We return Barnes & Cos. many thanks for a box of No. 1 self-sealing envelopes. They prove to be a good article, and the same are retailed at 5 cts. per pack. We have on file for insertion in the paper, two very acceptable communications, one written by “Rusticus,” and the other by “Saucy Kate.” They are too lengthy, and will have to lie over until we find space lor them. * NOTICE TO CITY SUBSCRIBERS. Our City circulation is quite large, and being very much scattered on account of the extensive area of the place, we have been at a loss to know what eourse we had best adopt in regard to the delivery of the papers. It is altogether incon venient for us to deliver them to a great many who live out on the edges of the city, and hence we are arranging a list of those who reside near er the office, and will have the paper delivered to them, and those who live too far will receive their copies at the Post Office. We would be happy to have those residing near enough, but whose names we may (ail to put on the list, be cause of not knowing where they reside, call and report their names and the places at which they wish the paper left. The Pantomime of Robert Maccaire, by the Ravels, on last evening, was a decided success. We only regretted that they should have omitted or cut out so much of the original Play. The evolutions on the tight rope, by Blondin, were inimitable—surpassed anything we have seen for years, and everybody should witness his daring feats. The Ballette was nonpareil. The activity and suppleness of those brilliant little “stars” was truly wonderful. The Comic Pantomime of a “Night’s Adven ture” was a real side-splitter, and largely bene fitted the digestive organs of each spectator. This excellent troupe brings us something new, and they are worthy ot a large hearing. Those who wish to enjoy something unique, should turn out this evening, (Thursday,) to their per formance. We learn their bill for to-night is capital. Sorry the want of space forbids our enlarging upon the merits of this company; but all our matter being ready for the press, we must torbear. Notice to our Greene County Friends. Judge James Godkin, of Greenesboro’, has kindly consented to collect the accounts which are due the Crusader in Greene, for advertising. It will be inconvenient for us to visit the county during court week, as we had anticipated, but our accounts will be forwarded to Judge Godkin, who will represent us, and all who may wish to pay off their bills will please call on him. We received a visit, a few days since, from our intelligent friend, Dr. Win, S. Meicre, who, in connection with C. B. Barrow, Esq. is making the old Madison Family Visitor a very interesting sheet. Someone in remitting us $2 from Dirt Town, Ga., under date of Feb’y 25th, failed to give any name to the letter. To whom shall we credit the money ? Presentation—Correspondence. Mr. Seals : Dear Sir: We have read with the greatest pleasure, your editorial comments upon the fu ture prospects of Atlanta, and the recent unpleas ant difficulties which have occurred among the other members of the Press. The article was appropriate, happily conceived, admirable in tone, and we believe it will do good, and can assure you that it received the universal approba tion of the better portion of our citizens. But while we disapprove of the course which has recently been pursued by the other Presses, we do not wish to reflect in the least upon the high toned character of our Editors, for we know them well, and regard them all as meritorious gentle men, and are sufficiently charitable to attribute their frequent difficulties to th efaet of their being high-toned honorable men. We however deem those unpleasant difficulties calculated to create new prejudices against our prosperous city abroad, and with that conviction, and on account of our great respect for each and all our gentlemanly and able Editors personally, deeply regret their occurrence, and on the other hand warmly approve of your excellent editorial comments, and most, if not all, the right thinking citizens of Atlanta will likewise approve of them in the highest terms. Asa feeble testimonial of our high esteem for you personally, and for your fidelity totheinter estof our city, also as an evidence of our great - appreciation of your editorial writings in general, allow us to present you with this gold pen and pencil. With great respect, we subscribe ourselves, MANY CITIZENS. Gentlemen : I have the honor to acknowledge the reception of your very handsome and appro priate present through the hands of my esteemed friend, Dr. . The list of accompanying names, I discover, is composed of a portion of our most worthy and distinguished citizens, on which account I hold the present invaluable, and the highly complimentary language in which it was tendered, is written upon my heart as with a pen of steel upon brazen tablets, and cannot be effaced. The very encouraging manner in which you are pleased to speak of my unpretending ef forts, is truly gratifying to an humble laborer in behalf of the interests, moral and social, of his fellow citizens, and shall be faithfully treasured away in the archives of memory and be referred to with feelings of pride as one of my most pleasant reminiscences. The “editorial comments” to which you refer, solicited no remuneration, for they were the outgushing sentiments of a sincere and faithful heart. My skiff is permanently an chored in your delightful and flourishing city, and as a sentinel upon its walls we shall “cry aloud and spare not,” and diligently labor to discharge our duty both as a public and private citizen. Our interests are in common with those of onr citizens, and whenever we detect out-breaking errors, social, religious or political, which can but injure our reputation abroad, and paralyse our progress at home, we shall employ no “oily words” to mitigate the crime, but shall fearless ly denounce it in the most uncompromising terms of condemnation. If