You do not regret that you have signed the “Pledge,” that you have fob lowed the csx tuple of your coble an- ! '■'esters. For when the dark cloud was hanging over oar infant colonies, when the red ha. id of war wns ready to pour forth blood and carnage, and when the deep-toned voice of a Ilenry was heard, from one end of the colonies to *he other, that war must be declared, and when it was declared what was the issue? Fifty-six grev headed vet erans signed the following pledge: “And fertile support of this decla ration, with a. firm reliance upon Di vine Providence, we, mutually, pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred | honor. * A noble example for ns all to follow, . and I hardly think there is one young man here, who regrets that hi? signed a ! declaration of war between the angel i of peace and plenty, and the arch fiend ' i >f misery and want. : To the young lathes, I worth l say a word before cl wing. You who exorcise snch sweet, such mild, and therefore, such heavenly influence on mankind, we want your help. Ladies, we are en gaged in a glorious warfare. It is one of extermination, we ask no quarter, j we give none. Our enemy is Intemp erance—that is, any use of ardent spir its ns a drink. Our weapons are smiles, tears, persuasion, and entreaty, j Our field of battle extends as far as the broad canopy of heaven, the particu lar post we occupy, is our own coun try. Our strong-hold is our own com munity and our own village. Will yon engage for us, or for our enemy ? There is no neutrality in this warfare, j you either drink no ardent spirits, or you drink a little. If you drink any, vau are against as. If you drink none, i vou arc for us, aud if you are for as, with all the heart, there is victory sure. , For vonr influence is great, it is ines timable and will remain so. until every man on earth becomes a Turk, a Pa-j gan or a drunkard. If you are against j us, we cannot succeed. For we can not. if we would, resist vonr influence, ! and would not, if we mold. In the or.s* t, we only ask the charity, native j to the heart of woman, which, like the j bright calm smib ° -f the sun. throw ing a mm:t oof comfort over the world, mid the contest, would be easy to us. Say not this influence of woman is in-, f-ff’eicrif, for remember, this influence j has stayed the raging battle, find again rrdonl led its rage. By the influence of Mary cf England, “Bloody Mary," torrents of Christian l flood was made to flow to satiate the vengeance of Dominican Friars. Through a Cath arine de Medici, seventy-five thorts.aud Christians perished in one day. Helen 1 htd Trov dismantled, and through i Esther’s influence the whole Jewish : nation was saved. From these exam ples, and thousands of others, we have j it demonstrated that woman’s influence is one of the moot potent allies that can he enlisted in any cause, whether j religions, political, social, or moral.— Yes. by the aid of the ladies, we hope to revolutionize the mend condition of the world, and we all hope, sooner or later, in the history of humanity, that j there will not be one voice to hail the beirg of alcohol. W & hope, that like the phalanksof Macedon, naught will ' remain but, the mouldering records of history. We have that strong hope which enables the Christian to meet with a smile, the foe of mankind.— Strong as the hope by which the soul. I in bright anticipation, leaps into Life eternal; and where there is hope, : ’ there is courage, it is the beacon that guides us on oar pathway through this j . uncertain stage of life, md well may we exclaim, in i aptare, with the Poet: -Eternal hop*. when yonder sphere sublime Pealed their first notes to sound the march of time. Thy joyous yonth begun, but not to fade When all thy sister planets have decayed. , Rapt in fire, the realms of ether glow, : And Heaven's last thunder shakes the world ! * below, Then undismayed shall o'er the ruins smile. And light thy torch at nature's funeral pile.'’ And with ihis hope, we are determin ed, live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish, to keep an eye steadily fixed upon the boon which is, eventually, to lead the human family to universal temperance —the happiness of the na tions of the earth. fittr “Why don’t you limit yourself?’ said a pbysit l m to an intemperate per son. ‘>* t down a stake that you will fost.far and no farther.

