One Word to Subscribers and Post Master*.
In remitting us money be sure to mention, a*
the top of your letter, the name of the office at
which you receive the paper, and at the bottom
write, in a plain hand, your own signature. In
directing your address changed, give us the name
of the office to which the paper is to be discon
tinued, as well as the one to which you desire it
changed. When you wish your paper discontin
ued, always address us a gentlemanly note, in
quiring the amount you are due for arrears, and
having settled that, your order will be promptly
executed. To refuse the paper at the post office,
when you wish it discontinued, is not the proper
course to be pursued. When a post master deems
it necessary to return a paper to the proprietor,
he should be very careful to write on the margin
the name of the office.
A strict observance of these suggestions, by
those to whom they are addressed, will save all
concerned a vast deal of unnecessary trouble, and
much annoying vexation.
Letters from Alabama.
Avery intelligent lady friend, formerly a citi
zen of Georgia, but now of Alabama, and famil
iarly known and beloved throughout this State
as an authoress and popular newspaper writer,
has kindly consented to give us a series of letters
from our sister State. They will be read, with
great gratification, by the citizens of both States.
Her first letter appears in this issue.
Dr. Hauser, of Jefferson, is republishing in our
paper an interesting series of articles upon Mu
sic, the 2nd No. appears this week.
SR. HEARS.
We are happy to learn, through a private letter
written to a friend in this city, that the health of
this distinguished physician and eminent minister,
is still gradually improving. He has been out
several times, which will be inteiesting news
to the public generally, and it is the sincere
desire of thousands In Georgia, that he may soon
be restored to perfect health.
A number of young gentlemen belonging to the
flourishing school ofMr. Alexander Wilson, are
embarking in the laudable enterprise of starting
a youth’s Magazine, to assist in the cultivation
and development of their minds. It is a worthy
undertaking on the part of the boys, and we are
pleased to see them meeting with such general
encouragement from the citizens.
We invite special attention to the advertise
ment, in this paper, of Mr. Ripley, the amiable
and gentlemanly proprietor of our crockery store.
This is the only regular house ot this kind in the
city, and it is really a unique establishment, in
which housekeepers may find everything that
may be wanted in the way of crockery or glass
ware. People from abroad, in the city or in the
country, in want of anything of the kind, will re
member that this house is the place to have their
wishes supplied.
Terrible Accusation.
A sable daughter of Ham, having been treated
with great dismajugnity by someone, came
streaming by us in the street a few days since,
with crinoline distended to the fullest dimensions
of a second-hand hoop, and with eyes resembling
a couple of hen’s eggs upon a wheelbarrow of
charcoal, when we heard her, with great indigni
ty, remark: “he haven't got no gentlemanly turns
about him whutsomever.” We regarded it as a
very serious charge, and regretted it exceedingly.
Milk and Peaches in March.
How delightful! How natural! and, as “Lan
gum” says, how “malicious”! We enjoyed this
luxury full-y last week, through the kind genera
osity of our polite townsman, Mr. George H.
Daniel, who has one of the largest and handsom
est Family Grocery Stores in our city. He has
just been receiving large importations of all kinds
of family supplies; and among the rest, a large
quantity of fresh fruit put up in sealed cans —
peaches, damsons, &r. —and his genuine polite
ness and liberality prompted him to favor us with
a “taste,” for which we return him many thanks.
Mr. Daniel is one of our most w r orthy and influ
ential citizens.
Profiles.
Do you wish a perfect likeness of yourself—a
daguerreotype of your features just as they are ?
Call on our friend Smith, who has recently lo
cated in the Holland House, a few doors above
our office. Some artists make handsome pictures
of ugly persons, but Smith’s Camera Obscura
represents you in your trpe colors. If you are
handsome, he gives you a handsome picture ; if
hard-favored, he gives you an ugly picture, which
is certainly the perfection of the art. We return
him many thanks for a “ handsome ” likeness of
ourself.
Mount Carmel.
We had the pleasure of meeting, in our sanc
tum, a few days since, Rev. Mr. Crawford, of the
above named place, and from a short acquain
tance formed quite an attachment to him and the
good people of his community. His neighbor
hood is surely the stronghold of temperance, and
is a model section of our State. Among the many
interesting facts which he mentioned concerning
his neighbors, he stated that they would not dis
solve even their camphor in ardent spirits, but
used water altogether for that purpose. Why has
not the Crusader a larger circulation in that high
toned community ? Where is brother Foster ?
We announced, sometime since, that we thought
there were no dry goods stores in Atlanta, but it
was a mistake, for there are two splendid estab
lishments, and one of them is the store of J. L.
Cutting & Cos. a few doors below Beach &. Root,
on the opposite side of Whitehall street. This is
one of our most popular houses, is always doing
well, but especially at this time, as they are now
receiving a very large and varied assortment of
beautiful new spring goods. We know this firm
to be one of the right kind, and can cheerfully re
commend them to the public as eminently wor
thy of the highest confidence and a most liberal
patronage.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Our thanks are due Messrs. Toombs and
Stephens, for congressional speeches and public
documents.
Friend Whidby, Recording]Scribe of the Young
Men’s Christian Associatin, of Augusta, will
accept our thanks for a copy of the first annual
report of that Asociation.
Our thanks are due many friends for copies of
the proceedings of the Grand Divisions of
South Carolina, Florida and Eastern New York.
Amusements in Atlanta.