our course shall then meet the approbation of our citizens, we will be proud and happy to know that our labors have been ap preciated. In regard to the difficulties to which you refer, as having recently occurred among my brethren of the Atlanta press, I can only say I am happy to know that they have all been amicably settled, satisfactorily to the parties involved, and to the general satisfaction of the citizens; but we warm ly and fully endorse the well-deserved compli ments which you pay our editors in pronouncing them “high-toned, meritorious gentlemen,” and we feel honored to take them by the hand and call them brethren. In conclusion, gentlemen, allow me to return you my most grateful acknowledgements for the unmistakable evidences you have given me of your high esteem, and with expressions of the highest regard for each of you personally, and with many re-assurances of my sincere fidelity’ to the interests of our growing and promising yotmc dty. ‘ ‘j; I am your ob’t ser’t, JOHN H. BEADS. THE GREAT LEVER “ Twm the voice of the Freae on the startled ear breaking, In afant-tx>m prowess, liko Pallas of old t ■Twas the fiath of intelligence glorionsl* waking, A glow on tbe cheek of the noble and bold: And tyranny's minions o’erewed and affrighted, Sought a lasting retreat in the cloister and cottl, And the chains which bound nations in ages benighted. Were cast to the hauntsof the bat and the owL” The discovery of the “Art of Printing” broke upon the midnight darkness of the fifteenth cen tury like the brilliant “day-god” from a clouded sky. It was the dawning of the brightest era that ever opened upon the world. When, in its infancy, it was the Herculean agent that gave efficiency to the struggles of Luther against the lowering elements of Popery, which otherwise would even now be hanging over us asa “mighty pall.” It drove its mniions within the walls of Rome, and hurled defiance at them as they cowered beneath the Vatican. Its introduction was no less the fruit of genius than of necessity. When the contemned, derided and blasphemed Messiah “yielded to death” and bore the “sin avenging stroke,” he left his spirit to save and reform. Then Prophets declared hia name. The Parthian hung his bow—the sacred fires went out on Persian hills —and Greeks that trod the classic shades and reared high-altars adored the unknown God. The Pantheon, where enthroned demons led the soul to death, was for gotten, and fabled Gods mourned their worship ers in neglected shrines. But Truth, in its pu rity, was assailed by black falsehood, and crim soned error had woven her deluding dreams over the world; Superstition had counterfeited Faith, and dimmed revelation ; the exigencies required something more powerful than the human voice or scribbled parchment, when the immortal Faust revealed the Press. At its birth, the world awoke from its Rip-Van-Winkle dreams, and seemed refreshed; and falsehood,error and superstition, the emissaries of the “Powers ot Darkness,” were aghast. This mighty engine, baptized at the fountain of T. uth, gave to the world as its first labor, the “Holy Bible” —the “Book of Books.” Since its introduction it has been the most powerful instrument for disseminating knowledge, both good and. we hate to say evil, that has ever been invented. Though Smith field fires consumed the printed page, and fierce anathemas were madly hurled, yet its course was onward, destined, like the sun, to radiate the world. Its influence overleaping the giant hills, and crossing the billowy seas, spoke to millions dead, and awoke the cry of freedom. Tyranny’s chains fell off in rusty links, and the mind, libe rated from its shackles, began its course. Inqui ry stripped tradition of its mask —learning stooped to teach the neglected child, and science, explor ing, led the mind from sphere to sphere, to where “systems circle round the Eternal Throne,” or in abysmal search, brought wonders from the cav erns of earth. Where does its influence ecase f Its omnipo tence is felt to where Dion trod his bleeding foes to dust on ancient hills —on the muddy banks of tho Tiber, to where the lazarones bask out their days, and famed Geneva reflects the stars. It is the great Lever that is to move the world —it shall yet be heard upon the balmy plain whete Brahma leads tho Hindoo to his shrine, to where China’s millions bow at their altars, and Japan’s children tread the Christian cross under foot. Mystic hieroglyphs that hide the lore of Egypt’s brightest age shall reveal the hidden thoughts, and mossy monoliths that deck Palmyra’s waste shall be subdued. The whole Universe of God shall acknowledge its power, and the reign of civilization grow brighter and brighter, until it merges into the perfect day. Let every human being contribute of their substance to nourish this machine of intelligence, this residuary safeguard of our liberties. OUR CITY. How refreshing to pass up Whitehall and see the grand display of new spring goods! We are having delightful spring weather just atthistime, and our merchants nre receiving heavy stocks of merchandize—the prettiest, most tasty and at tractive we have ever seen. The styles for dress goods this season, are decidedly handsome, and the prints superlatively beautiful; it is absolutely imprudent for a poor man to take his wife into one of our first clasß stores just now, and we would not, by any means, advise him to do so. Messrs. Beach &, Root have by far the largest stock in the city, and they have the grandest dis play of handsome and iancy goods we have had the pleasure of seeing. Mr. Beach has certainly surpassed himself in their purchase. People at a distance, who design visiting this city to do their shopping, would find the present a most favora ble time for laying in supplies preparatory for spring. We would say to them, come along; Atlanta is, without any doubt, the cheapest mar ket for dry goods, groceries or anything of tho kind, in the State, and all who do their trading