Mrs. Morgan’s husband was an ex cellent workman, and had the best wa ges, but he would drink, and like most men of his class, when in liquor, gener ally beat his children and sometimes his wife. M rs. Morgan was a nstable woman, and loved her husband in spite of all, but after years of patient forbearance, she came to tho conclusion that Jimmy Morgan, as she called him, should .stop drinking, whether or no. In other words, she resolved on a private Maine Law of her own. The occasion was one day when Jim my came home to dinner, ha'f tipsy, which always happened when he stop ped at the tavern on his way ; and he did this, on an average, about twice a week. • Now you Morgan,” she said, as soon he entered,'‘you’ve been at the whiskey bottle again. You nedn’t de ny it. I know it by your looks. And by your breath, too—go away, you nasty beast—how dare you try to kiss me when you’ve been drinking ?” * Jimmy had essayed his matrimonial caress, hoping it would conciliate the guide-wife ; but finding his purpose foiled, he siood upon his dignity. “Hoity toity,” he said, “how we put on airs. Give us some dinner, and don’t sulk.” Mrs. Morgan did not often get roused, but she was now; she put hrr arras akimbo and answered : “Not a mouthful of dinner do you get in this house to-day, nor any other, day till you can come home sober. So the sooner you’re off the better.” The half tipsy husband looked at her in amazement. For a moment he thought of enforcing his will, as he had often done before, but whether ho had not drunk quite enough to rouse his courage, or whether the blazing eyes of his helpmate frightened him, he turn ed after a little hesitation, and left the house. Os course lie went straight to the tav-, ern, as Mrs. Morgan rather expected he would. And ol course, when night came, he was led home thoroughly ine-, briuted, as she rather wished he would. He had just sufficient reason left to’ wonder at the extraordinary care, with j which his wife, after assisting to un dress him, tecked him in bed. But. this, and everything else was soon for- j gotten in a siupified sleep. She waited until satisfied that he was entirely insensible, when she proceeded to sew the otFender up in the sheets, ex actly as if he had been a mummy.— The stitches were not small, but they were taken with trebled thread ; and she knew they would hold, especially as he could now use neither legs nor arms. Once or twice he grunted, as if about to awake, but she stopped a mo ment at such times. At last the proceeding wa3 complete. And now she brought forth a cart-whip, which she had borrowed, that afternoon, ’ from a neighbor. “Now, Jimmy Morgan,” she said, apostrophizing him, “I’ll cure you of your beastly habits, or—please God !| I’ll whip you till you’ll be sore for a mouth.” Down came the lash, ns vigorously as her brawny arm could lay it on ; again, again and yet again ; it seemed as if site was never going to stop. And very soon, the offender roused from his stupor, saw what it was, and began to beg for mercy. “Not till you’ve promised to leave off drinking,” was the answer, and the blows descended more vigorously than ever. “Swear never to tasto liquor again !” “Oh! you’ll kill ine-—youil kill me.” “No, it will do you good. To think how drunk you were teu minutes ago, and now to see you rolling about so live- \ ly—never tell me, Jimmy Morgan, that I’m killing you after that.” “Mercy, mercy, mercy,” roared the criminal. “How can yu, Polly, use; your husband so ?” “I can and l will.” And another shower of blows descended. “Hallow as much as you like, for it will do you good; only, 1 can tell you otta thing, it will not rouse the neighbors. I told them what 1 was going to do if you ever came home drunk again. Have you had enough vat ? Will you promise at once, or are you going to hold out still ?” “Oil, oh, oh, groaned the helpless husband, twisting and turning in evety direction, but unable to escape tlie cat aract of blows, “ob, oh, oh !” “Will you promise ? You’d better do it quick,” resumed his inexorable spouse, “or I’ll beat you to a jelly.— This six years Pvo borne your drunk enness, but I’ll bear it no longer. I’ve tried coaxing, I’ve tried everything, and now I’m trying whipping. Y’ou’ve beaten me often enough, and I’m pay ing you back. Promise at once, the quicker the better, for I’ll not let you up till you do, even if it keeps me here ail night, and you’re sick for a year af terward.” It was a irood while before the crimi- O nal gave in. Ho thought Lis wife would tire out at last, but when the castigator proceeded for some time, and he saw no symptoms of either faligue or relenting, he was compelled to suc cumb. “I’ll swear, I’ll swear,” he said, at las*, “I’ll do anything. Only let me ujt. That’s a dear, good Puliy. O! Lord, don’t whip me any more, for I’ve said I’d swear. Oh, oh !” Mrs. Morgan gave him three or four sound cuts more, to “make assurance doubly sure,” before she administered the oath, which she did, at last, with the Bible in her hands, completing the ceremony by making him kiss the hook. From thaLnight Jemmy Morgan was niver known to taste liquor. He told his neighbors that he had been so sick, alter fits last spree, that he had resolved to join the temperance society ; but lie din not tell them what had made him ill. Mrs Morgan, too. kepi the secret, nursing linn through his bruises, which were neither few nor slight. However, as she said to herself, “desperate disea ses require desperaie remedies ;” and soshe never repented of the medicrae she had administered, even though her husband did not earn a dollar for three weeks. A word more, and our tale is done. And that word is its moral. Perhaps other wives might work cures as mirac ulous, if they would try Mrs. Morgan’s Maine Law.