Kissing INCONSISTENT WITH ErER-
NAL vIGILANcE--One night about the
beginning Of this week, in a search
after MCGOWAN made by order of the
Vigilance Committee, one Of the
sealchcrs got into the room of a young
lady. Like Don Alfonso, he looked
under the bed, but found not what he
sought, and at last having satisfied
himself that he was alone with the
lady, he asked q kiss. She refused
and made complaint, which reached
the ears Of other members Of the Vi
glance committee. The matter was
inquired into. The offender admitted
that he wanted Il kiss, but, said that
he had kissed her before. The ex-
cuse was not considered a Justification,
and he was expelled from tue Com
mittee. Cardinal de Retz formed a
maxim on every new experience that
he gained, and perhaps it would not
be improper for us to frame maxim on
the experience of the Expellant Vlgi-
liant, as follows: man cannot KISS and
attend 10 his dutarS as m~mber of the
Vigilance Committee at the same time.

The Little Winter Grave.

Our baby lies under the snow. sweet wife,
Our baby lies under the snow,
Out in the dark with the night,
While the winds 50 loudly blow.
Asa dead saint thou art pale, sweet wife,
And the cross is on thy breast,
Oh, the snow ~ more can chill
That little love in its nest.
Shall we shut the baby out sweet wife;
While the chilling winds do blow?
Oh, the grave is now its bed.
And its coverlet is snow
Oh our merry bird is shared. sweet wife,
That rain Of music gave,
And the snow falls On our hearts,
And our hearts are each . grave
Oh. it was the lamp of our life sweet wife,
Blown out in n night of gloom;
leaf from our flower of love,
Nipped in its fresh spring bloom.
But the lamp will shine above sweet wife,
And the leaf again shall grew,
Where there are no bitter winds,
And no dreary, dreary snow.

fifteen inches wide, in which wires are
placed side by side, but so as not touch

poured on, which surrounds the wires.

MEssRs EDIToRs: The first week in June was an
interesting one in the annals of Wilson. large
concourse of people were in attendance on the ex.
alninaons and commandments of the schools in the
pace. The examination of the pupils of Wilson
Male Academy took place on Monday and Tuesday.
about fifty of whom united in the exercises. They
acquitted themselves well rejecting much credit on
the sefsacrifcing and energetic Principal, Col j. +.
Keenan,, and his worthy associate, Mr.. Taylor.
But the most interesting feature of the week was
the examination and concert of the Wilson Female
Institute During the past session there were fifty
pupils in attendance and the prospect is the num-
Der will be increased the ensuing session. 1t has
been under the very judicious control of Miss Jane
Miller and Miss Ramsay. The young ladies passed
through the trying ordeal m lch to the edicaton of
the audience, and did honor to the fidelity and
Of their Instructresses.
Thursday night concert sgven by Miss RAM
says pupils. The building was handsomely dccora-
ted with evergreens and flowers, and was crowded
to its utmost capacity by pleased and gratifed
semblage. Never before did Wilson behold such an
array of congregated beauty. The programme was
we'll arranged, and every thing passed off with eclat,
closing with very chaste and eloquent address by
W. Ii. Bum, Esq. The exercises closed on Friday
night, with festival given to the people generally.
The tables groaned under the rich viands and after
the repast was over, the company repaired to the
fairy-like hall, and promenaded to the strains of
heart-thrilling music. 1t was an occasion full of
pleasure to those who attended, and will long be re-
mclnbered A VISITOR.

KNOW NOTHINGISM UNVEILED Tread
AND CIRCULATE

We re publish to-day, at the request of friends,
the Constitution Of the National Council of the Know
Nothings, and also Of North Carolina, with the de-
grees oaths mysteries passwords signs, &c. of the
Order. This document first brought to light in
July, 1855, through the Richmond Enquirer, and
Afterwards through the Standard and other papers
in this State. 1t may be relied upon as genuine
document No Know Nothing, who has any char
acter for truth, will dare deny it.
We again call the attention of the people of all
parties to this document and to the nature of the
organization which has been established in the midst
of free people. This great Jacobin Club, in the
first place. binds its members in secret, by horrid
oahs and it then proceeds to take charge of all the
Offices in the country from that of Constable up to
President, and assumes to dispose of them, on
the basis Of prescription and intolerance, to the
exclusion of all persons Of all other parties or organ
izations. Remember that Mr.. Fillmore and Mr..
Gilnaer are members Of this Club, thus devoted to
this work of prescription and intolerance and thus
bound and that they are SWORN sever to keep sa-
cred and nviolate the pledges and obligations they
have thus assumed. Remember, too, that Mr.. Fill
more and Mr. Gilmer have agreed that the National
Council shall "decide for them, as for all Know
Nothngs, GALL MATTERS APPERrAINING TO NATIONAL
POLITICS." and then say if they would not be, if
elected, the sworn servants of the Know Nothing
organization, instead of the servants of the people
generally! Read this document, and circulate it.
Let the people see for themselves its character and
the positions occupied by the Know Nothing candi-
dates
