down. Then ensued a terrible scene: the
Irish firing from the windows of their
houses on Main street repeated volleys.—
Mr. Rhodes, a river man, was shot and kill
ed by one in the upper story, and a Mr.
Graham met with a similar fate. An Irish
man who had discharged a pistol at the
back of a man’s head was snot and then
hung. He, however, survived both punish
ments. John Hudson, a carpenter, was
shot dead during the fracas.
After dusk, a row' of frame houses on
Main street, between 10th and 11th, the
property of Mr. Quinn, a well-known Irish
man, was Bet on fire. The flames extended
across the street, and twelve buildings were
destroyed. These houses were chiefly ten
anted by Irish, and upon any of the ten
ants venturing out to escape the flames they
were immediately shot down. No idea
could be formed of the number killed. We
arc advised that five men were roasted to
death, having been so badly wounded by
gun shot wounds that they could not escape
from the burning buildings.
Of all the enormities and outrage com
mitted by the American party yesterday and
last night, we have not time now to write.
The mob having satisfied its appetite for
blood, repaired to Third street, and until
midnight made demonstrations against the
Times and Democrat offices. The furious

The Louisville Riots!
Full Details Of tlie Bloody Trag
edy !!
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED !!!
Exciting and Shocking Scenes MM
The Louisville papers of Tuesday, receiv
ed yesterday, brings us full accounts of the
terrible riots which disgraced that city on
Monday, and brought sorrow and distress
upon numerous poor families. The Couri
er, from which we copy at first, was a strong
K. N. journal, until within a few weeks of
the election, when it gave offence to that or
der by opposing their candidate for Con
gress:
[From the Louisville Courier.]
We passed yesterday through the forms
of an election. As provided by the statue,
the polls were opened, and privileges gran
ted to such as were “right upon the goose
question,” with a few exceptions, to exercise
their elective franchise. Never, perhaps, was
there a greater farce; or as we should term it,
tragedy—enacted. Hundres and thousands
were deterred from voting by direct acts of
intimidation, others through fear of the con
sequences, and a multitude from tho lock
of proper facilities. The city, indeed, du
ring the day was in possession of an armed
mob, the base passions of which was infuri
ated to tho highest pitch by the incendiary 1
appeals of the newspaper organ and the lea
ders of the K. N. party.
On Sunday night, large detachments of
armed men were sent to tlie first and sec
ond wards, to see that the polls were pro
perly opened. These men tho “American
Executive Committee” supplied with requi
site refreshments, and as may be imagined,
they were in a fit condition yesterday morn
ing to see that the rights of freemen were
respected. Indeed, they discharged the im
portant trust committed to them in such a
manner as to commend them for ever to the
admiration of outlaws! They opened the
polls; they provided ways and means for
their own party to vote; they buffed and
bullied all who could not show the sign;
they in fact, converted the election into a
perfect farce, without one redeeming phase.
We do not know when or how their plan
of operations was devised. Indeed we do
not care to know when such a system of
outrage—such perfidy—such dastardy—was
conceived. We only blush for Kentucky—
that her soil was the scene of such outrages,
and that some of her sous were participants
in the nefarious swindle.
It would be impossible to know wlieu or
b"-v this riot commenced. By day-break,
polls were taken possession of by the
American party, and iu pursuance of [tho
preconcerted game, they used every strata
gem and device to hiudor the vote of every
man who could not manifest his soundness
on the K. N. question to the “guardians of
the polls.” Ivo were personally witness to
the proceedure of the party in certain wards,
and of these we feel authorized to speak.—
At the seventh ward we discovered that for
three hours in the outset in the morning it
was impossible for those not “posted” to
vote without the greatest difficulty. In tlie
sixth ward a party of bullies were masters
of the polls. We saw two foreigners driv
en from the polls, forced to run a gauntlet,
beat unmercifully, stoned and stabbed. In
the case of one fellow, the Hon. W. Thoin-
asson, formerly a member of Congress from
this district, interfered, and while appeal
ing to the maddened crowd to cease their
acts of violence, Mr. Thomasson was struck
from behind and beat. Ilis gray hairs, his
long public service, his manly presence,
and his thorough Americanism, availed
nothing with the crazed mob. Other and
serious fights occurred in the sixth ward, of
which we have no time to make mention

The more serious and disgraceful disturb
ances occurred in the upper wards. The
vote cast was but a partial one, and nearly
altogether on one siae. No show was given
to the friends of Preston, who were largely
in the majority, but who, in the face of can
non, musket and revolvers, could not, being
an unarmed aad quiet populace, confront
the mad mob. So the vote was cast one
way, and the result stands before the pub-
lie.
