D. P. JUNKS. |
Palmetto, Ga., ‘22d July, 1852.
Run Clay, Gii., 20 July, 1552.
Mr. Editor: —On Monday 12lh inst.
Uncle Dabney Junes,.alias, the nu'CHKit ■
of Georgia, entcitained the Sons ofj
Temperance of Red Clay Division, and I
a large corcournct of gentlemen and la-j
dies, in u strain of eloquence, peciiliuily
bis own.
Dabney is a speaker, “sui generis,” i
and bis success in the temperancel
‘cause depends more upon the way hej
lights tho voturjes of Alcohol, than any
peculiar power of persuasive eloquence.
He first began tho contest with small j
arms and behind the trees—the udvo. j
calcs of rum, like the saucy boy iu the j
apple tree, only laughed at this, but j
when he began to hear upon ttn-in with .
lurge guns, thev looked a Utile wild,’
but iiually, (like old Hickory with the ;
Indians,) lie drove them upon the open ,
plains and began to shoot wagons and
teams at them, —they were then con
founded and amazed—thinking like the
Yankee at tho battle of Butiker’sJ lili,
“Je whilliiiius J” the old man is firing
builds at us, and it is time to fly !”— 1
Ili. manner of address, and the way he 1
handles this Subject, is essentially cl if- ‘
f> rent from any of the public orators ofj
the day. The keenest bursts of satire I
against all the advocati sos itnvtocrasy,
sparkling wit. and well-timed anecdotes,
followed by pathetic w arnings against
the evils of intemperance, and a kind J
invitation to the aged and the young, to
escape from the temp'er’s snar n s and j
join the order, whose motto is Lose, Pu-\
rit;/ and Fidelity —marked the subject
mutter of his discourse on the above
mentioned, day.’ < /
A I*. S. White, with his giant intel-:
led—a Proleswr Hew lett, with olu
qucncc worthy of Cicero in his palmiest
days, are unceasingly laboring for the’
bene lit of our ordei—they merit our,
highest praise; but it i* reserved for!
this n -ed veteran —this Blucher of (u or- ’
gin, to follow io their footsteps w tin j
thuudeiing artillery-—fiesh from the’
laurels of victorious battle fields, and
to gather up those lingerers who are j
halting behind.
His visit among us has been produc
tive of good. His natural s-rio-comi
r;al countenance —In- unrivalled pow
ers of mimicry, and bis felicitous man
ner of demeaning the votaries of alco
hol, in such a way us to give no offence j
to any honorable man, for almost three
hours elicited frequent bursts of laugh
ter and applause, not only from the
friends, but eve-ti from the foes o! the
glorious temperance cause. Some 12
or more gave in their names, and eight
of them were initiated on last Wednes
day night, and a good prospect of sever
al more. The cry 1 hop© will be “and
still thev come! make room, make
room ! ’
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, so far as
this region is couccrned, 1 think the
dark veil of prejudice is passing away,
and that the glorious principles of tem
perance w ill, betore manv years, burst

Commencement at Fimory College
Mr. Editor :—Last week 1 attended 1 :
t he Commencement exercises of Emory
l College; I haye thought that a shirt
I sketch of xvhat 1 saw and heard, would
j not be uninteresting to you and your
i readers. The Commencement Ser
j moil xvas preached on Sunday tho 13th
| inst., by the President of the College,
Dr. Geo. F. Pierce. I did not arrive
I in Oxford until Monday the 19th, and of
course cannot speak of the Sermon of
Dr. Pierce from any knowledge of my
own. 1 beard it however, spoken of,
universally, in the highest terms.
On Monday night we xvitnessed the
prize declamation of the Sophomore
cluss. They declaimed in the billow
ing order:
JOHN G. REYNOLDS, F. S.—Coving

