It is verj generally rumored that the Con vention of delegates of the American party, which assembled in Louisburg, on Monday last, nominated Jakes B. Shkpasp, Esq , of this City, as their candidate for. Congress in this Dis trict, composed of the counties of Wake, War- rerr, Johnston, Nash, Orange, Granville and FruDklin. The reported composition of the Convention, together with the nomination of Mr. Shepabd, at once give the lie direct to the oft repeated as sertion of the looofoco press, that the new or ganization is "a Whig concern " It is said that upwards of one hundred and fifty delegates were in attendance, of which number a consid erable majority were formerly Democrats! Mr. Sbepahd, it is well known, has heretofore been a most decided, firm and unwavering Democrat, having been several times elected to the Leg islature of the State by his party; and in 1846, he was their candidate for Governor of the State! If it tnrn out to be the case that Mr. Shkpasp. it the nominee of the Louisbnrg Convention, we shall not hesitate to give him a cordial support. He possesses the finest qualities of head and heart, is an able and accomplished debater and a chivalrous gentleman. He will not fail, we believe, to expose and denounoe, in proper terms, the corrupt designs, imbecile character and anti-American tendencies of the present Administration, with which all good men are thoroughly disgusted. But more, when we "know" more. THE FIRST DISTRICT. Col. Robert T. Paine, of Chowan, has been selected as the American candidate for Con gress in the District at present represented by the Hon." H. M. Shaw. The American party will have in Col. Paine an able and dauntless exponent of their principles and views. It will be remembered that Dr. Shaw wrote, some time back, a most bitter and denunciatory letter relative to "KnowNothingism." 'Sam' a? turn comes now, and he proposes to relieve the Doctor of Congressional honors and restore him to the occupation of pill-making and phleboto my. THE FIFTH DISTRICT. We learn that Edwin G. Rxade, Esq., of Person County, is the American candidate for Congress in the Fifth District, in opposition to the Hon. John Kerb. A public discussion took place between the two gentlemen at Rox boro' on Tuesday last, we are informed. RALEIGH AND FAYETTEVILLE. We are gratified to learn that exertions are being made to induce the PoBt Office Depart ment at Washington to authorize the new and enterprising contractor (D. G. McRae, Esq.,) to put Jour horse coaches on the route between this place and Fayetteviile. Such an improved mode of communication is every way demanded by the closely allied interests of the two towns. Jt will certainly contribute greatly to the tra velling patronage of the Raleigh and Gaston Uailroad. We commend the matter most earn estly to the prompt and favorable notice of our citizens. True. The " Norfolk Beacon," alluding to Mr. Ransom's resignation of the office of Attor ney General, remarks : To our knowledge, a . i n - i . i area .tuturuiea uenerai in succession nave re signed before the expiration of their term, viz Messrs Smanlt, Moore and Ransom. They were all whigs, though ; we have not beard of a loenloeo's resigning, but, when we do, our readers shall know it." EpibCopAL Convention. The Annual Con vention of the P. E. Church in this Diocese com menced its sessions in Warrenton, on Wednes day last. A large number of the Clergy add Laity are in attendance. The Convention ser mon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Hcske, of Fayetteviile. Social Hall. We are placed under obliga tions to Mr. Ironmonger, of "Social Hall." the new and elegantly fitted up Restaurant on Fay etteville Street, for a dish of Crabs, prepared in superior style, as, indeed, every thing else m said to be at that establishment Ex-Prps.idf.nt Fillmobe arrived at Montpe lier, Vt., a few days ago, and Was met by a large numUr of citizens, with a band of music. He wa caued out m a brief speech, Wen, his aid, ell ued much applause. THE AMERICAN PARTY OF NEVV YORK. It was-stated, in a telegraphic dispatch, in our last, that the American Convention, recent ly assembled at Syracuse, had expelled a mem ber for uttering sentiments of disloyalty to the Union. We have since beep put in possession of the Conservative, - National, Constitutional resolutions adopted by the Convention. The following is the platform, and it commends it self to the cordial aooeptanoe and approbation of every Southern heart : 1. Americans shall rule America. 2. The Union of these States. 3. NoNorth o South NoEast No West. 4. The United States of America as they are, one and inseperable. 