They seem determined to make Judgement in the
East, and are fortilying the Bay of Kamiesch A
few weeks ago, it was stated that they had Sc
cured lease for fourteen years, of the barracks
ground at Constantinople, and the Turks are be-
ginning to manifest surprise at the long stay ap-
parently meditsted by their allies. The Paris Non
iear too, which is the official organ of the French
Government, contains this significant paragraph
"The last dispatches from the Crmea announce
that the Notifications destined to cover Kamiescb
rapidly advancing. * The necessity of
fo!tifying the Bay Of Kamiesch had been long
recognized, and early in the year the Emperor
called the attention Of the General-in Chief to this
important object; but the severity of the season,
and the more pressing exigences of the siege,
would not allow this great work to be commenced
as early as wished Thanks to the arrival of the
numerous renforcements received by the allied ar

ity, and will soon be completed. Kamiesci Is tram

will grow with the war operations in the Crimea.

Wing TRICK.-We are informed that the Nash
vile Gazette last week published what purported
to be the nominations of the so called American
party in this county, follows: For Congress F.
X. Zocofer; for Floater Herman Cox; Senate
A. Robb Representative N. G. Dave, and stating
the fact that Messrs Robb and Davie are democrats
sneeringly asks, whether know Nothingism is
wing trick For the information of the Gazette
we will state that there is doubt that it is wing
trick and Furthermore it resorts to very trans
parent and disreputable tricks to give itself respec-
liability and standing. For instance, take this very
case Mr.. Robb is announced as their Candidate
for the Senate, and great blow is made over the
fact that he is a democrat What is the truth OF
this matter? Why simply that Mr. Robb is nei-
ther their candidate for Senator or member of
their party In proof of this we would state that
in the democratic county meeting held here OF Sat-
utdsy last W. A. Quarles, Esq, stated that he was
authorized to brand as false every statement con-
meeting him with the order. That he was true
democrat and had no connection with any secret
ponucal societywhatever s#
what the dark lanterns expect to gain by such
unauthorized use of the names of democrats when
tneir trickery can be so promptly exposed we are
ST a loss to determine. Certainly they cannot hone
TO gam much reputation for honesty or fair DEALING

MEssRs EDIroRs-Gents: You will do me
particular favor to publish at your earliest con-
venience, the following notice of an article con-
tanned in the Springfield American of the 10th inst,
in which my name is mentioned. have forwarded
the same to Mr.. ]. L. DAVIS, editor of said paper,
addressing him as follows
To the Editor of the Springfield American:
Mr.. ]. L. DAvIs-Dear Sir: notice in your pa
per of the 10th inst slight in an article, in
which my name is mentioned; and an satisfied
you will do me the justice to publish the following
statement as correction ofsaid error.
In the article alluded to, you say, ave were at
loss to know why he (myself) was waging such
terrible war against the poor know nothings, and
upon inquiry, found that he was foreigner him.
SELF and like all the rest of them, an enemy to our
institutions" This to me personally is matter of
little consequence; but as q matter of duty and
courtesy from one gentlemen to another, and of
justice to myself feel under obligations to inform
you that I am q native born Tennessean, and that
at the period of my BIRTH my parents resided with
in three miles of the town of Gsllatin. They were
born in North Carolina of respectable parentage Of
Irish and Scotch descent. Ny parents now sleep
beneath the green sod il the first district of old
Robertson. A beautiful grove of young poplar and
dogwood with their rich foliage, protects from the
scorching rays of burning sun their silent tomb
brother of mine, not stranger in old Robertson
now sleeps by their side. Guided by their native
goodness of heart, they neglected no opportunity
to be useful to their ellow-mortsls always incul-
eating the best moral precepts to the rising genera
ton; cautiouing them against the works of dark
ness, often repeating in the language Of Scripture,
Chat some love darkness rather than light because
their deeds evil" and that truth is mighty and
will prevail that it fears not the light of noon
days sun; and that an honest man has noueht to
fear and that secrecy in matters pertaining to pub
lie good, or wherein we are all individually con-
cerned, should ever be discountenanced. Thus
taught and educated, it is not surprising that I
should take stand against the secret political or
der now in our midst, called the know-nothing
party.
Perhaps have committed an error in wsging q
terrible acar against them III have. so soon as I
make the discovery, viii retrace my steps and
make amends to the full extent for all the mischief

In conclusion, accept your invitation to pay
you another VISIT and hope, on the OCCASION to be
permitted to occupy the judges stand, and to again
address the citizens of Springfield and its vicinity,
on the subject of know-nothingsm.
Please give notice in your paper that on the I'd
Saturday in July next, will visit you again, to
resume my lectures on know-nothingsm.

minutes before ne breathed his last, he requested
Ned Buntln should convey the intelligence of his
death to bis father, the Angel Gabriel, that he
might be buried with his brass knucks on. His
colt or sluug shot with which he had broken the
heads of many 'furriners," he tequeathed to Il 9
heirs of Bill Poole. His money, some fifty thou
sand dollars which he had realized in selling char
tiers to greenhorns to start Konw-Nothing lodges
with, he gave 20 Gen. Joseph Hiss for the pur-
pose of founding house Of designation, where
the Legislature of Massachusetts, might spend the
peoples money. His funeral occurred precisely at
midnight the corpse being followed by a small
number of Thugs, who showed their devotion to
their chief and prophet by planting at the head of
his grave Upas tree and sowing dog fennel and
gympson weed upon the mound. The service
closed by the Thugs grooming, tearing their hair,
and beating their breasts, which continued until
daylight began to dawn, when they skunk back to
their hiding places.

GREAT FEAT OF New STEAM FIRE ESGINE.-
The steam fire engine, built by the Bros. LATTA
for New Orleans was tested yesterday at the cana
basin in this city, by the efficient crew of the en-
CINE B. B. Latts, and threw the extraordinary dis
lance Of 262 feet measuring from the nozze)
through an inch and half nozzle. During the tri-
all the hose burst and the force of the stream was
such that it broke the leg of boy named HART

fire engines are confident that this one for New

The undersigned, citizens of Lewisburg and its
vicinity, take occasion to state to the public that
we were induced, by invidious persuasion, to join
the know nothing organization" Among other
devices, we were informed that there as nothing
in the order that interfered with our principles,
and that its object and tendency was to advance
sound and conservative principles and to put down
denagogueisH. A fair trial has satisfied US that no
man who claims to be free man can be know moth
ing without surrender ofhis rights and privileges;
that it is at war with the spirit of republication,
and virtually destroys the "power of the ballot
box"
We have therefore withdrawn from the associa-
tion, and earnestly warn our friends against being
caught in snare so dangerous to civil and relig-
ious liberty. Many of US have been denounced
for our Withdrawal, but we care net for it. We
intend to be freemea, and to do our duty as such
