The Know Nothings are much displeas ed with the result cf tho Fusion Conven- j tion at Indianapolis, on the first iast. They were sold to th? Abolitionists, without compensation or a promise of any, by Y 01 Sheets, the President of the State Coun - cil. It is well known that he has been an active aspirant for the office of Governor, and when it is known that he was a candidate before the convention for the nomination, the terms of sale are easily comprehended. But as he had proved traitor to his brethren, the Fusions were afraid to trust him; he therefore received no suppo.t in i the Convention, but is now receiving the i maledictions of the 'injured -party." The Vcvav Reveille, an enthusiastic Know Noth- j i ing sheet, gives their President a tickler in I the following manner: . "We were mortified, as were the Americans from all parts of the State, at Indianapolis on Wednesday night last, to hear Wm. Sheets, President of the State Council, declare thnt "the question of human slavery was the great and paramount question before the peoplo of Indiana." This man Sheets has baselv betraved the American party, and we hope the President of the National Council will lose no time inj demanding of him the Charter, together with the boks and documents pertaining to the same. We must and will have a State Council in Indiana that will represent the views of the National American party. "Sheets was a candidate for Governor, and then Lieutenant Governor, and hoped j by double dealing to be nominated; but nei- j ther Americans, Republicans, or Aboli- j tionists were willing to trust him. As a I bite for the Republican support in the convention next day, lie stated in his speech Wednesday night that he was troing to ! bring the great American party of Indiana I to the support of the Republican ticket! j We trust the Ameiican party of Indiana will lid itself of all such political demagogues." "The officiating head (Sheets,) ! of the American party in Indiana is rotten to the core! He has base-' sold us to our enemies, and dare we not resit? Our motto is, "Resixfawe f j tyrants is obedience tv God.9 HencefoiAvard, and forever, we are j Opposed to -fusion" i:i everv form. There j i.? no word m the English lanua more! ouensive to men of principle than the word fusion." " ! The weather ha been very warm and ! t pleasant fr the last f-w days; so much so, that it can easily h ; ascertained that some i fields of Cora will have to b- planted a sec-' ond time. AVe anticipated that this would j be the case, and signified that the farmers' would do well to sprout their seed Corn before planting. Had they done so, they would have saved themselves the time and expense of planting their ground the second time. We call the attention of our readers to ' prospectus of the "Chicago Times," which will be found in another column. The Times is the only Democratic paper in Chicago it battles alone in the "Garden City' for the great Dimocratio principles ivhioh hold this, the best of earthly govrimiw's, from severing to pieces. In view of the spoody completion of the Ft. Wayne r Cr.ieago K. K., and tho brisk trade that has already eprung up between Plymouth and that place, we think many of our !uflueas miii would do well to subscribe for the Times. Marshal Woop i having our streets ideined of lumber, shingles, store boxes, wood piles, wagons aud other things that havo Ion ' needed to be removed. The improvements are perceivable already, and we hope the good work will be continued. 'k'o having sidewalks in need of repair, Ptw those having none, arc requested to read the ordinance in another column. 'i'uesday last, a small child, while playing the saw-logs, in the river close to Messr Wheele' k Logau's sawmill, fell into the water, and but for the presence of me of th work hands, would have drowned. Those little juveniles that are in iu habit of going there to play, are requited io stay away, or e.irly expect an untimely i!euh bv dpovniii'.

We notice that the South Bend Forttm proposes publishing a Daily. If we had not seen the announcement ourself, We should have thought that they meant semimonthly, as the irregularity of half sheets we receive would warrant that conclusion. An ably conducted deniocratio daily in this part of the State, is much needed; but we think the enterprise will not pay at South Bend. The great amount of time, labor and expense attendant upon the publication of a daily, is seldom met with sufficient remuneration to enable the publishers to successfully prosecute their business and make a paper that will prove satisfactory to its patrons; when located in a country town of the populatiou of South Bend.

i If the proprietors receive sufficient encouragement to make a beginning, we j wish that unparalleled success may attend their efforts.

