Ilnrry Robinson’* Minstrels*
This company, entirely new to the Savan
nah amusement seekeis, were greeted by a
very fine audience on their first appearance
at our Theatre last evening.
We are pleased that wc can endorse the
high encomiums bestowed upon the
company by our contemporaries of other
cities. Their performance was first class in
every respect, and the house was kept in a
continual roar of merriment from almost
the opening to the close. We con
sider them one of the best minstr« 1
•ompanies that has visited Savannah, aud
in some respects rank well with Haverly’s
splendid band. McAllister aud Saddler, as
end men, have few equals, and tho singing
of the London quintette was capital.
Hi Henry, tho cornet player, is a
genius. The eqtiai of his solo wo have
never heard on tho stage—it was remarka
ble, and to bo appreciated must be heard,
iiarrv Robinson afford ed a fund of merri
ment by his magician feats, and won
derful aud daring performances on the tra
peze. But the feature of the evening’s enter
tainment was the performance of Mr. Harry
Kennedv, the wonderful ventriloquist. I\e
caudidly state, alter having heard innumera
ble professors of ventriloquism,that Kennedy
is champion of the stage. The exhibition
of his wonderful gift last evening brought
down tho house in most rapturous
applause. George Robinson in his
female impersonations is inimitable. He
possesses a fine voice, and knows exactly all
the airs and graces of a lively damsel. The
troupe is a ^ood one, aud we can say to our
readers that if they desire to spend a pleas
ant period tliev can do no better thau by
attending the Theatro this evening, the last
night of the troupe.

R. It. Bren, 21£ Bull street, and Mr. H. L.
Schreiner, opposite Johnson square, for the

brilliancy and splendor. We have witnessed
these celebrations in years gone by, and can
promise those who visit the beautiful city of
New Orleans a sight that they will remember
always. The arrangements for those who
desire to visit-the city on this occasion are
ol the most satisfactory character. Iarties

accommodation will be afforded parties of
fifteen or more, aud a through car will be

TheGrenl American HumoriM
We had a pleasant call last evening from
the advance agent of Josh Billings, the fa
mous humorist, who needs no introduction
to the Savannah public, as many of his trito
aud witty savings, coupled with wisdom, are
familiar as household words. Josh will
give some of his readings at the Theatre on
Tuesday night next, and we anticipate see
ing a crowded house, us there will be a gen
eral desire to geo and bear the cejebrattd
“worst speller of tho age” in propria per-
some. .
Concerning his anpearanco in Norfolk, the
Virginian says : “Last night Oxford Hall
was favored with the presence of America’s
greatest humorist in the person of Josh
Billings. It is unnecessary to say that Josh
was quite himself iu all his parts, and eon-
vubcd the house from time to time with
side-splitting laughter. To read a humor
ous saving or a quaint witticism predisposed
the soul to laughter, but to see the author
of it face to face, listen to his curious inter
pretation of it, and watch hia smiles aud
mimicrv, is to realise wit and humor in a
double ‘ capacity. Such a desideratum is
realized in the exhibitions of Josh Billings,
and it is not too much to say that few living
artists, either iu this country or in Europe,
will ever attain to such an elevated rank in
the same field of genius.”

TRI E TEMPERANCE.
The Subject lolelligemlv and Practically
Discaseed.
We have the pleasure of layiog before our
readers this moruing a very interesting dis
course, delivered by Rev. J. B. Reimensny-
der, before a largo congregation at the .
Lutheran Church, and which attracted
marked attention, and was listened to with i
deep interest. We have perused it care- •
fully with interest, and feel that we have
been instructed and profited thereby. The i
subject of temperance is discussed in a
calm, logical aud forcible manner,which must |
make a deep impression upon the mind of j
every intelligent reader :
‘And every mau hat strivoth for the
mastery is temperate iu all things.”—First
Corinthian, 9, 25.
