Stand br you* Color*.
Let the swelling tide of ruin bear on; let its dark
Wmrse widen and expand, until its foul floods shall
sweep over every beautiful retreat and moral garden
spot in our land; let its withering curse, ten thousand
times worse than the hot Simoom of the desert, or the
plagues of Egypt, destroy all that is redeeming in reli
gion, beautiful in holiness and admirable in morality;
but let the champions and lovers of the reformation
which we have espoused still wear their spotless livery.
The tide will ebb again, when we shall advance nearer
its margin and build eternal barriers to chafe its foaming
billows. Cities, towns, hamlets and villages may mark,
like old Sodom and Gomorrah, the desolating path of
the besom ; the debris of shattered intellects, immortal
minds, and once stalwart, manly frames, shall tell of its
eternal blight, but its mad career shall be checked.
Stand by your Colors. The religion of Jesus Christ
excepted, our cause is the most holy and God-like, the
world has ever known since the star of Bethlehem shone
upon the plains of Judea. It has been a little more than
a quarter of a century since its first note struck in with
the ribald songs of bacchanalian revelry, and who can
now pumber its triumphs ? When it first hoisted the
▼eil that shrouded the rankling corruptions of
psrance, and exposed the demon in all his horrid deform
ity, the scales fell from the eyes of men, and they lifted
their hands to Heaven with holy horror, crying for de
liverance. The dry bones of the valley were moved—
bone went to its bone ; sinews waxed strong as steel,
and the convicted and converted stood up an exceeding
great army. Wine-vats, breweries and distilleries were
dried up, liquor-shops perished for custom, the waste
places blossomed like the rose, and streams of mercy
and universal gladness flowed fast by the Oracle of God.
It was regarded as the most glorious victory of virtue
over vice man had ever seen, and had its friends re
mained true to their obligations, blessings as mighty as
the rivers and exhaustless as the soil, would have flowed
down in ever-growing richness to all future generations.
But like every other revolutionary struggle in which
man has ever engaged, our cause has been cursed by re
ereant and apostate sons. Thousands once reclaimed,
returned to worship the false god of the wine-cap, and
to swell the hosts of our enemy; and by superior force
we were beaten back. “Hercules himself must yield to
odds.” But an ever glorious consolation cheers our
sparse numbers, for though we be few we have a strong
ally,
“And many strokes, tho’ with a small axe,
Hew down aad fell the hardest timbered oak.”
Stand by your Colors. And as you see this hell-born
monster exulting, with fiendish malevolence, over his
triumphal march, breaking father’s hearts, blighting
parental hope, making wives widows, children orphans,
paupers and beggars—filling the land with idleness, dis
ease and crime—crowding jails, penitentiaries, poor
houseßand asylums—defaming benevolence, scorning
love, hating virtue, and slandering innocence—inciting
the father to butcher his offspring, the husband to mas
sacre his wife, and the child to grind the paricidal axe;
in short, as you look upon him blasting the whole earth,
burning up man, consuming woman, cursing God and
despising Heaven, let your hearts burn with pious in
dignation, and your hands clutch tighter round the hilt
of your faithful sword preparatory to a fierce and end
less conflict.
Stand by your Colors. The refluent tide shall soon
begin its course. Men, women and children will soon
raise new cries for deliverance from the overpowering
flood. In the language of our western namesake, the
land smokes with blood. There is a crimson glare by
nearth and saloon. The cry of murder rings out on the
night air, and the clots of its slaughter are thick upon the
morning altar. The active hells of our country are
belching violence and death. Midnight assassination
strikes hands with noonday butchery, and together lift
boldly their smoking hands to the public gaze. Half
chilled corpses are by the desolate hearth, and inno
cence wailing and sobbing upon lips which are cold for
ever. The enginery of the pit, driven by the power of
the people, rolls on in infernal grandeur, and grinds to
ruin the maddened hosts. The greenest, holiest sanc
tuaries ol earth are wasting hour by hour by public
sanction, and hopes of earth and heaven buried forever
under the blasting scoria of the lava flow. The land is
filled with wo, rottenness and death. And yet the peo
ple have not suffered enough! The annual conscription
of the accursed traffic must be met. Pauperism and
crime must have Iresh hosts. There are hungry graves
to gorge, worms to fatten and hell to surfeit. “On
with the slaughter,” shout the legislators and dema
gogues, and the people respond amen. There are still
homes to be desolated, nopes to blast, and souls to kill.
There are tragedies yet to freeze the blood, and sor
rows to pall the earth with wo. Whisky must be made,
sold and paid for.

Intemperance in Augusta.
The two following short articles were communicated
to the Augusta papers of last week, and we transfer
them to our columns to let it be known that there are at
least a few citizens of that beautiful city, who are op
posed to the filthy groggeries which curse the place.