Walker, the DemocraCy 0f Marshall will cheerfully, acquiesce in their decision, and wili give a good account of themselves in October next. Written for the Democrat. THE PRISONER. Some two years ago while Dr. John B. Phillips of Kennett Square Pa., was traveling in Switzerland, he was suddenly arrested and thrown into prison, without the least reason being assigned for so doing. Being confined in a close, damp cell of one of those baronial prisons, and being subjected to all the gross insults and outrages of the officers and soldiers, his sufferings were such, as no language could depict. j On being released, he learned that he had been arrested on the suspicion that he was the Italian Patriot, Massexa, traveling in disguise. o Alone, aud silent, sat the prisoner pale, While weary thoughts his only vigils keep, Xo icrrlly car was iiSh to hear 1i!j wail, No k"n.I!ier voice to sympathize an'l weep. Like felon boun'l, the galling chain he wore Within a foreign prison dark and wild, While cruel soldier guard the iron door, Which shut from Heaven's light her free-born chiM. His fate unknown, and e'en the reason why, lie, thus condemned, must wear those heavy bands, Why doomed, like murderer, in that cell to lie, Since Llood, nor unjust act, e'er stained his hands. What deeds of crime and darkress are not thine? Oh Tyranny! What justice hast thou ever shown To poor humanity? unless of Kingly line, Unless securely mantled by some mitred throne. Thus thou-,lt tlie Granger prisoner as he lay fossed by a fever, which those damps had Lrc-at'icd, 'Terhaps, before me, oft the Patriot's say Within thee wall., kind death, alone, relieved." Tcrhaps, within thia cell, a Tell has lam, While wife aud babes on distant mountains weep, Weep, and for the absent call but call in vain;" .And th'nkinjr t 'iih, he sank in rjuiet sleep. 2Vow, quick as the meteors flah in the sky, New visions of gladness come over his soul To dry up th-i tear-drops that dimmed his d irk eye, And loo?en the fetters, that tyrants control. Now far, far behind him the prison walls lay, And the Soldier's harsh words arc remembered no more, For hi? bark, on the blue wave, is bounding away, Still bearing him on to his own native shore. In the pride of his freedom the pride of his birth Once more he is treading the land of the free, Where the homeless find home?, and the exile of earth, May scorn the base trappings of proud tyranny. On his green native hills stands the home of Iii child-hood, And thither hi footsttp be hastily turn; For o'er the deep rneadowacross the dark wildwood , True hearts of affection in tenderness burn. Oh! wake not the ßleeper disturb not hisdreaniinp. Let visions like incense invitingly rise, But huzza! for our country, where Liberty beaming "The queen of the world und the child of the ekies." ISo foot mark of tyrant hall tarniah our glory, No dungeons and thai us wait for Liberty's Rut i'reed un's broad banners hall publish the frtory. That Tyranny's reign i-forever undone. Iota.

HALL, Democratic Central Committee. May 13, 1C56. Most Extraordinary Preservation of Life. Rescue of the Four Men Buried Alive. Heroism of the Rescuers Immense Crowd of Spectators Wild Enthusiasm of the Reoplc irhcn it icas found the Buried Jfen icerc Alive Fifteen Days without Food. The four miners who were buried alive i;i the coal miu3s bilow Zinesville, Ohio, something more than two weeks since, were reached about one o'clock on Saturday morning last, and taken from their dark prison house. The Statesman gives a very interesting accounted the rescue. We quote as follows: The caving of the coal bank, by which they were shut in, took place two weeks ago last Friday, at about 11 o'clock in the morning. The men had gone into the bank very early in the morning of that day, so that they have been shut out from light and pure air for nearly fifteen days. They had only one dinner, and afier being shut up, found the dinner of another man, who had, with sixteen others, at a great risk, barely escaped the catastrophe. It is not true that they lived on lamp oil. They had but little of it. One of the men swallowed some of the oil to relieve his throat, which had become very sore from drinking the copperas water. So that the marvel remain's of four persons rescued af.er two weeks deprivation of food and water; and not in a very bad condition either ,consideimir. The exci emont consequent on this affair l . . ... 11 T 111 .1 hns been at the Highest pi ten an along the .Muskingum, Irom .anesvnie to luarietta. There has never been less than five hun dred persons on the ground all wrought! up to the most intense agony of excitement. On Sunday last there were over two thousand people at the scene. From every farm house along the road, eager inquiries were put to every returning visi or; and Zanesville has been in an intense fever on the subject. The locality of the accident is on the west side of the Muskingum, in Lluc Hock township, half a mile above what is called Coal Hun. The bank is owned In 3. Guthiio. The mouth of the bank is but a itw feet from the liver, and some twelve feel above the ordinary stage of the river. The bank opens into a hill that is some three hundred feet high; and when the bank gave way, the caving extended into the hill about the same distance; so that when the work of rescue began, tlio men were a hundred yards from sunlight in every direction! The cause of caving was the unskillful manner in which the bank was worked. Instead of working the vein, which was a four and a half feet vein, to the ordinary width of about twelve feet, and leaving at short intervals pillars of ten feet square to support the superincumbent mass of rock and earth there were lirge rooms made and few pillars left, and those small; so that when the crash came, which it did with a report that sounded to the men like thunder it fairly pulverised the pillars and crushed into fragments the rocks above. Upon the top of tlia hill there were found crevices wide enough f r a man's leg and perceptibly extending twenty or thirty foet down. 1'crhaps these crevices supplied the men with pure air and thus enabled them to support themselves with comparative ease. Again, the caving began at the mouth and ran inwards, shutting in, perhaps compressing, the air. There was considerable room for the men to exercise in, notwithstanding the extent of the caving. The persons who were thus entombed, are named Kdgin, Savage, Parsons, Getwood. Parsons is an old man, and Savage a boy about eighteen years old. The old man sutlered the most and the boy least from exhuastion. Edgin and Parsons had families who were constantly present under an almost insane agony of mind. The work of rescue was a herculean work, but bravclv undertaken and heroically consummated. It was more difficult as but eight men could work at a time. There were eighty men constantly laboring tUyand night relieving each other in gangs. The progress was slow, and become slower the farther they went into the bank; so that since Sabbath last not more than n foot ,in hour has been realized. And thii progress w;a interrupted by the rock falling in, and by the impure air which put out the lights. THK RESCUE. Let it be known that those heroic workmen were in constant peril of their lives in all the fortnight's work. Of cmrs they had propped up with timber as they worked in; but at times the timber bent like a reed under the immense pressure, and, at times, gave way. '1 be fragmentary condi tion of the rucks prevented tlio workmen from inakinir themselves secure. They could not work without light, and when, on Sunday, they had cut in (23b f et, and wore about to despair, owing to the had atmosphere and the counsels of some who thought it too late to save the men -they took new vigor and new hope, aud still pressed on until Friday; when the attention of the workmen was arrested by the knocking within. They paused ar.d halloed; again and again halloed, when the voices of the entombed were heard faintlv in reiponeiv Hurrah!