Faul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, hero
holds up f jr cur admiration and for our
practice and imitation the virtue of temper
ance. Aud not only is it often alluded.to iu
terms of praise iu tho New Testament, but
especially at one place is it enumerated
among the nine cardinal or fundamental
Christian characteristics. In tho narratives
or the Old Testament likewise, ouch as in
the charge to temperance given to Aaron
and the priests, of the praise awarded to the
abstemious order of N&z&rites, and as the
health and favor shown to the simple tastes
and habits of Daniel and his three captive
companion.;,as also in such direct aud solemn
passages as that in Isaiah which declares of
drunkards that “their root shall be as rot
tenness, aud their blossom shall go up as
dust.” Is it not clear and emphatic as the
noonday suu that temperance is a pronounced
Scriptural duty, aud ibat all license, volup
tuous excess aud intemperance of whatever
kind are solemnly and severely forbidden
in the Holy Volume of God’s Word V
It only remains then that there be faith
ful pastors who shall preach the Scriptures,
aud there will b*» no want of testimony ou
the part of the church in favor of temper
ance. And, iu truth, tho church never has
and does not now evade her duty iu this
respect, but is bearing far more constant
and powerful testimony, and doing far more
effective work for temperance than all other
agencies and instrumentalities put together.
THE TRUE DEFINITION OF TEMPERANCE.
Its literal significatiou is a moderate and
judicious use of those thiugs which God has
ordained for health, vigor, usefulness aud
happiness. This sense the apostle here
illustrates iu his reference to the runner in
the Greciau games. When he says the
athlete was temperate ho alluded to that
preparatory discipline which for ten pre
ceding months he was compelled to un
dergo. And this discipline was one which
avoided both abstinence and excess. The
fare was simple aud moderate—not too little
aud not too much. The trainiug was an ex
ercise which alike guarded against the weak
ness of indolence, and its opposite, the in
jury of exhaustive fatigue. That t,hi-* judi
cious medium is what the apostle rataus is
evident from his counsels elsewhere given—
“Let your moderation be known uuto all
men.”’ “Be not drunk with wine wherein is
excess.” And such moderation did our
Saviour exemplify, who avoided the ascetic
habits of John tire Baptist, while rigidly
abstaining from the least semblauce of ex
cess.
Temperance, then, shuns notone extreme,
but both extremes. It maintains a prudent
mien between a rigorous and austere self-
denial and a voluptuous and guilty excess.
It does not denounce tire proper use because
of the sinful abuse. It does not set a limit
and check upon the good and valuable gifts
of God and improperly condemn them, but
it justly places tbe chuck where it belongs—
viz: upon the unbridled appetites of man,
ami upon that lawless license which over
leaps all the bounds of moderation. Total
abstinence, then, is not involved in
the true definition of temperance.
All things are good and right anil
proper iu their place, when used with a fru
gal, spariug hand, and when employed for
the legitimate purpose of their creation.
There is, however* an exception to this
rule. It is an exception not of right, but
of experience. It is based not upon a true
order of nature, but upon human weakness.
It is given by St. Paul thus:—“Through thy
knowledge shall thy weak brother perish.
But when ye so wound their weak con
science, ye siu against Christ. Wherefore,
if meat make my brother to offend, I will
eat no flesh while the world standeth.”
That is, there are cases iu which entire ab
stinence instead of temperance may bo de
manded, not by the inherent wrongfulness
of the thing, but lest by our example we
lead a weak brother, whoso prejudices and
infirmities expose liiui to danger, into an
excess which mav prove his ruin. In such
instances a Christian must rather deny him
self that which his own conscience fully ap
proves, aud which piety allows, than to do
any moral harm to a brother in Christ.
And his reason would be based upon this
apostolic maxim : “All things are lawlul
lor me, but all things are not expedient.”
Something therefore may be perfectly law
ful and allowable with a strong and well in-
fi-rmed brother, which would not be
exped ent in tbe presence of a weak one who
had not grown to the same stature of Chris
tian culture. But temperance is the law,
aud such abstinence the exception. The
occasions therefore when expediency de
mands total abstiueuce, in that of itself law
ful,cannot be specified or be made obligatory,
but belong wholly to the sphere of Christian
liberty, ami must be decided by each indi
vidual freely and conscientiously for him
self according to tho particular surround
ings and circumstances.
