The North and the South—The American Order. "It appears, if the ritual of the Third Degree of the American order as recently published by tho opponents of the Order is genuine, that the members solpmnly bind themselves to discountenance oil agitations lending to dissolution of the Union, to sustain tho Union and Constitution in every exigency, and to moke their best efforts to adjusted upon proper and amicable terms all questions dangerous to harmony and perpetuity of tho Confederacy. That the masses of the members of the p*rty will redeem this great and solemn obligation by putting forth their most earnest efforts for the accomplishment of the object proposed, we have not a doubt. They may, by the adoption of this policy, lose no Inconsiderable portion of their number by defection they may even lose two or three entire States or even more but we have the fullest confidence, that, no matter what obstacles they may encounter, their exertions will be crowned with complete success. Though the Order, by the process of nationalization, may Jose some strength, it will gain yet

Horace Greeley, of the N. Y. Tribune, has all along hated the Know Nothings, and for some time, would insist that the Order was pro slavery in its sympathies. Recently, however, he published the proceedings of the State Council of the Massachussetts Know Nothings, and acknowledges opposition to slavery in ihfim. But he still insists that il»e Know Nothings of Virginia are slaveites—and

The clause in the oath published, and represented as part of the obligation in this third degree is as follows "That you do hereby solemnly declare your devotion to the Union of these States that in the discharge of

Now ii is supposed that if there is third degree, and that iho above be a portion of the obligation, it must have reference to the agitation occasioned by slavery and anti-slavery discussions. And thai under ihis third degree tho Order will discountenance the agitation of any question, the discussion of which may •fleet the harmony, or in any way endanger the perpetuity of the Union. It is not at all uunatural that every kind of strange report should be circulated ol" tho Know Nothings, from ihe very reason thai Utile can be certainly known about them. 1 hey must of course be known by their works—and these may not as yet be fully developed.

Latest From California,

The steamor Illinois at New York brings 9] 15,000 in gold and 700 passengers.

The disaster to the steamer Golden Age, Is thus reported by the Purser, Mr. Hull, as follows: On the 29th April, •t two o'clock in the morning, the Gold* en Age struck a rock off the south-west end of the Island, after which she leaked so badly that it was found necessary to run her a&hore, which wan done on a smooth sandy beach. It is expected the steamer will be got off. After a detention of two days, the passengers, mails, and gold were removed to the steamer John L. Stevens, and landed on the second of May at Panama, all safe ^Business in California was very dull, and money matters extremely light, and several mercantile houses had failed. Seven teen vessels, from the Atlantic ports, had reached San Francisco withij} six days The miners were doing well, but owing to the scarcity of coin, very little dust had reached the market. The mint had not yet resumed its operations. The rain had fallen steadily in the valleys for weeks, and on the mountains snow had fallen to a great depth. Tho dull state of busine&s in the leading towns hod induced large numbers of merchants and clerks to work in the mines. The news from the Kern river mines is as contradictory as ever the diggings are not represented as being rich by any means, as was at first reported. The Know Nothings had been successful in the city elections all over the State, ox cept at San Jose, where they were de featcd by the fusion of two other parties, l'ranches of Freedom's Phalanx had been organized in several section of the State. The steamer Surprise and one of the steamers of the California Steam Company were to have a race shortly,

Tilden & Little. The markets were very dull, and many of the leading* articles had largely declined—Mess Pork was dull at Si5.

From our New York Correspondent* NRW YORK, May I4pl

A case oome* up in tho Courts to-day, of more than ordinary interesi—tin mtempt by Miss Bunkley, the escaped "novice," to place an it junction on the issuing by DeWltt & Davenport, leading publishers of this City, of her work entitled "Life in a Nunnery," This suit is of immense pecuniary importance to the publishers, as the book was prepared by Miss Bunkley with the most detailed accuracy. Every fact important or trivial, that came under her observation during her residence in tho convent of St. Joseph, Maryland, from the day fihe entered it until she escaped, is faithfully recorded by her. |Such a book would sell, In these Anti-Catholic times, like hot cakes. If Miss Bunkley succeeds in getting ihe case delayed until after the Virginia election, it will be detrimental to the publishers,

It is of course well understood "fiere that Miss Buukley has been influenced and bribed by the Catholics to disavow the contract made, with her consent, by her agent, Mr. Bealo, the editor of the Daily News, of Norfolk, Va, The Know Nothings affirm that Bishop Hughes closed his controversy with Erastus Brooks so abruptly and disgracefully to himself, for the purpose of devoting nil his energies to the task of suppressing the publication of Miss Bunklny's book. The Jesuits motto "the end justifies the means," has been the watchword of His Grace and his fellows in this affair.— Archbishop Hughes has acquaintances and secret friends in every political and social circle in America, and among all classes of men and women. From three cent rot-gut drinkers who loll round corner groceries to United Stales Senators, from Irish servant girls or hotel waiters, to ladies of fashion and Broadway dandies who have no opparent aim in the world but 10 amuse ihemeslves, there is not a class in which there are not more or less "servants of the Church,'' "soldiers of the Pope," members of the Society of Jesus," who are told that it is their duty, and who believe or profess to believe it, to commit any act that will further the temporal inter ests of the Church, and particularly the sway of the Pope—that an act otherwise wicked and punishable by everlasting hell fire, at once loses its character, and becomes a holy deed, giving the perpetrator of it a tremendous cant heavenward, if done in tho service and in furtherance of the power of

representative on earth.

