XfT The Memphis Englt nnd Enquire!1 runs up the name of Millard Fillmore aa the American candidate for the Presidency In 1856, subject to the decision of tho National American Convention. In connection with the announcement, the Eagle nnd Enquirer publishes numerous extracts from lettera re ceived from ita correspondents In Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, expressing the pre ference of the people of those States In va rlout localities, for Mr. Fillmore. ' There are, (be it said to their honor,) says the Nashville Gazette, a number of our foreign citizens who rightly understand the American movement, and who, despite the invectives and threats of the Sag Nivht for eigners, Vuted with tho American party. They are the intelligent nnd rensonnble por tion of our foreign population, who do not fail to see the baneful influences of anti- American rule In this land of liberty. They have discovered whither we are tending un der the present regime, nnd have the magna nimity and patriotism to acknowledge the necessity of reform, in relation to the influx and naturalization of foreigners. They de. serve the confidence and praise of the com. 1 The following is an extract of a let ter from a Virginian travelling in England.

The gold coinage, wholly in don ble eagles and gold dollnra,amountedto only $280,380. The silver coinage, wholly in quarter dollars, was only $166,000.

The editor of the Evansville Journal who was in Louisville nt the time of the riots, and carefully noted tho events aa they occurred, has long article on the subject, from which the following extract la taken : "Last Monday about noon, we visited the polls of four wards, all of which tee had horned at the Courier office, were in posses sion nf the Know Nolhii ga, nnd that none but Know Nothings could vote there, We found everything peaceable at these polls. Foreign-born citizens came up in our presence and voted, and voted white tickets openly while all the American ticketa were yellow. There were a few drunken men about, but otherwise we never saw more peaceable vot- ng. During the morning there had been probably half s dozen fights, but nothing ap proaching a riot, nor were they on account of Ssg-Nichts voting. Everything promised to pass off comparatively peaceably, and good citizens were anxiously watching to quell disturbances. When we returned, the Courier nd issued no extra which was headed with the following inflammatory paragraph : "Infamous Outrages. Aa we anticipated. he Know Nothing bullies took possession of me polls early tins morning, nnd have kept them up to this hour. They hnvo brutally knocked down nnd maltreated hundred of Voters, among them many of our best citizens. I Hose opposed to them uru beaten and driven from the pulls. Mob law is triumphant, and iiouiavinu is dishonored and disgraced. "We have not language to express the feelings of those acquainted with the fade who rend this utterly uncalled for, unfounded statement, and so much calculated to arouse the feelings of those opposed to the American party on that day. The polls were not in the possession of the Know Nothings, and there had only been about the usual number of election fights. We mention this one subject to prove that even when the election was half over, the basest arts were used by the oppo site party to arouse the worst passions. But we let this puss for the present About 3 o clock there were reports of a mob in the First ward, the extreme upper part of the city. At ence, with many others we went to that ward. There were assembled a large number of native-born citizens, among whom were several slightly wounded. They hud riddled several houses occupied by Ger. mans, but so far as we could learn, hud de. stroyed no life, though they had badly beaten several Germans and Irish who had fired upon Americans. The account given by the Louis ville Journal agrees almost exactly with the particulars as gathered by us after as thorough investigation as circumstances would admit The first attack wni made nt a point fur dis tant from the polls, nnd by Germans. They fired upon innocent persona who were offer ing them no insult, but were quietly walking or riding along the streets. A baser outrage was never committed than this act of the Germane, utterly without provocation as it was, and committed upon respectable nnd quiet citizens who were committing no wrong and suspecting no wrong. There were live American citizens lying in a doctor shop at one time, severely wounded by these coward ly miscreants, and a sixth one, nn officer, waiting for his turn." Edwd Everett. The Boston Advertiser has published in an extra the great oration of the American Cicero Edwd. Everett delivered on the Fourth, in his native place, Dorchester, Mass. The following is the con eluding paragraph; the whole address occu pies nearly nine columns of the Advertiser Thus, mv friends, in tho neighborhood the spot where in my early childhood, I ac quired the first elements of learning, at one of those public schools which are tho glory and strength ol New r.iiglnnrt, I have spo. ken to vou imporfectly of the appropriate. topics of the day.