here will bear me out in the statement. Our city is full of life, business brisk, and everybody seems cheeriul and in the best humor imaginable. New buildings are being reared with the same activity which has characterised the internal improvements of the place during the last two or three years. George W. Collier, Esq. has nearly completed one of the most tasty and handsome brick buildings in the south ern country. It is a real ornament to the city. Our thorough-going friend, J. R. Norcross.is tear ing down the old wooden, eye-sore structure, which has, for a quarter of a century, more or less, disfigured hiß corner on Marietta street, pre paratory to erecting a large three-story brick building on its site. It will be a magnificent structure, and a great improvement to that part of the city. Mr. Johnson and Messrs. Ormand Sc McNnught wealthy merchants from Florida, have in process of completion the most extensive, massive buildings in the city. They are very large, three-stories high, in a solid block, and ex hibit excellent taste in their general plan, and the architecture and masonry is of the most superior kind. Messrs. Jackson Sc Bro. are making large ad* ditions to their brick store on Mitchell street, to which they design removing from their present stand on Hunter street, for the purpose of estab lishing an extensive family grocery. Who ean witness the rapid improvements which are going on in Atlanta, and foretell what is to be her fu ture destiny or grandeur? THE CAHTOH MINES. The mineral wealth of Georgia is incalculable, and could the State be Geologically surveyed, there is no telling what exhaustless beds of gold, silver copper, lead and other metals might be brought to light. Many wealthy mines have been disco vered in her bosom by accident, and from some of them untold sums of money have been realized. Among the largest, and without doubt, the rich est mine within her borders, and perhaps in any of the Southern States, is the “Canton Mine,” in Cherokee County. The President of the Compa ny has fayored us with a box of rich specimens oi ore and metal, and while examining them we came to the resistless conclusion that there must be immense treasures imbedded in the earth from which they were taken. Most of the specimens received are argentiferous Galena; some contain yellow sulphuret of Copper; and among the rest was a specimen of the “Harrisite,” anew com bination of Copper which is found nowhere but in this mine; it contains 80 per cent, copper, and 20 per cent. Sulphur. We also received in the box a small bar apparently of pure lead, bearing the proportion of 100 ounces of silver to every Ton of lead. The Company have already sunk a shaft to the depth of 250 feet, at which point the vein is 15 feet in width. They are now sinking anew shaft 500 feet, at which depth the vein will be opened and they will then commence preparing the ore or metal for market. They have already gone down 200 feet in the new abaft and are rapidly sinking it, progressing at the rate .of 50 feet a month. One ol the most encouraging features connected with this grand enterprise is, it is decidedly a Silver Mine, and so pronounced, we are informed, by the most scientific men on the Continent. The Silver mine in Connecticut and one in North Carolina, are the only ones, be sides this, in the United States, and the former has been discontinued, leaving only two in our country. This metal first appeared in the Can ton Mine, at the depth of 140 feet, and it promises to yield largely of Silver. It is our candid opinion, from all we can gather concerning theae mines that they, contain incalculable stores of mineral wsalth, and the time will soon corns when a THE GEORGIA TEMPERANCE CETJSADER. thousand-fold yield will largely reward the pro prietors, for their labors, lime and anxiety, and for the capital which they have invested. There are three other rich parallel veins belonging to the Company which have not ns yet been touch ed, so when the time comes for gain, there will be no exhaustion of the mineral store, and we earnestly wish the time may very soon come, for we should rejoice to hear it. It is a Georgia en terprise throughout, being owned and worked entirely by Georgians. We return the kind and gentlemanly President many thanks for the spec imens and can assure him that though we are no chemist, Geologist, nor anything of the kind, we nevertheless take a deep interest in the internal developments of our beloved State, and apprecia ted the favor most highly. Is it not unique—the style of “Barnes Sc Co's” advertisement in another column ? Fact is, no thing but their great cleverness could have in duced us to indulge such fancy “capers” in our types. An intimate acquaintance with these gen tlemen, fully warrants us in recommending them even to seventhly, lstly. They have anything that may be wanted. 2dly. It they haven’t it, they can have it. 3dly. Theym7?iiaveit. 4thly. It will be just what you want. sthly. At the very lowest price. 6thly. Os the best quality ; and 7thly, They take the purest delight in ac commodating. Barnes Sc Cos. are an “institu tion,” fully endowed, and prepared to negative that old fashioned doctrine, “Everybody mind his own business;” for they are constantly attend ing to “ everybody's ” business, and “everybody” not only submits to it, but is anxious to pay for it. Still greater success, gentlemen, to vour “Model Auction House.” “From our youth up,” them big-topped bottles, full of blue, “yaller” and red, have been a source of no little admiration. By the way, these “Drug-store” men have a perfect faculty for ma king and selling fancy things. Guess a drug store a “powerful” healthy place for a body to “smell round” in. And this is fully pro ven in the case of “Smith Sc Ezzard,” just under “Concert Hall.” It may be, and we have no doubt is, in their case at least, owing to the purity of their drugs and medicines. Well,now, haven’t they a sight o’ glass. Just look over in our ad