DARKNESS OUR MOVEMENTS, our flans, our numbers. It is to our alliance with mystery and uncertanty that we owe our great victories in the past, and on which we must rest our hopes for the future. Unmask our batteries, tear away the veil which shrouds our proceedings, and you introduce the first great element of weakness aad disorganization; you thereby shear the locks of the mighty Samp son, and leave him powerless at the feet of his enemies. YOU THEREBY DESTROY THE ABILITY OF YOUR CO-LABOR ERS TO ENTER INTO THE COUNCILS OF THE ENEMY AND THWART HIS MOST SKILLFULLY PLANNED MEAS URES. Heed not the reproaches of men who, desirous of breaking your phalanx, attack this i strong band of your rowER. Let them anini-1 advert upon this obnoxious feature in a party ' under our free government, doubtless they would take extreme pleasure in frightening you from a c ause which ensures your success and their defeat. Be secret, vigilant and united, for thus, and thus only shall you attain the high object of our enterprise and build around the sacred temple of our institution a barrier im pregnable to the attacks of all enemies, whether foreign or domestic. WILLIAM HONE. A Good One. [ A very good widow lady, who was looked up to by the congregation to which she belong ed as un example of piety, contrived to bring her conscience to terms for one little indulgence. She loved porter, and one day just as she receiv- I ing a half dozen bottles from the man who usu ally brought her the comforting beverage she (O horror) two of the grave elders of the church j approaching her door. She ran the man out of : the back way, and put the bottles under the j bed. The weather was hot, and while conver- i sing with her sage friends pop went one of the , corks. ‘Dear me,’ exclaimed the good lady, ‘there • goes that bed cord; it snapped yesterday just i the same way, I must have a new rope provid-1 ed.’ In a few moments, pop went another, follow- i ed by the peculiar hiss of the escaping liquor, i The rope wouldn't do again but the good lady ! was not at a loss. •Dear me.' says she. ‘that black cat of mine ’ must beat some mischief there.

St. Andrew's Hall has waked up many who 3 were hitherto incredulous to the horrors, of Know N othingism. The part which perhaps has at " tracted most attention is that which clearly show p that the oaths and obligations of the Ritual are ■ in direct antagonism to the peace and good or der of the society, and that obedience to them , would render the offender amenable to the pen ; al laws of Georgia. , 'By this ritual” says Mr. Ward, “it is de clared if the color of the paper be red, it will ’ denote actual trouble, which requires that you ' come prepared to meet it. t “The Know Nothing is then sworn that if a certain signal is given he will eotnc prepared to meet trouble. Will my Know Nothing friends ’ explain what is the meaning of this prepara : tion? “What do we understand when a man tells us 1 he is going out to meet trouble, and ho is pre ' pared or fit ? Is it not that lie is aimed ? How is he to bear those arms ? Openly ? ' What a spectable wound be presented, Ameri can freemen carrying arms to enforce their poli cal rights 1 Secretly? There is a Statute of ' the State which forbids it. ' “For the time of danger a cry of distress is provided, which requires the immediate assem blage of the brethren. “la there not a Statute of our State which de ' clares ‘that if any two or more persona, either with or witout a common case of quarrel, do an 1 unlawful act of violence, or any other act in a violent and tumultuous manner, such person so offending shall be guilty of a riot, &c.’ Yet the Know Nothings are required immediately to as semble at a given cry when their interest re quires it, prepared by the vary terms of their ritual, to meet danger, an consequently assem bling with a common cause of quarrel.” Mr. Ward is a good lawyer, and in particular admitted to be well acquainted with the Stat utes of Georgia. We shall not therefore at tempt to add anything to what he said on that point We may, however, be permitted to add in support of his argument, further disclosures of the horrors of this secret political order, that is seeking to control the destinies of- the coun try. The following is a correct extract from the Ritual, as proscribed by the National Council: Public notice for a meeting is given by means of a piece of white paper in the shape of a heart. In the cities* the *** where the meeting is to be held, will be written legibly upon the