7C>f" Our County Commissioners have |
been in session most of the present week,
making the county levy and considering
road petitions. It is probable that Col
lectors and School Treasurer will be ap
pointed before adjournment.
Nominations. —The bolting Know
nothing Convention at New York nom
inated Banks, the abolition Speaker of
the House of Representatives, for Pres
ident, and Johnston, abolition cx-Gov
eruur of Pennsylvania, fur Vice Presi
dent. The Black Republican Conven
tion at Philadelphia has nominated Frk
mont for President, and Dayton, of New
Jersey, for Vice President.
These nominations are well calculated
to open the eyes of all constitutional men
in the Union to the game that is to be
played in the present Presidential con
test. Heaven and earth is to be moved
to effect the nefarious designs of section
alism, and thcro is to boa combination
all the isms iu the laud to overthrow the j
Constitution and the Union. If the
•South docs not act as an unit in the strug
gle, it will not be through ignorance of
the blow directed against its interest, nor
for want of warning by those aiming to
subvert its institutions. The develop
ments already made cannot fail to unite,
iu a common bond, all the true patriots
in the land against the factioumts, and
our word for it that the latter will lie so
overwhelmed by the result as to ho glad
in all time to conic to submit in silence to
the behests of the Constitution.
The Death-Knell of Fanaticism.—
From all quarters (says the Lowell Ad
vertiser) the telegraphic wires bring us
the joyous and universal shouts of the
democracy, ratifying the nomination of
Buchanan and Breckinridge. Notone
discordant or dessenting voice strikes
upon the car. The great democratic
family, from Maine to California, are
bound together like a band of brothers,
with heart and hand pledged as one man
to the perpetuation of Democratic princi
ples, to the united and harmonious sup
port of the Democratic nominees, and to
the utter and complete annihilation of
those twin curses, Know-nothingism and
Black Republicanism, which are striving
to weaken and divide the great Ameri
can confederation, and blight the use
fulness and prosperity of the country.
The (Cincinnati Convention has tolled the
death-knell of both the traitorous fac
tions, and the ides of November will see
them sunk into the deepest shades of
their native darkness, and iu the utter
contempt of the American people.
A Know-nothing City. —Scarcely a
day passes hut a case of assassination or
murder takes place at New Orleans. On
Sunday night, the Bth instant, throe
persons were stabbed in the streets by
unknown rowdies. Charles Mackey died
on the same day from wounds received
during the election riots. Rowdyism
seems to have full sway in the city.
Very jpw, if any, arrests are made.
Acceptance of Mk. Fillmore.— The
committee appointed by the last Phila
delphia Know-nothing Convention to
apprize Mr. Fillmore of his nomination
for the Presidency have at last received
a formal response from that gentleman.
He unhesitatingly accepts the nomina
tion, platform and all. The letter of ac
ceptance was written at Paris, and hears
date of May 21.
Breckinmdoe at Home. —The Louis
ville Democrat says:
“Wo understand that the excitement
iu Lexington upon the reception of the
news of the nomination of Hon. John
C. Breckinridge for the Vice Presidency
was tremendous beyond the powers of
description. The nomination of Buch
anan hail just created the wildest enthu
siasm ; hut when it was known thatKen
•tuckyji favorite son had heen placed on
the whole population seemed
• M ' c Srw?th joy. This feeling will not lie
. JwjineJ to the home of Mr. Breckinridge.
As the news spreads out over the rural
district.:, one universal shout will go up
from the valleys to the hill-tops, nnd
from the hill-tops to the valleys agsin.
We venture the prediction that one hun
dred Know-nothing councils of this
State will be disbanded before the first of
July next.”
urn eorge W. Duvall, Esq., former
ly a member of the Maryland Legislature
from Prince George’s county, died on
tb 6th instant.
THE PEOPLE RESPONDING.
A grand Democratic mass meeting, to
; ratify the nominations of Buchanan and
Breckinridge, was held at Lancaster, Pa.,
jon Saturday last. Speeches were made
by Col. Richardson of Illinois, Colonel
Preston of Kentucky, Governor Man
ning of South Carolina, and Governor
Brown of Mississippi.
A Democratic ratification mooting was
held at Buffalo, New York, on Saturday
evening last. The greatest enthusiasm
was manifested.
The Democracy of Schuylkill county,
Pennsylvania, were to have held a ratifi
cation meeting at Pottsvillo Tuesday j
17th inst. lion. F. W. Hughes, C. i
M. Straub, C. R. Buckulew, Richard
Vaux, IV. H. Witte, J. Glancy Jones,
11. B. Wright, John Cadwalader, Win.
Bigler, C. W. Carrigan, Samuel W.