vertising column. We have been wanting to say something clever of these gentlemen ever since we’ve been here, and are now glad of the oppor tunity. Send on your orders, we underwrite for them. Their’s is an old and most reliable house. We thank our friend for the following : Yopjges, Ala., Feb’y 28th, 1859. Mr. Editor : Enclosed you will find four dollars for the last and present subscription.) lam a poor man, and am hard run to make a decent living, have thought seriously of curtailing expenses as an incumbent duty, but have at jlength come to the conclusion that I cannot do so by cutting off the Crusader as a weekly visitor. I have taken it some six years, and its improvement in the last two years has been such that I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I will continue it for life. ’Tis true I have not been as prompt in pay ing as I should have been, nor have I been as ac tive in adding to its subscription list as I might. I hope, however, to do better in the future. Yours, OPELIKA. Dr. Charles Jewett, the distinguished temper ance Lecturer, writing to the Editor of the Boston Visitor, gets of! the following pointed good hu mor ! With the various devices adopted by rumsellers to increase the sale of their vile poisons, you are doubtless acquainted. In the course of my ride from Frederickton, the capitol of New Bruns wick, to Woodstock, my attention was directed by a fellow-passenger to a sign placed over the door of a liquor shop, which was doubtless inten ded to render the establishment famous, and se cure to its bar additional patronage. Let me solicit for the establishment the favor ot a brief advertisement in your columns. A rude paint ing of a beehive occupies a portion of the sign, and the following verse the remainder: “Within this hive we’re all alive, Good liquor makes us funny; As you pass by, step in and try The flavor of our honey.” For the benefit of some future aspiraat to fame and wealth, I add a variation of the foregoing. If not so good poetry, it will, I think, be; found to indicate more nearly the tendencies and results of the business. A representation of a plucked pigeon, or a muskrat skinned, would be a suita ble device to occupy a portion ofthe sign ; the following stanzas might fill the remainder, and will be found to have preserved a part of the very pretty rhyme of the original, only exchanging “honey” for “money,” which is not a bad ex change if a man is fond of sweets : “We’ve liquors here of every kind. And sell them cheap, as you shall find, They’ll make you feel quite fanny: Perhaps they’ll sprawl you on the floor, If so, we’U kick you out the door, After we’ve got your money.” If short metre is desired, and a little rough ness of diction can be allowed for the sake of truthfulness, the following might do: “Within this hut We keep rot-gut, And very cheap we sell; * Don’t stop to think, Gome in and drink, And speed your way to hell.” Elegance is out of the question, of course. No one would think of currying a hedge-hog with a fine tooth comb, opening oysters with a razor, or sweeping the streets with a parlor duster. “ The Sabbath Committee in New York, have just issued a document concerning the Sunday liquor traffic. It appears that there are seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-nine places where liquors are sold, and more than five thou sand of the number continue their business on Sunday. The larger establishments in the Bow ery have bands of music, and most of them have theatrical performances, singing and dancing, Sunday afternoon and evening. Os the whole number only 72 are regularly licensed.” The Almighty will surely visit upon that mo dern Sodom showers of fire and brimstone. Four huudfed and thirty-six of the negroes of Pierce Butler, says the Sav. News of the 4th inst., were sold at public sale on Wednesday and yes terday, for the sum of three hundred thousand two hundred and five dollars, being an average of a little over seven hundied and sixteen dollars a head. The balance of the lot, seventeen in number, were disposed of at private sale, at pri ces not reported. Os the four hundred and thirty six negroes, one hundred and twenty-six were under ten years of age, one hundred and eighty two were over ten, and under thirty-one, eighty, eight, over thirty and under fifty, and forty over fifty years of age. Among them are a number of infants, and several cripples and supperannuated. The young negroes are of the best class planta tion hands. The sale was largely attended by gentlemen from different portions of our own state and lrom South Carolina. A young man named Irwin has been arrested on suspicion of being the person who murdered the cashier of the Union Bank, Jackson, Tenn., and robbed the bank recently. A large amount of gold and Union Bank notes were found on his pen. The Northern Bank of Alabama, at Huntsville, declared a dividend of 5 per cent on its Capitol Stock on the Ist inat., out of its earnings for the last six months. We learn, says the Wilmington, (N. C.) Jour nal, that Mrs. Mary McKethan, wife of Andrew McKethan, residing in the lower part of town, was burned to death, yesterday, at her residence. It would appear that the deceased had been drink ing, and, as is supposed, had had a fit, during whieh she fell across the fire on the hearth, where she was found dead by her husband when he came home to dinner, her breast and face be ing horribly burned. The minutes of the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Church give the following statement of the progress of the Church : “The net increase in church members reported, was four thousand five hundred whites, and two thousand blacks ; total, six thousand five hundred. There was raised for Sunday schools about three thousand dollars, for the Tract Society about three thous and five hundred dollars, and for the Missionary Society, including the anniversary collection, about twenty-three thousand dollars.” The anniversary of the birth of