election day said*** will denote*** were your presence is needed. This notice will never be passed, but will be*** or thrown upon the side walk with a***in the centre. If information is wanting of the object of the , gathering, or of the place, &c., the inquirer will ask of an undoubted brother where's men ? The brother will give the information >f possessed of it; if not, it will be yours and his duty to con tinue the inquiry* and thus disseminate the call throughout the brotherhood. If the color of the paper be red, it will denote actual trouble, which requires that you come prepared to meet it. The “cry of distress”—to be used only in time of danger, or where the American interest re quires an immediate assemblage of the bretbern —is, oh, oh, oh. The response is hio, hio, hio. The “sign of caution”—to be given when a brother is specking unguardedly before a stran ger—is drawing the fore-finger and thumb to gether across the eyes, the rest of the hand being closed, which signifies “keep dark.” In intimate connection with these signs is the following harried oath. Does it not contain the elements of riot and bloodshed ? And is not he who obeys it amenable to the penal laws of Georgia? “That you will, under all circumstances, if in your power so to do, attend to all regular signs or summons tliat may be thrown or sent to you by a brother of this order; that you will answer aii imperative notice issued-by the propel - au thority; oltcy the command of the State Council President, or his deputy, while assembled by such notice, and respond to the calm of a sign or a cry of the order, unless it be physically im possible. That these oaths and signs are not in reality idle things, the terrible riot at Louisville is am ple evidence. The following is an extract from a letter from “An Eye Witness” to the Indianapolis Sentinel which sheds more light on their proceedings end ing in the dreadful scenes that occured: “By 10 o’clock the city was under the con trol of a lawless Know Nothing mob—neither life nor property safe. At this crisis, Hon. William P. Thomasson, formerly a Whig men - ber of Congress from the city, and a gentlemen of high character and standing, mounted the rostrum and implored them, as good citizens, to desist from such a course. He had, however, spoken but a few moments, when the Know Nothing signal for blood was given, and he was instantly knocked down by a club, in the hands of some assassin who approached him in the rear. About this time Colonel Preston, the an ti-Know Nothing candidate for Congress, ap peared in the First Ward, which is the large Democratic ward, composed chiefly of German naturalized citizens, and requested his friends not to attempt to vote. He stated to them that the polls were in the hands of the Know Nothing bullies, that his friends could not approach the polls in safety, and advised them to retire peace ably to their homes and submit to disfranchise ment rather than endanger their lives. The re sult was. that out of 6,500 votes in the city, only 4,500 were polled. Two thousand Democratic voters were by violence deprived of the right of suffrage.” j Now it is very clear, says the Washington Btar commenting on thia, that the terrible and disgraceful occurrences in Louisville grew out of the fact that so large a portion of its citizens had taken these extrajudicial and revolutionary oaths so injurious to the public peace. It will be seen above, that the programme for carrying an election by a violence embraced in this ex tract from the ritual, was literally carried out Prentice gave the sign in his newspaper, in his I orders to the foreign voters not to presume to : exercise their legal rights ; in which article is I also embraced the order for the Know Noth ings to assemble at the polls to prevent them I (the foreign born citizens) from exercising the franchise. Not content with compassing their frauds, making our boasted liberty, the law, and equali under our Government the merest mockery im aginable, the ruffians so collected by the journal I nnd the red pieces of paper, and the “Oh-oh-oh." | | (both of which last were in sight and heard all : ' the day on the streets.) commenced to chase, beat . und mtiim foreign-born persot» found in the ; city’s thoroughfares, assailing them with short i clubs loailed with lead, stones and knives. To ' save their lives, thus soughts by an infuriated j mob, the Germans and Irish in a minority of i perhaps one-tenth the number of their actual ' assailants, resorted to fire-arms.—She.