Then make it greater. No learning at ail is surely the most dangerous thing in the world; and it is unfortunate that, in this eountry nt least, it is a danger which cannot possibly exist After ull learning is acquired knowledge, and nothing else. A man who can read his Bibles has a little learning, a man who can only plough or dig, has less, a man who can only bieuk stones on the road, less still, but he has some.

THE LAST LOOK. A wife lay dying. Suffering had wasted her benntiea but from ths wreck of her former charms, through ths medium of her Week and faded eyes, were peering the lus tre of a soul prepared to go as through the crevices of soms hoary and crumbling bastion, shoot the rays of an evening moon. And ss the earth grew darker snd the dashes of the sullen billows of death began to reach the ear, she turns her face to him who was weeping beside her the object of her first nnd latest love, nnd with one long glnnce one beaming smile one lingering kiss de parted into another and better world. And he went forth a mourner but that last look mingles in his duties and controls his visions. A youth left his esrly home for the active theatre of the world. Standing upon the hill beyond the brook, he east his eyes backward upon the picture from which he would soon be separated forever. There stood the cot, green with the wood-bhi his own hand, had planted there were his parents and his sis ter looking through misty eyes after their de parting idol. He gazed around but a mo. ment -such scenes are too tender for the stoutest hearts and casting silent kisses to. wards the group of beloved ones, he dashed down the hill nnd returned no more. An old man, whose hair was thin and white, like the hoary frost, waa summoned from the council chamber of the nation to enter a wnv In which ho had not walked be. fore.' The sage sank down within tho walls which had so often reverberated with his fer vid eloquence, and looking around him mur mured, 'I am content! And his Inst look is like a living picture, inscribed with these sub lime last words, even to the present, upon nil men. A lover lind left his idol. Beneath the trysting tree of early hours there went they for their parting. With promises strong as oaths, with kisses as sweet as honey, with tears aa plentiful aa rain, they tore their hearts asunder. The last look was changed, and the sadness of parting commenced. Tho maiden dreams there often of his unbroken companionship, alas for her, when she awakes from that delusive vision. 'Every beginning has an end.' The most painful ingredient in the cup of humnn ac tion, is thnt in quaffing which disappointment is the cup bearer. But even misfortune mnst have an end; the bowl is broken at the foun tain, and life and ita sorrows have on end likewise. The Bloom or Aos. A good woman nev er grows old. Years may pass over her head, but if benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she Is as cheerful as when the spring of life first opened to her view. When we look upon a good womanwe never think of her age; she looks as charming as when the rose of youth first bloomed on har cheek. That rose has not faded yet; it will never fude. In her neigborhood she is the friend and benefactor. Who does not respect nnd love the woman who has passed her days acts of kindness and mercy? We repeat. such a woman cannot grow old. She will always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, nnd active in humble deeds of mercy and benevo lence. If tho the young lady desires to re' tain the bloom and beauty of youth, let her not yield to the sway of fashion nnd follyjlet her love truth and virtue, and to the close of life she will retain those feelings which now make life appear a gnrden of sweets ever fresh and ever new. Personal Beauty. Just about the Inat inheritance which a parent should wish hi child whether male or female, is personal beauty. It is about the poorest kind of capi tnl to start in the world with. Whoever saw a beauty worth the first red cent! We mean what tho world calls beauty, for there is kind of beauty more than skin deep, which the world does not fully recognize it Is not of thnt which we speak. But the girls whom all the fops and fools go Into ectneies over and about. We should as soon a child ol ours should bo not quite so beautiful. And then your handsome young man, over and about whom all the foolish school girls are in ecstacies, what chance has he of ever being anybody? A sad destroyer of ambition is beauty. Stvftic A young man named Jno. Barnes, aged 17 years, bled to death on Mon day morning in Buffalo from the effect of a tooth which had been extracted some days previous.

Let it be pulverised and Inid upon lint so as to getaa much aa possible iu the cavity of the tooth, held in by the wad of lint or cot ton. By renewing the application two or three times relief is rendered almost certain. We hnve never known a failure, and hnve seen it spplied to some desperate cases. M. Y.