The editor of this paper, before taking his departure fur Gilmer county, seated us in the editorial Chair, and bade us occupy it until he returned.— We beg to l>e excused from attempting to comply with his request,we were not cut out for an editor, in the first place, and in the second, we have no desire or aspiration for editorial honors, and if we did, we are fully convinced, ns will also be the readers of the Express this week, that wc would come out at the “little end of the bon.,” if left to ourself. New, in view of this state things, and the fact thet it retpvres a small amount of brains in a fellow’* cranium to qualify him to discharge arig-ht the duties devolving upon an ; editor, can any body blame us for i entering onr solemn protest agonist making the attempt ? Echo answers, “nary time.” Now, if we knew that we were the only one who ever tried to edit a newspaper, without the re i qubsite supply of brains, we would most certainly decline, but as there aie many sueh wit in a the bounds of our knowledge, wc can make the effort with much less reluctance than if i brains was made the whole considera i tion. But thi* is not the only qualifi cation, ia which we are deficient. To be a good editor, one must necessarily ■ have a natural turn for lieing, slander ing, &c\; he must have the brass of ; old “Nick,” and take sides with the party that will allow him the greatest remuneration. lie must have the nerve and the face to ask a man to sub scribe for his paper, whom, perhaps in the last issue, he has abused for every thing he could possibly think of. This :s only a few of the qualifications that are essentially necessary to fit a man to fill the office of an editor and make it profitable to himself. Now, we do not thii k that there is an editor South of Mason’s and Dixon’s Line, with but a , very few exceptions, who ii. s thebib. They are all too honest, have to > mnea legard for the truth, and right, and ; labor too much for the mutual good of ail; but go North of that line, -=nd you , can find them with all these, and many more, which we forbear mentioning.— It is not necessary for us to name any I of them, as the Southern people know them, and. from sad experience, know that we have not accused them wiong fully. But to proceed with our anticipated editorial career, we will say that to be aware of the fact that yon are an edi tor makes a fellow feel monstrous big. and hugely important, as we can no doubt prove by ‘King Hans,’ the use-to ixj traveling correspondent of the At lanta o onstisution, as he is now real izing and enjoying these feelings, from, die ■ ssurance of the fact that he is oeeu pving the position of Associate editor of the Borne Courier. But we feel much b'tjffr than he possibly can, in fact, we have a right to feel so, be cause we are “Chief” editor, and he plays “second fiddle” to Mr. Dwinell. As “King Hans” is a delicate and tim id young man, and not wishing to say anything calculated to wound his feel ings, we forbear further comment up on him, and go on to state, that we are very /mpathr.tly awaiting the ar rival of a Circus Show. Menagerie. Theater, ‘Black Crook/ ‘White Fawn,’ or a “Garriscotas”—; nythiug in the shape of a show; we want somethixig to turn up, that will give n* a sh >w ing at “puffing,” and imagine that we coulcl do full justice to a show. — But this is not the only reason we have in wanting a show tc come- —we want to add something to onr finances, as well as to onr name, by occupying the chair editorial. “Adas ! poor yor iek!” air heart almost sinks within us. when we ; hi:.!- of adding anything to ei ther' The thought is sickening, and discortrii.g to a veteran editor, who is to some exb nr, used ho such emO.-.i-r. .'-sing ci’--'urcst' iters*, to say noriuag of one »> young, and so m u t-d to tucui s* we are. But we are not goi- gto give up, we arc* g*uug to (fi t after fash ion; we are bent on making a name whether ’ e ru ike * ny mciiey o: not. — As to w hat kind of a name, it will be, we ciua.cC foretell, but are inchued to tfu opinion that it wfil t.ol reflect much credit upon the cihtariai frater nity. However, we will l ave this to be decided by disinterested parties. eeT* On last Saturday afternoon, the dull monotony of the day was dis persed by the playing of several soul-, stirring pieces, by our Band. We are glad t i know that the bovs have made ; such rapid progress in the art of mu sic, and that our citizens appreciate their endeavors to add something to tlu attraction of our town. While | th-y were playing, one of Africa’s sa ble sons, who had partook of a little too much of the “over-joyful," became iso murk “over-joyed" that ho could not e ntrol himself, and created quite a sensation. Here’s where the boys come “in again,” and they never fail to i act their part well; we always dtd like t sharp boys, and boys who know a good deal more than their parents, but we are free to confess that the Cartersville : Iktvs please us ewtfro’v too w * Li.

