READ TIIE-F-61,LOW1NG Below we give an extract from a letter of .Professor AuousTus B. LoNusruErr, of Mississippi, which we hope will be carefully perused by all. Mr. Longstreet is the President of a University iu Mississippi, and a Methodist divine of great talent and pie ty. lle speaks the language of a Christian ,and a patriot—of uhe who understands the charity and forbearance of the Christian 'system, and the privileges guaranteed to all by the Constitution and laws of the country. Ile is opposed to the dangerous jam" corrupting order of Know-Nothings, and for honestly rebuking an organization whose very existence depends upon the de ceit and falsehood of its Inewbers, Mr. Longstreet is threatened with the loss of his place. But such threats cannot intim idate him iu the discharge of his duty. He says : "in July last, I had just heard of a new organization iu the country—secret iu its movements, and going under the name of Know-Nothings. Its principles I under stood to be opposition to Catholics and for eigners, to be planned in the dark, to be strengthened by oaths, and manifested at the ballot-box. It filled me with alarm. I saw in it the elements of rapid expan sion and itwful explosion. I exhibited them to'the class that graduated that month, and fore-warned them to have nothing to do with it. Had I been inspired, I could hardly have shadoPed its history more ac curately than I did. Of my prediction nothing remains to be fulfilled but the out pouring of more blood. My forecast in re lation to it ought to insure respect for my judgment in and about Oxford at least but it is this very forecast which is raising a buzz of discontent against me in this vi cinity now. This is the sin which brought out against me the recondite presses which I have named above. it is called "dab bling in politics ;" but its true name is "unpalatable truth." This is the sin for which perchance I am soon to be sacrificed. They that stared the prophets of old are still alive, and why should I expect a bet ter fate than theirs Well, Ido not know that a better use could be made of my old carcass than the offering of it on the altar of this .thnerican Baal. An incense might arise from it that would do more to purify the Church and the State from this modern abomination than anything which can emanate from my poor, frost covered brain. The ptiblic has now the sum total of my political sins, public and private. 1 shall speak at large of the new order in an appeal to my church at some future day, if 1 may be allowed so to do. lam commit ted against it, and I shall oppose it forever —not in the class-room but everywhere else ; not as a partizan, but as a- christian. This the patrons of the University should know.. lor all the honors and emoluments of earth I could not be induced to assume a position of neutrality in regard to it. If all experience be not a falsehood, and all history a fable, it will throw this country into ceasless convulsions if it be not crush ed, and that speedily. In my view, every man who has a scru ple's influence should rise against it—no* immediately, ere it be forever too late.— Indeed, it allows no neutrality. With its professed Americanism it assumes an abso lute Dictatorship. It will allow no man to question its purity or its policy. It gath ers within its pale, men of dignity, talent and piety, preachers and teachers, and with them the most depraved, abandoned, des perate, God defying sinners upon earth ; binds them by oaths in bonds of fellowship, and sets them all to work in politics, and nothing but politics. I find a Christian brother among them. I read to him 11 Cor. vi, 14, and so on, and 1 implore him to come out from such connections ; and it addresses me in tones of despotic authority in this wise : , 6 Sir, my name is Politics ; yon,are a clergyman, and clergymen should have nothing to do with politics." "Right," cries my brother, "old man, you'll ruin yourself if you meddle in politics!" I say to him, "your oaths are against the laws of God and your Caireh." Sir," it respond "do you thus denounce the pious of my or der'! Have you no respect - for the church or your place ?" I denounce the sinners of the band and the saints reprove me. I re prove the saints and . the sinners denounce me' The saint shields the sinner, and the sinner the saint. If such a combination is not enough to make the Church and State both shudder, I know not what would. On me the new order bears with intol erable pressure. It rises before me like the ghost of Banquo at my every step in the pathway .of duty. lam a preacher. If I preach upon the sancity of oaths, it regards itself insulted, and attacks me accordingly. If I preach to Christians to come out from the wicked, t insults me for assaulting know nothings. f I preach that the love of Christ is not iounded by State, it charges me with •at ankiug the