Wherever and whenever a Know Nothing t. addresses the people he is sure to descwit large -3 ly upon, and swagger over, the lentiments of _ i Washington, as expressed in letters alleged to ; have been written by him in 1777 and 1778, i in which be alludes to iwmmisslonj sought for “ by certain adventurers in the army, aad promo tions sought for by commissioned officers, of foreign birth, then in the service. These opin - ions of the - Great Father of his Country ” ‘ garbled to suit the occasion, and to deceive the 1 unwary, are pronounced from the stump with t an effrontery truly ridiculous and disgusting. > Now, wherever and whenever this is done, let ’ the reply be this—that the illustrious Waasli- ington, long after the Revolutionary War, de . elated “The bosom of America is open to receive. NOT ONLY THE OPULENT AND RESPECTABLE > STRANGER, BUT THE OPPRESSED AND PERSECUTED OF ALL NATIONS AND ALL RELIGIONS, WHOM WE SHALL WELCOME TO A PARTICIPATION IN ALL OCR [ RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.” But not only this, let the demagogues be 1 told, that long after, the formation of the Fed eral Constitution, WASHINGTON, the re nowned patriot, and hero of the war for inde- ■ pcndence, in the maintenance and advocacy of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, said >— ’ “If I could have entertained the slightest ap , prehension that the Constitution framed at the Convention where I had the honor to preside might possibly endanger the religious rights of . any ecclesiastical society, certainly I would nev er have placed my signature to it; and if I could not conceive that the General Government might even be so administered aa to render the lilierty of conscience insecure, I l»g you will . be persuaded thafcno one would be more zeal ous than myself to establish effectual, barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species as religious persecution—for, yon doubtless remember, I have often expressed mv sentiments that any man conducting himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own con science,” If these two extracts from his written opin ions, left like a legacy to the people, do not stop the mouths of the demagogues who sacrilegious ly slander the memory of WASHINGTON, then from all such, let tho people pray to be de livered I A Sad Occurrence. On Sunday morning last, about five miles rom Camden, near the residence of Col. W. J. Taylor, the elephant attached to the Circus and Menagerie of C. F. Bailey & Co., which exhib ited in our town ou Saturday afternoon and vening, killed a horse and his keeper. It ap pears there was a difficulty in getting the ani mal across the bridge near Col. Taylor's mill, and after some trouble they succeeded in get ting him over by another way. The elephant from some cause became angry, and the horse coming in his wav was gored to death. After ascending the hill on the other side of the mill race, at the forks of the Columbia and McCord’s Ferry Roads, the elephant again became unruly, wanting to go to the left in place of the right. The keeper, whose name we learn is George West, undertook to punish him; whereupon the enraged animal seized and threw him up piercing the poor man through the body, ami mangling him otherwise in a shocking manner, so that he died in a few minutes. Mr. Bailey returned immediately to Camden and informed the coroner, Z. J. DeHay, who summoned a jury and repaired to the spot, when, after the usual formalitions, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the fact" viz: “that the said George West came to hie d eath from wounds inflicted by the tusks of the elephant attached to the Circus of Bailey & Co.” In the afternoon, a requisition was made up on the Camden Light Infantry to go and kill the elephant, which had become a terror to all. A detachment under command of Lieut J ames J. Villepigue, immediately responded to the call, and arming themselves with powder and ball, repaired to tho scene. They aid not, how ever, succeed in killing the elephant that night, but went again on yesterday morning, and with the addition of several other gentlemen, not members of the Company, succeeded, after a long and dangerous struggle, in despatching him. The Circus Company, which had advert sed j to perform in Columbia on Monday—yesterday j —were obliged to take another road in order I to avoid coming in contact with the enraged ; monster. We learn that this is the only mau i which this elephant has killed ; he was evident-1 ly a vicions animal, as the keeper had difficulty j in keeping him within bounds on Saturday— ; It is a considerable loss to tho Company, "but nothing to be compared to the danger that there j was in allowing him to goat large. This event has created a considerable stir in our communi ty, and the thanks of the same are due to the j ’ gallant men engaged in the dangerous enterprise, j —Camden Journal. Senator Irvcrson tn Macon. Alluding to the speech of our distinguished Senator elect at Macon on Saturday last, the I Georgia Telegraph says: It was indeed a splendid and powerful effort, ' worthy of the man and of his fame. Os im posing presence; graceful in action and man- i ner, a voice of great power and of singular 1 sweetness, he impressed his hearers as much : by the felicity of his style and the appositenesa of his illustrations, as by his broad and