Know Nothing Defeats.

The tide of success that at first attended the contests with the know nothing party has won- derfully changed. They are now meeting with as disasterous defeats as heretofore they have achieved signal victories.
 To show the strong tide of popular feeling that is sweeping them into hopeless minorities, we give few results of elections, where during the last twelve months they achieved their greatest victories:
 Cincinnati Akron Chilicothe Cuyahoga Falls, Dayton, New Richmond, Medina, Toledo. Sandusky Hamilton and Fremont all in Ohio Last fall these places gave large know ncth- ing majorities. They are now strongly anti know nothing
 A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. writing from Madison, Ia., under date of April 5, says:
 Our city election was held on Monday last. The great battle was fought. and the principles of civil and religious liberty trumphed. The know nothingS had formed their ticket in secret council, and ushered it before the public under the captivating name of the "people's tcket'-- they were on the ground early, marshaling all thertorces, but, inspite of their desperate exer tions, the entire anta kaoa0-nothang ticket was elected by an aUerage majority of c hmadyea and taoenty.fUe. Last October our city was know nothing about two to one. The know nothing ticket was composed entirely of ultra know nothing whigs.
 In Lynchburg, Va, the local elections came off on the Sd inst, and resulted in the entire de- feat of the know nothing ticket
 The Detroit Free Press, (Michigan) in speak, ing ol the recent spring elections in that State says:
 The returns of the township election held on Monday indicate that the democracy have swept the State. Know nottingham and fu- sionism seem generally to have combined, but with very indifferent success, even in some anti. democratic strougholds. Our impression is that the result will show an old-fashioned democrat. ic victory"
 In November last the know -nothngs carried Michigan, electing their State ticket by hand some majority, and choosing great proportion of the Legislature. Now the state of affairs is entirely reversed, and the democr ats have again the ascendency. Throughout the country there is heavy reaction in public sentiment against the bigoted, proscriptive, secret society The charm ofnovelty and secrecacy which surround ed it has been dispelled and it is now being viewed in its true light, as the most odious and infamous orgaoization that was ever established in the Union, and which could never carry out its purposes without subverting our free institu tions. In city after city, and town after town, Its black flag is being struck to the glorious national standard of democracy, the only true American emblem of freedom.

Further by the Washington.

Nea0 York, April 12.-The total amount of the effective forces of the Russian army in the Crlmea, according to the latest accounts brought by the Washington, amounted to 115,- GOO men.
 The position of the allies before Sevasto- pol was fully established They were con- pletely shut in by enclosures, with formidable entrenohmentS extending to the heights above Balaklava.
 Important events were expected to take place very shortly.
 The condition of the troops was improving.
 The Hospital at Scutari.
 The sutferings of the English troops in the hospital at Scutari are reported as being hor- rible
 Roebuck Committee.
 The revelations which have been made in the course of the examinations before the Roce. buck committee, and published, are appalling
 Prospects.
 The prevalent opinion with respects to the probable issue of events, is said to be that the conclusion of peace is now at hand. Constan- tlnople letters confidently indulge in hopes of peace.
 At London, however, there was convic- ton expressed that Russia would not accede to the conditions proposed by the allies, with respect to the diminution of her power in the Black Sea-
 The Vienna Conference.
 The fourth sitting of the congress at Vienna is represented as having been very stormy. It was looked upon as exceedingly probable, if not certain that the conference would be bro- ken up on the question in reference to the raz- ing of Sevastopol, or the modified form of dimi- nishing her power in the Black Sea.
 France-COnspiracy to Assassinate. Some fifty arrests have been made in Paris on account of the alleged discovery of con- spiracy to assassnate the Emperor Louis Napo- leon.
 The Imperial Guard left Paris for the Crimea on Tuesday, the 18th ult.

CUBA.-The steamship United States arri ved at New York on the 9th inst.
 l The most important news from Havana is the execution of Estrampes, as before given in the Herald. He was garroted on Saturday morning, the 31st of March. He died bravely while seat ed upon the garrote stool, and before the fatal screw was applied he exclaimed -"Death to the tyrants-Long life to liberty. y."-when the deateniug noise of the drums us hered him into eternity. Several other prisoners are in the Moro, and 1t IS feared they will suffer the same fate.
 | One of the passengers writes as follows, on the state ot affairs in Havana:
 i During my stay Ill Havana I found gloom. and terror, and despair depicted on the counte- lances of all 1 met. On inquiring I learned that one of the chief causes of 30 much evident despair was Ill consequence of the cruel manner in which Pinto was put to death His crime was solely of a political nature, for which this much esteemed man, aftectionate husband. and kind father was sent into eternity, his property levied upon, and his wife and helpless children left penniless, and dependent upon the cold charities of straDgers-among whom, 1 am ill., formed, she, with her little ones, intend taking up their future abode. Previous to the mur- der of Pinto, Concha was considered, even by hlo enemies, chiyalroue, brave. noble and gene rouS; but now, poor soul, ,' he has belied truth. betrayed confidence, senced conscience. and IS considered, even by the Cataans, destitute of every generous attribute that ennobes man. This last atrocious act adds thunder to the dark claud that is apparently gathering over the destinies of Cuba which must on some future day, burst forth and wreak its vengeance on those who have the power to destroy.

