tho Third or Union Degree Of the Know No
thing party, i appearsto be admitted, BY friends
and opponents, 10 be genuine, ard as such fully
explains the cause Of the opposition Of The Abo-
lliionists and other Disunionsts to III. american
party But while this obligation TO support the
Union and the Constitution ELECTS the opposition
Of such abolition zealots as Seward. Greedy,
Weed & Co, il will not fail TO secure the appro-
baton Of the union-loving and patriotic men Of
all sections.
The Raleigh Standard, In commenting upon
this third degree, pronounces il "a convenient
arrangement" and in true jesuitical style sug-
gests that two degrees are for the North, and
three for the South That the Know Nolhings Of
the North win refuse TO take the third degree.
Bot the Standard overlooks the fact that the New
York Know Noihings have, through their Grand
Council, re.aflirmed, by unanimous vote, the
third degree; and New York il considered to be
al the North. II forgets also the additional fact,
tina, the action Of the American party, outside Of
the State Of Massachusetts,, goes 10 sustain the
principles set forth in the third degree.
II viii he seen by all who are in search after
the truth, that the obligation assumed in this
third degree binds lis members to vote for those
who have also taken UPON themselves the oblga.
ton contained in the Union degree, in preference
10 all others, for political offices; so that North.
crn men who take the degree, as well as South
ern men, would be compelled 10 vote, in the Ma.
tional Councils against all Aboli,ionists, Seces
sonisis. OF Disunionists Of any stripe. Il Is esi
dent that there are men al the North who are
national and conservative in their views,-who
under trying circumstances. viii, like Gov. Gard
ncr, have the moral courage to stand up for The
right In The face Of popular elamor,--and We
have hope that the leven Of Union sentiments
contained in this third degree Of the American
order, will ere long be widely diiIused through OIL
] the States, both North and South.

Texas. "A Warning to Emigrants.

The AsheyiIle Spectator contains a
long letter from N. a. Penland, for
merly Of Buncombe. now Of Texas.
giving the results OF his experience OF
two years life in that land Of promise.
The following is his summing ups
"lf | were back in Buncombe. |
would never see Texas, with my present
knowledge. But | am here, like thou
sands OF others, and expect to die here.
Some people can better their condi>
ton by coming, il they have means Or
shrewdness to start with. Otherwise,
the {" poor mans lot" is better there,
than the rich mans field here"
We have reason to know that Mr..
Penland's feeling is common with ina>
ny emigrants from North Carolina:
IF | were back in North Carolina, |
would stay there. But have incurred
the expense If removal: have sold out
there and bought here and besides, il
| were to 90 back. | should be laughed
at" Such are the reflections of many
of thousands, We doubt not.
Mr.. Penland says that coarse corn
meal was selling at 81 so per bushel,
flour SO per bbl., and bacon Is cents
per lib. That with the country full of
cattle, he does not get milk in his cof-
fee, or butter on his bread. once III
three months. What butter he gets is
from the North, at 40 cents per ID.
He does not speak much better Of
mankind iii Texas than Of the comforts
of living there. But hear him:-
Zone thing for the credit Of Texas
| must say. There is less stealing in
Texas, than any place | have ever liv-
ed. Now and then some poor needy
fellow will steal a horse or negro, or a
tract of land, but that is about all. To
take a COW or two is not considered
stealing, ifa man chances to fancy a lit,
lie stock that belongs to his kind neigh
Dor. Besides, We sometimes become
hungry in Texas, as well as in Bun
combe, and thousands of cattle are
roaming over the prairies whose own.
ers do not need them, and why spare
them to be swamped, or eaten BY the
wolves :"

CAPTURE OF HAVANA.

A writer in the New York Mirror Is
showing the difference between taking
Havana on paper, and taking it vi et
arms. The memories of the filIibus-
tiers are refreshed with an account 81
the attack upon the place by the Eng
lish in 1862, and its disastrous results
"The English fleet consisted Of 10
ships Of the line, ls frigates, with va
rious small vessels Of war, and some
200 transports, under command of Po-
cock. and 10000 soldiers, under Ge-
neral Monckton.
"The cannonadc I've are told CON
tinted seven days: thr siege had lasted
twenty lays. with little hope of taking
the Moro. At this time the English
received reinforcement Of 4 900 lresl.
troops. Now, inspired with new hopes,
the attack was renewed; their cscr-
tons redouble,l, and at last with sue
cess. Ga the Ed day Of this memora-
Bile siege the fort was captured. The
city held out few days and then sur
rendered. to prevent unnecessary sac
riice of lie.
e The loss sustained by the English
army aud navy was horrible. The
English historian, aware how dearly
this yictory was obtained. prudcntly
omitted to record the number killed
and wounded. Contemporary writer's
mot English) say this fort cost Eng
land over one thousand men,"
After reading this account, an Ame-
riean may make some estimate how
many soldiers, (illibastcrs, undiscip-
lined men i would require 70 capture
the Moro Castle.

The CnsT OF AN AssAuLT.-Trans-
lated for the Rochester Union from a
letter of F. Gaillardet to the Courier
Etat Unis:
!. General Canrobert. in letter that
appears III the Moniteur, gives an ac-
count of various partial engagements.
These are but the prologue to the great
drama soon to be enacted there. What
is to be the results Will Scbastopol
fall into our hands, or will itresist our
assault? On this point opinions diff
fer. | have been assured that a letter
has been received from Gen. Bosquet,
the bra,est Of the brave. In it he ex-
presses the wish that peace may occur
soon enough to spare the Allied army the
terrible enterprise because Sebastopol
is no longer a towii : It is camp, for
titled as never position was before.
Redoubts are behind redoubts, barri-
cades behind barbados; squares,
streets, houses, windows are alike
armed, aud bristle with fearful array
OF guns. The assaults will be n battle
foot to foot and hand to hand. 1t will
cost twenty thousand men, and after all
may not succeed ; for there are some
things equally beyond human yaloI
and human strength"