— Lartie's National. Fur the Temperance Banner. “Anna Bella ” A word to Ike Editor. You sir, 1 trust, will excuse this arti cle. 1 believe that 1 have at all times, acted caudiiily and fairly with you, and j 1 must say, your cou lucl towards me j has been equally fair. It is asking ! much ofyou, to request the publication of this communication, but I cannot 1 think that you wish to deprive me the i liberty of a reply to chargesofthechar- j acter contained in the article of Anna Bella, published recently in the Banner, j Give me a hearing this one time only, j and l will proirtise not to reply to any other article on the subject, unless my private character should be impeached. ‘ Then a word to Anna Bella. All seems infected that the infected spy, j As all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye. I have not, honoreed madam, the j most remote desire to notice your char ges against me, any further than my present position forces me, to disabuse the public mind. I say against me r for you have given vent to such a burst of personal hatred, that the most care less observer, can at once see that it is my person, not my production , that you wish to rake. Now, dearest Bella, if the readers of the Banner knew every thing as we do in Fort Valley, they would not be sur prised at your knowing my “wlierea bouts.” lam not ignorant, dearest, of the frequent visits of some folks at the good old Sibyl’s abode. I am fully aware that Mother Nobles, has been j turning cups. No wonder then, that you should have, learned nw “wherea- PENFIELD, GA. AUGUST 7, 1852. bouts.” But, my dear, tne old lady is | really loosing her eye sight, and may ~ be, she lias mistaken my features, or my little cottage. We all have rose vines, honey suckles, &c., planted bv our windows, and we all dress very muoh alike; we nil use chalk, and u little paint on our cheeks, when we go in company ; and who knows, —as the sibyl is a little blind, as she turns the cups at twilight—but the prophetess might have seen the mischievous eye, of some idle girl, as she was engaged (furtivels) in petting a note to some for bidden beau ? VV’ell now surely this makes the case clear as mud, and ac counts for the good lady telling you I that 1 was an enemy of “Old Tallulah,” and a sworn enemy of Fort Valley.— > Certainly the old lady saw the roguish ] little maiden, when her ma made her ; swear to forsake hpr swain, and sup posed it was mt. Well realy Bella, it! must have beeu dfficult for one so su-1 perhutnanly endowed as you are, to be so duped, Now, dearest, let mo advise you to buy the old lady a real first rate pair lof spectacles, and go back again and ! have another cup turned. Do Bella ; and ask the old lady if it was certainly Anna Frances, that swore enmity to Foit Valley, and the temperance cause? No person shall laugh at you for visit* | ingihe old sibyl, for she says some of the citizens of Fort Valley promised I never to let her sutler ; (of course dear ! Bella, you will not forget your prom iise.) No, they shall not laugh at you. How can they ? Distinguished persons in all ages have done the same thing. Napoleon carried his oraculurn and con sulted it daily. Csesar would have the astrologers asked if he should do even small things. Alexander underwent the fatigue of a long journey, over san dy deserts, to consult the oracles ot Ju piter Ammon, and to pay his homage. Then who could have the hardihood to blame you. for doing things that the greatest men that ever lived did. Then Bella, it is a mark of distinguished greatness. But really, dear Bella, I never tried to conceal my “whereabouts,” and cared noihing at all about it. But my dear, it is a Utile strange that you should have misrepresented and misquoted my article, as you seem so scrupulous for things being done with precision; and what is still more strange, is that you i should have contradicted yourself, so j often. But 1 guess it was carelessness, j and you will be more particular next time. I know you were mistaken, dear Bella, or you would never have attempted to “ rake me” with the instru ments you used, for be assured your I rake was made of such ill-tempered metal, that you could never irritate me ! with it; you might ralce me all day. j and 1 dare say, 1 would feel so