In the morning, George Berg, a carpen
ter living on the corner of 9th and Market,
was killed near Hancock street. A Ger
man named Fitz, formerly a partner at the
Gulf House, was severely, if not fatally,
beaten.
In the afternoon a genera! row occurred
on Shelby street, extending from Main to
Broadway. We are unable to ascertain the
facts concerning the disturbance. Some
fourteen or fifteen men were shot, including
officer Williams, Joe Selvage, and others.
Two or three were killed, and a number of
houses, chiefly German coffee houses, brok
en into and pillaged. About 4 o’clock,
when the vast crowd, augmented by acces
sions from every part of the city, and arm
ed with shot guns, muskets and rifles, were
proceeding to attack the Catholic Church
on Shelby street, Mayor Barbee arrested
them with a speech, and the mob returned
to the first ward polls. Presently a large
party arrived with a piece of brass ordnance,
followed by a number of men and boys with
muskets. In an hour afterwards the large
brewery on Jefferson street, near the junc
tion of Green, was set fire to.
in the lower part of the eity the disturb
ances were characterized by a greater de
gree of bloody work Law in the afternoon
crowd satisfied itself, however, with break
ing a few window panes and ’ burning the
sign of the Times office.
At 1 o’clock this morning a large fire is
raging in the upper part of the city.
Upon the proceedings of yesterday and
last night we have no time nor heart to
comment. We are siokened with the very
thought of men murdered, aud houses burn
ed and pillaged, that signalized the Ameri
can victory yesterday. Not less than twen
ty corpses from the trophies of this wonder
ful achievement.
[From tho Louisville Democrat.]
The election during yesterday was, as
near as could be, all one sided, the most un
fair means being resorted to by the Know-
Nothings to crowd other voters from the
polls.
In the first ward the most intense excite
ment prevailed for some time, and the polls
were surrounded by a large crowd. When
ever a Know-Nothing voter approached the
crowd he was hoisted right over the heads
of all and landed at the door, ready to de
posit his vote. Several disgraceful fights
occurred, and one man by the name of
Burch, who had, with others, ehased an
Irishman from the polls, was in turn beset,
beaten nearly to death, and knocked sense
less by the man he had been chasing.—
Marshal Kidd, we learn, subsequently ar
rested the Irishman.
In tho sixth ward several disgraceful
scenes occurred, such as six, eight, or a
dozen men pitching into one poor Irishman
and driving him from the polls.
In tho eighth ward it was a one-sided
matter none but yellow ticket chaps having
any chance to get to the polls throughout
the day.
In the seventh ward four men were walk
ing along the street when they were beset
by a crowd, ran off, one of them taking re
fuge in a house corner of 9th and Magazine
streets. The house was stoned, a woman
hurt, and finally one or two of the men
were shot, one of them dangerously. One
of tlie pursued party was the first to shoot,
firing a pistol at the crowd who were ston
ing him and his companions. Some one
came out from*fibouse with a shot ram, and
let drive at t^pragitive. The marshal sub
sequently arrested two of them.
No respectable man can think of the
scenes of yesterday without shame. A
complete system of terror and blood was
established by the Know Nothing purity
or faction. The details are disgusting.
The lawlessness was provided for by the
city authorities in allowing but one voting
in a ward. The upper and lower
wards were not exempt.
We have had no election in any Ameri
can sense of the word. Our city is govern
ed, not by law, but by a set of hired scoun
drels who obey the secret commands of
lawless men. it is not worth while to try
to disguise the character of this city.—
There is no law, no police, no justice here.
Our poll-books speak not the voice of the
people but the dictates of a mob.
We never heard of such sceues, much
less have we seen them anywhere. Nor
have such ever been witnessed in this coon-
try. This sort of proceedings was antici
pated. It came fully up to all that had
been threatened, aud surpassed anything
anticipated, unscrupulous as we know the
secret party. If the election in Louisville
yesterday was legal and is to stand, then
the right of suffrage in Kentucky is mock-
ry. There is no freedom here and no law.
gcounderlism is triumphant.
We have found means to subvert the laws
of numbers at the polls by violence, and
passed off as legal. If the example of Louis
ville wore generally followed, the liberties
of this country would be ended.
The abovo are all the accounts we find in
the Louisville papers. The reporters and
printers seem to have been bo much frigh
tened as to be unable to attend to their
business. The Courier has the following
apology:
“Threats repeatedly made during yester
day evening and last night that the mob
would attack our office, created snob a stam
pede among our printers (many of whom by
the way are Know Nothings,) they could
not be induced to work. We are consequen
tly unable to give all the news we have col
lected, this morning, and must throw our
selves on the clemency of our readers.”
Statement of an eye-witness.
