The Adjourned Court. | I
It will be remembered by the citizen* of the county, | i
generally, that the adjourned term of Greene Superior j
Court commences on Monday next, the 29th inst. The j
unfinished business, it is thought, will consume the en- j
tire week.
Our County Jail well Occupied.
There are, at this time, white and black, seven tenants j
in the county prison—four whites and three blacks.’ ;
Two of the negroes are to be executed on the 30th of |
next month.

‘•Something to Wear.”
A fellow by the name of Hicks lodged with our wore
thy countyman, the Rev. H. C. Peek, a few nights since, ■
and upon leaving the next morning, took with him a j
suit of his landlords clothing. After getting some dis
tance from the house, he “shucked” himself and;
crawled into his extra suit, leaving his old ‘ duds’ on 1
the roadside. He was soon overtaken in his “ cheap j
dry goods” and lodged in the county jail, where lie still
lias the opportunity of stealing ‘ old clothes.’ hut his
chances for running are rather slim.
The North Georgia Times.
This journal, published at Dalton, comes to us this
week printed on beautiful paper, with new type, a very
tastyiiending and with its dimensions vastly extended.
It is now one of our largest and most handsome ex
changes, and we hope the improvements which friend
Taylor has made in his sheet will be sufficiently attrac
tive to the public generally to bring him in four fold
the outlay to which he has of course been subjected.
He makes an appeal to the ladies and rests the success
of his enterprise with them. That’s a good string to
play on, brother Taylor, nnd if you can ever get it pro
perly tuned, vour subscription list will swell out.
Well done, ‘-Ut.”
A little friend of ours in Grcenesboro’, who seems to
have a horrid idea of recollecting in his “drowning”
moments that he has not paid his Editor, gives us the
following, which we appreciate very highly and com
mend to the attention of some of our older customers:
“ Greenf.sboho’, March 20th, 1858.
Mr. Seals :
I read the inclosed piece in a paper the other day and
remembered that I had not sent in my subscription for i
the present year.
For fear you may begin to wish that I would bathe in j
deep water, please find inclosed $2,00.
” An Editor, name and place not. given, refers to the
fact that persons in a drowning condition vividly remem
ber all the events of their past lives, and adds a sugges
tion that some of his delinquent subscribers had better
take to bathing in deep water. ‘Pliancy his phelinx.’ ”
What did you add another dollar on for? I suppose
that is for Miss Mollie. Respectfullv,
J. W.’ N. alias LIT.”
Now we would’nt have any of our delinquents to
‘ drown’ stiff dead, (for then they’d stop payment for
good,) hut jest ecu about most drown , so they might “ viv
idly’ think of all these things, and when they struck dry
land may be they’d strike a bee-line for the Editor’s
Sanctum and pay up. Is’nt that the “ pliancy,” Lit?
Guess Jimmy is right about adding on the other Hollar ;
that must be for “ Miss Mollie,” sure enough ; and as
she used to be Lit’s sweetheart, he comes up like a man
and ‘planks’ out the extra cash, without waiting until
lit. “drowns in deepwater.” Well done, my hoy.
The Mount Vernon Fund.
The Richmond Dispatch says: “It appears that the
ladies have already accumulated ’seventy-five thousand
dollars, which they anticipate will soon be swelled to
one hundred thousand dollars. Now couldn’t Mr.
Washington, representative of the man who gave his
living soul to his country without a dollar of reward,
consent to take one hundred thousand dollars for the
sepulchre? Everybody knows that Mount Vernon is
only valuable as the tomb of Washington ; everybody
knows that it was once offered for one hundred thousand
dollars. Why insist upon double? Why make these
delicate ladies toil so incessantly, pay so high for their
disinterested patriotism! YVhy not be lenient in a bar
gain with gentle and generous woman l Why not emu- j
late her unselfish and chivnlric patriotism? Why not, j
melted by the sight of her lofty devotion to the glory of ;
tby ancestor, come back to the original terms, and take |
a round hundred thousand for Mount Vernon?”
Judge O’Neal 1.
We fear, says the South Carolinian, that the injury j
received the other day by this venerable and eminent ;
gentleman was more serious than at first represented, j
We understand that the car in which he was, was tossed ,
down a bank of fifteen or tweenty feet high, and was j
turned over twice. The Judge’s head was a good deal ;
cut in several places, but his severest injury is in the f
neck and the left shoulder. He as yet is not able to rise !
from his bed without assistance, though no permanent |
injury is apprehended from the accident; but the sever
ity of it may be inferred from the fact that one of his
indomitable spirit and dutiful energy in the discharge
of public duty has consented to forego his attendance
at Union, York and Lancaster Courts, but expects to fce
ut that of Fairfield.
Curious. Will.
The will of Gov. Blachett, of Plymouth, Mass.,
proved in 1783, contains the following singular clause :
“I desire my body to be kept so long as it may not be
offensive, and that one of my toes and iingors may be
cut off’, to secure a certainty of being dead. I further
request my dear wife, that as she lias been troubled
with otic old fool, she will not think of marrying a sec
ond.”
Tlie British Ministry.
*. English affairs seem to be very much stirred up. The
Palmerston Cabinet having been defeated in the House
of Commons upon the “Church rate abolition hill,” and
by Gibson’s amendment to the French conspiracy bill,
have unanimously resigned, and anew cabinet lias been
appointed—the E%rl of Derby filling the office of Pre
inter. Lord Palmerston, whom wc had come to look
upon as the very pillar almost of the English Govern
ment, is laid aside in his old age, and the Southern Citi
zen uses the following hard language, in regard to him:
“IfLord Palmerston’s ministerial career hns indeed
closed, that old man most ignominiously terminates a
base career. He is the friend of Louis Napoleon. He
it was who brought the Queen of England to visit that
monster in his usurped empire, and in the capital which
he had made to swim in the blood ot murdered women
and children. He it was who made her kneel down
and buckle the Blue Garter on the knee of one whose I
neck deserves a halter. lie it was, who systematically
cheated the “liberals” ertf"Sicily and Lombardy, by cn
couraging their revolts, and then gave them up to their
enemies. He was one of the two employers and pay
masters (Lord Clarendon was the other) of the notori
ous Birch, editor of a scandalous newspaper. In short,
it is long since any man in Europe has ceased to believe
word or oath of that Right Hon. Viscount.
The trial of the conspirators against, the life of Napo
leon resulted in their conviction. Orsini, Rudio and
Pierri confessed thccrimowith which they werecharged,
and were sentenced to suffer death. Gomez persisted
in asseverating his innocence, but was sentenced to pe
nal servitude for life.’ A large number of arrests had
been made in Paris, and three Englishmen hud been ar
rested in Genoa, charged with complicity with the as
sassins.
The following is a list of tho new Ministry:
Mr L T?’ r i^ e f- by T Pr^ L eri Chancellor of the Eehequcr,
Hem o W* h hOTd Sir F. Thesiger; Pres

