We do not feel it a duty to urge' the vo ters "to the polls."

J We are requested to insert the following Card, which is another demonstration of the power of truth. These gentlemen are well known and highly respected. They conscientiously entered the' Know Nothing or American Order, and now they as con scientiously leave it, and join the great National Democratic party, under the full conviction that this is the only course to sustain the Rights of the South and pre serve the Union. A number of others have withdrawn who have had jio opportunity of recording their names. - f - ' Bhunswick Co., Town Creek, ) August 6;b, 1856. $ I Messrs.

MEERELL, -JOEL CRERELL, j URIAH CRERELL, JOHN B. EVANS, JOHN B. STANLEY, WILL'M RABOURN. . VERY IMPORTANT REPORT. - Oh our first page will be found the offi cial, report of Maj. Gen. VolneyI to Gov. Johnsox of California. We presume our readers r may mainly rely upon the facts contained in this statement.; making due allowance for the excited feeling under which the author very evidently labors, and the peculiar crisis of affairs. We find also, that our prognostication, presented several years ago, is being verified, and that there is now indeed an attempt to subvert the State Government and secede from the U nion. Our doctrine has been and is, that a sovereign State has a right to secede, in its capacity as such, by the voice of the people, legally expressed. But this being a rebellion against the State Government, becomes a rebellion against the Union, and the "Federal Government is bound to aid the State Government in crushing! it. We have no doubt but this will be done. i The United States cannot submit to the wrong of having our important communications with the Pacific thus illegally and treason ably cut off - j If things continue in this state, Califor nia can present no vote for the Presidency. Of course a vote taken under the; supervi sion of the "Safety Committee" would be rejected. MARYLAND SENATORS. Ih our-last, we gave notice that Senator Pratt, of Maryland, an old line whig, had come out in favor of Buchanan and Breck inridge, and gave an extract from his-' let ter on the subject We have now to an nounce that the 'other Senator from that State, Jas. Alfred Pearce has done like wise. He says, in his letter: ?" The contest, it seems to me, lies between Mh Buchanan and Mr. Fremont. Mr. Fillmore's friends indeed claim a great re action in bis favor; but I have taken much pains to ascertain what his strength is in the free States, and so far I have not been able to satisfy myself that he can carry a single one of them. ? " . - . MAt present the prospect is that the con servative Whig vote will be so disided as to defeat a popular election and" throw the decision upon the House of Representatives all times an, event to' be deprecated," but at this period peculiarly pernicious and dangerous, and threatening the rudest shock to our system. - What'; the result will be I will not venture to predict, but I will say that I do not see the least proba bility of Mr.1 Fillmore's, election by the L House of -Representatives. I think, there fore, it would be the part of wisdom and patriotism in the Whigs (by which I mean those who affiliated with no other party ) to throw their vote? for Mr. Buchanan, as the strongest of the candidates opposed to the Northern sectional party. This they may do without renouncing their old political faith, without stain of honor or suspicion of apostacy. The motive being the integ rity of the Union,.the defeat of a party which is founded on geographical discrim inations and bound together by dangerous sectional schemes, the act will be vindica ted by disinterested patriotism. "BURNING OF THE JOHN JAY ON LAKE ERIE ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. One of the passengers gives the follow ing account of this melancholy disaster: There were 75 to 80 passengers, and the stages had to return across the isthmus at Ticonderoga, four milesj for a second load, which detained us until near 6, instead of the usual time, about 4 o'clock. We started about six, the company com posed chiefly of traveling parties of plea sure, and of the 80 at least 50 were ladies, all in high spirits: After running some two miles, and just as we were opening into the wider part of the lake, the boat took fire anifthose on board had not .time to reach the forward deck, and the pilot and captain were scon forced from the steering wheel. Their intention and hope was to round a rocky point just beyond which was a beach and landing Garfield's and a lit tle settlement called Hague, but the. boat struck violently the point of rocks and re bounded into deep water, and was heading out into the lake. The captain, on the burning of the wheel rope, had run aft and shipped the tiller, which, when the boat struck, hit him in the Abdomen and knock ed him overboard. He was afterwards found insensible on the rocks. About this moment, the boat heading out instead of towards the beach, and the flam es raging fearfully, pressing the passengers forward to the extreme bow, the alarm be came generaL Trunks and every thing moveable within reach were thrown oyer as fast as possible, and ladies and