We find in the Indianapolis Sentinel the
following letter from Louisville, Kentucky,
written by a gentleman who was present
during the dreadful scenes which he des
cribes :
Louisville, Aug. 7. 1855.
Editors Sentinel:—It is with feelings of
deep mortification that I set down to detail
the horrible scenes of yesterday. If what I
witnessed is a fair specimen of “Americans
rulling America,” then the elective franchise
is mockery and liberty and empty delu
sion.
The Know Nothing blacklegs and- pro
fessional gamblers, who are all members of,
the Order, had bet largely on the result of
the election. To win their bets by fraud
and violence, hundreds of, armed bullies
were transported to the city. Their plans
were concocted in Know Nothing lodges.
Their signs and signals were all understood
aud during the terrible day they were
faithfully aud promptly executed.
On Monday morning, at 4 o’clock, the
places of voting in the 1st and 8th wards,
which are the strong Democratic precincts,
were taken possession of by the Know-
Nothings. A few of the old Democratic
citizens in these wards were permitted to
vote in the morning, but all others, who were
unable to give the signs were rudely thrust
from the polls. This state of things pre
vailed to a greater or less extent in all the
wards. If an Irishman or German attempt
ed to approach the polls, he was driven back
with bloody missiles. Native-born Ameri
can citizens who were unable to give the
proper signs and signals, shared the same
fate. To entitle a citizen to the privilege of
a voter, he must, to use the Know-Nothing
tearing down tho business houses, aud pri
vate dwellings occupied by German citi
zens. A rush was then made for the Cath
olic Church, and the cry, fire their “damned
Popish den,” rang out. The Mayor ap-

they fired the building, and it was burned to
ashes. The Know-Nothing fire-companies
appeared on the ground, but did nothing
except to carry off the beer and ale casks.— ,
But the most terrible and heart-rending
scene occurred in the lower part of the city,
where the Irish population principally re
side.
About six o’clock in the evening, the K.
N. bullies, armed to the teeth with muskets
and a large brass cannon, under the control
of Capt. Stone, proceeded to that part of the
city. Every Irishman that made his ap
pearance was assaulted and beaten. The
groceries in that vieinity were broken in,
their contents scattered over the streets,
and the liquors divided among tho thirsty
crowd. A general fight ensued, shots were
fired from the houses that were being
stoned, and a number on both sides were
killed and wounded.
The buildings on both sides of Main street,
between 10th and 11th, were fired. Every
Irishman who showed himself was shot
down. Here followed a scene which neither
tongue or pen can describe. My heart
sickens at the recital.
Men lying dead in the street, women who
carried ont the bedding and household
goods were assaulted, ana their agonizing
cries for mercy were met by mocking groans
of derision. I saw a poor Irish woman
with an infant clinging to her neck, trying
to save her bed, kicked across the street,
and her bed burned, the Know-Nothing
fiend crying in derision to her, “Worship
the Pope, will you ?” “ We?U learn you that
Americans will rule America.” It is im
possible to tell the number of killed ; one
man was hang, and five burned alive.
About 11 o’clock the signal was given to
demolish the Democrat and limes printing
offices. A rush was then made, but Pren
tice thinking it was time to stop, appealed
to them to desist, which they did, after
ed vote for Johnson.
Did Tow Ever 1—A Golltwhopper.
We cut the subjoined extract from a K.
N. paper wet from the press. Such con
founding, astounding and resounding argu
mentation has had no parrallel since the
days of the Brobdignags.
If Mr. Hill should, by some funny
mischance, get to Congress, it will be a na
tional calamity that the extension wing of
his end of the Capitol will be in an unfin
ished state on his arrival at Washington.—
Such an expansive genius can’t speak in
the present cramped structure. Mercy, to
think of the prodigious utterance of the
man ? That we are taxed every year $400,-
000,000 to feed beggars—foreign beggars !
Sixteen dollars tax for each man, woman
and baby in the land!! Then, O spirit of
the departed Dabol, to think of that crowd
of two hundred thirty-four millions of va
grants that came here last year. Merciful
cholera, redeeming black vomit, what would
have saved us from this bloody horde if they
had not been removed from this “ land of
the brave and the home of the free,” thro’
yoor blessed agency, to Abraham’s bosom.
What do these wild hunters mean ? Have
they perverted even their type so that they
can’t print the truth, or is blundering a real
Know-Nothing right, imprescriptible and
inalienable?
One word to Mr. Hill. Will he be so
good, as to allow us to ask in the most, re

have not learned this morning the result of
their doings. This is a specimen of “Amer
icans ruling America !” If it is to prevail,
then there is no security for life, liberty, or
property. Daring the scenes of bloodshed
and riot in the 8tu ward, no attempt was
made by the Know-Nothing Mayor to ar
rest the mob or prevent bloodshed and mur
der. No attempt was made by the police to
arrest any one. Peaceable citizens were
shot down, and their murderers permitted,
with loaded guns, to stalk around, in search
of more victims. But this letter is already
too long. I have no comments.
