Know Sftthln Preachers. It is an undeniable fact that some minis ters of the Gospel (?) have connected them selves with the K. A. Order, buch men must isiere Koya tfct (ill jnnfiHonf'P in God and 1118 Vord come tome coTfctus greater than the Creator, and man's devices more potent than the revelations of Heaven; they must be persuaded that the plotting of men in secret conclave, at the still hour of night, is better calculated to promote the welfare of religion than the inspired teachings of Gospel light. The controlling cause with these men mast have been either political or sectarian. If political considerations influenced them, then do they place their thoughts and affections upon temporal more than upon spiritual mat ters, and are consequently unworthy of the high trust committed to them. That minister who publicly writes or speaks in favor of any j political partv degrades his sacred calling and lessens his influence over the souls of which he must give an account. It is probably more charitable to conclude that they have beeu governed by sectarian considerations, rather than political ones; for the former may be attributed to the head rather than to the heart- to prejudice rather than to understanding, and to a blind zeal rather than to a well considered purpose. If Iloman Catholicism be, as we believe it is, wrong in many respects, let us fight it with gospel truth; and if this does not put it down if this'weapon of the Almighty fails then it is vain to resort to human weapons, and espe cially those manufactured in darkness and at an hour when good Christians .should be asleep. Or if duty prompted to wakefulness, would it not be better to pore over the Bible and the writings of great, good and learned men, from which to cull arrows of truth for the overthrow of Romanism? If Protestantism be not on a basis that will support it without resorting to human devices, hatched in secret political meetings, then let it fall. If it be not a," ram part that can be successfully defended with the weapons of light and truth, let it be surren dered. Men who fly to Know Nothingisui for its protection have not the confidence in it they should have, and put not that trust in God and his promises which is requisite to constitute a good Christian. All persecutions are born in weakness. The lack of confidence in the recti tnde of our own opinions begets within us a desire to sustain them by f jrec. When we are conscious of the truth and soundness of our be lief, we fear no assaults upon it, for we know it cannot be overturned. Good Protestants, then, should have no fear of Romanism: for God has promised his aid in a contest between truth and error. Standard. Interesting Statistics ok Krsst.v. The fol lowing facts are taken from the Journal of the Statistical Society, and from an abstract of the return of the publication of marriages, births and deaths iu the principal provinces of the Russian empire in 1842 procured from Count Xesselrode by Lord Stuart de Rothesay, at the instance of Lord Aberdeen, and com municated to the Statistical Society by Major Graham, the Registrar General, in 1844 : The Russian frontier has been advanced to wards Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Vienna and Paris, about 700 miles; towards Constanti nople, 500; towards Stockholm 530 miles, and towards Teheran 1000 miles. The acquisitions of Russia from Sweden equal the remainder of Sweden; those from Poland equal the Austrian empire; those from European Turkey equal Prussia, exclusive of the Rhenish provinces; those from Asiatic Turkey equal ihe Uerman small States, Rhenish Prussia, Holland and Belgium; those from Persia equal England; those from Tartar equal European Turkey, Greece, Italy and Spain. The total acquisi tions in Russia iu G4 years equal her whole European empire before that time. In 1689, at the accession of Peter I , Russia had 15,000, 000 inhabitants; in 1702, at the accession of Catherine II., she had 36,000,000; in 1825, at the death of Alexander, she had 58,000,000; in 1842 at the reign of Nicholas she had 00, 000,000. In 1842, the returns had not been received from Georgia, Konrsk, the Trans-Caucasian, or the Caspian provinces; nor are Finland, l'oland, the JJon Cossacks, the Cossacks in the country of the Black Sea and of the Uural, the provinces of Yachutsk, Kamschatka, Ok hotsk, or Russian America, included in the Return. According to the last census the females preponderated over the males, but not nearly to the extent they do in England. The births were 4.45 per cent., the deaths 3.75 per cent., the excess of the former indicating an increase of 7 in 1,000 annually. In Russia, 1 iu 99 persons married annually, in England, 7 in 128. The mortality in Russia was 1 in 27; in England, 1 in 45 annually. The area of the Russian empire was estimated at 7,60V 000 square miles, or 85 times the extent of Great Britain. The mortality was least iu the north and northwest provinces, and greatest in the southern; in the latter, the mortality was live times greater than iu the former. Fish as Voon. There is much nourishment in , nsh, little les3 than in butcher's meat weight for weight ; and in effect it ma v be more nourish- jllfft considering how, from its softer fibre fish i js more easily digested. Moreover there'is I j am, in fish --in sea-fish a substance which does uot cxist j tie flesh of Jand-animals viz- ! iodine a substance which mav ha ve a beneficial ; effL.ct on the health, and tend to prevent the production of scrofulous and tubercular disease, the latter in the form of pulmonary consumption, one of the most cruel and fatal with which civilized society, and the highly educated and refined, are afliicted. Comparative trials prove that in the majority of fish the proportion of solid matter that is the matter which remains after perfect desiccation, or the expulsion of the aqueous part is little inferior to that of the several kinds of butcher's meat, game or poultry. And, if we give our attention to classes of people classed as to quality of food they principally subsist on we find that the ichthy ophagous class are especially strong, healthv and prolific. In no class than that of fish jrs do we see larger families, handsomer women, or more robust and active men, or a greater exemption from the maladies just alluded to.