.The statements contained in the article of “ Sentinel”
are humiliating truths concerning the present moral
Character of Augusta. Low, filthy little five-cent re
tail-shops have sprung into existence upon every cor
ner, outraging the senses of decent people with their
Sickening stench. When the citizens of Augusta have
snuffed in the polluting miasmas from these lick-log sinks
until they become disgusted and shall sweep them from
their streets, alleys and corners, then we will all unite
trith them in pronouncing Augusta the model city o.
the State.
The result of the trials this week, discloses the as
tounding fact, that for the trifling sum imposed on the
liquor dealers, as fines, varying from $lO to SSO, (scarcely
in any case equal to the profits of one week of their ihi
(juitous traffic,) they are at liberty to ruin our negroes
in health, by selling them dregged liquors, to incite them
to rob their owners, to lead them into quarrels, mur
ders, insurrections, and everything that is abominable
under the sun. The fault is not in the Court, but in the
law! The people should call upon their Representatives
to enact laws, making it a Penitentiary offense to sell
liquor to, or trade with negroes, and on the second of
fense, let it be death by the hangman. If such laws
were enacted, it would put an end to all this trouble
and we would have a sober, well-disposed set of ser
vants.
Let the severity of the penalty be known and none of
these dealers would run the risk of the sale, but now
they know that conviction imposes a fine which they
can easily pay out of their first barrel. These are the
,WWBpfa Sufferer.
Mr. Editor: The recent detection ot so large a num
ber of persons engaged in selling liquor to slaves, is well
calcuted to awaken attention to the baneful use of in
toxicating beverages, not only by negroes, but also by

State Temperance Convention.
We have been laboring under the erroneous idea, that
the time for our Annual Convention was the last of
July; but on examining the minutes of last meeting,
we find that the time which was then fixed upon, is the
fourth Wednesday of this inst. We regret our negli
gence in the matter, and plead the custom heretofore of
holding the Convention in July, as the cause of our de
ception.
But what say our friends to holding a Convention
sometime in July or August f We suggest that the
matter had betteHoe discussed through the papers.
Letter from a Lady.
The following sensible and beautifully expressed ideas
are extracted, without authority, fiom a private letter
written by one of our warm female friends. We hope
she will not censure us for putting them in print:
“ For a number of years, we have subscribed for this
paper, and have in all time past stood firm, as we still
do, on the platform of Total Abstinence, believing in the
doctrine advanced in your address of Mayday, that
though temperance has not yet saved all the people, yet,
like the Christian Religion, it is held out like the ser
pent which was lifted up in the wilderness, and that its
influence is only good, and that continually. lam proud
to see so much talent enlisted in behalf of the tempo v
ance cause of late, and have long been pained and as
tonished that a few ol the great, the wise and benevolent (? j
ol our land have made this paper a vehicle of their
views and principles, when the tide of opposition has
been so varied and so insidious in form, as well as so
wide-spreading in its influence for evil upon our young
people, the hope (or should be, the hope and strength)
ol our country. Alas ! for that quality, moral courage,
so much admired and talked of; yet, how little of it we
see and feel!
In years past, there was a chaste, promising writer in
the up-country of Georgia, (I think his name was M.
H. Looney,) where has he hid his harp ? Is he the
proprietor of that promising school in one of the upper
counties ? I thought it might be the same whose pen
used to touch gracefully the Banner of bygone years.
I never saw his face, but the impression on my memory
is pleasant and indelible. I would like to hear of him
again ; for it his good genius still attends him, it must
require a greater effort to keep silence than it would to
“ sing that song again,” &c.
And Mrs. M. E. Bryan, sweet minstrel of our sunny
south ; she has come in to fill the place made vacant by
the death of Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz. And so young!
too young to have written so much, and to have ma
tured so fast; for I tremble as I contemplate so preco
cious a development of the mind, because the machinery
must soon wear out from over exertion. lam presu
ming too far, perhaps, to express so freely and gratui
tously, my opinions on a subject in which I am but re
motely interested ; yet, it is the sincere expression of a
real sentiment. There has been very little of real talent
exhibited by the authors of southern literature—not
because we lack talent as a people, but on the whole,
we have not been a reading people; and what we do
read, for the most part, has been of an evanescent cha
■ racter —such as afforded no real food for thought or
reflection, and left the reader all the poorer; and the
reading few have looked forth in disgust, and if per
chance their souls were stirred by some pure aspiration
which might have enriched our home literature and
delighted a kindred spirit, the thought ot casting pearls
before swine has discouraged and driven modest worth
back into retirement, where they shut in their ‘gems oi
purest ray serene,’ and only a discriminating friend
could be able to discover that worth or talent was the e.
i I hope Mrs. Bryan will become the Hannah Moore or
( Mrs. Sigourney of the South —of these she reminds me
—also of Mrs. Norton. She has talent, strength, purity
• and variety—all I fear is, that she will write too much
t and perish in her prime. I would like to know, person
. ally, one whose gifts are so rich and rare. May she
, rightly use them, is the prayer of H. A. S.