INTEMPERANCE IS A SIN AGAINST GOD.
It is a sin against His holy designs, be
cause He hag endowed us with all this won
derful!}* adjusted machinery of faculties,
and with this marvellously contrived body,
to the iutent that we may have rule over it
and keep it iu order, and reign over it as a
wise ruler governs a great kingdom. Aud
he then who, by intemperate excesses, mars
and disorders aud vitiates the fair and
goouly fabric of liis soul, violates the holy
designs of his Maker.
But intemperance is a sin against God,
moreover, because it manifests such an
ungrateiul want of appreciation of His gifts.
The Psalmist, contemplating these, cries
out: “How precious also are thy thought-*
unto me, O God ! How great is the sum of
thine! If I should cuum them, they are
more in number than the sand.” And when
a loving Heavenly Father has granted us so
many lawful pleasures, and such au abund
ance* of healthful -atisfact-ons for our vari
ous appetites, what an inexcusable siu of
ingratitude aud impiety is that disposition
which tramples under foot His laws aud
wounds aud despises His great name in order
to pluck forbidden pleasures aud to revel in
unhallowed joys.
And as every sin against God is followed
by the cuise, so is intemperance the fruitful
mother of evils and misery. Excess aud
guilty indulgence of whatever kind, weaken
aud dissipate the mental powers, shatter
the nerves, impair the health aud vigor of
the body, raise to au inordinate and uncon
trollable height the worst human passions,
and, as the inevitable consequence,
hasten on step after step the victim in the
descent of degradation, until incapacity
for business, the scoru of the community,
the destruction of the joys of home, and the
total loss of self-respect, complete the im
molation of that once noble being, whose
native dignity and excellence fitted him for
the dominion over the vast empire ot the
creation of God.
Such are the frightful evils with which
intemperance afflicts souls and families and
lands, innumerable instances of which, far
worse in their sad reality than any pen can
depict them, are all tho time occurring
around us, and have again aud again come
within the circle of our owu personal obser
vation.
THE TRUE SCOPE OF TEMPERANCE.
IIow grave and important then this sub
ject, aud in its further consideration let us
ask the true scope or field of temperance.
This, our text, thus specifies: “And every
mau that striveth for the mastery is tem
perate in all things.” Temperance is some
times confined iu signification to the use of
intoxicating drinks alone. This is indeed a
very important deuse, for it iu both one of
the lowest, most prevalent and most rnfnons
forms of injurious aud criminal excess, By
it manhood is dethrou. d, poverty aud crime
engendered, society debased, law and order
broken, tbe sanctity of the Sabbath pro
faned by crimes and brawls, penitentiaries
filled, eminent and shining talents re
duced to wreck, hopeful prospects for
life blasted; and more, tbo soul its If
made tbe prey of tbe wrath of God and
eternal death.* And therefore does it be
come society and Christians, and men and
womeu and youth, to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the Church iu her great and
holy struggle to resist the monster of intem
perance in his devastating course over the
wreck of all that is noble in the human in
tellect, and all that is dear in the hearts and
affections and firesides of the human race.
But “temperance in all things” is the
language of the apostle. So that wo mis
take the scope of this duty when we are very
ardent advocates for temperrnce in its one
sense of excess in wine and drunkenness,
while in many other things we are guilty of
equally criminal intemperance. In the gov
ernment and order, therefore, of the whole
man, in all our appetites, and in the use of
all our members aud powers, we must exer
cise this disposition of temperance. In the
indulgence of innocent and lawful amuse
ments we must be guarded, remembering
how they tend to beguile us into levity
and frivolity. In our proper estimate of the
usefulness and value of money, we must
beware of making au idol of Mammon. Iu
the use of the tongue, we should remember
tho admonition of St. James that, when car
ried away by intemperance, “the tongue is
a world of iniquity, that it defileth the whole
body and settoth on fire the couree of na
ture.” In our just opposition to wrong, we
should be wary aud prudent as serpents, for
eiporienfe demonstrates that gigantic *ys-
temsof ejil cannot be overthrown by sud
den, bitter and impulsive assaults^ but
rather yield to tho long-contiuuod and per
sisteut efforts of perseverance and modera
tion. In the depressions of griot and in the
transports of joy, we should give way to
neither extreme, tempering the one by a
sanctified resignation aud faith, and the
other by the prospect of revulsions »nd
trials to come • and eeen in religion itself we
must be controlled by a wise moderation.
