THE MEMORY OF THE HEART.
Know Netting.


In the London Times of April 9th we find
a long article on the subject Of parties ond
politics in the United States The follow
ingi the concluding paragraph in relation
to the Know Nothings:
"If these are The est blished principles Of
the Know Nothing party. we cannot Int re-
gard them with considerable sympathy
We have ever watched with admiration The
progress Of the United States. as long as it
is directed to those legitimate objects hich
are To be found within the msgni ticent Ter.
ritores Of the Union. A less favorable opin-
ion of their policy and condition has only
been formed and expressed in Europe. when
public opinion in the United States was
misled by factious sgitators, or misdirected
to objects incompatible with the rights Of
others. The strength Of the Union and the
peace of the world would be protected and
secured by policy which processes to con.
cen,rate the strength OF the American PEG.
pie on American objects. The language OF
the new party appears to w to be patriotic
aud wise, and far more nearly akin to the
true principles of the founders Of the Com
mo nweal,h than the scandalOus attempts OF
the modern Democrats to CT urt popularity at
the expense of honesty and honor. The
Know Nothings owe their existence to
reaction against the follies and excuses Of
Kossuih meetings. Of irish Journalism, OF the
Romish priests. and OF Mr.. Pierce's Ministers.
and it is not improbable that they will sue.

The discovery OF the "crisis" and "per.
picking predicament." belongs TO the Repub-
licans we anxiously await It's statement of
facts and arguments, promising to give to
both our undivided attention. Will the Re-
publican begin! Ii aye, when!-Kad Cour,
April 25th.
IL is difficult sometimes to determine upon
q question in which duty to ourselves as
well as duty to the public is Involved. Ii
Is doubtful sometimes as TO whether advice
may not be considered intrusive, and hence
offensive and imperative. One has right
60 be careful how he advises his neghbors,
when the chances are that he snail be
charged with sefshness as his reward We
await the voice of the press elsewhere as
well as here, and will readily listen to aud
obey the words Of wisdom, come from
whence they may.--( Ind Rsput.
We have also asked the Republican for
some facts in connection with this terrible
hullaboo it has been raising about nothing.
The above is its answer! After pitching
into Indiana papers for remaining quiet and
not yociferously raising terrible muss at
some "crisis" or dreadful condition of things
the Republican sees--the editors Of that pa.
per, when called upon to speak on the snb-
ject themselves, and ex plain themselves and
the subject, very modestly reply that their
advice may be "considered intrusive, ind
hence offensive and imperative y" Did ever
profound ignorance attempt to conceal it's
ugly features with SO fimsy veii! These
shallow pans have been endeavoring their
utmost to Brighten quiet people with tae cry
thatthe State is in condition of revolution
and anarchy, about to be blown up into liz.
tie bits of pieces, smashed into fragments.
&c. &C., all through the want ofan arportion-
ment law-and pointing their fingers and
hallooing at editors quietly sitting on bar
Tels of gunpowder smoking their pipes, and
actually discussing local questions as il all
were safety, instead OF damnab!e Danger
And when these editors jump up aud want to
know what in the deuce is the matter, and
why the Republican chaps have made such
a frightful noise, and wherein is the danger,
and what may be the reusedy--ihey reply
that advice from them may be considered
intrusive. and hence offensive and inopera-
ttive." Although our advice may be "con-
ssidered intrusive. and hence offensive and in.
operative" We would suggest to the editors
Of the Republican that they will pass for
much smarter men il they keep their mouths
closed, and do the Republican party much
better service. Asses betray themselves
even in the dark when they open their
mouths. ...tt. attssrf

Mysterious Occurrence--,wo men hung

Mysterious OCcurrcnce--tWO men hung
San Juan. Cal, March 24.-We had quite
an excitement here the day before yesterday
occasioned by the following circumstance:
Mr.. Harris. hotel-keeper in this place, bad
two saddles taken from his stable on the
night OF the 2lst inst. The next day, about
nine o'clock, a young man informed Harris
that some three or four men were encamped
i'm the hills near this place. Harris, not
thinking much Of the story, passed by the
place to see ii IL was true; when to his eur.
rrise, lie saw three Mexicans sitting in camp.
having their horses feeding at short dis
lance, and both saddles on the ground along
with two others. Harris stopped there.
while q mar who was 10 company with him
ran short distance to house for gun
Meanwh lille, the thieves mounted their horses
bareback, and escaped. party from this
place started in pursuit. following their trail
several miles; and when passing under some
oak trees they saw two men hanging by the
neck. or by the head. for the rope passed
through the mouth, and was tied at the back
Of the neck, for the purpose Of making them
die a horrid death. One Of them was shot
in the head; the other was stabbed in the
side. They were either Chilenos or Mexi-
cans, and had been hanging about two d-ys.
Who committed the act is as yeti mystery.
One of the persons who escaped from Harris
left his pantslooss behind. in the pocket of
which was a djschargs from the State Pri-
son-last month, the 9Th of February-Sad

One Of our nearest neighbors, in fact our
nearest nsighbor a. town Of importance,
is Newburg. ten miles above US on the river.
1t 10 admirably situated on the river bank {,
and Just near enough below Scuffltown bar
to enjoy advantages similar to those Of towns
situated on the upper Mississippi, at the
foot Of the upper and lower Rspids, like Da.
venport and Keokuk. These prominent bars
are to the Ohio what the Rapids are to the
upper Mississippi. But few years ago
Newburg was but small village, prominent
only ne the shipping point Of an immense
deal Of produce for the surrounding country.
But lately it has been making rapid strides
in advancement, and is now one of the
prominent business points on the lower
Ohio. During the last two years large
number OF houses have been built, some of
which are very handsome dwellings. and es-
pecially marked for good tasee. Indeed,
there are residences in Newburg which are
OF far higher character in taste and value,
proportionaie to the respective sizes OF the
places, than cur best dwellings in Evans
vile. Property has been rising rapidly in
value. even during the late dull times, and
there is every evidence about Newburg
Of prospective prosperity.
Newburg is the prominent town Of the
best agricultural county in extreme Southern
Indiana. The immense produce Of large
agricultural region finds it's depot at New
burg, thence TO be shipped TO distant markets.
There are large and fine dry goods and gro
Gerry stores at Newburg for the supply OF the
surrounding country. and they are doing .
good business. They have an excellent no.
tel with ample accommodations, in the way
Of comfortable rooms aud plenty TO eat, fol
oil visiting strangers. We should much
have liked to make a longer visit Ia
Newburg, and visited ito coal mines, mile
and halfTsbOve the town. but were compeIL
ed to postpone ill another time al such per.
ordinations, and satisfy ourself with 9
brief view, and our friends there with briel
notice.

Sanders, the spicy editor Of the Evansville
Journal paid cor town short visit on Thurs
day. OF couise he called on Us at our sane

We.were rather favorobly impressed with