A Henpecked Husband in the Woman’s
! Rights Convention.
1 One poor fellow who seems to have found the mar
-1 riage pillows anything but a bed of roses, ventured to
raise his voice for the rights of husbands in the Wo
man’s Rights Convention in New York. The follow
ing were his melancholy remarks, as reported in the
New York Post :
* At this stage of the proceedings Lucy Stone arose to
speak; but a man at one side of the hall, who had made
: several frantic attempts to get the floor, succeeded in
r arresting the attention of the President. He was a tall,
s lank man, with deep lines upon his countenance, and
the peculiar workingofthe muscles of his face gave him
a singular appearance. The President reminded him
i that Lucy Stone had the floor. [Cries of “Stone,”
[ “ Stone,” and applause.]
The individual in question during this confusion came
forward, muttering half audibly that he must dissent
from what Mrs. Farnham had said. [Cries of “ Stone,”
hisses and applause.]
Lucy Stone said she would yield the floor if the man
would not speak so long as to prevent her saying what
she wanted to. [Applause.]
The individual having got the floor, gave his name
as Senor Maraque, and said he must dissent from what
Mrs Farnham had said. She claimed that woman was
superior to man, but when she claimed to be his superior
she asked too much, and dampened the hopes of all the
rising generation. [Laughter, applause, hisses, and
cries of “Who has claimed it?”] Woman, said he,
can be the savior, but not the god of man. And one ot
the greatest evils that can happen is to have a woman
claimed to be ahead of the man. I know what this is
from bitter experience. [Uproarious laughter and ap
plause.]
lam very glad, gentleman, for your applause, No
man has suffered more than I from the tyrannical usur
pation of a woman. [Renewed laughter, stamping ot
feet, clapping of hands and cries of “ Give us your ex
[ perience.”] There is nothing'so good as experimental
knowledge, and I tell you, gentlemen, I know what it
is. When Women comes to lord it over men, the earth
will be a scene of riot, bloodshed, confusion, wretched
• ness and suffering, if I am a judge; and who knows, it
, not those who have experienced the tyranny of a wo
man ? [Great laughter and applause, the President re
* minding the audience that they were wasting time, and
i requesting order.] I want women to be helpmates on
. the same plan as man; but when they claim to go ahead
of us, they ask too much. Oh! that will be the sad day
for this earth when the power goes into the hands ot
women. I know it, I tell you; for I know it from sad
experience. [The speaker here drew adeep sigh, which
| brought down a perfect storm of laughter.]
) Mrs. Farnham said the convention had just had an
example of what is rare, to wit: a case of the martyr
dom of a man to the tyranny of a woman. The mar
-1 tyrdom was generally on the other side. If a few more
1 such confessions could be brought out, it might convince
the women of their errors.
| A man with a long red beard protested that Senor
! Maraque had not been allowed a fair chance and that the
1 President had shown an anxiety to choke him off.
Lucy Stone next took the floor, and was speaking
when our reporter left.
A Lady’s Opinion of a Lady’s Man.
Mrs, Stephens, in her excellent monthly magazine,
thus “pitches in” against a class of men which is be
coming far too numerous in this metropolis, says the
Washington Star. Hear what she says :
“Our own private opinion of the Lady’s Man is,
that he is thoroughly contemptible—a sort of specimen
hardly worth thinking about —a nutshell with the ker
nel withered up—a handful of foam drifting over the
wine of life, something not altogether unpleasant to the
fancy, but of no earthly use. A woman of sense would
as soon put to sea in a man-of-war made of shingles, or
take up her residence in a card house, as dream ot at
taching herself to a lady-killer.
“ Women worth the name are se’dom deceived into
thinking our iady’s man the choicest specimen of his
sex. Whatever their ignorance may be, womanly in*
i tuition must tell them that the men who live for great
objects, and whose spirits are so firmly knit that they
are able to encounter the storms of life—men whose
depth and worth of feeling resemble the powerful cur
rent of a mighty river, and not the bubbles on its sur
face, who, if they love, are never smitten by mere beauty
of form or leatures —that these men are far more wor
thy even of occupying their thoughts in idle moments
than the fops ana men about town with whose atten
tions they amuse themselves. If we were to tell him
[ this he would only laugh; he has no pride about him,
although full of vanity; and it matters not to him what
we may broadly affirm or quietly insinuate.
“ Soft and delicate though he be, he is as impervi
-1 ous to ridicule as a hod-carrier, and as regardless of hon
est contempt as a city alderman. Were you to hand
hitn this article, he would take it to some social party,
and read it aloud in the most mellifluous voice as an
homage to his own attractions.”— Washington Star.
An Affectionate Husband.