Afterwards modified by substituting laird Stanley for
Sir Bulwer Lytton, resigned. . ?
The African Slave Trade.
A revival of this trade is just now exciting the public !
attention to a considerable extent, and it is the opinion j
of a large ma9s of the people that it will and ought to be
re-opened. But we very seriously question the wisdom
of such a policy, and entertain well-grounded doubts as
to the national or southern gain which it is supposed will j
accrue from it. The first important inquiry which pre
sents itself to our mind is, will it benefit the South mor
ally, intellectually, religiously or pecuniarily, to flood
it with a race of ignorant, jabbering, lawless, heathen- !
ish Africans ? It needs no argument to show that noi- ‘
ther the morals, the religion nor the intelligence of any'!
class, and more especially of the slaves wc now have .
will be benefitted by such importations; on the con- j
trary, we think their influence would tend to make more >
corrupt our present slave population; and by adding to j
their numbers, we increase their probabilities of success j
in insurrectionary movements. Whois totenyhraw Afri- j
cans the English language ? Who is to learn them law |
and make them obedient to it ? In the event of an un- •
limited importation “of these saVages into our country, i
wc can foresee nothing but a universal, heart-rending
system of scourging, and a perpetual warfare between j
master and slave. It requires no extraordinary sagacity ;
to see that our slaves are annually becoming more im- i
pudent, consequential and rebellious, as is evinced in j
the increased number of while men murdered by them; j
and hence arises the imprudence of adding to their ranks |
a race which has .been reared without law, order or
the knowledge of a Supreme Ruler. Old specimensofthe
■ native African are now and then met with in different
parts of the country, and we imagine that those who :
have seen them and heard their ‘ outlandish gab’ are
satisfied with that slight foretaste of what will be. the
j condition of the South when it is stocked with such a set.
Will a revival of this trade add to the general
i wealth of the country? It is very doubtful; for the .
• whole trade will be monopolized by capitalists, and the ,
! result will be simply a system of trade between moneyed ;
i men and speculators, thereby preventing slave labor
from becoming very little, if any, cheaper than it is at
present. Under the existing systems of agriculture in ■
the slave-holding States, the best soils are soon cx- ;
hausted, and farmers, eager after making heavy crops’,
immediately move their forces to new western lands;
and it will not be otherwise until new systems of culti
vation ore inaugurated, which will never be done so
long as farmers are so short-sighted as to see in the fu
ture only a few large incomes from their labors before
the soil is exhausted. It is very evident that, if you in
crease the labor expended upon land under such a sys
tem, the effect will he to wear it out the sooner. We
concur in the opinion of an able cotemporary, that
the three millions of slaves which arc now owned by the
South, together with their natural increase, is sufficient
to satisfy the demands for involuntary labor, and we
j would rejoice to know that Southerners were content
with that very respectable number of negroes. Wc
have an idea that native Africans are short-lived in our
climate. A few years ago they were very numerous in
parts ot the country, hut it seems that they have nearly
all out; it is seldom that you sec or hoar of one ;
and should it be true that they are short-lived in cotton
growing regions, it is a strong argument against their
rc-introduction, as it is probable that they would not
survive long enough after being tamed and acclimated
! to pay the interest on the capital invested in them,
j But under the existing Statutes, the trade is impossible
! and wc hope they may never he repealed; hence, the
attempt j)f the, Louisiana Legislature to evade the laws
by inaugurating a system of apprenticeship becomes a
dead failure. By reference to the Acts of Congress of
1818, it will be seen that article six says: “ If any per
son shall bring within the jurisdiction of the United
Stales, in ami manner, any person of color from any
foreign country or from sea, or shall hold, sell or other
wise dispose of such person ot color so brought in as a
slave, or to be held to service or labor, or in any wise
aiding or abetting therein, lie shall, on conviction, for
feit and pay for every such offence a sum not exceeding
ten thousand dollars nor less than otic thousand dol
lars, and shall suffer imprisonment for a term not ex
ceeding seven nor less than three years.”
The Act of the Jd March, 1807, fully provides for the
seizure, ami condemnation of any vessel on which such
importation shall have been made, and for the prosecution
of the master of such vessel for high misdemeanor. Both
acts are full, and cover the whole ground.
Thus, it is clear that so long as the Statutes remain
unchanged, the importntion of Africans is explicitly in
hibited.
The Jordan Monument.— Within the past week there
has been erected in this city a magnificent monument to
the memory of the late Col. Benj. S. Jordan, of this
county. The column und base together arc thirty-seven
feet high, and the former is surmounted by a bcautful
figure representing Hope. The whole is the work of
Mr. R. E. Lauuitz of New York, the same gentleman
who erected the Pulaski Monument in Savannah.—