Black, J. R. McOlintock, and other dis
tinguished Democrats, were expected to
be present to address the meeting. A
monster demonstration was expected in
favor of the nominees of the National
Convention —Buchanan and Brcckin-1
ridge-—and the Democratic platform.
The Democracy of Old Berks, Pa.,
held a ratification meeting at Reading
on Saturday last.
Largo and enthusiastic ratification
meetings have heen held last week in
various parts of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Kentucky and Tennessee.
The ratification meeting held at Rich
mond on Friday evening last, proved to
he a most imposing demonstration. The
Enquirer says:
“ The African Church was crammed
with an enthusiastic assemblage of tUb,
Richmond Democracy, called together,
not by the fictitious aids of music or
cannon, hut by the spontaneous upheav
ing of genuine patriotism, to ratify the
Cincinnati nominations and platform.—
Not only was every portion of the vast
building filled, hut there was a large
number outside at each door and win
dow. It was one of the largest and
most enthusiastic meetings we have ever
seen in Richmond.”
The same paper adds :
“Thereupon Messrs. Hopkins and E.
W. Hubard, of Virginia, and Bedford
Brown, of North Carolina, delegates to
Cincinnati Convention, delivered brief
i lint interesting and eloquent addresses,
setting forth the action of the Cincin
nati Convention, and tracing the politi
cal history of Messrs. Buchanan and
Brcckinriqgc. They all rendered just
and handsome tributes to the Cincinnati
nominees, and gave convincing reasons
for their triumphant election.
“ Gov. Wise was next loudly called
for, and made one of the happiest and
most effective addresses we ever hoard
from him. We shall not attempt to give
the slightest outline of his speech,which
enchained the large and attentive audi
ence until past-eleven o’clock.
“ The meeting then adjourned, on mo
tion of Mr. G. L. Betty, with throe
rousing cheers for Buchanan and Breck
inridge.”
The people arc responding!
Mit. Dallas and the British Gov
ernment.—The London correspondent I
of the New Y’ork Journal of Commerce
says the general opinion in London is
that Mr. Crumpton’s dismissal will be
I followed by the dismissal of Mr. Dallas,
j This, however, the writer docs not he-1
: lieve, and he adds that great exertions
! are making, and by powerful men, to in
| fluence the government not to tender
Mr. Dallas his passports, and the writer
is of opinion that they will not fail. It
is proper to state that Mr. Dallas lias ex
ercised no agency, directly or indirect
ly, Vm the subject; but there is such un
bounded confidence, in every intelligent
circle in the metropolis, in the rectitude
of his heart, that his retention is univer
sally desired. The writer adds:
“If Gen. Pierce will give to Mr.
Dallas the exclusive control of all the
I matters in dispute between Great Britain
and the United States, he will have the
; pleasure of handing over to his succes
sor on the 4th of March next a clear re
cord as far as relates to that country—
, and a most satisfactory one as concerns
I the interests of the Union. It ih certain
that a successor to Mr. Crompton will
not be appointed until after the installs-;
lion of a new President.”
The Testimony of a Political Oero
n’knt. —The last Burlington (Iowa) State
Gazette has a long article in relation to
Kansas affairs from which we make the
I
following extract:
“ While on this subject, we will say
that we have just had a conversation
with Win. S. Graff, Esq., who has re
cently returned from Kansas. Mr. G.
is well known as a lawyer nnd an ac
tive opponent of the administration. — ;
During the last campaign in this State
he was decidedly the ‘great gun’ in Dcs|
Moines county on the fusion side; lie.,
; certainly cannot he accused of partiality |
to rthc administration ; hilt wo believe j
I him to be an honest man, and his testi
mony is, that, though there arc faults on I
both sides, the atrocities of the frco-Stale j
party are far greater than those of the |
pro-slavery side. The late murder of,
• five pro-slavery men by the abolitionists, ■
on the Ossawatainio, lie says. w< a wan
ton act, done without provocation, and I
attended with sanguinary cruelty; the j
poor creatures were broken in upon in j
the night, dragged from their beds, and,
! in defiance of the entreaties of their
wives,•murdered and afterwards savagely
' mutilated. The emissaries of the onst-
I ern abolitionists, ho considers, arc the i
prime causes of all the disturbances.”
Mr. Gkait is a native of this county.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of the Montgom
ery County Bible Society convened in
the Presbyterian (’hutch, in Rockville,
on Tuesday, the sth of February, 1860.
The following report of the proceed
ings of the Society was presented and
read by the Hon. Richard J. Bowie;
which on motion was received and adopt
ed, and ordered to bo published iu the
newspapers of the county.
