u Some fanatic has sent US copy of the
"Christian Advocate and Journal" the organ
Of the Methodist church, published in New
York; containing a long editorial defence cf
Know-NothIngism. We have only to say that
if the leaders of a church of Christ think they
can propagate the free aud enlightened gospel
which our Saviour taught, by teaching hatred,
i'll will and prescription towards class Of
Christians who can at leaS! claim equal SINGER
ity with themselves, perhaps they are doing
Gods service. II, by encouraging an interfe-
renee with the rights Of conscience, and doing
all III their power 10 crush out every honorable
incentive to patriotism among those who seek
the shores Of this country as an asylum against
oppression, they can WIN the respect Of mankind,
'.et them roll on" Or, if the taking Of an
oath the requirements OF which compelits VIC
tim to lie and deceive, is in consonance with
the duty of 4 Christian, our New York con-
temporary has proclaimed it none to soon.--
There are. howevef, many good and true Meth
odiss who cannot sanction this course, as war
rauted either by the example on TEACHINGS Of
the Great Head of the Church. Such, at least,
free from all responsibility, and if they are
called upon to mourn the decline OF religion
they regard dear as their lip's blood, they can
have the proud consolation Of knowing they
had neither part nor lol IN it. Those that SOW
the wind may Vet be called upon to reap the
whrlwind.- fHeHfotUR Democrat

Gentlemen IL have the honor to acknoul-
edge the receipt of your communication ofthe
7tb inst. in which YOU invite me to be present
ON the 9th inst, when ''the Democratic party
of this town fredericksburg propose to crle-
brair the recent glorious victory Of our party in
this State.''
The event you propose 10 celebrate is no or
dinarv triumph OF one great political party over
another. 1t is the triumph u! great party OF
sound principles over secret order, whose
cbief apostles and muster spirits, fear, are Alb
olllonis:s. and whose principles, as far as
known, are,, my opinion, in conflict with the
spirit Of the Constitution, and unlrIrndly TO the
Union. Many estmable and honorable men, ]
understand, have joined the order. Reason and
calm reflection, it is hoped, will gradually per-
suade their withdrawal.
| hpa'ly congratulate you on the brilliant
victory achieved IN your State. But who could
have anticipated any other result IN Virginia,
where the nag of true political principles has
never yet tralled IN the dust.
1t wiiI not be in NY power, gentlemen, 10
Join You on this interesting occasion.
| am, very respectfully,
Your obrdient servant,

The EARTuQuAKE at BRoUsA, TURKEY.-
The Rev. C. n. RICHTER, at Constantnoplr,
writes to the New York Observer:
'sFrom Brousa We have the most frightful
details of the recent earthquake. Shocks con-
tinued all night, and the inhabitants fled from
their houses to take refuge in tents The great
ct part of the buildings that withstood the first
earthquake were DESTROYED bv this. Fire broke
ont in four districts, and four hundred and fif1v
victims periShed The shocks are still repeated
every hour, with more or less violence. The
whole city numbering 100, ,000) is deserted
The fountains of drinking water have been cut
off, and heated water is flowing in the streets.
Mount Olympus, near BY, gives forth a Kissing
noise, and al intervals fearful explosion like the
sound of many thunders. The ancient tombs Of
the SultanS, on the mountain side, have been
rent assundpr and precipltated below. The
house of Abdel Kadrr, French prisoner of war.
has been destroyed, and he, in great detection,
is rncamped under tent upon the plain. All
the European population and many of the Pro-
testant Armenians have fled TO Constantinople.
The poor who have no means OF escape are in
great distress. The Sultan has generously Civ
en- 500, 900 piastrrs, or $4,000. for their -elief
and despatched several steamers to convey them
TO the Capital. MuSselmen, Christians, and
Jews are alike taken on board the imperial
steamers
.'Thns this most beautiful aud fouFishing city
of the Turkish Empire is now a scene OF utter
desolation and distress"

