Sidney, Shelby County, Ohio,
 August 19. 1855.

DEAR SIR: Last night, about eleven o'clock, the Catholic frame church of thi place was made pile of ruins. A keg of powder was put under the building, with train scattered along the street, which was fired with burning shavings. There is no doubt here that the in cendiary deed was committed by set of know nothing rowdles, such as have just wrought de- vastaton in Louisville.
 trust, for the welfare of our country, that the better class of the American people will soon arouse to proper sense of what this aw- ful spirit of blind persecution for opinions sake IS fast leading to. The better class of know nothings here appear to look with disgust upon these terrible proceedings; but who can tell whether they are sincere? The real friends of religious liberty in our community charge, without reservation that the destruction of the Catholic church here is one more of the fruits of the know nothing crusade.
 Yours, truly,
The true Democrat., 1855-09-11
HE PRESIDENT AT THE VIRGINIA SpRrNcs

HE PRESIDENT AT THE VIRGINIA SPRINGs.-- The President, accompanied by Mrs. Pierce and Mir. Sidney Webster, his private secretary, and J. D. Hoover, Esq, United States Marshal of the District of Columbia, left Washington yesterday morning, for a short sojourn at the Virginia White and Red Sulphur Springs. The health of Mrs. Pierce is very delicate, and her physi- cians suggest absence from the executive mar- sion at the season of fall fevers on which we have just entered.

0GT The personal and political friends" of the editor of the Union and American. publish ed in Nashville, Tenn, have presented him with "a silver pitcher salver, and gobets, and a full tea set" This, they have done as a slight token of the appreciation of his valuable services in the gubernatorial election which has just closed in that State.

secret conelave of "Sam's" boys is exposed to the world, and the truth will soon force itself upon them that their scheme was not well laid, fourished only while hidden in the dark, and doomed to meet an inglorious defeat as soon as fairly presented, and the truth known to the masses of the people.

AMERIoANIzING AMERcA-It is stated upon undoubted authority that there are at this time in the city of New York, five thousand blacks belonging to the know nothing organization Exchange
 In Philadelphia, the know nothing school directors have ordered, that hereafter the white and black children shall be seated promiscu ously together.
 With the above facts before us, one is almost forced to the conclusion that the know noth- ings look upon the negro, as being superior to foreigners, American Catholics, and in fact to all anti know nothngs generally.

The Cairo and Fulton Railroad.

We learn, by the return of Judge Cross and Hon. w. c. Bevens from south east Missouri that the Cairo and Fulton railroad. from the mouth of the Ohio to the Texas boundary line has been put under one management by the joint action of the two companies in Ar. kansas and Mssouri--that an agent to select the lands in Missouri, under the act of Congress making the grant, of 9th February 1853, has been appointed by the Governor of Missouri and that the lands are now in process of beiuo selected, simultaneously with those of Arkan- saS.
 We hazard the opinion that the lands for this line of road will be speedily selected and those remaining to the United States brought into market at an early day. Nothing now but in judlcious management can prevent the ultimate construction of this road as an entirety. The re- sources of the two companies will be ample if the quantity of land contemplated to have been granted, or a near approximation to it, shall be found within the prescribed limits of the grant,

0F In the late election for Judge in the 1st Judicial Circuit, we find that taoo know noth- ings were candidates for that office. Strange that the "ofice should be seeking" tsoo men al the same time. Stranger still, that it was una ble to find either one ef asemi It is truly pity that they did not "seek the office," and throw themselves in its way. hereafter, they should remember, that the office seeks the nuan, no the men!

THE FEVER AT PORTSMOUTH AND NORFOLK "A dispatch, dated Aug 29th says:
 "The whole number of deaths in Ports. mouth, from the commencement of the cpl demic to Tuesday noon, was about 5000.
 For the week ending Tuesday, there were ll8 deaths of fever at Norfolk. The papers had all suspended publication. There is yet no abatement of the disease"

GA subscriber writes to us from Polk, county, that his paper is not received regularly but that he gets it some times after it has been nearly worn out by reading and handling Post masters have no more right to loan newspaper from their office than they have loan a sealed letter. We also have complaints from Spring field, Conway county
 We trust the edict of the know nothing pre- sident to collapse our subscription list has not been adopted by post masters.

$. II. MONTGOMERY,

VT Jud ;e GAYLE of Alabama, formerly know nothing member to Congress, is out against the know nothings.
 By the light of their midnight lanterns, the know no'hinss looked very well. Now, that the monday sun shines upon them the whole aspect IS changed. Spots and blemishes, not discerniblc by the dark lantern, appear by the light of the sun by far too corrupt for numbers of that order. In various sections of the coun- try large number have done just as Judge GAYLE IS doing now, and before the "show is over," we predict that there will be host o traitors to their God and country-as the know nothings will call them. Such traitors, every true American likes to see.

WAKING UP THE WRONG PAssENGER-The Cayenne's of Attala county recently nominat- ed M. L. Tanner, a democrat, as their candidate tor Representative. Upon being informed of the HONOR done him, he notified the council that on certain day, he would make speech and let them know whether he would accept o, not. When the day arrived, he mounted the rostrum, and commenced as follows:
 Gentlemen, you have seen proper to nomin- ate me as a candidate to serve you in the low CT branch of the next State Legislature. There the k n's loudly applauded him and can assure you that 1 am extremely gratiGsl [tre- mcndous applause by the k. n's1 at being able to inform you thunders of appause by the k. nSJ that cannot and will not accept the posi- uoh rom such source here a k. n. asked MT. Tanner if he was not with the American party Tn sentiment? He answered-I am a democrat of the school of Jefferson and Jack. son, and go for measures, not men," and will vote the democratic ticket if 1 live to get to the polls. Here the tide tuned, and the demo- crats made the "welkin ring'' with cheers
 hurrah for Tanner was in every mouth
 We then see that the know nothings. as well as the democrats. can sometimes "wake up the wron. passenger as in the above case in Mis- sippi.'
