We have already published the Know Nothing account of the difficulty between these gentlemen, and although perverted it represented LOUIS VEt.LE TffEATRE. GEORGE MELLUS Maxaoee M. O. DAVIE TREAiCKEE From the Maysrillc Express. Brass Hnucks.

The following letter from Blanton Duncan, the Secretary of the Know Notbijff State Council, which wefiad in the'Harrodsbnrg Know Nothine tactics nenei ally. He denies that a letter was ever addressed to him npou thesabject of dmits that soon a letter was addressed to Mr. Prentice, who, instead of discountenancing the use of such ruffianly weapons, requested Mr. Duncan to reply 'o the inquiry contained therein. Mr.

Duncan did so, telling the inquirer that "if he woitfd come or send to tie would so wit a mm to trie foundry men, who would vut him in the way of getting them" He did. not advise the use of biaas knucks in eletions, but when consulted on the subject, replied that he would "pat him in the way ot gettmgtnem out witn a protest against tbeiruse, of coarse! "We mieht have reasonably expected that intelli- gent, reflecting and responsible men 'ike Prentice and Duncan would earnestly protest against tne use of any unlawful means to control the election, and that any such intimation as the one containedMu the letter To rrennce would nave caned tortn tne bitterest denunciation from these boasted guardians of the purity of the ballot box. They were written expressly to learn where to obtain brass knucks the weapons of a ruffian and a villain for the purpose of usurping the prerogatives of the officers of tbe law, and the only reply was, that if he would come to Louisville he would "be put in the Way of getting them." The only Impression this could make was, that they approved their use, and were' williag to assist in obtaining them. This is bad enoush it is outrageous; but i3not the wor3t admission made in this letter of Blanton Duncan, Esq. He says: I advised him at all hazards to prevent illegal and I am ready to give this same advice on all occasions.

Thisadvicf explains the oriem of the election ots in Louisville, New Orleans, Baltimore, and oth er cities which have been deluged in blood by know nothiua: bullies, and shows the utter contempt of r.he order for which Mr. Duncan is speaking, ifor law. order, iustice and ritrht. La this State, and eyery otnar btato, officers are appointed by the proper authorities whose dan ty it is to conduct all elections in accordance with law. They are sworn to discbarge tfeiB-duty hon estly, fairly ana impartially.

It Is their special duty to pass upon tns quauncations ot persona ouermg to vote. The law makes the discharge of this duty imnerative, and prescribes the manner which-it must be done. It even prescribes the questions which must be answered, under oath, by those whose right 13 questioned, and it properly answered the offioers ar required to permit them to vote. Tne appointment ot sucn omcers, witn prescnoea and imperative duties, is indispensable to the purity of the ballot-box without elections "would offer no criterion of public sentiment, and would rail to accomplish tbe purposes for which they were intended. The purity of the ballot-box must te maintained to preserve our republican ins' itu- tions.

Yet, Mr. Duncan, the Secretary of the Grand Council of the State of Kentucky, admits that he advises men, not omcers of the law, to take upon themselves the right to judge of-the quaUfications of voters, and to prevent such votes as they may deem illegal from being cast. The officers of law are to be ignored, and irresponsiDie mn are to nsarD their functions. Riots and bloodshed are the inevitable consequences of such advice. A man hose right to vote hat been admitted by tnose le-ally authorized to decide, would be a craven in deed if he be deterred bv brass knucks from exercising thatrieht.

This advice is either useless and foolish, or incendiary and treasonable. If it is inteudtd to afreet tbose wnom tne judges 01 tbe election decide not to possess the requisite qualifications of a yoter, it is altogether anneces'- sary and absurd, lor tne judges do not and win not permit such to vote. If it ie intended to prevent men from voting after the judges of election have pronounced them properly qualified, it is an out-raee upon the laws, upon tbe rights of the citizsn, and upon the purity of the bolloUbox. Such advice, if followed, will not only cause riots and produce disturbances, but will necessarily ter ruinate in anarchy and hopeless ruin. If the Know Nothings were to assume the right in counties or precincts where they haye tbe power, without taw and aenance 01 law, to juoge 01 tne qualifications of voters, and to "prevent at all hazards" such men from voting as they may deem proper and necessary, theDemocrats, undoubtedly, mid assume tne same power wnere tney were he ascendancy, and elections would become a farce, ind the ritrht of suffrage would depend, not upon aw.

