We must pass briefly over the third head of Dr. Miller’s subject, the foreigner. The speaker boldly took his ground—vve give his exact words as vve took them down.— j “ No man ought to have office here, but a native.” “ It was wrong to entrust our flag to mercenaries any where.” “He was bitter ly opposed to a foreign party here. He wanted no Irish, no Dutch party here—all should be American—they should tear out : of their hearts all love for another country. How Statues are Made.

And upon the authority of this veracious chronicler, “ they say,” and of Mr. Stephens, Dr. Miller had the cheek to declare that Reeder was sent by Gen.

In a recent number of the Charleston M. rcury, we fin-1 in full, the Constitution, By-Laws and Ordinances of the Grand Na tional Know Nothing Council of the United States. Coming from a paper of such sober merit, we accept this article as genu ine, and will, in safe quantities, eke it out to the readers of this paper. It is too good, as it is too long, to be read all at once. Article first of the Constitution, declares ; the name and title of the organization, and • extends its jurisdiction “to all the States, i Districts and Territories of the United \ States of North America,” including, we [ suppose the Northern States of this Union, ! where all the members of their order aro i Freesoilers and Abolitionists. Article second is too well known to re- ; quire any exposal here. It is the same i which has been incorporated in all the j platforms of the party, and nrofesse* to pro- 1 tect every American citizen in the free exer- I cise of his civil and religious rights, by the I appointment of none but native born Protes- ] tant citizens to office. ! Section first of Article third, pi ascribes j the requisites f >r membership, a part of this we c ipy verbatim : “A person to become a member of any subordinate council must be twenty-one years of age, he must believe in the existence of a Supreme Being, as the creator and preserver of the universe. lie must be a native born citizen, a Protestant: either born of Protestant parents or reared | under Protestant influence, and not united j in marriage with a Roman Catholic.” * ' + | “And Provided moreover, that no member j who may have a R >man Catholic wife shall j be eligible to office in this Order.” The Council having extended its influence over every thing else under heaven, here resolves itself into an ecclessiastical court, and de termines upon questions of marriage. A new era this in politics, truly, when the quality of the religion of a man’s wife, is to he the meisure of his position in the State. We were aware that the consorts of the Kings and Queens of England were required to be Protestants, lmt that such a test was to be applied to the humble and independent voter of America, is a matter astounding to us indeed. If Jacobinism or abosolutism knows a worse tyranny than this, pray re veal it. The sec >nd section sat’s :—“There shall be an interval of three weeks between the conferring of the first and second degrees ; and of three months between the conferring of the sec itid and third degrees,” ami more on the subject of degrees, not very impor tant here. We wonder what Benjamin Franklin would think of degrees in politics. We would walk barefoot an hundred miles, to see the Fatners of the Revolution, sit in c msufia ion on this subject. They were men whose politics were mark ed by free and open-eyed thought, and prompt and straightforward action, and we imagine that they would poorly recog nize that system which, by degrees, teaches men to love and protect their country. It will be impossible for us, within ordinary bounds, to review each section and article of this extrordinary document. We will there fore content ourselves with selecting the parts we deem most interesting. Section 5th of Article 3d, vests the Na tiotial Council with the following power and privileges : “ It shall l>e the head of the or ganization for the United S ates of Ameri ca, and shall fix and establish all signs, grips, p-tsswords, an 1 suck other secret work, as may seem to it necessary.” Great Jupiter! what comment can we make! Let it be framed and hung side by side with our Con stitution and the Declaration of Independ ence, and together with the noblest passages of these two great instruments, let it be read that the National Council for the Unit ed Siates of N irth Auiexica “ 3hall fix and establish all signs, grips and passwords.”