For even here, perhaps, more than any
where else, is it true that an excess ot
ardor, an intemperate zeal and injudicious i
methods, react upon and retard God’s holy ;
cause, while conservatism in the end effects
tbe surest and steadiest progress. Yea, j
prudence, caution, propriety, order and
temperauce must characterize even our |
evangelical efforts for the conversion of
souls lest we draw upon our rashness the
solemn reproof of St. Paul to some intern- j
r rate religious enthusiasts of his (lay: “For i
Dear them record that they have a zeal of 1
God, but not according to knowledge.”
THE TRUE END OF TEMPERANCE.
“And every man that strivoth for the mas
tery is temperate in all things.” The ath
lete in the Grecian games was temperate ia
order that he might have the requisite en
durance to win the mastery in the race, and
first reach the goal, and secure the victor’s
prize. “Now,’'continuesthe apostle, “they
do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but- we
are incorruptible.” Tho crown in these his
toric games was a wreath gf olive, laurel or
nine, which was placed upon the conqueror’s
brow, while the vast amphitheatre tr mblcd
with applause. But soon this crown composed
of such perishable material would wither and
crumble to dust. Aud, so it is with many,
that they miss the true end of teraperauoe,
They are very moderate, strictly temperate,
govern themselves with a firm hand, and
repress in*a mould of iro.i even every na
tural affection; they strain the powers till
their very life is fairly worn out upon the
wheel; they-brave the hardships of unex
plored lands, or dare the perils of tho batte
field, but for what? For fame, for power, for
present triumph ; yea 1 only for a
corruptible crown, soou to wither and die.
Bu the true end of temperance is that its
object be au incorruptible crown. Religion
is its proper aud rightful aim. This, In
deed. is a high ambition, worthy of tho soul
wearing God’s image, and for this end
should we strive for tho mastery, aud
crucify all weakening aud injurious lusts,
and guard agaiustall excesses, all extremes,
aud all turnings aside fr m the one great
aim—namely, that we succeed in the race
for eternal life, that we become heirs of the
heavenly kingdom, that wo emerge from
death’s dark door upon the shining moun
tains of Paradise, that the Hon of Man
place the diadem of salvation on our brows
—yea! that wo obtain an incorruptible
crown, whose lustre shall pass not away
while st .nds tho throne of God and while
the heavens eaiure. Finally:
THE TRUE MEANS TO TEMPERANCE.
This St. Paul answered ia Galatians, where
he classes temperance with such distinc
tively Christian dispositions as Love, Faith,
Goodness, and explicitly declares that it
is the “Iruit ot the Spirit.” And this we
may learn also from the etymology of the
word, for according to its derivation it
signifies a ruling and ordering of that
nothin, a bridling of natural impulsive tem
pers and affections, and we kuow the do
main of the Spirit is within us, where, as
written in St. Johu, He is to set up His
temple ami rtign and abide forever.
It follows, therefore, that temperauce is
not a moral virtue, but a Christian grace.