article of its creed against 'oreigners. I am a teacher. If I teach that un lawful promises are -not binding, I shall be charged with justifying the exposure of know nothing secrets. If I set the lesson to my pupils wherein J. B. Say says that every accession of a man to a country is an accession of treasure, I am to be published to the world as indoctrina ting my pupils in anti-know nothing pol itics. As 1 am ever to be gored by this young mad bull, I liad as .well takeit by the horn at once. Let the order keep its hands off me, the church, and the con stitution, and I will never disturb it; but when it creeps from its den, under the name of politics, with one arm around a Methodist preacher, and the other round the desperate demagogue, and introduces them to um as united by triple oaths in , indissoluble bands of wedlock, I shall not stop to inquire whether its came suits its character, or what the delicacies of my calling demand of me ; but under my Christian impulses of horror, I will pro nounce the union adulterous by the prior espousal of the one, and the utter prosti tution of the other. I will warn the first, by the obuclo of WeAcy, to return to his first love ere his candle-stick be removed out of its place ; and I will warn the other, by the shade of Washington, to repent and return to the principles of that great man, ere he make republicanism a stench in the nostrils of .all true patriots. And it' they heed me not, I will, with God's help, drive them out of the land, though it costs me my life to do it. When it throws its lasso into my lecture room and drags from it to its cave one of Lay foster-chil dren, and there indoctrinate' him in ran dom swearing, disorganizing plots, religious persecution, and shocking ethics, I shall nut stop to consult the dignities of phrase or place, or to segregate its holy from its vile : but In on the instincts of my nature, 1 will cry aloud "Thou double-faced mon ster, spare the young! 1 have taught them frankness, openness, independence of thought and action, modesty, prudence, reverence for age; and courtesy to all. Du not, 1 implore you, substitute for this teaching your cavern tactics, your bandit like oaths, and signs, and grips, and pass 7 words and nonsensical forms. Teach tlmiti not to sunder all other ties front those of know nothings. Throw one sacred ele ment into your einubustable combination that shall prevent it from setting tire to our schools and colleges." Mississippians— fathers—Whig fathers—Know Nothing fathers,—picture to yourselves your son, not yet 'out of his teens, standing amidst a motley group, gathered from every grade of society, with oue hand on the left breast and the other up-bearing the flag of our country, while some wretch, perchance Bonn the sinks of society, fetters him with oaths which are to seal his independence, freedom of speech, freedom of action, and freedom of suffrage forever ! if this does not drive Christians out of the order wel come be they to their religion! if this does not unite every father in solid phalanx against it, let no man covet a place in a .school or college in Mississippi. Yea, ver ily, I am in my "dotage," 1 am a raving madman, or the Church and State are ou the high road to ruin. Such is the order of which I may not speak at all, or only in court phrase! Now, gentlemen Editors, and 'Know Nothings, you have something sensible to harp upon without resorting to rumor. 1 am against you for life. You peck at me as though you supposed it would distress me sorely to lose my place. You are mis taken, sirs ; I was twice on the point of resigning it, but by earnest entreaty was induced to retain it. Be assured, gentle men, after filling five chairs for five years, and performing duties enough to wear out most men in that time, it Will not cost me a sigh to relinquish it. Never will I hold it upon conditidu that I must treat Know Nothingism with respect. Notions, like men, run mad at times, and nothing but time and blood-letting can cure them. Still, while there is hope, all good men should strive to relieve them. My course is taken—carefully, thoughtfully, prayerfully taken. lam no Catholic. Put I'tlethudiBm and Romanism cn the field of fair argument, and I will stake my all upon the issue; but lain not such a coward as to flee the field of honorable warfare for savage ambush fighting, or such a fool as to believe that a man's religion is to be re formed by harassing his person. Nor am quite so blind as not to see that, when the work of crushing churches is begun in the country, it is not going to stop with the overthrow of oue. All Protestantism almost will be against me—two-thirds of my own church, 1 judge, will be against me—the trustees will be alarmed for the interest of the college, my colleagues of the facuhy will be uneasy, my best friends will be pained, but I have an abiding