or instice, or right, or the possession of the pro per qualifications, but upon the will of irresponsible find lawless men. The most sacred of citi zenship would be at the mercy of a mob. The will the people wouia oe nisregsraea ana irarapiea under foot. Brass knucks would rule and ruin. Tet thii is tbe advice of Mr.

Duncan then gave, and now gives to disregard law; to ignore the officers of tin law; to usurp their function13; tn violate the rights ot citizens; and to do all this, at all hazards, and upon all occasions. Thiq adricfi is infamous and base; and the more outrageous, because ithas been followed. It cma nninn T.nn'acillo tvliro "ln-nqa IrnnfW" nnrl mob rule have triumphed over the law, trampled under foot the rights of freemen, shed innocent blood, and blighted andrnined the prospects and hopes of the gu-lty and the innocent. We asli our readers to think seriously of this advice of Mr. Duncan's.

The officers whose duty itis to conduct our elec tions may not at all times discharge that duty as impartially and tairly as they should. They are out men and may err as oiuer men uo. ve may ien icrrieved or iniared by their action; but as grod citizens and peaceable men it is our duty toacqnie-ce their action at all times. Tney are sworn to exe cute the law, and if fhey tail to do it, they are amen able to the law. can cnallenge the right ot any man to vote, and we can do no more.

If the judges npointed bv law authorise him to rote, we must ubniit. This does not need "brass knucks," and volves'tio "hazard. This it what a good cituen must do, and it is all he can do. This, then, is not what Mr. Dancan means; he means more than this; and to do more is to violate th? law, and establish dangerous and fatal precedent.

Here is (hi letter; we wish every good man and peaceable citizen, of both parties, to read it care fully, aud think of it seriously: Louxsvillb, Ky March 20, 1857. Editor Transcript: I have been shown -a late number of vour paper, in which you haye stated that I advised the use of brass-knacks in your conn -ty during the last Presidential campaign, and the carrying of lhc county at all hazards. I io not suppose that you design intentionally to misrepres sent me, ana 1 mere. ore aaaress you xnat you. may rrcct it.

No letter was ever addressed to me up on the bnt Mr. Prentice received one. Inch is now tne nanas 01 your townsman, II. Worthinirton. The writer stated that large-num- ers of illegal voters had been broutht into the couutv, and would rote, it not prevented, and mat lie ui'Sirea to procure some win uilu 0 resist tho.e liie.eel voters, it tney persisteu 'orce in offering their votes.

In reply to this, at Mr. Prentice request, 1 tated that I nercr had' seen' any, nor did Tknow the cost, or where to get the artiales, but if the prson would come or send to Louisvil'e, 1 would introduce him to some one of the foundrymen, who could put him in the way of getting them. Tad- ied him at an nazards to prevent niegai voting, and I am ready to give the same advice upon all ncrasions. Mv letter is still in existence, I presume, and 1 anuionse )tm iu jjuuiimi hcimci mm inter written to me which I sent to W. H.

VY orthing- on, some time since. 1 demand it as an act ot jus-ice, that you shall ei her correct vour statement. imhlish the whole of these letters, it has been bovowiI mrmfhn stnfifi thevTverp. written, but to the best of my recollection, I have given tbe purport of them. Very respectiuny, BLANTON DUNUAN.

There is a principle involved in this controversy not visible to the superficial observer; consequently the true position of the N. Y. E. R. R.

Co. cannotbe folly appreciated without a statement of some facts. In 1852 the N. Y. E.

R. Co. commenced to build a continuation of their track from Dunkirk to the Pennsylvania State line, to connect with a line already built from Erie to said State line, which was called the Erie Northeast Railroad Company, so familiar in the Harbor Creek war. The Buffalo Erie R. R.