M a Editoe—l desire to say a few words through the columns of your ; paper, concerning the deportment of young ladies and gentlemen, and little ' boy 4, at Church. It is not my intention to say any thing, to wound their feelings, nor is it through any feelings of disrespect, that I allude to it, but merely to make them more cautious in the future. We have noticed, for some time, the almost ridiculous manner, in which these nnthonghted young people cou- Juct themselves, during divine service, and we are sorry to say, that it is con ! fined almost entirely to females, and i that they are generally the wives and daughters of ministers. Now, we do j not say that they act in this manner purposely, or out of any disrespect to the minister, or from any bad mo tive; but notwithstanding all that, it Joes not justify them, in the least, nor docs it detract one ioto from the i looks of the thing. Two Sabbaths ago, while the liev. Mr. Pierce was administering the Ordinance of Bap tism to a number of young converts, we noticed two young ladies laughing and talking, daughters of pious parents, too. We know these young ladies did this unthoughtedly, never once dream ing how very bad it looked, and not , thinking how many eyes were upon them. Now young ladies, let this be the last time you are guilty of talking aud laughing in Church, it is no place for hilarity. Vv e hope and trust that this is the last time this anonymous correspondent will have cause to speak of it; however, he will be at Church every Sabbath, and will, most assured ly remind you of it, every time he catches you misbehaving. One word more, in reference to the | youths whose upper-lips are in mourn ing for the want cf brains, and the young men, who flatter themselves I that they are handsome and fascina i ting, and last, but in their opinion, : not least the little boys, who congre gate in front of the Clinch doors on Sundays, and stare at the ladies and Misses, as they pass in Church.— We know why they do this, and know, moreover, that they are badly duped. They do it, confidently believing , that they wi 1 not fail to attract the ; notice of some dashing young lady, and that she will “cast a sly. glance at them.” Eoys, your are out of it! If | they do happen to lock towards you, we’ll venture that if yon could inter pret it, you would find, to your cha grin, that it was by no means one of approbation, but to the contrary, one l of rebuke, and utter indifference. — Why, they don't give you credit of being : as “putty” as you really are, if you are ' sillv enough to think that every one who looks at yon is in love with you. ; This is all so, boys; so govern your selves accordingly, and when you go I Church, go in the house, that’s the 1 place where we usually have preach i ing, not outside or in the vestibule.— ; How many will be in front of the doors next Sunday? Well be there ! to see. “Tell-Tale. Egv, A party of Indians passed through town last week, en route fur the Indian nation. We did not learn what tribe they belonged too, or where they hailed from. They spent several hours with ns, during which time, one the number, whose thirst for “Fire-water,” seemed almost insatiable, indulged most too freely, and by the time he took his Je ryirturo, was in a very jovial mood. — ILe “Young America's,’ alias Little boys, os usual , were unhand and seem ed to enjoy themselves hugely, by wit nessing the fantastic pranks of this inebriated youth of the Forest. are glad to see that the mer chants, doing business on the street running paraleJl with the railroad, are having the side-walks in front oi their houses paved, commencing at the corner of Messrs. Stokelv A William’s building, or. Maine street, and termi nating at the one occupid by Mr. Nathan Howard. This is right, and every merchant in town should “fol low suit.” Don't wait for the Town Commissioners to do it, for if’you do, we fear you will not get them paved soon, as it takes all the funds they can raise to keep the streets in good condition. _ ! A wise old gentleman, who knew all about it, on retiring from business, ' g ive the following sage advice to his son and successor: “Common sense, ibj son, is valuable in all kinds of bus iness—except love making.” A good family newspaper is n ne cessity which every intelligent family wiU have.