AN EYE-WITNESS.
. The New York Mirror thinks Georgia
and Virginia are earnestly preparing for a disso
lution of the Union; while the Abolition press of
the North, with its daily irritations, we are told,
is goading even the cooler classes of the South in
to a state of indignation, which will inevitably
lead to rash and reckless action. The editor adds.
“ A distinguished gentleman and statesman,
who has just returned from a tour through the
Southern States, informs us that the prevading
feeling of the South is fearfully determined a-
gainst the North; and that they are preparing,
not only for an independent confederation, bat
are looking towards a free trade alliance with En
gland. And notwithstanding all the ravings of
the British Abolitionists against American slave
ry, should the day ever come, England wonld be
the first to take the South by the hand, and court
her for her cotton more than she has ever cursed
her for her slaves.”
Treatment of the Yellow Fever.
Captain John P. Levy, late of the U. S. Trancs-
port ship American, who has had hundreds of cases
of yellow^ fever under treatment, says he never
knew of a case terminating fatally after observing
the following directions. Dissolve in a wine glass
of water a table-spoonful of common salt, and poor
the same into a tumbler, adding the juice ef a whole
lemon, and two wine glasses of castor oil. The
whole to be taken at one dose, (by an adult.) Then
a hot [mustard foot-bath, with a hanfnl of salt in
the water—the patient to be well wrapped in blan
kets, until prespiration takes place freely. On
removal to bed, the feet of the patient to be wrapped
in the blanket. Afterwards, apply mustard plas
ters to the abdomen, legs and soles of the feet. If
the headache is very aente, apply mustard plas
ters to the abdomen, legs and soles of the feet—
If headache is very acute apply mustard plasters
to the head and tomelps. After the fever has been
broken, take forty grains of quinine and forty
drops of elixir of vitriol to a quart of water. Dose
—wineglass full three times a day. Barly water,
lemonade, and ice water, may be used in moder
ation.

heard ourselves at the City Hall, and hoped
never to hear again, but we learn the same
statement has been made again and again
by Mr. Hill. But we keep our readers from
the extract:
Ben. F. Hill, the candidate for Congress
in the 4th District, made a speech of about
two hours, length, in which, by arguments
clear and unanswerable, he established the
correctness of the American principles and
the necessity of their adoption for the per
petuity of our rights and institutions.
He challenged oontradlction to the follo
wing facts: That the United States are tax
ed 400 millions dollars anually to support
foreign paupers—234millions vagrants lan
ded upon our shores in the year 1854 (by
vagrants be means persons too lazy to work
ana not too good to steal)—foreigners com
mitted more than one-half of all the high
crimes in the United States in 1854—only
269 millions foreigners settled in our coun
try during the first 40 years of the existence
of our government. His remarks upon
those and other statistics that he read, and
the legitimate conclusions he drew from
them were highly edifying, aud cannot be
successfully controverted.—Dome Courier.

It is a well-settled fact that Know Koth-
ingism in Tennessee at least, is auti-Nebras-
kaism. Four of the candidates of that par
ty, Collum, Taylor, Etheridge and Bugg,
had folly committed themselves on the pas
sage of the bill by voting against it. The
remainder, we suppose, like their leader,
Gentry, were mum on the question. In vo
ting for these men the Knew Nothings of
Tennessee endorsed their opinions, and com
mitted their party in opposition to the Kan-
sas-Nebraska act.
Another evidence that such is their posi
tion is the fact that many of the most influ
ential papers in the State are now advocat
ing the claims of the Hon. John Bell, an
other anti-Nebraska man, to the Presiden
cy. Where do their friends in Georgia
stand on this question ?

they were not born in the United States.—
Among this latter class are J. J. Seibels,
charge to Belgium, S. Medary, Minister to
Chili; Max Steltemier, Consul to Wurtem-
burg, D. E. Sickles, Secretary of Legation
to London; H. Bedinger, Minister to Den
mark ; P. D. Vroorn, Minister to Prussia,
and other incumbents of high positions.”