gentle men leaping; after them. Many had got outside the guards near the bow and were holding on the railing, ready to leap when the fire should compel them. Among those were part of Mr. Phoenix's family, and Mr. Sheffield, but the latter, with Miss Phcenix among other, was soon forced overboard by the passing crowd, but was rescued by one of the approaching skiffs. Mr. Phcenix fell, or was forced off with the irqnks, nnd was rescued, he knew not how, .with a severe contusion of the shoulder. . By this lime, which waa. hardly twenty minutes from the first alarm, nearly all was overboard, with a good portion of the trunks, all of which were piled up on the forward deck, but so sudden and rapidly did the flames progress that many heavy trunks were burnt, although men were trying to get them to save their lives with. The boat in the meantime had providentially headed toward the beach, and was one mass of fire, except some twenty feel of the extreme bow, on which remained some ten or twelve, but they, too, were soon forced to leap ; and every human being bad been forced over by the fire half an hour before she finally grounded, being then burnt to the water's edge. , Mrs. Phcenix, by her calmness and ad vice and example, prevented many from leaping before it was necessary, among them one of her own daughters, and boih of Mrs. Sheffield's. . Three young gentle men of Philadelphia Messrs. Hutchinson who very early stripped themselves to their under clothes, after having saved their father and three sisters, were, by their en ergy and advice, instrumental in saving many others. They behaved with great coolness and confidence. One young lady, Miss Fleet, of Brooklyn, was lost under the wheel. 'Two others, Mrs. Twing and Mrs. Belknap, were lost from the after part of the boat. Miss Ren shaw and her uncle were recovered by a young man who saw them sink in about twelve feet of water, and by diving brought them up, but the lady was too far gone ; the gentleman finally recovered. Four skiffs had put ofT from the landing, below, and reached the floating ladies as soon as possible, and were instrumental in saving many, but that so few were lost in such a sudden and awful emergency, may be owing to the fact that there were so many light ladies' trunks, hat cases, &c , which floated and imparted confidence to those ladies who were so foftunate as to seize upon one. The ladies generally be haved with great composure and good judgment. ' A few imperfect life preservers were seiz ed upon early, but soon the flames prevent ed any communication to the after part of the boat, and neither chairs or sofas, nor the ship's yawl boat, could be get at, and the life boat immediately over the fire was soon in flames. - The fire was no doubt caused by trying to make up lost time in forcing in too much pitch pine wood, choking the smoke-stack with dense smoke, causing a downward draft 60 sudden and so strong that the fire men barely escaped with their lives, and had no time to close the doors of the fire boxes. Immediately the fire room was in flames and pouring out on deck. The whole time of the disaster could not have been more than twenty to thirty minutes before all had been compelled to leap for their lives. The scene was one of intense anxiety "and alarm. The sun had sunk be hind the mountains; it was nearly dark ; the shore strewed with the weeping and the exhausted mothers and sisters and fathers-, .all anxiously and imploringly in quiring- after their party and friends the burning steamer lying off about one hun dred feef from the beach, one whole mass of fire from stem to stern, a flaming monu ment of the quick destruction of the .work of man, of the uncertainty of life and of the duty of being prepared for death at any moment were scenes that cannot be des cribed, and brought up feeling and impres sions which no-. oos can-realize but trom experience. - NO PLEASING ANYBODY'. GratUn, speaking of the Prince Regent, said : "They have abased him In every possible shape; for first, they have abused his person, of which he is very vain; and secondly, they have abased his mistress, of whom he Is very fond; and thirdly, not content with all that, tbey have praised his wo. wife. Poor gentleman, he is sadfy used." THE SPANISH INSURRECTION. .- Th London Times of the 19th of July (the day on which the steamer sailed) has the following additional information with regard to the insurrection in Spain. :' For some time past it has been evident that affairs, in that country -were approach ing a crisis, and that some trifling event would result in an explosion. The explo sion has come in the shape of a coup d'etat at Madrid, where there has been some des perate fighting (continuous fighting, it is said, for thirty hours) between the people, supported by the national guard, and the troops of the line. . According to the des patches from the Spanish capital on Thurs day the fighting is over, the deaths are nu merous, the national guard has been dis armed. But the blaze has extended to the provinces. At Saragossa the people, join ed by the garrison, have been victorious, and, according to -the intelligence from Barcelona, Catalonia is in a state of insur rection. The