Sunday Night, March 11, 1855.
JiJr. Editor:—l’ine lands are famous
for fires, but on last Friday night we had
the greatest one that ever was in this sec
tion of the country. And I have conclu-
ded to give you a hasty sketch of its origin
and termination, leaving out, of course,
many incidents.
It broke out on Bird’s plantation on
Friday momirig. I saw tbe smoke about
IU o’clock, sent for my home hands, and
made for the lire, but before I arrived it
had passed the last hope of stopping it.—
Had i been on the spot, prepared,'by giv
ing up one string of fence, which I should
have done, I could have stopped it with
ease.
It passed through, doing but little dam
age to Mr. Bird, entered the west end of
my Hajj place. My first effort was to keep
it off the Lockhart place, and Mr. Eli Mc-
W barter's, in which I succeeded, except
the South side of Mr. McWhorter’s place,
lie lost about five hundred pannelsof fence
on the south and west. The next pla'ce
was Mr. John S. Latimer’s Hines place,-
the fire swept over one third of that place
including the houses. I should say the
[COMMUNICATED.]
Mr. EditorThe following resolutions
were^ adopted at the Stale Temperance Con
vention of Tennessee, held at Nashville,
u2d ult. I would commend the action of
this convention to the temperance men of
Georgia, as a wise policy, one that would
give to them all the advantages of the fu
ture action of the political parties of the
&ta,te, and if no other alternative is left
them, then let them act as an independant
party.
Resolved, That it is not tbe policy of
this convention, or friends of Temperance,
to nominate a distinct candidate for Gov
ernor at this time; but it is recommended
to the convention, that a committee be ap
pointed, with power to interrogate the can
didates of the respective political parties
as to their views upon the passage of a law-
tor the prohibition of the sale of intoxica
ting drinks, as a beverage, and that tbe
aid candidates be requested to answer in
writing.
“Resolved, That, in case the candidates
or Governor do not answer in a manner
atisfaetory to the State Central Committee
then it shall be their duty to call a con
vention, as soon as practicable, of the
friends of Temperance, to nominate a suita
ble candidate for Governor.”
The above resolutions were presented to
the convention by the business committee,
and adopted by that body. It will be seen
that the co volition intend to show all due
respeet to the political parties of the State,
a courtesy which is even due from a gen
tleman to-his enemies, and much more to
!iis friends. It strikes me that such a pol
icy must increase iu influence the more it
is practiced. We lid Tennessee God
speed in the temperance reform.

Thoughts for the People.
Mr. Editor:—Had the evils which in
temperance has produced in our land,come
upon us in any other way than through
thejdelusive gratification of appetite or
pecuniary gain, the land would have been
clad in sackcloth. Take the following in-
tens. It is estimated by those who have
the means of knowing ; that one. m illion
jive hundred thousand of the American
people have sunk into a drunkard’s grave
in the last fifty years; and that Jive thou
sand millions »J uollars have been use
lessly expended in that time by intemper
ance.
What would be thought of a blast, or-a
tempest, which for ten successive years,
should sweep away thirti/fhonsaiid ol our
citizens, and destroy one huud.red millions
of our property, annually? And yet this
is the doings of inte'ulperanoe in this
country. y.
Intemperance -then is justly described
as a foul spirit let loose from -the pit,
Duels and Dueling.
We have received from B. M, Norman,
No. 14 Camp street, a copy of a work, re
cently published in Boston by Messers.
Cjosby, Nichols■& Co., bearing the title
of “Notes on Duels and Dueling; alpha
betically arranged; with a Prelimiliary
Historical Essajn I3y Lorenzo Sabine.’
It contains three hundred and eighty
pages of matter, exclusively devoted to
accounts of duels and essays on the sub
ject.
The work Is a very curious and very in
teresting one, but is by no moans what it
ought to be. The author evidently thinks
that he is the first historian of the duello,
and accordingly stretches his narrative
troin the time of the combat between Da
vid and Goliah down to a lafbr moment
than when Soule shot the Marquis dc
Turgot. The author asserts that tbe fight
between the Israelite and Hulistinc was a
regular and approved duel, waged by the for
mer for the purpose of getting 1Saul’s daugh
ter in marriage, and quotes* tbe language
of the giant in corroboration. Goliah, ac
cording to the history of Samuel, said'; “I
defy the armies of Isreal this day : Give
me a man, that we may fight together.”
He cites Josephus, also, "who says that
when David had accepted the offer of bat
tle, and proposed weapons used in driving
away dogs, Goliah asked, “ Dost thou take
mo not fora man, but a dog ?” To which
David very insultingly replied : “No, not
[ or hut for a creature worse than a
dog-” This rather early personal combat
is attended with accounts of similar Fen
confers between Polynices and Eteocles,
Richard Coeur-de-Lion and Saladin, and
other old-time gentlemen.
There is far more amusment in the vol
ume than one would expect to find iu such
a work. The case of Major Ilillas and
Fenton, in Ireland, in which the former
gentleman was shot, is an illustration.—
The Judge, ia summing up the evidence,
said to the jury; “Gentlemen, it is mv
business to lay down the law to you, and i
wid. I he law says tne killing a man in a
duel is murder, and lam bound to tell
you it is murder; therefore, in the dis
charge of my duty, I toll you so , but I tell
you at the same time, a fairer duel than
this 1 never heard of in the whole coarse
oi my life!” Twi physicians, by the
names oi Mead and Woodward, fought in
England, and the latter slipping, his oppo
nent exclaimed, “ lake your life.” ‘Any
thing but your physic.” “Oid Put. ” one
oi the heroes of our revolution, was very
odd also in his ideas of the code. He
agreed to meet a British officer at a 'speci
fied place and hour, without seconds.—