Harlan Hjrde of Greenville, Conn., lost his third wife
one year ago. About a week since lie wont to the cem
etery, dug open the grave, opened the coffin and took
out—what ? a set of false teeth, for the sake of the gold
plate! Hyde confesses and justifies himself. He is
about fifty years of age, a house carpenter by trade, in
comfortable circumstances as to property, and a member
of a Christian church. He tried to get the teeth out as
she lay dead in his house before the funeral, but the rigid
muscles would not relax. The women of Greenville
wish to tar and feather him.
There is a grocer up town, who is said to be so mean
that he was seen to catch a fly off his counter hold him
up by his hind legs and look into the cracks of his feet
to see nhe hadn t been stealing some of his sugar. ’
‘.s*’ - - V
submit the following contribution to our rea
ders, without any expression of our own views. The
writer has certainly chosen the most attractive among
subjects—‘ fair woman*—and so far as her pfaise is spo
ken, we fully indorse ;
An Earnest Word to Females.
More than four-sevenths of the marriages in Massa
chusetts are among the foreign born. Why is it? For
the most simple of reasons—the foreign born can afford
to get married, and the native born cannot; and this
must be, so long as our extravagant modes of Ufa con
tinue. In social life, there never was a people tending
to deeper and more destructive social corruption—and
that is most evident from the records oi all the courts,
and the columns of all the newspapers—than Araeri
cans. Our fathers used to tell of the profligacy ofPar
is; their children tell of the mysteries of New York, a
city not far behind any in Europe. And making pro
per allowances for size, how is New York ahead of
other cities and towns ? Once was the time when a wife
was a “help meetnow, in a thousand cases, you can
change the “meet” to “eat,” and make it read more
truthfully.
This is the first paragraph of a painfully interesting
article upon the subject of which it treats. If the truth
stated applies peculiarly to the North, (and we believe
that to be true,) it by no means loses application as it
travels tarther South.
If we were not so familiar with the temperance ques
tion, as well in its successes as its evils, we might, for
a moment, be lost in wonder at that persistence in er
ror manifested by so large a class of females, as it bears
upon the subject in the quotation above. But error,
when the product of appetite, fondness for display or
ease, is the hardest of things to combat; it is a Gibral
tar which nothing less than time, patience, treasure,
tears and blood will force to yield. Indeed, the evils
with which society is infested, if looked at in all their
enormity and inveteracy, and the only hope of their
cure poor, feeble man, were enough at once to fill the
struggling victim and fainting mother with despair, and
drive from the field every self-sacrificing and noble soul,
who, filled with highest philanthropy, is this day bat
tling against the “powers of darkness.” For after all,
man is only the victim of these evils, and not the origi
nator or real perpetuator. We can never yield assent
to the belief that man could ever have concocted or put
in motion the multiform curses which so weigh down
and debase him—which rob him of his otherwise boun
teous store of earthly pleasures.
’Tis passing strange that victims of any evil should
remain so utterly blind to their condition, or manifest
so little real concern to rid themselves of a thraldom
apparent to others, and after all is the source of their
woe!
Infatuation! word of horrid meaning; release thy
hapless victims—burst the chains ofthine own forging—
return to thine own pit, nor wander hence again, de
ceiving and to deceive—clasping in thy cold and cruel
arms those who once occupied a giddy height on the
mount of innocence, but who have fallen— -fallen, so
low! for whom a God bathed himself in blood—over
whom angelß, perchance, have shed many a tear —and
at the good fortune of whom they certainly rejoice.
Pray, be gone, nor essay to hold him again in such
strange and cruel bondage.
If, upon the subject of “ strong drink,” thousands of
our own sex give the best evidence of madness, what
are we authorized to say with reference to the extrava
gances and errors of women in their sphere ! In their
contemplation the heart sickens. Their evil conse
quences may not be estimated. Mothers of American
freeman ! noble matrons, the few of you who remain,
possessing the spirit and worthy the days of’76, while
the “silver chord” is being loosed, and the “golden
bowl’’broken, pray, in humanity’s name—for Heav
en’s own sake, let your mantles fall upon some of the
thousands you leave behind.
In contrast with the retiring generation of mothers,
what is the comparative worth of those incoming ?
With every desire for the fullest justice to the sex un
der consideration, (God bless them—no one shall excel
us in kindness of feeling for or action toward them) re
spect for the majesty of truth demands that we should
at least say this much: Many of us, now at manhood’s
estate, can proudly boast of mothers, who either have
successfully served their day and generation, or are do
ing so; but, judging by the shadows already cast be
fore, there will be but few tnothers of the next genera
tion. Human beings will still live, and move, and have
their existence; will labor and bring forth in sorrow,
an offspring, diseased in physical conformation, weak
in intellect, and shorn of that energy and endurance
which characterised the founders and defenders of*
American liberties and America’s generous soil; these
will be “ wet-nursed ” and fashioned, as far assuch ma
terial can be, by those who may train them to sleep
over and count as a worthless boon the very liberties
we this day enjoy.