Co. was organized, and were construe ting a rival lino to the same point, when the officers i of these lines accidentally compared notes, and found that the Erie Northeast Company had en tered into conflicting obligations with both lines for a connection. It was then deemed advisable by both parties to agree on a compromise guage, and build a union line to serve the int exeats of the New York Central and New York aud Erie.withoat prejudice to either, thereupon a contract was drawn up to suit all par-tiesi and signed and sealed by the proper officers of each company binding them to the following conditions: 1st. That the N. T.

E. R. R. Co. was to abandon the continuation of their line west of Du nkirk, and sell out all material already contracted for such liae to the Buffalo and Erie Railroad, which should be a consideration for certain privileges granted to tne tormer company.

Tbe uunaio and une Kail-road Company bound themselves to th running of a safficieot number of trains to do the -passenger and; freight traffic of the N. T. R. from Dunkirk, and if the ordinary trains run through from Buffalo to Erie would not accommodate the N.Y. R.R.

they should ran special trains both for freight and passengers, to and from Dun kirk and Erie and charce uniform rates per mile on their entire to refrain from any influence for or against eitber the Y. Central or the N. T- and. Brie; roads. The -N Y.

Central7 and the N. Y. Erioj roads binding themselves to nothing but. to refrain from any attempt at Dunkirk to influence or travel by either line. It was to take its natural course.

This is the sum and substance of the bond made in good faith; no conditions being contained therein restricting either the Y. C. or the tN. Y. R.

R. Cos, to any specific tariffs on their respective lines. Snbsrqaent to the date of this bond, the N.Y. E. R.

H. obtained a connection with BafiUlo through the Buffalo and New York City R. and applied to the Buffalo and Erie! Railroad Company for a connection at Buffa lo h(iving the same facilities extended to themXor, an exchange of passengers and freights as was givei to the N. Y. C.

R.R. ana th have been universally met with a reply our bond recognizes a terminus of the New York and Erie Railroad Company at Dunkirk, and thpreonly. This bond recognizes the right to the IS. Y. E.

R.R. Co. to make Buch rates as they see fit toandfrom Dunkirk and at uo other point in connection with the Buffalo and Erie Railroad. Thereupon the N. Y.

E. R. R. Co. have been compelled to act, acknowledging the validity of the said bond, and assuming this right they have en met the extraordinary manifesto, recently issued by the Buffalo and Erie Company to other companies whoso name and numb is lesion, to discontinue sales of capon tickets to Dunkirk, or any point east of -Dunkirk via- the New York A "Erie Railroad; also to charge same rate on freights and naasergersto DunKlrK as is charged to liunalo making rates for forty eight miles same as on eighty eight miles, thus diicriminating against the N.

Yl E. B. and in favor of the N. Y. C.

R. which is a complete violation of the bond and left the N.Y.& E. R.R. to seek its only remedy before a legal tribunal. So long as the N.

Y. E. R. R. Co is not recognized! and placed on a similar footing with the N.

Yi C. R. R. at Buffalo, by the Buffalo and Erie R. R- they cannot claim of the former Company more than is "nominated in the bond;" thfy can take the "ponud of flesh, but not one drop of blood." But th secret of all tbe trouble with the self sacrificing, magnanimous officers of the N.

Y.i R. R. who have the controlling interest the Buffalo Erie R. by ownimr a maio rity of the stock, and they have dared to assert that railroad contracts are made to be violated, and rather tha-i yield to the conditions of the bond and give to the Y. R.

R. Co. equal facilities with themselves over the Buffalo tE. R. tbev are ready to sacrifice not only this line, bnt some three thousand miles of railroad west and souths west of them.

If the present condition of thine-s to cjxist in all time, witboutremedy, the N. Y. might a3 well terminate forty-eight milrs east of Buffalo, and on the N. Y. C.

R. R. do their business west. Time and observation hive demonstrated that twosthirds of the revenue received by lines in the west and south-west, representing near two hundred millions capital, depends on a proper connection with the N. Y.