Our city has been favored with many fine ex
hibitions of various kinds this season, and it is a
sure evidence of our growing importance and
popularity abroad. It is also a mark of cultiva
ted taste, on the part of our population, to be
qualified to appreciate a dignified and innocent
performance, and for these reasons we can but
favor them, are happy to have them visit thecity,
and when worthy of patronage, we like to see
them receive if. We have had, consecutively,
during the last four or five weeks, “Crisp’s Gai
ety,” Florence and Lady, the Swiss Bell Ringers,
the Ravels, and a most excellent Panorama of Dr.
Kane’s Arctic Expedition in search of the unfor
tunate Sir John Franklin is now on exhibition at
the Atheneum. The Painting is a magnificent
work of art, is drawn from sketches by Dr. Kane
himself, and from its undoubted correctness, is a
most worthy and interesting scene.
Celebrations in 1959.
The present year is destined to witness a revi
val of the temperance cause in Georgia, more
glorious than any which has been known during
the last decade. The tires have only been smoul
dering, and are now finding vent which will soon
open up a joyful blaze. The people are moving;
the dry bones are beginning to shake ; the delu
sive spell is wearing away, and theenemy are be
ginning to gnash their teeth in rage. Let your
watch-word be onward, friends and fellow-labor
ers. Contest, with manly struggles, every inch
of ground, and the demonism of intemperance
shall and will retire before your strong tread.
The signs of the times, just now, indicate a
truly bright era in the history of our reformation.
Old Flewellen Division, at Palmetto, which, for
sometime past, was thought to be languishing,
has arisen, under the stirring eloquence of the old
“War Horse,” like a Phoenix from the ashes, and
its prosperity and influence to-day is unsurpassed
by any similar Division in the South. Honor
and glory are hers, and we only trust she shall
never retreat from her present proud position.
On the 2d Saturday in next month, she will ex
hibit her beauty, magnificence and strength to
the public, in a grand celebration and festival.
A great time and a” grand display is anticipated,
and we earnestly hope everything may favor the
movement. Have a memorable time, brethren,
and let the wicked enemy see our pride and pomp.
Miller Lodge, Knights of Jericho, at Weston,
are preparing for a grand display in May ; Bal
dwin Raifprd Division, in Jefferson county, jyill
also be on hand, as usual, about the Ist day of
that month, and we hear of many other fraterni
ties which are contemplating revivals of this kind.
Let us encourage the members to carry it out.
Have a celebration—show yourselves to the peo
ple—take more interest in the prosperity of your
Division or Lodge, and let the world see that you
are not ashamed of your profession. Turn out
era masse, and celebrate your anniversaries with
all your soul, might and strength. We hope
every Division and Lodge in the State will have
a grand turn out this year.
Mr. Vm. H. Hunter, the Children’s Friend—Agent
for the Crusader.
We had the pleasure of welcoming this distin
guished and popular Sunday School Lecturer into
our sanctum a few mornings since, as he was
passing through the city on his way to Fayette
ville. He is looking as hale and hearty as ever,
possesses his usual fund of good humor, and is
still thoroughly imbued with faith and* zeal in
the good work of his mission.
We are happy to announce that we have se
cured his services as Agent for this paper, and
propose to allow him a liberal share of
each new subeription he may obtain, to assist
him in the noble cause ofSunday Shools ; hence,
those who ntay subscribe to the Crusader through
Mr. Hunter, will not only receive the State tem
perance, and a popular literary journal, but they
will be aiding a most worthy enterprise. Our
friend Hunter has also promised to drop us a line
occasionally, upon the subject of temperance,
intended more especially for our juvenile readers.
His articles will be interesting to thousands of
his little triends in Georgia and other States.
We call the attention of the public, especially
to the fact that his Post Office address is now
Berzelia. Those who may wish his services, in
behalf of Sunday schools or temperance, will ad
dress him at that point.
National American.
We are truly pleased to see that our neighbors
are enjoying such a high degree of prosperity, as
to enable them to enlarge their tri-weekly. It
is, of course, indicative of success, and we are
sure the American is eminently Worthy of the
most liberal encouragement. We have always
regarded it as one of the best political papers in
the State, and now, that it is so much enlarged,
it will and should command universal attention.
The tri-weekly is now, perhaps, the largest in
the State, and its able editors commence the new
volume with renewed energies. The ready pen
and personal popularity of Col. Hanleiter, the
proprietor, would, of themselves, secure a large
patronage to the paper; but with the aid of his
associates, Messrs. Peterson and Slaughter, it
can but meet with the greatest success. Our
friend Peterson is an energetic writer, possesses
a versatile genius, and. all his editorials are
pointed, forcible and well written. Friend Slaugh
ter possesses an enviable flow of language, and a
vivid imagination, which, combined with his sa
tiric abilities, make him a most popular writer.
We wish each of these editors, together with
their excellent paper, abundant success, and warm
ly commend the American to the consideration of
the public.
State Pair of Georgia for 1859.
A premium list of the Southern Central Ag
ricultural Society, which is to meet in this
city in October next, has been laid upon our ta
ble. The premiums are attractive, worth striv
ing for, and should create much emulation among
the farmers, mechanics and labores of all kinds
throughout the State. This is an organiza
tion which should be warmly cherished and fos
tered by the citizens of Georgia, and should never
be permitted to languish.
The subjoined is a list of the officers for the
current year :

LAW SCHOOL IN MARIETTA.