As to the number of agents employed in
the foreign service of the United States, who
are foreigners, the explanation is simple
enough. All nations having wide aud ex
tended commercial relations, of necessity,
have many foreigners in their service. The
enterprise and commerce of their people
stretch into regions most remote, with which
the traffic is exceedingly limited, and the
commissioning of regular agents, a matter
of expense by no means compensated in the
advantages derived. The fees and salaries
of Consuls at such stations, are, besides, so
inconsiderable, that none but an established
resident, having other employment, can af
ford to accept of the position. It is there
fore, the common custom among Govern
ments, under these circumstances, to entrust
the slight and occasional discharge of such
duties as may arise, to citizens of the for
eign country itself, whose business and
character justify their confidence. It is,
for the most part, a mere commercial ar
rangement, and the duties which attachcan
generally be best discharged by those who
are fully acquainted with the laws and
usages of the country, and have a personal
interest in the maintenance and promotion
of fair and peaceable relations. That this
is the spirit in which such appointments
are maae, we have ample illustration in the
eases of citizens of this country, in many
places acting as the agents of foreign na
tions. There have been instances of it
again and again in this city. So much for
the principle. What, then, becomes of this
astounding item in Mr. Zollicoffer’s charge,
that “foreign and Catholic influences have
almost got possession of the Government ?”
But, “others are put down in the Blue
Book, without any description of birth
place ;” and hence, our worthy author, in
his strong but indiscriminate scent after
foreign game, marks these down for the
hunt. Heitor, skelter he pitches in, and the
first that brings him to a stand is Mr.
Seibels, who happens to be a thorough
American, and a native son of this State.—
So much for Mr. Zollicoffer’s inferences.—
We shall not pause to measure their justice
as to the other gentlemen named.
“ Seven-tenths of you army, officers and
soldiers, are said to be foreigners, a fourth
of the sailors in your navy.”
Why does Mr. Zollicoffer deal in what
are merely “ said to be ” facts ? He is a
member of Congress, and can have every
facility in ascertaining the truth, without
resorting to the flimsy and unreliable state
ments of rumor, put forth for mere party
purposes, to deceive and excite ? Not hav
ing at hand, however, the means of testing
this allegation, thus based upon rumor, we
will, for the sake of argument, admit it
is true, and what does it amount to ? Is it
a proof of the evil influence of foreigners,
that they are willing to enlist in our army
and navy, and for the meagre compensation
given, bear the brunt and hardships of mil
itary life ? that when enlistment is free to
all, they alone, for the most part, can be
found planting thomselves beneath the flag
of the country, and, whether in the grim
and terrible experiences of the Western
frontiers, exposed to cold, want, and the
mercies of savage hordes, or far away upon
the broad and perilous deep, still defending
the interests and honor of their adopted
land? It is an unfortunate argument for
those who use it; for, whatever have been
the evil influences of foreigners in these
United States, in other respects, certain it
is, that, from the day when liberty first de
fied oppression, in VJ1&, to the present
time, they have borne their full and honor
ed share in oar conflicts upon land and upon
sea.
Bat, as a conclusion to this braucli of
foreign influence, Mr. Zollicoffer tells us
that, “out of 4,304 officers in the various
departments of the General Government in
1854,3,321 are foreigners. Now this charge
had been repeatedly made before, and as
often corrected by tne Administration Organ
at Washington, and Mr. Zolliooffer must
have known how utterly without foundation
it was. But it serves the purpose in hand
—it catches the popular ear, and excites a
bitter sentiment, and hence, it is again put
forth. Mr. Stephens, in his late speech at
Sparta, sums up from the official register
the following statement:
“In all the departments of the Central
Government, including the State Depart
ment, Treasury, Interior, War, Navy, Post
Office, Attorney-General’s Office and Judi
ciary, there are 4,476 officers; of these, 3,-
677 are Americans by birth, and only 469
foreigners; the birthplace of the other, 630
is put down as unknown; and no one de
partment are there more foreigners than
Americans—or even one-third as many.”
But that we may be more explicit, we
give the abstract of the Washington Union,
prepared from the records of the various
departments, with the charge as originally
made by the Know Nothings:

and 332 foreign* born citizens employed,
making about the same ratio. Can anything
be more palpable and crushing than this
simple statement ? And yet it is only the
beginning.
There are crimes,—deep, unpardonable
crimes—which no earthly process can reach
or punish, crimes which strike at all that is
sacred and stable in society; and such we
hold to be the act of him who, standing in
a position of public truBt. and speaking at
a time, with authority, when public ques
tions are stirring the great public heart—
nay, more, when prejudice and passion are
unsheathing the sword, and lighting the
torch, under the honored garb of truth, puts
forth statements false in themselves, and
inflammable in their tendency. It is the
part of Marat and Robespierre.—Charles

“In Keeping.”
It is no uncommon thing for men who ab
jure moral principles as a guide of eondnet,
to hold up some terrestrial object as a god,
and not unfrequently a very detestable ob
ject at that, and then attribute to that ob
ject what is due to the Almighty alone.—
Atlanta Republican.