To a. Liquor Seller.
Thou man of blood! how dark mus} be,
The soul and heart that dwell in thee!
Can peace, in such a bosom dwell t .
That bosom is itself a hell!
When thou rccallcst all thy guilt,
The streams of blood which thou hast spilt,
And tears of deep and bitter wo,
Which thou so oft. hast caused to flow.
Dost thou not dread the fearful day,
When vengeance shall thy deeds repay!
The sleeping conscience yet shall wake,
And thou, one day,shalt fear and quake ;
For justice tho’ she tarry long,
Will surely overtake the wrong;
How bitter then will be thy meed,
For thouehalt weep, and sigh, and bleed !

A Curious Advertisement.
The following advertisement, which is found in
Howe's Every Day Book, is more than a curiosity. YVe
hear it in the sigli and groan of tens of thousands of
despairing victims of the Liquor Traffic, to be “deliv
ered from temptation:”
“Whereas, the subscriber, through the pernicious
habit of drinking, has greatly hurt himself in purse and
person, and rendered himself odious to all his acquain
tance, and finding there is no possibility of breaking off
from the said practice but through the impossibility to
find the liquor ; he therefore begs and prays that no per
son will sell him for money or on trust, any spirituous
liquors, as he will not in future pay it, but will prose
cute any one for an action of damage against the tem
poral and eternal interests of the public’s humble, seri
ous and sober servani of James Chalmers. Witness,
William Andrews. Nassau, June 28th, 170.3.”
Way to the Work-house.
Reeve was once accosted in the Kensington-road by ‘
an elderly female, with a small bottle of gin in her hand. ‘
“ Pray, sir, I beg your pardon—is this the way to the
work-house?” John gave her a look of clerical dignity, j
and pointing to ilie bottle, gravely said, “No mn’arn ; j
but that is.”
lloy* and Girl*.
Speaking of the plan of seperatirig the sexes in school
Mr. Stowe, the celebrated Glasgow teacher, says:—
The separation hasbeenfound injurious. It is impossi
hie to raise the girls as high, intellectually, without the
boys as with them; and it is impossible to raise boys mor
ally as high without girls. The girls morally elevate the
hoys, and the boys intellectually elevate the girls.—
But more than this, girls themselves arc morally ele
vated by the presence of boys, mid the boys are intellec
tually elevated by the presence of girls. Boys brought
up with girls arc made more posit ively intellectual bv
the softening influence af the female character.
The Marietta JUvocalc of the lffill inst.,says : \Vc un
derstand that Gov. Brown during his visit to Marietta
the present week closed the purchase of the Georgia
Military Institute, in compliance with an act passed by
the last Legislature for that purpose. The transfer to
the State, has not been made sooner owing to a dispu
ted title to one of tho lots of land included in the prop
erty. This having been settled at the present Court,
there was no longer,an obstacle to the change of owner
ship, and the Institute will bo henceforth under Stato
management. It is now inaflourishingconditjon, num
bering between one hundred and twenty-five, and one
liundrjd and thirty Cadets and under Stato manage
ment hns every prospect for increased success and ex
tended usefulness. s
* The Cabinet W eighed.
The Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan, it appears from the
the following, which we find among the items of an ex
change, have been “ weighed in tho balance, und arc
not found wanting” :
“ The President’s Cabinet is a weighty one intellect
ually and physically. Gen. Cass the Premier, weighs
about two hundred pounds; Secretary Cobb, two hun
dred and seventeen; Post Mastor General Brown one
hundred and seventy-seven; Secretary Toucey one
hundred and eighty-six; Secretary Thompson one
hundred and forty-seven; while Gov. Floyd of Y T a.,
weighs only one hundred and seventy-nine.
Ah! let Woman Speak.
! The distress and suffering entailed upon the female
sex by intoxicating liquors has been eounded in the pub
lic ear until it has become an insipid tale which is told
without effect; but its truthfulness will never be im
paired so long as the corrupting beverage is drank by
’ men. The laws of our country have erroneously wres
-1 ted from women the privilege of proclaiming their op
pressions in public, but we thank Heaven that they now
; and then brave popular sentiment nnd rmg their wrongs
! in the cars of those who should be their protectors. Ex
! Governor Briggs, of Massachusetts, relates a touching
j and telling incident of an old woman addressing a large
, audience with magic effect. He says: “In a thriving
| borough of Pennsylvania, the inhabitants had assembled,
j as was their usual custom, to decide what number, it
j any, of licenses the town should petition from the
j County Court, from whence they were issued. There
I was a full attendance. One of the most respectable
| Magistrates of the borough presided, and upon the plat
! form were seated, among others, the clergyman of the
j village, one of his deacons and the physician.
After the meeting had been called to order, one of the
i most respectable citizens of the borough rose, and after
: a short speech moved that the meeting petition for the
i usual number of licenses. They had better license good
! men nnd Jet them sell. The proposition seemed to meet
! with almost universal favor. It was an excellent way
; to get along quietly, nnd one nnd then another in their
■ turn expressed their hope that such a course would bo
adopted.
The President was about to put the question to the