A movement is on foot, in Marietta. Geo., hav
ing for its object the establishment of a law school
in that place, during the coming summer, the
lectures in which will be delivered by Judge
Wm. T. Gould, of this city. The Marietta Ad
vocate thinks the movement will most probably
be successful. A correspondent of the*same pa
per says:
His consent has been obtained to enter upon
a course of lectures of twelve or fourteen weeks
duration, the coming summer, as an experiment,
provided forty students can be obtained.
lie proposes to give one lecture a day, from
sixty to seventy-five minutes in length, and to
select out of his regular course the most impor
tant and practical subjects of the law—the fee
for admittance to be seventy-five dollars per stu
dent—a moot court to be held in connection with
the course.
A meeting of legal gentlemen was held at (he
late term of Paulding Court, and a committee ap
pointed to make such efforts and arrangements
as will secure the estalishment of the school.
Thrilling Incident.—At a temperance meet
ing in Philadelphia, some years ago, a learned
clergyman spoke in favor of wine as a drink, de
monstrating it quite to his own satisfaction to be
Scriptural, gentlemanly and healthful. When
the clergyman sat down, a plain, elderly man
arose, and aske-l the liberty of saying a few
words. Permission being granted, he spoke as
follows :
“A young friend of mine,” said he, “ who had
long been intemperate, was prevailed on, to the
joy of his friends, to take the pledge of entire ab
stinence from all that could intoxicate. He kept
his pledge faithfully for some time, though the
struggle with his habit was fearful, till one eve
ning, in a social party, glasses of wine were
handed around. They came to a clergyman
present, who took a glass, saying a few words in
vindication of the practice. “Well,” thought
the young man, “it clergymen can take wine and
justify it so well, why not I?” So he took a
glass. It instantly rekindled his fiery and slum
bering appetite, and after a rapid and downward
course, he died of delirium tremens—a raving
madman !” The old man paused for utterance,
and was just able to add —“That young man was
my only son, and the clergyman was the Reve
rend Doctor who has just addressed the assem
bly.”—American Presbyterian.
The Temperance Monthly, for February, a neat
and handsome journal, printed at McMinnville,
Tenn. has been received. It is published by J.
Stewart Smith, and the number before us con
tains the salutatory of Mr. Geo. E. Purvis, as
editor. We welcome it to our exchange list and
hope to receive it regularly.
The True Gentleman.— He is courteous and
affable to his neighbors. As the sword of the
best tempered metal is most flexible, so the truly
generous are most pliant and courteous in their
behavior to their inferiors.
THE GEORGIA TEMPER AN GE CRUSADER.
Atlanta Lodge, Knights of Jericho.
The success and onward progress @f this model
temperance organization is unprecedented. It
meets on every Saturday night, and there are
new accessions at every meeting, and on last
Saturday night there were H era initiations—eight
intelligent young gentlemen and two ladies.
What can be more encouraging ? The Lodge is
upon a permanent basis, clear of debt, has a large
surplus on hand, and is legally incorporated and
invested with all the rights, privileges and po
wers which belong to any other independent body.
Our worthy Treasurer, Mr. Wm. G. Forsyth, is
a most excellent financier, faithful and energetic,
and having the interest of the Lodge fully at
heart, has managed its pecuniary matters admi
rably’well, and placed it beyond all probability
of any embarrassment. Our Worthy Chief, the
Rev. F. P. Perdue, is a man of sterling integrity,
and one in whom we all have the highest confi
dence. As presiding officer, Le is unsurpassed,
filling his chair in such a manner, as to receive
the unanimous approval of every menlber of the
Lodge. There are between sixty and a hundred
members, ladies and gentlemen who attend reg
ularly at every meeting; they are clever, social
and intelligent, making it a real pleasure to meet
and mingle with them. We have many excel
lent, fine looking ladies, both married and single,
who meet with us regularly, to participate in our
deliberations, and cheer us with their approving,
pleasant countenances. They take a deep inter
est in the prosperity of the Lodge, which is evi ;
dent from their promptness and punctuality in
attending, and when the ladies become fully en
listed in behalf of any enterprise, success is inev
itable. “Three cheers” for our glorious Lodge!
It is rapidly progressing towards the grand con
summation of the end aimed at, and its present
prospects indicate that it will soon reach a posi
tion never yet recorded in the history of any tem
perance organization. There is yet room for
many more accessions, and we are ready, willing
and waiting te receive them.
Church Temperance Society.
The friends of temperance in Boston are begin
ning to work in the right direction, and we most
feelingly urge it upon temperance Christians in
Georgia, to imitate their example. Members of
the church are under solemn obligations to their
Maker, to themselves and to the world, to aid,
encourage and adopt every measure designed to
reform, moralize and save the wicked from deg
radation and death. Let all our different churches
form, immediately, “church temperance socie
ties.” See what our friends in Massachusetts
are doing. We take the following from the Bos
ton Visitor: *
We are glad to record the fact that a most im
portant step has been taken to cafl into action the
influence of the churches of our city, in behalf of
the great cause of temperance. We hail this as
an omen of better days ahead. Once let the po
wer of the church be felt against rum-selling and
drinking of the day, and that bane of society will
receive its death blow. But we hope this move
ment, on the part of the Park street Church, will
not be allowed to stop there. Why cannot the
other churches take the same commendable
course ? Let us see in every religious society of
Boston a temperance society. All honor tothose
who have originated this movement. Who fol
lows next this glorious example ? We have re
ceived the following particulars of the organiza
tion from a gentleman concerned in the work:
New Society. —Sunday evening, 20th, the
members of Park street church, and society, met
in the vestry, for the purpose of organizing a
“Temperance Society,” to be connected with
the church and free for all to join.
