ADVERTISEMENTS.
J n future, all advertisements will be found on the first
and fourth pages. New advertiaements will appear un
der the head of “ New Business.”
Unfortunate— Machinery Broken.
After almost every conceivable difficulty, we had suc
ceeded in printing about half of this issue of our paper,
when the targe Balance Wheel of our Press, under a full
head of steam, flew oflf, bursting in pieces some of the
principal cog wheels, and very nrfrrowly missing some
of the hands in the office (the wheel weighs some 500 or
a thousand pounds.) We were of course obliged to sus
pend operations until we could have another wheel cast
at the Iron Foundry, to which we sent the pieces imme
diately ; but to continue our bad luck, the operatives in
the foundry failed in the first attempt to cast all the cogs,
threw us a week or ten days still farther behind.
.We trust our friends will sympathise with us in our
difficulties, and pardon the delay in issuing the paper.
They can form no idea of the uneasiness, trouble and
perplexity which we have endured for the last three
weeks. ——
A Short Apology.
After our editorial was in type, stating that the paper
was printed with new material, from beginning to end,
we found it impossible to get all the old advertisements
in new type ; and hence, were forced to let some of them
remain in the old. In behalf of our publisher, we beg
that all imperfections and want of finish in the paper
this week, arising from that source, may be excused.
In consequence of the large quantity of matter to be
set, we have been unable to issue the paper at the regu
lar time.
County Elections. <
The election for County Officers for Greene County,
on Monday last, resulted as follows :
Vincent Sanford, Clerk of the Sup. and Inf. Courts.
Garrett Woodham, Tax Receiver.
J. N. Copelan, Tax Collector.
11. R, Hunt, Coroner.
Isaac Morrison, Sheriff,
J. L. Turner, Surveyor.
A friend has favored us with the following notice of
the election, accompanied with the official vote :
- “Greenesroro*, Jan. sth, 1858.
J. H. Seals, Esq.—
Dear Sir: The election passed off comfortably,
. considering the abundance of fire-water and other aque
ous fluids. No one received serious injury in the va
rious scuffles and tumbles consequent on “saturation,”
and the hard rain of last night cooled off the most fiery
spirits by dilution. *
Notwithstanding the unpropitious weather, we have
had a good turn-out to-day, and the rates at which pro
perty sold indicates anything but the prevalence of a
panic. L.
Sale Day in G reenesboro.
* We learn from friends who were present, that negro
property sold astonishingly high, on the Ist Tuesday of
this month. A couple of negro boys—one 22 and the
other 27 years of age—brought SI2OO a-piece; and a ne
gro girl sold for the same amount. Some 30 or 40 ne
groes in all, belonging to different persons, were sold,
besides a variety of other property, such as lands, &c.
We learn that quite a number of people turned out, not
withstanding the'rainy day.
Col. D. W. Lewis, of Hancock, introduced a bill,
which was passed in the last Legislature, “to regulate
the retail of spirituous liquors in Hancock county.”
We think such a thing is absolutely impossible, for the
retail traffiic is an irregularity, and how will you regu
late an irregularity? How would you regulate a whirl
wind ? By taking the twist out of it i would
not be a whirlwind.
Can you regulate a kicking, jumping toothache ?oW*t
a thing you know to be absurd. It is a rotten tooth, and
the only cure for it is to drag it outlay the roots. And
the only remedy against the evils of retail establish
ments, is to tear them down.

fi&B* A friend writing to us from Western Ga. states
that the citizens of that place had it incorporated during
the Legislature before the last, and have had a prohibi
tory law in force there ever since. He says they are rid
of grog-shops; the law works well, and they lijte
it better the longer they try it.

he will receive at the hands of those who will so cordi

fortnight’s continued dining out and dissipation. He
sent for Dr. Heberden, who prescribed rigid abstinence
and, calling again, soon afterwards, asked his patient
if he was attending to that advice. The answer being
affirmative—“Rigbt,” said the doctor; “’tis the only
way to secure you length of days.”—“l do not doubt it,”
said Sheridan ; “for these three last days, since I began
have been the longest to me in my life.”
Facts in Human Life. —The number of languages
spoken is 3,074. The number of men is about equal to
the number of women. The average of human life is
33 years. One-quarter die before the age of seven —
one-half before the age of seventeen. To every 1,000
persons, one only reaches 100 years. To every 100, on
ly 6 reach 65 years, and not more than one in 500 reac