THE NORTH C A 110 L INI AN, What lb a Siege? In a recent lecture before the Royal Insti tution, Mr Jekyil described the progress of a "In a regularly fortified place there are four j rounded bv ditches, to protect the town, all of which have to be broached and assaulted successively in cases of obstinate defence ; and the walls are so constructed that the men on the innermost may fire on the assailants in support of the works in front. Mr Jekyil then described and explained by diagrams the mode of making approaches to the besieged fortress ly concentric parallel trenches the first being made at a distance of six hundred yards and the method of advancing from parallel to parallel by zig-zag trenches, to prevent, the fire of the fortress from enfilading them. He exhibited models of gabions and fascines, and showed the manner in vvnicii tney are used uy niinig inein with sand, and erecting, with the aid of sand bags, a temporary defence against musketry, to protect the men till the trenches are solidly constructed. The trenches are dug three feet deep and fifteen wide, and the earth being thrown toward the enemy, bulwark is formed sufficient to protect the men from the guns of the fortress. The plan of counter-mining, with a view to destroy the mines of the fortress, was par ticularly explained. The enemy are always on the alert to stop such operations, and by means of a tightly stretched drum with a pea on the top of it, they can generally ascertain, owing to the vibration, caused by the digging out of the earth, in what direction the besiegers are working. When the works approach very close to each other, a long iron rod is sometimes forced through into the enemy's mine, to form an opening through which a gun may be fired; or more generally a composition is pushed 1 through, which on being ignited, produces a suffocatinir smoke, and drives the men out of the works. The sappers, when they have made a considerable advance, frequently blow up these mines, and in this manner throw up the earth, to afford places of shelter to the men close to the outer walls. The direct fire on the walls to batter in breach is not usually made until batteries have been constructed within one hundred yards of the wall; and then by firing together in salvos, first making perpendicular rents short distances apart, and then a horizontal one, a breach is soon effected. If the garrison, on being sum moned to surrender, refuses, the assault is then made, and when the outer wall is gained the same work has to be repeated, to batter down and gain possession of the inner walls In cases i of very obstinate resistance the houses are j ioi uiicu, aim siiciis are laiu ueninu uie nre-piaces, ; so that when an enemy has taken possession of j . I . ..; 1 ,1 : l 4. 1 i l i: j.i .1. . c . r a ouuuiug, ami me suiuiers ngui, tne nres temptingly laid ready, the shells explode and destroy the houses. After describing the siege operations against an ordinary fortified place, Mr Jekyd proceeded to explain the peculiarities attending the siege of Sepastopol. The works of the besiegers are so extended that the enemy have the advantage in the amount of fire, and though on the South side there is not the regularity of defences that a first class fortified inland town possesses, the great number or guns the Russians can mount, and the numerous garrison which can be con stantly reinforced with fresh troops, give them an advantage far greater than if the place was regularly fortified and properly invested by a superior force. Even when the South side of Sebastopol is taken it will be completely com manded by the guns on the .North, and a fresh siege will have to be undertaken to gain po session or that part ot the tortress. In con- sequence, also, of the extended character of the works and of the large force of the enemy out side, the English lines can be enfiladed by the guns on the heights of Inkerman, and by the ships iu the harbor. Mr Jekyil spoke almost hopelessly of the result of the siege, although he admitted that the 13 inch mortars which have been recently mounted in battery might do more execution than could well be calculated till they had been tried. The shells projected from those mortars would weigh two hundred weight, and they would fall with a force equal to eighty tons, while the force of the 10 inch shells previously used does not exceed one-third that amount. The difficulties attending the siege of Sebastopol Mr Jekyil appeared to consider so great that scarcely anything short of the special in terposition of Providence could give success. Origin of Jealousy. Our lady readers will be interested in the following account of the j birth of the "green-eyed monster," which we extract from Mansfield Parkins' most entertain- i nig work. "Liiie in Aoyssiuia." Air Farkius heard the story from the lips of a pious Moslem acquaintance.: "When Adam and Eve were iu Paradise, they were for some time a-Viuost happy couple, (it may be supposed for a month or two, like most married couples.) Adam was in the habit of going every evening to heaven to pray. The Devil, who had studied the female mind, aud knew its weak points, thought that the in troduction of jealously might be a good founda tion whereon to build much mischief. So he went to Eve, and after propitiating her by well timed flattery, he inquired after Adam. Eve replied by informing him where her husband was gone. At this the Devil smiled incredu lously, but said nothing; aud even -when our first mother pressed him to tell her the mean ing of his smile, refused to answer for a time, feigning that he would not hurt her feeling or injure the reputation of his friend. "This conduct was only additional evidence of his profound acquaintance with the weak nesses of the female heart, for so acting he wrought strongly on her curiosity as well as her suspicion, till at last, having worked her up to a state of mind capable of receiving any lies he might choose to tell her, he informed her, with every appearance of sorrow, that Adam was deceiving her and paying his ad dresses to another lady. At this Eve laughed scornfully, saying, "how can this be, for I know that there is no woman created except myself" The devil again smiled with an ex pression of pity. Alas! poor thing, said he, if I show yon another woman will that unde ceive yon? She assented, and he showed her a mirror! Eve was, of course, completely de ceived, though she thought herself undeceived. How can a coon Metiiohist be a Know Nothing? The following "Article of Faith," is to be found in the Discipline of the Metho dist Episcopal Church. It will be seen that by necessairy implication, all oaths are forbid den except they be made before a magistrate legally authorized to administer : "Aswe i confessthat vain and rash swearing Christ and by James his apostle; so we judge that the Christian religion doth not prohibit, but that a man may swear when the magistrate requircth, in a cause of faith and charitv so it j he done according to the prophet's teaching, in justice,, judgment, aud troth."

