The following was found on one of the platforms in Independence Square, on Saturday night, after the funeral of SAM had been adjourned, by the rain, and is supposed to have been written by a Warrior poet of the West:

THE ARCHED ROCK OF LAKE SUPERIOR. A correspondent of the Lake Superior Journal furnishes the following description:

The Arched Rock of Lake Superior is a cavern hollowed by the action of the water in the sand-stone rock, resting on a belt of conglomerate. It faces the lake to the north, and presents an arch of singular regularity and great beauty, with abutments, more or less perfect, on either side. The arch does not spring immediately from the water, but stands upon a wall slightly battered from a vertical line. The interior presents a magnificent saloon. It is a powerful cavern for reverberation of 6ound, both from without and within.

Its immense proportions have not been fairly represented by travelers, and the miserable pigeon-hole picture in Foster & Whitney's book conveys no conception of this wonderful recess. The cave is large enough to hold and hide completely a brig with all her sails set and top-gallants flying. By measurements the width at the water line is 144 feet, its depth 210 feet. Its height appears to be equal to its width, but writers who ought to be reliable have made it somewhat less.

A KNOW NOTHING CIRCULAR.—A Maine paper states that a circular, containing the following questions, has been sent to all tho lodges in that State for answer. The leader may here see some of the inside operations of the order, and the dangerous tendency of an organization having such means for co-operation:

What is the number of your council?— When and by whom instructed? How many members, April 1st, 1855? Who is president? Who is secretary? Who are delegates? How often do you meet? Is there harmony in the order? Are you adding to your numbers? Are there members who violate their obligation? Does general interest continue in the order? Have any been expelled? Have any been dismissed? What is the whole number of votes in your town? Are there strong opponents to the order? Please give the names of some of the most prominent and dangerous. Are you in favor of electing State and county officers by the people, as recommended by the legislature? How many foreigners in your town? What proportion are Catholics?— What proportion are naturalized? Do they generally vote? Is there a Catholic priest in your town? Is there a Catholic church? What proportion of your pauper expenses are chargeable to foreigners, directly or indirectly? Is jour postmaster friendly or opposed to the order?

CHICAGO.—The editor of the St. Louis Intelligencer has recently visited Chicago. He says that "one-half of the population is made up of tidy-waiters, runners and beggars, who add more to the wealth of the city than the other half." He further says that "Chicago is a city, bought, built and boarded in by owners who live in the East. It is rented out to sixty or seventy thousand people, on condition that they make the most of it—a condition which all agree to the uttermost complied with.—

The landlords living in New York, the tenants invariably look to the East for improvements, and. for money to make them."

ANOTHER DEOREE NEEDED.—Somebody suggests that the American party, to render it perfect, needs a fourth degree, under which members shall pledge themselves not to seek office. The Boston Atlas is of the opinion that there would not be much knocking at that door. Such a principle incorporated in any party creed, would soon decimate the ranks of the party.

GEORGE LAW FOR PRESIDENT. The New York Herald undertakes to arrange the President a on to 1 8 5 6 or a the three parties concerned. It nominates

George Law and .t pablishes a sketch of

his life, which .t commends to its readers

in the Herald, and we are given to under-,"

written until he has tested his powers speed and endurance '56.

It presents George as the son of a New York farmer in good circumstances and at the age of eighteen, that is, in 1824, he started out "on his own hook," and found employment as hod-carrier in Troy at SI per day. His employer failed just in the right time to cheat him out of all his wages, and he could not pay his board bill. He found work elsewhere, and earned money enough to pay the bill, and walked forty-four miles on foot in a day to pay it. When twenty years old he earned twenty shillings per day, and was learning to build locks and canals. Went to Virginia, took the fe ver and ague, and was sick for some time lost his wages, and had* bad luck generally, as many another "self-made" man has experienced. Nevertheless, by 1830, when he was twenty-four years old, he had accu mulated 82,800, and he immediately bought a gold watch for $300. He was employed for years on the Pennsylvania public works.

