merchant OF Bowling Green, KY, gives the
following plain, unvarnished statement, as an
eyewitness of the Louisville riots, in private
letter TO MesSrs. GRAHAM a. PmLLps, which

ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE.

/ The Commissioners for the North Carolina Asy-

week-present, Messrs John NJ. Morehead, Calvin
Graves George W. Mordecai, c. L. Hinton, and
Thos D. Hogg.
We learn that DR.. E. c. Fisher was re-appointed
Superintendent, at salary of $4,000. DIR. Fisher
will remove to the Asylum, and reside there perma-
nently, giving his personal attention to the affairs of
the institution. Mrs. w. j. Alexander, of Lincoln
ton, appointed Matron of the institution, at a
salary of $500; and Mr.. Rufus K. Ferrill, of Wake
was appointed Steward, at salary of $500. These
all good appointments. We entertain no doubt
that the institution, with such officers and under
the care of wise and humane Legislatures, will fully
realize the expectations of the benevolent and phil
anthropic.
the buildings, it is expected, will be completed
furnished and ready for the reception of this afflicted
class by the first of next January. The painting
and pasterng have been completed, and the stucco-
ing is nearly done. The institution is designed to
accommodate 25O persons.

\ KNow-NoTHNG PARsoN MISSISSIPPI
the present time Rev. Mr.. Clinton, Baptist clergy
man, is attempting to evangelize Mississippi for the
benefit of the know-nothing order. If only por-
ton of the sayings attributed to him be true, his
congregation would be largely the gamers in pure
religion and sound morality if he wholly forsool the
Memphis Appeal thus alludes to a speech recently
delivered by the reverend gentleman at Holly Springs,
Mississippi:
Mr.. Clinton commenced by abusing the admin
stration in the same manner as all disaffected and
disappointed democrats and office-seekers. He
charged the Postmaster General with sending out
secret maagents, with secret keys, for the purpose
of robbing the mail bags-a charge so degrading
and false that should be spoken of only to brand
it with the infamy the author deserves by all true
American citizens"
The transparent falsehoods of this INSCRIPTIONS
political parson will be properly answered and eff
fectuay rebuked at the ballot. box. Every speech
he makes will only add to the numbers in the dem
ocratic ranks. Let him keep on.

The WHOLE THING BURST UP.-We understand that
the know nothing councils of Savannah met in grand
conference last evening and resolved to disbsnd!
They passed resolutions to surrender up their chart
ers, papers, lists of enrolment archives, &c.-to
who we could not learn-perhaps to the mother
council of Massachusetts,. We sincerely hope, be-
fore they are shipped, that curious public be per-
mtted to see them. Our know-hothing friends
might thereby turn honest penny. We would
give as much to see those documents as we would to
see Barnum's 'Happy Family"
The national constitution, ritual, oaths, obliga-
tions, initiation ceremonies and ALL likewise
derstand went by the board AS to the secrecy anti
Nebraska platform not so we'll informed
One thing is certain, however-know -nothngism in
Savannah has completely burst up! We are not
surprised. 1t has held together now longer by far
than we had expected.

few words will suffice 1t was born of abolition,

MIR. STEVENSON'S ADDRESS.

We have received and read with much pleasure
the Address of Geo. S. Stevenson, Esq, of Newbern,
delivered in June last before the two Societies of
Wake Forest College His subject is {" The Educa
ted Farmer" which he has treated in excellent
manner. 1t is gratifying to find men of education
and influence like Mr.. Stevenson giving attention
to a subject important in itself, and so full of in
terest when considered in connection with the future
progress and prosperity of the country.
Many parents, who able to give all their chill
dren the advantages of thorough education are
too much inclined to devote their means and their
attention to such designed for what called
the learned professions; while those intended for
farmers planters neglected This is unques-
tignably mistaken view. 1t is true, we have many
excellent farmers who have never been fa Their in the
walks Of knowledge than the 'old field school -
vet even these are reading and rejecting men; but
the plain truth is our best farmers are men who
have been well cduca tcd-who have learned much
Of chemistry, of geology, of botany, and the like,
and consequently of the nature of soils and plants;
and who thus bring the knowledge Of the asst, the
results of experiments, and the fixed principles of
science TO aid them in their labors
Mr. Stevensons Address is from the press of the
Spirit of the Age, and is handsomely printed.

MASONRY AND KNOW-NOTHINGISM.

The following card appears in the last number
received of the Fort Smith (Arkansas) Gazette. We
commend it to the careful perusal of all true and
honorable Masons who have been deluded into the
know-nothng organization:
We, the undersigned, having been initiated into
the order called knownothings, at the office of DR..
j. Ii. I. Maine, of this city, have become perfectly
satisfied that the principles of said called order
antagonistc to republicansm and in violating of the
constitution of the United States, and also in viola
ton of oar obligations to the Masonic fraternity,
which teaches US ''to respect the constitution of
our country, love to God, and charity to all men,.
Having found that the order of now-nothings is
not what it was represented to US, and believing it
to be in opposition to good morals and in violation
of law, and directly opposed to the obligation of
and renounce forever our fellowship with, said par
ty known as know nothings. a. ID. GATES,
