TRACKING A MURDERER.-We learn, yer.
bally, that n man named William Burge, q
deserter from the United States army, who
formerly lived in this city, WINS arrested on
Tuesday last, in Troup county, by Missouri
sheriff who followed him from that State.-
Burge is charged with having, with the mid
of another man, still at large, committed a
murder short time since in Missouri. II is
said that they waylaid and killed n man for
his money, and buried him in the snow but
the body being found and suspicion attach
ing to these two men, the sheriff followed
Burge from Missouri to this State. His pur-
suit and capture of the prisoner shows much
shrewdness md perseverance. Burge tray
elled by land, sometimes by rail road, some.
times by stage and other vehicles, and some.
times on foot-registering different name at
most of the hotels where he stopped. He
carried about his person small box, and
wore n cap taken from the murdered man;
and by these chiefly the sheriff was enabled
to identify him and keep his track. Gut
ting Burg's varied register names from the
books, he was enabled to compare the hand
writing at places along his route, and thus to
assure himself that he was on the right track.
Following up the fugalive in this manner, he
reached LaGrange only one day behind him,
arrested hin, as above stated, near that place,
and immediately started back for Missouri
with his prisoner in charge Columbus Sun

KNOW.NOTHING NATIONAL COUNCIL
The "National Council Of the American
Order" which assembled at Philadelphia on
Monday 18th, brought its session to a close
on Thursday night, to meet In New York in
June next.
The Philadelphia American states that the
entire morning session Of Thursday wa,
characterized by scenes Of protracted excite
nient. Mr.. Bennett, OF New York, common
ced II by presenting written accusation
charging Thomas II. Ford, of Ohio, with
being untrue to the American party. Ii was
ruled out of order after great uproar, and
the Council proceeded with the considera.
ton Of Mr.. Brewster's resolutions to repeal
the twelfth or slavery section Of the platform
The resolution referred to is in the follow
ing words:
"Whereas the twelfth section ftheplatform
adopted by the American Council in June
| 1855, was neither proposed by the South
nor sanctioned by the North, therefore said
section is hereby stricken out. That, rs re-
CARDS the subject Of slavery, we abide by the
principles and provisions of the Constitution
of the United States, yielding no more and
claiming no less"
This proposition had been adopted on
Wednesday, rs an amendment to another
proposition, by vote Of lO4 to IS, and the
Council adjourned without taking n final vote
upon tho amended proposition.
On Thursday morning, when the subject
again came up, Mr.. French s. Evans, of Wash.
ington, offered as m SOLVE branch Of peace
an entirely new platform, framed and recon.
mended by the Council of the District OF
Columbia rs n substitute for the platform OF
principles adopted by the National Council in
June last.
This proposition having been received
with favor by majority Of the Council, il
recon sidered the vote by which Mr.. Brew.
ster's proposition (as above pulished) had
been adopted, and in the afternoon, after n
long and violent discussion, the whole of the
platform adopted in June was rescinded, and
the "Washington Platform" offered by Mr..
Evans was substituted for il.
The following is n synopsis of the Plat
form rs tclegraphed to the Nashville Patriot,
by Gen. Zollicoffer. We will publish the
platform, entire next week.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22d, 1856.
w. HY. SMiTH:-A National Platform was
adopted yesterday evening, recognizing the
right of the people of the territories to frame
their constitutions and laws, and to regulate
their social domestic affairs in their own mode,
subject only to the provisions of the Federal
Constitution; the right Of admission into the
Union of States thus formed; the duty OF
obedience to the laws; maintenance of the
Union and the Constitution, and eschewing
sectional, and uniting on National questions
&c. 49,
1t dispenses with onths, md admits into
the American party all American citizens, ex
cept those recognizing Foreign allie giance
or who refuses TO recognize the Federal nnd
State Constitutions, who openly approve the
principles and objections of the American
party. This docs away with all secresy.
Yours, truly,

THE CONVENTION OF THE 9qn.

We embody below the Geographic dispatch
es inrrelation to the proceedings Of the
American Convention, which assembled al
Philadelphia on the 22d inst:
PnLApSLrnfA, Feb. 22.--Afternoon session
OF the American National Convention:
The Committee reported the permanent Of.
hcers: Ephraim Marsh, of N. j., President,
and twenty-four Vice Presidents--one from
each State.
The Committee on Credentials were not
prepared to report.
On re assembling this evening, the perma.
mont officers elected took their seats, and the
committee on credentials submitted MAORI
ty and minority report. The former re.
porting in favor Of the Edie delegates, from
Pa; the latter was signed by Southern mem
bers, refusing to recognize delegates from any
council repudiating the platform Of 1855, or
the 18th section Of that platform.
An animated discussion ensued upon the
admission of the Edie delegates.
Feb. 23.-The Convention continued in
session till o'clock this morning. After a
stormy debate q vote was taken on the ma.
lority report, which was adopted by the fol.
lowing vote, yeas SO, nays As.
Mr.. Pickett, of Tenn, denounced the course
pursued by the North, and left the Conven.
tion, declining to take any further part in its
actions.
A motion was made that the delegates from
Louisiana be admitted by reclamation, which
was agreed to by but few dissenting voices.
Mr.. Erastus Brooks offered a resolution, that
the vote upon that portion of the report of
the committee on credentials, referring to
contested cases in Pennsylvania be reconsid.
cred.
After some debate motion to Law the reso.
luton on the table prevailed by large ma
jority. The Convention then adjourned to
meet at ten o'clock this morning.
Feb. 23, r. M.-The Convention to day has
been at fever heat. The Southerners met
this afternoon to determine on their course.
The proposition to postpone the nomination
to the Convention to be held here on the Sd
Of July. was discussed by the Convention
nearly the whole day, and laid on the table
by a vote of 1873 to 73. The Convention ad
journed until Monday.
Feb. 25.-The resolution declaring that
the Convention had no right to prescribe a
platform opposing the nomination of any
candidate not in favor of the Missouri Com
promise was lost by large majority. The
Convention then was about to proceed to
nominate, and Mr.. Filimore's prospects were
apparently in the ascendant, when the dele
gates from Connecticut, Massachusetts,, Rhode

NOMINATION OF FILLMORE AND DosELsos
I'VE find the following telegraphic despatch
Ia the Atlanta Inteligencer Of the 9th:
Philadelphia, Feb. 25--Tbe Convention
last night nominated Mr.. Fillmore for Prcsi
dent, and A. J. Donelson, of Tennessee, for
Vice President
Another despatch, which will be found on
the next column, says that portion of the
Northern delegates seeded. A railroad pas
senger brings intelligence that the seceders
returned, and took part in the nomination,
which was received with much enthusiasm.
Tho dispatches and reports from the Con.
vention are meagre and contradictory, and,
therefore, may not be altogether reliable
We trust that in regard to the nomination of
Mr.. FILLMORE is true. We shall proba-
bly, be able to publish the proceedings of the
Convention entire, in our next issue. Until
then We can afford to wait for comment.

the Nashville Union and American:
We are receiving from our correspondents

ton at its counter, and we are assured by its
officers that the Bank is amply able and wiil