Young ladies of America—old ones, too—look well at
the picture—ponder long over a review of your own
characters, and answer your up-braiding conscience and
your Maker, in the light of immortality and the bear
ing upon that immortality of your country’s future des
tiny, and see what points of resemblance can be traced;
Are there any ? Are the two in perfect keeping ? So it
is in thousands of cases, or else these lines would not
have been written. Is there one who can be induced
to reflect —reflect seriously upon this subject ? Then suf
fer a word of earnest exhortation.
As has been truthfully declared, “life is realeach
have their part to act—yea, verily, the delicate Miss
who shrinks from toil as the pure mind does from vice,
has to work, with system and diligence, letting “pa
tience have her perfect work,” if she fills the place
which the great Disposer of all has assigned her. The
greatest aid to all this is to be found in the cultivation
of a serious and earnest nature, and in abstaining from
an excess of levity which is growing into a peculiarity
in the American female character.
It would be injustice to ourself to suffer the impres
sion to live, that our mind is filled with despair; on the
contrary, the capabilities, purity and benevolence of the
reflecting female character, gilds the future with the
brightest hopes ; and therein lies our trust for that fu
ture.
That most worthy of female writers, Mrs. Sigourney,
in the following language, though she does not take in
our whole ground, talks so much to the point, that we
cannot refrain adding her words just here, as a most
suitable conclusion to thi3 article:
HEALTH OF OUR DAUGHTERS.
Mothers, is there anything we can do to acquire for
our daughters a good constitution ? Is there truth in the
sentiment sometimes repeated, that our sex is becoming
more effeminate ? Are we as capable of enduring hard
ships as our grandmothers? Have our daughters as
much stamina of constitution —as much aptitude as we
ourselves possess ? These questions are not interesting
to us simply as individuals. They affect the welfare
of the community; for the ability or inability of woman
to discharge what the Almighty has committed to her,
touches the equilibrium of society, and the hidden
springs of existence.
Tenderly interested as we are for the health of our
offspring, let us devote peculiar attention to that of our
daughters. Their delicate frames require more care in
order to become vigorous, and are in more danger
through the prevalence of fashion. Frequent and thor
ough ablutions, a simple and nutritious diet, we should
secure for a[l our children.
But I plead for the little girl, that she may have air
and exercise, as well as her brother; that she may not
be too much blamed, if, in her earnest play, she hap
pens to tear and soil her apron; I plead that she may
not be punished as a romp, if she keenly enjoys those
active sports which city gentility proscribes; I plead
that the ambition to make her accomplished do not
chain her to a piano till the spinal column, which should
consolidate the frame, starts aside like a broken reed;
nor bow her over the book till the vital energy, which
ought to pervade the whole system, mopnts into her
brain and kindles the death fever.— Mrs. Sigourney.

Dear Seals : As stated in a former letter, I visited
Lumpkin, Stewart County, arriving there on Monday,
10th inst. I had sent an appointment for Tuesday, but
found an appointment awaited me for Monday night.
It rained until near night; consequently, the crowd was
not large. I consented to lecture again on Tuesday
night and did so to a good audience. If any good was
done beyond strengthening the brethren in the faith,
it must be apparent hereafter, when “the sober second
thought comes o’er them.
Lumpkin is decidedly one of the most beautiful towns
in Georgia. The public square is laid out with a great
deal of taste, ornamented with beautiful shade trees.
1 he private residences are beautiful* flowers and ever
greens, in the sweet month of May, meeting the eye
and regaling the olfactories withtheir odors. Here are
two fine institutions of learning, male and female; the
latter a Masonic College, at the head of which I found
iny fiiend, Rev. Mr. King, one of nature’s noble men,
of fine physical form, noble, open, generous and intelli
gent face, added to deep-toned piety and devotion to the
Temperance cause. He, (Mr. King,) I learn, was aided
by a gentleman, whose name I forget, of fine learning,
a popular, pious and eloquent Minister. Two churches,
a Baptist and Methodist, (there may be a Presbyterian
Church; if so, I did not see it,) ornament the town.
But while I say all this in regard to Lumpkin, yet,
even here I learn the destroyer has a seat; yes, the
dram-shop has its seat in this otherwise lovely town;
and suffer me to say, while in Lumpkin, a truth to
which I have long subscribed was made more apparent
to my mind than ever ; i. e. the responsibility of pro
fessors of religion, in regard to the Temperance Refor
mation. I hold it is not alone that such be temperate
themselves, but that they should cast their names and
influence into any and every organization, the aim, the
end and consequence of which is, to banidh intemper
ance and all its direct and comcomitant evils from the
land. They have a small Division of the Sons here;
they are “few but true,” what’s of them. And who
compose the division ? If I was informed*rightly, most
of the working members, with a few honorable excep
tions, are retormed drunkards. Whereas, if all the
Moralists and Religionists were to put on the regalia,
Heaven and earth would witness the most happy re
sults.
