Bemperance festival.
all-pervading interest which is felt
thl progress of the Temperance Cause,
U dk cbtless be regarded, by nil our read
,, ais an ample apology for the narrative
i are about to give of a Festival of the
ns of Temperance, recently held in this
ace.
On Saturday, the 20th of May, Father
athfv Division celebrated its first Anni
,‘rsaty by a series of public exercises; af
r which, the members, and numerous
test* from other Divisions, partook of a
impious dinner, provided by the ladies of j
thens.
At half past nine, A. M., the Hall of the :
ivision was thronged by the members and ;
nests, | when some preliminary measures J
ere id pted. About ten, a procession I
as forfned, embracing nearly two hundred I
Beers [and members, decked in their np- i
roprint. regalia. Preceded by a Band of |
lusic, it marched through several streets I
i thlPresbyterian Church, which was soon |
‘owd< and in every part.
Thl exercises were opened with a fine j
Ic, slug by the Church-choir ; after which,
in R*v. Dr. Church, President of Franklin
ulUff, and acting Chaplain of the Divis- j
, n 3pvoked the blessing of God upon the
ay, im l upon the great cause to which it
,-as devoted. He gave thanks for its past j
access, and for the efficiency of the new !
leMurcs adopted for its furtherance.
Another ode was then sung by the Choir,
o the thrilling air of “ God save the King, ’ j
ommeucing—
“ My pledge 1 it is of live,
Sweet vow of liberty,
Os thee I sing!”
BSpidrcds of glad voices were raised in
isiSSu with tliose of the Choir, and swelled
n rjli lmnnony with the noble sentiments
if tH song.
Tl > “ Orator of the Day,” Dr. Osborne
. I (chrane, was then announced ; and a
voui : man, whose ruddy cheeks and kind
ling ye bespoke bis Milesian origin, arose
ind egan an address, not the least admira
ble liaractcristic of which was its enthu
siasm tVe would not, however, do the
yonap speaker the injustice to make bis en
thusii *in the chief merit of liis oratory. It
was lot lacking in the more solid qualities
of the Art. Without attempting a sketch,
hewlrcr brief, of the Address, we may de
scribe it as replete with vivid fancies, spark
lingHllustrations, unique metaphors, and
glowing appeals. The manner of the speak
er, and the accents of his voice, not less than
liis ruii ly cheeks and kindling eye, pro
claimed him a countryman of Phillips, of
Kmmet, and of Curran. The Oration was
receled with long-continued applause, at
test#;; its impression on the large auditory.
After its close, tlic Choir sung, with excel
lentlifect, the following verses, to an ex
quisite air, first wedded to a bacchanalian
song:
SPARKLING AND BRIGHT.
Sparkling and bright in its liquid light,
Is the water in our glasses ;
’Twill give you health, ’twill give you wealth,
Ye 1 ids and rosy lasses.
O, then resign your ruby wine,
Ewcli smiling son and daughter ;
There's nothing so good for the youthful blood,
Or so sweet as the sparkling water.
Bette; than gold is the water cold,
From the crystal fountain flowing—
A Oftlm delight, both day and night,
To happy homes bestowing.
O, then resign, &e.
• SHjow has fled from hearts that bled
Os the weeping wife and mother;
have given up the poisoned cup,
■ sfjtu. ltu.-band, daughter, brother.
O, then resign, &e.
a fervent thanksgiving by the Chap- j
laifc, and the fine anthem —“ Praise God,
frfllii whom all blessings flow,” —by the
CMir, the Benediction was pronounced, and
thJ public exercises of the day were closed.
• jß u hour afterwards, the members of the
Orlcr repaired, in procession, to the Town
V, which had been beautifully decorated
occasion, with evergreens, flowers,
“letices and mottoes. Upon the wall in
fr*it, were the significant questions of Holy
Writ : “ Who hath woe ? who hath sorrow ?
wfyi hath contentions ? who hath wounds,
■without cause ?”■—and the no less significant
dlgponses: “ They that tarry long at the ‘
‘Win s they that seek strong drink!” Grace
ful festoons of intertwining cedar and holly,
raliant with flowers, hung around the spa
-ci(JU3 llall, and lent their sweet perfumes to
the summer air.