Robers Barns, the Scotch poet, was celebrated by a large party es gentlemen in Mobile last Tuesday. CURRENT NEWS. * The swindler wh<x was in Atlanta a short time since representing himself as agent for the South ern Citizen, has been arrested in Savannah. He was, for some reason not explained, sent to Ma con, and while on the road threw away his sub scription book to prevent its becoming evidence against him. He represents himself as an Irish man only three weeks in this country ; if so he is an apt scholar in knavery. Pleasant B. Mask, who has been confined four years in jail at Holly Springs, Miss., for the mur der of a young lady, was to be hanged on the 4th of March. A planter from the interior of Texas, informs the editor of the New Orleans Crescent, that the cotton crop of Texas, for 1858, will reach two hundred and fifty thousand bales. The Rahway (N. J.) Republican, announces, as “wondersthe world,” the following exhib ition in that city: A young lady, weighing only seven hundred and fifty pounds, and Major Rowe, of Michigan, weighing the whole of thirty-seven and a half pounds, are now on exhibition at Crow ell’s Hotel. A proposition for removing the State Capitol to New Orleans, is under discussion in the Lou isiana Legislature. At Marksville, La., says an exchange, twenty of the imporied Africans, by the Wanderer, were recently sold at twelve thousand dollars. From the Cartersville Express we learn of the death of Mrs. L. E. Tumlin, wife of Col. Lewis Tumlin, daughter of Maj. Turner Goldsmith, and sister of the editor of that paper. She died at the residence of Col. Tumlin, two milessouth west of this place, on Tuesday last at four o’clock P. M., after several’ weeks illness. She was loved and esteemed by all around her; blessed with an abundance of this world’s good, she was kind and benevolent in ministering to the wants of the needy. She had been an orderly and pi ous member of the Baptist Church for many years, and evinced to the world, in her exempla ry holy life, the genuineness of the religion she professed to enjoy. She leaves an affectionate husband, loving and obedient children, father, mother, brothers and sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends, to mourn her departure. An exchange gives the following as a specimen of husband huntingin Brittany: The young girls go to fetes and parties to pick up a husband, and every one wears a row of buttons on her jacket for every hun !red francs’ worth of property she possesses. Some of them are rich, and they take good care that the rest shall know it. According to the minutes of tlje Alabama Con ference, recently held at Macon, there are now in connection with the Methodist Conference, of that State, as members and probationers, two hundred and fifteen ministers and preachers. The census of St. Louis, just completed, gives a total of one hundred and thirty-five thousand, of which only fifty-seven thousand six hundred apd fifty-seven are Americans. The Germans number forty-three thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, the Irish twenty-two thousand and thiiteen, the English three thousand four hun dred and fifty-one, and the French one thousand three hundred and.* thirty-seven, tree blacks, one thousand six hundred and seventy-two, slaves, one thousand four hundred and eighty-four. Os the latter, one thousand and thirty-three are fe males. On Monday morning last, says the Bainbridgc Argus, the Rev. Thomas Colbert was found ly ing near the Albany road, a few miles north of Bainbridge, in a state of insensibility, with his left arm broken just below the shoulder, and his body otherwise badly bruised. The cause of the accident was the running away of his horse, throwing him from his buggy upon a pile of logs by the road side. Up to the time of our going to press, on yesterday noon, he had shown no signs of consciousness, and his recovery is extremely doubtful. Mr. Colbert is at present a resident of Wakul la county, Florida, but was formerly a citizen of Coweta county, Georgia, where he is well known. He is about sixty years of age. A Louisville dispatch, of the 2nd inst., says that while Cicero Maxwell, prosecuting attorney, was addressing the Court at Hawesville to-day, he was grossly insulted by language from Tho mas S. Low, between whom an old feud existed. Maxwell and friends fired at Low, wounding him in several places and killing John Aldridge, a friend of Low, and. wounding Mr. Miller. Low was committed to jail for protection. HORRIBLE TRAGEDY—THREE MEN POISONED. On Thursday, 24th February, our quiet com munity was startled with flying reports that sev eral persons had been poisoned on strychnine whiskey, at a grocery and confectionery, opened here not long since by John C, Terrel, a young man of respectable connection in this Dis trict. Among other articles on hand in this shop, it was pretty well understood in the village, thaj, intoxicating liquors were kept for the accommo dation of thirsty customers. Between eleven and twelve o’clock it seems Mr. Ananias Graham, an aged and very respec table citizen of our District, and his son, Mr. John W. Graham—the grandfather and uncle of Terrel—happened at the shop together, and a young man by the name of John B. McCollum, who spent most of his time there, was also pres ent. . After the alarm was given, and the neighbors rushed in, the Grahams were found down, with dreadful spasms, McCollum just beginning to ex perience tho effects of the poisonous liquor, and Terrel himself, it was said, had also draqk with the others. Some four or five physicians happened to be near by and were promptly called in—probably in less than ten minutes after the liquor was drank, but in spite of every effort thus instantly made to save them, the Messrs. Grahams died in some twenty or thirty minutes, and Mr. McCol lum, after suflering the most excruciating agony ol some twelve hours, died about midnight. Terrell was, soon after the occurrence, remov ed to his father’s