j meeting, when an object rose in a distant part of the
i building, and all eyes were instantly turned in that di
| rection. It was an old woman, poorly clad, and whose
j care-worn countenance was the painful index of no light
! suffering. And yet there was something in the flash of
: the bright eye that told she had once been what she was
| not.- She addressed the President, and said, with his
| permission she wished to say a few words to the meet
ing. She had come because she had heard that they
were to decide the license question,
t * You,’ said she, ‘all know who 1 am. YoU once
; knew me the mistress of one of the best estates in thebor
! ough. 1 once had a husband and five sons; and woman
, never hrd a kinder husband—mother never had five bet
| ter or more affectionate sons. But where are they now ?
j Doctor, I ask where arc they now ? In yonder burying
ground there are six graves filled by that husband and
those five sons, and oh ! they arc all drunkard’s graves.
; Doctor, how came they to be drunkards ? You would
come and drink with them, and you told them that tem
perate drinking would do them good. And you too,
Sir, addressing the clergyman, would come and drink
with my husband, and my sons thought they might
drink with safety, because they saw you drink. Dea
con. you sold them rum which made them drunkards.
You have now got my farm and all my property, and
you got it all by runt. And now,’ she said, * I have
done my errand. Igo hack to the poor-house, for that
is my home. You, reverend Sir, you. Doctor, and you.
Deacon, I shall never meet again, until I meet you at
the bar of God, where you, too. will meet my ruined
and lost husband and those five sons, who through your
means und influence fill the drunkard graves.’
The old woman sat down. Perfect silence prevailed,
; until broken by the President, who rose to put the ques
! tion to the meeting—shall we petition the Court to issue
• licenses to this borough the ensuing year? and 4hen
one unbroken ‘ No!’ —which made the very walls re
echo with the sound, told the result, of the old woman’s
appeal.”
In many portions of the country the women, seeing
that their repeated appeals to the sterner sex arc un
heeded and unnoticed, have taken up the club them
selves and demolished the old enemy which cursed their
homes. An exchange says: “Thirty women of Fred
ericksburgh, Wayne county, Ohio, made the tour of
that village last wock, and destroyed the liquor in the
tavern and two grogshops. The leaders of the women
were two who had suffered with drunken husbands.”
Another exchange says: “ A petition signed by
nineteen hundred and thirty-three ladies was presented
to the Maine Legislature, a few days since, setting forth
the immense amount of suffering growing out of the
repeal of the law of’ss, and praying for the enactment
of an efficient Prohibitory Law. Several smaller peti
tions like this have been presented, showing that the
ladies have an interest in this matter which should be
respected. The wives, mothers and daughters are really
the greatest sufferers in this rum business, and have a
right to be heard, even in the halls of legislation.
Progress of Temperance in the Slate*.
VERMONT.
At the Orange County Convention held at Chelsea,
January 28th, the Rev. Mr. Wittemore, discussed the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That this Convention is ready to take the
broad temperance ground, that. Alcohol, tor every pur
pose, ought to be forthwith banished from the world.
The speaker argued very ably and earnestly in the
affirmative, and was listened to with much interest.
The Convention udopted the resolution.
The following resolutions were also adopted
Whereas, It is believed a great majority of the agents
in our respective towns have far exceeded their duty in
the sale of liquor under the stat ute, therefore
Resolved, As the sense oft his Convention, the County
Committc should charge the agents to sell for chemical
purposes only to those well known as scientific and
practical chemists, nor to mechanics, except to those
whose business requires the article, and for medical
purposes only in small doses, such as doctors adminis
ter to their patients.
SEW HAMPSHIRE.
Plan of Action. —At the late State Convention in
New Hampshire, the following plan of actioa was
adopted:
j Two classes of work seem now to demand the atten
; tion of the friends of Temperance in this state —both de
| signed to distribute and make personal the labor now
1 needed.
, The first class wc style the primary labor, to be done
:in the neighborhoods, school districts and towns. The
J main feature being the use of the Pledge constantly for
! signatures.
Also, Temperance Conferences in towns and districts
j in which the common people relate Experiences and
i views; aiming at the creating, educating, and animat
: ting a just public sentiment and feeling for the Suppres
| sion of Intemperance.
The second class we term the organic mode, viz : by
local conventions or meetings, called from two or sev
eral adjacent towns, systematically organized—the plan
of meeting settled beforehand, and definite work pre
pared, as far ns may bo.
Out of these meetings wc should look for concerted
I action in prosecution, and in direct attack upon abusers
j ofthe Law.
! As few and as many towns uniting in these meetings
I as can work efficiently ; the State Committee to appor
! tion these sectional meetings, as judged best—send a
: plan of meeting with circulars to someone or more
| tried friends of Temperance in the district, that ihev
; may call, or cause to be cnlled, the meetings.