The pastor —Rev. Mr. Stone—opened the meet
ing with some remarks showing the sin and folly
of the cup, as well as giving ample proof from the
Bible of his correctness. He then made some
very interesting remarks to young ladies, in which
he cordially invited them to come forward and
sign the pledge, giving good reasons for so doing.
He had heard of one or two instances where
young men had refrained from taking the pledge,
on the ground that a lady friend of theirs some
times challenged them to take a glass of wine,
and they did not wish to be pledged, so they
should have to refuse. He said he wusiied every
young lady of Park street church and society, to
set an example worthy of being followed by all
the sister churches of New England and the
world.
Meeting of the State Medical Society.
This honored and respectable body will hold its
next annual meeting in this city, and the frater
nity, here, are anticipating and making prepara
tions for the largest demonstration which the pro
fession ever had in the State. Extensive
preliminaries for a large party or public enter
tainment are being transacted, and the probabili
ties are, that the doctors of the country will have
a grand time of it. We take pleasure in trans
ferring to our columns, from the Atlanta Medi
cal Journal, the following editorial, by Dr. Lo
gan, (one of the ornaments to the profession) in
regard to the matter in general:
Feeling a deep interest in the welfare of this
body, over which the Senior Editor of this Jour
nal was called to preside for the present year, we
would desire to direct the attention of the pro
fession throughout the State to the fact, that it
holds its next Annual Meeting in the City of
Atlanta, on the second Wednesday in April,
1859.
It would be a work of supererogation to go into
an argument to prove the advantages of Medecal
Associations, and this is not our object, but we
feel that something ought to be done to arouse
the Medical men of the State from their apparent
forgetfulness of the great interests which they
have involved in the question, whether the State
Medical Society shall be the instrument of the
incalculable amount of good, it may be made to
accomplish ?
We shall not hesitate to say, that in our judg
ment, the permanent prosperity of this body far
exceeds in value that of the American Medical
Association, to the Medical men of the State of
Georgia.
We regard it as the only real bond of Union in
the shape of organization, to the permanency of
which, we can look with any confidence, and be
sides, as the only rightful guardian of the inter
ests of the profession, however heterodox the
doctrine may be, to those who look beyond its
jurisdiction, for all the power to regulate Medical
matters within our borders.
We know of no “higher law” in Medicine,
than that which emanates from the assembled
wisdom and authority, of the large number of
Medical men to be found throughout the length
and hroadth of this broad Sovereignty.
Entertaining such views then, we would desire
to urge in the most earnest manner, our Medical
brethren from every portion of the Stale to come
up in full representation to the Annual Meeting
of their Society, assuring them in the name of the
Profession of this city, that they will meet with a
most cordial welcome.
Being placed, as we were, at the most accessi
ble point to every portion of the State, we confi
dently anticipate the largest meeting since the
organization of the Society, and the inauguration
of anew and brighter era in its history.
In conclusion, we desire to commend the sub
ject to the attention ol the various Medical Jour
nals of the State, with the request that they will
unite with us, in the effort to bring up a large
representation to the next meeting of the Society.
As there may be some misapprehension upon
the part of those who have not heretofore attended
the deliberation of this body, in reference to the
terms of admission, we would add, that any true
Medical man in regular standing, is eligible to
membership—without a fee—either upon present
ing himself, or being vouched for by some
member of the Society.
“Come in Joe, and let’s take a drink.”
“Thank you, Thomas, can’t afford it.”

character, peace of mind, self respect 1 and sweet
breath.” .

which is begotten over the wine-bottle, has no

called up by the delirious blood and the wicked
spells of the vine.” 1
THE TWO ANGELS •
There are two angels that attend unseen *
Each one of us, and in great books record
Our good and eVil deeds. He who writes down
The ones, after every action closes

Till sunset, that we may repent; which doing,
The record.of the action fades away,
And leaves a line ot white across ihe page.
Now if my act be good, as I believe it,
It cannot be recalled. It is already
Sealed up in heaven, as a good deed accomplished.
The rest is yours. — Longfellow.

MUSIC.
l'Y WM. HAUSER, M. D. OF GA.
’ NO. 11.
Reader, you will keep in mind that at our last
meeting we resolved ourselves into a singing
school. Before I proceed with my lecture, let us
sing:
“Why stand ye round the threshold :
Ye timid ones, draw near ;
Sweet words and joyful music
Unite in concord here.
“But when you come remember
The rule by which we stand :
No gloomy brow is suffered
Amid our happy band.
“We cherish ev’ry pleasure
Which virtue can approve ;
We find delight in loving
Whate’er the virtuous love.
“Then stand not round the threshold,
Ye timid ones, draw near ;
Come, mingle with our music
In sweetest concord here.”
I have but one rule in my singing schools, and
that is, you must pay, at all times, the closest
possible attention to everything I say. Now if I
had a dozen for you, you might, through forget
fulness, violate some of them ; and you would be
excusable in such a case ; but what say you to a
pupil who will violate the only rule his teacher
has ? Scurvy fellow, isn’t he < Then be careful,
and do not place yourself in the painful predica
ment of having to acknowledge to yourself that
you have been mean enough to violate the only
rule I have in my school.