short time since we published the fact that
large body of ruffians of Clay and Vigo coun-
lies had cut away the bank OF the Birch Greek
reservoir, and that they threatened dire ven
geance on those who should attempt to repair
the breach. The Governor issued proclama-
ton, which we published, Offering rewards for
the perpetrators ot the outrage. The scoundrels
sent formal notice 10 the resident trustee al
Terre Haute that, ii an attempt was made to re-
pair the canal, it would br at the risk of the
lives OF the men sent, and that the canal would
be cut away Tor long distance in the neigh
borhood of the reservoir. Notwithstanding those
threats, State boat sent TO the reservoir
last Tuesday, with twenty armed laborers, under
charge OF Mr.. Higgins. They worked all Tues
day without interruption.
Wednesday night the canal bank was cut
away on Summit Level. eighteen miles below
Terre Haute: and boats on the level coming
down, at once made their way back to Terre
Haute with much difficulty. The aqueducts
over Birch creek, near the reservoir, as was
that part of the canal cut away, was burnt down
the same night, guard of the poor deluded
scoundrelS standing by TO prevent interruption
during the fire. It was also understood they
intended TO cut away the old reservoir, on the
opposite side of the canal TO the other, and
perform other acts Of viliany. As an exhibi-
ton of their contempt for the Governor and his
proclamation, they stuck up notice offering
high reward for the Governors head.
On Tuesday night the boat was surrounded
by men with blackened faces, who, during the
night, kept continual firing of guns about the
boat These ruffians held meeting about
mile from the boat during Tuesday night, and
drew up statement of their complaints, and
resolutions OF threatening nature. In the
morning copy of these was found stuck upon
the boat: with warning that the laborers would
be allowed seven hours 10 take away the earth
they bad replaced in the reservoir bank, and
one hour after that to leave, and that The canal
would be cut away and the Brchcreek Aque-
duct burnt the following night. The loborers;
who had been during the whole night hxppc-
ting an attack, took fllf seven hours for at once
making tracks from the neighborhood, instead OF
undoing their work of the day previous.
1t was reported al Terr4 Haute, Friday morn
at the junction. They left written notices at
the doors of persons in their neighborhood, who
regarded their acts with diSapproyal, that ifthey
gave any information as to The perpetrators OF
these cowardly acts, or had any thing TO say on
the subject, they would be at once taken ont
and lynched. II was reported at Terre Hautr,
that the owner of mill in this neghborhood
had, for some of bis language of disapproval,
been severely ynched by Scourging, and was
told that if he inttrfpred any further his mill
would be burnt to the ground. A number of
coal boats We're left high and dry.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN VIRGINIA,

An immense outpouring OF the sturdy and IT,
domtabIe Democracy of Virginia, took place at
fredericksburg, on the 9th INST, 10 celebrate
the recent triumph Of Democratic principles in
that old Commonwealth. We wish ve could
transfer to our columns the entire report of the
glorious Democratic celebration on that occa-
sion. which fills the Recorder, Of Monday We
are compelled 10 restrict ourselves 10 a few Of
the interesting items. An immense procession
marched 10 Mr. C. S Scott'S brautiful Island,
where some 500 persons sat down to a bountiiul
dinner, at which presided Eustace Conway,
President. assisted by large number Of Vice
Presidents. Toasts were drank, speeches made,
and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. We
have room only orthe following letters read at
the dinner
WASHINGTON. June Ii, 1855.
Gentlemen i shalt BE- constrained by official
engagements, to deny myself the pleasure Of
participating in the proposed celebration of
fredericksburg, on the 9Th inst, but ] beg 10
present my hearty congratulations upon the
late signal triumph Of sound principles and
manly sentiment Of the "Old Dominion"
Prr-rminently prominent as the sons Of Vir-
gina have beer, from the commencement Of the
Revolution, for their bold advocacy OF the cause
Of iFredom-tor their consistent and patriotic
devotion 10 the only principles upon which a
government, constituted like ours, can be SuS-
tanned, ii NAV well br doubted whether they
have ever achieved for themselves more disin-
gnshed honor than in the late election, or have
eyer rendered higher service to this Union.
itpalItica hereSieS and religious intolerance
could have shaken and carried the strong hold
ot that party, upon the faithfulnrss, patriotism,
intelligence and courage of which the country
has been obliged mainly to rely in every period
Of serious danger, whether arising from foreign
arms or domestic dis>ensions, it would have
been the occasion, if not of discouragempnt, vet
OF profound regret and sorrow, 10 those who re-
we're the constitution under which, as a nation,
We have attained such amazing advancement
and have realized socially results SO unexampled
in the history of the human race.
The proud elevation on which the Common
wealth Of Virginia now stands is freely recog-
hlzed and deservedly honored from one extrem-
'iy Of the Union TO the other.