Cuban Outrages.

New Fork, April 1O.--The President has de. termined to make provisions for the resentment oi any further insults that may be offered to any of our vessels by those of Spain in the waters Of the Gulf. Com McCauley, the com. maader of the Gulf squadron, has beed order ca forthwith to pour broadside into any Span- lsh vessel which may henceforth attempt to mo !. lest our steamers

GLT The Gazette flies into a considerable pas sion because the South Stamp, democratic pa per at Camden, charges it with being know nothing. The South Stamp makes the follow ing notice of the Gazettes connection with the order:
 " It appears that our cotemporary of the Ga zette and Democrat, at Little Rock, has turned political summerset recently turned (we don't mean it in literal sense) know-nothing As we learn he was rejected for membership in the order, short time ago. we suppose he is not genuine but only bogus ( K N"
 This piece of information, thus furnished bv the South Stamp, though the Gazette courte. ously denomirates it "direct and outrsght zyinq," we have oursef heard We do not know how true it is, but we have heard it whispered here on the streets that the gallant Captains petition, for admission into the order, was re- jected How he managed to get in afterwards we do not understa id His paper, for the last few weeks, has given every indication of being a devoted advocate of know nottingham
 The South Stamp supposes he is not genu- inc but only bogus know-nothing. Perhaps this is true. One thing certain-the editor of the Gazette gives strong and indisputable evi- dence of being decided know w-nothing of some sort.

0T The Gazette endeavors, in its last to excuse its misrepresentations about the Gov ernor's absence. It says that it made the state- ment of his having gone to New Orleans only to reprehend him for leaving so stealthily as to prevent the President of the Senate from com ng up to discharge the executive business, and that it made the statement on what it deemed reliable authority.
 It is astonishing to us why man, who sets himself up as public oracle, and an honest one too, as the editor of the Gazette does, should be so often humbugged and deceived. The editor of the Gazette always gets hold of the wrong story, is always the dupe of some mali cious falsehood; and the falsehood always happens to be in his own favor and oqai,st those whom he hates and fears. There does seem te be something at the bottom of it all more than mere accident.
 We remember similar tnistatement of the editors, in relation to the Cairo and Fulton railroad grant of land. He was endeavoring to show the error of the Governor in not conven- Ing the legislature. In order to do so, he made the broad assertion, based upon what he deemed ret0sbIe outhoraty," that the order reserving the lands from sale, which was then about to ex- pre- would not be renewed, and that conse- quently the lands would be entered and lost tc the State The ink upon his paper was hardly dry before positive information reached us thai the order oi reservation had been reneaoe1.
 Thus it is, the editor is always dupe He seems to learn nothing from experience Upor the most indifferent authority he will publish statements, in favor of his views and wishes as positive facts; and then when convicted O. error will get out by replying that he thought his authority "reliabe"
 As to his threats, that in case of Gov. Con ways coming before the people for reelection he has "several complimentary notices fo him." 1t scarcely deserves notice. The editors threats have become stale His game is tha ot mere child-always in passion, some times weeping, sometimes threatening, bu never doing any thing. We cannot but admir-, the perseverance, he exhibits in the premises his perseverance even in little matters. II, has perscvercG in promising to the public, ex posures of corruption enough, if made, to kee, man busly engaged lifetime; and yet th pu bile have not been gratifed in a single in stance. Without making a single exposure, h, goes on promising and threatening, like do tard, too imbecile to execute his malice
 At some leisure moment, we think we vii treat the Governors friends to a dish of th editors threats We have on file about twenty made by him more than year ago, not one O which, though the time has long since elapsed has every been carried into execution. Lik, torpedoes, in the hands of a child, the edito has thrown them about at every body, and ye never injured any one. He has resorted to them so repeatedly that the veriest coward il the world has learned to laugh at them.

Warlike :!

New Fork, April 11.-Indications are apper- ing in various trustworthy quarters, that we are on the eve of entering on war with Spain.
 The President, it appears to be clearly ascer- tained, is now fully determined to bring the differences which have arisen to crisis. The tone of the Washington Union has become very warlike, and the conservative press distinctly show that it apprehends action by the importu : nity with which it demands explanations as to the meaning of the increasing warlike prepara- tions being made.
 The appearances before us are decidedly of a squally character.