confidence that nothing will be lost by my course in the end. It will be madness iu men to withdraw their sons from the able teaching of my colleagues for my fault—to attack the college to injure me : but these are days of madness, and this is the way in which ob noxious professors are commonly attacked. Be it so. I have done my duty, and I leave the consequences with God. And here 1 sign my name to what I deem the best leg acy that I could leave to my children—a record proof that neither place nor policy, nor temporal interest, nor friendships, nor church, nor threatening storms from every quarter, could move their father for an in stant from principle, nor awe him into si lence when the cause of God and his coun try required him to speak.

" THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE REATEST REWARD."-BUCHANAN LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY - NiRNING, JULY 17, 1855. A CLERGYMAN TURNED SOLDIER Some twenty years ago, a young man, whom I shall name "Jamie," was pastor of a large congregation of the Established Church of Scotland. At school and col lege he was distinguished for his love and learning, and as a minister was unrivalled for his eloquence and mental attainments. fle'had been settled about a year and was upon the eve of being married to a fine young woman, whom he had loved from childhood, when the hei- s itors and several other English gentlemen, who were then on a visit to the North, attended Kirk to hear the famous preacher. He more tha4 verified his fame; he enraptured his audit ence. His story was the theme of his church. its many years of disastrous wars, its martyrs, its heroes, its undying hope, even when despair seemed to shroud it in endless night: its unwearied toils and its final triumphs were each in turn presented to the minds of the hearers, with a power and feeling that defy description. He stood the genius of eloquence personified. But there was one among his hearers who was, not bewildered by its glowing pictures. The gentle-hearted Bella, his betrothed, when the congregation dispersed followed him to the manse. He received her in his study, but while conducti❑g her to a chair, she sank upon the floor and burst into tears. "0 Jamie ! Jamie !" she exclaimed, as he raised her tenderly in his arms, and seated her ou a sofa, "ye hae broken my purr heart !" "How so, my Bella ? explain ?" "Ye were drunk, raving drunk, Jamie, and I wonder the elders did nae tak ye out o' the pulpit ! Ye whined and ranted, and sometimes, God forgie me for saying so, I thought I saw the Evil One standing be side you, laughing and clapping you on the shoulder. My puir brain reeled--I was mad and knew it-1 am mad now—l can na live out this day-1 feel my blood freeze —O, God, be werciful to me a sinner, and and save, my Jamie !" Her head reclined upon his bosom, she gazed upon him a mo ment, and expired in his anus. He had preached his lust sermon. No entreaties of a congregationo loved him I —no flattering offers o(Staki.M preferment, tendered by the gentry, could induce him to resume his labors as minister. Five or six years passed, when the wri- ter of this, who was his schoolfellow, acci dentally wet him in London. Jawie was then one of the principal teachers in a large educational establishment and was highly esteemed for the moral excellence of his character, as well as his varied learn ing and skill as a successful teacher. Ile was dresed in deep mourning, shunned so ciety, and when the labors of the clay closed lie either wandered alone through the streets, or retired to his lodgings. - The scene of Bella's death was ever present to his memory. Her pure soul, he said, saw him as lie was, a poor, vain, 'self-conceited sinner.— For the purpose of concentrating his thoughts and infusing life into his sermons, lie was in the habit of taking a glass of whiskey before entering the pulpit The morning before lie preached the final ser- mon, he felt rather nervous, for he knew there would be strangers to' hear him, and he took nearly two glasses. What he said, or how he conducted himself, no effort of memory could recall—the death of Bella alone had merged into itself the doings of that dreadful day. The compliments which he received sounded in his ears like satire and mbekery, and the very name of liquor impressed him with horror ! He left home and came to London, where he obtained a situation as a teacher; but everything appeared so black to him that he expressed fear lie should, in some un guarded moment, destroy himself. His friend, ho was a sailor, suggested some active employment, that would call into play his physical faculties, and thus give his mind a spell, and ended by offer ing to procure him a place before the mast in a ship. "I like your suggestion," he said; "but dislike the sea." "Then turn soldier and seek employment in India, where there is