A friend clipped the following advertised “ no
tice to liquor dealers and merchants,” from a California
paper, and forwarded it to us. We publish it for thein
formartion of the masses—to show them the wretched
impositions which are practised upon them by liquor
dealers. We have others sent by the same friend, which
we intend publishing:
A COMPLETE assortment of the Oils necessary for maklngand
flavoring every variety of liquors, and a package of the ar

liquors, (converting 70 gallons of Whiskey to 100 gal

QUOR STORE, will be furniseed for S2O. Also all
the information necessary to conduct such an establish
ment, thus enabling the new beginner to successfully
complete with the oldest liquor dealers.

New Orleans, La.
<WV. Walksr.— -The Washington correspondent of
the'New York Tribune, who is very likely in the confi
dence of his ex-excellency, says that Gov. Walker in
tends to take the stump against the administration in
the South, and that he has letters approving his course,
from leading democrats of Maryland and Texas.
The store of Mr. E. P. Beauchamp, at Wood

Pefi field Property For Sale.
We invite attention to the advertisement in
this “issue, of Mr. A. M. Lansdell, offering all his
property in this place for sale. He will %ell at
public auction on Friday the 22d inst. if it is not
old at private sale before that time.
After a silence of some three or four weeks, j
during which time many important changes have
been made in the mechanical department of our
office , we salute our friends with tha Crusader
printed on new type throughout, from the “ head
piece” down to the foot-sticks.” We leave it for
pur readers to judge of tie appearance of the pa
per, without presuming to bias their criticisms in
its favor, by an editorial puff. Our Patrons may
now expect a handsomely printed sheet, if nothing
more, for we have the right kind of material, and
have secured the services of a Printer who is emi
nently qualified to conduct that braneh of the
business in the proper style. The size of the pa
per is considerably enlarged ; and in addition to that,
thd advertisements are set in a mueh smaller type,
which together, givesus about double the arnouut
of reading matter which we had during the past
year. We have, furthermore,
Discarded all Patent Medicines,
and henceforth shall advertise no nostrums what
ever. Our paper has heretofore been an advertis
ing medium for almost every species of patented
medical humbuggery, but that medium is now
closed. We design establishing a journal of the
purest and most elevated moral principles; and
to do that, we shall endeavor to guard its colums
against the introduction of all matter which shall
tend in the least to corrupt or vitiate.
Mr. Yeazey has returned to his old post and will
. again aid us in the editorial management of the pa
per. He will conduct principally the Literary
Department, on .the page at the top of which,
his name is placed as Editor, and he alone will be
responsible for whatever appears under that head.
In consideration of the enlarged size of our
sheet, the large increase of reading matter, and
the enormous increase of expense consequent upon
these changes, we are forced to raise the subscrip
tion price to
Two Dollars a-year
Our terms have been heretofore One Dollar,
but that amount is entirely too little for a weekly
paper of any size, as every one who knows any
thing of the expense in getting (Hit a newspaper,
will readily admit. If the Crusader in future will
he worth anything at all, it will certainly be worth
two dollars, and those who do not consider it,
worth anything, we expect will discontinue. We
should like very much to retain all our patrons,
as we expect to give them a paper which shall be
more richly worth two dollars,, than the old Cru
sader was worth one. We shall exert ourselves
to reward our •paying subscribers for their money;
and if w T e foil 4n the attempt, it will be a weak
ness of the flesh, and not of the spirit.
Those of our patrons who are in arrears, as well
as those who have paid in advance for this year,
will please remain quiet until they hear from us
individually, as we expect to enclose to each sub
scriber a statement of how he or she stands on
our books, and the amount required of them.
A Few will stand by us.
We expect, as a matter of course, that a num
ber of those whom we now have on our lists as
subscribers, will drop off; some will quit in con
sequence of the “ hard times,” and others on ac
count of the subscription price being raised to
two dollars; some for one reason and some for
another; but we have a well-founded assurance
that there are a few who will stand by us still.
We have a number of whole-souled friends who
will not be driven by frivolous contingencies from
the support of an enterprise so worthy as ours.
There are a multitude of genuine temperance men
scattered over the State, and men of literary
tastes, and men who love morality, all of whom
ssiik lend as their cheering approbation, and ex
tend to us m&bmal aid in prosecuting our labors.
To all such we shall extend our grateful acknowl
edgements, and it will be to us a source of great
pleasure, to exert ourselves to the utmost in ca
tering for their fancies. 9
Orders to Discontinue. ,
We have recently received from several of our
subscribers, orders to discontinue their Crusaders;
but as we were making a variety of popular chan
ges in the paper, we thought, or rather hoped
that when they saw the improvements which it
had undergone they would re-consider the matter
in our favor; and for that reason, we intentionally
omitted to execute their orders to discontinue.
We still hope they will decline the idea of stop
ping the paper when they examine its merits and
witness the improvements in its mechanical ap
pearance. But if they are immoveable in [their
determination to abandon us, we request them to
drop us another line, stating the fact, and we will
instanter execute their directions.
We do not Fight Alone.
“ They tell us that we are weak—unable to cope
with so formidable an adversary. But when shall
we.be stronger? Will it he the next week or the
next year? Shall we gather strength by irresolu
tion and inaction ? We are not weak, if we make
a proper use of those means which the God of
nature hath placed in our power. Besides, we
shall not fight alone. There is a just God who
presides over the destinies of nations, and who
will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.”
The cause of temperance had its origin in bos
oms akin to that of the Almighty. lie is its au
thor, and He will he its finisher. Its enemies
may triumph for a season, but it will ere long re
suscitate its wearied forces, ancl casting itself once
more into the breach, will bring forth the palm
of victory. The God of temperance, of humanity
and of religion will not suffer this cause to die,
though it may for a while languish.
“ Truth, tho’ crushed to the earth, will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers.”
Our Foreman Printer.
We have secured the services of Mr. John
A. Reynolds, of Athens, as Foreman of our office
during the present year. He is a gentleman of
excellent moral character, and a man of honor
and principle. He is thoroughly posted in all the
departments of the printing business, and will take
a pride in executing the mechanical part of our
paper with neatness.
Mr. Reynolds is extensively known as being the
proprietor of the large Job Office which has been
in Athens for a number of years, and he is one of
the first Job Prihters in the State. We have se
cured his extensive and well selected
Job Office,
and are now prepared to do any and all kinds of
work which belong to that department. We can
get out as handsome, and perlfaps as cheap .jobs
as any other office in the State.
A Rich Specimen.
Editors have alfkinds of men to deal with, and
they not (infrequently strike some hard cases.
Below we give a letter from a post master, and
judging from his style, we should pronounce him
a hard nut.

