"Wo find tliu following in an old English paper, from a speouh delivered l>y Mr. Coop er, at a meeting of tlie Order, of Greenock, 1 Scotland. Mr. Cooper ftaid : - < 4'Tlie origin of the Qfiifcr of ()d(i-'Kcllows I i-? of very great antiquity. It was osial>- I lished by the Koman soldiers in tin* camp i during the reign of Nero, in the year 55. At that timo they were "Fellow-Citizens." The present name was given them by Titus CiL'sar iu the year 79, from the singularity | of their meeting, and from their knowing i each other by night or day, and by tljeirji | country. Ami lie not only gave them the 11 | name of Odd Kellows, l>utat tin: same time, i as a pledge of friendship, presented them * witli a dispensation, engraven on a plate of I I gold, beating diUerent emblems, such as the I sun, moon and stars, the lamb, the lion and ] I the dove, and other emblems of mortality. | i The lii*;t. account of the Order being 1 spread in other countries is in (he tilth ecu- ; Utrv, when it was established in the Span- i isli dominions, and in the sixth century by I King Henry in Portugal, and in the eleventh I century it was established in Franc, and afterward by John I>e Xeville, in England ! attended l?y live Knighst from Francce, who | formed a Loyal CJrand Lodge of lion- 1 j or in London, which Order remained until ; i me iwciiui century, when :i part of them i began to form themselves into a union, and ' a portion of them remain up to this day? < the Lodges, which are now very numerous j throughout the world, and call themselves ( th<k Loyal Ancient Odd Fellows, being a "1 portion of the original body- i The Manchester Union is of a more le- i cent date, although tbero is no doubt of its emanating form the same source. Its first introduction into Manchester was about the year 1800, by a few individuafS^from the Union in London, who farmed themselves into a Lodge, and continued in connection with them for some time, when some difference caused them to declare themselves independent, and thus have kept their work independent." From Texas. A meeting was held in Houston on the Gili, tor the purpose of raising men and ' means to aid Nicaragua. Resolutions, syin pathising with the Walkcr-Rivaa Government, and announcing attachment to the Monroe doctrine, were adopted. A letter to the Corpus Christi Advertiser, dated Laredo, May 28, says: *?* "On the 21st instant, the report reached us that a part of red skin thieves were in uur Mining, wii<jii six ci our most respec- i tabic citizens started in pursuit, resolved to do or die." Tliey came up with the Indinus (fifteen in number) on the 24th, near llonia, when and where a sharp and' sanguinary engagement took place, which resulted favorably to our party, notwithstanding the disparity of numbers. Six Indians were made to bite the dust?sent to the spirit land?nnd thee others were taken prisoners. ^ All the stolen property was also recovered. Our party had one killed (Juan-' Gonzales) and two severely wounded. The Nacogdoches Courier, of the 3d inst., says: ' . Gen. Iiusk is still at home. He has had < a very severe attack of illness since his return, which together with the effect of the sad bereavement ho has experienced will prevent his early . return to Washington. ; 4l .!

Keller to Mr. Crow, which has just been given to the world, contains a confession of his own guilt and wrong, and that of the party which he has so largely contributed to mislead and seduce ii to rebellion and treason in Kansas. Here is this precious confession: "As to putting a set of laws in operation in opposition to the Territorial Governmentmy opinion is confirmed instead of being shaken. My predictions have all been verified so faiy.and will be in the future. We will be, ijqpTar as tl ie legality is concerned, in the wrong, and that is no trifle in so critical a state ot' things; and iipview of such bloody consequences, it wijlbij nn invitation to the 'powers to be' to bring down the Missourians upon us, in tire assumed character of vindicators of^the law. What con sinuate tolly is there not in such amove? Vott will have seen Pierce's message. Suppose we had occupied the ground a wished, of the mere adoption of the constitution and the election of officers only, for the purpose of applying for admission, what ground would Pierce have to stand on, or how much of his message would have Been ? He is not the only man who is backward and lukewarm towards us. For this reason they say they cannot sustain us in the position of resistance to the Territorial Government, and you will find, I think, that Douglas will also take that ground; but I want you to understand me distinctly that I do not talk thus publicly to our enemies. I may speak my plain and private opinion in letters to our friends in Kansas, for it is my duty; hut to tjte public, as you will see by my pulic letter, I show no divided front." ^ ? St. Louis, June 24.?A letter to the Republican from Woatport, dated the 17th, states that Col. Sumner, after driving out I'uford, Jones, Shelby, and many men from Missouri^ had blockaded the roads leading into the Territory, and declared that no more armed men should enter except over dead .bodies of his trooj>s.

Fremont was nominated by the Hlack i Kepubublieans to-day on the first ballot .us i their candidate for President. At an informal ballot for Vice President, Dayton, of Now Jersey, had 259 votes ; Lincoln, of Illinois, 110; VVihnot, 43 ; Hanks, 20; Sumner, 3:"); and scattering, 58. The names of Messrs. Sumner, Wilson, Hanks and Wilmot were then withdrawn, and Mr. Dayton nominated on the first ballot as the candidate of the party for Vice President. The resolutions adopted eulogize the Constitution and the Union?declare it the duty of Congress to prohibit slavery in the Territories?condemn the administration for its persecutions in Kansas, favor the admission of Kansas as a free Stale?favor the Pacific rail road, river ahd'harbor improvements?and extend general invitations to all free State nvn to join hearts on terms of perfect equality. Significant Signs.?Among the significant signs of the times is the fact, that everywhere old Whigs who have maintained an independent altitude hitherto, declare their determination to support the Democratic. ]'residential ticket. In this city (says the Detroit Free Press) and throtlgh the State wc have already heard of many such. The Huston Courier says : "The 1 )emoerats of our city ami State, Hin] of all tlie New Kngland States, including New Hampshire, receive tlie nomination of ^1 r. liuchanan for the oflice of President, witli the most exulting exhibitions of joy ami satisfaction. We hear some open ami straight old fashioned Whigs say that they will vote for liini."

We will pay ?50 in gold to the person who will accept the proposition nnd 'put up the money, or the. same amount to any one who will bring such a customer to this office. Here's a glorious chance for sanguine Iv. X.'s to invest." A Bad Witness.?The witness who went North and made the statement that lie saw Mr. Keitt standing near, during the Sumtier assault with a pistol under his coat is thus noticed byHhe Providence (II. I.) Post: The Dr. 1'unting who makes the statement is an imposter, swindler and villian, altogether too well known in this city to need an extended notice from us.