In 1837 he went to New York to live, and got contracts on the Croton waterworks and the High bridge, which last great work he completed in 1849. Meantime he had been a director in tfce Dry Dock bank at New York, and had evidently got liberal "accommodations." The Harlen and Mohawk railroads, too, had the benefit of his energy and experience, and he had made monev enough to go into the ocean steamer business just at the time when the lines were coining money between New York and San Francisco. But previous to that time he had improved his leisure hours well in reading his well selected library had visited Europe, traveled through England, France Italy and had become a practical engineer and builder, a thorough lawyer besides. He had made a large fortune by his contracts on public works but his steamships have proved his most profitable undertaking. How much he is now worth his chronicler does not inform us but he can invest half a million any time in any promising enterprise. In ferries, railroads, ships, muskets, city property, and steamer lines he now has wealth invested, and is a millionaire of the first class. He is forty-nine years old hale and hearty and, profitable as all his undertakings usally prove, he is willing to reliquish them all, and retire for four years on the presidency at 825,000 a year.—Pittsburgh Post.

Oty-As an example of the manner in which English editors and members of Parliament treat the Ministry, we reproduce the following paragraph from a late London paper. Mr. MIALL, M. P. in speaking of Sir James Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty, and noted for his breaking open letters, says: "Sir James is deeply stained with every vice of partisanship and bureaucracy—a renegade, a calumniator and a spy—a political bully, a postoffice burglar, a diplomatic bloodhound, the most detested of all public men these many years.— He stands arraigned of abase and brutal attempt to destroy the character of a political opponent, and while appealing to his character alone to rebut the impeachment, he further discredited that tainted witness by the ungraciousness of his compulsory confession," &c.

THE RIFLE PITS AT SEBASTOPOL.—The Sebastopol correspondent of the Baltimore Sun gives the following account of these "pits," of which we have heard a great deal about. He says "They consist of large holes about six feet deep and thirty long, dug into the earth in front and on the sides are breastworks formed of filled gabions and sandbags so arranged as to leave small loopholes for the rifles. In each of these, during the cover of night, parties of twenty and thirty men are stationed, who are selected for the accuracy of their arm in shooting the Minie rifle, which the Russians now generally use. These sharp-shooters, safely concealed behind the breastwork, keep up an incessant fire upon the trenches and batteries of the enemy and no sooner does an unlucky English or French soldier show his head above the parapets, or an artilleryman expose himself through the embrasures than he has a multitude of those disagreeable little hornets in the shape of conicpl pieces of lead buzzing about his ears, one

of which is sure to give a fatal sting as it

passes. Their accuracy of aim and their vigilance are truly supprising."

MARYLAND REPUDIATING

The news of the election of Mr. Wise was received at Leonardtown, Maryland, on Monday night of last week, and seems to have created considerable of a furor in that usually quiet village. The Beacon says: "Bon-fires, ringing of bells, torch-light processions, music, &c., were the order of the night. The exultation on the occasion was unbounded, and participated in by all alike, without distinction of party or creed."

The Beacon also contains the proceedings of two political mass meetings in St. Mary's county—one of the Whig and the other of the Democratic party—from which it appears there is a singular unanimity between them in their opposition to the new party, commonly called "Know-Nothings."

At the Whig meeting Col. James T. Blackiston presided. Messrs. John H. Lothoron, G. C. Morgan, John F. Dent, James R. Hopewell, and Robert Ford, having been appointed a committee for the purpose, reported a series of resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, from which we extract the following: "Resolved, That it would be a. libel on the intelligence, the patriotism, and the honesty of the American people to suppose that a party organized under the sanction of an unholy oath to keep secret its purposes and actions, and based upon the principle of exclusion of any citizen from ofiice on the ground of a particular variety of Christian faith, can be of any other than mere temporary existence, involving essentially the element of its own dissolution and that we, the Whigs of St. Mary's, can feel no sympathy nor hold any affiliation with any such party in any manner whatever.