— Enough ! In all conscience, enough, say we. This paper abounds with too many articles of this kind to allow each one more than a passing notice. Here is another :— “It” (the National Council) “ shall have power to decide all matters appertaining to national politics.” After having prescribed the religion of a man’s wife it is not at all astonishing that they should measure out his politics. Further on the Council adopts the castigating process of administering po litical instructions. “ It shall have the power to determine upon a mode of pun ishment in case of any dereliction of duty on the part of its members or officers.” The article on hieroglyphics we will leave to speak for itself and with it close the sub ject. “It shall have the power to adopt ca balistic characters for the purpose of writ ing or telegraphing, said character to be communicated to the Presidents of the State Councils, and by them to the Presidents of tbe subordinate Councils.” JUaylug of the Corner Stone of Hie Med* leal College. At a very early hour on Saturday morn ing a large concourse of people assembled at the City Hall to hear the address initia tory to the In vinsr of the corner stone of tbe Atlanta Medical College. The Hall was crowded to its utmost extent and many were forced to remain standing without. We have rarely ever heard a more beautiful address than that of our talented young ; townsman, Mr. H. D. Beeman, on this occasion; chaste but stirring, eloquent throughout, it is difficult to conceive of any thing more appropriately fitted to the cir cumstances which called it forth. It were idle to attempt a more accurate account of Mr. Beeman’s speech, those who have heard it will well remember it; to those who have not, no pen of our’s can supply the defi ciency. The ceremonies at the Hall having been completed, a procession was formed in the ; yard below for the purpose of proceeding to the site of the future College. After the band of music, were arranged the citizens, followed by the Fire Company, and after wards came the Odd Fellow and Masonic ■ Fraternities. In this order the company marched until near the plaee selected for the building. The positions were then re versed, the Masons taking the lead. When the parties had all assembled on the ground, an appropriate prayer was de livered by the Rev. Russel Reneau. The Deputy Grand Master of the Masonic fra ternity. Major A. A. Gaulding, after a few happy remarks, ended to the ceremony of laying the corner stone. Suitable memorials of the times, were deposited within the cavity, and covered by tbe placing of the stone, and thus was laid the foundation of an institution, destined, wo believe, under the industrious control of its present mana gers, at no distant day to rival the noblest in the country. With hut a small portion on the part of the citizens, of the energy manifested by the Trustees and Professors, Atlanta will soon be graced with a beauti ful College, devoted to the diffusion ol Medical learning, worthy of herself, and of the men whose auspices, it was com menced. When the ceremonies at the building had been completed, the company departed for their homes, well pleased with the manner in which all had been conducted. The Sew Bible. The Know Nothings are striving to enter in—not at the “ straight gate,” but into of fice upon the strength of their piety. The other night Dr. Miller said that in his part of the country che old people had pasted the K. N.

But a Know Nothing’s Bible is no doubt like the Constitution of his country, a nice thing to make game of. Th8 Doctor said the great trouble with ■ heir platform was whereabouts in the Bible was the proper place to pa-.te it? Let us help him to a thought. Paste it fur the present in the Apocrypha, and after the first of October among the Deaths. N. B. No charge for advice.

' Percussion on Fulminating Powder. If the word “ diabolical ” can be proper ty applied to any substance that chemical artifice has produced, it certainly belongs to this, which, from the terrific power and force of its explosion, truly deserves that title. The extraordinary power of fulmi nating mercury, or, as it is commonly term- : ed, percussion powder, prohibits its use as a projectile, because we have not made any quantity at once. Sufficient to project a bull or bomb shell would compleiely shatter a cannon on the instant of explosion. It is a strange mixture that produces fulminat ing powder—such a combination as none but a true chemist would think of making. Fulminate is prepared, with nitric acid, 1 (extracted from saltpetre) alcohol, (that is, spirits of wine) and mercury. These sub- ; stauces are the representatives of the atmos pheric, the botanic, aud mineral portions of tlie world: and although they are here uni ted, they have but little affinity to each other, and are only waiting to fly asunder at the slightest call. Tho fall of a feather upon pure fulminating powder will some- : times cause it to explode. We would de- ; scribe the method of its manufacture, did 1 we not fear to do so lest some of our inge nious readers should attempt to produce it. | None but persons of the greatest experi- 1 ence should ever touch it. Not long ago, : the principal operative at Apothecaries’ Hall, a man extremely cautious and of pro- f und experience, was shivered to pieces while drying an ounce of it. As a means of igniting gunpowder, it has proved in warfare of great service, as it adds to the force of the powder. Eight and | a half parts of powder fired with percus- ' sion caps are quite equal in force to ten ! parts of gunpowder fired in the old way by means of the “pan and flint.” One ounce ■ of fulminate is more than enough charging | a thousand caps. In charging thecaps the : fulminate is mixed with a quarter of its weight and of water and half its weight i of gunpowder; the whole is then ground