states manlike propositions, and his logical and un answerable deductions. We do not propose, ' for want of time and space, to follow him ’ thoughout his great argument, or his expo sition and analysis of the various elements that < have entered into all parties that have sought power from the times of Adams and Jefferson , down to the present day. He showed that the ' same intolerance that characterized the admin- ' istration of the elder Adams, was now raging ' in the American party, with additional element of religious proscription, the most dangerous i' ami demoralizing in its effects that had ever 1 entered into American politics, always except ing the abolition doctrines of of the American ■ i party North. England more than sixty years | 1 ago had cast off as unworthy of the age, the garments of religious proscription all seared by the fires of persecution; and the singular and 1 modifying spectacle was presented without ex- ’ ample in our history, of a portion of American people, in the 19th century, an age of civil and ! religious libertv, taking np the exploded dogmas I of monarchial 'England, and advocating them with more than fanatical zeal. In the lan guage of Burke in a speech on a similar issues, “We are told that it is not a religious persecn and its abettors are loud in disclaiming all se verities on account of conscience * * * : they are not persecutors: they are only tyr- i ants." Speaking of Sir George Savile's act for j removing Catholic disabilities, the same great' statesman and orator said that in its protect- ■ ting onr Protestantism throughout Europe." We must close our remarks by expressing the : hope, tliat a speech so pregnant with profound' and statesmanlike views mav be given to the j public,tliat the Southern mind may be made to understand and comprehend the true and vital issues affecting its interests. Hoop Dresses.—The young ladies of Bus-1 falo have taken to wearing hoops, after the old I ' style. The local editor of the Republic boasts that he accompanied a handsome young lady j ; down the street, a dav or two since, but being I unable to get within tour feet of ber. the con-1 versation consisted of uninteresting scrape of; ’ commonplace, conducted principally in screams | 1 and halloos. As a crowning catastrophe, a dog; attached to a tin kettle ran against her, and could not be extricated until she reached home i Owing to the darkness of his situation the dog t remained quiet, but the persons she met were ■ Remarkable Occalence--A Lake Formed. A lake has bean formed on the lands of John ’ Liuaweaver and Christian Bowers, in tins coun ty. which covers about thirty acres of land, and is in some places as much as thirty feet deep. The oldest inhabitant never knew more than one or two acres of this land to be covered be fore and then the water stood upon it but a verv few davs. About two thirds of the land now covered beltings to Mr. Bowers, and is in grass; the balance belongs to Mr. Unaweaver, aud is about one-half in corn. Tho ground covered by water is surrounded by higher hind, and tlie o'nlv outlet for water falling upon it is a sort of s'ink hole on the land of Mr. Bowers. It is supposed that this has been partially closed, and the immense amount of water which fell upon the low land or run through rivers through the surrounding hills having no way of escape, formed the pond or lake. The rain which ceased this extraordinary col -ection of water commenced falling on Tuesday evening of last week, at 6 o’clock, and came down in torrents for about nine hours. The water entirely surrounded Mr. Lina weaver’s barn, and came very near entering his house. No serious damage was done except flooding the corn, which will be very much injured, if not entirely destroyed. The water has fallen about a foot, but it may be weeks and perhaiis months liefore it dieappeal’s.— Harrisburg Rcg~ tster. B Brains.—Gov. Trumbull, of Connecticut, on the occasion of a grand riot, ascended a block and attempted by a speech to quiet the peo ple, wlieu a random missile hitting him on the head felled him to the ground. He was badly hurt, and as his friends were carrying him into his house, hie wife met him at the" door and ex claimed, “Why, my husband, they have knocked yonr brains out 1” “No they haven't,” said the Governor, “If I'd had any brains I shouldn't have gone there.” The Tamarind Tree.—A gentleman in Winchester lias succeded in producing the tama rind, in perfection, from seeds picked out of the preserved fruit. The Tamarind is a beautiful tree, and will grow anywhere. The seeds should be planted in the fall, it grows about four inches apart. The sprouts are traisplanted when about three feet high.

Death Penalty in Kansas.—Among the bills said to have passed the Kansas legis lature is one apprzing the penalty of death to all attempts to interfere with or entice a ay slaves; Also the importing or introducing into the Ten-itory of any abolition document, tending to incite slaves to rebellion aginst authority is made punishable with death. Good.—Probably the next demand of the ‘American party' will be to have a solar system which shall be regulated expressly for the bene fit of ‘the natives’ of this continent ‘ Give us American principles and American religion.’— Kenneth Raynor. We don’t know of any American religion ex cept Mormonism, Shakerism and Millerism.

