A New Secret Society.

A new secret society, it is said, has been
organized in this city. The object is neither
political nor religions. The purpose is
simply to obtain drink of the "ardent -
in spite of the law, on Sunday. A head
quarters has been established in a subter-
ranean place, and regular signs and pass
words have been devised. The initiated
goes to a certain door on Sunday and gives
a tap. When he knows that a person is
listening, he gives the word Bow-wow
says the fox" The door is then opened.
The barkeeper then looks attentively at the
new conner, and says mysteriously, NUNS
the word To this the initiated replies,
by making peculiar sign upon his breast.
If this is satisfactory, the barkeeper con-
ducts him through various subterranean
passages, to Yaulted apartment where a
table is placed; and as candle casts it's
dim, mysterious light around the room,
the bacchanalian indnlges in "a; smile, I"
both in contempt Of the law. and in deep
qualification, Having quenched his fiery
thirst, he retires in the same mysterious
way -Philadelphia'lfeoy .American. !.

Speech from the Gallows.

James Parks, who was executed at
Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, for the muir
der of man named Beatson, made quite
long speech from the gallows. Refer
ring to his family, he said:
I leave a dear wife, who has, in my
long confinement, been an angel in her So
licitude and care of me. had never
known her virtues, had it not been for my
sad misfortunes. 1 leave dear infant,
who has been taught to clasp its arms
around my neck, and whom love dearly.
I leave aged parents, now near eighty
years old, from whose kind hearts l had
hoped to keep the sad news of the igno-
minious fate of their son. (Here his voice
faltered, and he burst into tears.) 1t was
for the sake of all these that I attempted
yesterday to shorten my life day.
When I am taken hence give my body
to my wife. / commend her and the child
to you. Let her not suffer in want. Here
some kind person proposed to express the
feelings of those present, by taking up a
contribution, and it was done on the spot;
and $44 60 was contributed. On seeing
it, Parks seemed moved by the kindness,
and thanked them with considerable emo
ton. He concluded by declaring his in
nocence, and gave the signal for his exc
cution, by dropping handkerchief,

Wise's Election-K. N. National Coun-
Gil &c

The opposition press in Ohio contend
that the Virginia election is a pro-Slavery
triumph. Know Nothing papers in this
latitude in speaking of this matter, assert
that if the principles on which he MIR.
Wise) is elected continue to prevail, they
must lead to the exclusion of slavery from
every Territory. The emigrants from
Europe will spread over the land, and, in
time, control the destinies of the Terrific
ries." 1t is a fact as palpable as the sun
at midday, when unobscured by cloud,
that if check is not put upon emigra-
tion hither, the number of the free States
will increase with such rapidity and the
power of the free States so augment, as
to render it utterly impossible for the
South to extend its institution of slavery
much, even if it is given all the opportu-
nifty it wants to do so. Check emigra-
ton, and put disability upon Catholics,
and matters will very materially be alter
ed. The influence of the South will not
then be brought subservient to an infu-
ence calculated to affect it vitality in the
future
The National Know Nothing Council
in session at Philadelphia is now the prom
inent theme of conversation. Every State
and Territory is represented. The Ohio
Delegation was not admitted until it took
what is called the Third or Union degree.
At the American Banquet given on the
7th, most of that Delegation absented it
self. 1t would seem that the members of
that Delegation are not disposed to figure
much at that Council. They want to car
ry Ohio on the pretence that they are es-
pecially Free Soil, and yet they do not
wish to break with their Southern breth-
rem. They are in ticklish predicament,
depend on it. George Laws star seems
in the ascendant with a majority of the
Council, for the Presidency. Houston
appears to be out of the question, and so
does Fillmore The indications just now
are that the Order will take up an entirely
new man, who has not been prominently
connected with politics heretofore, and
who has never held Office. He will be "a
good-lord- -good-deviP sort of man. At
this meeting of the Council the question
as to who shall be the Presidential candi-
date will not be decided. The platform,
however, will be laid down, and that will
undoubtedly be what is called commonly,
Pro-slayery. This will not suit the Order
in Ohio, though it will be permitted to
fight the coming election on the Abolition
tack, with the understanding that it shall
support the nominee for the Presidency
who will be thoroughly sound on the slave
ry question. The Louisiana Delegation,
which had discarded the Protestant test
has been refused admittance. That set
tied the point that warfare upon the Cath
olics is to be continued. - Washington City

