Know-Nothing Resolves.
The Pittsburgh Gazelle, the venerable orga n
of Allegheny county, anti -Masotti y, W piggery,
Free-Soilism, &c., gives the following as the
substance of the resolutions of the Know-No
things of that county. What is true of the
conspirators in Allegheny is equally true of
them in every other county in the State—in
deed, wherever the dark-lantern putty may
be found. Office— OFFICE—OFFICE, is their
object—and their inordinate desire to obtain
the spoils .is the principal chain that holds
them together :—Pairiot.
"Resolved, That we must carry this county
—at some rate.
'•Resolved. That we are not able to do it
without. help from outsiders.
' , Reßaked, That the county offices are worth
something, and we want them—we must have
them.
'4/Mw/tied, That in order to carry these of
fices, or make a respechtble show in tbe coun
ty, the organs must play fair Free• Soil and
Temperance tunes from this forward.
*.Regolaert, That - plantations -and - 'Diggers'
are well enough, but if.we can't get thew, we
will rant on the Free-Soil question, and take
the county offices—if we can.
“Rtstilved, That we must have office--that
is what we got up the party for.”

Tlie delegates from the Know-Nothing lodges
in Diiiphin county met in Harrisburg, on last
Thursday, the votes for the various candidates
were counted, and the ticket announced. But
the means resorted to for the purpose of effec
ting the nomination of some of the aspirants
for office, had been so rascally, that a regular
stampede was the result. The following pro
test was prepared and signed by ten of the
delegates.
WHEREAS. This committee at its session on
the third of August, decided that no voting
should be done by party. or enclosing the Gal
lot, in the- selection of candidates.
Therefore the undersigned do solemnly pro
test against the action of the districts, thus
voting, as illegal and not binding on the mem
bers of the organizay i n: and declare them
selves free and indepe dent to act as they
please in the coming campaign, and zequest
that, this protest be entered on the minutes of
this convention.
Such waS the dissatisfaction - among the bre
thren ofethe order, that the successful were
compelled to abandon their-wish to-hold a rati
ficatiatimeeting in the evenin n•• • itn
ber - orthe Y members avowed, publicly, their
determination to withdraw from the order.
They acknowledged that they had been de
ceived, and resolved, never again, to be found
acting in such company. That the Cayennes
of Dauphin county are completely disorganiz
ed, there can be no question. This was their
first, and we predict will be their last conven
tion in the county. Sic transit gloria Sarni.—
[Harrisburg Patriot.
11 - The career of the Know-Notblngs, it is
not difficult to foresee, 3S destined to be as
shot-Cos it is shameful. Having not the slight
est foundation in principle,—held 'together by
no more reliable tie than "the cohesive power
of public plunder," they can only live by "vic
tories," and must die with the fir3t blow of de
feat. Like other predatory bands, they will
cease to exist, in an organized body, the mo
ment the object of the association fails by a
failure of spoils. The several stages in the
decay of the "American" - party will be found
in the end to compare with the grammatical
degrees of comparison, thus :—Positive, know
nothing ; comparative, get nothing ; superla
tive, be nothing.- Reading Gazelle.
Tits. Goon THE K. N's. HAVE Down.—The
Milledgeville, (Ga.) Union thanks the Know-
Nothings for one thing :
..They have done great harm. They have
sown seeds which we fear will bring ruin on
the Land, notwithstanding their complete over
throw in the country. But one good result
has followed this organization. They have
!miffed the Democratic party of its corrupting
elements. Most of the office seekers. from the
highest to the lowest, from the candidate for
Gioveiaor to the candidate for Constable, flock
cl to the standard of Know-Nothingism, when
it was thought to be invincible. This bad influ
ence has been , carried away from the Democra
tic party. Never was the Democratic party so
pure as at this moment. For the agency the
Know-Nothings have had in bringing about
this 'good time,' we thank them. For all else,
we condemn them."
A BOSTON "FREE{ AND EASY."-A corres
pondent of a religious paper says that at Theo

