KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE-GRAND
GATHERING IN MEXICO-FIRST MOVE
MENT IN VIRGINIA-MEXICO TO BE
REVOLUTI0NIZED.
1t is fact well known to all who read the public
Journals of the day that there is a party in the
Southern portion of this Union that has been Or
ganized for the purpose of colonizng Mexico This
party is known as the Knights tine Golden Circle
and have continued to increase so rapidly that from
|
formidable number of ffty thousand These men
were scattered through the country from the
mountains OF Virginia to the Gulf of Mexico and
Tor some time have been awaiting orders to concen-
trate at some point convenient the scene of their
future operations Gradually, these men are being
sent through the country, and are now collecting
on the confines of Texas. Already large numbers
OF them are concentrated in that State, and this
nucleus is being surrounded by men from all the
various States
The first movement of the K G. C's from Vir-
| ginia will take place tomorrow from the little
town of Hampton. One company, in command of a
competent ofncer and worthy Virginia gentle
man, will embark for Texas, and will then inau-
gurate the exodus of the K. &. C's. That the OBJ
lect OF this organization is to change the political
and social principles of the country to which they
go, there is little doubt; for they avow this their
| purpose; but they do not go unlawfully armed at
least from here they profess to go as peaceful cti.
zens, and will reyoutonize that unhappy country,
not by hre and sword but by settling in sufficient
| numbers within Its borders, and changing and
making wholesome laws, and seeing that they are
! enforced. They are going to introduce Anglo.Sax-
| on energy and American prudence among people
who have heretofore been incapable of selEpovarn
ment, and who are actually INVITING them 70 CONE
ana teach them how to live and be happy.
Inc movement of these men toward the Bio
Grande Is pregnant with much Importance to the
South, and is the commencement Of a grand pro.
gramme that has been preparing for several years
ExcTTEMnNr IN CAROLINE CouNry. VA.-We learn
tnaI Bowling Green, tho county seat OF caroline,
has been thrown into violent excitement for the
past two days owing to the presence in that place
OF person who is suspected as an abotionist. On
Friday evening last stranger twhose name we
did not learn) arrived there and put up at the ho-
tel On Saturday evening his movements having
given cause for suspicion to his purpose in visit

upon him and requested him to leave, which he
| promised 10 do.
| On Sunday morning, however, it was ascertain.
that he was still there and not disposed to leave

! McKenney, DR.. Gasse, r. B. Tunstan Walter
| Hudgin, Esq, and other, whose name we did
not learn, held a consultation and determined again
to wait upon him, and require his immediate with.
stead of finding him tractabe, as on the previou:
day, he replied that it was free country, and he
would stay as long as he pleased.
They expostuated, and threatened to put him in
the hands of the officers of the law, and were about
leaving, when a door Just opposite to his room
| opened and displayed group of eight or ten men
all armed, and recognized by this committee Of
| gentlemen men from the North, who were EN-.
ployed as workmen in the village. On seeing the
| gentlemen there, the party in the cried out
to Cronle, who was one OF their party and evidently
the leader, "Go ahead, Capt. c., and we will fol
| low" or words tantamount. At this juncture, Mr.
H., than whom spunkier fellow don't live, and Dr.
| Mchenney, who had provided themselves with pis
tolls, took their stand and threatened to kill the
first that put their heads outside of the door
Capt G; was the only one who appeared, and or
seeing their determination, retreated back to hi!
room. The gentlemen having succeeded in keep
ing them back in this way, adjourned to the
porch, where they were followed and abused BY
the men who had taken sides with the stranger.
We learn that he is still at Bowling Green ant
that the citizens OF that county will meet to-day to
consider the matter, that III is great bitterness
of feeling entertained by the citizens against these
men, headed by c., and that they threaten if thu
stranger is there to-day, to hang him. We give
this we heard it, forbearing at present to make
| any comments.-Fred Ne,cs.
THE SPANIsH-MExICAN DrFFIcULrGUs- RELA-
TIoNs WITH SPAIN.-The Washington correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Pennsylcanian, who it il
believed speaks upon authority, says:
The speculations of the New Orleans papers ovel
| the possible embodiment of Spain and Mexico ar
event which, at the latest advices from Vera Cruz
seemed to be there confidently expected are o
not the slightest value, so far as they predict any
thing in regard to Cuba. One of the New Orleans
papers ventures to look for "the realization of oul
Cuban aspirations" IN the event of war between
Spain and Mexico, and bases its hopes of such a re
suit upon the suppostion that the Jaurez Govern
| ment would not rest content with defensive mea
sures, but would proceed against "the ever faithful
lsle. Such an expectation 1t is in the first place
impossible for the Juarez Government even to at
tempt to fulfil, since it has fleet sufficient even t
| cope with the Spanish armament which would b
sent into its own waters In the next place, even i
Juarez had the vessels, he has not either the mel
| or the means to engage in expedition agains
|
| neet on one side, and MiramOn on the other. The
idea of Mexican invasion of Cuba is, in fact, sim
ply preposterous Whatever may be the expecta
tions or hopes of anybody else, at all events tht
| Administration have expectation of anythin!
| growing out of Mexican affairs that will bear il
| any special manner on Cuba, indeed upon ou
relations with Spain in any particular. The fore
ordered to the Gulf is simply precautionary, but i
no doubt fully warranted by the general situation
of affairs.
AN OWNER AND DID Nor Know Ir.-A curiou
discovery has Just been made of valuable real estat
belonging to the city of New York, of which tn
authorities were totally ignorant. Some time las
year person appeared before Mr.. Hawes, tn
Comptroller, and stated that he knew of larg
amount of property really belonging to the ct1
but which had been in the undisturbed occupanc
of private parties for years-and he proposed for
certain consideration, viz, per centage on tn
value of the property recovered, to disclose the 10
cation OF the property and the names of the pseud
owners. MIR. Hawes declined to enter then into tn
arrangement, but opened negotiations with the par
ty giving the hint, and meanwhile communicate
the matter to the Commissioners of the Sinkin
Fund, who set the Comptroller to preparing map
and lists of all property owned by the city, and ma
king Investigations, in the course of which it wa
discovered that very large number of lots, in pos
session of the city for many years. have never bee
recorded at all; the original deeds, however, bein
in possession of the Comptroller; and in other cases
property to the value of fifty thousand dollars wa
discovered, which was in the possession of othe
parties. Negotiations are still pending with tn
party giving the first clue, and it is expected the
will lead to more astonishing disclosures.
The PRINCE OF WALES Love SroRY d EN1ED.-
Harriet Martineau, in her last letter to the Ant
Slavery Standard, says:
The Prince of Wales will soon be am ong you,
need hardly offer the word of warning which ye
it may be well to utter-that all gossipin
stories about his love affairs, or any other prank
some of which appeared in American newspaper
are altogether false. 1t is pity that anv Ent
lishman stoops to write such unworthy nonsens
to your journals. The Prince is only 49, he has a
ways been carefully guarded and accompanied; an
his relaxation from his studies, and the really st
rious object of his life have been healthful field
sports, and worthy manly pleasures. Other fam
lies and individuals can defend their regulations
, Royal families and young princes cannot; and ever
iar-minded person is indignant accordingly whe
they are libeled."
