REAcTIoN.-Unsuspecting citizens may
sometimes be betrayed into afiliating with
traitors and reasonable organizations, but
the solid good sense Of the American people,
for which we entertain the highest respect,
when their eyes shall have been opened,
will eventually lead them to shun such So
ceties, as they would a nest of vipers. Our
readers will remember that Know Nothing
Mayor was elected few months since in
Washington, D. G. Since then the re-
action has been so speedy and great, that,
on Monday last, in the first ward, which gave
the Mayor large Know Nothing MAORI
ty, CHARLES w. DAVIS, an able opponent
to secret political societies, open and avow-
ed, was elected one of the members of the
City Council, over the Know Nothing can
didate Beware of traitors and reasonable
societies.

THE Position OF PARTIEs.-In our
town we believe there is three good old
fashioned Wings, all the rest. of the party
have become affiliated with some of the
many factions and isms which food the
land this we suppose is the reason why the
call for Wing county meeting, although
written out, was not printed or published
1t is truly gratifying to take glance over
the State and see the steadfastness with
which Democrats stick" to their party,
and the stability they display in resisting
attacks, coaxings and wheedlings of the
members of hostile organizations At pre-
sent the members of the Democratic party
are active in canvassing the State for their
favorite candidates for the nominations, but
the nominations once made, it will be found
the party will unite upon their men, and,
like patriotic army under skillful generals,
present an array of force to beat back the
scattered men of the opposition who may
happen to come together in small body
upon some one Of the many questions with
which they are so wofully distracted.

PHILADELPHIA, WILMINGToN. AND BALTIMORE
RAILRoAD.-We have received from Mr. VIII
liam Spafford. Superintendent Of the Phadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, the
rules and regulations by which those employed
on the road viii be governed, on and after the
first Of September next. These rules are adj
mirably adapted to the good government of the
road and the proper attention to their duties by
the various employees, while the passengers
will be rendered secure against accidents from
carelessness, generally the worst kind of disas-
tiers occurring on railroads, or any other public
conveyance. The following are very proper re-
gulatons:
On stopping the Train at any station, the
Conductor must distinctly announce, or cause
to be announced in each car, so as to be heard
throughout the car, the name of such station
Sufficient time must in all cases be allowed for
passengers 10 leave or enter the train in safety,
prudent dispatch being taken to avoid delay.
They must scrupulously observe all signals OF
"caution" and danger" and keep particu-
lar look out at switches. first ascertaining that
each switch is in its proper place before crossing
the same. They must never enter upon any
drawbridge without knowing that everything
connected with the bridge is in perfectly safe
condition. In running during or after storm
every precauton must be taken to guard against
the possibility Of danger. On approaching a
railroad crossing, the train must advance at a
moderate speed, and the engine driver must see
the way is clear. In case of the slightest doubt
as to the safety of proceeding the engine driver
must invariably stop his train until all danger
is Iemoved.-Ledger.

ALMOST A FIRE.-Mr. VIM. SHARP,
Principal of the High School, on entering
his school-room, about o'clock last even
ing, discovered in one corner of the apart
ment quantity Of books and paper on fire.
With the assistance of some neighbors, he
speedily cxtinguished it before any great
damage was done. Two of his pupils Every
young lads,) were seen to leave the pre-
misses about fifteen minutes before the fire
was discovered, and they are suspected of
being the incendiaries. We presume Mr.
SHARP will have the matter investigated
His visit to the school, so late in the even
ing, was altogether accidental but for this,
there would doubtless have been a serious
confagration. The school-house is situated
on the "Green," and adjoins two large and
handsome private dwellings.

The BRITISH FLEET AND THE BALTIC
PowERs.--A London correspondent OF the
National Intcligencei says that much anxiety
is felt rs to the manner in which the British
feet will be welcomed by the Baltic Powers.
Will crowds Of cheering Danes and Swcdes
line the shores, or will the British flag be met
with chilling apathy and marked dissatisfac.
ton? "There are politicians here who say
that the appearance of the fleet will be the
signal for Denmark and Sweden to throw
down the gauntlet to Russia, and join with
France and England, whilst Others argue that
exactly the reverse will take place. and that
the entrance of the British fleet at the Cattc.
gate will cause a combination of Russia
Prussia, Denmark and Sweden against the
Western Powers, and that the Scandinavian
ports will at once be closed to u fleet depend
ing upon them for temporary shelter and fol
necessary provisions. This would place the
British arms at 4 great disadvantage. Swedish
ports once closed, Denmark would follow hel
ncighbor's example, and then, shut in :he
Baltic by the frightful batteries at its mouth
and assaled suddenly by the combined naval
forces of three enemies, there would remain
desperate work to be done even for Sir
Charles Napier. This is certainly an extreme
view of the case and one which we are not
disposed to entertain; but yet it is held by a
great many very cautious persons"

Political ExEcUTIoNs.-We learn from
the New York Tribune, that the Admins

er. Six clerks, nine inspectors, one weigher
and one measurer have received their congo
to depart, and their successors have been
appointed. Redfed had better keep his

CoMIcAL MARRIAGE CEREMoNy.-Among
the Brahmins the marriage ceremony is one
of the most singular Of their many singular
customs. 1t is i.s*-n wise: The man and
woman 80 into the water with a COW and cali
and an old priest. The man doth hold his
hand by the old mans hand and the wifc's
hand by the husbands, and all have the COW
by the tail; and they pour water out Of brass
pot on the cows tail, and then the old man
ties him and her together by their clothes
then they give to the Brahamane the COW and
calf. Then they 90 to divers other idols and
give money, and then they 60 their way. I,
is needless to add that the money given to
the idols at the conclusion Of this marriage
ceremony is "taken by the priest"

QuARRELL1sc.-If any thing in the world
will make man feel badly, except pinching
his fingers in the crack Of a door, it is un-
questionably quarrel. No man ever fails
to think less of himself after, than he did
before; it degrades him in the eyes of Others
and, what is worse, blunts his sensblities on
the one hand, and increases the power and
passionate irritability on the other. The
truth is, the more peaccably and quietly we
get on the better for our neighbors. In nine
cases out of ten, the better course is, if n man
cheats you, to quit dealing with him; if he is
abusive, quit his company, if he ISLANDERS you,
take care to live so that nobody will beieve
him. No matter who he is, or how misuses
you, the wisest way is to let him alone; for
there is nothing better than this cool, calm,
and quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we
meet with.