together with a wooden muiler upon a niar- ' ble slab. Purcussion powder, like gunpowder, owes ; its terrific force to the concentration into a 1 solid form of the elements of air in the im ■ mediate juxtaposition of combustible mate- : rials which, when fired, nssume instantane- i ously the air, shape and bulk which is by i the heat developed at the instant of oxplo- ; sion, fearfully increased in size. All sub- j stances that contain a great deal of oxygen will “ explode more or less when in contact •vith combustibles, although not included 1 in the category of warlike stores.” Thus, j at Gateshead, during the late fire there, dreadful explosions took ploce, although no : gunpowder was present. Some of the ware- i houses contained vast quantities of nitrate ; of soda, a substance of similar composition j to that of nitrate of potash, (salpetre.)— ; Thus, naptha and the sulphur being mixed with this, formed a compound precisely siin- | ilar to, although not identical with gunpow- | der. Chemists are, however, acquainted with many substances far more explosive than fulminate, such as chloride of nitrogen, a pound of which would annihilate the strongest fort in the world. Political.—The States of Alabama. Ar kansas, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri and Texas, hold their State elections on the first Monday in August; Tennessee on the first Thursday of the same month, aud North Carolina on the second Thursdav. The “ republican ” or fusion candidates nominated by the convention at Columbus are Salmon P. Chase for governor, lieuten ant governor T. H. Ford, auditor T. M. Wright, treasurer W. A. Gibson, secretary J. II. Baker, attorney general B. F. Kim ball, president board of public works, A. G. Conover; for judges of the supreme court C. C. Converse, Jacob Brinckerhoff. The K. N. State Council of Louisiana not only repudiated the action of tbe Philadel phia convention as to the religious test, but uctually i minated for Governor a gentle man wht a Roman Catholic. A gr. political meeting was held in Lexingtoo, Ky., on the 9th inst., at which lion. James B. Beck, one of the most distin guished whig lawyers of that city, and James B. Clay son o' the great statesman, and occupier of “Ashland,” made addresses to the multitude—in which they denounced the Hindoo object and organization, in most decided terms. Mr. Clay called upon all who had any respect for the name of “whig” or its associations, to come out from the anti-republican and secret “order.” This was Mr. Clay’s first appearance as a public speaker, and he appears to have been deci dedly successful. Dismissal of Foreign School Teachers. —Louisville, July 13.—The Board of Trus tees of the public Schools of this city have dismissed several teachers of foreign birth with Catholic proclivities. Their action has occasioned much feeling, and meets with general condemnation on the part of the members of the old Whig party. [From the New York Daily Time*.'] The Ties of Blood .—Am erica and tho British Presa. The London Press does not recover from its astonishment at the lack of sympathy on the part of Americans with their Eng lish brethren fighting in the Crimea.— Waiving all discussion as to the merits of the controversy, they cannot understand how one great branch of the Anglo-Saxon family can see another eugaged in so bloody a war, with so little emotion. The mere fact of brotherhood—tbe identity of race and language, and a community of political principles, ought, in their opinion, to make a British triumph quite as dear to an Amer ican as to a British heart. And they de nounce us without stint, as false to our ori gin and our race, as forgetful of the sacred ties of consanguinity, for the evident indif ference with which we watch the doubtful fortunes of the war that rages in the dis tant East. We might attach some weight to these remonstrances, so warmly and pathetically urged, if experience bad not revealed their hypocrisy. We remember very well the tone of the British Press when we were en gaged in war. We remember how little ties of blood, identity of language and of race, and all that sort of thing went for then. Instead of rejoicing in Anglo-Saxon valor, and sharing with us the exultations of victory, our British brethren expended their energies in sneering at our Generals, ridiculing our armies, carricaturing our bat tles, falsifying us in every possible man ner. That we may not be thought too sweeping in thus characterising the lan guage of the British Press, we copy two, out of the multitude of articles they devot ed to the Mexican war—one from the Lon don Times and the other from the News— and we appeal to them for evidence of our statement that no hing could be more in- -uiting or offensive to our national pride, than the language then used by our affec tionate brethren across the water. The reader of these articles will not fail to notice how exactly their censures, then vented upon us, now fail upon their own heads. “It is now,” says the limes, (in 1847,) “its much a matter of debate in the Senate why the war was commenced, as how it is to be conducted and when it is to be con cluded.” Could any phrase