MEssRs. EDITORS The Baltimore Sun, comment
ing upon the causes of yellow fever in that City in
1S49, differs materially from the Physicians who
advised the repeal of the hog law passed short
time since by our Commissioners. Itsays 1t may
be remembered that in June, ls49, our City was in
pestilent condition from filthy streets, lanes aud
thoroughfares and other innumerable sources of dis
ease, besides the presence at that time within her
limits Of numberless pig styes reeking with horrid
gasses. Of the deleteri0us endnations which must
have resulted from these syes tolerable conjecture
may be formed by passing in the vicinity of one Of
the many places where scine feed on City gar
6age." ~ "Our citizens warned of their dan.
ger, determined, by virtue of sort of Lynch au.
thorty to take the health department in their own
hands. The pigs were remoced from with-
in tho City limits, and the system of garbage carts
established. "The consequence of all which
was that the fever soon disappeared aud the City
entirely escaped the Cholera which was then preva-
lent to fearful extent in all the coast cities"
The reason assigned by our City authorities for
repeating that law must to oper ate now, since
the summer fruits have disappeared from our mar.
ket, and We hope they will hasten to reenact it. and
enforce it Vigorously There is no longer any 'City
garbage for swine to feed upon. but they carry the
"deleterious " emanation to every mans door--to
every mans nose. Whoever urged the repeal of the
law must have been as much perplexed for q reason
as was the boy who refused to bring chips to his
mother when there was deep snou upon the ground.
Bring me some chips to bake with, my sonny"
sad the mother. I" l can't" said the boy, "Why
can't you ?" said the mother, I'm 'fraid" said the
boy. What in the name of goodness you afraid

w The New York correspondent of the Will
mington Commercial gives the following account of
q new order in New York, which is evidently an
offshoot of Know Nothingism:
"The recent expose of the Templars, new order
of Know Nothings, together with the publication of
their ritual in several Of the leading journals of the
city, continues topic of interest. The order is an
oGshoot of the X. N organization, "a wheel within
wheel" 1t was founded in the Spring of 1854
in this city, and in May, 30 there were 30 Temples
in the counties of New York and Kings, numbering
perhaps 10000 voters. Death is the penalty of re.
veang any secret of the order. Its cardinal prin-
ciples to be active enmty against the Pope
and all his emissaries, nonntercourse with all Ro
Catholics to the extent Of refusing to associate
with one friend to have if possible no business
intercourse with one, neither marry one or permit
child to do so; in short, to regard Catholics as
persons whose religion is anti-Republcah, and who
are endeavoring by of Jesuits and Priests to
conquer the land of Washington. The members
are sworn by most solemn oath to stand by and
protect each other by personal vo ence if necessary
and to obey the dictates of the order, its officers and
its congress, although it should lead to DEATH"

ATLANTIC AND N. G.. RAILROAD.

This Road, when constructed, will connect with
the North Carolina Road at Goldsborough, and will
extend to Beaufort Harbor, being in length about
ninety-one miles, The distance from Gollsborough
to Newbe,n, fifty-seven miles. .... a., ASH IS.
We learn that the work between Newbern and
Goldsborough is progressing rapidly The high
price of iron may delay for short time, the COM
pletion of the Road from Newbern to Beaufort
Forty five hundred tons of rail have been purchased
at fair prices, and one thousand tons delivered at
Newbern. Two ships. loaded with iron for the Road,
sailed from England for Beaufort in August last
1t is expected that the contractors will commence
laying rails in November next. f...- l..
We learn that the Road is to be nearly an air line.
The warehouses at Shepard's Point, on Beaufort
-Harbor-the point at which the Road is to termi-
nate-are to be so located and constructed that
ship drawing twenty-one feet, may discharge and
receive freight from the same directly and at New
bern the warehouses will be similarly located and
constructcd-thus saving to farmers and merchants
the expenses of drayage, &C. This is an important
arrangement, and cannot fail to add to the value of
the work. .s. 80.
The Atlantic Road, we are assured, is to be con-
structed Of durable materials, and to be made, in
every respect, first class Road
We are indebted to John D. Whitford, Esq, the
energetic President of this Road, for handsomely
executed map of Beaufort Harbor, showing the va
rious localities surveyed, the depth Of water, and
the comparative advantages of the terminus, Shep-
ards Point. The map can be seen at our Office.
We look forward with deep interest to the COM
pletion of this work. If there was doubt before,
the subscription by the State, just made in accord
ance with the charter of the last session, renders
the completion Of the enterprise fixed fact. The
period is not distant we trust when North Carolina
will not only find outlet for most of her pro-
ducts through her own ports, but when her people
will import for themselves through these ports the
various articles of merchandise required for con-
sumption, considered desirable for Improvement
luxury and ornament Beaufort Harbor has many
advantages, which we'll known; and the trade
and travel which will follow the completion Of the
Road must result, sooner or later in building up at
that point an important commercial City.