Now, brethren of the church at Lumpkin, let me just
cite you to two men, names beginning with S, and ask
yourselves, in the name of delirium tremens, woman’s
tears, hapless children, how can you stay out of a divis
ion ? O cast your names, your presence, your prayers
in the Division Room ! I know there are thousands
in Georgia more pious than myself who do not take the
same view I do, in regard to the above sentiments.
Leaving my friends in Lumpkin after dinner, lam
conveyed by my friend Martin sixteen miles to Col. A.
W. Redding’s, a man all Georgia knows, as an hon
est, high-minded, well informed, Christian gentleman,
proving himself a practical man in every sphere in which
he moves. I judge the Col. to be a practical farmer,
too, from what I saw during my agreeable sojourn at
his house. Ah l too, he is a theoretical and all over
practical Temperance man. I learn the Col. ran for
the Legislature in his county and was beat, because he
would not buy, sell, drink, give or use, during the can
vass, any of the beverage of death. O ! for about such
a fall as Redding’s in every county in Georgia. O! for
Christian patriots in every county, willing to be immo
lated on the altar of Temperance and patriotism. Then
the light would break at last; “ Truth crushed to earth
would rise again.”
Thursday, 13th morning, leave my friend Redding’s,
where I was treated so kindly by the Col. and his ex
cellent family, and arrive in Columbus, where I stay
Thursday night. I did not lecture in Columbus, as al
most all the usual hours were taken up in Religious
meetings.
Friday, 14th, leave Columbus on cars at 10 o’clock,
A. M. en route for home, via. Opelika, West Point.
The Sledge House at Opelika is certainly a good din
ner house. Here we met a fresh cargo ot passengers
from Montgomery, who were returning from the S. C.
Convention. Among them I recognised Hon. M. H.
Cooper. Others were aboard; M. Deßow, of Deßow’s
* Review, the Governor of Alabama, son-in-law and
■ daughter, Mr. Warren of the Camden Journal, whose
acquaintance I made, a fine specimen of South Carolina
gentlemen, and, I may add, Christian and Temperance
bearing. Also, Willingham of the LaGrange Reporter,
whose temperance habits, I found, had suffered none
since last we met. Now, dear John, I have given a long
“un.” I shall not, perhaps, inflict upon you and your
readersa similar “bore” soon. Truly, &c.

Judge Cone on the Lottery Question.
Swan & Cos. have circulated a card through nearly
all the papers in this State trying to prevent the public
mind from being disabused as to their swindling schemes.
It will however most certainly prove a failure, and we
trust that the prosecutions which are now hanging over
the establishment in Richmond Superior Court, will
bring it up entire. Judge Cone, in whose legal knowl
edge we have unbounded confidence, says in a letter to
Attorney Gen. McLaws:
Dear Sir: This will be handed you by Mr. Birney,
i of New York, who is visiting your State for the pur
pose of suppressing the sale ot lottery tickets, under a
[iretended authority from the State of Georgia. He has
etters from the Mayor of New York to the Governor
upon that subject, and both the Governor and myself
think that it will be best to have prosecutions instituted
against Swan & Cos., in.your county. If you look at the
! act of 1853, on the subject of lotteries, you will see what
> other proceedings it may be proper to institute. The
i lottery that is annoying them most'is the Sparta Acad
emy Lottery. I have no doubt that all the proceedings
of Swan & Cos. are illegal, and that all the persons in
your city who are engaged in this business are liable un
der the provisions of that statute. You will find the
section in relation to the Sparta Academy Lottery among
the acts of 1826; I think the good citizens will give all
their influence and aid to suppress this swindle. You.
will find Mr. Birney a gentleman and worthy man, and
I shall consider any attention paid to him as a respect to
myself. Your triend,

American Students in Paris and tlie French
Police.
In consequence of his constant fear of assassination
the French Emperor, it is said, keeps himself always
surrounded by an army of watchmen, who are detailed
at all points and corners of the Tuilleries, and guard
every passage, day and night:
. the garden of the Tuilleries, these watchmen are
in citizens’ dress, patroling up and down the alley dur
mg the day. Lately, two American students were ar
rested by these vigilants, without any justifiable cause.
While walking in the Garden, one of the students was
explaining to the other, (who only a short time ago had
arrived in Paris) the construction of the building, when
they observed a gentleman approach, as if to overhear
their conversation. This individual subsequently, by a
signal, called a second person, who followed the students
and finally demanded their passports. Neither having
that important document on hand, the students were
arrested and imprisoned until agents visited their houses
to ascertain whether their statements were correct. In
the course of some hours after they were set at liberty,
with the superfluous advice “ never to be without their
passports,” and “not again to gesticulate with their
hands in the vicinity of the French Emperor’s Palace.”