5. No sectarian interference in our legisla tion or in the administration of American laws. 6. Hostility to the assumptions of the Pope, through the bishops, priests, and prelates of the Roman Catholic church, here, in a republic sanctified by Protestant blood. ' 7. Thorough reform in the naturalization laws. 8. Free and liberal educational institutions for all sects and classes, with the Bible, God's holy word, as a universal text book. The Convention in New York, too, adopted enthusiastically the Third Degree of the Ameri can party, which we publish below,-accompanied by some comments of the "Richmond Pen ny Post." It will be seen that the "Pest" ad mits it be the genuine obligation which mem bers of the Degree have to assume, and we there fore ask to it the earnest and undivided atten tion of our readers, begging them, at the same time, to recollect that it is stigmatized by the Abolitionists as the "cotton" or "nigger" De gree ; because it enjoins the preservation of the Union and the protection of the rights of the South : THE UNION, OR THIRD DEGREE. We publish below the third degree of the A raerican party, exposed by some per ored vil lain, or purloined by an unprincipal thief. We are glad that such a rascal has existed, and muchood may his rascality do our opponents. It puts a final quietue upon the calumny of our adversaries, that the American party is Aboli tion. This is its third degree, and it proves, what we have always asserted, that AN ABO LITIONIST CANNOT BE A MEMBER OF OUR ORDER. A gentleman who participated in the formation of this degree and the obliga tion is now in the city, and tells us it was for med for the express purpose of keeping out the abolitionists. We publish it with great pleas ure, and the only regret we have in the matter is, that the scoundrel was not smart enough to expose it long ago. Read it, all of you, and say can an abolitionist be a member of the Ameri can party! No! no! no! will be the unani mous response. We also publish, in connexion with the de gree, the comments o.r the Abolition Leader; of Cleveland,. Ohio. rWe invoke the slave-holders of Virginia to pause before they join the mad crusade of the Abolitionists against the Ameri can Party i Penny Post. . From the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader, May 9. Know Nothing Third Degree. It is known to all Know Nothings, and many outsiders be sides, that a new Know Nothing ritual has been adopted, in which there is a change of signs, signals, grips ana pass-woras, hdu mat a new degree has been added. For one or two months past the county deputies have been busy intro ducing it into the various Councils. The "new work" costs each subordinate lodge $12. This sum is charged to meet the heavy expenses of the "big bugs" and to defray other demands. The obligations of the first and last degrees do not differ materially from those in the old work; but the new Third stands out unique and pecu liar. The Pittsburg Gazette, of Thur sday, pub lished the whole genuine ritual the pass wtids and signs excepted from which we oopy. We have often alluded to the pro-slavery character of the new degree, and now have the confirmation of it in black aud white before us. The great mass of the Know Nothings of this city have not yet taken it, and that they may not be entrapped in the dark to take an obligation stultifying their political sentiments, we place before them the oath they will be re quired to take. And here let us ask them, and all honest man, what question has ever distur bed the peace, or endangered the perpetuity of the Union, save the Slavery question? Under the pretext of "preserving the Union," the members are really sworn to "put down Anti Slavery agitation." And as to the description of adjustment or all "political discontents of dif ferences," which they are sworn to procure, what is it but more compromises of the Fill more and Fugitive Slave Law ? Every rational man understands what the originators of this degree were after when they invented it. We all know the grand object was to ignore and crush out Northern opposition to slavery as gression, uoder the old pretext of saving the union, ine Slaveholders who cooked un the degree, with the aid of New York Silver Greys, have bat one interpretation for it, and that is. a dagger with which Anti-Slavery men are ex pected to commit political suicide, under the delusion that they are saving the Union ! e should also call the special attention of those who have seen "Sam," but have not had a Bight at this last wrinkle on his brow, to that part of the oath which binds them to support only Third degree members of the Order none but orthodox Union savers for office, and ask all honest men, in or out of the Order, wherein this degree is less pro slavery than the locofoeo Baltimore Patform of '55, upon which General Pierce was nominated, or the Whig platform, which killed General Scott and his party. -' From the Pittsburgh Gazette, 26th uft. - New Work of the Know Nothings The Ob ligation or the Third or Pro-Slavery Degree.

