nation of Governor Bragg and that recommendation
endorsed BY our town authorities, was very generally

GREAT BATTLE EXPECTED.-The European cor
respondents of several papers say that great battle
is shortly expected in the Crmea tile great battle
of the war so far at least. The Russians have been
concentrating their forces and can bring together
within few days about 10000 men, and the allies
about an equal number. The Russians will have the
advantage of being more homogeneous force. The
allies will be of three four nationalites-French'
English Turks and Sardinians. The Russians are
stubborn and rritated. The allies are flushed with
recent success and better armed. The result will be
looked for with great anxiety in Europe, and vast
interest even here Of course victory is core essen
tial to the invaders than the invaded. Should the
allies be defeated ii would be difficult to estimate the
consequences should the Russians be defeated they
are still comparatively at home.

Know NOTHING OArHs AND SECRECY ABANDONED
IN VIRG1N1A.-The know-nothings of Virginia were
in State council at Lynchburg on the 10th and 10th
instant. They resolved not to nominate their candi-
dates for President and Vice President before the LIST
of June, 1856. From present appearances we would
not be surprised if at that time it deemed advsa-
BILE to wind up the concern and 90 regularly into
bankruptcy. The first step towards such result
was taken by the adoption of the following resolu-
ton
" Resolved, Gas the judgment of this convention
That all ceremonies of initiation into the American
party should be discontinued and all obligations of 81.
crecy removed that its meetings should be open and
public, and its proceedings conducted in accordance
with the ordinary usages of political bodies and
that we invite the cooperation of all good men who
approve the principles and objects of the party"
When know nothingism is shorn of its ceremonies
of nhaton its oaths and its secrecy there is scarce
ly anything of it left But little credit is due to a
party for reforming its organization under the coer

The Love Of Money,

In the cathechism for the Nineteenth
Century, says Hiram Fuller, the true an
swer for the question, "What is the chief
end Of mani" Should be---Money. When
one pauses to reflect upon this universal
scramble after "the root of all evil" the
money-mania of the day becomes a sort
of a miraculous phenomenon. seems to be
the summum bonum Of human exstance.
The ultima thule of human effort Men
work for it, fight for ie, beg for it, steal for
it, starve for it, preach for it, lie for it, live
for it, and die for it. And all the while,
from the cradle to the grave, nature and God
are ever laundering in our ears the solemn
question What shall it profit man to
gain the whole world and lose his own soul!"
This madness for money is the strongest and
lowest Of the passions; it is the insatiate
Moloch Of the human heart, before. whose
Temorseless alter all the fine attributes of
humanity are sacrificed. It makes mer-
chandize ofall that is sacred in human affec-i
lions; ana even tsaffics in the awful sol.
emnities of the eternal world. Fathers
sell their Daughters for gold; and temples
dedisated to religion srs used as marts for
she display fthe giittering temptation.