To the liible Society of Montgomery Co:
The Executive committee of your
society, pursuant to the provisions of the
7th and Bth Articles of tlio Constitution,
! submit the following report of the pro
, ceodings during the past year :
j The society having been organized
jby the election of a President, Vice
President, Secretary, Treasurer and
Board of Managers. The Executive
committee held its first meeting on the
17th day of November, 1854, when the
Rev. Basil Barry, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, was elected Oolpo
teur and agent for distributing the Holy
Scripftircs, and collecting contributions,
for the space of six months, at a salary of
; $l5O. Mr. Barry ontered as promptly
as practicable upon the laborious duties
of his vocation, and notwithstanding a
severe winter steadily prosecuted them
without intermission until the period of
his engagement expired. The Executive
committee being convened in semi-an
nual meeting in May last, (1855,) re
ceived the report of their Agent, which
exhibiting abundant cause for satisfac
tion with his activity and devotion to the
service, they re-elected him for the resi
due of the year, at the some rate of com
pensation, being S3OO per annum.
The report of the agent and tabular
statements show that he has visited
1,752 families, distributed 08 Bibles and
80 Testaments gratuitously, sold Bibles
and Testaments to the amount of $138.20;
and collected the sunt of $<101.38 on sub
scriptions and donations, making in the
aggregate $780.58, all of which, has
been duly accounted for with the 'Treas
urer, who has boon authorized to remit
to theparenfsooiety the sum of $225.00.
Believing the circulation of the “Holy
Scriptures,” without note or comment,
among the people is the most direct
moans under Providence of dissemina
ting truth, enlightening the minds and
reforming the moralsof the public, your
committee humbly trust'the work which
has been but just revived among them,
under such favorable auspices, will not
bo permitted to languish for want of
pecuniary means or moral nuasion. The
perennial flow of our springs and rivers,
“ the early and the latter rain” are not
more essential to seed time and harvest,
than the constant exercise of enlarged
and liberal charity to tho development
and purification of the human heart; and
as it is more blessed to give than to rc-
I c live, the members of this society should
be grateful lo Almighty God for opening
a field of usefulness among us, so broad
that all can cultivate and rejoice in it:-
bencficcnt results.

Still Another Homicide —.l Fratri
cide.—On Saturday afternoon last, says
the Washington Star, William Howard,
a young man, was murdered by his bro
ther, Samuel Howard, in Alexandria
county, Va., where they both belong, 1
and to whose orderly and respectable;
citizens they have long been a nuisance
and a terror, in connection with a gang
of lawless desperadoes with whom they j
associate. Tho murder was committed J
on the road leading from Georgetown by
the tollgato on the Columbia turnpike to
Alexandria. William Howard passed
by the tollgntc much intoxicated, and]
laid down by the roadside, at the foot of
the hill, about one hundred yards south
of the gale of James Roach, Esq. In
half an hour hi:, brother Sam came down!
tho turnpike to the tollgato, armed with
a large knife and being drunk. Leaving
tho tollgato ho proceeded down tho road
to where his brother lay sleeping, and
awakened him. On doing so the hitter
at first endeavored to make him go away,
but finally got up and proceeded with
him some distance, perhaps half a mile
further down the road, where the alter
cation ensued, in which the murderer
stabbed his victim five or six times in
the back and side, one wound at least,
penetrating his heart, and probably pro
ducing death instantly. The murderer
not long afterwards, bloodied over, with
slcev.es rolled up and knife in hand,
went up to the buggy of Mr. McLean,
lumber dealer in this city, who resides
I near where the crime was perpetrated.
Air. McL., knowing his bad character,
motioned him away menacingly. His
crime only became known by the discov
ery of the corpse of his victim yesterday
morning by persons passing over the
road. Suspicion was instantly fastened
on Samuel Howard, and he was promptly
sought for at his home, four miles further
up iu the country, and was found thorc
in bed. his bloody shirt and knife being
discovered under the bed. 110 was taken
down to Alexandria and lodged in the
county jail, to bo examined for final
commitment.
The Xailor Gang at La iiok —Escape
of Primnrr*. — About nine o’clock last
night the guards at the jail discovered
that liny, (hoggin and Bailey, three of
the gang of burglars who were arrested
about tho time of tho escape of Washing
ton Nailor, an l David Y. Moore, who
was committed for voting in several pre
uinets at the last election, had broken
jail and escaped. They had been con
fined in tho northern colls of the jail
fronting the high wall on G street.—
They got out of tho cell and cut an iron
bar out of tho window, which let them
into the yard. They then scaled the
high wall by means of a rope, it is
thought. A party of men wore seen
going from tho wall in different direc
tions, and they are supposed to have been
the prisoners and their friends. Infor
mation of the escape was carried directly
to Captain Mills and Mayor Magrudcr,
who immediately stationed tho guards to
intercept tho fugitives should they at
tempt to leave the city. A search was
also made at tho old haunts of tho par
tii i, but they were no where to ho found.
