. may be thwarted In all roar aspira
tions. 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:

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.

GENJ P- M. B. YOUNG,
of b.u:tow.
2TfB. 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.

we arc* g*uug to (fi t after fash

whether ’ e ru ike * ny mciiey o: not. —
As to w hat kind of a name, it will be,

nity. However, we will l ave this to

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

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

toQxmuiilcdlcil.
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

what tribe they belonged too, or where
they hailed from.
They spent several hours with ns,

whose thirst for “Fire-water,” seemed
almost insatiable, indulged most too
freely, and by the time he took his Je

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

Commissioners to do it, for if’you do,
we fear you will not get them paved
soon, as it takes all the funds they

Ms. S :nm I believe, indeed I
know, it is aJmitUJ on ail lambs that
the evil of tiie day cJtictiag all dassss |
find eiviiiz* %I coantries, is a scarcity of •
fit and pi sper labor to cultivate the 1
cotton tie! Is of the South, to their fuil
capacity cf production. Even the se
en reed, thieving, mendacious Yankee, \
who never voluntarily tells the truth,,
if a lie will serve his purpose half as :
well, and is unwilling to earn an fcon- 1
est living, if he can steal a living with ;
twice the trouble; is forced to admit,
there U mt labor momh at the South
to supply the spindles of the world
with the quantity of cottcn absolute
ly necessary to their profitable em
ployment.
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.
This, however, was an exceptional
case, even the dull Chinese were
at a loss which most to admire, tue
folly, rascality, or impudence of the
transaction. Yer- respect full v,

P. S.—ls such a thing had been

THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
of liov. Walker.
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,