Alexander, of Woodford, Ky„ has visited all the herds of short horn cattle in England lately, and shipped for this country forty-eight of the best animals selected therefrom, as also twenty-two South down sheep.

Barbadoks, —The crop of the present year is estimated at 40,000 hogsheads. Provisions have been very scantily planted, which will necessarily render the inhabitants dependent upon American breailstuffs, with which their market is sparingly j supplied, and prices have considerably advanced, j Antigua.—Occasional shocks of earthquakes had been experienced at Antigua, without in flicting any injury. The weather was reported to be more favorable for manufacturing opera tions, than was experienced for some time pre vious. St. Christopher.—ln St Christopher the weather had been seasonable for grinding, but a great difficulty in commanding a sufficiency of labor. Two smart shocks of earthquake had been experienced. The Legislature had passed a bill to promote immigration to the Island. A young lady walking ont one fine morning met the celebrated John Wilkes. “You see sir, I have come out for a little sun and air.” “Yon had better, madam, get a little husband first.” said Wilkes. A bachelor advertised for a “helpmate,” one who would prove a companion for his heart, his hand and his lot.” A fair one replying, asked very earnestly, “how big is your lot?” The Jamaica apple crop is said to be abuneffmt this season. The Delaware Gazette states that three of the powder mills of the Messrs. DuPont explo ded on Monday morning about 11 o’clock, The black tongue has appeared to a consider able extent among the horses and cattle near Oquawka, Illinois, and is very fatal in its re sults. “Mr. J ones, don't you think thut marriage is a me:ir.s of grace?" “Certainly, anything is a means of grace that breaks up pride, and leads to repen tance.” Scene closes with a broom-handle. A tin dealer in the Bowery, advertises coal stoves that will “draw like Julia Dean.” Advices for Lawrence City, Kansas, to the 9th iust., say that the three saw mills in that town are in constant operation, but are unable to supply fully the great demand for lumber. Buildings are in course of erection in all parts of the city. Emigrants from the Western States are pouring into the territory in vast numbers. The Missouri Wine Company at St. Louis are manufacturing champagne from grapes grown in that State. Orders have been received at the Philadelphia navy yard to fit out the sloop of war St. Louis, to be ready for sea in six days. The workman in the navy yard have contrib uted 52300 for the relief of the yellow fever suf ferers at Norfolk and Portsmouth. A German astronomer says that in twenty millions of years from now the earth will be des troyed by a comet. The Central Bank of Tennessee, at Dandridge, : has just gone into operation. ! A Congregation op Abolitionists.—A : correspondent of a religious paper says that at I Theodore Parker's church.“not a few’had secu- I lar newspapers, which they set and read till after 1 the services commenced. There were bows of j recognition across the hall, and everybody seemed quite at ease. The sexton set a vase of beauti : fill fresh flowers on the speaker's desk.” I A girl thirteen years old; at Hartford, Con i necticut, is a splendid swimmer and diver, and I boldly jumps into the water from a prier thirty : five feet high. She is not encumbered with'a ! bathing dress on the occasion. We should think that girl decidedly attrac- I tire in her performances. The following rather amusing conversation recently took place between a traveller and a i squaw in Central Michigan. The squaw had a i '‘papooee” on her arm that was exceedingly white for a member of her race, which fact induced the gentleman to ask if it was not ahalf-breed; where, i upon she replied: “No, no—not a drop of white | blood about it—ixalf-lngin aad half Musumary.'' . ■ Withdrawals from the Secret Or der In Cherokee County. > We present our readers with the follow-1 • ing, as evidence, in part, of tho downward ! I progress of Rnow-Nothingism in Chero- j • kee County. In addition to those who i 1 sign the document sent to us for publica- i ( tion, others have withdrawn who did not j , sign. It is thus that “the work goes! . bravely on ft To the Public. We, the undersigned, very unwisely and without mature deliberation joined a Se- I cret Order, or organization, called the , Know-Nothings, having t:s we believed, I principles upon which any Southerner i could unite. But to our great uiortifica ’ tion and astonishment, what did we find? • Did we find great National principles yet ( unknown ? Did we find any great Whig ; or Democratic principles? No! butprin ? ciples that would compare with, and suit ; the dark ages of the wjrld ! Therefore, Resolved, That we no longer belong to I the Order, and that we feel assured that 1 almost all who have joined in this section 1 have done so without deliberation; and _ that when they come to review the matter in the light of reason and reflection, they will acknowledge their