always plenty of fighting." "I•will," he said, springing from his chair, "when my engagement expires I will pur chase an Ensign commission. I wonder the thought never suggested itself to me, for my ancestors, as far back as I can trace them, were soldiers. Better, far better, die on the field of battle than fall by one's own hand :" We separated. A few weeks since, in running my eye along the list of those who distinguished themselves at the battle of Inkertnan, saw the name of Lieut. Col. A let ter from my friends has since informed me that he had served in India under Lord Gough, and was promoted for his gallant conduct in three campaigns. He was pres ent at the battles of Alma, Balaklava and Inkerman, and accounts state, was in good health, engagiia in the siege of Sebastopol. He was still single ; his " heart was dead to love!"—Boston PRESENCE OF MIND.—A lady was one evening sitting in her drawing room alone, when the only inmate of the house, a brother who had been betraying a tenden dency toi unsoundness of mind, entered with a carving-knife in his hand, and shut ting the door, came up to her and said, "Margaret, an odd idea has occured to me. I wish to paint the head of John the Baptist, and I. think yours might make an excellent study for it. So, if you please, I will cut off your head." The lady looked at her brother's eye, and seeing no token of a jest, concluded that he meant to do as he said. There was an open window and a balcony by her side, with a street in front, but a moment satis fied her that safety did not lie in that way. So, putting on a smiling countenance she said with the greatest apparent cordiality. "That is a strange idea, George ; but would it not be a pity to spoil this pretty new lace tippet I have got? I will just step to my room to put it off, and be with you again in half a minute." Without waiting to give him time to consider, she stepped lightly across the floor, and passed out. In another moment she was safe in her room, whence she easily gave alarm, and returned when the madman was secur ed. The shape of a kiss is said (by the editor of the Louisville Journal) to be eliptical. This must be derived from the sensation one experiences when enjoying the luxury, for it is certainly a-lip-tickle. The imports into New York since Jan uary last, amount to $64,569,702; but in 1854, up to the same time, they were 00,496,908. In the exports of cotton , and breadstutfs this ,year, there has been a falling off of no less than $8,328,762. HOW THEY MAKE GUNPOWDER. A corresfiondent of the New York Tri bune, in a letter from -Wilmington, Dela-1 1 ware, gives the following interesting sketch 1, of the process by which powder is made at] the celebrated mills of Dupont, in that) city : "Of course of the details of the business of Messrs. Dupont, if even known to me, I could not make mention, unless by their ; consent; but the process of manufacture is in reality no secret, every book of chemis try treating of it to some extent. All know that gunpowder is composed of brimstone and charcoal, though but few have any idea of the trouble and labor gone through to have these materials of a proper quality. The saltpetre, as received at the yards, has the appearance of dirty coarse salt, filled with a short fibrous Matter; b; a process of refining two or three. times repeated, it as sumes an appearance somewhat of fine salt, in which state it is fit, for the powder mill. Great care is also taken to have the sulphur pure. But the most labor and forethought seems to be necessary in procuring the char coal, which is all made of the willow and, poplar, the former used for best kinds of powder. For the supplies of their woods the proprietors set out yearly, in every nook and corner, trees which are hewn down every three years, and the branches are converted into charcoal. This method of, procuring the wood, gives a singular ap pearance in the country, for in many places alongside the roads or by the streams, may be 'seen old trunks, standing but little higher than a man's head and topped only with a bunch of branches. I saw some trunks that appeared to be forty years old, without a limb bigger than my wrist. The mill buildings in which the materials are ground or mixed are scattered along the banks of the stream, each containing a mill. They are built of stone on three sides, with heavy walls strengthened with pierS : the other side facing the stream.