But some of you wish to learn the Violin, oth
ers the Flute and others the Piano, Melodeon,
&c., &c.; you did not desire to attend so poor a
thing as a singing-school. Well, don’t get im
patient and fly off in a tangent, for I intend to
teach you how to play all these instruments, as
well as to sing, before our school closes. Keep
in mind my one rule.
There are but seven elementary sounds in mu
sic, no matter whether birds whistle it, men sing
it or play it on any instrument, or God’s grand
old ocean roars it. You doubt this, do you ?
Very natural you should, for there are thous
ands of tunes sung in all the languages of earth;
still there are only seven elementary sounds for
all the singing and playing that is done. Mr.
Jesse B. Aikin, ol Philadelphia, a most ingenious
musician, suggested to me that these seven
sounds might be made to occupy 5040 different
positions. You have learned the rule of Permu
tation, (into the Arithmetic a little just now)
which shows how to find the number of positions
any given number of things may occupy. Thus,
Ix2x3x4xsx6x 7=5040. You multiply all
the numbers into one another to obtain this re
sult. But I shall drop this permutation idea for
the present, intending to bring it up again when
I shall have taught you the difference between
the Diatonic and Chromatic scales of music.
The elementary principles of music are the
very same, whether you play them on that most
curious and noble of all instiuments, your own
vocal apparatus, or on a fife, flute, flageolet, ban
jo, violin, harp, lute, piano, organ, or any other
of man’s invention. If this remark is true, a
singing-school, properly conducted, may prove of
vast benefit to you ; aud that it is true L intend
to Show you fully before I stop. We must learn
to sing those seven elementary sounds correctly,
as they form the alphabet of all tho music of the
world, and then we can learn how to make them
on any instrument we take up.
I have no eloquent remarks to make you on
the general subject of music at this time ; you
need no such ; you need thorough elementary
instruction first, that you may benefitted practi
cally.
Further instructions next week.
Letters From Alabama.
NO. i.
Mr. Editor: Something was said, as I gave
you the parting hand in Dr. H’s. front parlor,
one bitter cold morning last November, about a
series of letters from Alabama. Yesterday a
copy of the ‘Crusader’ came to band, and I was
thereby reminded of your request. But this is a
quiet community and, I fear, there are few inci
dents occurring in our midst, which will be of
any great interest to youc readers. IJpwever,
my word is out for the papers—l will write and
you can publish or reject as you see proper.
How beautifully significant are all Indian
names! Alabama is a Creek word and means,
“herewe rest.” The poor savage murmured it
years ago, when, after having fled before a ruth
less foe, he planted his moccasined foot beneath
the .blue skies, beside ] the bold streams, and
upon the fertile soil of this goodly land. I can
almost see him now—his painted face is turned
towards the western sun ; his slackened bow
string is upon his arm ; his arrows are broken
and pointless—for he is just out of a long and
bloody warfare ; his blanket is tom and one
corner trails in the dust; his straight, black hair
flows in wild disorder over his shoulders; his
his wife and children have set down upon the
jutting rocks, to rest their weary limbs ; there is
a tear in the old chieftain’s eye as he looks to
wards the goodly hunting grounds from which
he has been driven—but at this a moment a deer
bounds gracefully over the distant hills. The
old man’s eye brightens at the sight; his bow
slips upon his arm and one end of it rests in the
sand at his feet. “Alabama !” he shouts to the
remnant of his tribe, now slowly heaving in
sight, “Alabama !” flies in tones of gladness from
lip to lip, and the land is christened forever, the
resting place of the weary.
But alas ! poor red man ! For a few brief sum
mers the smoke of his wigwam curled gracefully
througli the blue air; his wife planted the maize
fields—he angled in the streams, and brought his
game home from the chase. The green corn dan
ces here were very merry, and what Palestine was
tdthepoorlsraelite after his forty years’ wander
ing, Alabama became to the foot-sore and storm
beaten Creek. But the step of the aggressor was
soon upon the sod. There is no trace of the
wigwam to be seen here now, altho’ a few years
ago there was an old chieflan’s hut, standing on
the bank of the river, not far below where I am
now writing. It was to me a sight full of inter
est. I visited it in the Spring time, when the
peach trees wore their beautiful coronals of flow
ers, and tints of verdure were faintly showing
themselves upon the boughs of the hoary old for
est oaks. A wild young vifie crept up and com
pletely mantled its sides, thus giving to it out
side, somewhat the appearance of an arbor, and
within there was still to be seen the pegs where
he hung his venison over the fire to dry, and an
elevated place in one corner, whore he spread his
deer skin at night. I thought, as I stood there
how that rude pile of poles had witnessed (if any
thing inanimate can be said to witness) the joy
and sorrow, the love and hatred, the hopes and
fears, almost the extinction of a powerful race.
Will the time ever come, when a mightier peo
ple than we, shall thus stand and rehearse our
strange customs and muse over our desolated
homes ? Or are we secure, because the strong
voice of prophecy foretold ages ago, that the
white browed children of Japheth should dwell in
the tents of Shem, and Ham! (alas, for poor
Ham!) he was to be the servant. How Btrong
was that eye, which, when gating forward through
centuries, and into what was then an unknown
country, could so exactly see what was to trans
pire in our day and generation.
But speaking of the river, reminds me to tell
you, Mr. Editor, that the Tallapoosa is to me, at
this point, one of the most delightful streams in
the world. I could wander all day upon its
banks. I saw it years ago, when it was one
broad, glossy sheet of water, unbroken by dam or
millwheel.
