Sr. Loris, May 9th.—A Kansas correspond
entsays that Sheriff Jones is somewhat better,
but his recovery is still doubtful.
[Nearly all the "news from Kansas" is on a
par with that in relation to Sheriff Jones. The
first report was he was only slightliwounded
—then flat he had been killed—next that he
alive add recovering—then again he was
certainly dead—and now again he turns up
"somewhat better." Those who are anxious
to keep up the Kansas excitement had better
turn their attention to something else. The
Sheriff Jones story is becoming stale.—Sun.)
New Jersey Democratic Convention.
Tazwros, May 6.—The Democratic Conven
tion of New Jersey met here to-day and ap;
pointed delegates to the Cincinnati Conven
tion.' Resolutions , were.passed instructing the
delegates to vote for Mr. Buchanan ; denounc
ing Know Nothingism ; endorsing the national
administration and the principles of the Kan
sas and Nebraska act.
New Jersey Know Nothing Council.
BORDENTOWN, N. j., may 7.—The Know
Nothing State Council met here this morning
at 10 o'clock. A great deal of angry discus
.'ion occurred in'reference to the Philadelphia
convention of Feb. 22d. A committee was ap
pointed to make a report. One of thedele
gates stated that the nomination of Mr. Fill
snore was not fairly obtained—that it was
done by the Southern and spurious delegates,
The statement was confirmed by Judge Marsh,
the president of , the late convention at Phila
delphia. Several delegates gave their opinion
that if the nomination of Mr. Fillmore was rat
ified by the State Council it would lose New
Jersey-to the Know Nothing party. It was
then agreed to take no further steps towards
ratifying the nomination of Mr. Fillmore until
he was heard from in reference to his "Amer
icanism." The whole subject was then laid
upon the table and the State Council adjourn
ed.to meet on the 28th of May at Newark. No
delegates were elected to the National Council.
New _Hampshire K. N. Council.
PLTMOVTH, N. IL, May 6.—The New Hamp
shire Know Nothing State Council to-day
elected delegates to the Free Soil Know Noth
ing Convention, which is to meet in N. York
on the 12th June. Also passed strong Know"
Nothing and anti-Nebraska resolutions, en-.•
doming the action of their delegates in seced
ing from the Philadelphia Convention ; re
pudiating the nomination of Fillmore and
Donelsen. The resolutions were adopted
unanimously. •
Massachusetts Polities.
BOSTON, May 6.—A meeting of the Know
Nothing Council was held to-day, when, Fill
more-men were elected officers, and resolu
tions repudiating the noznination . of Mr. Fill
mere were tabled by a decided majority. The
anti-Fillmore men retired, and will probably
issue a call to elect delegates to the New York
convention.
.Michigatt.- 7 The Albany Journal says "there
is no State in the Union more certain than
Michigan to give its vote for the Republican
candidate for•lhiPresideneYr. — Probably not;
and yet the odds are at least two to one that
Michigan votes against him.—Bajp/o Com.
Adverti.ver.
The odds are greater than that. If "there
is no State in the Union more certain than
Michigan to give its vote for the Republican
candidate," Dien that candidate for the Presi
dency will have no votes in the electoral col
lege. Re will be beaten worse than Gen.
Scott was beaten in 1852. The late township
elections in this State show a Democratic ma
jority of seven thousand at least, and we our
selves have no doubt the Democratic majority
—is-ten-thousand.---Detroft-Ffee-Press.
Ser-The Huntingdon.Globe gives an muff,-
in account of the K. N. ratifi&tion meetin
held in Huntingdon recently. It seems a row
occurred between John Williams and Messrs.
Benedict and Wharton, (the former b•. op
-posed to Pain:lore) each claiming to belon. to
the simon-pure American party. The c), 1 1 fu
sion finally became so great that a motion was
made to adjourn and everybody left the hall in
disgust.
Atte-The Know Nothing papers, says the
'ashville Union, are interesting themselves
very much in discussing the respective chan
ces of the different aspirants for the Presiden
cy. Like a little boy contemplating the cer
tainty of a whipping, they are all anxiety for
it to be over with. It haunts them night and
day—there is no sleeping for it. Be patient,
gentlemen; the Cincinnati Convention will do
the thing up about right.
The Washington Know Nothing Organ
of the 2d inst., says :—We are authorised to
state that a letter has been received from Mr.
Fillmore by a gentleman in this city, in which
he states that he had not received the official
announcement of his nomination ; but declared
himself at the service of his friends. Ilis for
mal acceptance of the nomination may there
fore be expected in the course of a few days.

body of the notes over the figure and word
seven.- This-bank has-never-issued-an • notes
but those of the denomination of five, six, sev
en, eight and nine dollars.
The Table Morers.—The New York Post
publishes a letter from Baron Humboldt that
satisfactorily disposes of a report that that
distinguished man had become a convert to the
spirft rapping humbug. He says he has "a
holy horror of • ine-wood spiritualism and
psychographic mysticisms."