accounts which come from Paris declare that Espartero, instead of having resigned, had been ignominiously dismissed by the Queen, and that O'Don nell vhad consented to become the Minis ter of a covp d'etat. We are also cautioned against trusting too implicity to the tele graphic accounts, which are unduly favor able to the reigning dynasty. One version of the origin of the affifir is that Christina had been intriguing against Espartero, and that a formidable bill of indictment had been presented against him by the French Minister at Madrid, the Alarquis de Turgot. Espartero was summoned to the royal pre sence, the Queen received him haughtily, surrounded by armed soldiers and, after hearing his explanation, commanded him to leave Madrid within twenty-four hours. His whereabout is unknown, but he is be licved to be at Saragossa or Logrono. It is said that the Queen had sent forNarvaez a proof that her confidence in O'Donnell's capacity to quell the storm was failing. All Spain is declared under martial law." MORMONISM IN ST. LOUIS. The following affair was related to us this morning by a gentleman whom we consider good authority. A few weeks ago a man calling h'mself Abraham, and claim ing to be high priest of the Mormon Church, at Salt Lake City, arrived in this city os tensibly to purchase goods. He visited freely among the Mormon families here, and made himself quite at home. He as sumed to take a peculiar interest in a widow lady and daughter living on Mormon street, and finally proposed to add both of them to the number of his wives, of whom he said he had several at Salt Lake. Neither mother nor daughter were favorable to this arrangement, but the patriarch was not to be foiled. He told them that they had been sealed to him by the Almighty, and he meant to have them, nolens volens. A few evenings ago he went to the house, and still finding them intractable, said that, as they were spiritually his wives, he would exercise the authority of a husband, and so closed the door and locked it, and attempt ed to force them to his will. The daugh ter resisted successfully, and after scratch ing the reverend scoundrel's face pretty well, made her escape. The mother was finally forced to succumb, and was outrag ed. The next day she went before the bishop of the Mormon Church, and entered a complaint against her spiritual husband, and so the matter rests. On being asked why she did not make her complaint before one of the courts, she replied that it was a mutter for the church to settle, and not the law. "St. Louis Eveniny Kexcs. MARRIAGE ANPlDMiC. A Pennsylvania editor says that marri age has broken out among his neighbors, and that it is spreading With frighilul'virul ence all over the northern end of the coun ty, carrying off hundreds of his subscribers. Hundreds of cases, he says, have come un der his own observation, all of them hope less once seized, the victim is a case ; the only thing that can be done is to call in a clergyman to prepare him for his fate. Hav ing had the complaint before, he says, is no protection against it. A widow who had caught it years before, and was slowly re covering from its effect, suffered a relapse, and was now lost beyond recovery. She has married a second time. A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. We visited, a few days since, a spot ren dered somewhat memorable as having been the scene of a duel between two of Kentu ky's chivalrous sons. The position of the duellists, about eight paces, was marked by two trees, one of which bears the initials of one of the party's entire name cut into the bark, the other bears only the initials of the last name of the other party The tree under which the party stood who was kill ed is dead, having, as we are credibly in formed, gradually decayed from the time The other tree is singularly typical of the condition of the surviving party, who is now an inmate of a lunatic asylum stand ing, as it does, with the lower branches full of life and virtue, while its top is dead and leafless. Strange thoughts crowded our minds as we stood and gazed upon these unfortunate witnesses to an unfortunate deed. Georgetown D. C. Journal. NO DOUBT TRUE. The Washington correspondent of the New York Advertiser says : "The telegraphic advices sent from .this city to New York concerning an Irish ex citement here on the occasion of the ac quital of Herbert, are entirely frivolous. The result was acquiesced in, as a matter of course, by Irishmen as well as others, the trial having been a fair one, and in ac cordance with the laws of the country." ORGANS OF COMBATIVENESS. ' Daring the Dorr 'war in Rhode Island, a bill 'was brought into "organize the army." This a roused from sleep an old man in one corner, who represented a town in the West part of the State. - "Mr. Speaker," says he, "I tell you I am de cidedly opposed to organizing the army, as you call it. Our forefathersfit through the revolution with nothing bnt a dram and fife, and come off first best tool I go agin organs. They'll be dreadful onhandy things in battle,, now I tell you t" . : ' . - This was irresistible, and old "Aunt Rhody's army" remains unorganised to this day. Masjom C. H. S. C. Ang. 5.