tranquil ; from the gentle tittilaiion, that 1 could fall into a sweet mesmeric dose, and never dream of your “spatters.” Well realy,—But Anna, how on earth did you ‘ oiiie to think that 1 said there was 3 dog-shops in n prosperous condition, in Fori Valiev. Now do take bare Bella, or your immaculate robe will get some of your own spatters on it. If you read my No. 1, you must have known that 1 said no such thing. But dear Bella, you say 1 slandered the dog shops. It I did, you did the same thing, worse than i, tor you made it appear that there arc three (just what I suid,) and that the tw o last are on the pigmy order. This 1 know issr>, but my dear, did you know that one of the pigmy dog-shops, containing only one small room, wus now renting for 30 dollars per month ? This is more than J A.! Kindrick and W. J. Anderson, both ; pays for their large, well finished store-1 houses. Now realy, 1 fear the pigmy’ i* more powerful than any of us thinks, i Yes Bella, we must make the mortify.’ ing confession, that we > ave three dog. j shops in active operation in Fort Va'-1 ley. There is nothing more that t cure to notice in your extraordinary article, and in conclusion, let me say to you, that you will have to show less temper, and less personal animosity, in your fu ture No’s., or you will not fret me into a reply ; when such assertions are put in print, us your article contains, they should be over the writers proper sig. nature. A word to the readers of the Banner: To you dear reader, a few words in ex planation ofthe position assumed by me in my No. 1, and controverted so strong ly by Anna Bella in her No. 1, and 1 am done. The substance of what was said ofthe Sons, was furnished mo by a Son, and a member too of “Old Tallu lah.” When No. 1 was published 1 learned that there was dissatisfaction about it, and had some male friends— men too of the first standing in commu nity, to learn who was hurt, and what it was about, that 1 might make a suit able apology. From these friends, I learned that there was only three per sons displeased, all Sons, and that they were mainly displeased, at what was said about the dog-shops. I did not. in anv sense of the word, misrepresent them,'they are here with all their char acteristic stencil, and filth, gathering around their accursed sheds, the be loved husband, the fond son, and the already besotted drunkard, and diffu sing their poisons through the veins, and thoir depraved moral influence through society. Then 1 cannot apologize.— Oh ! shame upon those that would push softly with one hand, and powerfully sustain them with the other. The charges of misrepresenting “Old Tul llilah,” and being a “sworn enemy” to the prosperity our village, are not worth nonoe. The No’s, alluded toby “Anna Bel la,”—dear reader, were written with the toise hope of arousing, if possible, the friends oi Tt-i.ipe ranee, N >. 1 at thi place, Nos. 2 and 3 generally. I wilU add that they were carefully examined’ by tiroe gentlemen, all warm advo cates of temperance; one a member of “Old Tallulah,” and one a minister of the gospel, distinguished for his piety, and his literary attainments. They failed to find any thing offensive, but highly approved the production. Now reader, if you will turn to my No. I you will see that it does not con tain a single word that could be consid ered prejudicial to “Old Tallulah-” But it will satisfy you that “Anna Bel la” has reduced scioiriachy to a perfect science. Do read the two articles, (mine and hers,) and compare, und l i shall need no other defence. Reader, 1 am fully aware that publi cations iike this and Anna Bella’s, are no advantage toour cause; I did not expect controversy, l have tried all the way through to avoid it, and if you will excuse this, 1 will not ask to be heard again, in reply to Anna Bella, unless my private character is impeached, This I believe, the Editor will prevent, as 1 expect to be with you again soon ; 1 only bid farewell for the present. ANNA FRANCES. Fort Valley, July 12th, 1851. The Liquor Traffic. Mr. Editor: —lt Is not my purpose to discuss Lite question propounded in your editorial, last week, in reference to- legal enactments against the traffic in ardent spirits. The dis cussion of abstract questions about which there are differences of opinion, and upon which no body is ready or willing to act, is not only unnecessary, ibui not to do harm. When any body ! proposes action we may admit theques ! tion of expediency into the argument. It is fair to infer that the anicle allu i ded to, was intended to endorse the ac tion of the S. T. Convention, on Bro. ’ I King’s'resolutions. .Now i would re- Lspectfully suggest that many good Sons ! of Temperance who are no oliice-liun j iers, or seekers of popularity, might ; Have voted against them it they had ; been present. Your correspondent ! was not. Many of us are opposed to agitation where no possible good can re ! salt from ir„especiully when it tends to i cripple the operations of our order.