Tin. State Convention of New Hampshire at a meeting January 29th, after adopting a preamble, iu which they “recognize the gigantic evils of intemperance as they now exist, recommend that all Christian and moral men unite in earnest work for the Temperance cause. The drunkard should be reformed, the fallen must, be lifted up, the young must be properly trained, and all persons who desire to labor for the highest interests of the community should take the Templars pledge.’’ They adopted the following as the closing section of their resolution : “Also, That the members of the Con vention have great reason for confession of sin and humility before God for not having been more active and earnest in the cause of temperance in the past. “Also, Calling for earnest and persever ing work in the cause of total abstinence till the whole nation should hear and heed the cry for temperance and moral reform.” We clip the following from the Atlanta Ueraitl • “Major McWilliams <f: Go., intend to control the Dry Goods trade of Cherokee, Georgia, if capital, pluck and experience can control it.

They will draw millions of dollars of trade to Rome, that heretofore lias been poured into other channels, and will effect a revolution in the trade of North Georgia.