This far-fetched bit of sanctimonious stu
pidity, it is well enough to say, is part of a
comment of the Republican upon an article
of ours exhibiting the hard work and good
management of the Directoiy of the State
Road for the month of July. If we were
not fully persuaded that the habitual infor-
mity of our neighbor was, to use words with
the same judgment that a monkey does a
razor, wo should feel inclined to regard the
language we have quoted from his article
as offensively personal. This would be un
just, however, for when the flatulent peda
gogue that bosses the Republican talks about
“ abjuring moral principles as a guide of
conduct,” he has not the least suspicion
that he conveys anything more serious or
offensive by this language than a refusal on
our part to make a fool of ourselves about
the liquor another man drinks. Perhaps
this is intended for a second attack in the
Republican upon our profanity. Now per
mit us to tell the pragmatical blunderer of
the Republican, that when a man abjures
moral principles as a guide of conduct he
is in a bad way. Permit us to say another
thing that may be of more personal conse
quence to oar neighbor than this sage prop-
position, i. e., that a man never makes viru
lent and indecent attacks upon a gentleman
in his newspaper for no cause, or drags be
fore the publio the fact of swearing; or of
his absenting himself from church, or any
such matter until he “ abjures ” some him
self. What has the profanity of the Junior
editor of this paper to do with facts we stated
in reference to the business of the State
Road for July. If the Republicun has no
better answer for this than our morals it
had better acknowledge that men may some
times do their duty on a railroad without
being in favor of stopping a man’s grog by
force of law. It is a merry thought indeed,
this discussion now raging in the Discipline
and Republican upon the question, which of
our set is the most deeply pious. Unless
we are badly fooled, all of them have not
more religion than wonld be suitable for
one man, and that the least said about this
little thing will best suit the public taste.
Egyptian Oats.
A valued friend in the interior, writes as
follows: “I read with much interest in your
excellent paper that there is a valuable va
riety of tho oat cultivated in Mississippi,
known as the Egyptian oats. I have been
endeavoring for the last two years to ascer
tain where it is to be procured, bat without
success. I have thought a call in your pa
per would bring it out, and I conld then
take the necessary steps to obtain some
seed. The heads, it is stated, have grown
in that State, to the extraordinary length of
eighteen inches.”
Mr. Thomas Affleck, of Washington,
Miss., was the first, webelieve, to introduce
the Egyptian oats. He could probably fnr-
nisb a few seeds to our correspondent, or at
least inform him where they are to he pro
cured. Will he address James Magoffin,
Esq., St. Stephens ?—Mobile Tribune.
We are satisfied this variety of oat de
serves all the praise it lias received. We,
last harvest, were shown by a distinguished
agriculturist, a standing crop of this grain,
and our opinion asked of it. We objected
that the straw was too short for easy reap
ing on uneven ground, but freely admitted
the head to be unusually full and long.
We pronounced it a first rate poor ground
crop of oats. Our friend replied that he
thought we wore right, but he requested ns
to observe that the oats standing was a
ratoon orop, from stalks that onee stood
breast high. It may be no uncommon
thing for onr ordinary varieties of oat to
throw out a second growth from the old
stubble, but it was something new to us.—
Mr. Richard Peters of this place, has raised
73 bushels of clean Egpptian oats, to an
acre, and from him we believe any quantity
of seed may be procured.

Catholicism in the United States.—
The Boston Transcript says: “Maryland,
the first State where the Roman Catholic
Church gained a footing, now contains
eighthundred and seven Protestant churches
and onlv sixty-five Catholic congregations.
In Florida, the Catholics early made settle
ment. Now there are one hundred and
seventy Protestant, and only five Catholic
Churches ! Louisiana was settled by the
Catholics, who now have fifty-five churches
in the State, while the Protestants have
two hundred and forty-seven congregations.
In Texas, the Catholics were the first sect in
point of time; they now have thirteen
churches, but the Protestants report three
hundred and seven societies in the State.—
The number of Episcopal, Lutheran and
Roman Catholic Churches are nearly the
same throughout the country, but eaeh
of the three denominations have about
one-deoentk of the number of the Metho
dists, scarcely one-eighth that of the Bap
tists, and not one-fourth that of the Presby
terians. The entire Protestant population
of the country, compared with that of the
Catholic is about twelve to one.”
And yet, in the face of these incontrover
tible facte, Know Notbingiam tells us, that
unless Catholics are proscribed they will
Boon control this country and band it over
to the Pope.
MvIb| It Up.