THE GAZETTE us THE KNOW NorH1NGs.-

THE GAZETTE vs. THE KNOW NoTH1NGs.-- The Gazette attempts to be very severe upon us for chasing it among the Know Nothings. It gives vent to all of its long pent-up indig- nation, and quotes from its back numbers to show its opposition to Know Nottingham.
 It is the custom of Know Nothings to deny, with the most solemn earnestness, their connec- tion with the order. They seem to have spe- clal license for prevarication, and it is impossi- ble to believe any thing one of them asserts.- go far in this community on this subject. Of course he will deny it-it is part of the Know Nothing doctrine to do SO.
 The editor has only wasted his time in going back to show his position in times past We would have admitted his opposition. Butwhat does his opposition then signify mo,v? Does not his paper clearly show that he is now leaning to the order? Has not his paper, for the last few weeks, been the vehicle through which the Know Nothings have made their defence?-- Has it not contained attacks upon us because of our exposure of Know Nottingham? It has; and does this look like it disapprovcs the doc trincs of the order?
 | The proof of what the editor of the Gazette was yesterday is no evidence of what he is to- day. He has shown, more than once, that he fully appreciates the political maxim of "besny aH things to aN men.' The editor says that, until the order was thought to be in the mino- rty, we took no ground against it. This, if he is know nothing, he kaoacs not to be true-- When he took ground against it, it was thought Know Nottingham, with its corruptive doctrine, would find no votaries in Arkansas We thought so too, and, therefore, devoted our CO., lumns to other discussions. But we were all mistaken. The whigs have succeeded in in troducing the order into the State and have seduced nearly all the dsaffected democrats, and some honest ones, into it. Knowing this, our course was determined, and upon our op- position to its corrupt practices, we are willing to be judged.
 The course of the Gazette has been entirely different When the order was weak and in- significant, that paper belabored it manfully, but since it has grown into importance, the Ga- zette has not only maintained a studied silence upon the subject, but it has published anony- nous defences of the order. Whether the ed itor is a member or not, we do not know and do not care. We can only express our belief that he is, and show that the grounds of that belief are very conclusive. The whole influ- encs of the Gazette, of late, has been given to the advancement of the order in this State. If it is opposed to Know Nottingham, it has most singular way of showing 1t!

From the Louisville Democrat. Legislative Visit to a Catholic School in
 Massachusetts.
 An order had beer passed by the Massachu- setts House of Representatives authorizing the joint committee on nunneries to visit such schools, academies, or similar institutions as they might see fit. Inpursuance of this author ity the committee made visit to Catholic school in Roxbury, and conducted themselves in most extraordinary manner, according to the report of the Boston Daily Advertiser Il paper conspicuous for the careful moderation and ac- curacy of its statements.
 The school visited is situated on the Dedham turnpike, a thoroughfare much frequented, in an ordinary house, not in any way secluded from observation nor surrounded by any barriers. It

THE REAL ESTATE BANK-Owing to the late hour at which we procured the copy of the opinion of Chancellor Fairchid, and the decree of the court, in the case of the State vs the Trustees of the Real Estate Bank and oth- ers much of our editorial this week is crowded out.
 We give the opinion and decree in full, as matters of the deepest interest to our citizens generally.
 It will be seen by the decree, that Col c. F. M. Noland has been appointed Receiver in the place of the trustees removed and that his sal ary, including clerk hire, is placed at S3,5OO.
 One other fact-it will be observed that bonds issued by the State to the State Bank or the Real Estate Bank, and coupons, are made re- ceivable in payment of debts to the Real Estate Bank, and that all bonds redeemed are to be cancelled and filed with the State Treasurer
 Col. Holland has qualified and will, we pre- sume, take immediate charge of the affairs of the Bank

On last Wednesday, the mail carrier be- tween this city and Danville, refused to carry but one bag of mail matter, leaving one behind although the whole did not weigh over sixty pounds The carrier asserted that he was act ing under the instructions of the contractor in thus leaving one half the mail till more con- venient time, or until he had fewer packages of groceries and dry goods to deliver along the route.
 The True Democrat for the following post offices, remained in the bag left behind: Tum- linsonville, Trouble Hill, Petit J can, Shetuck- ct, Perryvile, Panther and Quito.

 Chancery Court, the following proceedings
 were had in this cause, to wit:
 This day came the parties by their solicitors; and Charles F. M. Noland having accepted the appointment of receiver in this cause, rendered his bond in the sum of fifty thousand dollars, with James B. Keats, Charles F. Bertrand, Sterling II. Tucker and Christopher c. Danley as securities, and which bond is deemed good and sufficient, and is by the court here approv- ed; and the said receiver, in open court, took and subscribed the oath required by the orde, of this court, and which was endorsed on the bond, and the bond was ordered to be- and was accordingly filed.
 And thereupon, the said Charles F. NJ. No. land, was declared duly qualified as receiver and the clerk ordered to furnish him with a copy of the previous and of this order. under the seal of this court and to record upon the record of this court the bond of the said re- ceiver.