— The plan of construction is to lessen the damage from explosions, for should an ex plosion take place the force would be di verted towards the stream. The milt con sists of two heavy iron roller:, on wheels moving in a trough. I saw one pair, each, of which weighed 15,000 lbs., about seven tons. The material being well mix ed and pulverised in these mills 18 slightly moistened, when it is pressed into cakes till it becomes almost as hard as plaster of, Paris. These cakes are then broken up; into small pieces, and taken to the gratin lation mill, an operation which, on ac- - count of its danger, I was not permitted; to sde. After granulation, the powder is taken to the glazing mill. Here 600 orb 700 pounds are put into a wooden cask,; revolving moderately fast for twenty-tour; hours, there being six or eight of these casks, and close by each were 700 pounds more, ready for another charge. From: the glazing mill the powder is taken to the dry-house. Here at the time of my, visit were nearly four tons of powder spread ' out on the trays, while near by were two furnaces roaring away at the rate of a ton of coal each in twenty-four hours. Danger: there was not, yet I could not but think, of Sebastopol and the story of its mines.' From the drying houses the powder is taken to the packing house, where it is put, in barrels or canisters, thence taken to magazine, of which there are several, built with the same regard to non-damage in case of explosion as the grinding mills. While standing in one of the packing houses, and just as 1 had given a kick tq a hundred pound keg of powder, intended for his excellency Santa Anna, Mr. Du= pont called to fti man to bring him soind, powder in a scoop shovel; and therein in-, speeted abOut a half peck of powder, des! tined to knock out of this world some any of his said excellency. The uncon-: cern with which this was handed me as though it were but so much wheat, struck me as remarkable. I would not convey this idea, that carelessness is customary or allowed, nor was the incident above men tioned a careless act, its noticable feature arising, rather from the bent of Illy own mind. On the contrary, the greatest care is exercised, the yards and the various buildings being under the direct supervis ion of some of the firm, and to such an ex tent is this supervision carried that one of them visits the yards every night at one o'clock; while the discipline of the hands is more efficient, I have heard said by those who ought to know, than it is in the army or navy. The system of liberal rewards for long and faithful service, and for nets of bravery, in case of danger, has so les sened the liability to accidehts of a dan gerous nature, that the proprietors feel perfectly safe, and a stranger visiting theSe yards feels comparatively so." FAT MAN.—There is something cordial about a fat man. Everybody likes him, and he likes everybody. Your Ishmaelites are, in truth, a bareboned race: a lank tribe they are, skeleton and bile. Food does a fat man good ; it clings to him ; it fructifies on him; he swells nobly out; and fills a generous space io life. lie is a liv ing, minister of gratitude to the earth, and the fullness thereof; an incarnate testimo ny against the vanities of care; a radiant manifestation of the wisdom of good hu mor. A fat man, therefore, almost in vir tue of being a fat man, is, per se, a popu lar man, and commonly he deserves his popularity. In a crowded vehicle, the fat test man will ever be most ready to make room. Indeed he seems to be half sorry for his size, less it be in the way of others; but others would not have him less than he is. for his humanity is usually commensu rate with his bulk. A fat man has abun dance of rich juices. The hinges of his system are well oiled ; the springs of his being are noiseless; and so he goes on his way rejoicing, in full contentment and pla cidity. A fat man feels his position in the world; knows that be has a marked prime in the universe, and that he need take no , extra pains to advertise mankind that he is among them; he knows that he is in mo danger of being overlooked. It does really take a deal of wrong to make one really hate a fat man; as we should be, christian charity should take into account the force of prejudice which we have to overcome against his thinness. A fat man is neatest to that most perfect of figures, a mathe matical sphere; a thin man to that Most limited of conceivable dimensions, a sim ple line. A fat man is a being of harmo niousi volume, and holds a relation to the material universe in every direction; a bin man is nothing but length; a thin man in fact, is but the continuation of a point.— Lecture of Henry,Gdes,. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE—A MON STER WEDDING PARTY.