error and retrace 1 their steps; and we deeply deplore the : delusion of our friends who still cling to . the Order. ! Resolved, That we do believe in a free and popular government like ours, Secret ' Polirical Societies are not only unnecessa j ry but are indefensible, and inimical to , the genius and spirit of our free institu- ■ tions. Resolved., That we believe that we are justified in saying that in a free republic , like ours, no political party is entitled to . the support or confideneed of tho people • which does not expose its transactions to I the light of day, and freely submit all its ■ purposes and acts to the searching sertui ’ ny of public investigation. Resolved, That we believe that the lib erties of a free people are never more sure ly in the path of destruction than when , they trust themselves to the guidance of secret political societies. Resolved, That we believe the Know- Nothing party a political fraud, and we object to the source from which it came, as we believe that the society commenced in the Northern States with the Abolition ists. Resolved, That we believe there should be no secret in politice as the Declaration of Independence declares all men free and equal, the Constitution of the United i ■States guaranteeing the free right of suf- | frage at the ballot box to all men; and as i our. forefathers gained our liberties by shed-1 ding their blood, we desire to maintain I them and believe the only way to do it is ; to keep out of secret political societies.

WHEREAS official information has b-cn re ceived at thia Department that a Murder was committed in the county of Campbell, on the 30th of July 18’5, upon the body of Robert Northcutt by one Meshack Teal, and that said Teal has fled from justice. I have thought proper, there fore, to issue this, my Proclamation, hereby offer ing areward of ONE HUNDRED dollars tor i the apprehension and delivery of the said Teal to Ithe Sheriff’ of said county and State. And 1 do moreover charge and require all of ficers in this State, civil and militar , to be vigi i lant in endeavoring to apprehend the said Me shack Teal, in order that he may be brought to trial for the offence with which he stands charged. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State, at the Capitol in Milledgeville, this 31st day of August in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fifty-five and of the Independence of the United States of America the eightieth.

SUBSCRIPTION ONLY One Dollar per annum. The Wkerly Examiner will after the first day of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the low price of ONE DOLLAR per annum, paya abie invariably in advance. Many reasons have induced the proprietor of this paper to embark in an enterpriac never tie 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 lie 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 the Weekly Examiner, we from and after the period designated will forwaid it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and this will [dace it within the reach of the poor, as well as the rich. To politics, news, and literature,the Examiner will be devoted. < >ur 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 confident e, to the maintenance of her rights, and a strict adherence to the Constitution. The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this piper shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the South Atlanta occupies a position, and embra ces facilities, for the receipt and transiniiMion of NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad vantage will be taken of th'w, to make the EX AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers, who, in the main, subscribe lor weekly papci a only. The Literary and Miscellaneous Department will al-o receive a large share of attent on. During the session of our Legislature, one of the Editors will Lie present to report the proceed ings of that Body, loi the Daily Examiner—these reports will be trnnaterred to the weekly and each subscriber to it, will thus have a complete hlktory of the session. A eoncyondent to furnish the proceedings of C< ngress, 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 aui>«:ribers to the Eiam iner. A large and fine assortment of new type has been ordered, and is now on its way tr»m New York. We hope to receive it in time lor 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 l>otli. In adventuring upon this novi enteipitse —one so imporiant to Geoigia.and lheSouth—the Pro prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the first established paper in the Blate, or the South, with a large circulation, thut has reduced its terms, thut it uiiiy be w rthin the reachol any man. Aa such, it is Imped and believed that the enter prise will prosper. We appeal then to the people to subscribe; particularly do we call upon the DEMOCRACY and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to standby us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed piper equal in its every department,to any week- Southorn paper.