The problem now to be solved is, where is that labor tube had? and | the first question springing out of that j problem is the adaptability of the ! Chinese. It is admitted that an amply supply of them can be obtained on moderate ; terms; that they are industrious and apt to learn any business you may put them at, and that as a general act : they hold their engagements inviolate. It is objected that they are dirty and thievish; in neither of these ob jections, do I see any objections that |do not apply in fu 1 force to the ne \ groes. and will venture the assertion, j that if you can make eyes a maiketable article you may drop a score of them down in any district in the "United States, and before the first court day not a single copper-snonted rogue of the entire colony, would have an eye in his head, by the first court day to light him the way to the law ground. It is true they are more open in their roguish practices, and fix up then ras calities more clumsily, than onr own scoundrels, and they have acquired more reputation for filching. A remarkable instance of their care lessness, to appearances, occurred while I was in China, which will make my meaning clear. Han Chew and | Fum Foo, live in. or near one of the interior towns. Han Chew had mon- I ey and Fnm Foo was believed to have i some sense. Han Chew furnished tue money, and Fum Foo went to Canton and pur chased a Stock of Goods. In dne course of time, the goods arrived, at Carloo, neatly boxed up, and very clearly dhectvd to Chew & Foo at Carloo. They continued to do busi ness for two or three fears, hid their furniture marked Chew 6c Foo; the goods from Canton all came marked Chew 6c Foo. They made out ac counts and collected money for Chew 6c Foo, and every person in, and around Carloo knew them as partners uuder the name of Chew A Foo. In about three years the concern busted up - Chew’s money was all gone, and Chew 6c Foo in dtbt inC an ton, some thous ands. They proenred a friend to bring a suit against them for a few copper coins; Doth went into Court, and swore they were not partners, and had never been partners, and so had the case decided.

Richmond, Va., October 7. —lu the Senate the protest of the Republican caucus against the legality of the body was taken up an t read at length. It announces that the Republican mem bers reserve to themselves the right at any time to secede from the legislature and organize by themselves a legal and loyal legislature. The Senate voted to lay it on the table. In the discus sion a Republican said he regarded those who joined in making this pro test as representing the administration and Congress until the President and Congress should decide otherwise. It was announced that General Can by had replied to the committee of tiie legislature which waited on him that he had no communication to make. Governor Walker sent in a message on the Fifteenth Amendment. He -a vs:—'The people of this Common wealth at the late election, by an over whelming majority, accepted and I adopted the principle sought to be in corporated into the Federal constitu tion by this amendment, xiz: the civil and political equality of all men before the law. The well known honor and integrity of the people of Virginia for bids even the supposition that they would fail to faithfully adhere to ami maintain, while necessary and possible r any principle to which they had yield ed their adherence. Virginia always fulfills* in the most ample good faith, all her pledges; but our people by this action have not oulv pi iced the poiit : ical rights of all our citizens upon a ! firm and enduring basis, but they have accomplished much more; they have increased the prospective power and influence of our State in the nation’s councils by broadening the basis of representation under the Fourteenth article of the Constitution of the United States. When in any State the right of suffrage is abridged, except for crime the basis of representation must be re duced in a corresponding proportion. Although we have wisely settled this question, so far as our State is con cerned and banished forever from the theatre of State polities this prolific source of irritation and discord, then is reasonable ground for apprehension that if the fifteenth Amendment should fail of adoption, as a part ol the Federal constitution, our State mat he flooded with, and the control tbereol pass to the hands of, a class of emi grants from the great States lying apor or near our borders, who will seek the enjoyment of these civil and political rights accorded to them here, but de nied to them there. Self protection, j therefore, demands that we do om part towards securing the ratification } of thi-.t amendment. Our interest* require it, onr faith is pledged to it.” I*e eousuit-rs the election of Sena tors clearly a requisite to admission,! and adds: “Complete restoration isj accomplished by admission to repre- j sentation in Congress, and there can be no question that admission to rep resentation Bifiy, to »-me extent, de pend upon tl>e representatives elected, j while the election of Senators would fully complete every preparation nec- 1 essary for the the prompt admission of! | the State to representation to both* I Houses of Congress. The election of ; \ suitable men for these exalted poei-1 i tions would unmistakably demonstrate ; ; the sincerity of our past action and af- j | ford a sure guarantee of our intentions * and purposes for the future.” Ia conclusion, he says:—“Permit me | to congratulate you upon the progress | already made towards the restoration jof the State to civil government. Its : good effects are already visible every where within the State; confidence is j being restored, commerce is reviving, mining and manufacturing enterprises ; are being organized, capital is seeking I investment iu onr public improvements 1 and in our rich agricultural and miner al lands, and above and more gratify ing than all. joy and hope are taking the place of gloom and despondency, 1 peace and prosperity are once more 1 dawning upon onr devoted land.” “Conscious of the rectitude of our j own acts, motives and intentions, and j relying upon the continued favors of ! the Almighty disposer of human events, let u? all manfully grapple with the living present, and confidently hope for a glorious future for the Common , wealth.” Respectfully, (Signed) Gilbert C.