Robbery at Carrollton, Illinois. A correspondent of the Missouri Republican, writing From Carrollton, Ills., May 13th, says the safe of our "County Clerk, Mr. F. P. Verder, was blown open by inserting powder in the key hole, and three thousand and twenty-five dollars taken therefrom—two thousand one hundred and eighty-five dollars belonging to Mr. Jackson, Sheriff of the county, seven hundred to the estate of John Evans, and about two hundred and sixty dollars to Mr. F.

Miss Bunkley has no doubt been reached through her father, who must have been immensely bribed, as the terms made by his daughter's agent with DeWitt dt Davenport are so liberal, thnt a fortune would havo accrued to her from the sale of her book. It is a very curious coincidence that one of the chief counsellors of Miss Bunkley to disavow her agent's contract is one Solomen Andrews a jnail contractor—a mail contractor mind you the Postmaster-Gen-eral being a Roman Catholic Of course, there is no evidence that Bishop Hughes has seen or written to Postmaster General Campbell, and that that gentleman has selected Mr. Solomen Andrews as his tool to persuade or bribe old Bunkley to stop the publication of the book— but the Know-Nothings say there is a huge probability that this may have been the case. A copy of the book has been stolen from the publishers, as they aver, and been bought by the proprietors of the

from ihe thief.

That paper publishes an entire chapter of the work to-day. It is very interesting. Miss Bunkley is minutely particular in her narrative, und Mr. Beale, who revised her manuscript for the press, has couched the truth in language, as delicate us the subject will allow.

Barnum's projected Baby Show excites unmitigated" disgust here. It is well understood by those conversant with Museum clap trap, that the show babies are to be hired for the occasion. Mrs. E.

The "extreme left" of ihe Anti-Slave-ry party finished up its business yesterday, and adjourned sine die, after having passed a resolution for the destruction of the Union, and a manifesto calling for tho immediate organization of a "Northern Confederacy." The collections taken up were homoeopathically small, notwithstanding the frequent circulation of the hat. A mad woman made her appearance in the conclave yesterday, and expressed a strong desire to have the negroes "elevated"— especially Judge Roosevelt, who, she insisted, was "the greatest nigger God ever made."" From her angry manner, while speaking, it was thought thai she wished him elevated after a method strongly deprecated by the opponents of capital punishment. Garrison was awfully severe and sarcastic on James Gordon Bennott, whom he pronounced a remarkably religious man his piety being like that of an old lady who proy* ed to bo received into the arms of Beelzebub supposing thai personage 10 be one of the patriarchs.

Know Nothings in Court,

The Bucks county (Pa.) Inteiligoncer, of ihe 1st inst., says :-r-Previous to empanneling a jury on Wednesday last to icy certain parties charged with riot »i the township election, in Nnckamixon, in March last, alleged to have originated from an ill-feeling existing between Know Nothings and German Catholics, Hon. Thomas Ross, counsel for the defence, challenged the' array of jurors, owing to the faci of their having been selected by a Know Nothing Sheriff thai as Know Nothings men might not enter the jury box unbiased, where those put upon their defence were Catholics or belonging 19 a different political party. The challenge was atgued at some length by Mr. Ross, in favor of setting aside the array, and by George Lear, Esq., in opposition. Witnesses supposed to be Know Nothings, were called end exam ined, some of them undergoing a thorough cross-examination from Mr. Ross, relative to the secret order of Know Nothings. Some of the questions were overruled by the Court, and it was left discretionary with the witness to answer them. The witnesses called to the stand were Sheriff Fellman, Joshua Siaakhouse, Dr. Samuel Bradshaw and Win. Bache. During the examination of these witnesses, the Court room was densely crowded, and much curiosity was manifested to find out the mysteries of Know Nothingism. Some of the witnesses admitted they belonged to a secret order commonly known as Know Nothings— that they were bound by an oath not to support any Catholics or foreigners for office.

The Court over-ruled the challenge of Mr. Ros*, and after consuming the greater pari of the afternoon, in a fruitless effort to bring to day light the secrets of S.im," the Court proceeded to impannel a jury to try ihe Nockamixon

rioters.

PROPOSED NEW TERRITORY.—A

letter

from New Mexico to the New Orlean Picoyune states that the Legislature of that Territory have some thoughts of memorializing Congress to erect a new Territory out of the southern portion of New Mexico. Tho present Territory is 800 miles long. 650 broad, Bnd is inhabited by 100,000 people. The tract of country newly ocquiredfrom Mexico has given it a comparatively large population in its southern part, and that section is now so far removed from Santa Fe, tho seat of government, and the country is so dangerous and difficul for travelers, that communication is for all ordinary purposes impracticable.— The proposed Territory is to bo called Primerin. It is said to possess vast agricultural and mineral resources, and to be capable of supporting a large population. The letter to the Picayune states that it already contains a larger population than either Oregon, Washington, Minnesota. Kansas, or Nebraska contained when they were erected into Territories,

yEsculapius invented the probe. By means of cether, water can be made to freeze in summer. Augustus Cccsar established lending- houses. Basins were formerly used instead of mirrors. Bladders were used by the Roman* to preserve their hair during the night. Chemical names of metals were first given to the heavenly bodies. There has been an instance of an elephant that walked upon a rope. See Suetonius. Fuller's earth was used by the ancients for washing. The streets of Rome havo no lights, but those placed before tho images of saints. Mahomet IV was very fond of the ranunculus. The duke of Mantua is said to havo had a powder which would convert water instantaneously into ire even in summer. The Greeks and Romans kept servants, whoso duiy it was to announce certain periods of the day.frl Ancient watchmen carried bells. Porus, an Indian king, sent to Augustus, man without arms, who, with his feet, could bend a bow and discharge arrows. ^Fowls are said to thrive near smoke.