residence in the village, where it was reported he too was suffering severe ly- Os course such an occurrence, on the corner of our public square, at mid-day, was calculated to startle our quiet village, and to produce the most intense excitement. Crowds flocked in to witness the extraordinary spectacle—two highly respectable citizens, who had been greeting their friends in good health but a few moment before, now lay dead, the father and son, in a few feet of each other —and young McCollum, evidently dying near by, all from drinking a single glass of whiskey. Immediately succeeding the event, nobody ap peared to suspect foul play, but all wondered how so much deadly poison could have been imbibed from so small a quantity of what is now generally termed “strychnine whiskey.” The question was discussed variously and ear nestly, in numerous excited squads about the Public Square, for several hours, when as a mat ter of course, a formal investigation of the facts and circumstances, by a coroner’s inquest, was suggested. Some deemed such an investigation unnecessary, and satisfied that the whole affair was purely accidental, were willing to disperse with the usual formalities observed when death occurs thus suddenly. Others insisted upon the propriety and necessity of an inquest, aad the cor oner was sent for. Just before sunset, a full and very intelligent jury was summoned, and boing duly sworn, pro ceeded with the investigation, in view of the dead bodies of the Messrs. Grahams. Iris not our purpose to report the testimony taken during the searching examination that fol lowed, for, although it is now on file in the clerk’s office, open, we suppose, to the inspection of the public, it is not usual in our State, to publish such evidence immediately preceding the trial which will follow this investigation, in the Court of Ses sions, as a matter of course, from the verdict ren dered. It is, perhaps, however, not improper to say, that the inquest collected from various sources, facts and circumstances that led them to unite in a verdict that the Coroner forthwith to isaue a warrant for the arrest of John C. Terrel, about 11 o'clock that night, and the Sheriffimme diataly committed him to the jail, to await his trial for murder at the ensuing term of our court, which is to sit here week after next. The following day, in consequence of McCol lum’s death, which occurred about an hour after the first inquest ended, another Jury, duly sum moned by the Coroner, assembled, and in view of the dead body fnade still further investigations and agreed upon a similar verdict to that ren dered the night before. However natural it is for us to desire, and the public expect ua to write a long article on the oc currence of such a frightful tragedy, in the midat of this proverbially aober, moral and highly in telligent community, we forbear for the present, for reasons that all must approve.— Bennetts tille Son of Temperance. While we talk of Maiue Laws, Prohibitory Laws, Temperanee Organizations, and Temper ance Leagues, we must not forget, as an effective preventive of drunkenness and crime, the rightful training of the young. In large cities, especially, where exists so much poverty, so much degrada tion and crime, it is necessary thdi some means should be devised for saving the innocent chil dren from present want and prospective ruin. An ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. A few dollars now expended in teach ing some poor lad a useful trade, or in instilling into his mind the love for reading and study, may not only save him from a life ot crime and misery, but may also prevent great bills of cost to the county, and a life-time support in the Peniten tiary.

An astonishing mixture of savage nature, and of na ture cultivated shows everywhere the hand of men, where one would think they had never penetrated. By the side of a cavern, we would find houses, and see vines planted where we would look for briars only. It is not the labor of men alone, which renders these strange countries to fantas tically contrasted ; nature seems to take pleas ure to put herself in opposition with nature, so much we find her different in the same place under diverse aspects. Toward the sun rise, the flowers of spring, toward the South the fruits of autumn, and towards the North the ice of win ter. She unites all the seasons in one instant, all the climates in the same place, and forms an agreement unknown elsewhere, in the productions ofthe fields, and those of the Alpes. A Swiss Lady.

It so seldom takes place, that when it does the means em ployed should be proclaimed to the world, that the drunkard, who knows his danger, may be cheered in his despondency, be stimulated to put forth the efforts required for his redemption, and that his friends, and the friends of temperance, may not desppir, but be persuaded to adopt any and every expedient that affords the least promise of rescuing a fellow-being from the horrors and degradation of a drunkard’s grave, and an im mortal soul from the pains of a:i eternal death. Twenty-four years ago, in August last, as the executor ot his father’s will, it became my duty to visit a relative residing in another and distant State. That relative I had known in the days of my youth—for he is several years my senior—as an industrious, frugal and sensible man—an hum ble, devoted, exemplary Christian, prosperous and successful in business, surrounded by all the necessaries and many of the luxuries of lile, en joying the confidence, respect and esteeem of all around him, happy in his domestic relations, and the father of a largo, growing and interesting family of children. Often, in childhood, had I bowed around his family altar, himself minister ing and leading its devotions, and I thought this surely is a family blessed of Heaven, its head walking in all the ordinances of the Lord blame less. Such was the character and such the career of this interesting family for several successive