Resolved, That we, the Whigs of St. Mary's, will ever keep brightly burning, and guard with vestal vigilance, the lamp of universal religious toleration and Christian fellowship that more than two hundred years ago was first lighted up within our limits by our "Pilgrim Fathers," and that we denounce as a traitor to civil duty and social harmony the man who, with sacrilegious breath, would seek to dim one ray of its glorious brightness. 'Resolved, That wc call upon the Whig party throughout the country to organize as heretofore, to disregard all appeals to disband their forces, whether the same come from Know-Nothings, Abolitionists or Democrats, and again unite North and South, for the preservation of the Constitution and the best interests of our common country."

THE CAREER OF A BLACK SCOUNDREL.— The Grand Haven (Michigan) Times, of the 30th of May, gives an account of a most notorious scoundrel living in that vicinity, by the name of Jonathan Turpin. He is a negro, who has seduced no less than three white men's wives. "His first white victim was the wife of W. Clifford, by whom he had a boy who lived to the age of ten months. His next white victim was Madame Victor, a good looking woman, with a dissipated husband, who finally died at Turpin's house. His next victim was the wife of William Haskins, with whom he has been living an adulterous life for some time past. This illicit intercourse so emboldened the black rascal, that he finally resolved to take the life of Haskins, that he might have uuinterrupted intercourse with his wife*" The Times then goes on to state that Haskins went to the home of the negro rascal, whenafightensued, in the course of which the latter stabbed him to the heart. The negro has been arrested, as is now in jail.

O^rCol. Thomas W. Thomas of Elberton, Ga., comes out under his signature and states: "I am told it is susccpiibie of proof in a court of justice that the father oi one of the head Know Nothings in Georgia was

an Irishman and was sold to pay his pass-

gcntiemen

Maryland are repudiating the loathsome contact, and in this respect they are exponents of a respectable portion of those ivith whom they have been all along politically connected. The political character of the State for weal or woe may be determined by their action. Many of these gentlemen have expressed the determination to act hereafter with the only party that now upholds the banner of religious liberty and we sincercly trust that the honest and earnest efforts of such men may not, by artful political appliance and contrivances, be turned from the strong and steady current which beats without ceasing upon scandalous and shameful political delusion.

remove the '"Merlin Rock," lying in the

obstruction to the entrance of the Collins.

When this obstacle is removed it is probable that most of the European steamers will make St. John's a stopping plase, as it lies directly on this route, and about onethird of the distance from New York to Liverpool, so that a steamer from Europe, at St. Johns, Newfoundland, may have her news telegraphed to New York within six days from the date of her departure from Liverpool.

The coast of Newfoundland near the entrance tn St. Johns rises as boldly from the sea as our pallisades do from the Hudson and the harbor is one of the best in the island, being formed between two mountains, the eastern points of which leave an entrance called the narrows, about three hundred yards in width. These mountains arc the first point of land seen in the passage, by the usual route, from Europe to America, and the lofty and almost perpendicular precipices rise to a height of over five hundred feet, on both sides of the entrance to the harbor but the southern shore has rather the greatest altitude, from comparison with the apposite rocks. There is a light shown-^very night on the left side of the entrance where there is also a signal post, whence ships that pass are hailed and signals made to the top of a lofty hill on the right of the entrance, which are thence telegraphed to the city and Government House, giving the name of the vessel, where she is from, and the length of her passage.

