HORRIBLE OUgRAGE.-We learn from the Nashville Evening News, of the 18th inst. that much excitement existed in consequence of a horrible murder which was committed in that city on Monday night The following are the particulars as near as we could gather them; Between 10 and II o'clock, four young men, Peter Hefiron, Ed. McCullum, Lafayette Hund- ley, and another whose name we have not learn ed, went to house of ill-fame on McLemore street, and called out two men, one of whom was named Broadaway fireman on the ral- road When the two men came to the door Hetfron and his party commenced hostilities by Knocking down the man who was with Broada- way, and firing pistols at the two. Breadaway was almost instantly killed, but his companion managed to escape with but little injury.
 Two of the party Lafayette Hundley and Ed McCullum, were arrested and are now in custody. Hettron, who it is said fired the shot which killed Broadway, and the man whose name we did not learn, made their escape.

Died-At his residence in this city on the 18th inst, c. l.. SULLIVAN, for many years citizen of this place. INDEXED Mir. Sullivan, whose death we are called u pon torecord, has long been citizen of Little Rock, and was known far and near by his kindness of heart and his thousand charities His remains were accompanied to the grave by a large con- course of friends and by his brother Odd Eel lows and the members of the fire department. The following resolutions were adopted in tri- bute to his many virtues:
 Resolutions Adopted by Arkansas Encapment No. l, and
 Far West Lodge No. 2, 4 0. o. F.
 June 19, 1854. l. Resolued, That we are deeply pained and greved by the death of our Brother, Past Grand of this order from its first institution in Arkan- sas, always faithful and always active in the performormance of his duty.
 2. Resozved, That our Brother, Past Grand Master and Past Ch Patriarch SULLIVAN, was, in the highest and fullest sense of the words, an honest, charitable and a benevolent man.
 
 Not amply furnished with worldly means he was never deaf to the accents of distress, he was ever ready to watch by the bedside of the sick, and his hand was always open to the ap- peal of the destitute, and when he could give them nothing more he gave them his sympa- thy and his pity.
 3. Resolved, That this order, especially, will long and deeply lament his death. Intimately associated with all our recollections of the Lodge and Encapment; always at his post and ready for any duty, never faltering in his love and veneration for the order, and his confidence in her great destinies, he encouraged the faint hearted, gave confidence to the wavering, and most etiectually rebuked the indolent and in- different.
 4. Reso1vea, That we will not forget the widow and orphans of our deceased Brother, as he would not have forgotten ours, if it had been his fortune to outlive us. The arms of the Order will embrace and protect them; that the world may see how much that Order loves and honors the memory of those who have never failed of their duty or faltered in their allegl- ance.
 5. Resozuea, That the corresponding secreta- ry of Far West Lodge do deliver copy of these resolutions to the widow of our Brother, as an assurance of our sympathy in her sorrows.

The knoW-Nothings.

The elections in Washington city, and Phila- delphia. have developed an organization on the part of a secret society, delighting in the eu- phonious cognomenof "know- -nothings," which promises for time to exercise a very important influence in our primary elections. Through ont the New England States, wherever an elec- ton has been held, the know-nothings have succeeded in controlling 1t ill many instances by astonishing maiorities. We saw 1t stated few days since in the New York Mirrio1, that the order in the city of New ' ork already num- bered 25,OO0 members. Ii Is understood that this E7oU-nothtng mania also is prevailing the Sonth. and the West. In Cincinnati and other cities upon the Ohio, it is apprehended that they have organized very formidable parties; pri yatc letter from New Orleans from reliable source, informs us that they number ill that city several thousands, and we have repeatedly heard during the past few weeks, that branches of the same association have been formed in this city, and that they are daily making pro- selvtes As the operations of this h1eoao-nothjng organization are entirely secret and their pur- poses studiously concealed from the public eve, we can have no knowledge of them except by their results One thing has been demonstrated very plainly, that wherever their power has been felt, it has been by intictlng blow upon the democratic party.
 With democrats they seem to have no aflinities and no sympathies. Whatever Of principle they may possess, seems to be in an tagonlsm to the cherised principles of the de- mocracy Under the spacious pretense of "hos- tility to foreign inhuence," they are attempting to resurrect the dead dody of Natiue AnaeracalsW from the grave to which 1t had been consigned by the rumphof those liberal principles taught n the democratic school. If this be the pur- pose of the know-nothing party (and there seems scarcely to be doubt of i) they are le' gtimately entitled to the name they bear.- They emphatcally know nothing of the his ory of our government or the spirit of our ins itu. tions. They kpow-notaing of that generosity and liberalism which abide in the hearts of the American prople, and which will prompt them to spurn and crush party thus animated by { spirit so entirely un-American. It behooves Us to beware of this ancient enemy under a new name for it can result i'll nothing but evil to tht emocratic party.-Loulsu5l1e Times.

WEST POINT CADETS.