Sr. FREMONT IS CALIFORNIA. ; - Ts-s ApriRiirr Der-ALCiTiow orrss Stats or j CAuroawiA. The New ' York News, djseuasiDg "Fremont In California," connects .Fremont with the Ban Francisco hoase of Parmer, Cookf and Co. (a connection well known la Wall street, the Now" York Express says, this house being part proprtf etor of the Mariposa claim, and says : ' "These scheming financiers Palmer, Cook a yd Co who are understood to have the best of rea sons for opposing the acta of the Vigilance Com mittee of Saa Francisco, were farnUbed by the State of California with foods one hundred thousand dollars to pay. interest on her 8tate debt due in New York on the first of Joly. . This interest baa never, been paid, and the State is in default through ibe sets of her agenta." - The money, the News blots, has gone into the election to boy newspapers to "shriek for free dom," Ac, &c. . The News, continuing, says : ' ' The truth is simply this: Palmer, Cook A Co., of whom Fremont is the presumed company, hold the title to tbo Mariposa estates. It is worthless unless they can dispose of it lo a foreign coin lany which they bare been thus far ntaable to do or secore a Government favorable to their claim. Fremont is urged for the Presidency, anl the moneys of tbe State of California, placed in the hands of Palmer, Cook & Co., for the pay. ment of tbe interest due on tbe State debt, is made use of for other purposes. What disposi tion has been made of tbis large fund, we will leave our readers to infer. That Fremont receiv ed the nomination that funds are plentiful for his election is all well understood but what the aetion of the State of California, or of tbe Vigilance Committee of San Francisco, will be when they hear of the defalcation of tbis firm, we shsfli probably learn by the next ateamer. j "That Fremont pretended to make an effort on Wall-street to save the credit of tbe State of Cali fornia, when it was known that the Interest on ber State debt would not be paid is well known; and besides this general knowledge, the New York Times stated that Mr. Fremont was tbrougb tbe street trying to raise sixty thousand dollars to apply to this object, and save tbe hooor ef his Slate. J3ot the honor of the 8tate, like tbe cred itor tbe applicant, was gonej and every Wall-' strett man wbo bad looked at tbe bankrupt rec ords of our courts, tbo Tsjt Commissioners' list, knew the proclivities of Palmer, Cook and Co., his associates and backers, if not bis partners, laughed iq his face for having the audacity to make such a request. . The repudiation of debts falling due, by the Dry Duck Bank, of which his friend and barker, George Law, is President, was too fresh in their memories to be caogbt by the same corlrrie, through new agents, and tbe honor of the State was suffered to go unredeemed." "In the meantime Fremont has delared his own poverty by appearog before the Tax Commission er of this city, Mr. John W; Allen, on the 24ih of Jure last past, to obtain relief from a tax on one bandied tbonsand dollars of personal property, and lakes oath that he was worth nothing over and above bh liabilities. While we regret the pecuniary difficulties with which be Is surround ed, we think it fully justifies the current report that be is iu the monthly receipt of funds from Palmer, Cook At Co., for his support. After pur suing the reckless character we will give it no harder name of bis strange financial operations in California, it can be leadily understood how he could squander any conceivable fortune, and be obliged to depend on his friends for hts daily sup port. ' '. ' "" "And this Is the resin ttliotn G.-of ge Law, Dry Dock.