dinner was spread out upon three
tildes, extending the whole length of the
Tempting, indeed, was the display of
rich viands, prepared so lavishly by the
bounty of the Indies. We pay no undeserved
tribute to the ladies of Athens, when we
them unsurpassed in taste on
•uch occasions ; but it really seemed as if
they had now, for once, surpassed them-
IBlves. Under the direction of Marshal
Bunns, the large company was soon scat-
M. the ITon. Judge Lumpkin presiding,
Ji* 1 aided by the following Vice-Presidents :
J. S. Linton, P. W. P. ; Wm. Phillips,
; Kcv. Dps. Church & Hoyt ;
■>. A shua y Hcll, and E. L. Newton,
I#”!-- P. W. P.
■At the request, of the President, Ur. Hoyt
a blessing upon the bountiful feast;
for the next half hour, there was more
faet than fancy—more of prose than poet
—in the proceedings of the guests. The
autifully decorated hams, the garnished
the tempting pyramids of cake, the
forms of jelly, all underwent a
of mutilation. Fruits, pastry, ice
c cams, and the other etceteras of a luxu-
feast, were there in profusion; and it
was not the lcnst luxury of the occasion, to
see men, sitting at that festal board, surpri
sed with viands such as tlicy bad never seen
before, since tlicy were rescued by tlic Sons
of Temperance, under God's blessing, from
the paths of vice. The heart of the philan
thropist could not he unmoved, to behold
there —the honored guests of gentle, lovely
woman—men who had, crewhilc.bccnspurn
ed as outcasts from society.
When the dinner was ended, a number of
ladies —would there had been many more !
honored the Hall with their presence, and
were seated on the left of the President, to
hear the toasts and speeches which were to
follow. And now commenced, indeed,
“ The feast of reason and the flow of soul.”
Wm. C. Richards, Esq., as Chairman
of the Committee, appointed to prepare a
scries of appropriate sentiments, announced,
as the first in order,
The Temperance Reformation. —Noble
in its object, philanthropic in its mea
sures, and glorious in its results —may it be
universal in its triumphs.
When the applause with which this senti
ment was received had ceased, the Presi
dent called on one of the Vice-Presidents,
Hon. A. Hull, who responded in a brief
but eloquent tribute to the excellence of the
great cause. A playful query from the
President then called out the Rev. Mr.
Benning, of Savannah, in a brief reply.
The second toast was now drank with
enthusiasm:
The Total Abstinence Pledge. —May eve
ry one say, in the language of Sliaks
pcare:
“ My heart is thirsting for that noble pledge !”
It was followed by the third:
The Sons of Temperance. —A broth
erhood, whose arms shall yet embrace tlic
whole human family.
When this sentiment was announced,
there were numerous calls for the distin
guished President of tlid Day; who, having
for liis motto “ semper paratus,” promptly
responded to the call, and paid a fervent
tribute to the Order, lie said that lie had
watched its progress from its cradle, and
that he regarded it as a plan of God’s own
ordaining, anew revelation in the great
work of Temperance, appointed to succeed
“ dispensations” that had accomplished their
object, and were now passing away. His
eloquence was never more fitly or happily
employed.
The fourth regular toast was then read:
The First Anniversary of Father .Mat
thew Division. —May its last be celebrated
with the final extinction of Intemperance.
This was received with three hearty
cheers, and long-continued applause.
The fifth sentiment was as follows :
Oar Illustrious Godfather, the Apostle
of Temperance. —A large family of Sons
will welcome him to the shores of Freedom.
The sixth :
The Motto of our Order — Love, Purity
and Fidelity. —A tlirce-foid cord that is not
easily broken.
The seventh regular toast was then an
nounced :
The Press. —The great moral lever which
moves the world. Our cause acknowledges
its power.
To this sentiment, at the call of the Presi
dent, Wm. C. Richards, Esq., briefly-re
sponded, rejoicing that it was his happiness
to further the great work, and pledging
himself, and many of liis brethren of the
press, for more zealous effort in the future.
The eighth toast was then announced :
The Reverend Clergy.—- Ready for every
good word and work. Our cause finds in
them unflinching advocates.
The President called on Dr. Hoyt to ae
j knowledge this sentiment, which he did in a
I very felicitous manner, repeatedly provok
j ing the rapturous plaudits of the whole as
! sembly. We regret that we have no space
i to record liis mirth-moving anecuotes.