Verry Respectfully
„ Post master
Nov 30U1857 at E Gn
Wonder what can be the ideas of that fellow
concerning the phrase “Very Respectfully?”
We think the above remarkably respectful—as
much so as could possibly come “ outten?* such a
“and tiring” (the P Mat E.-—)
Intemperance r l'riumi>liant.
Let the truth he published wprld-wide, howe
ver lamentable its announcement may be. that
the Archfiend is victoriously predominant in all
the length and breadth of our land. Like a great
besom of destruction, it sweeps over tlfis fair Con
tinent, blighting, withering and defacing all that
is pure, beautiful and lovely. Men from every
department of life, and of every religious creed,
have from time to time banded themselves to
gether for the purpose of arresting its progress;
but like a dread Simoon, hot with the red winds
of death, it continues to sweep across the bosom
of our country, leaving a universal wreck behind.
Its course widens, and its fury is hourly augmen
ted ; and to-day the area of its devastating pro”
gress is broader than at any other time during the
last quarter of a century.
Yes, the enemy is victorious. In his triumphant
march are seen a few hard contested battle
grounds, where a handful of brave temperance
men fought like the little Spartan band at Ther
mopylae, but they yielded to superior strength,
and the spot is now marked by an “infernal ma
chine” (grog-shop.) Many a good soldier who for
a while bore his armour bravely, ere the contest
ended, went, 7 like Benedict Arnold, against the
cause of liberty. Fresh foot-prints of this
monster evil may be traced throughout all the
ramifications of society, and in every avenue of
the business world. The minister in the sacred
desk has fallen a victim to its wiles; the heads of
government have yielded to its seductive influen
ces ; the poet, the orator, the artist, architect,
peasant—all grades of humanity have rushed
madly into this Maelstrom of iniquity, and have
experienced the “dastardly despair” which mad
dening Pentheus felt when baited round Citlie
ron’s sides. The frauds and enormities of this
“destruction that wasteth at noonday,” blasting
the peace and harmony of society, and annually
sweeping off more than thirty thousand of our
fellow-countrymen into the drunkard’s grave, and
the draunkard’s hell, have been faithfully un
veiled to the public gaze; the deep miseries and
damning degregation of drunkenness have been
depicted inutile Jburning words of truth and elo
quence ; the most earnest appeals have been made
to the humanitythe patriotism, the virtue and
the religion of the people, in the hope of arousing
them to a sense of their danger, and uniting them
in a combined and vigorous effort against this
blighter of human hopes, and destroyer of human
happiness. Yet, strange as it may seem, the great
majority of the people, and among them profes
sors of religion, and fathers and mothers are to
tally indifferent and unconcerned on the subject.
0, what a strange apathy! Men whose bosoms
once throbbed with heartfelt sympathy’ for de
graded and oppressed humanity t can now gaze
with stoic indifference upon tho victim of intem
perance reeking with filth, and frenzy with de
lirium. Those who were once leading members
in flourishing organizations have seen their socie
ties disbanded and their charters forfeited, with
out uttering a sigh of regret; the bugle-note of
reformation has ceased to find a responsive echo
in the hearts of the once faithful; the gavel of
the Worthy Patriarch lies stilt on the desk, with
no division to come to order at its signal : empty
Division Rooms and the fearful increase of retail
establishments all over the country tell the sad,
yet true tale, that temperance is fast waning.
That it will ever be true, remains yet to be seen.
It rests, with the people to contradict it by their
actions.
Fashionable Call, anil all they said.
The following sample of a fashionable “pop
call,” so common and popular among the girls
now a days we picked from among the floating
items of the times, and submit it to our fair friends
for their decision as to its correctness. We think
it sounds quite natural indeed.
