Mr.. Burwell, at present prominent mem
ber OF the House of Delegates, from Bedford
county, and formerly editor of the Organ, the
great central Know-nothing journal at Wash
lngton, does not seem TO be at all satisfied with
-nothingism under the phase it has lately
assumed. He said in the course Of debate
In the House of Delegates a few days ago,
that as member Of the American party, he
had relied on the twelfth section Of the Phila-
delphia platform of June, 1855, but that
pledge had been cancelled by the American.
council in February, 1856. He would take no
party position until the nominees of the Ameri-
can and Democratic parties had stated their
positions. He would then take his stand where
his efforts might be most useful"
Mr.. Burwell is true Southern man, and
finding nothing in the Know nothing platform
which sufficiently guarantees the rights of the
South, he very wisely determines to wait for
further Developments before he pledges him.
self to-act with his old party friends. There
are doubtless many Wings and Know-nothings
IN the South, who, however much they admire
Mr.. Fillmore, cannot stand upon the extraor-
binary platform adopted in Philadelphia last
month. The twelfth section upon which the
Southern Know-nothings so much relied, has
been ignored, and we really do not see what
plank they have to stand upon. We think
they had better follow the example set them by
Mr.. Burwell; and if the Cincinnati Conven.
ton agrees upon a platform which fully guar
antics the rights of the South, as it doubtless
will, then we should be glad to see them all
fall into the Democratic ranks, and do good
service against our common enemies, the fam
alics of the North-Richmond Va.) Register.

An Indian Legend.

Out Of a pine in the Iroquois settlement,
and aboutfive feet from the ground, is growing
up with the tree a rams head, with the horns
still attached to it; and so fixed and imbedded
is il in the tree, that it must have grown up
with it. Almost the whole Of one Of the horns
and more than half of the head is buried in
the tree but most of the other horn and part
Of the head protrudes out at least a foot. We
examined both, and found the tree scarcely
two feet in diamer. Here we put up at an
early hour, and called the place Rams Horn
Encampment. Our Flathead Indians related
to us a rather strange story about this rams
head. Indian legend relates that one of the
first Flathead Indians who passed this way,
attacked a mountain ram as large and stout as
a common horse; that, on being wounded, the
fierce animal turned round upon his pursuer,
who, taking shelter behind the tree, the ram
came against it with all his force, so that he
drove his horn through it; but before he could
get it extricated again the Indian killed him,
and took off the body, leaving the head as
memento of the adventure. All Indians reve-
renee the celebrated tree, which they say, by
the circumstance related, conferred on them
the power Of mastering and killing all ami
mails; hundreds, therefore, in passing this way,
sacrifice something to the rams head and
one of the Iroquois, not to incur the displeasure
of the good of hunters, hung bit of tobacco
on the horn, to make his hunting propitious--;

She arrived in the city one day last week, to

mers, stopped day or two, and in the mean
time fell in with sope extravagant young ira
vellers; popped champagne with them, took
snacks at the Bower and few around in
quite handsome style. Yesterday afternoon
she was on the point Of leaving in the Southern
cars, when her father, who having fortunately
guessed her course, was in pursuit of her, and
had just arrived by the Richmond train, found
her seated in the smoking car Of the Weldon
train putting away on prime Havana, with
her little tiny feet cooked up against the stove,
and withal quite at home. On the affectionate
parent beholding his gentlemanly daughter thus
metamorphosed, he was at q loss TO express
himself, but finally managed to exclaim, sis

From an English paper.


The Frauds OF the Late J. p. SadIeir, M. p.
The suicide of Mr.. John Sadleir M. p, still
occupies general attention. The extent of his
deinquencses is still unknown, and probably
will never be divulged since those whose for
tunes are most seriously compromised will
naturally make every endeavor to conceal
losses which would place their own solvency
in question. 1t is certain, however, that the
estimates of his frauds have not erred greatly
on the side of exaggeration, and that they prob
ably range from E500,00O to E8OO,000 He
was chairman of the London and County Bank,
Deputy Chairman of the East Kent Railway,
Chairman of the Royal Swedish Railway, prin-
cipal founder of the Tipperary Joint Stock
Bank, &c. The two former establishments
sustain no losses by him Of any moment but
of the other two one has been nearly and the
other quite ruined. The Royal Swedish Rail
way is placed in similar position to that oc-
cupied by the New York and Newhaven line
from its connection with Mr.. Schuyler. Its
capital is G460,000, and SadIeir has issued un-
authorized shares and obligations to the amount
of fl50,000 or G250,O00 The most serious
features Of fraud, however, are those committed
by means of his opportunities as agent for the
landed estates Of noblemen and others, and
also by direct forgeries of title deeds. The
trust property, made away with is supposed to
be extremely large.
At the adjourned inquest on the body Of this
unfortunate gentleman, several letters were read
which he had written just previous to his sui
eide. The Immediate cause of his apprehen-
sons appear to have been the threatened
failure of the Tipperary Bank, of which he was
the founder. In one of these letters, written to
Mr.. Keating, M. p, he says:
Dear Roberto what infamy have come;
step by step, heaping crime upon crime and
now | find myself the author of numberless
crimes Of diabolical character and the cause
of ruin and misery and disgrace to thousands
AYE, tens Of thousands! Oh, how l feel for
all those upon whom all this ruin must fall /
could bear all punishments, but / could never
bear to witness the suferings of those on whom
| have brought such ruin, 1t must be better

to my crimes. They sprang from my own
cursed brain alone. / have. swinded and de-
ceived without the knowledge of any one.

no knowledge of the fabrication of deeds and
forgeres by me, and by which / have sought
to go on in the honied hope of retrieving. Oh,
that had never quilted Ireland. Oh, that /
had resisted the first attempts to launch me
into speculation. If had had less talents Of
a worthless kind, and more frmness, might

truthful, and would have lived to see my dear
father and mother in their old age. weep,