The LOUISVILLE ATRocrTIEs-The effect of the

such paragraphs the following, which we copy
from the Louisville Times:

ry Bauer, has closed his house, and intends leaving
for Canada in a few days. Mr. B. has, within the

just above the city, has sold out and few days ago

avowed eternal allegiance to-"

Philadelphia Sun.
The above is from the &c Philadelphia Sum-" lead
ing Know Nothing print-one of the organs of some
of the Northern allies of Messrs. Rayner and Haugh-
ton who did not secede from the Philadelphia Con-
vention. The Sun is quite as bitter in its tone

w The National Intelligencer Iejoices over the
action of the remnant the Wings of Maine in aiding
the Democrats to defeat the Fusionists. 1t says:
ave are happy to perceive, by the following call
for State Convention. and comments thereon by
the Boston Courier, that the Wings of Massachu-
setts, taking fresh heart apparently from the mpor-
tant result of hasty rally by the Wings of Maine,
are determined to be in the field under their own
proper name at the ensuing election for State off,
GERS in Massachusetts,. By this course If they ac-
complish nothing more consequential they will at
least have maintained their own selfrespect We
do not doubt that they will, in the end, have just
reason to congratulate themselves at this determi
nation"
TIL Fusion vote in Maine is 4s,7O@the Demo
cratic 45, ,22s-the whig 1o,2s1. This shows where
the Wing vote has gone, and is another proof that
Know Nothingsm is Whiggery in disguise.

TIE AMERICAN ORDER IN New YoRK.-The Know
Nothing State Council of New York. in session at
Binghamton, did not admit representatives of the
press to its session. Nevertheless those indefatga-
BILE gentlemen somehow contrived to give reports of
its sayings and doings, which are of course to be
received with some degree of caution. They say
that out of thin teen hundred Councils said to exist
in the State, only one hundred and eghty.fve were
represented. The most important intelligence is
that the Platform was unanimously adopted; in re.
ference to which the New Nork Commercial Adver-
tiser pertnently asks, :. How many Platforms are
the Know Nothings to havef One in each State,
Territory, county, village modified as circumstances
require Fit looks like it." 81 a

The PIETY OF THE KNOW -NoTHNGs.-The Phila-
dclphia platform of the know-nothings opens with
an irreverent declaration of obedience to the One
Supreme Being-a somewhat daring assumption,
when recollect that the order proscribes belev-
er in God like the Catholic, and does not prescribe
the unbeeving Atheist
The nrnhlem of this declaration Of tho Lnnp.nnth.

what the law is and what the "point is, the deci-

War Department is doubtless embarrassed by the
wording of the law-and the back pay is not with

Gen. Scott. 1t is not just to censure the Depart.
ment for mistake or an omission in the act passed
by the Congress.
Let the defect be remedied, say we, and let the
old veteran have what is right The Republic can
afford to be liberal towards him-can be So and be
proud of the act. As military man he has no
equal among living men and he has performed, in
this capacity, most important service for the coun