—“How do you do, my dear?” Putty well, thank
you.” (They kiss.) “ITow have you been this
age ?” “Putty well. How have you been ?”
“Very well, thank you.” “Pleasant to-day.” Yes
very bright; but we had a shower yesterday.”—
“Are all your people well ?” “Quite well, thank
you. How are yours ?” “Very well—l’m oblig
ed to you.” “Have you seen Mary B —, lately ?”
“No ; but I’ve seen Susan G .” “You don’t
say so ! Is she well ?” “Very well, I believe.”
(Rising.) “Must you go ?’; “Do call again, soon.”
“Thank yon : but you don’t call on me once in an
age.*’ “O, yon should not say so! I’m sure I’m
very good.” “Good bye.”
Gough on Water.
The following is anotherof Gough’sapostrophies
to water.
Nothing can be more beautiful and sweet. It’s
easy, graceful, and liquid flow, fills the bosom of
the reader with emotions so grand and pleasant,
that no one can tire from reading it. Can any
thing be said, half so beautiful, in behalf bf brain
inflaming wine ? The beauty of this apostrophe
no doubt becomes moro conspicuous when recited
by the world-renowned temperance lecturer :
“Water ! oh, bright, beautiful water for me !
Water ! heaven-gifted, earth-blessing, flower lov
ing water! It was the drink of Adam in his Eden
home ; it mirrored back the beauty of Eve in her
unblushing toilet; it wakens to life again the
crushed and fading flower ; it cools, oh how
gratefully ! the parched tongue of the feverish in
valid ; it falls down to us in pleasant showers from
its home with the glittering stars ; it descends to
us in feathery storms of snow ; it smiles in glitter
ing dewdrops at the glad birth of morning ; it
clusters in groat tear-drops at night over the
gi’aves of those we love ; its name is wreathed in
strange bright colors by the sunset cloud ;
its name is breathed by the dying~soldier„ far
away on the torrid field of battle ; it paints
old forts and turrets from a gorgeous easel
upon your winter window : it clings upon ihe
branches of trees in frostwork of delicate beauty;
it dwells in the icicle ; it lives in the mountain
glacier; it forms tire vapory ground-work upon
which God paints the rainbow ; it gushes in pear
ly streams from the gentle hill-side; it makes
glad the sunny vales ; ii murmers cheerful songs
in the ear of the humble cottager : it answers
back the smiles of happy children : it kisses the
pure cheek of the water lillv : it wanders like a
vein" of molten silver away, away to the distant
sea. Oh ! bright, beautiful, health inspiring,
heart-gladdening water ! Every where around us
dwelleth thy meek presence : twin angel sister of
all that is good and precious here; in the wild
forest, on the grassy plain, slumbering in the bo
som of the lonely mountain, sailing with.viewless
wing through the humid air, floating over us in cur
tains of more than regal splendor; homo of the
healing angel when his wings bend to the woes
of this fallen world;”
“Oh water for me, bright water for me !
And wine for the tremulous delmuche !”
The Doom of the World.
The North British Review is responsible for the ap
pended volcanic and frightening fragment of
eloquence. Wo do trust that the evidences in
its possession of the “grand finale” of things on
this sublunary satellite, are not sufficieetly strong
to enable the Review to point the day of thj im
pending revulsion at any time soon.
What this change is to he, we dare not even
conjecture, but we .see in thadieavens themselves
some traces of destructive elements'and some.in
dications of their power. Tito fragments ofbrolc
*en planets —the descent of lnfteoric stones upon
our globe—the wheeling comoW welding then;;
loose materials at furnace—the voleanio
r eruptiort in our own satellite, the appearance of
new stars,, and the disappearance of others—are
all foreshadows of that impending oonvu’sion to
which the system of the world is doomed. Thus
placed on a planet which is to be burnt up, and
under heavens which are to pass away ; thus
reading; as it were, on the cemeteries, and dwell
ing upon ihe mausoleums of former worlds, let
us learn the lesson of humility and wisdom, if
we have not already been taught in the school of
revelation.