CAPTURE OF ANOTHER "F1LL1BusrER :"

CAPTURE OF ANOTHER FILLBUsTER :"
VESSEL. some time past the govern
ment has been keeping watch on two
suspicious vessels lying at anchor off the
coast of Florida The Star of last Tues
day evening says dispatch from Mobile
was received at Washington, announcing
that the revenue cutter on that station had
just brought into the port of Mobile one
of the suspected vessels, which is said to
be loaded with boxes of army ammunition.
The Government Immediately telegraphed
the district attorney at Mobile to libel her.
1t is not improbable that Col. Kinney, who
is among the missing, is on his way to
Florida to embark his expedition on these
vessels. If so, he is doomed to another
disappointment.

Volcanic Phenomenon in Nova Scotia.

Volcanic Phenomenon in Nova Scotia.
The ST. Johns News states that there has
been great excitement among the inhab-
itants along the southwest shores of Nova
Scotia, by series Of small earthquakes,
which have taken place on the Granville
mountains. Several months since the noun
tain quaked, and deep fissure was opened
in it, from whence smoke issued for about
four weeks About three weeks since, the
ground was sagain violently agitated, a large
chasm was opened, and forthwith a volume
of smoke and stones were elected. Erup-
tions of this mountain, since that time, have
occurred almost daily, and many persons
have moved from the Immediate neighbor-
hood, owing to the danger of being de-
stoyed by huge rocks thrown from the
crater.

Hon. VIM. D. Morgan.

An independent and straight forward
public officer is sure to be the object of
censure and malicious attacks by certain
class of characters. No public officer in
Ohio has received as much personal and
uncalled for abuse as Mr.. Morgan. His
position as Auditor of State, throws him
in contact with such variety of charac-
ter, that it would be strange if some would
not affect to be dissatisfied. As an officer,
he is one of the most honest and efficient
Ohio has ever had. As citizen, his life
is beyond reproach. 1t is true he is a
man of great decision of character, and
on this account some may not like him
personally. Much complaint has been made
by our opponents about Mr.. Morgan's po-
sition on the tax law If the law is wrong,
it is no fault of his. He is only the in
strumeht to carry out the spirit and letter
of the law. He makes no law himself
neither does he put construction on any
pertaining to his official position. The
Attorney General is elected for that pur-
pose. 1t is his business to explain to
State officers the meaning Of all laws con-
nected with their official position. A
State officer places no final construction
on any law where there is doubt. This
every intelligent person knows. Then
what daring attempt at humbuggery is
made by our Know Nothing opponents tc
make the people believe that Mr.. Morgan
is the sole cause of the operation of the
tax law. He has only carried out the de.
cision of the Supreme Court of the State
on the very sections of the law to which
objection is made. If there is any wrong
it is in the Law and in the Supreme Court
not in Mr.. Morgan.-Ashiand Union.

son of Mr.. T. ]. Clagett, of Fairmont,
Marion co., Virginia, lost his life, on Fri
day, last week, while attempting to save
the life of his father, who was placed in a
perilous situation by losing CONTROL of his
boat while crossing Valley river. The
son, knowing that his father could not
swim, and being himselfan excellent SWIM
mer, plunged into the stream, which was
much swollen from the recent rains, for the
purpose of saving his parent; but his faith
er reached the shore in the boat, while his
noble and affectionate son sunk only to
rise a corpse.