Shutting up Shop. —The Newburyport Herald says,
the city marshal of Newburyport reports that five liquor
sellers discontinued sales last week. There have been
; others notified by the police to follow the same track.
We understand it to be the intention of the new city
government to make clean work of the matter, and con
iine the sale of spirituous liquors to one agent for the
whole city.
NEW JERSEY.
Bishop Bayley, Catholic bishop, has issued an official
manifesto against the vice of drunkeunesee, and against
those dealers in alcoholic beverages who minister
thereto. He suggests to his parochial clergy that each
shall keep a list of the drunkards and also oi’ the liquor
dealers connected with his church, and adds :
“ 1 am determined to make use of the most severe
: measures against all who are addicted to this scanda
lous and destructive vice; and if they continue in the
practice of it, they must do it as outcasts front the
Catholic church, who have no right to the name of
Catholic while they live, nor to Christian burial when
they die.” •
Wc hope the bishop will go farther, and propose at
least n homily against moderate drinking, which is the
parent of all the drunkenness. Let the bishop and his
clergy set an example in this matter, nud who can tell
the result. <
J’tJtKSYLVANIA.
In the Senate the following resolution, introduced by
Mr. Gazzant, of the Assembly, was recently passed by
an overwhelming majority. YVe have not heard of any
action upon it in the Houses
Resolved, That the Committee on Vico anti Immor

of Inspector of Liquors for each county, or for districts
composed of several counties; said bill to provide tor
the compensation of said Inspectors out. ot the funds

Mr. Ramsey, of Philadelphia, ha 9 introduced inio the ;

MARYLA.NI).
The Maryland State Temperance Society is one of
j the oldest in the country, and has not lailed io hold reg
ularly its anniversary. On thesth of February it heldits
; twenty-ninth, the llonoroble Alexander Randallpresid
i ing. The Report was read by the Rev. Mr. Cross,
Corresponding Secretary. For twenty-seven years,
‘ the meeting had been held in the hall of the House of
i Delegates. “The Society had succeeded in establish
| ing as a settled truth thnf the Legislature have power
| to abolish the traffic in intoxicating liquors, if the good
iof the State required it. They have also made the im
pression upon the Legislature that it is not a more ques
tion of revenue, but a dreadful sore upon the body po
litic; that they are in duty bound to use such remedies
as will cure it; that no wise body will license lor a rev
enue a business which is only productive of disease,
poverty, and crime ; that on this principle, they might
i license felony, or authorize a madman to go abroad in
! the community with a knife or gun, risking the life of
every citizen he met, or permit men to sell diseased or
poisonous meat.
ILLINOIS.
The principle action of the State Convention held at
Bloomington on the 13th January, was in the adoption
of the following resolution :
“ Believing that the Temperance Reform will only
gain a general success through the agency of a stringent
prohibitory law, we, the members of the Illinois State
Temperance Alliance in convention at Bloomington as
sembled, do recommend the following plan of action to
the people of this State:
It being evident that a Prohibitory Law for the whole
State cannot for many years be secured, and feeling it
to be undesirable, as it will prove unsuccessful, to at
tempt enforcement of such law against the wishes of a
majority of the people in any section of the State, we
respectfully recommend to the people to ask of the next
Legislature the passage of a Prohibitory Law, wise in
its provisions and severe in its penalties, to be sub
mitted to the vote of the people in the several counties
for their endorsement or rejection at the ballot box. —
That in whatever counties the majority of the voters
shall endorse the law, there it shall be in full force and
validity. This vote to be taken annually at the Spring
election, giving the several counties a chance to come
into or go out of the ‘arrangement,’ according to the
peculiar will.”
MIBSOTOI.
During the week, January 18th.. several mass meet
ings were held at Newark, at which speeches were
made and resolutions passed in reference to dram sell
; ing and dram drinking. A committee of seven were ap
pointed at one of the meetings to call upon the liquor
sellers of our village and request them to stop the un
| righteous traffic in our midst. The committee thusap
, pointed attended to their duty, and reported that all cn

nor give away any more in Newark. On Friday even
ing of the week, at a tremendous gathering of the mas

; and seconded by the crowd, that we purchase all the
i rot-gut and blue-ruin whiskey from the liquor dealers

whiskey purchased, (five barrels,) rolled out into the
public square, heads knocked in, and set fire to and
burnt up. (By flic by it was hard to burn, as there was
rather too much water or too little spirit, we don't
know which.) This resolution was opposed by but one