—We yesterday copied an item from the Richmond (Va.) Dispatch of the 29th ult., giving what was supposed to be a fabulous account of a monster wedding which was to come off during the coming month at the St. Nicho las Hotel. But notwithstanding the gen eral incredulity with which the report was received, we learn that it is substantially correct, and that the party will arrive in this city on or about the 12th lust. This will certainly be, the most magnifi cent affair ever gotten up in this country, and will no doubt create an immense ex citement, especially in fashionable circles, during the stay of the party in the city. The bridegroom, who is a Louisiana su gar planter, named Mitchell, and reported to be very wealthy, is now en route for New York, accompanied by two hundred pairs of young ladies and gentlemen, who are to take part in the wedding exercises. On their arrival they are to put up at the St. Nicholas Hotel, the exclusive use of which has been hired for the occasion, for the sum of two thousand dollars per day, the festiv ities to continue four days. The bride is understood to be the daughter of Judge Concklin, formerly Judge of the Northern district of the State of New York, tut more recently appointed Minister to Mexico, and whose successor to the first named post is Judge Hall, formerly Postmaster General. The marriage ceremonies are to take place at the St. Nicholas, and we under stand.that two thousand invitations have already been issued. The religious rites are to be most imposing, and the attending festivities arc to be on a scale of the most profuse magnificence, and will include balls, fancy dress and masquerade, private con certs, and dinners—and suppers the most recherche. • Young New York, male and female, are destined to be in a state of tre mendous excitement shortly. The happy couple will find that the number of their friends will multiply with fearful rapidity, until such time as the wedding festivities are ovcr,,when things will relapse into their former state. Such of our fashionable friends as will not receive an invitation to . the wedding, must endeavor to possess their gotthz with patience, and keep as cool as the weather will permit.—.lll. Y. Her ald. AN ABOLITIONIST CORNERED.—An odl Quaker gentleman from — Pennsylvania re cently visited a relation iu one of our lower counties who bad a hundred slaves on his farm, all of whom had been raised in the family. The Pennsylvanian took several occasions to lecture the Marylander on the impropriety and sinfulness of holding slaves, and urged him to manumit them.— The Marylander finally proposed to his relative to give him every slave he had, provided he would give him security that he would take as good care of them as he did. Of the hundred slaves, he remarked, there are thirty too old to take care of themselves, and of course he could not free them; then -there are thirty more too young to he given their freedom; the other forty he Vept to earn sufficient to support these that are too young and too, old to work. The Pennsylvanian "declined this liberal otter, and his relative closed the conversation by remarking—" Now, my friend, if you and Your Northern sympa thisers with our slaves would only follow Henry Clay's advice to 'mind your own business,' and leave us alone with our slaves, you would do them more service than their masters, for the fact is, my hog s eat up my corn, and my slaves eat up all my hogs." The subject was after that dropped by mutual consent, and the aboli tionist returned home a wiser man than he was when he started on his way to a slave State.—Baltimore American. How TO COOK POTATOES.—Potatoes at this season are very poor eating, unless rightly cooked, and not one in a hundred knows how to do that. Treated as in the fall and winter, they conic upon the table watery, solid, and every way disagreeable. A.Vermont woman, who has suprised ns by making old potatoes as good as now, dry, mealy and fresh, has disclosed to us the process she puts them through to ob tain so desirable a result. The potatoes are pared and put to soak in cold water from four to six hours, then 'dropped into water which is already boiling—an essen tial point, and a little salt added to the water improves them. Take them from the fire the moment they are done; pour off all the water and let them stand uncovered in the kettle over the fire till the water evaporates from the surface, and they are ready for the table. The result will as tonish those who try it for the first time, and they will never return to the old method of boiling them with the skins on. —Springfield Republican. Too ANXIOUS Be-HALF.—An amusing affair happened lately between a coal deal er and a purchaser. The latter was very anxious to see that the former did not cheat him; so he (the purchaser) inspected the weighing of the coal himself, and felt per fectly satisfied that he got his full 'allow ance,.without- any desire on the part of the coal dealer tv "elsvc." florrever, while the coal was weighing, the driver of the team could not help laughing, aware, at the tune, that the purchaser was particular about his full weight of coal. The purcha ser, noticing the laughing of the driver, asked him, when he received his coal, what it was all about so the driver told him : "Why," said he, "when your coal was weighing you ,were standing on the scales, and was weighed with it."