We need make no .'apology for devoting much of ottr space td an cecjlint of the Ur flblK riots nt Louisville, and their origin. A monstrous outrage has been perpetrated eninst th publl peacf and th causs of vil liberty. JUetiM requires that the coun try should know wb is rtonio'akand that the guilty offender srlio brought on th fray by making th first mnrdsroos attack on peaceable nnd unarmed elthfens, should, with their allies and Instigators in the work of lawless destruction, be' held to a rigid ao- eountability at the bar of public opinion. The Louisville Journal -of Monday pub- she affidavit and eerlifieate from twenty- Jive persons, many of them eye witnesses of the various scenes they describe, verifying the statements we 'lave .heretofore copied from that print, to the Bool' that these terri ble rlota war eoatcBsvAa y rorsmners, considerable distance from th places of vo ting, thnt tho first blood that was shed was shed by foreigners, nnd that they had delib. brately prepared with fir arms before the day of election, for a deadly collision with the Americans. We cannot conveniently find room for this mass of affidavits and certifi cates, which occupy about three columns in that mammoth paper, but we extract the fol lowing synopsis of some nf the points of proof therein made out npon personal knowledge nnd ohservntioa of the wit- nesscss : Nashville Whig. We have not room to give a complete an- alysis of these affidavits, but it will be seen that they lire for the most fart the auorn statements of respectable one reliable men, wno were ere witnesses oi ine mauers to which they dospose. Some of them are state ments upon oath of foreieners nnd catholics. who lived In the iniinedtalo neighborhood of tho scene ot the run, nnd sotni actually were great sufferers thereby From the testimony of Mrs. Caroline Wall (whoso husband, nn Irishman tnd a Roman Catholic, was in nil probability among those killed in Quinn's houses,) it appears for some weeks previous tu the election the Irish in the neighborhood where the not occurred had been procuring arms and preparing for a ft''ht and that on the Saturday night of tho Ameri can torch light procession she had heard these Irishmen any thnt "thru were led to believe that the procession would be small by those who opposed the Know Nothings, that she saw many or them say that they intended to attack the procession." josepn Mucker, a uermnn and a Uatholic, who lived in one of Quinn's houses (which wero burned,) says thcru were seventu-Rve or one hundred Irishmen living in that row, nnd they had many visitors of their countrymen, that during two or three weeks preceding the election he saw msny or them often with pistols nnd guns, and heard one of them, ho had pistols, say, on the Saturday before the election, that he was ready, that he had seen Quinn carry arms into his house, and that Quinn had tnsistcsf. ojton hi (Hnckor's) vot ing, although Quinn knew that he (Hucker) was not entitled to a vote. James F. Bickham saw the Irish, eiajit or ten in number, on tho morning of the election, moulding a large quantity ol bullets in tho cellar of one of these houses, and on the I same morning, from 10 to 3 o'clock, ThosAV. Flnrell saw numbers of these Irismen, armed with pistols and bowie knivea, passing in nnd out from the houses of this row. These men had begged Mrs. Wall's husband to receive arms in his house. The women hnd slept in their clothes the previous night, so as to be ready to leave upon the shortest notice, nnd Mrs. Ruby Dodd, nnd Elizabeth Dodd nnd Margaret Dodd, her duugeters, corroborate nil these statements as to the preparations that hud been made by the Irish in the neighborhood of Main nnd Eleventh streets. It is plain to every one that "those who were opposed to the Know Nothings," who led these Irish to believe that the American procession would be small nnd instigated them to mukean attack upon it, must nlludo to tiie demagogues of the Sag Nicht party, who have thus inflamed and aroused the pas sion of these poor wretches and misled them to the commission of the horrid crimes which began the riots in that neighborhood. This is the key to the whole of the subsequent proceedings. The poor miserable Irish were led to believe that the American party was small, that Americans were their enemies,and that they should treat them as enemies. It is unnecessary for us to characterize such con duct and the miscreants who could be guilty of it as they deserve to be characterized. A discriminating public will, without any sug gestions from us, place the fiat of condemna. tion upon nil who are guilty of such consum mate vileness. Mr. R. H. Lee states that there was but little or no fighting nt the eight ward polls during the day and that the foreigners were not nt any time driven from lue polls. All the other deponents concur in their history ot the commencement or the riot. Privileged Members.