Secret Societiesjn France.
The Paris correspondent of the New Orleans Pica
yune, in a recent letter, says:
The Emperor never goes out that he is not dogged by
the police of the societies—a police infinitely more zeal
ous, indefatigable and astute, (they work for love, and
not for pay,) than the police of the Government. They
lounge near the Tuilleries, in the Champs Elysees, in
the Boisde Boulogne—everywhere watching the favora
ble moment for their revolution to be made. Ido not
mean they observe him to assassinate him, although
the assassins do derive all the information they desire
through these secret policemeinen of political societies,
but they are constantly on the watch to take advantage
of the death of the Emperor to overturn the Govern
ment before the Council of the Regency can meet. Such
is the conditionof France. Secret societies cover every
inch of its territory from the Channel to the Mediterra
nean ; and they are now so well organized that the po
lice’cannot discover their organization, nor above five
members of any society at the same time. V’

, .. ‘ Augusta, June 9th, 1858.
The Police Department of this city, in efficiency, will
compare ffivorabfy with that of any other city, North or
South. -I hey are, in general, a kingly looking set of
fellows, and are guided and directed by a Christian.
They are vigilant, active and energetic in the discharge
of their duty. A week or so ago, they succeeded in re
porting some 40 violations oflaw, viz: furnishing slaves
with liquor. With one or two exceptions, the offen
ders were cither of the Hans von “Lager beer” or Pat
rick and Pop Skull class. They were promptly re
turned by His Honor, Recorder Green, to the city court.
Some tew were tried and found guilty; one was ac
quitted and the rest plead guilty. During the trial of
one of the cases, a witness was closely interrogated as
to what whisky was made of?” The witness having
a practical knowledge of its taste and qualities, answered
some whiskey is made from wheat, some from rye,
some from corn, and some from strychnine.” While
speaking of the police department, I must not omit to
give all honor to our present worthy and efficient May
or. His financial ability is unequalled, and his admin
istration ranks as the best we havo ever experienced.
The clerk of council is a polite, affable auri generous
gentleman—l might add, too generous for the good of
his pocket. His heart, however, is in the right place,
and not crumpled in the least.
Dr. Boynton delivered a course of lectures here, du
ring the latter part of the past month, upon Geology
and the history of creation. The subject, though to the
masses apparently a dry one, yet, seemed to possess at
traction enough to fill the house nightly. His closing
lecture on the 2d instant, was an able effort, but I can
only give a brief outline of it. His design was to show
that Geology was a natural proof of Moses’ history of
creation, contained in the book ot Genesis. The world
was created long before man was called into existence.
Various classes and types of animals from the masto
don down, now extinct, and whose fossil remains had
been exhumed by Geology, lived prior to man’s advent.
All these animals, in the color of hair, skin and eyes,
were fixed, and were untameable. Fruits and trees ex
isted before man, but were not calculated to nourish and
sustain him. Animals, fruits and trees prior to man,
though extinct, yet, have their representative type in
those subsequent in their formation or co-eval with
man. During the tertiary age of the world, as the crust
of the earth hardened, mountains were elevated and
valleys depressed, forming new lakes and rivers, and
changing climates and temperature. “In the beginning,
God created the Heaven and the earth.” In the be
ginning—long before the formation of man—God created
the Heaven and the earth, that is, caused them to be.
Animals and plants were formed in exact harmony with
this the incipient stage of the world’s history. “In the
beginning God created,” is but Geology condensed.
The. popular idea that God created the Heaven and the
earth in six days, was a fallacious one. The bible war
rants no such assumption. He made, built, re-mod
elled, finished them in six days. He was preparing the
world for the entrance of man, and fitting it for his
dwelling-place. When man, therefore, came into the
world, he found animals that he could subdue; fruits
that would nourish and sustain him, and everything
adapted to his wants. “On the seventh day God ended
His work which He had made, and He rested on the sev
enth day from all His work which He had made. And
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because
that in it He had rested from all His work which God
created and made.” Genesis, 2d chap. 2d and3d verses.
In these verses, we perceived that created and made are
the terms used. Create signifies begotten—to cause to
exist—to produce, while to make signifies to form of
materials—to mould —establish—to accomplish and com
plete. Here, there is a wide margin between the sig
nification of the terms employed. Created relates to
the formation of the earth from chaos; made relates to
the finishing of what He had created. When God made
man in His own image and likeness,He restedfromHis
labor. And why ? because, having endowed man with
an infinite capacity of mind, He could not create any
other work superior to man. And then God finished
His creative works, and since that period no new order
of beings have been created. It remains the same as it
did on the day when God rested from His labor. To no
order of animal creation was given the privilege of a
creative faculty that is inventive, but to man. God
ceased from His labor because He had completed it.