The registration of a letter under the plan at present
in use in our post offices, besides involving trouble
and expense, is simply an advertisement to all those
through whose hands the letter passes, that it contains
money or some other valuable enclosure. The conse
quence is that a larger proportion of registered letter?
miscarry than of those which arc not distinguished from
the rest as containing money or something else of value.
The system is confessedly a failure, as it is— an annoy
ance to post masters—an expense to those who are com
pelled to send money through the mail —and increases
the risk which they incur. A correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce, in the following letter, suggests in
lieu of it the system of postmaster’s drafts, which is
now in operation in England, The letter has attracted
our attention, because the same suggestion was made
to us by one of our subscribers a few days ago, as
something which if carried out, would not only obviate
the necessity of sending money by mail, but do away
with one of the strongest objections iq the prohibition
of change bills.— Constitutionalist.
Union Ciu’rcii, Jefferson Cor, Miss.. •
January 20th, 1858. i
I have been so unfortunate as to lose about twenty
dollars (S2O) during the past year, being money sent at
different times to different editors and book merchants
at the North. It seems to me that it would be the best
thing the administration or could do for edi
tors and newspaper subscribers,lf they would authorise
postmasters to receive and receipt tor such monies to a
small amount and issue their draft on postmasters at
the office of the payee, the Gen. P. O. itself becoming
responsible for such monies. You may be assured, sirs,
that such an arrangement would very much benefit the
editors and their patrons. I know by experience, and I
have the corroborating experience of multitudes, that
editors’ bills arc often lett unpaid because there is no
safe of sure method of paying them. Os course, you
can readily see how seriously it would advance the in
terest of the worthy, hardworking, badly paid fraternity
of the press, to have such.a law'passed. That such a
law might be abused by many faithless, dishonest post
masters, especially in large towns and cities, is of course
true. “ .
But might not the same consideration otdanger, & c.,
urged here, be urged in case of all government officials,
where much money is to be handled ? I think so. Be
sides, l believe postjnasters are generally appointed on
the petition of their neighbors, friends and acquain
tances, Now', can we sttpppge that a neighborhood
would unite in petitioning the General Postmaster to ap
point a notoriously unreliable or even suspicious man
as the postmaster of their neighborhood ? 1 thiak not.
Again: it w'oiild be only the interior towns and neigh
borhoods that have not the convenience of banks from
which to obtain drafts, that would be specially benefitted
by such an act; and in such places there would not
likely be enough money going through the hands of
Postmasters at any one time to tempt a man to do
wrong about it. I hope you will feel enough interest in
this matter to induce you to urge its utility and impor
tance zealously through your valuable and influedtial ’
journal.
Please pardon this forwardness on the part clone who
is an entire stranger to you. and nttribytte all I have
said, to my earnest desire to see (his additional public
convenience added to our mail facilities,

tf&'On the !>th of this month, the Hon. Charles
; Faulkner of Virginia, made a speech on tho Army ln
; crease Bill, in which we are sure lie utters the senti
ment of every good citizen ; it has dieted, from every
quarter, the warmest commendations. In the course
of his remarks, as reported in the followingparagrnpits,
he takes occasion to comment upon an article of a sou
thern newspaper, which advocated the pojjey of sending
j to Utah a body of volunteers, who would go there “in,
| spired by religious repugnances of the abominations of
Mormonism.” Wc may remark we arc indebted to a
j correspondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist for the
facts just stated, and the extract following:
“Sir, too much lias been urged in this country in fa.
vor of this expedition ns a movement against t lie religion
of the jnjople of Utah, I trust there is to be no religious
war stimulated from these halls of legislation. We
have nothing to do with the religion of Mint -people, re
pugnant and degrading as it may be. We have no li*
cease in the Constitution to ‘let loose the dogs of war’
— to hunt down any set of people lor their religion, no
matter how abliorent it may be. lie who goes to Utah,
whether as volunteer or regular, with the intent and
purpose of making war upon that people because of
their religion, will, if lie shed blood on such a mission,
have commuted murder in the eye of the Constitution.
Therein but one duty which devolves upon this govern
ment. It is to maintain tho supremacy of our authority
iu that territory. For all the rest, wc arc to trust to the
mild influences of Christianity ; wc must trust to the
benignant influences of our glorious form of free gov*
ornnmu under which, a a Jeflcraon has said, error may
be tolerated with reason left free to combat it.
“ No man will go further than I will in the perform
ance of the proper duty which devolves upon us. I as
sert our full dominion over the territories. I will go all
proper lengths to put down the Mormon rebellion. I
will crush it in every form, so far as it has arrayed itself
in opposition to the authority of this government. But
I would do it. by the regular, established, cool and unim
passioned judicial, and. if need be, military energies of j
the country,”