The Savannah Republican is oat in a lea
der urging its party to give up its secrecy,
oaths and cerimonies. The teasoa for the
reform beats any Irish bull, while tesdfe and
green, the order could bear theee dead
weights, in foot they were marvelous helps,
but now in manhood and fall maturity, they
are “restraints to fetter and clog its pro
gress.” The Republican in the progress of
its review of the K. N. party, gives ns we
suppose, “ex-cathedra,” a novel reading of
the late Philadelphia platform. It says.
The late Philadelphia Convention, im
pressed with these convictions, took steps
for the removal of these useless incumbran
ces upon the order. It aboliehed the secre-
oy feature in every particular in which the
moat captious of our enemies have regarded
it as obnoxious, and, at foe same tune,
ohanged the form of all the obligations of
order from an oath or affirmation to a sim
ple pledge of honor, by the party taking it,
to maintain and abide by the principles of
the party as officially promulgated by that
convention.
Now if this is so, it is not in the copy of
that platform that we have, nor in any other
published one. Is there another proof that
even among K. N.’s all things are not “ in
common, and that in matters of most im
portant and fundamental policy the workies
are excluded from privity and concert.
But the most singular part of our cotem
porary’s article, is to be found in those re
grets and complaint* that are urged against
his own party, because the very thing as
serted, as accomplished in the extract we
have just given, was really not done at all.
He says:
We cannot help regretting that the Con
vention did not go even farther, and divest
the order entirely of all formB, ceremonies
and obligations, and place it upon the same
footing with all other political parties.
If we do not construe this language cor
rectly, when we say it contradicts the
manumission of the K. N. laity as asserted
above, we then do not comprehend its
meaning.
Bat the following from this extraordinary
article is absolutely startling:
Nor are we alone in these views. The
order, in many portions of this State, have
the inconvidhee, and, without waiting for
authority from the “powers that be,” nave
thrown aside the useless incumbrance, and
organized upon the Philadelphia and Geor
gia Platforms, preserving only enough of
the origional forms to secure union among
themselves and authority and harmony to
their proceedings. With them the a
who holds to American principles is a
friend and co-worker, intitled to their sym
pathies, and possessing all the rights and
privileges of a member of the party. We
approve of the change, having, long ago,
witnessed the inconvenience, if not the im
policy, of the old system, and its effects in
restricting the perations of the parte,
and retarding ite onward progress. We
hope soon to see the order unfettered
in this regard trroughout the State and
country, and, in the mean time, wonld
be glad to learn from our friends of the
press elsewhere on the subject.
Now what does all this amount to ? Why
first, that the Philadelphia Convention did
not “remove these useless incumbrances,
out of which was drained “the stock in
trade of the various presses and politicians
of the opposition. Secondly, that free white
men, in matters relating to the sacred right
of voting, complain of the inconvenience of
their political fetters, without daring to re
dress themselves like freemen. Thirdly,
that while some do not make this bold ven
ture, others do, and heaven help them, with
out waiting for “authority from the powers
that be.” If this privilege never before
asked for by the most abject in this free
Government has been asserted, as the Re
publican says, we do not see how that conld
have been possible without the violation of
onefs oath “or simplepledge of honor.’’
In either event, the state of the case is
absolutely horrible. Cramped to death,
complaining and reluctant, the alternative
is, either to bear your galling yoke or for
swear yourself and cast it from your neck.
We mean no disrespect, we beg our friends
of the Republican to believe, but it does
seem to us that harsh and damaging as our
conclusions may sound to them, they are
yet inevitable and just. Then the enquiry
comes up, why all this self imposed subor
dination ? this is a term that but poorly
expresses the idea, but why all this irritat
ing and humiliating subordination to » com-
plicated political organism about me simple
a thing as voting to sustain principles that
you believe are sound and good? Can
any truthful mind see now any less call
for secreey, oaths and “ ceremonies ” than
existed six months, two or one
month ago ? Will any honest man deolare
his oonviotion that now or ever, the state of
the Republic made all theee equivocal and
dangerous expedients, a higher law *h*n
the law of the land ? Nothing but necessi
ty can ever be adduced to justify a politi
cal policy as uncongenial and repugnant to
the American sentiment as that aoted upon
by the K. N. party, and where is that neces
sity found. The Republican like the N. Y.
Herald and its Alabama confreres gives op
its party to the condemnation of the wholp
country, when it avows that in its proscrip
tion and secrecy, it is not to be defended
longer. A party that sets ont by committing
snob fatal blunder*, evinces either such a
want of principle or such a want of judg
ment as deprives it of publio confidence.
[Fran the Charleston Moreary.]
Oea. IsUlcsArU Speech.