Associate EilitreSs,
We are more than happy to announce that
Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, of Thomasville. has accept
ed the position of associate Editress of this paper,
and will conduct the lady’s Department. She is
a writer of the very first order of talent, as her
popular contributions to various papers in this
State amply testify.
Tho Crusader can soon boast of three editors,
and with such a force, we think it possible to
make it a journal of merit .
Mrs. Bryan’s salutatory will appear in the next
issue, or in the one following.
‘I lie Ray for t.lie Times.
“We like an active boyisaysthe Southern Organ,
one who has the impulse of the age—the steam
engine—in him. A lazy, plodding, snail-paced
chap might have got along in the world fifty
years ago, but lie won’t do for these times. We
live in an age of quick ideas ; men think quickly,
speak quickly, eat, sleep, court, marry, die quick
ly, and slow coaches are not tolerated “Go
ahead if you burst your boiler,” is the motto of
the age: and he succeeds the best in every line
of business who has the most of “do or die” in
him.
Strive, boys, to catch the spirit of the times;
be up and dressed always, not gapping and rub
bing yout eyes as if you were fast asleep, but wide
awake, whatever may turn up, and you may be
somebody before you die.
Think, plan, reflect, as much as you please be
fore you act, but think quickly and closely, and
when you have fixed your eyes upon an object,
spring to the mark at once.
But above all things, be honest. If you intend
to l>e an artist, carve it in the wood, chisel it in
the marble; if a merchant, write it in your day
book and spread it in capitals in your ledger.—
Let honesty of purpose be your guiding star.
We belive in seeing boys smart and active—
and, in truth, we have no endurance for any
other kind; but the advice of the Southern Or
gan, urging them “ t o catch the spirit of the times,”
is rather had advice, and altogether unnecessary;
for that is the first thing that boys catch, in these
fast days. And the 2.4< I career of a fast youth is any
thing hut enviable. Someone who has been a
correct observer of such things, thus describes
these premature specimens, under the caption of
Plain Triilli :
“A young gentleman—a smooth faced strip
ling, with little breeding and less sense, ripens
fast, and believes himself a nice young man. He
chews and smokes tobacco, swears genteelly,
coaxes embryo imperials with bear’sgreese, twirls
a rattan, spends his father’s money, rides last
horses—on horseback and in sulkeys—double
and single—drinks Catawba, curses the Maine
law and flirts with young ‘ ladies’—hundreds of
which are just like himself, though of a different
gender; and this is the fashionable education of
the day. The fathers and mothers of those fools
were once poor. Good fortune has given them
abundance. Their children go through with an
inexhaustible fortune, and,into the poor house.
Parents, you are responsible for this folly. Set
your sons and daughters to work, and let them
Know that only in usefulness there is honor and
prosperity.” •