The .venerable President Church, al-
I so obeyed the call of the Chair, and pledged
himself and his clerical brethren for con
j tinned and increasing devotion to the good
I work.
The ninth regular toast was :
The Bar. —While we would not divorce
Spirit from the Bar, we desire that its Spir
it may be that of Temperance.
The Chair commended this sentiment to
the notice of C. Prepi.es, Esq., who treated
it in a most spirited manner, amid loud ap
plause ; which was followed by the an
nouncement of the tenth regular toast:
The Medical Profession —The only pro
per guardians ami administrators of Alco
hol. We commend it to their safe-keeping.
The eleventh regular toast was then
read:
Mechanics —The sinews of Society ; may
they not be unstrung by Intemperance.
To this sentiment, at the call of the Chair,
Mr. C. S. Oliver made a very appropriate
response. lie suggested that none could
more eloquently reply to such a toast than
the wives and children of reformed drunk
ards.
The twelfth regular toast was:
Temperance Hotels. —
“ Are not good wells
And crystal springs
The very things
For our hotels 1”
To this, after loud and repeated calls,
Marshal Thomas pertinently responded,
that he was no speaker, but if his friends
would visit him at the Newton House, he
would shew them how a Temperance Hotel
could be kept!
The thirteenth regular toast was then
read :
Our Fair Entertainers. —God bless them!
This w r as received by the whole company
standing, and with “ three times three,”
most rapturously given. As soon as silence
was obtained, the President called on Thos.
R. K. Cobb, Esq. ; “ if ho had any thing in
him, to say it now.”
Mr. Cobb said—pointing to the Motto of
the Division—that he would not answer for
the Purity and Fidelity, hut that he had a
great ileal of Love. He could respond to
the toast with all his heart. But we may
not report his speeeh, which called Mr. Pee
ples to his feet in jdayful response, and
might havc-*-
“ Created laughter beneath the ribs of death !”
Our limits will not allow us to record all
id®EHanD© 8
the volunteer toasts which followed, and
which, otherwise, it would give us pleasure
to embrace in this notice. We must, how
ever, find room for a few. The following
was offered by the President:
The Orator of the Day —A worthy rep
resentative of the Emerald Isle, liis bril
liant address has rekindled in our recollec
tion the eloquence of Curran and Phillips.
We welcome him, cordially, to this
“ hand of the free and home of the brave I”
Dr. Lochrane rose to reply, and, though
evidently laboring under much embarrass
ment, gave play to liis exuberant fancy in
sparkling words.
By W C. Richards, Esq.:
The Order of the Sons of Temperance —
An order for the extermination of Intem
perance, which must and shall be obeyed.
By John W. Burke, Esq., of Cassville,
and a member of the Grand Division :
Rev. Dabney P. Jones, our State Tem
perance Lecturer. —May his efforts in the
great cause of Temperance be crowned with
continued success, until he shall strip King
Alcohol of liis entire retinue.
By C. Peeples, Esq. :
The Hon. Joseph H. Lumpkin —Beloved
alike for his frank and gentlemanly bear
ing, and liis integrity and purity of charac
ter. May lie long enjoy his exalted position
and his blushing honors.
By Thomas A. Burke :
The Orator of the Day. —
“Thy words had such a melting flow,
And spoke of truth so sweetly well,
They dropped like heaven’s serenest snow,
And all was brightness where they fell.”
By Jas. A. Sledge :
The Ladies —who have encouraged us by
their smiles :
*■ May purity's white robe be spread
In ample fullness round their fjrm ;
Earth's choicest blessings on them shed,
Life’s sunshine theirs, without its storm!”
During the whole afternoon, the warmest
enthusiasm prevailed, proving conclusively
to every participant, that the spirit oj wine
is not an essential element of social festivi
ty, but that there is a far better spirit to
promote and secure happiness on such occa
sions—the spirit of love —love for our breth
ren.
Many an eye glistened with joy on this
occasion, that had once been heavy with the
stupor of inebriation ; many a head was lift
ed up with grateful pleasure, that had once
bung down in shame ; many a heart beat
lightly, that once throbbed with feverish
and unhallowed excitement; many a lip
kissed with delight the cool, pure, and
sparkling water, that once was parched with
the liquid fires of deatli and destruction !