— I The charge has been made a hundred {thousand times within the last 5 years, ■ that our object was to swell our num-l ! bers until we could accomplish, by the’ i strong arm of the law, what we professed ! to be trying to do, by “moral suasion.’ \ i As often has it been denied, whenever | Ia lecturer has avowed the sentiments iof those resolutions, he has left hard | work for the Divisions behind him.—j | When we get to passing resolutions of j that sort, one half the world will believe we are combined together secretly for that purpose, and the other half will say, i “if you are going to put down grog shops by law, there is no use for your Divisions.” 1 think myselt the Wash-1 ingtotiian plan would answer very well, if there were nd grog-shops. Probably some of our correspondents whose no-; lions that way, (such as the ‘Creeks, ) have lhi| thought in view, and are try-] ing to uproot liie foundations of the in-, stitution, so that us soon as we get the; “Law” we can fall buck upon tne old j plan: If so, they need riot tula: the] trouble to nvtiui two jobs oi it. Under- j take the one and you destroy the other., The writer regrets theslute of tilings which brings this question up. After, a season of prosperity beyond that any ] other institution on earth has ever ert- ! joyed, we are now experiencing the re-, ] flux of the tide, and many persons in ’ their commendable zeal for the cause, despairing of the success of the Sons, i are willing—nay anxious—to do any | thing—every thing, to redeem our race < from the curse ofstrong drink. Many have changed their sentiments on this subject lately. Vou, Mr. Edi tor, have not; you “was always so, but you know others who have. 1, forone, ain-in favor of holding on to ou r beloved institution. Let us be faitldul to all our obligations. A. Son of T. is mis taken if fie thinks lie is bound to do noth ing but abstain from intoxicating drinks. Let old temperance men, Christians, and all, be as punctual to their Divisions rooms, as hundreds and perhaps thou sands of reformed drunkards in Georgia are, and we are bound to succeed. No need of laws; we’ll starve the vender from Ins filthy trade, and force him to decent employment. Much lias nl ready been done, —more than many of our best friends are willing to admit! Brethren, hold on! hang on! Pub lic sentiment must he corrected, and you must do it. If you suffer the issue to be changed so as to defeat your pur pose, or if you are recreant to the task you have taken upon yourselves, the downfall of ourorder will be a calami ty from w hich the temperance reforma tion will not recover, until you and your children ure dead ! ROSETTE. Starxville, July 17th, 1832. Dear Banner : —lt has been some ! time since you have had an inkling from ; me, aria indeed so much has my mind 1 been abstracted from other things titan my vocation and so undivedly centered ■ on that, that I apprehend the short • epistle 1 attempting to draft, will be less formal and concise than you might ex pect or desire. (Jur causo is very prosperous here; we have accessions on almost every lodge night, to our nmn ber, and reuily looks like the good old palmy days when Uncle Dabney was with us, to he up and witness the enthu siasm and fraternity of feeling that per vades the order. I think I can say with confidence that Chrdiaw will be the last Division in Georgia to furl the banner of temperance and give up the chase. We have recently been com pelled, b) death, to lose the society and counsel of our inestimable bro ther, G. C. Tickner, he has ever been since the organization of our Division, our chief counselor in the regulation of our temporal affaire, and we in common with the church, the community and his family ore deeply grieved at this lamentable occurrence. But wu are cheered with the confident assurance that he is with our supreme grand wor thy patriarch above, and clothed in the regalia of honor. But we have Alfred Kirsey yet among us, and may he long conjoin with the “stout hearts and strong arms” of his brethren in repell ing the insolence of opposition, in infu sing with the hearts of his brethren high and encouraging hopes, and in winning from the grocery its deluded votaries and hopeless victims. Yes, Cheiiaw can never go down while there are such characters as the Kirseys, the Monroes, the Sessions und the Gays, to vindicate ils character and advuuce j its claims to the patronage of philanthio- I pists and Christians. And the same ■ may be said of the order in general, there is no sufficient reason why it i should ever wane—we are on the right side—we are pleading the cause of 1 “injured innocence and suffering vir tue.” Wo are conforming to Die dic tates of reasSOU and conscience, and we may act bravely, and act with confi dence ; for the “God of battles” has en listed on our side, and oposilion will spend its force in vain ; no storm can topple the fabric which is founded on a rook as eternal as it. Y'ou and 1, dear Banner, will die and pass away before the consummation of our desires on this