It i.s said Moore and a smaller man,
probably Bailey, were seen to leave
Moore’s house mi Eleventh street, nnd
taken westerly direction. The. police
and court bailiffs were sent to the differ
ent, roads, but at the time of writing
this no certain information relative to
them has been obtained. Ft is generally
supposed that they wore furnished with
the implements to effect their escape by
friends who had boon allowed to visit
them at the jail.- - Wash. Star, 10t/i.
Murder and Lynch Law in Cali
fornia. — A i'll- Orlrunt, .Jiao: 11.—The
steamship Daniel Webster arrived ■ from
Hun Juan on the 6th instant, with Ham
Francisco dates to the 21st ultimo. Her
advices are highly interesting.
Great excitement prevail -d in San
Francisco. A man named Casey shot
James King, fff William, editor of the
Bulletin, iu the street. Casey was
promptly arrested, and committed to
jail. This occurred on tho 1 Ith ultimo.
On the 16th Mr. King died, and great
excitement ensued. Tho old' vigilance
committee called a meeting, and placards
of an inflammatory nature were posted
about the city calling on tho citizens to
take the law into their own hands.
On Sunday, the 18th, three thousand
citzens, completely organized into di
visions and companies, and armed with
muskets, marched by three streets <from
the committee rooms, took possession of
the jail, and from thence took Casey and
the gambler Corn,, and carried them to
the committee rooms, whore they re
mained closely guarded at the sailing of
| the steamer.
They have since been tried and sen-!
I tcnced to he hung.
The whole city was draped in mourn
| ingfor the death of Mr. King, who was
highly esteemed, lie was a native of
<reorgetown, I). 0.
Cnsy was formerly an inmate of Sing
Sing Prison, the statement of which in
Mr. King’s paper caused the difficulty.
The vigilance committco was fully
organised throughout the State, and was
! said to have $75,000 with which to
I carry their measures into effect.
The committco have plenty of arms
land ammunition. Their proceedings
have boon characterized hy the most per
fect order and propriety.
I. et it Die.
The Know-nothings take credit to
themselves (says the North Carolina
Standard) for having, as thr/i say, abol- 1
ished their secrecy, oaths, <te. Twelve
months ago they declared that these oaths;
and this secrecy, and especially their
third degree were the very things to j
save the country and protect the rights
of the South; now they say they are an
open, mid-day, unsworn party, and ask
the people on this account to trust them.
If they were right twelve months ago;
they must he wrong now. Who knows j
how long they will maintain their pr< sent,
opinions ns to the oaths and secrecy?—’
'J hey admit they have changed their line
of conduct once; they may do it again
and again; but every time they depart j
from usages which have become unpopu- !
bir they will, of course, declare that l
they are right, and that they arc better
prepared than ever to save the country.
But such n party cun never obtain the I
confidence of the people. It, is rapidly
going to decay. Kike Jonah’s gourd, it;
sprang up m file night, and it IS new;
withering under the sun of popular in- j
dignatiou. Let it die.
John Van BtritK.v.—Tt is stated that;
John Van Huron's sudden devotion to
Southern men and Southern l ights is ex
plained by his approaching marriage with ;
a young lady' recently returned from
Kuropo, and now in Now York—thoon* |
ly child of a w-.althy Senator of South
Karelina, recently deceased. John will
thus becvwy a largo slaveholder. I
if fT The New Haven Register flays!
the black republicans arc sending to
Kansas $120,000, to stimulate rebellion
and murder; their e alterations being
that this amount spent there is more
available than three times the amount
spent in the free States, and that, by the
excitement they will get up in Kansas,
they will carry so many of the northern
States that from State patronage they
can liberally reimburse themselves.
Kitano. —Authentic information has
reached tho State Department at Wash
ington, that, as the islands called
“Mona” and “Monita” are claimed as
dependencies of Puerto Rico, and, con
sequently, ns belonging to Spain, it is
expected that guano will not be removed
from them without the permission of tho
Captain General of Puerto Rico.
To Periodical Publishers.
The editor of the Washington (I). 0.) Spec
tator designs to publish, about August next, a
list of all the periodicals from monthlies to dai
lies in the Uifitcd States—embracing California
and the Territories—with terms and general
character, so far ns ho can ascertain them.
To aid in making up his list, and in carry
ing out his further plan he invites all ‘publish
ers to send him throe cofiie* of their publications,
first issued after the fourth of July, (or such as
shall contain fullest accounts of the occurrences I
of that day.) These lie proposes to hind—one
set to he filed in tho Congressional Library—
one in the Library of tho Smithsonian Institu
tion—the other for his own sanctum.
He also requests this notice may be inserted
once or more times, in the editorial columns of
his coteinporaries. Those publishers who give
it a place and send him a*copy of their papers
containing it, will he furnished with a copy of
the list when published.