“ It is a day to be remembered,” said a
friend to us, as we left tlic festive hall—
grateful to woman, our lovely and loving
entertainer—grateful still more to God, for
life, health and Temperance!

The Baptist Triennial Convention.
The rccont session of this body in Charles
ton was largely attended and full of inter
est. We have barely room for a glance at
its proceedings. This is the second meet
ing only 7, since tlic separate Southern organ
ization, and was to have been held in Nash
ville ; but the prevalence of the Cholera
there, in April, rendered it advisable to
change the place of meeting. The Conven
tion met in Charleston on the 23d ult., at
the first Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. John
son presiding. The most interesting topics
discussed by the Convention, were the pro
posed establishment of a Central Theologi
cal Institution —the Instruction of the Col
ored Population —and the opening of new
fields of Missionary labour. A spirit of ex
tended Christian benevolence characterized
the measures adopted. On the Lord's Day,
the Clerical Delegates to the Convention oc
cupied many of tlic evangelical pulpits in
j the City. Tlic session continued until the
: noon of Monday, the 28th ult., when it ad-
I journed to meet in Nashville, in 1852.
Catholic Archbishops. The late Gen
eral Council at Baltimore promoted the Bish- j
ops of New York, New Orleans, Cincinnati .
and Charleston, to the Arch-episcopacy—
subject to the approbation of the Pope of
Rome.
(Dttr lllorUi.
England. With a clock-work regulari- 1
ty the British steamers now bring us week
ly intelligence from the Old World. The
Caledonia brings Liverpool dates of the 12tli
ult. The principal news is, the passage of j
the Bill for the Modification of the Naviga-;
tion Laws, by 10 majority, in the Lords. — j
This modification is almost a repeal, and its
passage increases the security of the Whig
ministry. Cotton was firm. Corn still de
pressed. Money easy, though securities
arc affected by the unsettled state of things
in France and Europe generally.
Ireland.— The attempt to bring in a writ
of errors in the case of the Crown vs. O’-
Brien, has failed, and it is probable that lie j
will be immediately transported, according 1
to the original sentence.
France. Louis Napoleon is involved in ;
serious and increasing difficulties, of which,;
his rupture with Jerome is the least men
acing. There is inteuse disaffection in the
Army—the very soul of power in France.
The Socialist influence is exhibiting itsedf
among the troops, and riots are the result. !
Italy. The complexion of the news by (
last Steamer is now entirely altered. The j
French troops under General Oudinot, sol
confident of a triumphant entry into Rome, j
have been repulsed under its walls, and j
compelled to take a remote position of de- j
fence. His loss in the conflict is stated, at
200 killed, by the French official reports,
but a letter-writer in Rome makes it 600,
and nearly as many wounded. Gen. Oudi
not narrowly escaped arrest by the Italians.
This defeat is felt deeply at Paris, and the
President makes strong demonstrations of
his intention to reinforce the French army
Austria. This Empire is menaced with
dissolution by the continued successes of
the Hungarians, who have taken, since our
last advices, Gran, RaahundTyrnaw The
advance of Russian troops against these ex-
cited victors, is spoken of with little enthu
siasm.
Germ any. This confederacy is in a gen
eral state of revolt —the Princes and their
Parliaments everywhere quarrelling.
Saxony. Dresden had been the theatre
of a terrible battle, between the “ Red Re
publicans” and the troops. It had contin
ued, at intervals, for three days, and was
still raging on tlic 7th ult.—generally to
the disadvantage of the insurgents.
Denmark. The war-spirit lias apparent
ly exhausted itself in this State, for, al
though hostilities continue, they are very
feeble. On the 7th ult., the Danes were de
feated in an engagement.
(General Jntcltiijciirc.
The Inundation of A'ew Orleans. —The
general reports of the papers are gloomy
and discouraging. The water has penetra
ted beyond the centre of the City in one di
rection, and all tlic streets from the Com
mon to the Canal are overflowed. The Sauve
Crevasse is said to be 300 feet wide, and the
work of stopping it, a gigantic, if not hope
less undertaking. Apprehensions nre min
gled with hope that the continued fall of the
river may prevent further disaster.