We think of the lofty heroism, the brave en

A good joke is-told- at the expense,of one of
our church-going citizens, who is the father of
an interesting family numbering four-or five
children, the youngest of whom has seen some

unanimously voted the drollest little mischief
alive.

keep peace and . retire to bed an hour earlier
than usual, with the promise that on the mon.

to put the youngiter through the regular course

intim JACKSON, in the January number of
Harper's magte.ne. Among other anecdotes
is the following. which we do not remember to
have met with before : While he was connect

him that some of the soldiers were making a

reply. "And is TTIAT 3 clime I" asked JACK..

officer said, "ordered Punishment for.any un

SON, with much feeling, "that praying should
be an unusual noise in any camp," and ad

THE VALUE OF THE UNION.-Mr. Benton con
cludes one of the chapters of the forthcoming
second volume of his Thirty Years View on the
causes of the present discontent in the South
with the following remarks :
•'Separation is no remedy for these evils, but
the parent of far
, greater than just discontent
or restless ;unbitten would fly from. To the
South the Union is a political blessing ; to the
North it is both a political, And, a pecuniary
blessing ; to both it should be a social blessing.
Both sections should cherish it, and the North
most. The story of the boy that killed the
goose that laid the golden egg every day, that
he might get all the eggs at once, was a fable:
but the Norther n man who could promote sep
aration by any course of wrong to the South,
would convert that fable into history—his own
history—and commit a folly, in a mere profit
and loss point of-view, of which there is no pre
cedent except in fable."
ANTIDOTE TO HIDROPUODIA.—Dr.'Youatt, of
England, in cases of persons bit by mad dogs.
has healed more than four hundred cases by
the use of muriate of silver, and not one had
any symptoms of hydrophobia. A - writer in
the New York 7 riburie states that lobelia and
steam have cured several cases of hydrophobia.

