of distribution, Mr. Sanders has deliberately
taken position Nth the Knoao Nothing fac.
ton. He has thus cut himself off from his
party, and has fallen '.like Lucifer, to rise
no more
Mr. Sanders informs the people of John
ston that he desires to retire from public
life. The people of that county. we doubt
not, will very readily acquiesce in his wish.
The fact that he will retire is just certain
as that his intention to do so has been an
nounced. The Democracy of Johnston
will regret his course on distribution, but
they will stand by their principles without
regard to men. They have been engaged
for many long years in the noble work of
making their county Democratic; and nav
ing completed that work, they will not come
down from the high platform of principle
and sacrifice the fruits of all their anxieties
and labors, merely to crafty the whim, or
the caprice. or the vanity Of one who for
merly served them. or to endorse the results
of his misguided or mistaken Judgment
Democrats like Barnes, and Hobbs. the
Tominsons, the WatsOns, the Whitleys,
and hosts of others who might be named,
follow not men. but principles. With Levi
Woodbury., they "go where Democratic
principles lead, and when they cease to lead
they cease to follow"
We have devoted more attention to this
letter of Mr. Sanders than it really deserves,
but we have done SO in anticipation of the
use which will be made of it against the
Democracy by the Know Nothing presses
and leaders. They will hail it as capital
elcctioneering document for SAM" and
Mr. Sanders will for the future receive a
large share of their attention and praise.

GETTING To HEAVEN by WAY OF New
ORLEANs.-The Philadelphia correspond
emit of the New York Dispatch gives the
following:
A few days since, young man who had
long been attached TO a church, and who
to bid his pastor farewell. And so you
are going to that degenerate place, New
Orleans, are you - said he pastor. "Yes,
sir but don't expect TO be influenced by
any extraneous pressure of any kind" re-
spOnded the young man. with considerable
earnestness. well | am glad to see you
SO confident. / hope the Lord will guide
you. But do you know the temptations
which exist there 7" Not particularly,
sir" well, do. You'll find wantoa
women in the guise of Paris. tempting the
very elect; and rare wines and ardent
drinks and you'll find fine company. and
night brawling, and gambling, and dissira-
ton. and running after the lusts of old man
Adam" ''Still, sir, l hope to combat these
successfully" 1 hope you will, my dear
Christian brother" was the reply. Il hope
you will. And let me give you this much
for your consolation in case you should fall
from grace. The temPter is worse than
the sin, and the greater the temptation. the
more merit there is in resisting it. The
man who goes To Heaven BY 'cdy Of Ne,r
Orleans, is sure TO have twice as high a
place in eternal glory as he who reaches
Paradise through the quiet portals of Con-
necticut or Pennsylvania.

The s.. Leui. Rail Road celebration.


The excursionists to the st. Louis celebra-
ton have returned, eloquent in their descrip-
tons Of the pleasures of the trip-the bril-
iancy Of the scenes in tie grand parade, and
of the kind, unbounded hospitality of the cit
liens. The visitors were all cared for as pri-
vate guests from their arrival till their de-
parture. On reaching Illinoistown, four
magnificent steamers received them on board,
and gave them bountiful breakfast, while
taking them on a short morning excursion up
and down the river for some distance above
and below the city. A procession was form
ed of military and citizens of several miles in
length, and marched to the fair grounds
spacious of any thing of the kind in the I'm
ION, capable of accommodating ten thousand
persons-which received the vast throng with
On its walls. The Hon. Edward Bates ad
dressed the multitude in an Grafton of an
hours length, stirring the hearts Of all who
heard him, with new impulses of patriotism.
At the close, the concourse repaired to boun-
rtiful tables, covered with ample provisions for
all. Each State was toasted in turn, TO which
the representatives of each responded, which
brought ont series of eloquent and spark
ingly addresses, and made a happy finale to
the day. The visitors were entertained at the
expense of the city while they remained, and
all left with the most cordial good will for the
city, which, prosperous and great as she is
merits all her good fortune, for the enter
prise, liberality and public spirit of her citi.
zeus.

Gen. Walker.

The steamer Woodford, with Gen. Walker
and staff on board, passed this point yester-
day morning about nine o'clock. A large
his arrival. Gen. Walker, in compliance
with general request, addressed the crowd
from the balcony of the Pavilion Hotel. He
was introduced by Col. Drew. His remarks
were in substance the same as those made in
Memphis and New Orleans. He said that the
war in Central America was only suspended
and would be resumed and carried on sue
cessfully. He alluded to the kind manner in
which he had been greeted on his trip up the
river, and felt assured that the sy mpathies
of the American people were with him and
his cause. He appealed to Americans for as
sistance in regenerating and Americanizing
Nicaragua. His remarks were listened to
with profound attention.
In person, Gen. Walker is about Ave feet
feet four inches high, and has none of the
-fndicatives of a hero; he is slight in figure
with no strong marks of intellect, and has
neitheI an active physical or mental temper
ament. On looking at him it was almost
impossible to believe that he was the hero of
SO many desperate engaseme in Near
aqua. At the close of his speech an attempt
TO raise three cqeers for the hero was very
feebly responded to. The enthusiasm in ia
vor of the cause has never been as great upon
this side of the river as in Kentucky. We
have had no sons or brothers in the war to
warmly enlist our feelings.
On Saturday evening before Walkers de-
parture from New Orleans, the citizens held
Nicaragus meeting, which brought together
the largest crowd that has been assembled in
New Orleans in many years. Walkers
speech-in which he defended his measures
in Nicaragua, and proclaimed his unyieldine
resolution to resume the contest and establish
American supremacy on the Isthmus-wa:
received with enthusiastic responses. 1t il
evident the cause has the sympathies of the
multitude.

NEW YORK, June 5.
A correspondence between three American
firms at Canton, Commodore Armstrong,
and Minister Parker, is published in the
Post. The former asked the Commodore to
protect a local steamer, bearing the American
flag, and abiding to the recent capture of
two English steamers by the Chinese.
The Commodore replied that the force at
his disposal would not permit him. The
firms forwarded the correspondence to Par
ker, with protest against the Commodore's
action, and with the request that the matter
be communicated to the Government at
Washington.
Parker acceded.