The Ice Crop Harvested.—The vari
ous ice companies have compelted their har
vest, after a season exceedingly propitious
for storing a large crop, and of excellent
quality. The total number of tons is
about the same as was secured last year,
while in quality, it ig far superior, being
less porous, and consequently less perisha-
ble, and very pure. The amount stored is
as follows :
Knickerbocker lee Oo. 100.000 tons.

Rockland Lake. 65 000 “

The next place was the Shay Quarters. It
burnt half the fencing, or more, and all
the - ora, fodder and shucks on the place.
It then entered my Poveli place,and plan
tation about the same time. It went
through about five hundred acres of the
plantation place the best and heaviest tim
bered land I ever saw. Where it entered
the plantation, Mr. Kitehius, my manager,
succeeded iu turning or cutting off the
lett side, or it would have struck my
buildings, centerally and all the men in
the county could not have saved one. The
fire just
effort ot Mr. Kitehiu’s after cutting oft’ the
ieit wing of the fire, was to make"for the
buildings with all Ins force, and cut down
ait the dead trees for about two hundred
yards next to the buildings. My loss here
would not have been short of $6,000 or
$8,000. Atone time I would not have
given $1,000 for the lot. I had about 70
bales of cotton in the gin house.
I sent for my brother Thomas late iu the
evening, to come and bring his hands. He
mounted about fifteen or twenty hands on
mules and come full speed, to the Hall
place, then had to go round the fire to the
plantation about twelve miles. He made
one or two efforts to stop the lire, and
found it of no avail. He then placed him
self and hands, oa the county line road,
and by the aid of the hurricane’s path and
green timber land, he succeeded iu stop
ping the fire about daybreak Saturday
morning.
If it had not been for Thos. J. Dickson’s
great effort, I should have lost all my
Washington place and it would have burnt
at least ten miles square iu Washington
county, and there is no telling where it
would have stopped.
On the south-west side, Mr. H. Scott
jd great service. There is no mistake he
aid wonders with Col. Turner’s hands.
Lut foi his aid, Mr. Herringdine would
have been burnt out certain.
There
were many others who did much.
with power.to destroy the sober judgements
of men, and excite tothq commission of
every abomination pnd crime.
It is a disease sweepingp.ver the land,
not like the frightful cholera, extinguish-
ing man’s life almost without warning, but
first crippling all thephysical, intellectual,
and moral energies of- jlqe hundred thou-

some ipto-tnauiacs, and'some friends to be
the toiment of tnoir families, nuisances in
society, aceursccfof God and man; bcinsi
only to make a god of their belly; and
then dying amid the horrors of an antici
pated hell whore hope never comes, but
torture and shame and everlasting contempt
shall be their only inheritance.
If a monster in human shape at the
head of an army, were to enter our coun
try,and produce such disastrous effects,the
whole laud would rise in righteous indig
nation to.expel him. Why then should
there be indiferencc to an evil in another
form ? It is no less ruinous; no less to be
deprecated; its demoralizing and damning
effects meet our eyas and sicken our hearts
almost every day. Can any man who wishes
well to his country, who'loves peace and
good order, who would place his children
out of the way of one of the greatest curs
es that ever befel » people, "withhold his
influence and efforts to arrest this desola
ting tide of woe which sweeps like the si
moom of the desert over our otherwise happy
home? If he can, let him deny the Chris
tian n?me; renounce his claim to,true *>-

political condition of our country was such
as to peril our safety, there would be, at
last a semblance of a reason,for indiference
to the cause. But when our country is at
peace with all the world, and the political
p:u ties of our Stute adopt mainlv the
same political platform, there can be no
apology for sacrificing the cause of tem
perance to a political party, except as it
may interfere with the success of political