The means to attain it then are not by
natural resolve, or human sirength, or un
aided moral effort, but as it is the fruit, the
product, the direct work of the Holy Ghost,
so true temperance, a temperauce which
will bo a genuine aud lasting reform, a tem
perance not iu one but in all things, so that
it embrace and win the incorruptible crown
of iife, must come alone from the Holy
Ghost—must come alone through those
meaus aud instrumentalities by which Ho
works—must come alone from the agencies
aud ordinances which pertain to the King
dom of God and are clothed with divine
potency, i. e. must come from the Word and
Sacraments of the Holy Church of Jesus
C-irist the Lord. The Church, therefore,
with all her regenerating and redemptive
and sanctifying agencies is the true,efficient
and sole moans of temperauce. And iu this
great, blessed and vital cause, ail huinau
orders, unsauetified methods aud man
made pledges must surely fail. Tho devil
of intemperance is one that can a one be
cast out by tho living God. Satan hero cau
snap in twain like flax all weapons save the
sword of Jesus Christ.
Let, then, the poor victim of intemperance
who seeks to break the terrible spell that
crushes body and soul, but cannot, resort
alone to that new nature, that divine power
and that complete regeneration, which
come by faith in Jesus, and by the gilt of
the Holy Ghost, and to his unspeakable joy
He shall find at iast that he is saved, saved
for himself, for his family, aud for his fel-
iow-mau, yea! saved for time aud eternity.
Aud let tho Church and all Christiaus every
where take hold of this great work, aud in
the prayerful use of that all-powerful aud
all-conquering agencies with which God
has so richly furnished His kingdom, go
f‘>rth and cease not their warfare until
this misery, disease, death-dealing, and
home-destroying, and eoul-s!ayiug demon
of intemperance be altogether cast out of a
world which he has so often transformed
from a lovely image of Eden to a very pro
totype of hell.
The Ficih and Oyster Law.
Editor Morning Hews:
Iu yesterday’s issue of your paper there
appears an article signed “Justice,” who
evidently has but little knowledge of the
class of people engaged in the carrying on of
fishfbg, hunting and bird catching on our
coast. For his edification I will state, and
believe all fair minded citizens will agree
with me, that this business is not so profit-
ab’e, but incurring more downright hard
ship and labor thau living ou a fat salary iu
public office, sniffiug the aroma arising from
imaginary oyster beds at Wilmington, Bon-
na Bella aud elsewhere, and calling on the
Legislature for protection, in au ingeniously
drawn bill, restricting hundreds of poor
men from making a living, thus depriving
their families of tbe bread the Almighty has
in his goodness bestowed, being a well-
known fact that “Justice” never created
fish aud oysters. For the eulighteumeut of
“Justice," the writer will state there is not
a more industrious, hard-worffing class of
people in existence tuan these so-called
pests of the seaboard (using his language),
aud it is to protect them I raise the cry of
warning, in time, I hope,to stop the passage
of any law which is solely intended to pro
tect “Justice” and rich men, and exclude
this poor, hard-working class of people.
I raise no “objection” to a bill beiug
passed to protect parties in their planting
of oyster beds; ou the contrary, believe such
a law to bo beneficial, but ’ the public at
large want no law passed which will allow
the iudiscrimiuate stacking off of miles and
miles of marsh lauds, excluding those pests
of the seaboard from carrying on their
living honorably; therefore, let the law state
distinctly that the stakes shall be set ou the
ends of each oyster bed, and this will save
all trouble. Tbe effect of such law being
passed, as at present understood by me, is
to throw* the control of the oysters on this
coast in the hands of a very few people
who, with this monopoly, would be likely to
make our citizens, aud as a consequence,
the interior also, pay handsomely for their
ovsters. Fisherman.
COTTON.
4frtitt2ws.
Keview of the Past Week.
At aboat the close of oar last review, sava
the New York Bulletin ot the 13th, a gener
ally heavy feeliDg was developed upon the
market, and this continued some two or
three days. Liverpool has gune off another
1-16J, with the cable bringing nothing very
encouraging ; the receipts were running
quite as full as had been calculated upon ;
the accumulated stocks at tbe South were
Known to be pressing for sale in many cases;
shippers at this point were indifferent, and
the business in spots limited, while the
“bulls” generally could present no stimula
ting points, and many were free to acknowl
edge that they |saw no encouragement for
tho time being. Values, therefore, naturally
gave way, and had not the fear of being
caught “short” at ruling rates, which natu
rally extends at every decline, a more seri
ous break, it ia thought, would have taken
place, as the influences were ripe for it.