“But,beautiful as ere,
They make it labor now;
Yet much enraged [at such constraint,
Away it glideth, big with grief,
To bieathe its piteous oomplaint
To every sympathising leaf.”
I have made inquiries in regard to the name of
this stream. Those who are best versed in In
dian nomenclature, say that it has some refer
ence to the finny tribes which abound in its
depths. Be that as it may*there are fine fish to be
caught here.
Next summer, when the red brick walls of At
lanta glow like a furnace, and Whitehall street
is clouded with dust—when the sky overhead is
like brass, and scarcely a breeze slirs the gossa
mer upon the trees which shade your sidewalks,
how pleasant it will be here among the green
vines, the cool old mossy rocks, and tail trees
upon the banks. How pleasant it will be, stand
ing at the ford, and watching the ferry-man just
above, while his hand glides along the large
wire, and his “flat” with its freightage ot white
meal bags, patient oxen, country carts, horses,
horsemen, foot travellers or school children,
glides to the opposite shore, and then, when the
sun has darted his last golden arrow into the
sparkling wave, and gone down through clouds
of crimson and gold, on his mission to another
hemisphere—when the stars came out, one by
one, and the air is full of balm and dew, and the
early, evening fires glow through all the doors
and windows of the little houses, which skirt the
way, how pleasant the homeward walk ! All this
quiet, rural beauty, stirs my soul like music.
Suppose you bring Mollie and “the boy” over
here, next summer, and enjoy it with me. Mrs.
Bryan must come too ; I love her because she
writes so charmingly ; and Mr. V. I guess, would
find prettier blue flag flowers here than I used to
see in his hands last summer, when he was re
turning from his evening rambles. But I am at
the end of my sheet, and must close. KATE.
[For the Crusader.]
Mr. Editor: In the dearth of temperance
news, prevailing at present, it may not prove un
acceptable to receive some recollections and sug
gestions from an old campaigner, in relation to the
history of the temperance reformation in Geor
gia during the last few years. Within the past
four years, there has undoubtedly been a back
ward movement in the cause, and it certainly is
the part of wisdom, as well as of policy, to trace
that retrogression, if possible, to its true cause, in
order that we may retrace our steps, and regain
our losse?. That this may be done, it is the du
ty of every true friend of temperance to con
tribute his mite of information, or opinion, how
ever small, so that the truth may be eliminated
from the aggregate. With this view, I give you
my opinion, not because I think it entitled to very
great weight, but that it may induce discussion
and inquiry; and if I am wrong, my error may
enlist soni6 abler pen in the cause of truth. I be
lieve, then, that the prime cause—that which lies
at the yery bottom of our present declension, was
uniting the legal suasion principle with the mor
al, and, as a consequence of that, sotting up our
selves as a separate party to elect a Governor.
How any association of sensible men could have
been so demented as to suppose that this could
be accomplished, it is difficult to conceive, and
yet truth compels the writer to confess that he
was one of the_demented, who voted for Overby
in spite of party ties and party associations.
There were, however, at that time, several
causes, which conspired to induce the friends of
temperance to hope that success was attainable.
The temperance reformation in Georgia has been
for several years a grand success. Lecturers had
canvassed the State from one extreme to the oth
er, and aroused the people to action, while they
disseminated among the masses an amount of
information upon this subject, which they had
not before possessed. The subject in all its bear
ings, and with all the light that modern discove
ries had thrown around it, was brought home to
the people, pressed upon their attention, and
urged upon them, with the power of truth and the
zeal of enthusiasm. Prominent among these no
ble advocates—indeed “primus inter pares”—
stood, as now stands, Uncle Dabney, justly styled
the “Blucher of the temperance reformation in
Georgia.” His genial temper, his sunny smile,
his frank and manly bearing, his singleness of
purpose, his stirring appeals, his apt but homely
comparisons, his humorous illustrations, his life
like portraitures, and, above all, that high and
holy enthusiasm that prompted him to forego
domestic comfort, endure toil, incur pecuniary
loss, and make a sacrifice, a willing sacrifice, ot
his time, his talents and his labors for the ad
vancement of ot the cause, because he believed it
to be the cause of humanity and of God—made
him a general favorite among all classes, and dis
armed the prejudices even of his opponents. Then
there were Duryee, Elam, Renneau, Hewlett,
Gresham, Brantly and a host of Others, some in
a wider, others in a narrower sphere, engaged in
the same glorious work; and under the influence
of their appeals, a kindred euthusiasm was exci
ted in the minds of the people, and willing hearts
and strong hands were everywhere enlisted to
push forward the car of temperance. Organiza
tions were formed all over the State ; Divisions
ol the sons sprung up in almost every village,
from the seaboard to the mountains, and “Love,
Purity and Fidelity,” became household words
in Georgia. Public opinion was gradually
changed, until the general sentiment of the peo
ple was in favor of temperance, and even those
who withheld their aid from the movement, and
some who practically opposed it, expressed them
selves in its favor. The friends of the cause be
lieved that it had gained such firm footing in the
State, was so firmly engrafted upon the senti
ments of the people, that a majority would be in
favor of suppressing the evils resulting from the
liquor traffic, and even the traffic itself, by the
direct interposition of Legislative authority.
Added to this, there had been a very general con
fusion among political parties, a disruption ofold
party ties, and an effacing of old party lines.
