SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union, quoting the late speech of Mr..
Banks, contends that it indicates the determ.
ination of the Know Nothings hereafter To
tamper with the jury box. The sam. i,prna,

BURSTING OF A MoUNTAIN-Prospect ofa
Volcano IN Arkamsas-We learn from gen
tleman in Scott county, that mountain, about
five miles from Waldren, has exploded three
times during the last week, The explo ions
were very loud and terrific, causing the earth
around to quake, throwing up stones and earth,
and filling the atmosphere with clouds of dust
and smoke. The report Of one of the explo
sions was heard in the vicinity Of this
town few mornings since, distance of
As or so miles. The earth on the mountain
has sunk to considerable depth. The peo-
pie in the vicinity are very much alarmed.
These are facts as far as We are able to learn;
but we hope to hear moro fully and par
ticularly in few days. What does it mean ?
Are we to have a volcano in eur State, belch-
ing forth fire and smoke, and hurting red hot

CoUTTs.-The Baltimore Patriot in speak.
ing Of he concert which is to come off on Tues
day evening next in the Monumental city,
says:
Of course "Coutts" will be here-wiIl be at
the Opera. And who is t'Coutts?" asks the
reader. Well, all we can tell you is, tn at she
is an English lady who attracts as much at
tention as the Opera ITSELF from the fact that
she is monomaniac, and has conceived pas
sion for the handsome Mario, which has caused
her to leave her homs and follow him to the
United States. Wherever he goes. she is sure
to follow. If Mario stops at a certain hotel,
"Coutts is sure to stop there toe. At the
Opera she always takes prominent seat, and
sits with her sad and melancholy eyes fixed
constantly on Mario, like the vacant stare of a
dreamer. Such is "Coutts," who has created
so much gossip among tho connoisseurs, and
assisted in filling the houses Of the Opera.