Operators, however, put out cotton very
cautiously, tha principal sellers being
those on the look out for a quick
turn, and they, as usual, were
about tho first to run iu and
cover as soon as anything like a reactionary
tendency was shown. This came about the
middle of the week, when the foreign tele
grams steadied up a little, the receipts at
the Atlantic ports wore showing smaller
and smaller, and estimates for New Orleans
commenced to be reduced. The inquiry for
a time was pretty lively, in part to provide
against contracts and in part, it was as
serted, merely a “ bull ” movement of a
temporary character, taking advantage of
the little scare to squeeze an additional frac
tion or two for fresti short sales. Operators
for a rise held the advantage until Friday
afternoon, when, after an advance of 3-32c*.
for the day, values suddeuly fell back 1-lGc.
ou a construction of the figures from the
interior towns as indicating larger receipts
for the coming week.
Few really new features or theories have
been brought out during tbe week, the
market simply remaining in tho same un
certain condition so loDg noted. Sensitive
to almost a breath, prices change about at
times iu au almost unaccountable manner,
while operators are still to be found blow
ing hot or cold as the market varies. The
fears of tho “shorts” have two or three
times during the past fortnight given mat
ters the semblance of hardening, but at no
time has any ad vance been fully or long sus
tained, and we think that at the present
writiug a want of faith in cotton prepon
derates. Pretty much all estimates of
the crop exceed four and a quarter million
bales ; the supplies in sight are full as
compared with the very slow and
cautious consumptive demand ; the foreign
markets and especially Liverpool, show
no vitality, and our rates here fur actual cot
ton are far above anything which will give a
margin. Indeed, it is claimed there is no
outlet to which New York could ship aud
not make a lo.-s, and that nearly every do
mestic point of distribution, and even some
of consumption, can send cotton here and
receive a pront. The main arguments in
opposition to tho believers iu limer prices
are the repetition of the claim that values
have already shrunk to the full extent war
ranted by the situation, aud that the insig
nificant run of receipts during the last half
of the cotton year are to fully restore the
‘bulls” all the advantage they now lack.
The business in “epots” during the week
has been irregular, but not of unusual
large aggregate. Some few purchases have
been made for export, understood to be
nearly all on Continental account, though a
few lots were taken for Liverpool on orders.
Very few shippers, however, have been in
terested enough to pay much attention to
the i»oaition, or eveu to make a bid, as aside
from running above a parity of the
market abroad, a good supply, except
ing snecial qualities, could bo obtained
at any time through “short no
tices.” These notices have been *at
times very freely offered, aud down as low
as 12 23-32c, but about the only sale was for
fixed dates where they could be used to
good advantage ou speculative manipula
tion. Our spinners havo been moderate op
erators, and generally figuring close on both
quantity and quality. The offering of sup
plies has been made in such manner as to
prevent pressure, but there was always
enough aud to Bpare for good, positive buy
ers likely to take stock out of the market.
Prices declined early l-16c, aud then recov
ered again on the official figures, but these
rates are considered by many of the trade
as merelv nominal.

A Sii«gefttion to the Nervous,
Robust people, who have, all their lives, eaten,
digested and slept well, can scarcely be expected
to appreciate the blessing of strong nerves as well
as those who, having undergone all tbe misery
entailed by weak ones, have eventually regained
t^eir nerve power. In order to experience the
unspeakable relief ol a change from an enfeebled
and unrestful to a vigorous and tranquil condition
of the nervous system, the nervous invalid should
try a course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
Under the bracing an i soothiag influence of that
benign touic and nervine, appetite returns, diges
tion becomes complete and paiuless, and sleep
revisits weary eyes. The causes of nervous weak
ness are to be found in imperfect digestion »nd
assimilation, and the feeble performance of other
vital functions resulting the.efrcm. The Bitters
remove these causes as well as the nervous symp
toms which they produce.