R. which is to New York city and the West what the main artery is to the human system. Cut oft, I and you cut on an avenue, which carrfeB three-fourths of the raffle to the West and Southwest, to and from New York city. Thon, ask, are all these lines ana the immense capital Inters aud tlie commercial interests of New York city to be sacrificed for the want of the immed iate completion of forty-eight miles of railroad, lobe rreed from a continuance of things as they existl it present. If so, let railroad companies as wel as individuals, bare their necks to this old and ar" rogant monopoly, and say we are willincr suhjects- Serious Facts.

Important Railroad Enterfhisi to Louis- ill I. -The following notice of an important rail road enterprise, we copy from the Rushville (la.) Republican of the 25th: We received last week the call for a meeting of the stockholders and those interested in the Sani dasky, Indiana and Louisville Railroad, to be held in Cambridge city on yesterday. We hope the mcetiug was well attended, and that a large amount of was aken.

The road is to commence at Sandusky, Ohio, and wil1 intersect with Union, to which place it is now finished, we believe, from thence with Cambridge city, Rushville, ShelbyvIIIe. Columbus, and then on to Louisville, Ky. We understand that Mr. Tyner, agent for the road, was in onr town on last Friday evening, and that a meeting of those interested its construction was held at Lewis Maddnxs offlcs some, talking was done, but no businesswe understand was transact ed. It is the intention so soon as the company get ortEaniieu to purchase the road from here to onei- bwille, and relay it at once "with rail.

The com pany also design negotiating: for, the Shelbyville ond Columbus a' might liae" road. There Is no oth er point in ihe State so destitute of nn outlet for its trade as this, and we hope our capitalists will lend their influence and meaus for its speedy con struction. Quite an interest is manifested here the construction of the road, and we are inclined to think thdtHhecitizeris-of our county txHl do their duty in the premises.

At cura Mason in decidedly the most favorable light. The following extract from the Maysville Exs press, however, gives us a clearer insight to the difficulty: Mison, it seems, had eharged that the Know Nothings had indirectly aided in the election of Banks Speaker of the last House of Representatives, they voting for Fuller, voted for Pennington, and Pennington for Banks, thus showing the sympathy which existed between the Kuow Nothings and Republicans. Cox asked Mason if he applied the charge to him, to which Mason replied that he did. Cox then said: "If I am charged with being an abolitionist, I pronounce it as base a falsehood as ever emanated from hell." what be haJd said a his speQches for eeVeral days In his rejoinder, Mason said he had only repeated past, aud which he believed to be true, and waa substantiated by the evidence. If it was not true, Cox had the ability and the power to disprove it, but that he sgemtd disposed to make a personal matter or it; that ue suowea a disposition to pro-, voke a personal difficulty, but when men wanted to fight, they did not usually select a place where they knew they would not be permitted to do so; that he bad too nrach respect tor the ladies present, as well as for the party of which he was a candidate, to have a personal difficulty there; that the attempt to provoke one under such circumstances, and at such a time and place, would not generally be con aidered an evidence of courage; that if the Captain was tired of political discussion, ortbongnt" heobuld make a personal controversy more profitable, he would accommodate him; that if he wanted a personal difficulty, it "as not far to the Ohio river across which they could settle such matters without disturbance or interruption; and that he considered the course adopted by the Captain as that of a braggart and a coward.

As the Captain felt agrieved at his charges, Mason was perfectly satisfied with his retort, and, of course, had nothing more to do. The mattrr dropped so; aud the canvass has since progressed pleasantly. Mason reiterates the oharge which the Captain eonsidered objectionable; aud as it is literally and strictly true, the Captain necessarily submits to it. Houses of Ill-Fame Dkstroved by a Mob in Detroit. The Detroit Free Press, of the 22d gives the following account of the late attack which a mob made upon houses of ill-fame in that city.