WILLIAM T. SOLOMON, f. S.— j

CHARLES A. M’DANIEL, F. S.—At

The most of the young gentlemen de
claimed remarkably well.
On Tuesday at 10 o’clock, A. Al.,
the Junior Exhibition came off in the
following order:
JOHN F. ELLISON, F. S.—Macon
County, Ala. —Ooodness preferable to Great
ness.
ROUT. M. McNAIR, F. S.—Richmond

JAMES R. MAYSORO, F. S.—DoKalb
Cos., Ga. —Old Uachelors, ‘1 Vo li,mo Tub
tico.”
JOHN W. GLENN, F. S.—Jackson Cos.,
! Ga. —Southern Literature.
All these speeches were very good,
j The txvo in regard to old bachelors xvere 1
1 quite interesting. I xvas once almost a
i bachelor myself, and therefore, ought,
perhaps, to extend my sympathy to the
venerable fraternity ; but 1 must admit
that 1 enjoyed, with a great deal of
! pleasure, the severe castigations that
Mr. M’Laughlingave them. And I no
ticed that the ladies wore particularly
delighted. Cruel creatures! They
never would marry the old things , (that
is xvliut the laxlies cull them,) but b\
; their oft-repeated refusals, have firccd
them to be what they are, and yet they
i urd ready to laugh themselves almost
I to death when any body is poking tun
at them. That is,-—'vomuu forces a
a man to be un oIJ bachelor, and then
1 laughs uud is delighted beyond meas
ure, xx lien ho is tantalized fur being one.
1 Mr. Maysoro on bis parr, however, de
tended the old bachelors as well as it j
; wus possible to defend sue., rusty- oid i
fellows. Both these young gentlemen
showed wit and humor. 1 regretted,
however, the use by each of them, ofj
-some very coarse and inelegant allu- |
stone, and comparisons. \V here was
1 the Professor’s pexv ?
At t o’clock in the afternoon, an ad
; dress was delivered before the Alumni
Soeiotv bv Dr. Thomas D. Hutchinson,’
of Oglethorpe County. His subject j
[was: —The Pleasures of Association.
Ills speech was a very pretty proilue
! lion--chaste and xvell vv i men. 1 would
i be glad to see it in pi int.
At night mi address xvas delivered
1 before the Cresceut Society by L. Q.
C. Lamar, Esq. The Crescent Socie
ty seems tube a thing sui generis. I
j did not find out much about it. Bu-t
, there xvas, on this occasion, such a dis
play ol candle-lights mid streamers,
and aprons und sashes, (all headed by
an odd, crescent shaped banner,) as
threw the Masons, Sons of Temperance,
Odd-Fellowß, und every other ftaterni
jty that I knoxv of, completely in the
shade. Mr. Lamar’s speech was gui
generis also. Tho drift of it “'as to
show that there xvere very great errors i
in existence, in regard to government.
One (if the best illustrations of the fact
which he xvas endeavoring to enforce,
xvas, 1 think, the gentleman s own
speech. 1 understand he is a young
man of smartness. The fact, his /
i speech showed that he xvas capable of
of vigorous thought. But 1 bud rather
a man xvould not think at all, than to
’ think wrong. But if there can be any j
difference of opinion, as to bis ability, j
there cun lie none as to his bravery,
lie pitehedinto the views of Blacksloue,,
Lo d(e, Piiley and such characters, and
combatted them with the utmost bold
ness. i
On Wednesday at 9 o’clock, the ad
dresses of the graduating class com- j
, menoed. The fulloxving was the order: ,

