You have taken such an oath, you are peIjdrer TO

information? Such il exactly the know-nothing
argumenil But, as q sensible mar, when you sa"

oath TO iriure YOU more worthy OF your confluence
md estAam than those who would have kept 1t
W. r.aso,, tins in regard to the revelations which
roach ms or this know-nothiDg conspiracy. The
oath in the first place. is Illegal and wicked It's,
in the second place. generally administered under
elise nretences In the third place it requires the
commission of unjust and immoral acts For these
reasons, it is the duty of every man to withdraw
from the order 1t is the right of every man to
Judge for himself what course to pursue in keeping
illegal acts secret And it is our mperious and SOL
emn duty, and one which we shall resolutey per-
form, when we believe dangerous secret conspir-
acy is on foot to subvert the constitution of the
country and the liberties of the people to give to
the public the best information it possible TO Oh
| tain of its designs and progress We employ no
| spies. We ask information from no one But we
shall use such as is voluntarily put in our possession
at our discretion.
If indeed, it is settled in morals that an oath adj
ministered without form Of law; an oath requiring
man TO deceive his neighhor; an oath requiring
him to vote as directed by tie majority of his as
sociates; an oath compelling him to violate the COZ
stituton of his country in regard to religious test
if such an oath is to be forever binding, then, in
deed, over the portals of know-nothingsm may wei
again be written the terrible sentence, "They scht
enter here must lears all hope behind" Then, in
deed, is the bridge over which the deluded vic
tins pass in their passage from either of the ole
political parties to this new and terrible organza
ton, Bridge Of Sghs and they who pass it enter
worse than Venitian dungeon, nasmuch as the coz
science itself is to be subjected to Imprisonment
and torture.
We believe this know-nothing organization to b.
a sudden paroxysm of mania, like that which some
times suddenly seizes the strong man in the mids
of his labors and impels him to deeds of violence
which be shudders with returning reason. w
warn the community that its end will be as suddel
and fearful as its origin suspicious and its pro
gress revolving. The scourge has nearly run it

The Straight Line Railroad.

The tenth estimate on the E., /. and G.
Straight Line Railroad was promptly paid in
this city yesterday Every estimate has been
promptly met, which is probably the best evil
dence of the stability of those at the head of
this enterprise, and of the excellent manner
in which the work is being conducted. The
estimate paid yesterday was smaller than usu-
al being only $4,000, owing to the sickness
along the line of the road. Bat the work is
being as vigorously prosecuted as circumstan-
ces will possibly permit. We hope the gene
raj sickness throughout the country will soon
give way to good health. A number of public
works have been almost entirely stopped on
account of sickness among the laborers.
Mr.. Carpenter will start forthwith up the
line of the road to see the people of the coun-
ties beyond the crossing of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Railroad. He will make the letting:
on the road beyond this crossing just so soor
as the people in these counties subscribe The
proper amount of stock. Great iberality anC
amost excellent spirit have been thus far shown
along the route of the road, with but the ex
ception of a few persons. We hope the peopl,
beyond the 0. and NJ. Railroad will exhibit az
equally correct appreciation of the value ofth
road and of their own interests in connection
Herewith. The great enterprise is progress
ing steadily, and under the circumstances
rapidly. There is not an acre of land alon
Its route, which will not be almost doubled i
value by this road. Therefore all the encoul
agement which those owning this land ca
give the work, will rebound to their own emo
ument.

The Parade.

Our Firemen, with the Firemen of Lamasco,
will turn out in Parade to-day, with their ap-
paratus. Although no such display as is made
in the larger cities can be expected, yet our
fremen will make handsome turn out. The
order of their march will be found in the ad-
yertisement of Programme. We presume the
procession will be at the Park, near Mr. Barnes
residence, about noon, when Mr. Blythe will
deliver an address. After the address a salute
of nine guns will be fired, when the procession
will proceed by the route designated to Apollo
Hall for dinner, after leaving their apparatus
at the respective Engine Houses. After din
ner they will disband. In the evening there
will be Grand Union Soiree and Supper at
Crescent City Hall, where we hope to see a
tremendous crowd.
Mr.. Warren's splendid Brass Band from
New Harmony will be nfre, and lend its aid
during the day to the Young america Fire
Company, and in the evening oficiate al Cres-
cent Hall. The new Crescent City Brass
Band will turn out with the Neptune Fire
Company. They will make excellent music.
The Evansville Brass Band will accompany
the Union Fire Company We shall certainly
have music enough for the occasion, and good
music. AS yesterday was delightful day,
we trust the Fire Companies will have excel
ent weather for their celebration. Mr.. g. H.
Cook is Chief Marshal of the day, and Mr.

FATAL AFFRAY AT HELESA.-We learn in a
private note to the editor from the Postmas-
tiers at Helana, Ark.-who is reliable gentle
man-that an affray occurred in that place on
Saturday last, between Jas. NJ. Cleveland,
Esq. editor of the "Star," and @. X. Under
wood, Esq, editor of the "Shield." They
fought with pistols and knives. Mr.. Under
wood was MORALLY, and Mr.. Cleveland dan
gerously wounded. The difficulty grew out of
a newspaper controversy. When the note
was was written Mr.. U. was thought to be dy-
ing. We have no further particulars.

was a talented and very amiable gentleman
He made US visit few months ago and we

truly hope his condition has been exaggerated,
and that he may yet live to continue an orna-
ment to his profession.

seen a paragraph in the Louisville Journal stat
ing that the report of this fracas is entirely
unfoqlded. We hope it is all hoax

or By the following from the State Jour
nal, it appears Indianapolis is exceedingly
afflicted with the chills and fever about this
time. Evansville has been reported abroad
as very sickly, but SO far as we are able to
judge by reports from other towns, it is this
season one of the most healthy places in In
diana. The Journal says:
The Sentinel is reduced to the necessity of
apologizing for the lack of matter Sickness
has Frustrated the whole editorial corps. We
can sympathize with it. Some of the hands,
our book keeper, one of the editors, and~the
foreman are all down with the chills. This
most distressing complaint was never so pre-
valent as this fall. Every fourth man has
had, or means to have, the chills within the
month, and yet there is far less fatality in the
sickness than in any year for five years.
