TIE TRuTn ADMITTED.

1t will be remembered that Immediately after
the enactment ofthe bloody scenes which char
acterzed the Louisville election, the Know
Nothing papers everywhere attempted to fasten
the responsibility of these sanguinary outrages
upon the Democratic party and its friends. Pi
Gus editors labored artentIy TO convince the
public that know-Nothingism was not to blame
TOR these outrages-that the supporters of that
party were beyond censure--that Democracy,
and Democracy alone, was to shoulder the aw-
1ul responsibility. Conscious of its innocence,
the organs of the Democratic party remained
calm, and quietly awaited for time to clear the
record. The National Iateiligeacer, paper
which stands coniessedly at the head of the OPP
position to Democracy in the Union, Thus speaks
on thissubject. We ask the candid Of all par
lies to read
stAftrr careful examination of all that We
have seen bearing on the point, after an unpre-
JUDGED study OF the articles that have appeared
on the subject IN the Louisville Journals, we
believe that the blood OF the slain is on the
hands Of the Know-Nothngs. The proofs are
many, and convincing"

WHERE Cork COMES FRoM.-Cork is
nothing more Or less than the bark Of ev-
ergreen oak, growing principally in Spain,
and other countries bordering the Mediter-
ranean in English gardens it is only a
curiosity. When the cork-tree is about ff-
teen years old, the bark has attained a
thickness and quality suitable for manufac-
turing purposes ani after stripping, fur
Their growth of eight years produces a Sec
ond crop and SO on at intervals, for even
ten or twelve crops. The bark is stripped
from the tree, in pieces two inches in thick
ness, of considerable length, and of such
width as to retain the curved form of the
trunk when it has been stripped. The
bark peeler or cutter, makes slit in the
bark with knife, perpendicularly from the
top of the trunk to the bottom; he makes
another incision parallel to it, and at some
distance from the former; and two shorter
horizantal cuts at the top and bottom. For
stripping off the piece thus isolated, he u
ses a kind of knife with two handles and a
curved blade. Sometimes after the cuts
have been made, he leaves the tree to
throw off the bark by the spontaneous ac-
tion of the vegetation xithin the trank.-
The detached pieces are soaked in water,
and are placed over fire when nearly dry ;
they are, in fact, scorched a little on both
sides. and acquire somewhat more COM
pact texture by this scorching. In order
to get rid of the curvature, and bring them
fiat they are pressed down with weights
while yet hot.

AN ESaUlMAUx Musical CoNCERT.-lt
is one OF the consequences inseparabIe from
music, as an universal language or gener-
al appeal to the human heart, that in varl-
Gus modes and degrees it should be eXer-
cised and felt by every description Of man
kind That the frozen waters of the Arc
tic Circle are not any more than the Tor
rid zone, denied its enjoyment, is manlleS-
ted by ar incident IN Captain Parry's sec
ond voyage in search OF northwest pas
sage. Captain G. F. Lyon, Of the Hecla.
describing the various occurrences which
took place while the ships were laid up in
their winter qua;ters, gives the following
particulars OF musical performance on
board the Fury :-"CaptaIn Parry says
he, 'invited me on board his ship to an Es-
quinauX concert, in which FIVE ladies and
a gentleman performed. Their tunes were
extremely monotonous, but sung IN good
time. One particular tune is most COM
monty used, but as almost every person
has song of his own, of course, each wife
sings her husbands favorite air, unless in
company when all sing. Okotock, the
mar uncovered his head while singing, AMI
observing bis little boys hood up pushed IT
back some what roughly. The women
while singing, either entirely closed their
eys, or kept them balf open IN very lam
gushing manner. In return for the songs,
Captain Parry and some of the officers
treated the natives with some instrument
tai music of which | thought the hageoet
was the most admired. lligliak, the wife
of Okotook, appeared to have very accu-
rate ear, and seemed much distressed at
being unaDle to sing in time to the barrel
organ. All the women had remarkably
sweet voices, and think the tones of Tor
gorlat, when speaking, were as musical as
any had ever heard" Speaking of the
incidents of another day, on board his own
ship the Captain says, "Okotook and his
wife, IIigliak, paid me a visit, and on my
exhibiting, among the usual articles of show,
a musical snuff. box, they took il for gran
ted that it must be the child of my small
hand organ. Whilst listening TO its tunes,
they frequently repeated IN low tone, the
word Iunu "a spirit with great emphasis,
and have no doubt that they fancied some
being was enshrined in the instru-
ment."

For the Spectator
Reply.

The mountains have heard your sad song,
And sing in return, come again;
While echo chimes loudly and long,
Again, to the hills, come again.
No echoes enliven the ear,
In the regions of wearisome plane;
The drum-head of hills gives the cheer,
As reveille rolls, come again.
The eagle majestic that flies.
Alolt Ger the storm and the rain,
Screams out as he pierces the skies
Come back, to the hills come again.
But mountains and eagle and dove
May WOO and entice you in vain;
Then heed tue allurements OF love
Which whisper, to hume come again.

MENTAL AND CoRPoREAL SUFFERING
There is a very pretty Persian apologize on
the difference between mental and corpore-
al suffering. A king and his minister were
discussing the subject, and differed in O.
pinion. The minister maintained the first
to be more severe, and to convince his SOY.
ereign of it, he took lamb. broke its leg,
shut 1t up. and put food before it. He took
another, shu! it up with tiger, which was
bound by strong chain, so that the beast
could spring near, but not seize the lamb,
and put food also before him. In the NOR
ming he carried the king TO see the effect OF
the experiment. The lamb with the bro
ken leg had eaten up all the food before
him-lhe othe: was found dead fiom fright.