The crowd without, on the river bank, soon caught the cheering news, and "Hur

rah! Hurrah!" rent the air with such iov! efore awoke the echoes of that 1 jeauutui vaney. 1 ne scene uim was mo:t 1 , ... 1 ... oriirines Some capered and cavorted like dancing Dervishes in their inspiration! It was a rare scene, and not discreditable to fallen human nature. The next thing in order was to hold a conversation with the entombed. The first i intelligible ques:bn propounded by the insiders wa: "Was anybody killed by the cavinir?" "None," said the workmen. "Hurrah! hurrah!" was heard from within. Th's jubilee of the entombed was reported outside to the crowd, who responded to it by a spontaneous hurrah of their own. It seemed that the men had picked their way some twenty feet within the rocky fissure, and were enabled to converse pretty freely. The workmen warned tbcm to retire within, as they were in imminent danger. Edgin said he would not budge till they had told him what was the day and hour,and how long they had been shut in. The workmen fold him that he had only been in a week; that it was Friday deceiving him, as they supposed for his own good, and that of his companions. Edgin then told them to say to their families and friends that if they didn't get out, they weic readj to die happily, having made their peace with God. Edgin then reüred, exclaiming to the workmen most cheerfully. "We'll go in! Work on my boys! May God bless you!" This dialogue gave new hope to the workmen; and they labored until the bad air put out the lights again, when the work was suspended for four hours, until they sent to Zanesville for some hose, a bellows and some pipe, by which they sent some fresh air in; and the lights were resumed, and the work went on until Friday night, when it

Their families were not permitted immediately to meet them. Physicians Avere present to look after their well being, and everything done to make sure of the results of the long labor, viz., the preservation of their lives. Parsons, the older man, had a fluttering at the heart; the others seemed to be "as well as could be expected." The boy, Savage, made inquiry the lirst thing, after a "chew of tobacco;" the rest, after their families and friends. They had taken some sleep on sonic dry dirt which they had piled up for that purpose; but had no ilea of the time that had elapsed. Notwithstanding these men were thus imbedded iu the earth, perhaps their preservatian from death hunger was prevented by that very fact. In English mines, men have lived even sixteen days without food The very want ot light and free circulation of air, the moisture of their tomb, together with the lack of oxygen to can y off the particles eliminated from the body, may have had some effect in preventing that exhaustion which has accompanied hunger in the open air, in arid plains, or on the salt ocean. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. PROCLAMATION OF PEACE. ADVANCE IN BRKADSTUFFS. New York, May 12. The steamer Atlantic, from Liverpool, has arrived, with Liverpool dtes to the 30th ult. The Asia arrived out on Monday. The principal feature of the news is the official publication of the treaty of Peace, and the formal proclamation of peace. The appended conventions are also provided for. The first has reference to the passage of the Dardanelles; the second is for arranging the details of luval force in the Black Sea; and the third declares that the Aahtnd Isles are not to be fortified. There is also an important declaration of maritime law, viz: abolishing privateering, and providing that neutral Hags shall protect all cargoes except contraband articles, with the addition that neutral goods, under the eLomy's flag, are exempt from eaptuie. The Treaty itself is precisely the same as sent by tho last steamer. The following is the substance of the missing articles of the Treaty of Peace: Art. 5 grants a full and entire amnesty to those subjects who may have been compromised by any participation whatsoever in the events of the war in favor of the enemy, and it is especially understood that sueh amnesty shall extend to the subjects of each of the belligerent parties who may have entered during the war to bo employed in the service of one or the other belligerents. 6. Prisoners of war shall bo immediately given up on either side. 7. Declares the Sublime Porte admitted lo participate in the advantages of the public law a ale ill of Elllope. Their Majesties engage each on his own part to respect the independence and territorial integrity ot the Ottoman Empire, and guarantee in commerce a s1 riet observance of that engagement, and will in eonsequence consider any act tending to its violation as a question of general interest. 0. If there should arise between the Sublime Porto and any other signing power, misunderstanding which might endanger the maintenance of these relatives, the Sublime Porte and each of buch powers, before having recourse to the use of force shall afford the other contracting parties an opportunity of preventing such an extremity by means of their mediation. 'Tl... fi.1h.Mimr .additional artielo has been rendered imperative by Urn now-shy f.,r rXin transports f the evacn,tif,n of - - - the enemies, but was evidently an after thought consequent upon a suddenly suggested idea: The stipulation of tho Convention respecting the.

