Know.Nothings in Venezuela.

The Know-Nothings are said to be very
numerous in Venezuela, and their method
of dealing with foreigners is a remarkably
vigorous one. Not long since every foreign
er in the city Of Coro was driven out, and
many of their stores sacked. They escaped
with their lives, on board vessels, to Curacao.
A Maracaibo paper justified this harsh pro-
ceedng, and also counseled the Venezuelan
Congress to pass laws prohibiting foreign
ers to trafi, in the country. TIE strongest
opposition seems to be directed against the
Germans, who are threatened with a gener-
al massacre if they do not em'grate.
The above is a good illustration of the
true spirit of the secret order. 1t is bigot-
ed, cruel and tyranical. Ifit should succeed
in carrying out its present views in the u.
States, there, is no telling what horrible ex.
cesses it would next indulge in. Yet we
find men claiming to be good citizens. yea,
ministers Of the gospel. tanning the flames
Of bigotry and hate, and encouraging an
organization whose principles, in every res
pect, are identical with the one which is
thus outragiug Christianity and humanity

Disasters on the Alleghe ry.

About thirty fleets averaging from four
TO six RATS each, Of boards and timber, broke
loose in the Allegheny river this morning,
six miles above this city, and came down
en- masse against the piers of the upper
bridge, where they were broken and smash
ed up in shocking manner. For a time
the river between the BRIGGS was SO literal
ly filed with the wrecks that the steamboats,
plying there could not get through them
We saw on several broken RATS, men OK,
ertng thern:elv with great energy, some
with board and others with poles, 10 keep
from coming in contact with the piers of the
St. Clair St, Bridge, and by great exertion
60 Il rough them and landed safely on the
b snk below. Other wrecks had no one to
guide them and when last seen were making
their way into the Ohio river.
The cause of this break is doubtless the
sudden rise in the Allegheny, having come
up about two and half feet since yester-
day.
1t is said the river was lined with lumber
from this city to three miles above Sharps-
burgh, and that owing to this accumulated
mass it was impossible to secure these RATS
SO as to render them safe in clse of rise in
the river The loss to the owners must be
heavy notwithstanding many oi the wrecks
will be secured. Pitts. Chron.