Homeopathy and the Cholera. From our
Western exchanges we learn that, in the
City of Cincinnati, the Homeopathic prac
titioners have treated a large number of
Cholera patients with unprecedented suc
cess. Out of 150 cases reported by them,
only one resulted in death. Seven physi
cians in Milwaukie, publicly advise the peo
ple to adopt the Homeopathic treatment, in
the event of a visitation from Cholera.
Korecution of Goode. The execution of
Washington Goode, for the murder of Thom
as Harding, took place in Boston on the
25th ult. He was hung in the y 7 ard of the
prison, a few witnesses only being present,
though the scene was witnessed by many
from the windows of the contiguous houses.
The unhappy criminal attempted to commit
suicide just before the hour appointed for
his execution. lie lacerated himself with
a piece of window glass, and lost much
blood.
Indian Depredations. Late arrivals from
the Brazos bring news of an irruption of,
the Camanches, and their descent upon
Palo Alto, resulting in the dcstruation of
life, and the captivity of numerous families,
accompanied with many acts of savage bru
tality. The aid of the Mexicans had been
invoked and promptly granted. A meagre
outline only of the affair has yet been com
municated, but it is sad enough to excite
our deepest sympathies with the sufferers,
and our sincere regret that there is no effi
cient military force in that vicinity.
The Cholera has reappeared at Nash
ville, Tenn. Nine cases are reported up to
the 24th ult.
The Small Pox has entirely disappeared
in Georgia.
OC4* A disgraceful row took place in a
Church at Pittsburgh, on Sunday, the 20th
ult.
The St. Louis conflagration destroyed
property worth six millions of dollars.

Tributes from the North.— lt lias
been frequently said, that the North sneers
at Southern literary effort, and is ever un
willing to acknowledge the merit, or scarce
ly the existence of it. Our own experience
in previous efforts, as in the case of the Ga
zette, is exactly the reverse of this. No
Journals in the South have bestowed more
cordial praise upon our humble efforts, than
many in the North. Let them speak for
themselves.
The Mammoth (Neal's) Gazette says:
Richards’ Wekkky Gazette. —lt is a j’ear
since the establishment of this paper, in a quarto
form, and under the title of the “ Southern Lit
erary Gazette.’* It has now entered on its new
year enlarged and very much improved. No 1
of the new volume contains the first of the prize
poems, “ Wachulla,” by .Mrs. C. H. Dubose,
and a chapter of the first prize tale, by Mrs. Lee
IKntz, a well known and popular Southern au
thoress. Mr. R L-hards’ liberal offer has certainly
resulted in securing gome most valuable articles
for his readers. The poem by Mrs. Dubose is
full of beautiful descriptions aud graceful fancy.
As this is the only paper devoted exclusively to
Southern interests, it ought to be most liberally
patrouized by those for whom it is intended.
The Boston Excelsior , thus;
Richards* Weekly Gazette —This transfer- j
mutiou of the £ * Southern Literary Gazette comes

all “save form alone'’ it bears the same marks
of literary and artistic excellence, and we trust

success. Its projector, Wm. C, Richards,—of
literary fame not insignificant,—is a right good
fellow, and fills the editorial chair with infinite
grace. The new issue contains the first part
of Mrs. Hcntz’s prize-tale, together with the
first prize-poem, and other attractions.
That excellent paper, the Boston Ram
bler,says:
The Southern Literary Gazette, published at
Athens, Geo., has just entered on the second year
of its existence. Tho “ Gazette ” is edited by

That sterling paper, the National Intel
ligencer, says of us ;
Richards* Weekly Gazette. —Such is the ;
title of anew family journal recently started in
Athens, Georgia. It is a continuation of the i
“ Southern Literary Gazette,” and is edited by
the accomplished poet, William C Richards Esq, j
late of the ‘ Orion ” Magazine, and author of
“ Georgia Illustrated.” A paper like the Ga
zette has long been needed in tho South, and
when we arc informed that the editor has the
hearty cooperation of such writers as W. G.
Simms, J. M. Legare, Henry lb. Jackson, and
Mary E. Lee, it cannot be doubtod that the jour
nal is destined to accomplish much good, and be
come widely circulated among the intelligent
people of Georgia and the Carolina*. The liter
ary and moral tone of Richards’ Gazette arc
both of a high order, and we are not acquainted