Monday, which is’tlie day fixed at Knoxville,
\V. Heard of Wilkes county, has been ap
pointed aid to his Excellency, Joseth E. with
rauH yf Cylopcl. , V
Mr. Toombs in Baltimore.
Th* Baltimore of the 13th inst. contains the pro
ceedings ot the meeting held in that city on Friday
evening, the 12th inst. at Temperance Temple, to sus- !
tain the Kansas policy of the administration, at which S
Senator Toombs was the principal speaker. The Svn
furnishes the following synopsis of his remarks:
.Mr. Toombs thanked the meeting for their kindly I
greeting, and gave his hearty assent to the principles I
embodied in the resolutions. The question before Con
gress, and which was exciting so much attention out of
doors, was not anew one. For forty years it has occu
pied much attention, and for eleven years nearly all the
attention of the people of the United States. The prin
ciples the true men North and Southland everywhere,
have been contending for these fortv years arc the prin
ciples of the resolutions offered here to-night. The
question now was, whether the American Congress
shall usurp the rights of the Territories, or the Terri
tories shall maintain their own.
He held that Kansas should be immediately admitted
into the Union, as a matter of policy and ofjustice. He
would take notice in what he intended to say of the ob
jections to this course, and among the objectors they
would recognise the old enemies of the Democratic party
under anew name. The leopard could not change his
skin, and never can the enemies of popular government
shield themselves from the popular gaze. The Amer
ican Congress may admit new States in accordance with
the Constitution—there is no difficulty about the power.
New States were admitted into the Union from 1788
to 1820, with Constitutions .such as they saw proper to
make. No man opposed or denied this power, except in
the North-west Territory ; but in all the rest ot the j
States brought in, till 1820, no public man or portion of j
the people claimed that Congress had the power to con- i
trol the people in making a Constitution in any way they !
wanted, but in such a way as they wanted. There is j
no clause in the Constitution of the United Staterequir- >
ing a State to make a Constitution —it was only neces- :
sary for them to have a republican form of government.
If they had no Constitution it was their own business.
Jefferson had said that the old federal party, despair
ing of retaining power bv honest means, sought to wrig
gle themselves into power by raising sectional issues, j
and that was the very beginning of this question. From ;
that old federal party, every Whig, Republican and j
Know Nothing is a lineal descendant. Missouri applied !
next for admission with a Constitution recognising sla
very, and these Republicans and others said—You shall j
not come in. Not because you have not a republican gov
ernment—no; but because it did not suit the New En- j
gland States. A great contest arose from one end of
the country to the? other.
There was not a Freesoiler in Congress—and he :
knew them for thirteen years past —who eared a dime I
for the black man ; they have carried on this hypocrisy j
in order to defeat the Democratic party. If he wanted j
partners now in the African slave trade, he would just j
as soon go to these Frecsoilcrs as anyone else; they
even now have shares in such expeditions. They agreed 1
to admit Missouri by putting in a clause that there
should be no more slave States North of 3C° 30', but did !
any State in the Union agree to this condition through j
their legislature, or was any public meeting held to on- >
dorse it ? Not one. They have resolved that there i
should be no more slave States, and Rufus King gave i
the reason when he said it was n question of political I
power. It was not the poor African’s. Neither party, i
North or South, was satisfied with the arrangement, j
The Democrats have asked them for the power they as- j
sutned,sand the principle of their action, and they said
they had none—they had the majority.
Mr. Toombs then proceeded to give a history of the j
admission of Texas, California, Ac. down to the begin- :
’ting Qf the Kansas question, the passage of the Kansas.
Nebraska bill, and the intention of that act, Bv repeal
ing the Missouri prohibition they only left the people the
same right they always had over slavery—to prohibit it
or establish it, as the people of a Territory saw proper.
The subsequent transactions itt Kansas “were next re
viewed in the most graphic manner, as well as the con
test which has resulted in Congress. He (Mr. Toombs)
hud int roduccd a bill in Congress so as to enable the people j
to vpto fairly; it passed the Senate, \yont to the House, 1
where It received every Democratic vote, and was op.
posed by every Republican. They did not pass the bill,
but sent back to the Senate, Topeka—nothing but To
peka.
Subsequently, in electing delegates to the convention
in Kansas, the Republicans stood off and would not vote;
they were something like the |>eople when Noah was
building the ark—they stood off, and they did not be- !
lieve there would be a flood, but there was. They now i
tell ps in Kansas if we don’t do as they want, they will |
take up arms—some twenty.flve hundred vagabonds in
rebellion against the twenty,five million of the people
of these United States!
Mr. Toontbs concluded, by saying that the punish
ment lie intended to inflict on these rebels was to give
them a free Constitution and admit them into the Union.
They offered, such miscreants as they arc, to be ad
mitted into the Union, and they don’t want to accept it.
He intended to get rid of this question as soon as possi
ble—to let them settle the matter in their own way.
Should the smoke of the incendiary curl over the top of
every cubjn in Kansas, lie would make them free and get
rid of the question.
Mr, Toombs retired amid loud applause,
j To the Memory of Miss Isabella If. Bcazety late of Tal
iaferro, Ga.
There lies beneath a little mound,
Cold in her native earth,
A much loved one by all around.
Who knew her sterling worth!
During brief years of trials past,
Site qcted wpll her part,
And for her virtues may lie class’d,
With the upright in heart,
*
As daughter, friend and Christian too,
Her memory is blest,
i And with a better world iu view,
Site calmly sunk to rest.
And she whose body now lies cold,
Beneath the turfsite trod,
Lived in the faith that Christians held.
And died in pence with God.
Rest then, dear, gentle, happy soul