Ho! ron Salt Lake. Monday morning six hundred Mormons passed through the City of Dcavenport on their way Irom Old England to Salt Lake, the city of the iJormons, and those are said to be the beginning of the end. Immigration to our country, as a general thing, we hail with delight, but the tide of Mormons which is rolling in upon us, with its blindness and bigotry, and manners and customs opposed to the spirit and genius of our instuutionsaugurs no good to our common country. Ihe teachings and the practices of Mor-j monism are at variance with the spirit and letter of many of our laws, and is it right to set quietly by and allow a system to grow and gather straight amongst us, Ahich at some day not very fir dis.ant, may give us trouble of a very serious character. Tent. Organ, Deavcnport, Ioua, A ClIASE AFTER ANT UNCHASTE WlFE. A few days since, the Chronidc says, a person named Canfield arrived in this city in pursuit of his wife, who had eloped from his home iu Fremont, Ohio, in com pany with a m.in named Lorenzo D. Parker. By the help of constable Pierce, of this citv. the husband traced the seducer, tr - 1 1 a A. 1 .1 a. 1 on öaturuay last, to tne eabiern uepot, anu after Diocu in" a dis-'uise. started for Saauci pio.u in uisgujsr, Bwiau wi lern in a chaise. At that city the man was found, and the wife was seen in his company to enter the Marblehead train. The pursuing party also stepped on board, and so completely was the luiiband disguised, that the two parties fell into conversation on the way. Arrived at Marblehead, all hands put up at the same hotel, and dined and supped together. In the evening constable Pierce procured the assistance of a Marblehead officer, and at eleven o'clock the whole three made up a little 'surprise pany and visited the guilty pair in their chamber. The apparition was so sudden and unexpected that the man fainted away, but the woman contented herself with violent screams. Mr Canlield regained possession of his child, a boy of ten years, and with him returned to Ohio, leaving the woman to follow out her 'free love' doctrine with her paramour, when he gets out of Salem jail, where ho at present resides. Boston Times. Curious Instinct of Plants. Hoarc, in his treatise on the vine, gives a striking exemplication of the instinct of plants. A bone was placed in the strong, but dry clay of a vine border. The vine sent out a leading, or tap root, directly through the cwy uo in . pgo "m.Sn ' ?t" Ä clay to tho bone. Jn its passage through but when it reached the bone, it entirely covered it, by degrees, with the most delicate and minute fibres, like lace, each one sucking at a pore in the bone. On this luscious morsel of a marrow bone isould tho vine continue to feed as long as any nutriment remained to be extracted.

The Senate, on the Gdi instant, passed a bill making an appropriation of 25,000 for the construction of a harbor at the mouth of the Ontonagon river,- on Lake Superior, to be expended under the direction of the War Department. The Secretary of War is to let the contract for the construction of this harbor s harbor to such person or persons i n .l-i 1 1 :,i shall think proper, who will agree , . r .1 . i nplete it for the amountappropnaied, as he lo complete it lor the amount appropna with such sureties, and according to such plan, as shall be approved by him.

It seems to us that Mr. Wellor rightly conceived the relation of tho democratic party to these improvements. He remarked in reply to objections of Southern Senators to the bill, that it is admitted that Congress has the power, which it often exercises, of appropriating millions of dollars every year for the pupose of building up and maintaining a navy on the ocean, to protect our commerce, an 1 defend our coast in the event of war: and vet it is said that Congress have not the power to appropi iate a dollar for the construction or improve - ment of a harbor to protect that navy from the storms and winds of heaven.

"And coming more directly to the point, Mr. Weiler proceeded: ov, .Mr. President, who will determine what are the principles of the democratic party?