ediclory to the President and Class.
The Class did themselves and the
College great credit. 1 was tniicii
pleased with the speech of Mr. Atitotr.,
I and also xvi'h the manner in which it
xvas delivered. I xvould refer to the
i speeches of several others of the class ii
Imy space xvould permit.
Next came Dr. Pierce’s baccalaure
j ate. It was appropriate and eloquent
; No man can beat President Pierce on
|an occasion like this. His styled de
j damation and order (f mind (it him iu
a wonderful manner for making a bril
| fiant display before an assembly such
ascongiegale upon Commencement oc
; easions.
Then followed the address of the-j
Hon. Geo. R. Gilmer, to the Sopno- j
more prize declaimers. Mr. Gilmer j
in the.outset of his address announced!
t the successful compeditors, The first j
’ prize xv;xs axvarded to Mr. McDaniel.
file committee were unable to make a j
I distinction between Mr. Dax’ son and j
Mr. Lebean, und therefore gave the 2d j
prize to those two jointly. 1 xvas at toot
. great a distance from Mr. Gilmer to
Iteat him distinctly, but from the signs
made by those less remote from the
stage than myself, J judged that he!
said many very good things.
Next, and lastly,'came the address!
j before the Fexv and Phi-Gamma Socie- j
j ties by the Hon. Alex. 11. Stephens.— ,
j liis subject was : ihe Elements nee-!
’ • cssary in a man’s character, for success!
iin life. 1 luiderstaifd the address xvill j
( j ue published, and therefore it is unnec
jessary for me to speak at large in re-!
igaid to it. It is sufficient to say that:
: j the expectations-of the audience xvere j
j very high, uud tlrut Mr. Stephens fully j
j came up to them. He spoke also un
der unfavorable circumstances. The
j audience had been kept sitting four long ,
[hours, iu a very warm day, before
lie commenced ; and yet sucii xvas the
i desire to hear him end so xvell did he
engage their attention, that they re.
nniiaed more than another hour listen
ing to him xvith wrapt interest. Few
men could have held the attention ot
the crowd so completely under such
circumstances. One old lady, xvho, 1
suppose, resides somewhere in the
country surrounding Oxford, after she
had heard .\lr. Stephens, expressed her
self in regard to him, in my hearing, in
j the following manner: “YVell, he is
so smart, 1 raley thought fie xvas pretty.”
It’ this should chance to meet the eye of
Mr. Stepltens, l xvould assure him, that:
so far as l could learn, the old laxly |
did but express the prevailing sentiment
amongst the ladies.
I xvould say before cloning, that 1
noticed that the main College Edifice
was being built. It is to be quite u
large and line building, but 1 thought
the internal arrangements bad.

Once while travelling in some of the j
lower counties that make approaches to ,
Savannah, I remember hearing of a
joke, told for a fact; bo that as it may,
it matters not, the moral is a good one
which the reader can make.
It is or xvas, customary for certain
farmers and their wives to go to mar
. ket once a month,; many of the poor
er class burn xvood and make coal,
whicti they put in their little one horse
, cart, with eggs, chickens, and sundry,
! other saleables for barter with the town j
sulks. In return they got coffee, onions,!
; whiskey— powder and shot, &c.; old
brother free, as lie xvas familiarly
i called, was a good old man, lacking!
1 one tiling—he would get drunk some-j
times, and one ol tiiose times was par- j
! ticularly,when the ‘old boss’, as hej
:’ called himself, went to loxvn. Un one
j occasion his w ife and himself started
j xvith'ih’ ir load, and as corn had been
i scarce some time, Ins ‘critter’ looked a
little the worse for wear. After selling
! nut they decorated their cart with uj
• string of onions, anew tin-pun, kettle— j
besides the little and big jugs of whis
key. Tiie day xvas very warm, and
! the ‘old boss’ had to proceed very slow- j
ly his wife proposed to spell the crit
-1 t, rby Walking part of the xvay, uud
j soon xvas out of sight of the establish
i ment behind.
Novv, said the ‘old boss’, is my time,
the old woman is out of sight. He had
! Het'n tolerable “bow do you come so”
all day, and [lulled the other ‘sheet’, so
! that lie might be culled well soaked ; !
he got off his ‘critter’, took him out, arid
; tied him in the sun, he rested tor about
jau hour, and after taking another pull,
j started forth again. He soon come up
xvith liis better half; who had been
! watching for him. ‘Well Iree, said she
jin her usual careless slate, Pin glad
j you’r cum, for I’m mighty tired xvalk
j in.” “Well just gel in xvill ye, said
the ‘old boss’, hollowing out, wo, wo,
i and the‘old boss’ and his poor‘critter’
1 came to a dead hah. “Why gracious
jme wharf the cart ?” (said his xx if-,)
j u whar's the cart V H wliar's yer eyes E"\
[••get inf said the ‘old /loss ; ’ ‘get in
wliar,’ said the old woman. Tho ‘old
i boss’ was perfectly ‘fetched, when iie
looked behind and found the cart was
j not there. Enough to say the old mun
was so puddled he thought he hitched
in, and actually drove us if the carl xvas
there. Whenever any of the neigh
j hors do any thing funny in Lis ueigli

