The eKNow- NorHINGs'' IN ALroN.-It would
appear from the aspect of the poll-books of the
election in this city on Tuesday, that the ''Know
Nothing" element enters very materially into the
result. Who were the sKnow-Nothing' candidates,
we are not advised nor can say if they were all
successful not; but it is generally understood,
at least on the street, that some of them WERE
So far as the tickets used the pools are concern
they all seemed to be alike; general tickets with
the all the names of all the candidates upon them,
and we infer only from the uniformity of the
scrdting, and the regularity with which the ballots
run for particular men, that there were 'sKnow-
Nothings, in our midst, and that their influence
was materially felt in the recent election. We
are entirely in the dark as to their actual num-
bers, or any thing else about them-their very
existence, except BY their works, being kept from
the public; but we are of the opinion, that the
organizing in this city, and perhaps throughout
the vicinity, is large and infuential.-Ahon Tel.

-
GREAT RIOT AT NEW ORLEANS.
Several Perssns Kiled-Military Called Out.
New ORLEANS, Friday, Sept. Is, 1854.
Our city has been the scene Of some terrible
riots between the Americans and Irish, in which
several lives were lost and many badly injured.
There are many rumors and exaggerated re-
ports in circulation in regard to the cause of it.
From the best Information can obtain, learn
that the first outbreak occurred on Sunday eve
ming, growing cut of q political discussion be-
party of Americans and Irish. A savage fight
ensued, in which firearms and clubs were freely
used. number of the participants in the riot
were badly wounded before it could be quelled
wounded died, ind much excitement followed in
consequence.
The excitement continued on the increase
| throughout Monday, and soon as night set in
the riot was renewed with still greater violence
each party apparently being prepared for it. The
news spread rapidly through the city, and it was
reported that several had been killed. but this re-
port fortunately proved to be premature. Pistols
and guns were fred into the crowds, and many of
the rioters received serious injuries. The police
again succeeded in making several arrests and
restoring order.
The rioters again assembled on Tuesday eve
ming, when the struggle was renewed with redoub-
led ferocity. Two Of the rioters were killed on
the ground, and quite number were carried of
some of them shOckingly wounded.
The riotous fever continued to increase during
Monday.
The Mayor orderedout the National Guard and
the entire police force.
This had the effect of intimidating the rioters,
and up to the time of sending this dispatch no
further outbreak had taken place.
The military, however, are still held under
arms, to be ready in the event Of a renewal of
the disgraceful riots.
Further Particulars.
The Express of yesterday says the ssKnow- No.
thing Lodges" here received dispatch from New
Orleans this morning announcing that ON Sunday
evening last, terrible riot broke out there be-
tween the Americans and the Irish, when num-
Der of persons were shot before the riot was
quelled.
But on Monday night the riots were renewed
with still greater violence, when many others
were badly injured, SO much so that some of the
wounded were reported to be dead. Then on
Tuesday evening the riots again broke out, and
in the struggle two other persons were killed.
The Mayor had called out the military, and the
peace was kept under species Of martial law, so
that order now prevails.

Touch EATING "A freshly imported Patlander
who had engaged himself waiter at one of
the hotels, was ordered by one Of the guests to
bring him napkin. Now this was an article that
Pat had never heard Of in all his life, and to save
his soul from purgatory he could not tell what the
gentleman meant. His Irish blood forbade him
displaying his ignorance, so he went to comply
with the order. Presently thought struck him
and he returned to the gentlman: 'Fath, sir, and
will We be pleased to take something else? The
napkins be all ate up.''

TUESDAY, SEPT. 26, 1854.

The IssuE.-There will be several important
questions to come before our Legislature at its
next session, the most prominent of which will be
the Railroad question. We think the matter is
fully understood by the people. We certainly
have done our duty toward enlightening them,
and if they do not vote become intelligent free
men, the blame must rest upon them and not up
on us. 1t is not whether we shall have railroad
or no railroad, but whether we will permit our
fair territory to be furnished with the stigma of a
fraud that's the question. We believe the peo-
pie riu not sanction the rascality of men whose
only desire is to make as much money out of us
they can, and then treat US as play thing. Let
the matter be duly considered, and no man
elected to the Legislature who will not repudiate
the fraud and those who had any thing do with it.
WING STATE CONVENTION OF N. Y.-The
Wing State Convention of New York met at

names for Lieutenant Gov. there appears Joseph
Benedict, Samuel E. Wilkin, and Henry j. Ray
mond, editor of the N. York Times. MIR. Will
kin, is father of Capt. Wilkin, of this city, and is
very highly spoken of by the Green Co. Wing, as
well as other papers. He was formerly Senator
from Orange Co. in the Legislature of New York,
and is man highly esteemed, not only for his
integrity of character, but for his fine talents.

such Democrats his organ in this city, cannot

foolishly placed himself. By his silence or mis-
negligence he suffered great wrong to be done
to Minnesota, and he will be held responsible for
it by the people whom he represents.