more accurate ly describe the recen debates in Parliament? “In the public law of the new world,” adds the limes, “a status belli will be equivalent to a casus belli, and no further justification of a war need be sought for, beyond the fact of its existence. Is not this precisely the principle on which the Times itself now daily insists upon the necessity of prosecu ting the war? The Americans, moreover, says the Times had no' very exact idea of the object of their war—and least of all how it was to be attained—“what they were to win and how they were to keep it, were points on which the event showed they had uo settled opinion.” Is the case very dif ferent with the English in the present war? The Mexicans, moreover, are the hardest of all nations to conquer: “they have abun dance of room, and can always elude a bat tle : they have no centre «f power at whhic a mortal blow can be aimed ; they have the advantage, as well as the disadvantage, of a low political organization, aud are far more easily scotched than killed.’* Has not the Times found this to be quite as true of Russia as of Mexico? But in its jeers at the American army, our Anglo-Saxon brother becomes conspicu ously facetious and prophetic. Evidently unconscious, like all who prognosticate the future, of the full meaning of his words, the Times, pretending to sketch the condition of the American army in 1849, describes the English in 1855. “They have no army, aud have constitutional objections to raising one.” Wo advertised for 10,000 volunteers, and 300,000 offered their services; England has in vain tried to raise 20,000 at home, bought the services of a small force in Sar- dina, called on her Colonies for help, and has finally sent agents to steal aid, under false pretences, from the United States !— “ They have no money, and are resolutely determined to find none.” We paid the whole cost of the war with less than Eng land has spent in fairly commencing hers. “ They have no Generals, and have just agreed never to have one.” Our Generals. such as they were, succeeded in everythin;: they undertook: the Briti h Generals thus far have done nothing but inspire their countrymen with a lively sense of their ig norance and imbecility. Yet, “ they have either to continue a war of which nobody can tell the cost or the conclusion, or to con fess their folly and helplessness by a ridicu lous retreat.” How could language more accurately describe the condition of the English at Sebastopol, except that for them retreat is quite as impossible as conquest? And the Times closes its article by an elabo rate picture of the cost of war,—which, however, would not in the least answer for its own. “ By the present English plan of operations against Russia,” said the Times as long ago as March 15, 11 forty thousand lives and sixty millions of dollars have al ready been expended in tbe siege of Sebas topol.” Since that time these figures have been doubled! The London News, with a similar display of brotherly love, makes itself merry over the exposure of American troops to the miasma of a tropical climate, which will “ kill them off like vermin in the mephitic grotto dell cane.” The idea is cer tainly amusing; we do not care, however, to extend the comparison to the troops now exposed to the pestilential vapors created by the hot sun of the Crimea falling upon thousands of half-buried corpses in the Al lied camp. We might fill our columns with articles similiar to those we copy this morning from the London Times and News upon our war with Mexico. No thought of brotherhood, —no ties of blood, then deterred the Eng lish press from exulting over everything that promised defeat to the American arms, —or from denouncing with the utmost viru lence every step we took to subdue our ene my and prosecute the war to a successful is sue. They have no right to forget all this, or to expect at our hands sympathy and en couragement in return for contumely and scorn. 19-At a Democratic meeting held in Milledgeville on the 14th inst., Maj. Iverson L. Harris arose aud explained the reasons which had impelled him, as an old Whig, to act, in the present condition of parties in Georgia, with the Democratic party. He said he was not a democrat, but believed that the democratic party was the only sound National Party now in existence: and to defeat the principles of Know-Nothing- ism, he is ready to co-operate with that party. Know Nothing Patriotism—Mutilation of the Declaration of Independence ! !—The Empire State, referring to the celebration of the 4th of July in Griffin, Ga., says that the Declaration of Independence, or a part of it, was read by Hon. John J. Flovd. That part which charges the King of Great Britain with “endeavoring to prevent the popula tion of these States; for that purpose ob structing the laws for the naturalisation of foreigners,” Ac., was not read by Mr. Floyd. When, we ask, was it ever before found necessary or expedient to omit this passage on reading tbe Declaration of Independence? Has it come to this that the Magna Charta of American Liberty is to be mutilated be cause certain portions of it oonflict with the interests of a party!