The old Whig and Democratic parties had been
merged into the “Constitutional Union party, on
the one hand, and the Southern Rights party on
the other; and the occasion which gave rise to
these last organizations having passed away, the
wave of popular feeling had not yet taken a defi
nite direction. Parties, if they had any existence,
were only in a semi-chaotic state, just emerging
inro life. All the old party issues had been de
cided, and there was no question of national pol
icy, then pending, sufficiently important to array
the people into parties. In this interregnum, it
was thought that the temperance principle was of
sufficient importance, and strong enough to form
the nucleus around which a party could be rallied,
embodying a majority of the voting population of
the State. The matter had been discussed among
the more enthusiastic leaders, and they thought
the circumstances j ustified the experiment. They
had been familiar with the progress of the tem
perance movement from its inception ; they had
seen its beginning in the rapid rise of the
Washingtonians, and when that particular or
ganization had discharged its office, and begun
to retrograde they had seen the institution of the
Sons of Temperance spring up, like a Phoenix from
its ashes, and spread itself with astonishing ra
pidity among all ranks and classes in the state ;
and now, they thought another step forward
should be taken; and what measure could be
more important, than that which would wipe
from the statute book of Georgia the legal sanc
tion of the liquor traffic? Under these circumstan
ces, the State temperance convention met at
Athens,'and the subject was very soon intro
duced into their deliberations. The direction
which the temperance movement was likely to
take, had become pretty generally known, and
the more prudent of its friends were fearful of the
issue. At this meeting was handed in the resig
nation ofHon. Jos. Henry Lumpkin, as President
of the convention, a position which he had woi
thily held almost (if not quite) from the first or
ganization of the convention. It was accompa
nied with a letter to the convention, in which
(the writer relies upon memory alone) he professed
the same fealty to the cause, that he had for years
so steadily manifested, and the same abiding
faith in its ultimate triumph ; but deprecated the
misguided zeal, which would hazard all we had
gained by years of continued effort, in the vain
attempt to secure that legislation for which the
sentiment ot the people was not yet ripe; and
offered some suggestions as to the proper policy
to be adopted. But the temper of the convention,
at least of a large portion of it, was unsuited to
moderate counsels. Some adopted the views of
their president, and warmly urged them upon
the convention; while others scoffed at the idea of
adopting such tame measures, charged the retir
ing officer with fear of public opinion, with a
lukewarmness, engendered, perhaps, by his re
cent associations, and some even hinted that he
might have proved false to his early, faith. The
discussion, for a temperance convention, was
rather an excited one. All were anxious to adopt
that plan which would best promote the success
of the cause, but they differed widely as to the
plan itself. On the one side, was Rev. Jos.
Gresham, who had just retured from the meeting
of the National Division at Chicago, and whose
soul, naturally ardent, had been fired anew by
association with the master-spirits of the tem
perance movement in the Union. Os a naturally
enthusiastic temperament, he made his confidence
in the success of the cause a part of his religious
faith, and believed nothing impossible to those
who, with a firm reliance upon Providence, would
make no compromise with alcohol, but strike
boldly for victory. He acted upon the principle,
that “all things are possible to him that believes.”
Then there was Uncle Dabney, who had lived in
a temperance element so long, that he almost be
lieved it to be the natural air of his native State;
and who had become so much accustomed to see
the forces of alcohol retire before his attacks, or
surrender to his broadsides, that he thought it
was only necessary to get the old Prince into a
general fight, in order to rout him completely.
Uncle Ben was there too, whose “Banner” had
been waving so long over the temperance host,
that the possibility of its being borne by a re
treating force, never entered his mind. In the
privacy of his sanctum, and through the columns
of his paper, he had been accustomed to converse
only with the friends of temperance; and the
communications which he received, were gener
ally such as heralded the success of the cause in
particular localities, and breathed high hopes of
final triumph. These were the leaders, men
whose fidelity to the cause was neverquestioned,
but yet men who had not been accustomed to
mingle indiscriminately with all classes of the peo
ple, and learn their temper and sentiments. There
were others who maintained the same opinions,
and the same measures, and I am disposed to
think that on a fair division, they would have
• constituted a majority of the convention proper.
On the other side were Hull, Peeples, Key and some
others, and, I think, Dr. Hoyt, who warmly es
poused the views of the late President of the con
vention, and some of them vigorously opposed
the passage of any resolution, which demanded
direct legislative prohibition. The views of the lat
ter prevailed by a dexlerious use of the previous
question. But though the convention, as such,
adopted no resolution, demanding prohibitory
legislation, the question was fairly sprung, and
from this beginning resulted the nomination of
Mr. Overby for Governor in the following year.
In the mean time, the chaotic elements in the po
litical world had been gradually assuming a mere
definite shape; anew organization had been
making unseen but rapid progress, and out of the
elements of the old Whig, Democratic, Consti
tutional Union and Southern Rights parties, arose
the modern Democratic and Amerian parties,
each fairly organized upon new issues, but both
■ ignoring the existence of the temperance party.
Mr. Overby was nominated avowedly upon the
principle that prohibitory legislation was not only
constitutional and expedient, but that it was im
-1 peratively demanded by the wants of the people.