It says: The attack was made by a body of some forty or fifty nr-n, who are unknown, but are supposed to be inhabitants of the Ward, who have taken tbe law into their own mds in a very summary manner. They first attacked a dance house on the other side-of the Pontiac Railroad, uear Croghan street, and, driving the inmates out, proceeded to smash everything moveable in it, after which it was set on fire, and in a few minutes wu3 wrapt flames. Proceeding from thence to the notorious house kept by Charley Lawrence, a negro dance house of the descripti they entered and pitched into the inmates without mercy. A fight ensued, in the progress of which a man, one of the assail-1 was stabbed in the shoulaer by a girl, an inmate! of the house. All were driven out, however, aud the building fired and burnt to the ground be-fo the entrinci reached the vicinity.

From there the destroying mob took the way up Congress street, to a house kept by "French Jo," and entering, soon demolished everything in it, and set it on fire, after driving the inmates out into the street. Tuis was a small one-story building, and was soon consumed. It was the first building on the other side of tbe track. Crossing the bridge, the party then knocked in the door of a.house kept by "Iris! Lib." This is a large two-story house, and was ocenpied-bya Iargenumber of women, who, at the' first blow upon the door, took to "flight, and left everything at the mercy of the mob. door soon gave waT, and the crowd rushed in and effect-c-d a complete demolition of ever-, thing in the bouse Carpets were torn up, mirrors slashed, furniture of every description broken up and thrown ont of the' windows, which, were all kicked out.

The bedsand' bedsteads were thrown out into the mud, and, in fact, ihe house completely riddled. The intention evidently was to set it on Are, but so large a crowd bad been attracted by the other fires, that they were compelled to retreat to escape detection. By this time an immense crowd had gathered in tee vicinity of the Hat house, and the bridges, houses and fences were covered with thousands of human beings, who had gathered to see the fires and learn the cause of so general a breach of the usual ffood deportment oF our city. No arrests were msde of the perpetrators of the act. The Southben Pieinc Railroad.

We understand that at a bte meeting of the Board of Direc tors of this road, it-was resolved to purchase, forthwith, the iron necessary to complete the remainde the contract for seventy miles, entered into with Messrs. J. T. Grant which will extend th road forty-two railcsweit of Murshatl, in Texas. "rhe twenty-eight miles from the Louisiana line to Marshall fs to be completed so that the road, to that poiU', shall be ready for use by the of the coming year.

Under the contract, th" next forty-two mile's will be graded, ani read, lo receive the rails by the first of Janu-iry, 1359. Eighteen months, therefore, or thereabout-, nil) see this great work seventy miles on its way towards the Pacific, all ready for use and running hrough a most delightful section of cauutry, rich in all the qualities necessary to constitute it one ol the most productive agricultural regions in the Southwest. Long before the work already under contract shall have been completed, arrangements, now i-active progress, will bp so far perfected as to extend it still further iu its progress. Surveys have already been ordered, and are now making, over thre hundred miles mor-1 of the line, and it is expected that this will be finished by November next, aud al' be in readiness to be put under contract. This will carry the work to tho river Brazos; a great stride, indeed; and one that two or three years, at most, ibould- see accomplished, in the gigantic yet perfectly practicable march tothe shoresof the Pacific.

Tho following sales of real estate haye taiien place within a few davs; By O.

ugdon, Fleetwood Uo have sold 9 1,20 ,000 worth of property in this city siuce4the 1st Janu: ry last, and have standing offers tor as mucn ire.waicu they have net accepted. The Bonnet Business. Two towns in Hassa chusetts, Poxuoro and Franklin, manufacture every year twenty-five millions of ladies' bonnets. The Boston Traveller, in noticing this fact, says; Two towns thus furnish about one bonnet each for every man, woman and child in tbe Union. As the men do not wear bonnets, and the babies do not need them, these two towns must furnish every woman in tne lanu wttn two bonnets each a very good supply.

lheu think of the bonnets midc in other places, and say if it is surprising that the business is dull. May not one cause ot the unexpected prostration of this branch of trsific be found the large number ot bonnets manufactured? The market must be over tocked, and hence tbe larire qsantities of straw goods now on hand, while the Bale is over.