ACity eotemporary, with whom we
but seldom hold community of sentiment,
after giving the name and parentage Of
the Cadets at large, recently appointed
by the President, says:
The high responsibility of the parents and
ancestors of all the above-named youths, no
doubt reflects great credit upon the discern
nent and appreciation of the President; and
yet we must confess, on reading the list, We
have felt disappointed and mortified at not
finding in it the names of several worthy and
veil-approYed aspirants. Jonathan Furrow
Philip Ploughbow, Jeremiah Jackplane, Rod
erick LapsIone, and Clement Grist are all
oyers!aughsd. Had this been the early usage
Of our Government, how many Of the favored
Of our land could now boast ancestry Of re-
nown? 1t was the superiority Of ploughboys
over The men of distinguished ancestry, that
secured for our country its independence, and
II would be a safe rule of conduct still to re-
cognise them as having rights and merits. In
civil life they work their way to the highest
places of honor, trust, and profit. In the army
and navy, if the opportunity is left them, they
may possibly still fight their way to eminence. %
While we do not blame the President
for making his selections to fill the vacan.
cies according to the established usages
Of his Wing and Democratic predecessors,
we are compelled to acknowledge the
force of the remarks above quoted. 1t
too frequently happens that the high re-
.peetability of the parents and the dis
tinguished character of the ancestry OF
those who are chosen as cadets to West
Point, has more to do with their selec-
ton than anything else. This is wrong;
and We trust, in these days of progress,
that reform will commence in this mat
ter that will tend to equalise these ap.
pointments, and make the principles upon
which they are made more in accordance
with the principles Of republicanism and
the spirit of the institutions of our
country.
We have thought long and seriously
on this subject, and shall, as soon as we
have time and room, discuss it at length
IN our columns.

GENERAL ALMONTE

rs the only Mexican soldier who never fought
against this country. santa Anna has shed
rivers OF American blood; killed or murdered with
his own hands, thousands of Americans; the pris
oner OF the brave veteran Houston, has no right to
American money. This is my voice-the voice of a
:isfnralized citizen in this country with residence
u ioftv years In tn; my adaptive country, which
has given to my body true An,erTc.si. seaft. The
republic of Mexico is one thing: hut Santa Anna a
Dictator for lifs, without oustitution-withOut
Legislative Body. is quite different thing. The
Treaty of Guadalupe was ratified by the Mexican
Congress together with our American Congress. The
American Senate is omnipotent; but, my opinion.
the Senate cannot treat, or communicate with tn.
usurper Santa Anna, without the consent of the Mex
lean Legislature Santa Anna to-day or tomorrow.
will run away with the fifteen millions in his pocket:
that money is not for the Mexican1bpubIc: with tn
thief of the Mexican Constitution, our government
cannot treat. General Almonte within few days.

MISS ANNETTE NICE

Miss Annette Ince, who has created
so great sensation among the patrons Of
theatres wherever she has appeared, is
now in this city, and will make her ap-
pearance at the National Theatre, on
Monday next, in Knowles beautiful play
OF "The Hunchback, in which charac-
ter sheis said to be without a superior. She
IS one of the greatest tragediennes on the
stage, and the press are loud in her praise.
The Philadelphia Sun has the following
very complimentary notice of this young
lady: ------
"MIss ANNETTE INCE.-The series of char.
acters assumed by this young lady, during her
last weeks engagement at the W alnut, evinced
talent of a high order, q discrimination which
would do credit to a veteran performer, and
an intensity Of feeling which shows that I. her
heart is her VOCATION Had Miss Ince come
among as with a trans Atlantic reputation 81 9
would have drawn admiring and applaudiDg
crowds but now she has long and tedious
ordeal to overcome, which is to be found in the
popular prejudices against indigenous talent
she is most evidently woman of mind, of
fervid imagination and deep sensiblities; she
can discriminate most delicately between the
various passions, and has the rare faculty of
pOrtraying the most intense emotions in del
icate and feminine manner. She does not
'unsex herself in the madness of jealousy
or the phrenzy of despair, but seems clearly
aware that intensity of passion is not delinca-
ted by rant or wild contortions of the body
miss 1nce has bright professional future
before her, If she will continue to devote her
self to the drama with the same care she has
commenced. She wants now the opportunity
OF cultivating her voice, to give it power and
soiidlty; her tones of entreaty and pathos ar
exquisitely sweet; there is music in her beauti-
ful modulatiens, and an earncstness in her
manner which will carry an audience along
with her, and wind them up to pitch of en-
thusiastic sympathy with her rsonations In
the ttorrent of passion, she is somewta. too
hurried, which we should Judge to be the effect
OF her organization and natural feeling, but
she is always natural and ever keeps delicate
ly and judiciously within the bounds of nature
Some of her PRESENTATIONS, as Far rs conception
Of character goes, are faultless; and indeed
there are so few evidences Of the novice in all
she does. that it is impossible almost to realize
that she has not yet performed dozen times
She has the advantages of ease and graceful
gait on the stage, from her former position as
danseuse Her features are full of express
sion, and she thoroughly understands their
play; her smile is pleasing and her expression
OF intense agony painful in its marked and
fearful fidelity