J Fellow-Citizens: Jerusalem to pay and we - aint

and the captain’s broke his deck, and the cock’s

“ Oh, answer me,
Let me not blush in ignorance,”
as Shakapeel says. Shall we be bamboozled with
such unmitigated audaciousness? Methinks 1
hear you yelp, ‘No sir, boss lly !’ Then ’leet me
to Congress, and there’ll be a revolution certain.
Feller-Citizens: If I was standing on the ada

No whar! I was brought up among ye, feller-citi

BQL,How differently the very same thing may
be described! The great poetess Elizabeth Brow
ning says: —
“ First time lie kissed me —but he only kissed
The fingers of this hand wherewith I write —
And, ever since, it grew more clear and white,
Slow to world greeting —quick with its “Oh, list!”
When the angels speak. A ring oi amethyst
I could not wear her plainer to my sight
Than that first kiss. The second passed in height
The first, and sought the forehead—and half missed,
Falling upon my hair. Oh, beyond meed,
That was the chrism of love, which love’sown crown,
With sanctifying sweetness, did precede.
The third upon my lips was lolded down
In perfect, purple state! Since when, indeed,
1 have been proud, and said, ‘ My love, my own.’ ”
“Sut Lovengood,” of Tennessee, has experi
enced a similar felicity, and describes it in the
following style:—“l happened to pass next day;
ov cours I stopped to enjoy a look at the temp
ter, an she wav mighty luvin to me; put wun arm
round my neck, and tothcr wun wliar the circin
gle goes around a boss, tuk the “inturn on me
with her left foot,” and gin me a kiss. Says she,
“Sutty, love, I’ve got sumtliin for you, anew
sensashun”—an I belive it, for I begun to feel it
“already. My toes felt as if minners wur a nib
blin at urn-—a cold streak run up and down my
back like a lizard with a turkey hen after him
in setting time, and my stummiek#was hot and
on-satisfied like.”
Strange if True.
Some fellow clipped the following from the
Philadelphia Evening Post, and says it is “strange
if true.” We think so too.
“Asa man was walking in his garden he dis
covered two clothes-horses, lie took them into
his stable where lie soon broke them. He then
put the yolk of an egg on their necks, attached
them to a cart with the bonds of friendship, and
covered them -with lightning to protect
them from the flies. Ho then leaped upon the
cart, sat upon the seat of government, took the
whip of a top in one hand, and the reins of sev
eral kings in another, and drove off, passing
through the gait of a buffalo, over the ground
coil’ee for three miles; but in crossing the track
of a snail, he was run into by a train of thought,
and dashed heals over head into a stream of elo
quence where his cart was broken to pieces
against the rock of a cradle. By industry and
frugality he soon gained the shore, where he
formed a boat of the bark of a prairie-wolf, which
he fitted with a mast made of the north pole, and
two auction sales. He then sailed down the river
to its mouth, and landed upon a tongue of land,
where he was seized by a serious sensation and
conveyed to a cell whore lie was secured by chain
lightning fastened by a thunder-bolt. The jailer
gave him his liberty for a Christmas present, and
read to him the report of a cannon.”
“ Jack,” said a man to a. lad just entering
his teens, “your father is drowned.”—“Darn it.”
replied the Voung hopeful, “and he’s got my
knife in his pocket.”
Asa soul in heaven may look hack on
earth, and smile at its past sorrows, so, even
here, it may rise to a sphere where it may look
down oil the storm that once threatened to over
whem it.
Why don’t you wear your ring, myjdaugh
ter, when you go outwalking?”—“Because, papa,
it hurts me when any one squeezes my hand.”