We pass now to the broader view of for
eign influence; and that the whole subject
may be perfectly clear before our readers,
we nave prepared an accurate table from
the census of 1850, which exhibits at a
glance the question, so far as the figures are
ooncerned. We have not taken Into con
sideration the foreign accession since that
date, for several reasons. First, because
there does not exist any accurate statistical
data, and we are unwilling to avail ourselves
of Mr. Zollicoffer’s sliding scale. We are
free to admit that since 1850 the emigration
of foreigners has been very great; but there
bring no reliable tables snowing what pro
portion have survived disease and destitu
tion, we are compelled to fall back upon the
last authontio and official statements. Sec
ondly, when it is remembered that the whole
S iuestion is one of comparison, that if the
oroign population has increased, the nathte
has increased also, it will appear not only
necessary, but just, that the census of 1850
should be the basis of discussion. The fol
lowing is the table:

From Norfolk and Portsmouth.—We
have very little farther intelligence from
Norfolk and Portsmouth. Tbs Washington
Star of Saturday evening learns through

the ravages of the yellow fever in Norfolk,
it having spread throughout the eity, and
many of the most influential citizens have
been or -ire down with it. For the 48 hoars
ending r 1 P. M., there were 18 death* in

it will be seen by the above table, that of
the total white population, native and for
eign, in the United States in 1850, 13,368,-
591 were at the North, and 6,184,477 at the
South. Of the foreign population 1,928,-
778 were at the North, and but 311,757 at
the 8outh! And that in the South the ra
tio of the foreign to the native population
was as 1 to 18. This disparity will appear
still more striking when- we examine the
statistics of each State. In North Caroli
na the foreigners are but 2,565 to 550,463
natives. In South Carolina, 8,508 to 266,-
055 natives. In Georgia, 6,452 to 515,120
natives. And so on through the South.
Now. if it is impossible, with these facts
before us, to stifle the question, what have
we, what has the South, to do in this mat
ter? Why should we enlist in this war up
on foreigners, when they constitute a most
trifling and insignificant item among us?—
Stir to its bitter depths a national jealousy;
array class against class, and race against
race; excite the sense of danger, ana arm
every city, village, and neighborhood for
resistance; convert our peaceful communi
ties into wrangling factions, and unite the
whole South—6,000,000 ofpeople, in patri
otic fury to put down 300,0O0 foreigners!—-
And this, too, at a time when a crisis is ap
proaching, in which onr institutions, life,
honor, hopes, are all involved; when Abo
lition has dissolved all parties, and mastered
the new, and the entire North is animated
with but the single idea of our destruction.
What can be more absurd, what more un
worthy and unsuicidal ?
It is the cause of the North—the cause of
our enemy. They have invited and pam
pered in every way foreign emigration, and
foreign labor has been the cheap instrument
of their progress. Did they expect to es
cape the common fate of all human efforts,
and take no evil with the good ? But to
call upon us, whose institutions they revile;
npon the South, the object of their long
cherished hate, to take up the reform in
their midst, and to press onward with it at
the eoet of domestic dissension, is the very
sublimity of insolence. Let the North, if
she can, purge herself. We are competent
to effect onr own reforms. South Carolina,
at least, has no part in this matter.
It is easy, very easy, to wake the demon
which slumbers in the soul of man; but once
aroused, and violence and clood follow his
steps. Already has human life been sacri
ficed in a Southern city to this spirit, and
Louisville mourns in her smoking ashes the
advent of this domestic war. Let the peo
ple of Kentucky, with these terrible memo
rials fresh before them, pause and ask in
whose behalf are they fighting; and an
swer whether, in the influence of her 30,-
000 foreigners, there is terror to her
700,000 brave and sturdy sons, and whether
all their recent triumph is worth the horri
ble price which they have paid for it.
Kansas.—Those who fancy that Governor
Shannon will have mnch trouble in Kansas
are greately mistaken. We predict for him
a quiet, and, under the circumstances, pleas,
ant administration of the stormy Governor
ship of the Territory. His forte as a public
man is “tract,” in which Gov. Reedir was
constitntionallydefioient, though it was more
needed in his position than any other requi
site making op the successful executive offi
cer. Doubtless many of Gov. Reeder’s dif
ficulties with the people of the Territory
grew out of little circumstances which be
came disagreeable and dangerous to the pub
lio pesos, because he failed to possess the fa
culty of managing men. His talents, genius
and legal abilities are more decided than
those ofhis sucoessor; yet, in difficulties, and
more especially in merely vexatious circum
stances, Gov. Shannon will prove muoh the
more disoreet of the two. He will be able
to repress illegal interference with the af
fairs of the Territory from any and all quar
ters without giving ofienoe to the people
under his charge, or we greatly mistake the
man. The South only asks for a fair show
in Kansas, aad if the people therefore reject
slavery of their own aooord she will not
oomplain or essay to “tabo” the new State.