Banner Affairs.
j The action ot tlie fhaLo Temperance Con
vention at Newnan, in behalf of the Temp Er *
ante Banner, appears to be well received
j by some of the friends of teinperance Li th
State. We think proper to state, that the
measures taken by the Convention, were not
suggested by us, and xve were nut
to call upon associations to draw upon their
Treasury, in aid of the Banner. We were
pleased, however, that some action xvasta.
ken, and xve are -also j,leased that sonte of
the friends oi t lie cause, are at work, in cur
rying out the good intentions of the body,
it is a fact, that for l he last two years, our
receipts have not equalled our expenditures.
We make this statement with mortification
hut it is tiue. Vt e proposed to e ll l in<-e
and publish the Banner weekly, atOne Dol
lur per annum, if we could get Five Tliou
sundpaying Subscribers. We succeeded in
getting the live thousand subscribers; but
for nearly two years, some tuo thousand,
have not contributed a dune Lo our support.
Wc desire not only to procure means to
meet our ordinary expenditures, but a.so to
procure new materials for ihe improvement
of the B urner. If xve had our just Hues,
this xve should be able lo accomplish, to Un;
benefit ol Subscribers themselves, as well
as the cause.
But our purpose was to encourage friends
generally, to make an effort to increase our
circulation, and to aid us in squaring up oal
accounts. This xve must do, and if the
friends of the cause in other places will fid.
j low the example set by S ind Hill and Hu
| liitb Divisions, tlie B inner will be improved
j and xve xvill beenabled lo meet all our en
giigeineiils.
Tile following extracts we commend as
worthy examples to the friendsoi the cause
in every county :

u Anx a Frances,” u young lady of

I worthy example lo young and old La

cause of “all mankind” promoted.

chants.
Our readers, accustomed to transact busi
ness iu Savannah, are. referred to the Card
of Messrs, Lawson &, Godfrey. Also to
that of Messrs. Hardwick & Cooke.
While attending the session of the
Grand Division, in April last, in Savannah,
we stepped into the Counting Room of the
latter firm, and one of the gentlemen very
readily asked for our Advertising Bill, which
he said lie would pay cheerfully, as the Card
in the Banner had been the means of secu
ring them valuable custom from Montgome
ry county. A farmer or two in Montgom
ery county, had consigned all their Cotton
crop to them, from seeing their advertise
ment in the Banner.
Augusta.
33F“ See advertisement of J. J. Pearce,
\\ arehouse and Commission Merchant, of
Augusta. Nothing is lost, and we know
our commercial friends are gainers, by
availing themselves of the columns of the
Banner in making their busincs known to
country traders.
Cause and Effect.—“ The poor in
the work-houses in Ireland are in the
most miserable state.”
“7,086,374 gallons of whiskey were
consumed in Ireland last vear.”
“ I ne number of licensed beersellers
in England and Wales alone is about
40,000.”
“ I here are also 3.000.000 of paupers
in England and Wales.”
How singular it is that every body
( is out of motipy at the same time.
W boever undertook to borrow ten dol
jlars without finding all bis acquaintan
ces hud ‘a little note to take up,’ which
made them jpst that amount short them,-
selves.