Melancholy Affair in Itrunswice—-J. IV,
Moore killed.
An extra from ihe Brunswick Herald dated on Satur
day, gives the particulars of an affray which occurred in.
that city oil Friday night last, in which Mr Jacob W.
Moore, lale representative of Glynn county in the State
legislature was killed.
Ii appears that much dissatisfaction had beenexpreas
od by a portion of the citizens of Brunswick in regard,
to certain local bills which had been introduced and car
ried through the legislature by Mr. Moore, in conse--
which, apew parly had been formed composed
of those opposed to the present municipal government
of the town, and u> the laws which had been enacted
through Mr. Moore’s agency. Ofthis new party, stylel
the conservative party, Carey W. Styles, Esq., was the
candidate for Mayor at the approaching municipal elec
tion. This gentleman, says the Herald’s account, over
his proper name, called a public meeting, to be held
the Academy on Thursday c-vr-nmg. iL.: 2+L inst., foi
the purpose of a free discussion of “Measures awy
ISTeti . 1 ’ j
At the commencement of his speech, Mr. Style/
said that as the weather was inclement and W
gentlemen responsible for the measures
cussed might not be present, he would
marks that evening to measures, anil not eY.5.’4 aß ®/
to men ; and invited any one who wished to replyT, y
him when he should take his sent. He had spoken In/
a few minutes when he remarked that the manner/*
which these laws Lad. been passed was the same aji
that adopted by tyrants—being concocted in secrcst
and passed and fastened on their subjects before they
were aware ot what Was being prepared for them, anli
characterized the procedure as dishonerablo and fraudif
lent to the trust repised in a representative by the peti
ple - -, . . ,
At this point, Mr. Moore rpse from his seat anil said.
“Mr. Styles, if you say anything I have done is dishonl
erable, you say that which is palpably false.” To thii
Mr. Styles gave the lie, and Mr. Moore responded iii
like manner, Mr. Styles—he being at one end of thy
building and Mr. Moore at the other—called to the
persons between them to down with their heads. The
Hiring front revolvers then commenced. Some say that
Mr. Styles, and some that Mr. Moore fired first.
Mr. James Houston, and someone else, it is said,
fired. One hall took effect in Mr. Moore’s body, cii r
tering towards the right-side, passing through a small
part of t he lungs and stomach.and lodging undertheskin
on the right of the spine. lie survived but about an
hour.
Friday morning an arrangement was made by which
Mr. Styles should bo left in the custody of Ins f riemh
till a judicial examination could he had, and he then
surrendered himself to llie Sheriff.— Sav. Morn. News.

Miller Lodge, No. 32, K. of N., Dec. 3d, 1857.
Whereas, since our last regular meeting, by the dis
pensation of an Allwise Creator, we have been culled
upon to perform the last sail duty we owed to our be
loved broiheiq Alexander F. Hell, wbo was a faithful
member ofthis Lodge. We feel it a duty, as well as a ,
high privilege, to pay a tribute of respect to his memo
ry as a token ot our brotherly regard. Brother Bell de
parted this life on the 26th of.November, 1857, aged 17
years, 4 months and 24 days. He is no more upon
earth; we have laid him silently in the cold and gloom>
charnal house; his seat is now vacant in the Lodge
loom ; he will be among us no more to aid in the grear
temperance reform—a cause lie loved and espoused;
while yet in his boyhood, he has gona to that home,
from whence no traveller ever returns.
He has been a consistent member of theM. E. Church
for several years past, and has always filled his station
in the Lodge, with credit to himself and honor to the
cause in which lie was engaged.
We lcel that in the death oi brother Bell, Miller Lodgd
has lost a faithful and exemplary member, and his fond
and devoted parents, a strong stay in their declining
years.
Therefore be it resolved, That we deeply sympathise
with the sorrowing and sorely afflicted parents and rel
atives; and do hereby tender them our condolence in
this their painful bereavement.
Resolved; That the Lodge wear the usual badge ol
mourning for the space of thirty days; and that the
In oilier Recorder leave a blank sheet on his book, .hav
ing inscribed thereon the name, age and demise of our
deceased brother.
Resolved, That this tribute of respect to the memo
ry of our departed brother, he published in the Temper
ance Crusader, and Sumpter Republican, nnd a copy
handed to the much afflicted family, as an assurance of
our friendship and love.