Declaration of Independence. General Andrew Jackson a Gentleman. Instead of being a rude and unpolished man, as many have supposed, General Jackson was considered by all who knew him intimately, as the very perfection of a gentleman. His man ners were courteous in the extreme, and to illustrate this fact, Mr Buchanan related a striking incident. He said on one occasion he received a letter from an American lady, wdio had a daughter married to an individual of high rank among the English nobifitv. In her note to Air Uuehanan siie informed him she bore a message to the President of the United States ....... . . . , . . . . trom W illiam 1 V . and she desired liiiii to lie- company her to the White House in order that she inij-ht present it in person. Mr B. obeyed her request, and they went to the President's mansion, lie excused himself tor a lew mo ments, and went to the private room of the President, where he found him in the most wretched dishabille. He was clad in an old grey sourtout coat, a dirtv shirt, his beard tomr. and to crown all he was smokin? an old blackened pipe. Mr B. acquainted him with the fact that Mrs , was in another part of the mansion, with a message to him from the King of England. He was fearful the old gen tleman might walk down stairs to receive his visitor in that sorry plight, and therefore sug gested to him whether he had not better ar range his dress and shave. His reply was, U'Buchanan, I once knew a man who made a -brtune by minding his own business; go down mill v:i V- 111 lrt"5 I sllllll llR IkIIIIIV tO wait on her presently." lie left "the apartment, and in a very short tune the old gentleman uraeefullv entered the room, dressed in a suit of rich black cloth, cfean shaved, with fine head of white hair ea retail v brushed, and received the lady with the greatest ease and polish of man ners. She bore him the kind salutation of the King, with the request that he would, after the expiration of the Presidential term, visit En gland. On their return from the White House, the lady expressed her high gratification, and the pleasure derived from the interview, and said she had visited every principal court in Europe, and mingled with those of the highest rank, but that General Jackson, in all the at tributes of gentlemanly courtesy, and highly re lined manners, excelled every other man she ever met. Arthur's ISIagazine. Unpremeditated Eloquence. As an exam ple of powerful, unpremeditated eloquence, may be given a short answer of Curran, the Irish orator, to a certain Judge Robinson the author of many scurrilous political pamphlets who, upon one occasion, when the barrister was arguing a case before him, had the impu dence to reproach Curran for his poverty, by telling him that he expected his "law library was rather contracted." "It is true, my lord," said Curran with digni fied respects, "that I am poor and the circum stance has certainly somewhat curtailed my library; my books are not numerous, but they are select, and I hope they have been perused with a proper disposition. I have prepared myself for this high profession, rather by the study of a few good works, than by the com position of a great many bad ones. I am not ashamed of .my poverty; but I should be ashamed of my wealth, could I have stooped to accpiire it by servility and corruption. If I rise not to rank, I shall at least be honest; and should I ever cease to be so, many an example shows me that an ill-gained reputation, by mak ing me more conspicuous, would only make me the more universally and the more notoriously contemptible.

HOW TO PRE SERVE BEAUTY. Dont use Chalk, Lily White, or any of the so-called cosmetics, to conceal a faded or sallow complexion. If you would have th;i roses brought back to your cheek, a clear healthy and transparent skin, and life and vigor infused through the system, get a ltottle of Carter's Spanish Mixture, and take it according to directions. It does not taste quite as well as your sweet-meats; but, if after a few doses you do not find your health and leauty reviving, your step elastic and vigorous, the whole system refreshed and in vigorated like a Spring morning, then your case is hopeless; and all the valuable certificates we possess, go for nought. It is the greatest purifier of the blood known; is perfectly harmless, and at the same time powerfully efficacious. See advertisement. 4t For .sale in Fayetteville by S. J. Hinsdale.