Much anxiety is evinoed for the arrival of the next Steamer, as the result of the bombardment of Sevasto pol will probably decide the seige. It was ex pected that the assault would be made after five' days' firing, but ten days have trot render ed it practicable. The best report from, the Allies is that their fire is superior to that of the Russians, and that some advantages have been gained over the exterior defences. Meantime, the guns of the beseigers are getting strained, and there are rumors that their ammunition is falling low. It is said that the government has received intelligence which it withholds from the public, and naturally the worst construction is put upon the news that is suppressed. ITEMS OF THE DAY. "Hisses." These may be heard in the galle nes of the Massachusetts house, and no longer on the floor. Hiss is expelled. The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife is supplanted by that of Joseph Hiss and Patterson's (Billy's) wife. Hiss, however, is not magnanimous, but announces his intention of proving one hundred and eighty of his associates guilty of adultery. What wholesale immorality for the modern Athens ! A Lightning Exploi t. Now that the new telegraph is in operation from Balaklava to Varna, the headquarters of the allies in the Crimea are within one hour's distance of Paris and London.

In and Oct. Mr. Dudley Mann, it seems, is no longer a member of the "Kitchen Cabinet" at Washington. He is a gentleman of talent, but unfortunately he is one of those who con ceive that intrigue is a necessary part of diplo macy ; and under the present regime at the fed eral capitol, he found intrigue so abundant that his own was inconveniently superfluous. The great clock for the Houses of Parliament was, by the contraot, to have been fixed by Feb ruary last, but the tower is not yet ready for it. The dials are to be twenty-two feet in diameter, and will be the largest in the world, with the minute hand. Every half minute the point of the minute hand will move nearly seven inches. The clock will go eight and a half days, and strike only tor seven and a bait, so (as to indi cate by its silence any neglect in winding it up lbe mere winding up oi each of the striking parts will probably take two hours.

In Iowa, a man was recently robbed of $800 by the application of chloroform.

Being in, he applied cloths wet with chloroform to the faced of the sleeping husband and wife, and then found the money hid between, the straw and feather beds. A gentleman recently at the Post Office in Albany observed a considerable list of let ters which were advertised as being detained in consequence of omission on the part of the writers.f.0 pre-pay the postage.

The hot weather begins to: be oppressive at New Orleans, and many of the inhabitants are pre paring to leave their business and the city for the summer. .The Picayune urges the necessity of immediately adopting quarantine regulations. At present the city appears to enjoy good health. What is Baggage? In a recent suit in New York, the question came up, whether a gold watch is an article of wearing apparel to be deemed baggage.

Masonic A grand Congress of the Masonic Fraternity of the world is to take place in Paris on the first of June, to take into consideration the condition of Masonry over the Globe, and to adopt, for the benefit of the order, whatever may be appropriate and lawful.

Crops and Politics in Virginia. A very intelligent and observant gentleman, just retur ned from a tour through several portions of Virginia, informs the Baltimore Patriot that the growing crop, generally speaking, presents a highly promising appearance. Rain is con siderably wanted in some plaoes, but thus far the Wheat does not appear to be injured, except Blightly by the fly. If the usual quantity of rain should fall, the indications are that Virginia will ield an abundant harvest. I he same gentleman states that political mat ters are runing to a very high pitch. The peo ple are everywhere excited,. and seem totally absorbed in the canvass. ; The American party, as it is termed, seems sanguine of triumphant success, whilst the friends of Mr. Wise are wholly unable to calculate results. Even in the strongest democratic regions, there is uncertain ty and doubt upon their side. Compulsory Vaccination; A bill is before the Massachusetts Legislature, which makes it compulsory on parents, guardians, overseers of charitable institutions, prisons, the selectmen of towns, and mayors and aldermen of cities, &c., to see that all persons who may come under their charge are duly, vaccinated ; and any neg lect of this duty shall be punished by a fine of fire dollars for each and every year ot such neglect.