In brighter beauty bloom,

Jlr. Editor : Thinking that you would probably like
to hear from this “ region ’’ of the country, I embrace a
few leisure moments, to pen you a line or two.
Monday, the Bth inst., was very inclement towards
its close. The congealed tears of Heaven fell thick and
fast—investing houses, trees, fences and fields in one
magnificent bridal robe, while the wind sent forth a mer
ry carol of gladness over the beautiful scene. Pedestri
ans might be seen hurrying to and fro, and blinded by
the falling snow-flake suddenly coming into collision
with some other pedestrians, whose footsteps were
turned toward a different direction. Nothwithstanding
the “ dampness ’’ of the streets, the ardor of the “ Odd
Fellows” was not “damped,” for “ Washington and
Miller Lodges, I. O. O. F.,” united in celebrating the
introduction of their order in this city. .The speaker's
stand was beautifully decorated with banners and ap
propriate symbols of their order. One banner bad the
following noble motto inscribed upon it :
RELIEVE THE DISTRESSED.
VISIT TIIE SICK.
PROTECT THE WIDOW.
RPUCATE THE ORPHANS,
Bcv. J. E. R verson delivered before them one of his j
characterisiic speeches, upon the principles and aims of ;
Odd Fellowship, and enchained a numerous auditory j
who had assembled at Masonic Hall, for upwards of an {
hour.
‘Pile Young .Men's Christian Association, an organi- ;
nation recently started in our midst, commenced on j
Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock, in the Presbyterian j
Lecture Room, the first one of their daily prayer meet- j
itigs. It was very well attended, and the attendance j
at the subsequent ones was very large, averaging about j
100. Here can be seen I lie physician, the banker, the
merchant, the lawyer—all classes and conditions uni
ting in ottering up petitions to the throne ofgrace. The i
ladies turn out in large numbers, and seem interested j
in those prayer meeting. It has often been a source of ■
wonder to some, why so many more females united
with the church than males. But should wc wonder at J
it, when we recollect woman’s loving and affectionate
disposition!
“Not she with trait’rous kiss our Souviour stung; j
Not she denied him with unholy tongue; ,
s'Ac. when apostles shrank, could dangers brave,
Last at the cross, and earliest to the grave.” j
Oh! U is a soul-cheering sight to sec thecrowd rush
ing: every evening to the place where prayer is made. 1
verily believe that wc are on the eve of a glorious revi
val in this city. The interest increases with each meet
ing. and a marked change is going on in onr midst.
On Sunday night, 14th instant, Rov. J. S. Lamar dc
livered, at the Christian Church, a lecture before the
Young Men's Christiun Association. Ilis theme was
“ Mental and Spiritual Improvement,” and well and
ably vas the subject treated. It was a beautiful, chas
tened and eloquent production.. The meetings will be
continued during this week.
It is rumored that a Temperance Society, formed on
the plan oi the Washingtonians, comprising some ofour
most wealthy and influential citizens as members, will
soon he organized. Success to them. .

ing a temperance town. If Augusta is a temperance
town, 1 am truly sorry for those that are cursed with in
temperance. The Dispatch has not seen the “elephant”

When coldness wraps this suffering clay,
Ah I wlffther strays tlie immortal mind !

But leaves its darkened dost behind. - ’
Died, at her residence at Mount Zion, Hancock co.
on the sth February, 1858, Mrs. FRANCES NEEL
consort of John H. Neel, and eldest daughter of Warren
Andrews, Esq. of Greene county.
‘ Mrs. Neel, while with her parents, was an example
for children—an interesting associate—as the friends of
her youth will testify. She seemed, at all times after
she attained the age of maturity to regard sacred things
with that reverence which becomes humanity, and In
November, 1854, she joined the Baptist church at
Smyrna, in Greene county, fier short connection w ith
the church, it may be truly said, was consistent with
the character of a Christian. “ Blessed are the dead
that die in the Lord.”
The companion, parents and numerous friends of Mrs.
Neel arc lett to mourn their own loss, not hers, for we
all believe she is happy now. A friend,
• <i-i>
“ But I have learned to call them blest
. In childhood’s early morn, who die.”
Died, in Atlanta, March 13th, MARY WILLIAM
SPENCER, only child of Dr. Thomas S. and .Airs. Ju
lia L. Powell, aged four years and six months.
But a few weeks since the parents of this little girl
left our village to make their home among strangers.
It is true they were leaving behind many warmed
kindred hearts ; but their all was centered in this their
only child, a pale and drooping lilly though she was ;
yet, she was the idol around which their heart-strings
clung. But the “ death-angel” breathed upon the fra
gile flower—she drooped and passed away just as the
roses of spring were shedding abroad their sweet per
fume, and the childless parents weep in vain for the lit
tle one, whose grave even they may not visit at eve
ning's soft, twilight hour, there to mingle their tears
over the sod that covers their child. They could not
lay that little form in a stranger home, but among kin
dred dust the scones that were most familiar to this
little child. They dug its grave—a tinv grave—under
the aged oaks that adorn onr grave-yard, and there thev
laid her “softly down to rest.” Sleep on, little Mary
Will—the bud lies withered but it shall bloom a<raiii
and you, vc sorrowing parents, who mourn in sadness
now, your night ot grief will pass away; your child
awaits you over the river—bow in submission.
“ This cup of bitterness
win pas# away. He chastencth in his love—
Let not your heart rebel. God gave—he took—
He will restore—he doeth alt things well.”
