The Know-No thing National Council. The grand council of the above order is now in session, in Philadelphia, J. W. Barker, of Now York, presiding. Nearly every State is represented.

There are indications of a rather stormy time, as the slavery question lias been unwisely agitated, and the sasfcion will probably last until the middlo of this week.

Quite a largo number of distinguished men—Editors and Politicians are present, among whom aro the fcfllownig:

Of tho politicians gathered here by this interesting occasion, your correspondent "spots" Prentice of tho Louisville "Journal Ridgway of the Richmond "Whig Neil S. Brown, of Tennessee Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio Schuylor Colfax, of Indiana Judge Hopkins, of Alabama Albert Pike, of Arkansas A. D.

Among the late arrivals aro George M. Sanders, the leader of the interests of George Law Hammond, of the "Albany Register James Brooks, of the N. Y. "Express and Mr. Sheart, of the "Mirror."

Another enflamatory speech was made by Mr. Bowlin ofVa,, denouncing Massachusetts and charging upon that State the defeat of the K. N's. in Ya. Gen. Wihon replied, vindicating the action of Massachusetts, and pledged that State for the "Union."

More Troops for the Clay Co. War. We are indebted to Mr. Cornwell.mail agent on the Evansville and Craw fordsville Railroad, for the following item, which will be interesting to our readers

A large meeting, without previous notice was held by the citizens of Evansville, on Monday evening, in answer to a call from Gov. Wright, for a detachment of volunteers, from that city to aid in quelling the riotous proceedings at the Reservoir in Clay Co. A company of 60 noble looking men, comprising many of the first citizens of that place volunteered, and was carricd to tho nearest point to the Reservoir, by yesterday's train, from Evansville. Several Doctors, Lawyers, and merchants were among the number, also an associate Editor of each of tho city papers, Mr. Robisonof tho Enquirer, and Mr. Kinison of the Journal. This will make the number of troops at tho seat of war 110, sufficient wo hope to suppress the outlaws of that vicinity.

A voice has come up from tho four quarters of tho State, that has caused the knees of the bravadoes, to,knock together in fear, and they are beginning to discover that they are not the only ones interested in the existence of the Canal.

The Birch Greek Reservoir Again. Some one writing to the Indianapolis Journal, from Clay Co., over the signature J. R. K., makes a feeble attempt to justify the recent outrages at the Birch Creek Reservoir. He complains that the usual lenity manifested towards criminals, is not extended towards Clay Co., that is to say a suspension of judgement until facts can be shown comparing evidence and charges all the blame upon the T. II. American, an article which appeared in the Daily American, just after the first cutting of the Reservoir this season.

The article in question, was from the pen of one whom we supposed to be well posted on the subject. But to ask a suspension of public opinion, at this late day is beyond all conception, tho most brazen faced impudence we ever witnossed.

The Journal reviews the argument of Mr. J. R. K., at length, and show their utter absurdity.« fn

But how contemptible after haying placed themselves in open defiance of law and common decency. Having been guilty of almost every crime in the calander, even murder itself it is believed, driving families from their beds, and burning their houses, and threatening the life of the Chief Magistrate of tho State, and ottering a reward for his head after all this, we say, to ask for a suspension of public judgement, is an insult to the common sense of community. The fact is, these outlaws are beginning to feel that justice will overtake them, and they now begin to beg for that mercy they have denied to others.

If public opinion has been led astray by false statements, why not contradict these statements when they firstappear-