On the 5th inst. flour: was selling at Halifax at sixteen THE BIGGEST SORT OF A RASCAL. Of all the grand rascals we have recently heard or read, G. Hubert Sanders, Esq., the great California swindler, is about the greatest. A correspondent of one of our New York ex changes touches him up in the following style : "G. Hubert Sanders was one of our wealthiest citizens certainly the most extravagant. He drove a span of sorrels before a light buggy in the morning, a span of blacks to a handsome rockaway in the afternoon, and in the evening he sported a carriage and spanking pair of bays. His oflice hours were shortened ' from 8 to 5" down to from 10 to 2," but between those hours he was always in bis oflice, eave at lunch hours, when if any of bis distinguished family were "down shopping," he would escort them to the ice cream saloon, and the skill of theca tering artistes was often taxed to their utmost in providing dainties for them. Oa one occasion, last year, when strawberries first appeared in the market, it is said that him self and Mrs. Wheeler ate the moderate allow ance of $100 worth each, at one sitting. The stories now told of his lavish expenditures wonld fill an octavo. About two wet-ks ago the eldest daughter was married to a genlleman of Sacra mento. Another magnificent and costly enter tainment was given on the occasion. Young wife hunters mourned that there were no more daughters in the family, so that they too might form a matrimonial alliance with so distinguish ed a set. Their soirees outshone those of all others. To be invited to Sanders' was the ze nith of bliss to all cod-fishdom. But time works wonders. The mutations of human life are be yond the power or the predictions of man. Last week G. Hubert Sanders was arrested on a charge of forgery, and was released upon giving bends in the sum of $10,000 for his appearance at court to answer the charge. His son-in-law and his partners were his sureties. That even ing he fled and has not been found nor heard of. The following day forged mortgages and deeds were discovered in his office, upon which he raised over $300,000. In one instance he actually mortgaged a man's own property to him for $4,000, and, strange to tell, the poor fellow never discovered it till the news of the forgeries were two days old. To some he gave mortgages upon the highway. the boundaries and descriptions being given in the usual stvle. He also drew mortgages upon property of Bolton P. Banon, John Parrott, Sam Brannan, and other of our wealthy men, who never had adollar upon their estates. All those he conveyed to his victims, who paid him their money, gave him his commission, and went away confident in the security that held their funds. One great cause why he was enabled to continue his Irauds so lone undiscovered, is the tact that nearly all of his sufferers are French, who do not understand our language, and who were igno rant of the legal procedure in such cases, iiivery day, so far, has brought to light some new act of his viluany. Of all our splendid rascals, Sanders has pro ved himself the chief, iiis new system of rob bery is entitled to the first rank in the Paten Office of rascality and old style forgers, such as Monroe Edwards was, must not hope for the distinguished reputation that is so richly merit ed by Sanders, 3leiggs and Schuyler.

Stirrixq News. The contents of the Euro pean mail, which reached thiscity, lastevening are of a much more important character than the foreshadovrings by telegraph, from Halifax led us to helieve. The breaking up of the Peace Conferences at Vienna, coupled with the vacillat ing and now very suspicious attitude of Austria, and the barren results, so tar, ot the bombard ment of Sebastopol, bad produced a feeling ot marked depression both in London and Paris. The puplia mind is preparing now for war on the most extended scale, war that will at once bring into play all the resources of the bel ligerents. As a great step to that end, we have the poeitive assurance that the Emperor of the French will set out for the Crimea at an early day. Another is, to compel Austria to draw the sword, either for or against the Csar. Al ready a courier was on his. way from Paris for Vienna, with despatches from the Emperor for M. Drouyn de 1'IIuys. 1 These despatches are described ae decided in their tone, and the French Plenipotentiary is instructed to call upon the Cabinet of Vienna to declare categorically whether it means to ful fil its pledges, and " to take the part that be- cosnes it as a great power against the common enemy, now that Russia has rejected the pro positions of the powers." The demand is said to be made in terms which admit neither of eva sion nor delay. The Austrian Government, meanwhile, is manifestly not .blind to the crisis. To use a Yankee phrase, she is getting ready to face the music. in issuing a decree for a new levy of eighty thousand men. ..

With a new and superb Map of the uuja states, ttngravea on steel. Above 1200 pages, cvo. The publishers take pleasure in announcing the completion of this, the most elaborate, eompreuen sive, and periect Uazetteer or the United States, that has ever issued from the press. In its pre paration, no considerations of expense cr labor nave been allowed to interfere with a work design ed to be as perfect as possible in every department, aud in all of its details. Nor have the successive issues of other Gaietteers, hurried through the press to claim the market, tempted the publishers to offer their book before all the ample Census (of I860) and other material in the hands of the Edit ors were fully digested and accurately arranged. When this Gazetteer was first announced, 800 pages, or, at the most, 600, were designed as the limit of the book. But so vast was the amount of matter accumulated by the personal labors of the Editors aud their assistants, as well is though the active efforts of several thousand Cor respondents in all parts of the United States, the work has swelled to near 1200 pages. The amount of nef matter wiiich it contains, all of a recent character, is very large, and in many instances em bracing Statistics and Populations to 1854. This gives it an intrinsic value over every other work of the kind iu existence. The only complete and thoroughly reliable Ga zetteer of the United States yet published 1 tor sale by H. D. TURNER, N.