LIFE ON BOARD OF A STEAMSHIP.—An American voyager in giving an account to the Boston Times of his trip to Liverpool in the Cunardsteamship Africa, says: "The time at sea passes very heavily, and the least thing on the ocean is an object of interest. Eating is the only thing to break the monotony, and this we do five times each day. We have breakfast at half past eight, lunch' from twelve to one, dinner at four, tea at six, and supper from nine to eleven. Much wine is drunk at sea, and at supper the general cry is "Steward!" "Steward!" and the orders are, "welch rabbit and whisky punch, hot," "anchovy toast and bottle of ale or "two punches and sardines," or "poached eggs and olives," mostalways accompanied with drinks of some kind. After supper there were generally some thirty or forty went on deck to smoke and sing songs. The songs were as various as the countries represented on board, and you may believe they were not few. The Marseilles was sung by the French, "Bonny Doon" by the Scotch, opera airs by the Germans, "God save the Queen" by the English, and the "Star Spangled Banner" and negro melodies by the Americans, in which they were joined in the chorus by nearly all the rest."

MARRIAGE THE NURSERY OF HEAVEN.— The virgin sends prayer to God but she carries but one soul to him. But the state of marriage fills up the members of the elect, and hath in it the labor of love, and the delicacies of friendship, the blessings of society, and union of hearts and hands.— It hath in it more safety than single life it hath more care, it is more merry and more sad, is fuller of sorrow, and fuller of joy it lies under more burdens, but is supported by all the strength of love and charity, which makes those burdens delightful.— Marriage is the mother of tie world, and preserves its kingdoms, fills its cities and churches, and heaven itself, and is that state of good things which God hath designed as the present constitution of the world.

He hoped the gentlemen who had given their votes for this proposition—a proposition would not permit Professor Agassiz, one of the first living scientific men of the age, to fill, under Stato: apointment an office even of a scientific character—would see their error, and retreat at once from a position, justice, reason and religion condemned. What little influence he possessed would be given with a hearty good will to defeat this proposition. He had no sympathy whatever with tho spirit that would send out of the country the sons and daughters of misfortune, who, by the storms of life, were thrown upon us for support." ,,

ANOTHER KNOW-NOTHING CAT LET Outf OF THE BAG.—The Cleveland Plaindealer' of the Oth inst., lets out the following se

crets: "WUAT" "FIDELITY"—THIRD DEOREFI. The above are the "pass words" to the know-nothing State Convention now in session in this city. By means of these our special reporter was enabled yesterday to enter within the "inner temple" and note the doings and sayings of these dark lantern gentry. Wc also have the grip of the "Third Degree," which consists in shaking hands by passing the three first fingers beyond the palm on to the wrist of the brother, then withdrawing the same to the gripping only of the fore finger. The salute of' the Third Degree is to grasp the lappel of your coat with the right hand, clasping only with the thumb and little finger, throwing the three first fingers forward. It i3 answered by the person saluted goijig through the same evolutions with the left hand.

The pass words to this Third Degree are as follows: You rap an alarm at the first door. The door-keeper responds by opening the door or wicket. TThe applicant says "u." the sentry responds "ni." The applicant answers "on," which being produced in full is u-ni-on. The applicant is then admitted into the first room. He then ap-1 proaches the second sentry, gives his namef and council to which he belongs, and in connection with the quarterly pass word gives the word "safe," which makes the '•Union Safe

THE LIQUOR LAW.—The new Liquor LAW went in full force, on Wednesday last. In our County, the law will be most strenuously observed—no liquor will be sold within its confines and for the credit of the Democracy, as we have been branded as the "Whisky party," we hope that no one will attempt to break the law.

Our Commissioners granted no agencies, and we think, that the probability is, that none will be sold in Hancock. If the Democrats are willing to do without the "critter," we can't see why the so called temperance party cannot also. Our party has the name of being the advocate of drunkeness, but still the opposite party are loudly contending with 'petitions and otherwise for agencies. Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel, indeed !—Greenfield Sentinel.

Jack was dressed in an old soldier's red coat, and had a bag of biscuit upon his back, when the General made up at a point of the road where it was very narrow. The General called out, "Soldier, allow me to pass you." Jack—"I am not a soldier." General "Well, sailor." Jack—"I am not a sailor.". General— "Well, then what arc you?" Jack—"Why, a d—d commissariat mule." The General laughed heartily, and gave Jack half a crown.