1 The campaign opened, and just here we began to
see the foreshadowings of the deplorable retro
gression which wa have since experienced. One
of the first evil consequences which resulted from
our change of tactics, was the idea upon which
all seemed practically to act, though none ex
pressed it in words, viz : that moral suasion was
‘functus officio’—dead; and that there was no use
in making any further efforts to reform the
drunkard, until we first laid the strong arm of
the law upon the rumseller, and deprived him of
the power of undoing our work. Accordingly,
the division rooms were generally deserted, and
the means which had been so successful in pro
moting the cause of moral reform were gradually
abandoned, until the Divisions themselves died
out, one by one, and so quietly, that though.they
were certainly dead, no one could tell the precise
time of their demise.
Another evil consequence was, that it gave our
enemies and our lukewarm friends a pretext for
charging us with inconsistency. In the begin
ning, we utterly disclaimed the idea of resorting
to any other means of promoting the temperance
reformation, than kind words, sound arguments
and brotherly love, and this really was the posi
tion maintained by the “Sons,” as such, to the
last; but because some—a majority, if you please
—of the Sons chose to exercise their right, as cit-
iz.ens of the State of Georgia, to advocate a par
ticular line of policy, the enemies of the order and
of the cause refused to see thedistinction between
what they did as Sons of Temperance, and what
they did as individual citizens, and willfully per
sisted in attributing to the order, the opinion and
principles of some of its members. Consequently,
the Sons had to bear the odium of this movement
for prohibition, and the additional charge of hav
ing acted in bad faith in the first instance, in or
der to seduce the unsuspecting into their meshes.
Thus were the energies of the Sons crippled by
their own indifference, and their progress impe
ded by the prejudices excited against them by
their enemies. When their influence was neu
tralised, the only efficient temperance organiza
tion was destroyed. These causes, combined
with the known partiality of our people for polit
ical party organizations, conspired to array an
overwhelming opposition to the temperance move
ment; nay, it even forced into opposition many,
who, under ordinary circumstances, would have
acted with us, because in the then position of
things, they were obliged to act in opposition ei
ther to us or to their ‘parly associates, and though
they loved not “Ctesar less, they loved Rome
more,” and so they helped to kill Cresar. The
consequence was, that our candidate was not
shamefully, but gloriously beaten, and the vote
in round numbers was taken as the index of the
strength of the temperance cause in Georgia. A
secondary consequence was, that many, who had
begun to look favorably upon the movement, be
cause it was thought to be growing popular, felt
no hesitation now in openly condemning it, on
the principle—“ Kick him ;he has no friends.”
Well, what has been the general result? Why,
nearly all the Divisions are dead, and those that
live, are dragging out a sort of living death, with
just vitality enough to prevent decomposition,
but not sufficient to promote healthy growth.
There are no Washingtonian societies, and the
voice of a temperance lecturer is like an echo of
the past.
Under these circumstances, what is tobe done ?
Givo up the ship ? And because we have failed
once, fold our hands and say, tee cant l Nay;
let us rather retrace our steps, return as speedily
as possible to the old paths, re-organise the Wash
ingtonian societies, revive the Divisions of the
Sons, brush away the cob-webs from the old Di
vision rooms, and, in “Love, Purity and Fidelity,”
once more enter the lists against the fell destroy
er of our race. Let legislation alone; we have
tried that again and again, and always without
success. It is time we had learned that legisla
tive enactments are worth nothing, except ns they
reflect the sentiments of the people; and that any
law, even if such an one could be enacted, that is
in advance of the moral sentiment of those who
are to be governed by it, would be a dead letter
upon the statute book. If the moral sense of the
people be sufficiently elevated to justify legisla
tion, they, themselves, will demand it, and the
demand, when thus made, will not be in vain. I
am glad to hear that Uncle Dabney is once more
in the field, and I herewith send him, through
you, not only a well-done, but a hearty Godspeed
from his old friend, RUSTICUS.

A Reasonable Guess. —A tipsy Irishman, who
was leaning against a lamp-post, as afuneral
procession was passing by, was asked who was
dead? “Can’t exactly say, sir,” saixl he_*.“but
presume it is the gentleman in the coffin.”
At a late trial, the defendant, who was not fa
miliar with the number of words which the law
employs to make a trifling charge, after listening
awhile to the reading of the indictment, jumped
up and said : “them ar allegations is false, and
that ar alligator knows it.”
A New York letter says: A man was arrested
yesterday, charged with skinning a
horse, which he intended to se'lffor meat, to the
poor people in the viciniiy. He appeared to be
quite astonished, that he should be taken into
custody at all. His wife said that they often
made good soup of horse flesh, and they had
found it first-rate.

Louisiana Sugar Crop. — The New Jrl eans
True Delta, of a late date, sums up the sugar
crop of 1858, at 326,482 hhds. of which 181,621
have already been received, leaving 144,861 yet
to go forward. Os the number received 85,516
hhds. were shipped by sea from Franklin and New
Orleans, and 96,104 up the river. Assuming that
the balance of the crop will be shipped in the
same proportion, the True Delta calculates that
the amount of the crop yet to come up the Mis
sissippi is 74,400 hhds. sugar, and 150,000 bbls.

How many common figurative expressions in
our language are borrowed from the art of carpen

case, framed an indictment, impannelledvti jury,
put them into a box, nailed a witness, hammered
a judge and bored a whole court, has since laid

A Man Hung by a Corpse. —The Cimfinna

snatcher who had stolen a corpse from a grave
yard in the neighborhood of that city, which he
had placed in a bag, was hung while endeavoring
to get over a high fence, the corpse falling on one
side and the body snatcher on the other, he hav -

the sack was shut, and the cord slipping about his
neck, choking him to death.
