Know Nothing Cheat.

A writer in to-days paper, who is q sa-
gacious politician, calls the attention of the
people to the remarkable fact, that in the
great States of New York and Pennsylva-
MA, the subject of Lard Distribution does
not occupy the attention. ef the people or of
the politicians. In the former, Black Re-
publcanism is the absorbing topic, growing
out Of the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court in the bred Scott case, and not less
excited feeling is manifested in the latter on
the same subject. In Connecticut and other
States VIC hear nothing said about Distrbu-
ton. How is this Is there not reason to
suspect that it is a deep laid scheme Of tic
Know Nothings to retrieve their fallen for
turcs in Virginia. and iuaugurato their de-
festable principles, by seizing upon the pop
ular but erroneous idea that taxes might be
reduced bg distributing the public lands a.
mong the States But they have not shown
the people that they will have to pay back
to the General Government increased taxes
in the shape Of a high tariff upon the iron,
salt, molasses, sugar, cotton, &c, to make
up the deficiency that would be caused by
distributing the lands. They studiously a.
void tiis, and deal only in assertion and as
sumption, expecting to humbuc the people in
to the support Of a measure which could only
have the effect Of making them take money
out Of one pocket 10 put in the other, and
pay commission for the privilege of doing
So This IS tie advantage the South would
receive from distribution.

Land Distribution and Know yotIingism.

While the Know Nothing party in Yir-
ginia are seeking to retrieve their fallen for
tunes, by making the Land Distribution
question an issue in the Spring elections, it
may be well to see what their party are
about elsewhere.
In New YoRK, it would seem from the
recent proceedings of the Legislature, they
are all absorbed in Black Republieanism. -
The action Of The Supreme Court in the
Bred Scott case, in which it was decided
that negroes are not citizens, has led the
enemies Of the South and its institutions to
break forth in renewed violence and the
General Assembly Of the State has passed
concurrent resolutions i'll favor Of au amend
meut 10 their Constitution, SO as to abolish
the property qualification in regard to col
ored poters, and admit ecery WOOLLY-
HEAD in the State to the prisi1ege Of rot
i'aq. In the lower house, the vote on the
amendment stood scrcnty.fpe for, and tleen-
/ 'y-seven against it--the nays being ALL De-
asoeFafs.
In PENNSYLVANIA, at the State Conyen-
ton lately held at Harrisburg, which nomi-
mated the famous DAVID WILMoT for Gov
ernor, and WILLIAM WILLARD for Canal
Commissioner, resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the decision of the Supreme Court
=, 4ta Dro1 Coott ooco 90 .tonotbo, c+o,, ~,
the conspiracy against free institutions"
and also resolutions endorsing the leading
principles of Know Nothingism. The re-
porter says, ''the resolutions were read
very distinctly, and were greeted with fire.
quent applause, the resolutions embodying
Know Nothing sentiments especially So"
The subject Of Land Distribution appears
net to have been mentioned 1t seems, in
deed, only to be patent to Virginia politics.
Under such circumstances are we not justi-
fed in looking upon it with distrust? Is it
not mere ruse of the Know Nothings to
carry their obnoxious principles into a local
ascendancy upon the back of an issue which
they believe to be popular: Another ques-
ton, however, presses upon us at this crisis.
Can we allow ourselves thus to be dteided,
and virtually aid powerful sectional party
based upon the single principle of avowed
hostility to the South and its Institutions
and more especially as We thus see the
Know Nothings in two of largest States OF
the Union now acting in open alliance with
them7 No sensible voter, certainly, will
permit himself to be deluded by so shallow
a cheat. However desirable the object, it
is not to be weighed against the peace and
security Of his own freside.

dates for this county we committed an error
n regard to the service Of Capt. JONI A.
HAnasS in the Mexican war, and it is but
justice to that gentleman that the error
should be corrected. Capt Hartman was in
Texas when the war was declared and vol
untoered in the company of Capt. Robert
II. Gillespie, at San Antonio, which con-
stituted q portion of the famens Regiment
Of Texas Rangers commanded BY Jack
Hays. In advance of his company, Capt.
Harman, together with Ghevalie, Hays,
Acklin, Caperton, and others, proceeded to
Join Gen Taylor, which they did just before
the taking of Matamoras The Rangers
men fully organized at Matamoras and con-
stituted the advance of Taylor's army. At
Pontagu.ha the companies Of Gillespie and
Mccullough were III action in warmly
contested skirmish with the Laneers of
Tarajon, in which Capt. II. participated -
At Monterey the company of Gillespie was
~ aSetAc eciNice uuAptS ti4c Mhoic IGfiou Vi
fighting, which was about three days--they
were attached to the Division of General
Worth and constituted his advance. When
Worth stormed the height above the BisI-
cps palace, Gillespie with Lis men dis
mounted9 led the advance, and Gillespie
himself, Wallace, Brush, ouray and Har-
man, were the first to mount the height mp
on which the first fort was situated The
gallant Gillespie and Brush were shot down
almost at the same instaut-0arey stepped
70 lock after his fallen eomrasles-aad Wal
lace and Hartman were the first in the fort.
Throughout the engagement Capt Hartman,
by the side Of the noble Wallace, upon
whom the commend Of the company had de-
yolyed, was in the thickest Of the fight, and
when the parley was sounded they were
lighting on the tops Of the houses within
two squares of the Bishops Palace.

MAKERS GREAT BATTLE AnotIef Ter
sion The New York Sun has letter dat
ed Rivas, March l6, signed by Capt A. T.
5. Anderson, giving a different version of
the Walker victory" from that already
made pubic. After noticing Walkers at
tack Oh the enemy at St. George and the
successful manner in which he is said To have
driven them from that place, he proceeds:
Nov came the tug of war. Our little
army Of not exceeding three hundred and
fifty men, all told, were surrounded by the
enemy, numbering $500 or 5000 We
were completely hemmed in, but had gained
onr point in drawing them out of the place.
All communication with Rivas was cut off
and we were without provisions, having ia
ken none with us, the distance from one
place 10 the other being only three miles
The enemy coming to large ranch threw
up entertainments and barbados along the
road Walker was compelled to pass, and
where he could not bring his artillery to
play. Walker then, at the head of the in
iantry battalion, made desperate charge
upon the barricades, and after immense
slaughter, cut his way past them. At least
five hundred shots were fired at the General,
but all to 10 effect. He s not TO be killed
by the bullets Of the enemy. We kept up
the fighting for the remainder of the day.
and then returned to Rivas for something to
eat and for rest, which the men greatly need
cd We left no less than five hundred of
the enemy in the 6eld--killed and wounded.
The enemy are still in the ranch, which is
only about 900 yards from us. We can
see Lem with the naked eye from our plaza.
ihey are supposed to be only some 500 or
AGO strong
;, The writer concludes by expressing the
belief that " alker would soon dispense them.
The Sun, however, is of different opinion.
1t looks upon Walkers position as very crit
eal.--DaA San.
