Know NorHINGIsM IN MIssIssIPPL-We learn
from "bolter" (says the Democratic Flag that two
of the K. N. Councils in this county, Q.afayette)
have exploded. AT one of these, two Bondpaying
Wings remain faithful, and continue to hold sweet
council together as to the beet ways and means of
counteracting the influence of "furriners and Gath
olics, and-nominating each other to Office. We
trust they will soon succeed in determining these
important points.
The other council has so fully exploded that they
do not pretend to transact business at ALL For the
safety of our protestant and political institutions,
we hope they may harmonic better for the future
We learn farther that an important K. N. -ictory
was gained in recent election of Mayor in a small
town in the same vicinity. The Mayor elect was
"bolter" "a popularity in his position which we
thought it nothing amiss to mention.

TYREE SPRINGS, Tenn, June %. Is


MEssRs. EDTreRs:-In our communication of the
9th ult, We expressed strong doubts as to the
existence of any intelligent Irishman in Sumner
county, base enough to give cognzance to such an
attempt, to entrap his unsuspecting countrymen,
as is evidently the design of the communication in
the Gazette. Since the Editors of that Journal have
designated Tyree Springs as the vicinity, whence
their correspondence emanated, more than ever,
are we persuaded, that it is X. N. catchpenny
humbug for we know personally, and have con-
versed with every Irshman near Tyree, and they
have, to man, without one single exception, posi-.
lively, and unequivocally, denied being the afore-
mentioned degenerate scion of the Emerald Isle,
scofed, repudiated the sentiments of and denounced
as SANDER, the said communication We have
therefore, good reason for doubling the authenticity
Of the document, purporting to have emanated from
Intelligent Irishman, it bears upon its face
its own contradiction and we reterate our ca Il for
and challenge to, the said Irishman.

Rhode Island few bottles of wine from the
Glasgow Vine Company. The Rhode Is
land gentleman, few days ago, had a friend
dining with him, who has just returned from
Italy, having spent some years in that coun-
try, and who, partaking of the Glasgow wine,
declared it equal to any he had ever tasted,
and the only wine he had ever drunk in the
United States having the true flavor of the
grape. Accordingly he sent an order per ex-
press to st. Louis, for his own especial use

suffering and privation, were found dead Of
starvation upon a spot which they could not
have reached without having first solved that

Times learns, from authority in which impli-

ry acquired by the United States under the
Gadsden treaty with Mexico, is rich in miner
al wealth, containing both gold and silver in
great abundance. The auriferous region is
not confined to single locality; the precious
metals are found in many places along our
new line, and in localities distant from each
other. Nor is the mineral district confined
to our new acquisition. The mines extend
across the line, and for some distance into
the territory which remains to Mexico in con-
sequence of the Senatc's amendments to the
very treaty as originally framed.

THE PEsTILENcE IN VIRGINIA DIMINISH
Ma-A ToUcHINs SKErcH.-It is stated
that the devastating pestilence of the Inflated
cities Of Norfolk and Portsmouth has nearly
subsidized Seven per cent. of the population,
or one thousand persons have persisted in
Norfolk. Sad are the scenes which now ev-
erywhere meet the eye in those two devoted
cities. The following is an extract from a
private letter from Norfolk, dated the 10th
instant, which, doubtless, pictures but one of
the many desolated families where the pesti-
lence has smote: Manchester American.
"You can place no confidence in newspa-
per reports. The other day the burials
amounted to fifty-eight, and they were re-
ported to be fifteen. And on another occa-
sion there were seventy-three interments, and
only twenty-four were reported. There were
twenty-five deaths in Portsmouth yesterday
A man jumped into the river the other day
and was drowned; his entire family had been
swept away by the breath of the destroying
angel, and he alone was left. We witness
scenes every day that make the tears flow,
and the heart bleed A lady died at the

seen father and brothers and sisters carried,
one by one, to their narrow home, and the
spirit of her dear mother had now departed.

and as she sat there sobbing, with her face
buried in her lap, l felt the warm tear-drops
course down my own cheeks. commanded
my feelings, and spoke to her tenderly. |
told her that her mother was no longer sick,
and suffering pain, but she was in heaven, in
presence of her Saviour and in the company
of angels and good people, and that if she
would be good girl she would see her moth
er again. | comforted her by telling her
that God was her father, and that he would
take care Of her. She left the room. About
an hour afterwards, while | was walking along
the street, saw this little girl. She recog-
nized me Immediately, and, smiling through
her tears, she ran towards me, and clasping
my hand in hers, she said, with touching
simplicity, DO, sir, have my dear mother
buried in a coffin; it would pain my mother
very much if she was put into one Of those
horrid boxes"

LATER FROM THE SALT LAKE Valley
Bv the arrival of the western mail at st.
Louis, file of the Salt Lake City News is
received up to Sept l5 The crops are like
" to turn out much better than was antici-
pated few weeks previous. Many fields
had been replanted and resown, and by the
help of irrigation corn, oats and potatoes were
growing finely. Fruit, melons, and other
vegetables also promised fairly. Sugar beets
had been seriously injured by the grass-hop-
pem, yet sugar-making was profitable en-
ployment at Prevo. Large quantities OF salt
had been obtained from the shallow lakes
connected with Great Salt Lake, and the tith-
ing store-house was full. Work upon the
Temple Block was progressing rapidly.