If the next Legislature should follow iu
the loot-steps of their iilustrous predeces

liquor traffic, but still continue to lemiize
these sinks of vice, poverty, and crime,
which stand open night ^nd day, it is to
be hoped, that they will pass a law to com
pel the supporters of the system to
provide poor-houses, and coffins, and graves
to receive the degraded inebriates who
fall by them. This I think is but ca

—On thursday afternoon, Capt. Froctor of
Shakespeare’s Deer Stealing.—
Malone, it is known threw doubts on
the fact of Sbakespere’s deer-stca!in<x
iu his early days,- thereby offending
the poets admirers, insomuch as other
wise the bard s attack upon Lucy of Wood-
cote seemed unaccountable; and the rea
son he gave was that the offence could
have not been committed, inasmuch as Sir
Thomas Lucy, so Malone averred, had no
deer-wall: to be poached upon; but time,
the settler ot all things, has set the matter,
as well as the commentator, right; for it
appears from a record of those who sent
presents to Chancellor Ellesmere, when he
entertained Queen Elizabeth at his seat at
Harefield, that among the givers of buck
on the occasion was the aforesaid Sir
Thomas. This corroboration of the- po
et’s deer-stealing is now on veritable re
cord among the papers published by the
Camden Society in their last volume, from,
‘ The Egertou Papers,” furnished by
Lord Francis, the owner of these curious
and hitherto unknown documents.

titicfti was presented and referred to a com
mittee, from Patrick II. Broderick and 59
other Catholic citizens of fall River, for a
law relative to the tenure of Church prop
erty so that those who contribute to the
erection and maintenance of churches may
have a voice in managing and controlling
the same.—Boston, Transcript of Wcdnot.

Terrapins.—The Legislature of New
Jersey has passed an act- prohibiting any
person in that State from catching terra
pins between the first days of March and
November in each year, (except on his
own premises,) under a penalty of ten dol
lars for each offence. The practice of
catching terrapins in seines and other ways
daring the summer months when they are
neither desirable or healthful has almost
led to their extinction in the waters of
New Jersey and Deleyvare. The principal
supply now comes from the Eastern Shore
ot Virginia, and in the Northern cities

a penalty of 8100 for each offence.— Balt

Singular Optical Illusion.—The
Paris correspondent of the New York Times
states that a gentleman living in Brussels
somewhat troubled by cobwebs and spots
m his eyes, rubbed them one night with
a lew drops of extract of belladona. In
the morning the cobwebs were gono, but |
the whole outer face of nature had chan
ed. His uewspaper, which had been
piacGu by Lis bedside* w*is - coinpo*
type so small that he : could bardiy
pher it. He mug the bell, and "his
serving wench had sunk into a thin
girl of ten.years. He got up in a
fright, aud.looked after his clothing;
were the garments of a child; but Vs his
own limbs had diminished in proportion,
he easily got- into them. He foimd his
wife and children at the table, the former
a dvraiff, and the latter a row of dolls. —
He hurried off to his physician ; the horses
he met looked -like dogs, and dogs, like
rats. Everything was Lilliput and Cin
derella. Lotions were applied to the vic
tim’s eyes, and the next day . Brobdignag
returned, bringing back the cobwebs aud
spots. This phenomenon, called . micros-
cobie, aoes not ■ seem to have occurred
“ — ^an half a dozen times, though it
may be brought on at will by the emplojr
PMJP# <rf ^tain substances. • • ' -
press states, three years ago a puor
orphan girl applied aud was admitted to
set type for that paper. She worked two
years, during which lime she earned, be
sides her board about two hundred dollars;
and availling herself of the facilities which
the printing office afforded acquired a
good education. She is now an associate
editress ot a popular paper and is engaged
to one of the .smartest lawyers ia Ohio.
Such a giil is bound to shine and eclipse
tens of thousands who are educated ia the
lap of luxury, and taught all the “accom
plishments” of a boarding school. Such
a wile will be a jewel to her husband, an
ornament to sooiety, aud an honor to her
sex and to her country.

a species of condor, which, although some

Mate. A full growu California condor
measures upward of thirteen feet from tip
to tip of its wings aud when in its favorite
element, the air, is as graceful and rnajes-
tice as any b.rd in the world. They make
their homes upon the ledges of loftv
rocks or in the old deserted nests of hawks
and ©agios upon the usper branches of
lofty trees. Their eggs are each about
twelve ounces in weight and are said to
be excellent eating. The barrels of the
wing feathers of the condor are about four
inches long and three-eights of an inch in
diameter and are used by the inhabitants
of Northern Mexico to £eep gold dust in