years. But ere one halfof man’s allotted course on earth had passed o’er the head of my relative, a sad and eventful change had taken place, and its sad results were visible in himself, his family, hts business, his present condition and future prospects. According to the custom of that day, from his earliest youth, he had taken an occasion al glass, and then he became a moderate drinker. His appetite increased, and habit, confirmed and strengthened by every day’s indulgence, though not without much remorse of conscience, and many solemn vows repeatedly violated, urged on by slow, stealthy and steady steps, he soon found himself on that inclined plane which has landed its thousands and tens of thousands in a drunk ard’s grave. He was anxious to retrace his steps ; his self-respect, his conscience, the claims of his family urged him to this course; but he had not, in himself, the moral power. The monitor with in him, which he had cherished and fed, was uncompromising, and he had so often yielded to its claims, that the power of his will to resist them was inefficient. When I made my visit to him twenty-four years ago, intemperance had claimed him for its own—had fixed his hand upon his physical frame, paralysed his intellectual energies and blasted all his moral susceptibilities. He was the perfect wreck, physically, intellectu ally and morally, of his former noble self. His business, neglected or mismanaged, if not insol vent, he was on the eve of bankruptcy. The do mestic altar had long since been broken down. Conscious of the wrong he had done his family, he had ceased to exercise over them a father’s control. In that household the joyousness of for mer days had departed, and all was gloom. The present was enveloped in darkness, and fearful was the forebodings of the future. With the con sciousness of his ability to sustain his family, and of his duty in that regard, he would occa sionally put forth a spasmodic effort, and for a few days keep his enemy at bay, and then would compromise and finally yield unresistingly to his embrace. He would resolve and re-resolve, hold on awhile to his integrity, and then fall—attain a lower depth than any he had reached before. His will was good, but the cravings of his appe tite would overpower it. To its dominion, con science, duty, family, all his hopes for time and for eternity would submit. To all human ap pearance his was a hopeless case. It was in this extemity I met him. As the ex ecutor of his father’s estate, I held in my hand a sum of money, not large, which that father, for obvious prudential reasons, had bequeathed, not to his son, but to his son’s children. That mon ey my relative had confidently believed I would pay over to him as the natural guardian of his children, and had relied upon it so surely, that he had procured a friend to endorse his note in bank, on the assurance that from this friend it would be met. Great was his disappointment when I told him that not one cent of that fund would be placed in his hands ; that it was the property of his children, and to them, and them only, should it be applied, and that, too, without passing through his hands. He asked why I wasso punc tilious. I replied that such was his father’s will, and the good of himself and his family demanded its rigid execution ; that the money in his hands would be a curse both to himself and them. He found me determined. He begged and entreated that I would at least save his endorser, a friend who had never deserted him. I told him no. To his renewed and earnest entreaties I was in exorable. A few days afterward he again broached the subject, when I had a long, private, but deep ly-affecting interview with him. In sorrow, not in anger, with great plainness, and all the kind ness of manner I could command, I told him why the pittance given by his father to his children had not been entrusted to him. I pointed him to his wife, his children, his violated obligations, the tears they had shed, the mortification they had on his account endured, and the hopes he had blasted. I contrasted the past, its joyousness and hopes, with the present, its gloom and de spondence, and depicted the probable future— for his family a dismal and dreary pilgrimage through life; for himself a certain, early and degraded grave, and an undone eternity, I found that I had reached a chord that was re sponsive to my touch; that I had opened a spring whose waters were not wholly dried up. He as sented to the fidelity of the picture, and in the frankness and fullness of a heart surcharged with its own hitterness, bewailed his condition. He said he would retrace his steps, but he could not; that he had tried and tried again, but failed ; that he had yielded to his craving appetite till it had become his master, and had parylised the ener gies of his will; and then in language, and with an intensity of feeling indescribable, attempted to portray the horrors of that appetite, whose yearn- ings were felt at his vitals, and would not “down at his bidding.” Others, he said, may think it easy to reform, but he only who has experienced it knows the power of the enemy to be subdued. The picture he drew of the power of temptation, and the utter helplessness of its victim, was vivid to the extreme. He felt that he was lost lost forever, and that none but an Almight arm could relieve him. I told him not to despair—that that Almighty arm would be extended, if he would put forth a manly, decided and determined effort for his own relief. After a pause I added: “I have addressed you plainly ; I have discharged a solemn and imperative duty, and it may not be too much to say, that on the decision of this hour are suspended your destiny for time and for eternity ; that pursuing your present course, soon—very soon it must terminate; that at best his brief existence would be a life of pain, remorse and shame; that an attempt at reformation could bring with it no greater torture than that he now endured; that if death