Man was the apex of all His created works. Woman,
though formed after man, was not distinct from him,
but a part of his being. Woman was the highest and
noblest work of God’s creative energies, and her ele
mental composition was far higher and purer than mans.
And the result of this investigation and survey of crea
tion and its history, would lead the mind to see in it no
thing else but the embodiment ol a thought—a plan,
and this plan suggests a planner, and this planner can
not be more or less than God. There is a perfect agree
ment between nature, and what the Creator has re
vealed concerning it, between Geology and the Bible.
On Saturday night, sth instant, John Johnson shot
Wilson Rawlins in the abdomen, producing a serious
wound. Johnson was inebriated. Rawlins is in avery
critical situation, and but little hope is entertained of
his recovery. Johnson has been arrested and lodged in
jail.
On the morning of the Bth instant, a female, name un
known, committed suicide by walking into the river
and drowning herself. A negro man near by, but una
ble to swim, offered her a pole to save herself with, but
she declined. Her body has not been recovered. Vari
ous conjectures have been raised as to who the unfortu
nate one was. One whom it was confidently supposed
to have been, arrived on the evening of that day from
Charleston. The most plausible conjecture appears to
be that it was a young lady, amiable, intelligent and re
fined, who had “loved not wisely but too well,” and
who had placed too much confidence in man. If there is
a place in the regions of despair where the punishment
is greater and more intense than any other, it is where
the base, vile seducer is. The worm of remorse should
eat deeper in his vitals than in any other hardened vil
lain. Woman’s lqve, alas!

Dyspepsia Investigated.
The following is from Dr. John G. Bunting, who has
been experimenting with Alexis St. Martin, the man
with a hole in his stomach, made by a bullet, through
which the different articles of food must pass in the act
of digestion:
“ Hot bread never digests. Bear this in mind, rea
der, if you are accustomed to eat the light and tempting
biscuit at tea, or the warm loaf which looks so apeti
zing upon your dinner-table. Hot bread never digests
at all; after a long series of tumbling and working
about in the stomach as an unwelcome tenant of that
delicate organ, never digesting—never becomes assimi
lated to or absorbed by the organs that appropriate nu
trition to the body, it is expelled. It is a first rate dys
pepsia producer. The above is truth, as it has been re
peatedly proved from actual observation through the
side of Alexis St. Martin.”
The follow ing is the advice of an examining judge to
a young lawyer on admission: “Sir, it would be idle to
trouble you further. You are perfect; and I will dis
miss you with a few words of advice, which you will do
very well to follow. You will find it laid down as a
maxim of civil law, never to kiss the maid when you
can kiss the mistress. Carry out the principle, sir, and
you are safe. Never say boo to a goose when she has
the power to lay golden eggs. Let your face be long
your bills longer.. Never put your hand into your own
pocket when anybody else’s is handy. Keep your con
science for your own private use, and don’t trouble it
with other men,s matters. Plaster the judge, and butter
the jury. Look as wise as an owl, and be as oracular as a
town clock. But, above all, get money—honestly it you
can, my dear sir; but get money. I welcome you to
the bar.” *

Macon, June 4th, 1858.
Dear John : “ Oak Bower” wishes for an “arithmet
ical” solution of a problem proposed in your paper of
this week. As I have been trying to beat “ quadratics’ ’
into one or two chaps recently, the problem struck me
in the right humor and I solved it.
Since there were two times as many sheep as cows,
there were 10 sheep for 1 cow; hence,’lotimes 10being
100, is the number of sheep; this, divided by 10, gives
10, the number cows; this divided by 2, gives 5, the
number of horses. Then, as the price of . ach horse is
equal to the number of sheep, 1 horse cost $100,5, $500;
1 cow, $lO, 10, $100; 1 sheep, $5, 100, SSOO, making
$llOO.
“Oak Bower” might have had the problem solved
very quickly and satisfactorily, by applying to Prof. S
Sanford, the former and loved preceptor of
Deadhead,.
Fitst, assume 1 horse, 2 cows and 20 sheen : 1
at S2O gets S2O; 2 cows at $2, getas4; 20 sher p at i)
Sets S2O. These numbers added together, are slf
hviding 1100 by 44 gives 25—the square root tis 25 is r >

gives 5 horses, 10 cows and 100 sheep, wh\,fs. is the an

Death of Master James Thomas Hunter.

took place an Saturday the Ist inst., has caused a deei.
sensation in the public mind. It was so sudden and
unexpected that it fell like a clap of thunder from a
cloudless sky In the morning ol that day. all buoyant
with life and health, he left home for the purpose of
hauling some sand, (more as a past time than anythin?
else,) accompanied by two negro boys about his own
age. Having loaded the wagon they were returning,
and in coming down a slight descent in the road the
pace of the horse increased, and the plank across the
wagon upon which he was sitting suddenly tilled .
throwing him out, the wheels running over his body.,
causing death in about twenty minutes. Thus passed’