j subject will be effected, but indications, I “shadows of coming events” portend : the approach of a day when temperance ; organizations will be needless and use 'less. When tho legislatures of all civ ! ilized Christendom will make penal the ’ use as a beverage, of all intoxicating j drinks. It will ue tho necessary and inevitable result of progressive enlight enment. The Sons since tbeir organi zation, have done much towards the ac complishment of that end; thy have done much to enlighten philanthropic, legislators and statesman on Die alarm- 1 ing evils of this contagious and destruc-1 tive habit. Let the friends of temp mmee j and r< ifoion grow not “weary in well 1 doing;” let them work manfully, and I reply upon the final triumph which 1 awaits truth and justice, and tho certain i retribution which will bo visited ongvil. j Continue my Banner. Y'ours, &c. CFIFIIAW. Cotton Hili., Ltnndoiph Cos., ) July Bth, 1852. $ Bro. Brantly :— Ytrur valuable pa per and our organ has not come to hand for several weeks. We have waited patiently, and from present indications, we are doomed to wait to no purpose. There is something in the wind, opposi lion somewhere on the rout, somebody without a soul, stopping our papers, or sending them in a wrong direction. Wo hope you may be able to ascertain the cause and apply proper directions. The cause of temperance in our see tion is rather on the wane- Many of the Sons are lukewarm, and as they are neither cold or hot, they are indiffer ent whether we succeed er not; others have already back-slid, and aie at this time worse men, and worse drunkards than before their full. Our enemies are respected, their name is legion, | they have influence, and their manifest! destiny is to go ahead, zealously effec-j ted in a bad cause. The Primitive Baptists (all of the old] school) are doing our cause all the] harm they can by precept amfexamplo. Ministers and lay members drink, ma i ny of them to excess, and even the sis | ters, some of them, will take a horn oc casionally. But r.s there are not many of the same sort left—and they are di miuwhing—their influence is gradually ’declining. YVoare opposed by certain le gal gentlemen of tho little minded order, who are afraid that their craft is in dan ger by liquor and law, are associated in their minds and cannot he separated. Doctors too advoeute the eaia9o of prince alcohol because they love alee de of the overjoyful at times, beforo and after meals, and it makes them niarvel jusly popular with the drunken clan. The whole tribe of bipeds engage in dealing and dashing out the liquid lire in minimum and maximum doses, day uini night, are wide awake and duly drunk ; it we may judge from their foul mouth opposition to the temperance reformation. Bait a hook with a half pint and you can catch the soul of’ such men, if they have any. \Ve are cursed with anew drunkery in the 7th district ot Randolph, tho first move wus to run blind horses ; a crowd of in terested heroes and patriots met on the day to get drunk and have fun in the evening; they were as polite as dancing masters, bowing, scraping and stagger ing w ith vengance- Bo much for good breeding; they have had several reg ular meetings. I understand a majority of the members ulwravs present, (work ing members, wire pullers, ground and lofty tumblers.) But the quarterly meeting was appointed and held on the third of July, as the fourth was the Sab bath, and with a view to celebrate the day in a becoming maanor, a gander pulling was advertised, a crowd assern bled at an early hour. The most in teresting object was the unfortunate gander with neck-feathers plucked, soaped, all ready for the swing, but as good luck would have it, the bipeds got drunk, exchanged a few hard words and blows, and the gander escaped.— The doggery, (devils den) has beeu fruitful of spoils up to this time, winks, nodds, threats insult, swearing in trible,, tenor, and base bruises, elbowing, but ting, groaning, grinding, hissing, and all stages of drunkenness from a light to hull'sees over, so I am drunk and down at that. Look out lor several murders in Ran - dolph county this year, as drunkenness 1 has been the cause of five or six of them within the last two years, cause and et -1 feet follow rach other naturally, if not necessarily. What can be done? I ’ answer legislate ; let freemen speak, majorities rule in every city, town and’ county; have no license law. If intelli gent men will have liquor give it ttv them in any quantity. Make the evil cure itself. Sons of Temperance vote for no drunkard, no never—party party- TEMPEKANCB.

The man’s real name was Flint, and in some ol the German districts in the west his name became translated into Feuerstein,, which caused him to be addressed u Ferguson; and afterwards going ta New Orleans among the French, hi name was attain translated into Pierre a fusil, which, on his ruturn home, was translated back into the barbarous English name, Peter Gun; so that h# left home as Flint, and came back as Gun.