ensued it was only a change of the mode ol its approach—a change that in spired some hope of the future.” “What,” he asked, with energy, “can I do?” “Give me,” I replied, “your word—yonr solemn promise here, with none but God to witness it, that from this day, henceforth and forever, that not a drop of anything that can intoxicate shall touch your lips. Ido not ask you to join a temper ance society, for I know you have done that and violated your engagement; but give me your sol emn pledge. I have confidence in you, that you will not deceive me.” He was staggered, and knew not what to do. His will was strong, but he knew that his flesh was weak. Ultimately he said: “You have talked to me with great plainness, %ut, unlike others, with great kindness. You seem to have some confidence in me; others have none. I will ponder over the matter, and to-morrow give you r.n answer.” The next day, in the same temper of mind, he came to me and said he had seriously considered my proposition, but knowing the power of temp tation, feared if he made the pledge lie should break it, and suggested, as a compromise, that he should be permitted to use porter, ale or cider, but only in cases of extremity. I answered, ne ver ! never! that these would only skotch, not kill, the monster —feed, not destroy him; that he must be exterminated, and that could be effected only by starvation. He was undecided. 1 re peated, in substance, the appeal of the preceding day. Finally, in an agony of feeling, and his whole frame in a tremor, he extended his hand, saying: “God helping me, I give you the pledge and will adhere to it, though it kill me, but pray God to give me strength.” A few days after this deeply interesting inter view, I told him that relying on his pledge, I would advance to him the amount required to meet his endorsement, and at the expiration of a year, if he held on to his integrity, I would con stitute him the trustee of the fund in my hands, for the benefit of his children. He still wanted confidence in himself, and feared that when I was gone and far away, he should be overcome by the tempter’s power. He therefor® begged me to leave with him some memento that he eould carty with him to remind him of the scenes that had passed between us, and that might operate as a talisman to sustain him. I regarded the suggestion ns a singular whim ; but to gratify him, procured and placed on his finger a plain gold ring, as the seal of the covenant be tween us. Afterwards, I communicated in pri vate to his wife and elder daughter what had ta ken place, and urged them to tend him with more than usual kindness—to anticipate his wants, and to relax no effort to cheer, encourage and sustain him. To my great regret, their confi dence in the dawning of a brighter day did not correspond with mine. They promised, how ever, though they thought it hoping against hope, to co-operate with me. Faithfully did they com ply with their engagement, and amply have they been rewarded. At the expiration of a year I heard from him, and all was well. Joy and glad ness had returned to that household, gratitude had cast the mantle of oblivion over the past, and hope gilded the future. About this time, or shortly after, the Wash ingtonian movement was inaugurated. The sub ject of this sketch was made President of one of their societies in the city of his residence, and often, as a delegate, visited kindred associations in his own and other States, and though not a public speaker, rehearsed the story of his own reform, demonstrating, by his own experience, the truth, that total abstinence is the only hope of the inebriate. In August last, twenty-four years after my first visit, as above stated, I again visited this distant relative. The frosts of seventy winters had ga thered upon his brow, but I found him, as he had been for the last twenty-four years, “clothed and in his right mind,” enfeebled with age and its infirmities, and with a confident hope of a glori ous immortality, waiting patiently and with res ignation till the appointed time ofhis change shall come, like a shock of wheat fully ripe lor the gar ner. He had been prosperous in business, and with an ample competency had retired from its cares and vexations. Restored years ago to the church from which he had wandered, and enjoy ing its confidence, respected and esteemed by the community in which he lives, and beloved by his family, one of which any parent may be proud, the aged patriarch loves to recall the scenes ol the past; to speak of the pit from whence he was emancipated, and especially to advocate the great cause of temperance reform. In parting from him, with much emotion, he took from his finger a ring, and asked me if I remembered it. Said he, “I have no further use for it. With me it has been a talisman —has done its mission. Take it and wear it—not only as a memento of me, but of the duty you owe to others. Tell its history to others, trs I have done. Tell them thero is hope for the drunkard, and that his only hope is in total abstinence.” On the inside of the ring he had engraved “Aug. 1834.” It is in compliance with the spirit of this in junction so feelingly laid upon me, that I have hastily perused this history of a ring. Should it meet the eye of any one—a father, brother, son or other relative or friend who has one near and dear to him, engulphed in the abyss of intem perance, let him not despond. By kindness, by fidelity, by perseverance, with the blessing of Heaven, he may be reclaimed. Let it not, how ever, be forgotten, that if the drunkard would achieve a victory over himself, there must be no compromises with his enemy. That delusion is the fatal rock on which the hopes of thousands have been shipwrecked. Moderate indulgence, tapering off, partial reform, are vain and worse than useless expedients; they stimulate to re newed energy, but do not destroy the monster. Total abstinence is the on'y hope of the drunk ard - FRATER. Georgia, Jan . 1859. marriages.