The organization of whieh thnt notorious porson was the founder, wus n mili tary one, nt Boston, unconnected with the political parties of the country. a. it is nnqnniineoiy raise, thnt the Know Nothings had their origin at the North. They organized their first councils, or wig wams, In Baltimore, a Southern city, under the following circumstances: Just before nn election there two years ago, or thereabouts, the leaders, or one of them, of tha fnivitrnara nnd Roman Catholics, went to the leader of one ol the political parties the candidate for .Mayor and offered to give him the whole foreign and Catholic vote provided ho would bind himself to appoint certain individuals to office, after his election, a list of whose names, and of the offices desired for them, was furnished. The candidate refused to mnke sn v such corrupt bargain, and aure enough he was beaten by his opponent After the inauguration of the successful can. didute, it was observed that nil, or nearly all, of the porsons whoso names were on the aforesaid lists, were appointed to the offices therein specified ! Intelligence of these facts spread like wildfire through the city. They were investigated and found to be too true; nnd resulted in arousing the Native American sentiment of tho Baltimorer.ns to fever heat, and in the birth and organization of the so cauea ft now nothings. Not Worth the Trouble. "Oh! it's not worth tho toruble to dress, I see only my husband. Then madam if your husband is not better worth pleasing than a host of com pany, it is a pity you are married. Nol worth the troublo to surround yourself with every grace snd fascination that you are ca pable of! Then if you aro a neglected wife by and by, never complain, for it is your own fault It wns not 'worth the trouble,' says tho nervous mother, snatching the Implements of work from the hands of her awkwnrd child; not worth the troublo to teach her can do it bolter myself.

The instruc tor has not one titlier of the interest you should hnve in the child, thinks it well worth the trouble to impart to her a dozon different accomplishments; alas! that the mother should be more indifferent than a stranger. It is not worth tho trouble. How often them words are uttered! nnd with what snd consequences lollowed. 1 ho woman be comes the slovenly housekeeper; the daugh ter the insignificant pleasure seeker; friends are estranged, because its not worth the troub le to explain 'that little difference' and the influence of spirit pervading such a decision is felt to the detriment of every walk in life. Be careful then how you carelessly utter the words, 'it's not worth the trouble.' Sworr Off. Shuinan, of the Syracuse Journal, has foresworn the use of tobacco henceforth and forever. He says: "We had smoked until our nervous system was like a fiddle unstrung until we had becom as weak as n child, as miserable as a constant head ache and heartache could make us, and ns wild brained as a drunken poet. We were smoking our neryous system into fidgets; our coporeal frame was being reduced to skin and bones, nnd our mental machinery was becom. ing disordered and unmanageable. The hab it cost us not a little suffering, and about $2 a week in hard cash. We swore off, and stopped it have not smoked a whiff since feel batter, and aro growing fnt and strong.

Ho even pronounce them "the children of the Devil." W have no doubt thnt hi great dread and horror of both Free Masons and the Odd Fellows rest upon the fuel thnt they have th bible aprend ont before them in their Lodges, and that they avowedly adopt it as the great guide of their lives.

The Pope. What is to become of mason ry now! An old chap nt Rome, whose name sadly belies his character, somewhat famoua ror his peregrinations to Oneta and back, has expressed his opinions relative to "secret so cieties" in nn allocution (what does thnt mean!) on the 9th of December last: "Wo have still to lament the existence of an Impi ous race, who would exterminate all religious worship, if it were possible for them; nnd we must count amongst them before nil the members of secret societies, who bound to gether by a criminal compact, neglect no means of overthrowing the Church and State by the violation ot every law. It is ngainst them assuredly thnt the words of the Divine Redeemer are rjirectcd:"iou are the children of the Devil, and do the work of your father." Not so, Mr. Pius; our Saviour had no such persons in view. His denunciations were ngainst n corrupt priesthood whoso delight it was to throw dust in the eyes of religiously inclined persons nnd whose "tithe of mint nnd cununin" waa"too grievous to be born." You can make tho application much nearer to Rome than any Masonic Lodge. Too Coot To Be Lost. The citizen of H n, Mis., assembled at a church to celebrate the 4th instant, by reading the De clnrntion of Independence and Washington's Farewell address. An old gentleman, com ing in rather late walked up near the pulpit while Washington s Address wns being read, The old one listened nntil he henrd 'Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, I con jure you to believe me, fulloiv-citizana, the i r I I. 1 jealousy ui a ireo pvupic uuiit iu uu cuo stonily awaKo, since insiory ami experience prove that foreign influence is one of tho most baneful foes of republican government' When this was read, he threw up his hut in n passion, and left the house.