GETTYSBURG, PA.: MONDAY, SEPT. 40, 1555.
The Newfoundland Dog's Vengeance.
-The American brig Cecilia, Captain Sy mmes,
on one of her- voysges, had on board a beauti
ful specimen of the Newfoundland breed. named
Napoleon, and his magnificent size and prover
tionm,_his intelligent head. broad white chest,
white feet and white tipped tail; the rest of his
glossy body being black, - made him as beau
tiful as his peerless nimesa - ke, who, no doubt,
would have been proud to possess him. -
Tie was owned by a 'seamen named Lancas
ter, who was naturally enough extremely fond
of him.
CaptainSymmen, however, was not partial
to animals of any kind, and had an unaccount
able and especial .repugnance to dogs. so much
so indeed, as if all his ancestors had died of
hydrophobia, and he dreaded to be bitten like
his unfortunate predecessors.
This dislike he one day deielopti in the
most shocking manner, for as Napoleon had
se.. • al times entered his room and by wagging
hi' great banner of a tail, knocked paper and
ink off his desk, on the next occasion the Cap.
min seized a knife, and cut ,half of the poor an
imal's tail off
The dog's yell brought his master .to the
spot, and seeing. the calamity; and the author
of it, without a inomeneohesitation he filled
Captain Symmes to the cabin' tkpr with a
sledge hammer blow, which had it hit the tem
ple, would forever prevented the captain from
cutting off any more dog's tails.
The result was that Lancaster was put in
irons. from which, however, he was soon re
leased. Captain Symms partly repented his
cruel deed, on learning that Napoleon had
once saved the owner's life.
The white shark, as all my nautical friends
are aware, is one uf the very largest of sharks.
It averages over twenty, and have seen one
twenty-seven and a half feet in length. It is
generali t y considered to be the fiercest and
most formidable of all_sharks.
But a few• days elapsed aver the catastrophe
of poor Napoleon ere he became the hero a
most thrilling ticcurrence; the very thought of
which has often thrilled me with : - torror. . Du
ring the interval the noble beast was not at
all backward in exhibiting his wrath at the
captain by low growls when he approached.
In vain did his toaster, fearful for the itfe of
his dog, essay to check these signs of his anger.
Captain Symmes. however. made all the al
loa•nnce he should, and offered no further harm
to him.
One morning as the captain was standing
on the bowsprit, he lost his footing and fell
overboard, the Cecilia rtlen running about ten
knots.
"flan overboard ! Captain
. .Syntme% - ovei
board !" was the cry, ono
- all rushed to get
out the boat as they saw the syrinnlier strik
ing out for the brig, which was rounded to ;
and es they felt especially apprehensive on
account of the white sharks in those waters,
they regarded his situation with the most
painful solicitude.
By the time -the_ boat touched the water
their worst fears were realized,' for at some dis
tance beyond the swimmer, they beheld ad
vancing upon him the fish most dreaded in
those waters.
"Hurry. hurry! men, or we shall be ton
late," exclaimed the mate. '•What's that?"
The plash which caused this inquiry was
occasioned by the plunge of Napolean into the
sea. the noble animal having been watching
the cause of the, tutnult from the bows of the
ve , isel. :Ile had noticed the captain's fall and
the shout,,and_lo3. a few moments dve tut:
his feelings in deep growls, as if conscious of
the peril of his late enemy and gratified at it.
His growls,, however, were soon changed
into those whines of . sympathy which so ofttin
show the attachment, of dog to man, when the
latter is in danger. At last he plunged in,
and rapidly making his way to the now nearly
exhausted captain, who, awnre of his double
danger, and being but a pa.isable swimmer,
made fainter and fainter strokes, while his ad
versary closed rapidly upon him.
"Pull, boys, for dear life !" was the shoutof
the mate as the boat now followed the dog:
bim gallantly t,.)
whose huge limbs prope
the scene of danger.
Slowly the fatigued swimmer tnade his way,
while ever and anon his head sank in the
waves, and behind him the back of the vora
cious anittit feat ful progress he was
making, while -Lancasterl in the bow of the
boat, stood with a knife in hfzi upraised hand,
watching alternately the captain and his pur
suer, and the faithful animal who bad saved
his own life.
"Great God ! what a swimmer !" exclaimed
the - mer. who marked the speed of the splen
did animal. "The shark will have one or both
if we don't do our best."
The scene was of short duration. Ere the
boat could overtake the dog. the enormous
shark at rived within three oar's length of the
captain and suddenly turned over on his back.
preparatory to darting on the sinking man,
and receiving him in his vast jaws, which now
displayed. their tows of long triangular teeth.
The wild shriek of the captain announced
that the crisis had come. But Nnpoleun. who
seemed to be inspired with increased strength.
had also strived, and with a fierce howl leaped
upon the gleaming belly of the shark, and
buried his teeth in the monster's flesh, while
the boat swittly neared them.
"Saved ! if we're half as smart as that dog
is !"cried the mate, as all saw the voracious
monster shudder on the sea, and smarting with
pain, turn over again, the dog retaining his
hold and becoming submerged in the water.
At this juncture the boat arrived, and Lan
caster, with his knife in his teeth, plunged into
the water, where - the captain had also sunk
from view.
But a few moments elapsed ere the dog rose
to the surface, and soon after, Lancaster, with
the insensible form of the captain.
"Pull them in and give me an oar!" cried
he — m ate - , -- " for — that -- fel to w — is 'preps' ing fur
another launch."
His orders were obeyed, and the second on
set of the marine ruonhter was followed by the
mate's splashing water in his eyes. as he came
again, and but a few seconds tooiate to snap
off the captain's legs, while - his body was
drawn into the boat.
Foiled, a second time, the shark passed the
boat, plunged and was seen no more, but left

•Two Americans, on Wednesday morning,
wishing to stcure s free patiage from London
to Niagara, received a small bounty, and en.
listed to serve in the Foreign Legion. They
were furnished with free tickets through to
Niagara, and immediately left on the cars for
that place ; but the recruiting officer, bearing
of their intention to stop at Paris. fake the
'Buffalo and Brantfort railway, and get their
passage free to the land of liberty, gave notice
to die conductor by telegraph to keep an eye
on the gentlemen. When at Paris they at

arrested and caviled on. Probably they will
see Sebastopol before they return. They were
respectable in appe.krance, but carried the joke
