that General Cass does approve of some portions of
the platform that, for instance, which says that
Congress has power to exclude from admission in.

New ORLEANs.--It would appear that Norfolk and
Buffalo and New Haven are not the only points
reached by the reaction of Know Nothingism. At
an election held in New Orleans, on the 25th, for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Elgee, Anti
KnowNothing, received three thousand four hun
dred and fifteen votes, and Merrick K N, received
two thousand two hundred and thrty-seven For
the last year or two the KnowNothing have been in
the habit OF carrying New Orleans by nearly two
thousand majority, usually celebrating their victory
by patriotically killing an Irishman OF two The
handwriting on the wall is becoming too plain to be
mistaken. The affair is doomed to speedy and mer
tied dissolution The ruins of the Democratic anc
Wing parties, forsooth! Aye, and of the country
too, if it only had its swing.

Melancholy Suicide.

Mr.. F. C. Stanback, Flour Inspector and prom
nent citizen of Petersburg committed suicide by cut
ting his throat and ripping out his entralS with
razor on Tuesday night last
His wife was absent at Hampton at the time, and
previous to the occurrence he evnced the creates
anxiety to see her. He wrote several letters one to
his Oldest son. another to Mr.. Francis Pace and a
third To Mr. Alfriend showing that the act OF self
destruction premeditated, but assigning no cause
for it.
The "ten thousand Irishmen'' who defeated The
Know Nothings in Virginia, unfortunately for the
veracity of the Washington American Organ, are dis
posed of by the census, which shows that there are
but 1000 foreign born persons in Virginiamen, Wo.
men and children.
KNOW NoTHINGIsM-WHAT History WILL SAY OF
IT When some future American annalist (sayS the
Vicksburg Sentine comes to detail the rise, prosps
and decay of the factions which have coalescel uD
der the name of Know Nothings to overthrow the
democracy, his work will be arranged and written
somewhat after the following fashion:
CHAPTER RISE OF THE ORDER:
Jack and Gill went up the hill
CHATTER Il-OBJECT OF THE COALITION:
To get pail of water
CHAPTER III-WHAT BEFEL ONE WING OF IT:
Jack fell down und broke his crown.
CHAPTER IV-WHAT BEFEL THE OTHER:
And Gill came tumbling AFTER.

Washington Union,) the removal of John Wilson
from the Office of the Commissioner of the General
Land Office and the temporary appointment of Geo.

that this change has been made solely upon political
grounds.

An Anne rcan gentleman writes from Nice Italy, that
during the last season, while Mr.. Van Buren, was in

he was there. Sure enough, in few weeks there
after, in the dead of the night, the whole city and
mountains commenced rocking, and the inhabitants,

no, had for the last three days, any exciting
topic for conversation and wonderment in
Evansville. Our city is distinguished for one
thing-of always having something exciting
on hand. When we get exceedingly hard
pushed, the editors kick up personal muss,
make the political wool fly for time, and
then give way to some more interesting sub
ject. But the last three days have been
stagnant. Probably this is only an evidence
of much business. We hope so.
